com" merce department saw on the business horizon today "definite signs" of expansion In consumer purchasing. It also noted a healthier Inventory situation in both the retail and capital goods divisions. Richard C. Patterson, assistant secretary, said a midyear summary of retail trade showed that the June tendency toward better retail conditions was further strengthened in July. July sales figures are Incomplete, he said, but afford enough Information to indicate that consumer buying will Improve sooner than had been anticipated.

His survey showed automobile stocks are not high for midsummer and that feigns point to sales Improvement during the second half of 1938. A factor of major importance which presently lends encouragement to retail trade was the inventory position of consumer goods in the hands of retailers. A study of available figures indicated that the large quantity of merchandise accumulated In the latter part of 1936 and early 1937 has gradually been liquidated and that for some lines, stock levels are back again to normal.

Capone Talks With Young Son First Time in Five Years AN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4. (U. Al Capone, the former Chicago gangland lord, recently met and talked with his son for the first time In five years, the San Francisco News said today. The News said the meeting took place during one of the regular visits Mrs.

Capone has made to Alcatraz prison since Capone was convicted on charges of Income tax evasion. On this occasion she was accompanied by her son, now on vacation from an eastern college. The boy was 14 and unaware of his father's activities as underworld "big shot" when they last met. He knew his father then as a fastidious dresser, a "business-man" who was flanked by a retinue of 18 bodyguards. Father and son had played together on the floor of the Capone's luxurious apartment.

The boy had been lavished with gifts while being kepfin seclusion with his mother. But Capone was no longer dressed in finely woven, pearl gray business suits when father met pon IN THE OIL FIELDS -(With ART MASON)- nPHE steel derrick Is going 1 up day for a deep wildcat test to be drilled under contract by Bell Loffland Drilling Company, close to the old Lost Hills field. Since Eocene oil was discovered at Kettleman Hills and later at Coal' the attention of oil men has directed to other points on the same structural trend. Lost Hills Is at the south end of the great anticlinal ridge which runs through Kettleman up to the Coalinga nose. Reported backing the new project are two con "ianles.

One Is California Lands, recently formed by the Bank of America. The other is the Hild .1 OH Company of northwest Long Beach, which is headed by the Willis brothers, Neil and Robin, welt- known geologists, who are sons of the famous Professor Bailey Willis, earthquake specialist of Stanford University. Under a name, Desert Oil Company, 3600 acres has been leased from Andre Lazaret alontr tho west edge of Lost Hills field, and a location selected 1320 feet east of the west quarter-corner of section 21, 26-20. From the surface this site appears to he half a mile west from the field, but underground it Is estimated the creat slants to the west like Kettleman Hills. Because of the hardness of the deep rocks, the steepness of the dips and the hot flowing salt water encountered by other deep tests In the district, drilling operations are expected to be slow and difficult.

The drilling contractors will use the big machinery from tho recently abandoned Eocene test south of Marl- copa, in a 1 derrick. STANDARD SPUDS IN AT COALINGA At the Coallnga hot spot, Standard Oil Company has spudded No. 82-13C with an hole on section 13, 20-15. Of the four locations, including the discovery well, around the section corner, this is the only one not held by Petroleum Securities Company In conjunction with its co-partners the Seaboard and Honolulu Oil Companies. As the rocks here are soft, it will not be longjje- fpre all four are flowing Into the tanks.

OHIO SHOOTS FOR RETEST For a retest of the formations In its Buena Vista lake deep test, A-8, section 32. 31-26, Ohio Oil Company has shot some more holes In the oil string casing. And again tho well is being swabbed for production from between the depths of 11,005 and 11,128 feet. No oil of any consequence resulted from the first swabbing trials of tho same JntT- val. So far the tests have not shown promise of the discovery of a no A' deep oil floM on the vallev floor.

and the prospects are regarded as unfavorable. BANDUCCI TO DRILL AT TORRANCE Again branching out from Bakersfield, Ido J. Banduccl'ls heading company to drill in the new boom down south at Torrance. Mr. fian- duccl recently finished a well at Santa Maria.

Tho son looked ut a short man in an ill fitting prison uniform, symbol of the toughest prison in the country, and said "Dud." Cuponn reached forward to cm- brace him. Hut bars and non- shatferable prison glass separated them. "My hoy," he said. Grapevine reports later indicated Capone moped glumly In his cell when the visit was over. "I tried to keep all this from the kid, when he was little," he muttered.

"I tried to be a good father. Now he comes hero and sees me like must have hit him right between the eyes." Word of the meeting streaked through the prison. Convicts buzzed about It In the shops, whispered It out of the sides of their mouths In the mess hall. Although Capone is reported to be generally hated in the prison and at times has been reported as losing his rnlnd, the convicts glowed, waggled their heads approvingly, said It was decent of the kid to come. Those who have children of their own were strangely silent.
