LONDON, January 9.—Mural paint- ings, believed the largest produced in several centurles, have reached their final stage in the studio here of Dean Cornwell, American artist. But he still has a year's work ahead of him, although he and his assistants have been at the task since 1927. The huge pictures are destined to be bung in the Los Angeles Public Library. They depict the colorful history of Eouthern California from the time of discovery, through the era of Spanish missions, the days of “forty-niners” and finally the beginnings of the modern city. The 250 figures in the series, each twice its natural height and all drawn to scale, have been finished. Awaits Finishing Work. The task now is to transfer these to the big canvases that are to adorn the walls of the library. The commission must be finished by February, 1932. ‘I must have sketched at least a thousand poses before I found the right ones to make the entire set move smoothly,” said Cornwell. “All details had to be co-ordinated so the finished work would be decorative, instead of merely illustrative.” The set consists of 12 panels. The « large ones, each 40 feet square, show figures twice their natural height, the first depicting the era of discovery in the sixteenth century. V5-Lb.

GAINS IN ITALY Anti-Fascist Activities Felt as Economic Depression Troubles Land of II Duce. ROME (#)—The Fascist regime, like many another national administration, is feeling the reactions of the business depression, with accompanying unem- { ployment and political unrest. There have been a number of recent instances of Communist and anti-Fas- cist activity. Attempts of the govern- ment to improve economic conditions by scal'ng down costs have not stifled all the undercover mumblings. Uncmployment, government figures show, is on the increase. Many key in- dustries are operating on part time; others have announced Winter shut- downs. To combat this situation, Mussolini’s government started a rigorous campaign for wage and price reductions. It set the example by reducing the salaries of government employes an average of 121 per _cent. The pay cuts have spread through all phases of Italian industry. But rents and prices of manufactured articles have followed the downward trend somewhat | slowly. The average reduction in them has been about 10 per cent. Business interests are reaching out for markets in other countries and are getting every possible aid from the gov- ernment. The outstanding accomplish- ment in this respect was the commercial accord with Russia, by which the Soviets agreed to buy $10,000,000 worth of Ital- 1an goods within the year ending June 80, 1931, While it was not so nominated in the bond, there has been a natural recipro- cal purchase of coal, oil, timber and | ores from Russia, and industrialists see | in this trade a source of low-cost raw | material that will help Italy to get in- creasingly larger slices of foreign markets. | The line of this vision takes in South America, and it also sees opportunities in the Balkans and Near East. | CONVICTED MURDERER RELIEVED TO GET LIFE D.
