War Tops List

in the minds of Americans at year’s end is the outbreak of war last September between England and France on one side - &and Germany on the other. Nearly twice as many persons mentioned the Anglo-French declaration of war . as named any other single event. Second was the action taken by

~ Congress and the President to meet]

the war crisis—the special session of Congress which met in SeptemLb __ ber to debate the problems of _ American neutrality and which: made it possible for England: and France to buy airplanes and munitions in the U. S. The bombing of Munich's Buergerbraeu Hall just 11 minutes after the departure of ‘Chancellor Hitler, and the dramatic story of how three light British cruisers hounded the German pocket battleship Graf Spee into the harbor of Montevideo where it was later scuttled and sent down in flames by the crew, ranked third and fourth respectively in the survey. : , Other leading events of the past in the order of their mention ere: 5—The German “blitzkrieg” . against Poland and the rapid conquest and partition of that country ~ early in October. 6—The visit of King George and Queen Elizabeth to the American continent. - T—Soviet Russia’s invasion of Finland.

8—Germany’s occupation of Bo‘hemia and Moravia in March, in contravention of the Munich Agreement. 9—President Roosevelt's procla‘mation changing the date of ‘Thanksgiving from its accustomed spot at the end of the November - calendar. '10—The Russo-German treaty friendship. Little Difference in Judgment It is interesting to note that with the exception of the President's iving proclamation all of - the public's choices were named by ‘one _or more of the press associa“tions. Except for a few events such as the sinking of the Squalus off the New England Coast, which aroused a deeper interest in New England elsewhere, the survey reveals I difference in the judgments of the various sections of the country. Men and women were in close agreement on the importance of the great events of 1939, with the ex-

teption of the visit of Britain’s King and Queen. With women this event

== was ranked fourth while men placed

it 11th. = Others Near Top . Many events of the year doubtJess would have won prominent places in the public's ranking except for the outbrea’rs of war, for the year was unusually crowded with big news stories. Some of these stories, ranking just below the first ten are: : The defeat of the Eggs” pension plan in California; the hearings of the Dies Committee; e mystery as to whether Presioll Roosevelt will run for a third “term; the capture of the World

‘“Ham-ahd-|

Fight ‘Pork Barrel’ Cuts Meanwhile, it was understood that Western Senators are girding for a contest against sharp cuts reportedly made by President Roosevelt in the 1940-41 budgetary appropriations for so-called “pork barrel” projects. A cut of nearly $100,000,000 in the funds for rivers and harbors was reported by some Western legislators. They heard that Mr. Roosevelt planned to slice the fund from $115,000,000 to $17,000,000. Flood control funds also were reported for reduction. Although such cuts usually draw pore from Congressmen, Mr. Martin was confident that the Chief Execu- ? was will receive Congressional support for his economy move. “He can have any economy he wants if he is willing to insist on it,” Rep. Martin said. Speaker William B. Bankhead (D. Ala.) told reporters that Congress likely would postpone any moneyraising action that might be taken until after the March tax collections. Farm Payments a Puzzle Congress, despite repeated requests by ‘the Administration that the funds be matched by new revenue, appropriated $250,000,000 out of the Federal Treasury last year for parity payments to farmers. Mr. Roosevelt did not include funds for payments in his new budget and the problem of financing the aid again confronts Congress. Mr. Bankhead indicated that the farm group held out hope that agricultural prices would rise to levels obviating the necessity for the par-| ity payments, designed to stabilize farm income at levels of more prosperous years. :

This one will be a close one, but I'll have to go along with Clemson because of Banks McFadden, a great back, and because Bob Neyland. Tennessee coach, told me that the Clemson team of last year (and this one is practically the same unit) was the strongest club the Volunteers played in 1938. So there you have the makings of a fine four-team-parlay—Ten-nessee, Georgia Tech, Tulane, and Clemson. The price on such a parlay should be considerable, and I have so much faith in it that I am:going out right now and see if I can find a bookie who will handle my bet of exactly one farthing.

Control Authority, there was no ban on the sale of liquor by hotels and bars holding special licenses, although, paradoxically, other forms of merriment were ordered suspended at 5 a. m. New Yeork’s millions cast off all inhibitions and by midnight had filled almost every night spot in the city, had jammed famed Times Square, and were crowding railway and subway stations, and milling about the streets.

There were more horns and noise-

Night spot operators believed their gross returns from the night's festivities would approximate $20,000,000, or about $5,000,000 more than the best of recent years. Thousands of visitors were in New York for the holiday, jamming all transportation facilities. The story, ranging from white tie and tails to just unrestrained fun in any kind of clothes, was the same from Coast to Coast. Southern California spent its gayest year end in a decade. Los Angeles merchants reported that there was more champagne consumed than in any similar celebration of the last 10 years. At Pike's Peak, the Ad-A-Man Club held its annual celebration— calling it the highest party in the land—and shot off fireworks 15,000 feet above sea level. :

It surpassed by $2;785,877 the 1938 valuation of $10,824,825, the previous thigh since 1929, Residential Building Up

New residential construction valuations in 1939 totaled $5,698,863. This is $1,369,332 below the 1929 residential peak - but. exceeds residence construction of $1,389,505. New building also was reflected in the number of water accounts. he monthly average for 11 “the. 1008 1939 was 77,794 against the 1938 average of 76.349. Postal receipts, like all the postoffice barometers, were well ahead, of 1938. For 11 months of 1939 re- | ceipts totaled $4,075,548, which was| $124,852 ahead of the previous year’s total for 11 months. Indianapolis bank activities, re= flected in bank clearings and bank debits, were well ahead of 1938. Clearings for 11 months of 1939

337,918 ahead of 1938 through Nov.

totaled $1,155,808,000 against a figure of $1,979,731,000 during all but the last month of 1938.

Manufacturing Sets Pace __

Manufacturing set the pace for business in a olga 1939. Both employment and payrolls were at the highest levels since late 1937, according to figures of the Indiana Unemployment Compensation Division. Number of persons employed ‘was far ahead of 1938 levels) in nearly all sections of the state as were payrolls in every lecality. Reports compiled last week show thta factory payrolls were about 30 per cent higher than at the same time in 1938 and factory employment about 18 per cent higher. As the year closed, factory employment registered four consecutive monthly gains.

Job Benefits Drop

Because of a steady increase in the number of jobs available, the Uniemployment Division shifted a considerable part of its activity from benefit payments to filling jobs. The numbers of applicants placed in private employment set new records for each month of 1939. The total number of private placements hit a new record at approximately. 83,000, a 56 per cent gain over the nearly 53,000 figure of 1938. Whereas benefit payments totaled $16,300,000 or more than two mil- | 2 lion dollars a month for the eight months the profram was 'in operation in 1938, the amount claimed in 1939 dropped to about $10,300,000, an average of about $860,000 for each of the 12 months. "Gross Tax Receipts Rise Since the Gross Income Tax is based on the volume of gross receipts, the tax collections are regarded as an accurafe business barometer, The recovery trend from 1933 to 1037 was reflected in, steady increasing receipts. The general upswing during 1939 after the setback of 1938 brings the year’s estimate to just under the all-time high of $22,958,638 set in 1937, Receipts during the third quarter of 1939 showed 14 counties with the highest tax payments in their histories. These counties represented both - agricultural and industrial areas Actual collections during the first part of 1939 . started wly with $798,312.91 for the period covering the last quarter of 1938. This payment was 6.72 per cent lower than the previous year. . However, .the collection of $4,052,209.92 during the second quarter was a 6.99 per cent gain nd the third quarter collection of $4,871,74249 spurted 19 pet cent ahead of the same period in 1938.

Distribution Record Too

Indications are that revenues for 1939 are running about one and one-half million dollars. ahead of 1938's figure of $19,880,102.95. Distribution of gross income tax

high in 1939. The distribution of $700 to each teaching unit amounted to $13,940,850. Supping the State's share of the of caring for needy aged, needy blind and dependent chilren under the public welfare programs was budgeted at $9,485,905.80. Eight of the 10 grouped collections of the Infernal Revenue Department for the 11 raonths of 1939 were ahead of the figures for the same period the previous year. Gross collections for 1939 totaled | $102,421,059 compared with $98,802, 415 in 1938.

NEW SHOCKS ADD TO

QUAKE SUFFERING

ISTANBUL, Jan. 1 (U. P). — New earthquake shocks in Anatolia, devastated by successive temblors last week, today increased the sufferings of thousands of homeless and added to the burden of relief workers. Messages from the Tokat area of Anatolia said the new quakes toppled buildings and buried refugees. Heavy snows caused great hardships but despite raging sterms, relief] crews kept the railroad open to Anatolia. The minsiters of health and interior, Dr. Hulusi Alatas and Faik Oztrak, arrived at Erzincan, center of the earthquake

Zone, to direct relief operations. All

of eastern Anatolia was under a

blanket of snow. Officials here said that prelimi= nary surveys of the devastated area showed that in addition to the vast destruction at Erzincan, 550 villages, with normal populations total

135,000, had beerr damaged. Erzin-

can itself was a city of ruins and <|

official estimates of the loss of life were being compiled slowly. All Turkey was in mourning and traditionally gay new year celebras. tions were-canceled. With . restoration of communica= tions, dispatches were arriving to tell in detail of the destruction. At, Kuyuluhisar in Sivas Province the governor, who assumed office only
