By The Associated Press
A last day-surge of Yule-
tide shopping swept over re-
tail counters in the nation’s
best Christmas trade in
years.
The United States Depart-
ment of Commerce said the
holiday buying generally,
was the heaviest since 1929.
A powerful autumn industrial up-
swing had added many hundreds of
millions of dollars to the public
purse through expansion in pay-
rolls and disbursements to share-
holders.
Improvement Seen
Uncle Sam’s trade observers noted
there was ample evidence of im-
* prox emenUTFr'pfTTCirSMng pnw’er in
the demand for furniture and more
expensive miscellaneous gifts.
A nation-wide survey brought re-
ports of record sales from some
stores. Most merchants said the
shopping season made a strong
finish after a slow start.
Opinion was divided as to wheth-
er the earlier Thanksgiving date,
observed in half the states of the
Union, influenced trade important-
ly.
Large distributing organization’
had difficulty weighting effects of
1 the earlier Thanksgiving because
| mild, dry weather cut sharply into
sales of seasonal merchandise
Most Business Ahead
Once the rush started, it rolled
huge free-spending crowds into the
country's principal shopping
thoroughfares. Steels and other
heavy industrial centers, partly re-
lieved of depression unemployment,
were conspicuous in trade gains
War-stimulated business was rated
a factor in these sectors.
Good and favorable were most

WASHINGTON — —
T4ie navy has ordered a fleet
of giant, long-range, four-
motor flying boats to patrol
its far flung “line of observa-
tion” in the Pacific and to
reinforce the administra-
tion’s hemisphere defense
policies.
Authoritative sources reported
Saturday that possibly 50 or more
craft with a range of more than 5,-
000 miles were involved in a $20.-
016.669 order just given a Califor-
nia plant. The contract, the largest
single aircraft purchase in navy
history, went to Consolidated Air-
craft Corporation. San Diego. Calif.
In accord with the navy's policy de-
tails weer withheld.
Weapons Formidable
The newest additions will aug-
ment 15 other four-motor ships of
the same general type ordered last
year, and more than 200 smaller
two-motor flying boats already in
service
The two-motor patrol craft have
been “ferried" non-stop by the score
to Hawaii and Panama and have
been termed by foreign aviation
experts “incomparably” the most
formidable overseas striking force
of the kind in existence.
The navy has been experimenting
with four-motor flying boats since
1935. The newest planes ordered
are a development of the consoli-
dated concern’s experimental model,
the PB2Y2. a high wing monoplane
