MARCH BUSINESS
REVIEW IS GIVEN
Hard Winter Caused Bust
ness to Dip Down in Jam
uary and February
Supplied by
yitizonS Rank e. Trust Go.

Citizens Bank L. Trust 20.
The hardest winter in many years
has been holding business back in
these last weeks. Between the mid
die of January and the middle OF
February sales volume and check
transactions fell off so sharply that
the index of business dipped down.
ward
Automobile sales were naturally
much affected and steel production
shrank little as a result. Loadings
of merchandise freight also declined,
but both, of course were we'll above
the levels of a year ago. Electric use
held steady, however, at levels close
to those of last December when con-
sumption of current reached its all
time high. Soft coal production, on
the other hand was largely increased
although in many sections severe cold
and heavy SHOWS made transporter
ton of the fuel difficult indeed.
Last year $4,000 new individual
dwellings were built in this country.
This year building material dealers
are counting on at least 100000, and
on a gain of more than 1000 in mod
ernization operations Mortgage
loans under Title II of the National
Housing Act are being made in
growing volume Costs show ten
dency to rise as new orders for soft
wood lumber exceed production and
shipments. In the past six weeks the
weather has kept down the total of
new contracts, the aggregate for thir-
ty-seven states falling 1870 below the
december total which set a new high
for the recovery period In spite of
all this, January residential contracts
ran $40 ahead of January 1885 and
non-residential permits were up 1850.
Automobile statesmen have a hard
time in zero weather but these last
weeks have not discouraged them.
Sales already arranged promise excep-
tionally heavy deliveries this month
and in April. February deliveries
have not been tabulated as yet but it
is apparent that sales of pleasure cars
and trucks will run we'll ahead of the
205,000 units delivered in the CORES
ponding period in 1885. Orders for
new cars are largely in excess of pos
sible immediate deliveries, especially
in the East. Last years truck sales
were only $50 below the ali time high
of 1929 and this years total seems
sure to set a new record. Store door
delivery by the railroads is being ex-
tended rapidly while the removal of
crop restrictions promises to help
the truck market in many farming
areas.
Government peace-time spending is
expected to reach a new peak in the
second half of this calendar year.
Most of the two billions to the vete-
rams is likely to be paid before jan
uary 1, 1887, while public works and
relief seem certai nto exceed one bill
lion. Bonus money is likely to pro-
vide a sharp stimulus to business
during the late summer and early fall

has been a member of the Legion
since it's organization, he has never
sought office or honor in the Legion
itself and has never tried to dictate
to the Legion or it's officials but has
been content to be mere member.
'"The result of this policy on the
part of Graham is that he. now has
the good will and support of most of
the Legionnaires," one of those who
was at the Burlington meeting said
today. "Out of at least Is Legionnaires
with whom I talked, at least 70 of
them said they were supporting Ora

were for Hoey. The one exception said
he was for DR.. Mcdonald"
It is generally agreed that past

will support Hoey. In fact, recent re-

that he will undoubtedly carry David

many who doubt if Olive will be Sc

and for two reasons. One is that such
move would be a too evident ges-
ture on the part of Hoey for support
from the American Legion in the
State The other is that it would he
futile gesture, since even most OF the
Hoey forces concede that the bulk OF
the Legion votes will go to Graham,
according to most observers.

Sixth Headless Body
Found in Cleveland
Detectives Find That All Six
Crimes Have Much
Similarity

Kingsbury RIM, a small stream
which Wanders through the southeast
section of Cleveland, Ohio, yielded
Saturday the sixth headless body
found in the city within the last
year,
Like the others, the body-that OF
d man-had been cut, detectives said,
with a skilful hand. The torso had
been sliced in two pieces. The head
was not found.
Fsremen with graphing hooks at
tempted unsucceSsfully to find the
missing head in the pond where the
torso was found. A blood-stained
shirt, wrapped in a Tuesday morning
newspaper, was found on nearby
culvert.
Detective Sergt. James Hogan of
the homicide squad said the body
bore marks familiar to investigators
of the five previous decapitations.
Three of the other five bodies were
found close to Kingsbury run.
The first two victims we're found
in September, 1885, at the foot OF
Jackass hin, near the stream. The
heads were buried in sand nearby.
One of the victims was identified as
Edward A. Andrasy, %. No motive
for his killing ever was established.
The other body, that of man about
40, has not been identified. Andrasy's
wrists were chafed; apparently he
had been tied.
Last January the torso of a woman
was found in two bushel baskets in
an east side vacant lot, ont far from
the downtown area. The body was
identified through the fingerprints
as that Of Mrs. Florence Polilla, Al.
Mrs. Poilla was once arrested in a
vice raid.
Two boys playing hooky from
school in June found the head of
man under a sumac tree in a gully
off Kingsbury Run. The torso was
found next day in scrubby spot
nearby. The body was never identi-
fled.
In July a girl walking through a
wooded west side gully stumbled on
the nude and headless body of the
fifth victim, man. The head was
found 40 feet away wrapped in a
coat. The man could not be identi-
fled.
Detective pointed to the clean
work of decapitation in each in
stance. All the bodies, except that of
Mrs. Polilla, wer found near rail
road tracks.
