With Steel, Railways Worst Hit By SAM DAWSON ..' NEW YORK. June 28-tB The ilump Is expected to get a good deal more painful ahortly. Some big key Industries, like steel and autos, have yet to feel it And when they really cut back, It'll raise hob with all business in the Industrial midwest and east. The wailing and moaning you've heard to date will just be a whisper to what you'll hear before this year's over. At the same time, a number of other industries have brighter prospects for the second half of this year. And still others expect that any further slump this fall will be a mild affair for them, only a little worse than now. Let's look at some of these prospects, starting at the Indigo bottom of the industrial rainbow and working up toward the rosy top. Gloomiest outlooks just now are for steel, other metals, coal and as a result, for the rail roads. .

Non-ferrous metals cut prices drastically after demand died in March. A number of mines have closed, others have cut back the work week. Many feel the worst will be over by August or Sep tember but doubt if their pulse will be really strong again before next spring. Coal mine over-production pil ed large supplies on the ground. Cold weather will help, but whether costs and prices can be brought down to help coal in its competitive fight with fuel oil and natural gas depends a lot on what comes out of the talks with John L. Lewis. Railroad carloadlngs average lower this year. They have pret ty well reconciled to having traf fic fall off still more the last half, but they pray for freight rate hikes to offset it. Truck and barge competion bites deeper into their business with each rate increase.

Furniture output Is running about 20 per cent behind last year, but it was a lot worse than that a few months ago. The shoe industry ran into trouble two years ago and is beginning to feel the first faint recovery breeze now. Clothing Sales and production are now in pretty good balance, but far below the peak. Price differences still split the clothing makers and the re tailers. Wool mills caught the slump head on at the beginning of the year, Production hit a low point in April and has made its first hesitant upward step. They might get going again the first of the year., Retailers First Hit Retail trade felt the slump first, when customers balked at prices. Department store dollar sales are below last year, but unit volume is holding high. Earnings are due for a drop this year, and if unemployment grows sales will drop faster this win ter. Inventories aren't dangerous ly high, however. Airlines went sour after the war, but are in the black again. This Is their best flying weather. Earnings may slide again next winter, but they're pushing their lower-priced coach service. Industries still riding high, but with prospects for the second half doubtful, are autos and utili ties. . Auto order backlogs may dis appear this fall, but the Industry is still - producing at top speed, giving at least token price cuts to buyers and earnest pep talks Tut., Juno 28, 1949 Tho Newt-Revlaw, Rostburg, Ort. 9 Restriction Of Atomic Bomb's Use To 'Retaliation' Will Be Demanded WASHINGTON, June 28. UP) Senator Flanders (R-Vt) said Monday he will ask Congress to forbid use of the atomic bomb except as a weapon of "retalia tion' Flanders said the bomb, like biological warfare and poison gas, "is not properly a military device" but "rather a means for the mass murder of citizens."- He announced to a news con ference that he has drafted a resolution for the - Senate and House which would state as a na tional policy that the United to salesmen. Building of homes is running behind last year and may stuff off further next winter. Indus trial building is also easing off. But public and Institutional build ing is Increasing and taking up the slack. Riding along on the cushions of government supports are the farmers. Right optimistic are the grocers. And perhaps the cheap est of them all are the airplane builders. Farm income It down about 10 per cent from last year. That cuts buying at the village store some, too. But the farmer counts on the government to keep things from getting much worse. How ever, nothing in sight now indi cates the farmer will be better off next year, unless unusual weather, here or abroad, cuts down present surpluses. Grocery prices are expected to drop about five per cent more by the end of the year, but store sales unit volume will stay high, barring a big jump In the num ber of jobless. States will "not employ the atomic bomb as a weapon of war fare." but "Until satisfactory means of control are agreed upon and put Into complete effect through the United Nations the armed serv ices of this nation are directed to prepare themselves and to hold themselves in readiness to re taliate with overwhelming force against any nation which initiates the military use . of atomic en ergy." Flanders said the resolution hat four major purposes: 1. Make It unnecessary to wait for the convening of Congress and the declaration of war In case an atomic bomb is dropped on this country. Flanders . says Congress by approval of the resolution would call in advance for Instant reprisals. . . 2. Set up a national policy for the guidance of the armed services. 3. Give reassurance to the peo ple behind the Iron curtain as to our purpose and plans as far ai the atomic bomb is concerned should we be drawn Into a war with their governments. 4. Give a new Impetus to en deavors to reach an agreement in the United Nations on the use and contrel of atomic energy. 1B1B 0 hi m he " iii . k .' i i i'ji - id ,.... i "liiiS See the big-value features In this BIG-FAMILY SIZE 77io cu. ft.
