Industry Pulls Out of 1933 Slump
Under Spur of Federal Spending;
Pace Quickened After Costly Lag
(By CLAUDE A. JAGG Ell 1
Associated Press General Financial
Editor
NEW YORK Caught la the rip
tides of depression at home and na
tional belligerencies abroad, the
Cnited States in 1 l3S steered one?
mote into the seas of large-scale
government spending.
The wheels of Industry, stalled
late in 1U37, began to whir in late
summer, after congress had ap
proved President Roosevelt's
uuu.uuo.oou program in June.
From the slowest pace in four
years, reached in late spring, in
dustry had accelerated by Novem
ber to the clip first reached on the
recovery In early VSA6. Then the
usual yearend slackening appeared.
The new spending proposal, an
nounced by President Roosevelt in
April, was a complete about face
from, the policy of 1337, when the
federal government's cah income
and outgo was actually in balance
for seveial mouths.
As late as November of that year,
when business bad slumped severe
ly. Secretary Mougenihau said what
was most needed was the "driv
ing force of private capital" and
the best way to atir it to action was
by balancing the budget.
President Roosevelt, in explain
ing the new drive of dollars, said
last April the government "baa
promised never to stand idly by
and watch its people, its business
system and its national life disin
tegrate." Hope of a balanced
budget, he said, lay in vigorous
steps to restore national income.
Prophets Right But Early
The tendency in both Wall street
and Washington in the early
mouths of the 137-33 slump was
to hope it reflected only a fairly
moderate accumulation of unsold
Inventories by manufacturers, aud

would not correct itself by spring
Many a New Year's prophet a
year ago thought spring would see
a change. They were a few months
too soon, inventories were not
welt worked off until iaie sum
mer. They are still substantial in
some lines. But they were reduced
enough w hen the spending program
was adopted, economists say, to
make it an important stimuiaut.
The year l'J')i dawns with busi
ness experts almost unanimous in
their expectation mat recovery
will carry on ur at ieast some
months. How long, and how far.
however. are questions upon
which opinion is characteristically

CASE STILL PUZZLE
TACOMA, Wash., Dec. 2S
AP Federal bureau of investi
gation agents and other authori
ties enter the third year of their
investigation of the Charles Matt
son kidnap slaying today, appar
ently without a definite clue lo
the identity of the fiendish slayer.
Si i teen thousand persons have
been questioned since the i 0-year-old
son of Dr. W. W. Mattson was
carried from the family home the
night of Dec. 27. but none
has been connected with the kid
naping. A wide area, spreading out from
a thicket near Everett. Wash.,
where the boy's body was found
two weeks later, has beeu thor
oughly combed by F. B. I. agents
but the kidnaper's trail at that
point apparently turned cold.
Almost every inhabitant of some
villages within a radius of 150
miles of Tacoma has been ques
tioned at some time or other dur
ing the past two years as to
some possible knowledge of the
kidnaper's identity.
Prisoners, seat to penitentiaries
since the kidnaping, have come in
tor examination. Hardly a man
enters a county or city jail with
out his jailers considering the pos
sibility he might be the long
sought slayer and even morgues
have been checked tti suicide
cases.
sBut two years after the Pacific
northwest was stirred by the
crime the kidnaper, if he still
lives, is free to roam at large.
The F. B. I. agents keep silent
on their activities but their chief,
J. Edgar Hoover, has made it
know a they regard the Mattson
kidnaping as their No. I assign
ment and will not rest until the
fiend is captured or his identity
aud death established.

TENMILE, Dee. 2'J. The Tea

Tuesday evening. They decided to
have their newly elected officers to

What is
Kil
owa
The pound is o measure of weight.
The foot is o measure of distance.'
The gallon is a measure of bulk.
The kilowott-hour is a measure of electricity. It is really a giont unit. It
is the energy of a horse working for l 13 hours. The horse can do more
than the muscle work of 10 men. So a kilowatt-hour is equal to the com
bined muscle work of 13 strong men in on hour. A Kilowatt-hour is 1 000
watt-hours just os one foot is 12 inches. A watt-hour is not so small that
we should sneer at it. When a 100 pound woman walks from the cellar to
the first ond second floors, and then to the attic, she is tired, yet her work
equals only I watt-hour. She would have to make the trip from the cellar
to the attic 1000 times to equal the work one kilowatt-hour of electricity
does. J The average cost of a kilowatt-hour used in the home in the United
States is nearly 43,4 cents, the averoge rate for this company is much less
than that. Would you walk from the cellor to the attic 1000 times for less
than 43,i cents ?
"1 kilowatt-hour equals the energy of 13 strong men working 1 hour.
If you paid each man 25 cents an hour the. 1 3 men would receive the total
sum of $3.25., The same amount of energy would cost less than 43,4 cents
electrically. K
