while thousands of industries serv-
ing the people with food, clothing
and necessary products have lost
a large part of this trade total"
AS national gains, subsequently
unmatched in the repeal period, the
WCTU pointed to a 212-pound per
capita increase in milk consumption
and a new billion dollar industry
resulting from increased sales of
fruit and vegetable juices and other
ingredients of alcoholic bever-
ages, during prohibition.
The scoresheet listed as startling
contrasts in the national economics
between the first seven years of
prohibition and the first seven years
of repeal:
During prohibition, home build
ing was at its peak, assets of build
ing and loan associations increased
nearly $50 per cent and savings
deposits, life insurance investments
and automobile sales scared. Dur
ing repeal, this trend, especially in
home-building, was reversed.
Average attendance in movie the
aters exceeded 100000 900 weekly
admissions during prohibition, but
IN the decade covering repeal ad-
missions have dropped 45 per cent
to 55,000,00O.

Pressure Against
Citizens ofU.S.

SHANGHAI, Dec. 5. (UP)-Amer-
leans IN Japan are being subjected
to increasing inconveniences be-
cause of Japanese irritation over
the new United States "war loans
to China, according to private mes
sages reaching here today. Addi-
tional American families are plan
ming to leave Japan for the United
States shortly.
Censored telephone dispatches
from the United Press offices in To-
kyo limited at increasing tension
and revealed that U. S. Ambassador
Joseph G. Grew formally had called
Matsuoka's attention to Sundays
incident in which a japanese defiled
the embassy premises. The foreign
minister already had expressed in
formal regrets at the occurrence, it
was said, but the embassy was not
satisfied and asked that special po-
lice be stationed around Crews res
ldence. within the embassy COM
pound that houses offices of the
embassy staff, the consulate gen.
eral, military and naval attaches,
and others.
1t was generally believed that the
U. S. Asiatic fleet is being quietly
reinforced and that sooner or later
part of it is likely to be stationed
on Britain's Singapore naval base
a move which some observers
thought may lead to a show down.
Signal victories by the Axis pow
ers in Europe. it was revealed, would
have immediate repercussion in the

Indians Demand
Reparation for
Treaty Violations

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4. CUP)-
Senators Burton K. Wheeler of
Montana and Elmer Thomas of Ok
lahoma headed back today for the
big white tepee in Washington to
null over, with their fellow law
makers, the conflicting claims of
California Indians who waht a
modicum of wampum from the gov
ernment because of violations of
the 1852 treaties.
More than 200 Indians, repre-
senting a score of California tribes,
appeared before the senators here
to air their views on an amend
ment to the claims bill, now before
the senate.
A bill passed in 1928 authorized
the 200 tribes to sue the govern
ment for violations of the treaty
under which they gave up land on
which San Francisco and Los An
geles were built. The attorney gen.
eral of California was designated
as counsel for the tribes.
The pending amendment would
extend the grounds on which
claims could be filed, permit tribes
to hire private counsel and allow
whites who have aided the In
dians to present claims of their
own.
Charges were aired that a group
of whites have been promoting the
bill for selfish ends.
Stephen Knight and Arthur Trep-
pa, representing the Pomo tribe of
Ukiah, joined with representatives
of the California Indians Rights
association to specifically name
Purl Willis, San Diego, councillor
for the mission Indian federation,
and Fred G. Collett of San Fran
cisco, representative of the Indians
of California, inc.
Collett denied the charge, de-
clared that Indians represented by
his group wished to hire private
council and do away with assistance
of the attorney general because
they believed they could achieve
better results.

Legislature Asked
ToApprove
Housing Program

SACRAMENTO, Dec. S. CUP)-
Senator Robert Kenny, Los Angeles,
today asked senate approval of a
moderate-cost housing project in
Los Angeles involving an amend
ment to the insurance code to per-
NIT qualified life insurance concerns
to invest in real estate.
Kenny said the enabling act would
permit the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance company, or others having
assets of more than $50,0O0,000, to
invest $4,000, 900 in a housing pro-
ject on property now owned by the
University of Southern California
and under option for sale to the
company.
Kenny declared the entire Los An
geles delegation supported the bill
as means of bringing private cap
ital to California and increasing
employment. The 10 square blocks
involved are bordered by Third street
Wiltshire, Beverly and Fairfax boule-
wards, adjacent to the La Brea tar
pits and one of the most exclusive
areas of Los Angeles.
The apartment = type buildings
would rent from $65 to $1OO month
lily. IT,. -. .t.'
Senator Chris Jespersen, San Luis
Obispo, objected to permitting in
surance companies to go into COM
petition with apartment houses and
hotels, many of which he said were
mortgaged to the same companies
He urged no action until the regu-
lar 1941 session.
Some senator's opposed the meas
ure as special legislation for one
company but Kenny said probably
so or more companies were eligible,
that such a large amount of money
should be encouraged to be spent
and urgency was required to hold
the option which expires this month
