PREDICTS GAINS
 TO RECORD HIGH
Zelomek Says Production Will Duplicate l94O
 Advance
BY A. w. ZELOMEK (EcOnomist,

 New York, Jan. 4E(UP)-Amer- ican business will reach new all time highs in 1941, irrespective of war tendencies. Should the war ter- m1nate suddenly, it undoubtedly would have momentary effect on production and prices and major eftect on psychology. It would be followed, however, by a sharp re- bound and an accelerakion of our defense program.
 Current indications are that in.. dustrial production may show the same percentage of increase over 1940 as 1940 showed over 1889. The new Federal Reserve index of pro- duction, using 1935-1939 as a base Of 100, may average 135, compared with 121 in 1940 and lO8 in 1899. The previous peak was in 1887, at 113. Consumer income for l941 may approximate 84 billion dollars, as compared with 76 billion dollars in 1940. Wholesale prices are expected to average about 6 per cent above 1940, with the years average hard- ly approximating that of 1887.
 The industrial pattern during 1941 will be dominated by defense activity, with cash expenditures for this reaching 500 million dollars a month my mid-year or before. In the meantime, 8 billion dollars in contracts have already been award ed. A continuation of defense and armament expenditures is likely ir- respective of the character of the war or what happens abroad.
 There is no indication of run- away prices next year, although a more rapid rise in quotations is like- ly later on. The government has power to prevent prices from get- ting out of line and will utilize these powers when and if necessary. It seems very likely that there will be fewer strikes than in similar periods of high industrial activity in the past. Higher wages, however, are indicated and the vaerage advance may even exceed slightly the indi- cated gain in cost of living.
 Among the constructive factors in the 1941 outlook are included a probable gain of or { billions in cash expenditures for defense. Ad- ditional appropriations of several billions also are likely. Plant expan- sion and capital outlays will be on g large scale. Refinancing will in- crease. In the meantime, Great Britain's purchases in the United States, assuming that the war con- tinueS, will be greater than in l940s The diruption of industrial life in Great Britain means greater de- pendence on us, not only for anna ments but also for some necessities. Changes in the Johnson and Neu@ trality Acts are indicated for nez8 year.

If . new deal goes through, there will be presented to the world two more magnificent inconsistencies of war:
 l. The Dutch, technically at war with Germany, will be selling to Germany's ally, Japan, through subsidiaries of the British -Nether- lands controlled Shell Oil interests.
 2. The United States, which has 8 government embargo against the export of aviation gasoline to Japan, will be indirectly producing and distributing oil to the Japan csc, through subsidiaries of the American controlled Standard and Vacuum oil interests.
 Behind these paradoxes is series of intriguing but intricate romances which have characterized the world fight for oil ever since the first well was drilled. But it's all perfectly legal, and it works out like this:
 Existing trade treaties give Japan 100000 tons of oil annually, from Dutch wells. Four companies ham, de the deal. The producers are the Koloniale (Standard-Vacuum and Bataafshke (ShelD companies, oper- ating in Borneo, Sumatra and Java. The distributors are the Rising Sun Oil company (ShelD and the Stand d-Vacuum company of Japan.
 On form it looks as if Standard Vacuum were only half owned by Standard Oil interests, the rest be- longing to another concern-So- cony-y -yacuum But the latter is also all Stl adard Oil.
 Net result, as far as Japan's oil supply is concerned, is that Stand ards Dutch East Indies producing company sells to Standards Japan csc oil distributing company, which sells to Japan.
 Similarly, the other Dutch East Indies producer, BataafShke, is con- trolled by Dutch Shell and sells oil to the Rising Sun Petroleum Co.,, an importer and distributor in Japan of Shell oil products.
 The companies involved have practically acted under dlreSS. There was always the threat of in- vasion of the Dutch East Indies and seizure of the wells.
 From the Japanese standpoint good has come out of the evil of the American embargo. From Yokohama to California ports is about 4500 mikes. But it is only about 300 miles from Yokohama to Palembang in the Dutch Indies.

Showgirl BrutalIy
 Punished By Nazis
Mazda LOy, Hungarian Fugitive, Appearing at The Jacques, Reveals Brutality of Germans in Interview

six months ago. the Nazis were ship ping the country's rich agricultural produce to their soldiers-and the native Hungarians were living on rationed potatoes.
 The temperature was 50 degrees below zero, but the Hungarians had no coal, because all coal was appro- priated for Nazi military purposes
 we had only rotten, black pota- toes," said Mazda in an interview with a Democrat reporter back stage last evening at Jacques theater "Once week we had pork chop and one egg; and half-pound of butter for a person for a whole month.
 There were few newspapers, and those which were published were only two pages-the Nazis needed the wood pulp for their uses. There was no soap, and only half a pound of salt for family per month." It is heart-breaking for the Hun- garian people, said Mazda, to see their rich agricultural produce roll ing of to the Nazis in trains, while Hungary is so desperately short ot food.
 The Nazis do not bluntly grab the things they want from Hungary, Mazda said. Instead, they have a subtle method. They offer a large farmer or industrialist a ridiculously low price for his goods and then, if he doesn't accept the offer, bring legal pressure to bear; they suspend his license or bring some legal tech- nicality to bear to stop him from operating.
 Besides" said Mazda, "the Hun- garian government is dominated by the Nazis. The Nazis force the Hun garian government to requisition the things Germany needs. Hungary is such a weak state, because of the Versailles treaty, that Admiral Hor- thy, the regent, can do nothing"
 Nazi influence has also brought a good share of anti-Semitism to Hun gary, said Mazda. She herself en- dured some unpleasant persecution, which eventually forced her to flee from Hungary to Vienna and from there to Italy and to the United States. Only the fact that she had a British passport, through British father, saved her.
 In Vienna, she told the Democrat reporter, she was taken to a cellar by Nazi storm trooper, knocked down, beaten and kicked by him. Even in Italy, anti-Semetic persecu- ton made it difficult for her to move about, she said.
 Finally arriving in the United States, after her ship, the Manhat- tan, was stopped by a German sub marine and threatened with sinking, Mazda worked last summer at a show at the New York Worlds Fair amusement area.
 But would do anything, even scrub floors, to stay in this coun- try" she said. Mazda, a brunette, very easy on the eyes and with a million dollar personality, will never have to scrub floors, using her spe- cialty number last night at Jacques Theater as a criterion. Her act was greeted with consistent applause from a capacity audience who seemed to forget that there were other peo- pie in Red Hot and Blue," other than the glamorous Mazda Loy.

Clerk of Superior Court George H. Freeman today went to New Haven to draw a panel of 100 jurymen and women for the January term of criminal court.

Freeman deemed it necessary to have the larger number of juryment at hand. This precaution is necessary be- cause the defense and pr0secu- ton in the case are each allowed 25 challenges.
