Falls Off Wholesale Price Changes Nominal WASHINGTON. Jan. 10. (AP) Current weekly statist tea were lnter w preted by the department of com ' mere today to show that a decline In production which began last July has terminated and there haa been im provement in eome lines. The survey of current business said that December had brought a sharp rise In steel production contrary to the usual seasonal trend. Automobile output, however, has been retarded , by delays In the production of new models. j -The survey reported, that the de- j cllne In employment In manufacture lng Industries In November was great- er than seasonal, the adjusted index declining 2 per cent. Payrolls dropped about 6 per cent, or nearly twice the average decline from October to No vember for the past ten years. Changes In the general level of wholesale prices have been slight re cently, the survey said. A fractional decline of one tenth of a point was recorded In November, the first month since February In which prices have failed to advance. Following the sharp gains In con struction in November, a further marked expansion occurred In the first three weeks In December. Awards during the latter period were three times as large as in the corre sponding period of 1932. These totals reflect mainly Increased public works expenditures, although the value of residential contracts awarded for the first half of the month was larger than the total for the entire month of December, 1932. Available data on retail sales in November do not indicate a general gain over a year ago 'In dollar sales commensurate with the price in creases In this interval. Department store sales gained 3 per cent In No vember as compared with a year ago, and other retail sales divisions made a better showing. NEW YORK. Jan. 10. (AP) Di rectors of J. C.

LET THE RAINS DRIVE IT INTO THE TURF TOPIC OR. HOWELL AT "Surely thU is the prime chaos that preceded the creation of the world." Such wu Will Durant'a atatement used Sunday by Rev. W. J. Howell in hla sermon "Russia Defying God." In which he pointed out the ultimate results of such a campaign by the Union of Socialistic Soviet Russia. Reverend Howell told or Durant'a leaning to communism before visiting Russia, as the result or the breakdown in our own country of rigid Individual economy. "The ultimate chaos of our present age was seething Russia," the pastor quoted him as saying. Dr. Robinson, editor of the Medical Critic and Guide, who visited Moscow In June, 1932, stated that Stalin seems, after all, the right man In the right place." After his return to the United States, Dr. Robinson was quot ed as saying, according to Reverend Howell, "It Is a permanent, hopeless hell for the native, for 90 per cent of the population. Russia Is one vast prison one hopeless hell." Reverend Howell also referred to Professor Albert Einstein of Germany, who was pictured In the Communist magazine' a few years ago. "It Is now understandable why Einstein called on every young man In America to refuse to bear arms for his nation It Is the propoganda of Soviet Russia," the pastor said in hla sermon. He told of the League of Atheists in Moscow, which has a membership of 200.000, and also the Union of the Godless, with 600.000 enrolled. Two years' courses are given In the Rus sian universities, he said, for which graduate degrees of die tor of atheism are given. "It Is because of such facts," Rev erend Howell declared, "that we de mand the young people of our land to understand this situation. They worship a man, and a dead man at that. Every 'day thousands of com munists may be seen viewing the mummified corpse of Lenin." In hla address, the minister told of Russia's program ompelllng the teach ing of atheism to all the children, giving 25,000,000 young people the Idea of a godless civilization. Reverend Howell related how the children were taught to disbelieve Christianity, and how they spit on the image and pictures of Jesus Christ. What he termed their "devil -Inspired religion" was Iscarlotlsm. embracing the old-time disciple. Judas Iscarlot. Reverend Howell pointed out that Russia had abolished the three great shrines of the world mother home and God. "The child.' he said, "la the product of the state, and the home is denied the privilege of its loved ones. God Is outlawed." He told of the annihilation of all religious schools and deprivation of all officers and school faculty mem bers of the necessities of life. In his conclusion.
