By the Assoclated Press. The swiftest flow of Christmas spending in years is swirling in on the Nation’s merchants. A survey today showed that Christ- mas trade in many cities was at the highest pitch of 1929 or 1930, and ranged as high as 335 per cent above last year. Department stores and mail order houses bristled with bullish enthu- siasm, and predicted even sharper gains as the holiday approaches. In Chicago, in San Francisco and in Kansas City, the question, “How good is Christmas business?” brought the unanimous answer: “Best in years!” Employment Gains, And with the burst of trade came increased employment, all along the line, with 500 department and- gift store employes added recently in Kan- sas City. Washington, with its influx of New Deal workers, made claim to leading the Nation in improvement in Christ- mas sales over last year with a gen- eral 25 per cent gain over the same week a year ago. The number of Government workers here has in- creased from 64,000 to 92,000 in a year, In Dallas, Clifton Linz, president of the Retail Merchants' Association there, said ‘increased sales “thus far substantially better than the same period in 1933,” had virtually wiped out talk of hard times. In St. Louis, where business is 25 per cent ahead of last year, mer- chants reported that a striking fea- ture of the season is the appeal bet- ter quality goods has made to the cus- tomer, San Francisco, where the gain has already been from 10 to 20 per cent, looked for a “buying boom” before Christmas which would shatter rec- ords of several years. Other Gains Reported. ‘The gains reported by stores in other cities over last year were: Pittsburgh, 3313 per cent; Houston, Tex., 5 per cent; Austin, Tex., 20 per cent; Oklahoma City, 10 per cent; Detroit, 12 to 15 per cent, and Mil- waukee, 20 per cent. Salt Lake City department store managers reported Christmas business was 25 to 40 per cent better than last year, and that buying began 10 days sooner than in 1933. One executive predicted this sea- son's total would top the previous peak, that of 1931. Estimates of the gain this year over 1933 in Minneapolis ranged from 10 to 25 per cent with all executives report- ing their stores crowded with shoppers. The same story was told by In- dianapolis store managers wiht a re- port that “luxury lines and toys are selling more readily” than last year. Many stores in Portland, Me., were caught short of help in the unexpected increase in Christmas business, with estimates of the first week's buying set as high as 30 per cent more than last year. There, too, store operators re- ported the demand was for better grade goods than last year. Advertising Budgets Up. F. D. Corley, vice president of Mar- shall Pleld & Co., Chicago, said it was most gratitying to note people buying the more expensive Christmas gifts. “Good merchandise is in de- mand,” Corley said. “Our business is considerably ahead of last year—as a matter of fact it is better than it has been for quite a few years, and it promises to continue right through the season. We are spending consid- erable money in newspaper advertis- ing.” A new sales tax of 2 per cent, effec- tive today, gave added meaning to the old slogan, “Do your Christmas shop- ping early” in New York. With thou- sands of customers swarming through their stores, merchants agreed that Saturday was the biggest dollar vol- ume day this year. They expressed divided opinions, however, as to whether it was because of the im- pending sales tax, the bright, crisp weather, or an increase in purchasing power. Thomas Lewis, secretary-treasurer of Frederick & Nelson's Store, Seattle, THE EVENING STAR, - WASHINGTON, Indicted LONG FOLLOWERS ACCUSED, OF TAX EVASION. State Senator Jules Pisher (up- per) and State Representative Jo- seph Fisher of Jefferson Parish, La., two of the Huey Long adminis- tration leaders who were indicted by a Federal grand jury in New Or- leans on charges of attempting to evade income tax payments. The Government alleges the former's net community income for 1930-32, inclusive, was $326,793.32 and he paid $40.18 in taxes. The latter is charged with having attempted to evade payment of $5,727.80 for the years 1929-32, inclusive. —A. P. Photos. said: “Our trade volume this week is much more than 20 per cent above the same week a year ago. Our No- vember business was away ahead of November, 1933.” Denis Donohue, manager of the San Francisco Retail Dry Goods Asso- ciation, observed, “If the pace since Thanksgiving keeps up until Christ- mas, sales generally will be 20 per cent over last year here.” Dain Sturges, secretary of the Downtown Business Men’s Associa- tion, Los ‘- Angeles, said Christmas shopping was better than last year, despite an unfavorable handicap due to the street car strike. Two leading department stores in Phoenix reported a 20 per cent in- crease in Christmas sales and a third said business was 15 per cent better. A “MERRY CHRISTMAS” Operation Permits Girl to Talk for First Time. PITTSBURGH () —For the first time in her life, 11-year-old Virginia Caquatto will be able to cry “Merry Christmas” this year. Virginia has been unable to eat solid foods or speak aloud since baby- hood. The physician who operated on her for lockjaw said she may now do justice to food and words. His prescription for Virginia is: “Smile, and smile & lot. It will help your jaw muscles.” . Boston Police Pocketless.

NEW YORK, December 10.—In the presence of “glder statesmen” of the faith who came here from Utah, the Mormons yesterday established the “New York Stake of Zion"—the 110th local unit of their church. Speakers at an organization meeting recalled it was in this State their church was founded. It was also this State that called them “heretics” and through persecution started them on their way Westward. “The growth of th,e Latter Day Saints in proportion to their numbers is as large as any church I know,” declared Heber J. Grant, president of the church. “And I rejoice in the remarkable change of feeling of the people of the world regarding the Latter Day Saints.” « Stake First in East. The New York stake, with about 2,000 members. was until now a mis- sionary district and is the first to be set up eéast of Colorado. The word stake comes from the Book of Isaiah in the Bible, where the prophet ad- “Spare vises his followers, not, RESTORE NATURE'S GIFT TO YOUR SCALP END DANDRUFF " D. 0, MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1834 lengthen they cords and strengthen stakes,” the whole re- ferring to the tenths of the desert. former American to Mexico and first counselor of the church, and Sylvester Q.

Clark told the listeners their perils in New York, “among those who do not believe as we believe, were worse than those of the church fathers in their pioneer days in the ‘West. Pred G.
