Inflation Major Problem
Confronting U.S., Federal

By ft. A. PHILLIP
NEW YORK (API Th. butin.u boom flourished on .11
fronts lest week, supported by buoyant civilian enemy and
increased spending for the rearmament program.
Virtually avary one of the standard measuring devices that
tall the stnte of buiinatt at any given time showed gains, and in
tome inttancai new pat let for r.eent yean.
The sustained exhibition of power by business and industry
was accompanied once again by e high degree of labor unrest
and another whirl of the Inflation merry-go-round fueled by price

Special attention was gin

chairman of the f ederal Reserve

jerience, didn't beat around the
bush or employ technical language
in discussing inflation.
"Inflation," he said, "Is the
most pressing internal problem be
fore the country today.. It ia not
around the corner. It is here now."
Lab.r Oisc.nt.nt Sh.wn
With living costs, in a steady
climb and federal tax collectors
ready to take a bigger bite out of
paychecks, thousands of workers
struck to enforce higher pay.
Other thousands were pacified for
the moment by pay boosts ranging
from five to 10 cents an hour.
Still other thousands had spokes
men at bargaining tables.
While numerous "quickie" and
"wildcat" strikes kept plant man
agers an edit all week, overall in
dustrial production averaged at a I
higner level wiin me aia or in
creased hours of work and extra
shifts in some industries which sup
plied material to both the home
front and the war cause.
The stock market came through
with a late rally that carried prices
to the highest level in 1 years
on Friday. Stocks peculiarly
adaptea to present-day economics,
including inflation hedges, were
snapped up eagerly. The bond mar
ket shared in the spotlight when
the giant American Telephone Co.
announced a new financing pro
gram of record siie would be
submitted to stockholders for ap
proval. Bank Leans Zam
A strong upsurge In bank clear
ings carried the total to $11,496,.
884,000, a new high since the
enormuous volume of business a t
the peak of the slock mi rket crisis
in the fall of 1929.
Another Important financial in
dicator, bank loans to business,
showed tha largest week-to-week
gain in history, moving up to $15,
3.10,000,000 from $14,932,000,000 in
the preceding week and com
pared with 113,171,000,000 a year
ago.
It was the 14th consecutive
weekly advance and reflected nor
mal seasonal expansion in business
inventories as well as borrowing tn
ay for extra purchases prompted
iy rising prices.
Although It was the first week
of credit controls Imposed by
the Federal Reserve board in an
effort to stem the inflation tide.
retail trade rose moderately over
the previous week and was sharply
higher than last year at this time.
The autnmobil. industry had to
I contend with material shortages
; as well as labor unrest, but man-
aged to produce 188.50 units, a
I small gain over 18.S.421 turned out
I in the preceding period and com
pared with 158,007 a year ago.

Circuit yOurt
System Of Oregon
Under Criticism
CKARHART UP) Revision
of Oregon's circuit court system
was a corridor topic at the State
Bar convention Saturday in tbe
wake of a charge at Salem that
some judges reluse to help out in
overloaded districts.
State Sen. Dean 9alker of Inde
pendence made the charge at a
meeting of the state emergency
board. He said the entire situation
was muddled, with many judges
having too much and others not
enough. Many with U'jht burdens,
he said, refused i go outside their
districts.
Supreii Court Justice James
Brand was in partial agreement
in a talk at the convention and he
offered a suggestion tht' the sys
tem be revised.
He emphasized that he was not
criticizing judges, but said that the
system was faulty. Justice Brand
said the only way to solve the prob
lem would be tn integrate the
judicial system under the supreme
court chief justice with an admin
istrator who could shift judges as
need arose.
Paul Oeddes, member of the
bar's board of governors, said the
bar has been studying the prob
lem for some time and has two
plans under consideration. One, he
said, is comoarahle to that sug
tested by Justice Brand a system
already in vogue in some eastern
stales and the other calls for pub
lication, at regular intervals, of
the amount of work turned out by
each court.
The principal iroblem cornea
from Multnomah eminly, where the
circuit courts are 12 to 14 months
behind. That is four months worse
than a year ago.
Discussions indicated that some
judges don't want to he assigned
to Multnomah county because they
either get local "hot potatoes" or
get equity cases involving exces
sive work. Some attorneys said
they didn't like tn have judges
gone from their home districts be
cause that prevents prompt action
on restraining order or injunction
requests.
