8,299 cases through July 30, as

In the Day's Hews
By FRANK JENKINS
HERE'S a slant on the Chinese
Communists (it cornea from
Shanghai):
"Communist authorities decreed
today it is a waste of time to play
Man Jong. Sixty-eight playera of
China's favorite game were ar
rested, fined up to 40,000 commu
nist dollars , each, sentenced to
four hours In Jail and made to
sweep the streets."
NOT so bad.
At this distance, we have the
idea that if the Chinese played
LESS Mah Jong and grew MORE
crops and made more things they
would be vastly better off.
(We have to worry about these
things, you know, for we seem
to have accepted the principle
that American taxpayers must
support all the peoples In the

themselves.)

PRESENT PROSPECTS GOOD
Long-Range Outlook For
Business Poor, However.
Consensus Of Economists
By CHARLES MOLONY
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. 0B Signs built up today of a
breathing spell but probably not a permanent halt in business
downturn that has ru nthrough 1949 so far.
A consensus produced by a top-flight official group of economists
working as a team boiled down with some "ifs" attached to this:
1. The immediate outlook is
that economic activity likelv will
hold at the mid-year ievel for the
July-August-September quarter,
and perhaps may rise a bit in
September.
2. Longer-range prospects are
darker, because it seems that, on
the whole, fundamental readjust
ment has not been completed and
employment, production. Income
and prices may continue to draft
downwards from October through
mid-1950.
The men who drew ud this ap
praisal would not be quoted by
name.
The longer-range downdrift. It
was noted, probably will be ob
acrued from recognition by its
ate tempo, and erratic upturns
now and then in particular lines.
Optimism Increases
One sign of an economic
breather or reversal was said
But Gabrielson's backers claim
ed a majority of the 102-vote
committee in a test scheduled for
later in the day.
Gabrielson is a 58-year-old New
Jersey lawyer and industrialist.
He backed the unsuccessful presi
dential candidacy ot Senator Koo
ert A. Taft of Ohio last year.
Scott, quitting after a stormy
year as chairman, supported Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey oi Mew York,
who won the nomination.
Beck's friends say he has no
present preference for the party's
1952 presidential nomination, rie
was endorsed for Scott's Job by
his state's congressinoal delega
tion. Scott, elected at last year's re
publican convention, survived an
ouster effort against him last
January.
He told the nation's top repub
lican in a prepared address that
if they don't stop quarreling
among themselves, "pretty soon
we will be face to faoe with
the prospect of the liquidation
of the republican party as a force
in national affairs."
Asserting that he has had "one
of the shortest four year terms
in history," the retiring chair
man compared President Truman
to the "typhoid Mary" who pass
ed along typhoid fever without
knowing that she was doing so.
He said Mr. Truman was spon
soring "statism" without being
conscious of that fact.

Richard Shore Smith, ex-president
of the First National ank

ages in a $200,000 suit brought
by minority stockholders ot the

Greta Brostow Tyron brought
the suit against Smith, charging
she had received too little for her
shares of stock when the bank
was sold to Transamerica corpor
ation in 1945.
The ruling by Judge Da) M.
King applied to nine other plain
tiffs who brought similar court
actions.
The plaintiffs contended that
Smith used his position at presi
dent of the bank to get a higher
price for his own stock In nego
tiations with officers of the First
National bank in Portland than
the plaintiffs coul get for theirs.
' They claimed they could have
received $60 a share for their
stock instead of $220 if Smith had
advised them of its value.
But Smith told the court that
majority stock was customarily
worth more than minority stock.

parts of the nation and to get a
