Yu|e CIemency Lasts Only
One Day, Imbiber Finds

The day after Christmas prob
ably has brought to Frazier Lucas.
Al, colored, of the TOO block of M
street NV, the realization that
Christmas comes but once a year
On Christmas Day Lucas was
one of several defendants charged
with drunkenness for whom Mu-
nicipal Court Judge John P. Nc
Mahon suspended sentence, releas-
ing them to spend the holiday at
home with their families.
Yesterday Lucas appeared before
the same judge-on the same
charge. The sentence, however, was
not the same. Lucas was COM
united to Jail for IS days when he
failed to pay a SIS fine.
That District police also are get
ting back to routine schedule was
indicated by the courts daily lock-
up list. The Is names on the list
for yesterday, although consider
ably less than usual, was about
twice the number on the Christ
mas Day list.

Larry keI|y's Wife q
Gets $500 Judgment

A default Judgment for $4,000
plus interest was entered yesterday
afternoon in District Court in favor
Of Mrs. Dorothy Kelly of Berwyn,
Nd, against John Longo, who failed
to defend suit for that sum
brought by Mrs. Kelly last July.
The $1,000 was claimed by Mrs.
Kelly as executrix of the estate of
her husband, Larry Kelly, indicted
former union official, for money al
legedly due on promissory notes
made to him by Mr.. Longo.
Mr.. Kelly's reported death in the
maritime service in June, 1914. has
been under question by the United
States attorneys Office. He former
ly was treasurer of the Building
Committee Of Local No. IA of the
Building Laborers and Hold Carriers
Union. He was named in indict-
ments in March, 1914, which
charged him and others with con-
spiracy to embezzle union funds, to
receive stolen property and to vio-
late so-called liquor floor tax laws.
Mr.. Kelly also was charged with
actual violations as well as con-
spiracy.
Mr.. Longo is said to be a former
partner OF Mr.. Kelly's in the opera
ton OF the Ell Patio Restaurant. He
was indicted with Mr.. Kelly on a
charge OF violating liquor floor tax
laws.
Mrs. Kelly brought suit on the
notes as executrix and also as at
torney In fact" for her husband. In
the latter capacity, it was stated by
her attorney, Oscar J. See, she could
proceed legally for her husband,
even though he might still be alive.
Trial of the indicted men is still

BY RICHARD KASICHKE,
Associated Press Foreign Correspondent

BERLIN, Dec. 27.-A planned
economy for industry and bust
ness and widespread revision of
land ownership are the basis of
the Soviet program in Russian
occupied Germany.
German government leaders say
the program is progressing salts
factorily, despite initial hardships
The reaction of the German little
man ranges from courageous opti-
mism among the new farmers to
helpless doubt in Dresden and COM
plants in the streets of Halle and
Leipzig.
The program of Sovietization is
being carried out with veteran
Communists in key posts. Industry,
farming and mining are largely I'M
der control Of German provincial
governments, aided and supported
by the Russian military government.
The Soviet-sponsored program
was observed at work in an area
which largely escaped the terrific
bomb damage inflicted on Western
Germany. 1t is a region which is
rich agriculturally, but which Is
faced with tremendous refugee
problem.
People in the province OF Sax
ony, which first was occupied by
Americans, complained chiefly of
the shortages of food and clothing
and of the Russian reparations COL
lections which they called plum
dering"
Farther south, in the state of
Saxony, and in its capital, Dresden,
where Americans have never been,
the people acknowledged that life
was hard, but added: We'll, that's
to be expected. We lost the war"
Industry in Saxony and through
out the Russian zone has been
geared to strict planned economy,
according to production plans
drafted by the state governments
at Marshal Georgi K. zhukov's
direction.
Under this scheme the govern
ments allocate available raw mate
rails, and direct where the manu-
facturers should deliver finished
products, and at what prices.
Similar strict control is enforced
on wholesalers and retailers, on all
except a few unrationed consumer
goods.
Mines and factories are run by
boards of directors and workers
council representatives.
Unionization 100 Per Cent.
In factories and mines, unioniza-
ton is 100 per cent. The general
plan calls for one big vertical union,
with multiple divisions-even one
for public administrators, to which
the provincial presidents belong.
In agrarian reform, the German
governments, with approval of So
Wet authorities, split up 1000 Junker
estates which contained more than
PAT acres each, among l,155 new
holders throughout the zone I
} Along with the land there was di-
vision Of the livestock and tools.
Each new holder got from u to 10
