The daily calendar of the House issued on the day of adjournment for the recess lists, under (he head ing, "Status of Major Bills" only one piece of major legislation as having been completed into law thus far this year. That one bill was the urgent deficiency appro priation bill. This session has not been pro ductive of major legislation but it hs not lacked production along other lines. For example, the House has had 132 roll calls (it takes 30 minutes to call the roll). Most of them were mere quorum calls. Last year it was not until the 21st of July that we had roll call num ber 132. Talk on the floor of both Houses of Congress has been quite ample thus far this session also. The 93 senators by long odds outtalked the 435 House members. In fact, less than one-fourth as many senators talked JO per cent more oases into the Congressional Record than did the 3S members of the House. The senators talked 2,607 paes (about 4.040,850 words), the House mem bers 2,027 pages or some J,141,8.i0 words. But in volume of bills there has been plenty to talk about. Thus far this session 2,354 measures have been introduced in Congress. Here is a quote that should be put up on big billboards all over the United States: General Dwight Eisenhower says; "Those -individuals seeking to centralize power in the federal government are more dangerous to our form of govern ment than any foreign threat that can possibly be arrayed against us." The giant appropriations bill (431 pages), which I have mentioned previously in these letters, will not , be acted upon until after the East er recess of the House. Earlier j there was an attempt on the part of the chairman of the appropria I lions committee to get the bill ! acted urxn before recess. Repun '. lican members sought to delay ac tion for two reasons. First, it was felt that majority members of the House wou'd be more inclined to vote for reducing amendments aft er visiting at home a while. Sec ondly, since the bill is so large and the committee report so vol uminous, some delay was sought to give the members on both sides of the aide a chance to get bet ter informed on what is in the bill. It is fairly certain, however, that the appropriations bill will he passed and sent to the Senate be fore the end of this month. Mean while the Senate appropriations committee has been holding hear ings on the various chapters of the bill and will be in position to re port its version of the bill in a fairly short time.

Watch Trend Of Investment Outlay When Forecasting Business Future By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK. (,W If you want to know what's ahead of busi ness in general, watch the trend 01 investment spending. In the opin ion of at least one business leader, that's a much safer nuide than trying to follow the old-fashioned business cycle method.' An estimate of future expendi tures of an investment nature gives the average business man with limited research facilitiea a short-cut method of telling whether times will be Rood or bad. This is the view of Frank D. Newbury, a retired director, vice-president and economist of the Westinghouse Electric Corp. He bases this on the belief that investment spending variations have the greatest effect on the,, total of the gross national product If bis short-cut is to work: spend ing for consumption goods and ser. vices must follow a normal pat tern, with personal savings neither abnormally nign nor low; ana so must additions to personal luquid assets, with no major increase in consumer spending of, part sav ings. ..',- These are two big ifs and New bury aaya they must be taken Into account in business forecast ing. "But usually a aufficiently close estimate of gro'S national product and of the trend of general business can be made fro.n con sideration of investment expendi tures ilone." Newbury says in a discussion of "methods of forecast ing general business conditions", just made for the controllership foundation. "Because the sire of gross na tional product gives a direct mea sure and the more inclusive mea sure of business activity, an esti mate of the future size of gross national product is a forecast of the level of business," he saya. Gross national product includes the production of the entire labor force, in farming, manufacturing, and in the service industries and occupations. It measures this in money, showing the effects of year-to-year price changes. The other popular guide to bus iness activity is the federal re serve board's index of industrial production. But Newbury points out that the index "covers less than one-third of the labor force, since it omits farming, construc tion labor on the site, and all the service industries." . Busioessmen who would be fore rasters are advised to learn as much as they can about the in vestment plans of business firms and government agenciea "for tunately, investment plans take lime to prepare and a still longer time to execute", thus casting their shadow far in advance. ' There are six types of this in vestment spending to watch: 1. Private construction; I. Pro ducers' durable equipment; 3. Changes in business inventories; 4. Excess of goods and services exported over corresponding im ports; 5. Federal government pur chases from business, either for new construction or other items; and 6. stale ind local government purchases from business. If the total of these can be expected to increase," it is logical to expect an increasing trend in general busines activity", New bury says. But he warm against opinions based on one kind of in vestment alone: "Seldom do all kinds of investment move in the same direction it is the totsl of all six kinds that is significant."
