UPWARD TREND IN
Sharp Rise in Steel Output
Noted Work in Factories
. 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.

TOPIC OR. HOWELL

"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. Reverend Howell
expressed the belief that God has a
program of bis own, and perhaps be-
