Preliminary reports of pre-Chrlst-mas retail sales indicated that more Americans found full stockings on the holiday morning than In any year since 1830. Police records re flected a day of extremely few acci dents and temperate conviviality. Most of the country, enjoyed the snow and nippy temperatures that make the Ideal Yule. Business leaders and the man In the street agreed that it was the best Christmas of the post-prosper ity era and may herald, in its cir culation of an estimated $4,500,000, 000, a definite turn of the corner economists have hunted for five years. Reports gathered by the national retail dry goods association and fed eral reserve banks from all parts of ine country indicated retailers sold 10, per cent more goods this year than last, nearly 20 per cent more than two years ago, and employed thousands of persons who last Christmas were dependent on charity. Government funds again cared for tens of thousands of homeless men and women, but only charity saved Santa Claus from the stigma of neglect in thousands of homes where children awaited him. Federal government figures showed that the number of jobless was low er. The lines of men seeking Christ mas dinner in front of municipal shelters were shorter.

Otis of the federal court who declared the Wagner la bor act unconstitutional in a deci sion here last week, today was threatened with death. It is the second time in four months that Judge Otis has been threatened. Today's threat was by letter from Chicago. There was no handwriting in the letter which contained a clipping from a Chicago newspaper with the story of Judge Otis' deci sion. The clipping reviewed the de cision and carried a picture of the judge. Pasted on the clipping were print ed words cut out of another part of the paper which read, "Your last Christmas." Below that was a news paper photograph of an automatic pistol pasted In such a manner that the barrel of the gun was pointed rowaras uuage utis picture. The letter was addressed with pencil and had been printed. It had oeen handled so many times that It was virtually impossible to secure fingerprints.
