BY FRED TAYLOR Every phase of Gov -Elect Frank M. Dixon's far-reaching economy and government reorganization program from schools, finance and taxation down to the smallest departmental function had been outlined in detail today to Alabama newspaper executives, editors and reporters. The newspaper men sat down with the governor-elect at a roundtable conference at Tutwiler Hotel, just as did members of the incom- Kll I able developments for 1939: Industrial production averaging higher than 1938. lower than '37: national income above '37; wholesale prices slowly advancing, but commodity prices not changing greatly; freight loadings up 10-20 per cent from '38.
iron, steel, motors output up 30-50 per cent, most new construction since 1930; department store sales nearer 37 than '38; merchandise imports greater than exports; stocks higher than '38. lower than '36; new high records in power, oil refining, tobacco products and average hourly factory wages. Col. Ayres prepared his predictions for a Cleveland Chamber of Commerce meeting. The advance in business activity ean be relied upon to continue as long as the outflow of public spending remains undiminished, but we know such spending cannot go on indefinitely." he said That fact raises serious questions about the probable course of business in the third and fourth quarters.
"It is as futile for us to believe that wo can spend ourselves rich as for us to suppose that a man can drink himself sober. The fatal weakness of such recovery is that everyone fears it may be only temporary. Merchants enlarge their stocks but not their stores. Everybody tries to play safe. The Cleveland Trust Company vice president observed business undertakings are about 40 per cent as attractive as they were in the two preceding decades For nearly a decade the great majority of corporations have been losing money instead of making it.

MAN TRAIL PREY INTO PH TUCSON. Ariz. iJPi Leon Trotsky.
Russian revolutionary now exiled in Mexico, predicts the United States will have a "terrible revolution. that the "democracy of capitalism is finished." The dire prediction of the former Soviet war machine chief was revealed here in an interview released by William R. Mathews, publisher of The Arizona Daily Star of Toe-son. who met Trotsky his guarded villa near Mexico City. The noted exile said the New Deal was not revolutionary but "a program of mere palliatives seeking to cure a badly diseased body.
Capitalism." he was quoted as saying, "has reached its zenith in America and has exhausted itself. It is now living on its savings, consuming its own fat. Look at your unemployed. No form of society can continue long that permits such conditions to exist. The course his predicted evolution would take, Trotsky said, would "depend much on what Mr.

BY BOB KINCEY Up again to 82 per cent goes the Birmingham district's steelmaking rate with relighting of the sixth open hearth furnace today by Republic Steel Corporation. In an official statement, E. I.
Evans Republic's Gulfsteel superintendent, said the new furnace was placed in production to meet increasing demand for steel ingots occasioned by steady output of finished steel products. With the sixth Republic furnace in production, the Birmingham industrial district has a total of 18 open hearths on the active list, including the twelfth T. C. I. furnace, lighted this week.
While there has been no official indication thus far, production is expected to experience the minimum recession during ihe holiday period, less, in fact, than usual, with the result that operations in blast and open hearth furnaces will continue on practically a full schedule unless it is possible to get in a holiday on Monday. Confirmation of pig iron prices for first quarter delivery, announced today in Eastern circles, is expected to be followed by identical action here, although neither of the merchant melters here have had anything to say on that subject. Pipe plants, fabricators and miscellaneous industries of the district are expected to observe Monday as a holiday thus slowing down industrial operations for the district as a whole.

NEW FIGHT LOOMS CITY EYES NEW PENSION SETUP 10 BE ARRESTED New York Authority Offers Commission His Ideas CHANGES IN BUS LINES CONSIDERED Plan Would Ease Congestion, Solve Racial Complaints Measure Will Be Introduced I Again, Van Nuys Says: Dixie Maps Battle By The Associated Press Europe today was poised at a new crossroads as the possibility increased that further appeasem*nt of Adolf Hitler was in store. While Germany quietly pondered its new territorial desire Mcmel another whirlwind appeasem*nt campaign to settle the continent's outstanding differences took shape, with British Prime Minister Chamberlain in a key role. Chamberlain was to speak late in the day before the Foreign Press Association, and further delineation of British foreign policy was expected. Observers awaited enlargement upon the governments attitude toward Memel and a discussion of British position toward military assistance for France, political-economic agreement with Germany and political understanding with Italy.
In the House of Commons yesterday. the premier spoke of French-British concern over the prospect of German gestures toward Memel. former Germany territory, but no political informant thought it likely action now will go beyond the concern stage. Uneasiness, however, was displayed over Chamberlains reference to military assistance for Fiance, and there were many who urged clarification of his assertion Britain had no pact or treaty specifically requiring her to aid France against Italy. The assertion answered questions relating to the Italian propaganda campaign for French territory.
Chamberlain previously had said without qualification that Britain would aid France against unprovoked aggression. Germany meanwhile further increased hardships of the Jews within her boundaries. The ministry of economics today issued a decree putting new obstacles in the way of Jews removing their property from Germany. The decree, declared to be necessary to prevent the flight of capital, forbids German or stateless Jews leaving Germany after Jan. 1 from taking any objects except those necessary for strictly personal use.
The decree also restricts the right of non-Jewish Germans and even foreign residents in Germany to remove property from the Reich. The new restriction was announced as German Jews hurriedly sought cash to meet the first of four installments of the 1.000.000.000 mark fine i $400,000,000 which they must pay Thursday as punshiment for the killing of Ernst Vom Rath, German diplomat in Paris, by a young Jew. Under todays decree a German Jew for example, when going to England for a visit may not take a dolJ for his niece tn London. Should he be caught in such an attempt he would be liable to punishment in addition to confiscation of the doll. Moreover, all Germans.
Jews and non-Jews, who are in the process of emigrating must obtain special permission to take with them anything but strictly personal objects. They may not take even household goods without a permit. In Kaunas.

I O'Hara obviously was not a man to be involved in criminal affa.rs. Investigation soon convinced detectives it was a case of mistaken identity, the killers pouring their hasty fusillade into O'Hara body in he belief he was someone else.
Back-tracking over the gangland error, police determined the slayers' intended victim probably was Kane, an ex-convict who had been released from pn-on only six hours before the shooting. Kane had stopped at a Manhattan tavern for a round of drinks with old cronies before going to his mother's home, in the same block of flats where O'Hara resided with his sister and his widowed mother.

Buck's recommendations were contained in a written report, compiled after a survey begun several weeks ago. Birmingham's present policemen and firemen's pension systems art declared to be hopelessly insolvent and the pension system for other city employes, while almost on a sound actuarial basi- is -aid to be a little short of solvent. City Comptroller Armstrong has informed the commission several times that the policemen's and firemen's systems arc insolvent in amounts of not less than $2,000,000 over a period of years, if figured on the basis life insurance companies employ in setting up then reserves. General city employes contribute 6 per cent of their salaries to their pension and retirement fund Policemen contribute 1 per cent of their salaries and firemen 2 per cent to their pension fund Retirement pay for policemen and firemen is much more liberal than in the general city employe group, it was pointed out.
It also has been pointed out that the city pays the entire premium on policies of $1,000 each on the life oi each policeman and fireman. Changes in the South Fifteenth Street bus line and the Avenue bus line to relieve congestion and solve complaints of the mingling of races on the Avenue buses are being considered. This was announced today by Commission President Jones and J. Pcvear, Birmingham Electric Company president, after protest had been made at commission meeting by three residents served by the South Fifteenth Street line. Clement Barnes, R.
E. Smothers and R. H. Moncrief told the commission the Fifteenth Street buses were overcrowded during the morning and night rush hours. They said the white passengers filled the buses by the time they reach Tenth Avenue and before Negro passen- gers start to get on.
The men ui god that effective segregation measures be taken. Commission President said he had taken the matter up with the electric company several times and would take it up again. Immediately after the meeting the commission president called Pcvear, who said it had been suggested that South Fifteenth Street buses be operated as express buses between the center of the city and Tenth Avenue, South. To care for the close-in traffic, he said it had been suggested that the Avenue buses, which now stop at Twelfth Street, be brought into the center of the city, furnishing service along Sixth Avenue, South, and to the area now served by the Fifteenth Street buses north of Tenth Avenue, South. Jones and Pcvear agreed the plan would be studied further and might be put into effect.

As announced. Dixon's revamped i and streamlined executive depart- ment would consist of Departments of Finance. Taxation. Highways. Conservation.

His proposed constitutional amend- ments, which would be submitted at an extraordinary legislative session to be called during a recess of the regular session, include a three-man board pardon and parole system, legislative reapportionment, two-year poll tax law. optional light of counties to install voting machines and biennial legislative sessions limited to 60 calendar days, with legislators paid $10 instead of $6 a day.

He said our main school problem is large population and low per capita wealth, but added that this state is making the greatest effort of any state in behalf of education. The large loss in ad valorem assessments in various counties and cities was cited as largely to blame for the plight of the schools.
He pointed out he state is paying 53 per cent of the total school costs, whereas it formerly paid much less. Turn to Page 2, Column 4 WASHINGTON iPj Prospects for another Senate battle over an anti-lynching bill developed today with an announcement by Senator Van Nuys Ind i that the controversial measure would be revived. Van Nuys said he would confer soon with Senator Wagner N. L.i. co-author of last session's bill, which was shelved after a Southern filibuster.
There were indications that the Southern bioc would filibuster any motion to bring tip the bill for consideration again. Senator Connally Tex.) predicted recently that it never would be brought to a vote. Van Nuys said there was little likelihood of change in the bill. As offered before, it would have made counties liable for damages to the kin of lynching victims. "I don't suppose that we will be able to get the Senate to consider the bill for some time," Van Nuys said, but I am confident that it will be passed eventually." Southerners contended the bill provided an unconstitutional in- vasion of state's rights.
They said Ihe decreasing number of lynching? made federal legislation unnecessary. Van Nuys statement came as Senator Barkley Kv.l, the majority leader, said he soon would discuss the legislative program with President Roosevelt. The Kentuckian called at Hie White House today, but said it was just to say hello, and would return later in the week. No tangible administration proposals have vet been advanced, Barkley said, adding that this will necessitate much "spade work" by congressional committees.
