- TRADEOF WORLD *YETIN DOLDRUNS Nations Whose Resistance to ~ Slump Held Until Last Autumn Slipping. By the Associated Press. “NEW YORK, December® 20.—The National Industrial Conference Board's semi-annual survey of world economic conditions, made public today, notes no definite signs of business recovery in -countries which have been in the doldrums for several years. It also says that commercial and industrial activity in nations which had resisted de, sion with fair suc- cess prior to 1930 began to slacken in the early Autumn of this year. Little Encouragement Seen. *“The conference board finds,” says & svnopsis of the report, “that over- |of production, combined in some instances with arbitrary price fixing. burdensome taxation, unwise stimulation of eco- nomic activity by the governments leading to excessive public indebted- ness and impairment of public credit, political uncertainties and revolutions all have contributed to a dislocation of the normal conduct of -business throughout the world. “While the great decline in prices of agricultural products and raw ma- terials has made it possible for the Carillon Recital To Ring Christmas From High Tower 65-Bell Set Was Rockefel- ler, jr., Gift in Memory of His Mother. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, December 20.—New York will ring in the merry Christmas- tide with the largest set of bells in the world. The Riverside Church announc- ed today that it will give the initial carillon recital from the Laura Spel- man Rockefeller Memorial Tower at 4 o'clock next Wednesday. The church tower, which contains the largest carillon in the world—where there are 65 bells in the set—was the gift of John D. Rockefeller, jr., in mem- ory of his mother. The tower rises to a height of 392 feet, equivalent to 28 tories, at One Hurdred and Twenty- ond street and Riverside drive. One the bells in the earillon weighs more than 20 tons and sounds:a note lower than that of any other bell in the | world. Kamiel Lefevere will give the initial carillon recital and will play again on Christmas day and at an early hour on New Year eve. (Copyright, 1980.) PROMOTING EDUCATION Secretary Wilbur Among Those THE SUNDAY STAR, USE EXTRA PLANES INCHRISTMAS RUSH Lines in and Out of Capital Add Eight Ships to Trans- port Students. College and university students in the vicinity of the National Capital are tak- ing to llrEllne transportation in such numbers that eight extra air transport lanes had to be added the already full schedules of transport lines flying out of the Capital yesterday to accom- modate- the overflow. Reservations for every day up to Christmas are being received in such numbers that new passenger flying rec- ords are indicated on all lines. Forty-eight West Point cadets from the Military Academy are expected to arrive in the National Capital tomorrow afternoon in five tri-motored transport planes of the New York, Philadelphia and Washington Airways Corporation, probably flying in formation. It is said to be the largest single group of air passengers ever booked in regular trans- port service and, if the formation is flown, it will be the first time on record here that it has been necessary to fly a group of transport planes in this manner. Three extra tri-motored transport planes of the same line went from this city to Baltimore yesterday to pick up a party of 28 midshipmen from the Naval Academy, booked transportation to New York. Three extra sections were put on Fri- day to sccommodate students of the Bliss_Electrical School home-bound to the Northern States for the holidays and an extra section is to go on today for 10 more of the Bliss students. Two extra planes had to be put on the New York run out of Washing- ton-Hoover yesterday morning to handle the normal traffic. Friday a total of 109 passengers were flown out of Wasl alone by this line, a number thought to constitute a new record. - Reservations for today and tomor- row are filling up rapidly as Govern- ment employes and others begin Christmas leave. Forty-three pas- sengers already have been booked over this line for Tuesday and 39 for Chris- mas eve, out of the District of Co- lumbia alone. Yesterday an extra tri-motored trans- port plane and a single motored cabin plane were added to the Pennsylvania Airline schedule between the National Capital and _Pittsburgh, largely be- cause of the booking of a party of 17 midshipmen from Washington-Hoover Airport to Pittsburgh. 30 Planes Daily. Dixie Flying Service, operating be- tween the National Capital and Greens- boro, N. C., was forced to put on two “shuttle planes” between Charlottes- ville, Va., and the National Capital yesterday to accommodate home-going University of Virginia students. Eastern Air Transport, operators of the coastal airmail line, who recently inauguarted New Yol tlanta pas- senger service, carried a shipload of Willlam and Mary students through the Capital yesterday afternoon. The transport lines have been asked charter planes for special trips, but ve had to refuse because of the pressure of normal business, now re- WASHINGTON, D.

Hospital to classes not, covered by the Measure to Meet Approved Methods of Incarcerating and Treating Patients. A bill to liberalize the lunacy code of the District to accord with modern and approved methods of incarcerating, treating and discharging mental pa- tients was submitted to Chairman Capper of the Senate District Commit- tee yesterday by Secretary of the In-|" terior Wilbur. ‘The Secretary of the Interior told Senator Capper the bill was drawn after conferences between resentatives of St. Elizabeth's Hospital and the cor- poration counsel of the District. Offi- clals .of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital sum- marized the effects of the measure as follows: . . “It would enlarge and broaden the original section (of the District code), original act: permit of the admission of patients without jury trial, unless pa- tients themselves, relatives or. friends request it; recognize emergency and exigency commitments; permit volun- tary treatment in St. Elizabeth's Hos- under freatment at the hospital; point out a way in which a patient who con- siders that he has recovered and the hospital is not ready to discharge him, may have a hearing in court without SuUINg QUL & writ of habeas corpus; and authorize endowments in the nature of gifts from individuals, organizations and corporations.” — PARACHUTE MARK SET O, Calif.,.
