.YULE SHOPPING
HEAVIEST IN
SIX YEARS

More than 5000 million dollars
in dividends, bonuses and wage in
creases have been distributed this
year, resulting in the biggest
Christmas spending in six years,
Government reports disclosed to-
day.
approximately 1900 million dol
lars have poured into pockets Of
stockholders and workers during
the fourth quarter alone, officials
estimated.
Dividends Widespread
Treasury officials asserted the
widespread distribution Of divi-
dends was stimulated by the cor
porate surplus levy; while Com
merce Department experts said
business recovery was mainly re-
sponSible.
Optimistic, Treasury experts
estimated the total taxable income
for 1895 would pass 10000 mil
lions. This is 1000 millions over
the original estimate submitted to
Congress last spring, and 5000
million over 1885 taxable income
Of $14,656, 900 900.
Total national income for this
year now is estimated by Com
merce Department officials as in
excess of $1,000 millions, approx
mately 5000 millions over 1895.
Big Revenue Gain
Treasury officials said on this
basis, Federal revenue in the com.
ing fiscal year when income taxes
are collected on 1895 earnings,
should reach 1000 millions, a gain
of $500 millions over the current
year.
Commerce Secretary Roper de-
clared that Christmas buying may
establish a record.
Roper said:

EXPECTED
TO CONDUCT
YULE MASS

VATICAN CITY, Dec. II
U.N.S).-Although it was author
itatively learned Pope Plus XII
has made no appreciable progress
in his 12-day fight against ure-
mia and paralysis, an official Vati-
can announcement expresses hope
His Holiness may be able to cele-
brate mass on Christmas Eve.
The official statement said the
79-year-old Pontiff's condition has
shown improvement, but from in
formed Vatican sources 1t was
nevertheless ascertained that the
Pope'S physicians in private con-
situations held little hope this
momentary improvement would
lead to eventual full recovery.
Fighting Relapse
The Pope's chief physician, Prof.
Amanti Milani, is exerting every
means Of medical science to pre-
vent any relapse that might prove
fatal. During his regular visit to-
the i'll Pontiff tonight DR.. Milani
emphasized the Importance Of alb
solute rest and long sleep to avoid
the danger Of a relapse.
No new bulletin was issued
by DR.. Milani to add to the official
Vatican statement. But it was un-
dersood the physician expressed
satisfaction over the medical rou-
tine being carried out to combat
uremia.
Realizes Handicap
The Pope himself has been
quoted by his medical advisers as
admitting his advanced age is an
adverse factor in his struggle to
overcome the ailments affecting
him. On several occasions he has
told his intimates he is prepared
for whatever may be the eventual
outcome Of his sickness.
The official announcement by
the Vatican stated:
"The POpe's condition con-
tinueS to improve. It Is thought
probable the Holy Father may
be able to Offiiiate at the Christ
mas Eve mass in the presence Of
the cardinals"
LITTLE PROGRESS
In accordance with ancient Vat
lean tradition, the cardinals,
members Of the Pope's private
family and high church func-
tionaries visit His Holiness each
Christmas Eve to present their
greetings.
While official Vatican sources
believed it possible the Pope may
celebrate Christmas Eve Mass
this year, there was still conSid-
cradle doubt over whether His
Holiness would be able to with
stand the strain of receiving q
large number Of visitors.
From authoritative private Vat
tican circles it was learned that,
although the Pontiff has suffered
no relapse since he was stricken
on December 4, he has shown Lit.
tie, If any, progress in his strug-
gle against the ailments which
have kept him confined to his
sick-bed for nearly two weeks.
In Wheel Chair
Prof. Milani, however, continues
to take an optimistic view, belly.
ing the Pope will be able to leave
his bed shortly, although asthma
and hardening of the arteries
have complicated his condition.
Daily the Pontiff is carried in
q wheel chair from his sick room
to the Holy Sees private chapel
only a few yards away for mass.
A special apparatus, consisting
Of wooden framework, has been
attached to the Pope's bed to ele-
vate the blankets and give the
Pontiff'S limbs freedom from the
weight of the bed covers.
The Pope is kept warm by an
electrical thermal flask,
