NEW' YORK Bigger fac
tory payrolls in the months ahead
plenty of jobs this summer.
That was probably the most sig
nificant of the many forecasts
heard this week on the near-term
outlook for the nation's business.
Jumsing-otf point for rosy pie
dictions about summer employ
ment prospects was the govern
ment's latest report on output of
U.s. lactones and mines.
The yardstick was the Federal
Reserve Board's index of indus
trial production. After allowing for
seasonal factors, the index for
May stood at 138 per cent of the
1947-49 average an all-time high.
And, economists said, it should
soon go higher.
Best news about summer jobs
was provided by a U.S. Labor lie
partment survey. It showed lhat
companies in 75 per cent of the
nation's major employment areas
will need more workers by mid
July. Biggest increase in hiring,
of course, will be in such seasonal
lines as farming and construction.
But producers of steel and manu
facturers of electrical machinery
wit be adding workers loo. Lay
offs in the auto industry should
be slight despite production cut
backs.
Signs of a rising business trend
were evident all along the line,
Soft coal production was the hieh
est in eight months; electric power
output me second highest in his
tory. With freight carloadings up
is per cent irom a year ago, rail
roads said they were planning to
place "substantial orders" for new
cars lo replace Worn out equip
ment. Consumer .confidence was buoved
up by wage settlements in the auto
industry (General Motors signed
"rord model" contract providing
for company-financed layoff pay)
and by prospects for labor peace
in other basic lines. Merchants
said shoppers are more willing to
take on installment debts than
they were a year ago, and they're
paying their bills more promptly

Three Young Children
Die In Flooded Cellar
QUANAH, Tex. tfl A nantic
father dived into a dark flooded
storm cellar Saturday, in a futile
effort to save three of his chil
dren. "I heard my little boy call out,
'Help. Daddy,' and that was all,"
said farmer Ira Kceney. "I dove
back in there and tried to save
them, but I just couldn't find
thorn."
The three Keener' children,
Doris, 5, Thomas, 4, and Alma,
3, all drowned.
A sudden, 5-inch rain caused a
dike on a nearby draw lo break
and flood the storm cellar, 'ocated
in a low spot.

Communism Out In Guatemala
GUATEMALA P One year ago
Guatemala was a Red Blot on the
face of Central America, and;
communism was spreading lo its
neighbors. Today, although the
government and some groups keep
harping on fighting communism to
death, and just ahout everybody,
stresses "anticommunism," the
Reds are gone.
Communism in Central Ameri
ca, in the opinion of many ob
servers, is no longer a serjous fac
tor It stays barely alive in Hon
duras, under wraps, and it's rest
ing on its sickles in the other
Central American states.
The man who erased it in Gua
temala, with a timely and deter
mined push from Honduras, is
President Carols Castillo Armas.
"Communism in Guatemala is
on the downgrade," he said in an
interview, "but I shall not rest
until it is completely exterminat

Cooperative merchandising helps build
better markets for forest products
Steady sales mean steady paychecks
The forest industry of Oregon and Washington
directly accounts for over 1 JH.OOO jobs, with an
Annual .payroll of about $H(K) million. Thou
sands of others are employed in remnnufactur
ing wood into an increasing variety of products.
Steady employment in the forest industry
is a result of tha steady sale of it product.
Successful marketing brings a constant flow
of money into this area that reaches out in
ever-expanding circles ... money spent for ser
vices, food, clothing, homes, automobiles, and
taxes which support schools and government
functions. All told, the forest industry is ths
foundation for more than half of the economy
of Oregon and Washington.
WW''

To maintain its sales volume in the face of competition from other
building materials, the forest products industry uses a variety of mod
ern marketing techniques. While members of the industry naturally
concentrate on the sale of their own brand names, they also cooperate
to help build better markets for forest products as a whole.
A good example of the effectiveness of industry cooperation is
demonstrated by activities of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association.
Through the association, plywood plants in Washington and Oregon
work together to encourage the demand for all brands of Douglas fir
plywood. The association extensively advertises the advantages of fir '
plywood as a building material to architects, builders and consumers.
Technical literature and plans are also issued in volume to show tha
proper application and finishing of the plywood... as well as its variety
of uses. Displays and other selling aids are prepared for lumber whole
salers, dealers, and salesmen.
Such cooperative activities are typical of many through which tha
forest products industry combats ever-increasing competition. They
help maintain the sales volume which supports so many jobs and so
much community income in the Pacific Northwest.
