Favorable Conditions in Some Lines

That the continued downward
trend of business generally is modi-
fled by specially favorable condi-
tions in some lines in southern
California is shown in the Monthly
Summary of Business Conditions for
December issued by the Research
Department OF Security-First Ma
tional Bank. The principal areas
of decline appear in the manufac-
turing field and in the securities
and commodities markets. On the
other hand. retail trade. building

cultural conditions were fairly well

Oakland Machine
Traced In Hit-run

What police believed was a hit
run car was found Friday night to
be registered to Dewey Villa, BOG
Adaline street Oakland.
The car was blamed by Morton
Childers, Ell Centre. for crashing
into his machine at Eighth and

Even their whereabouts had beer
left a matter for speculation by
Lindbergh's strict regimen of Sc

of evidence TO indicate that they
were voluntary prisoners behind
the high iron fence of the closely

This was denied, however. by Mrs.
Morrow's secretary.
The Lindberghs returned to the

the captain of the vessel did not
know of his distinguished passen-
gers until a few minutes before
he sailed, and fellow passengers did
rot know it until the ship was
well at sea. To guard against any
passenger sending the news ahead,
Col. Lindbergh asked that the
ship refuse any radio message in
