ITEMS FROM
Big Concerns
Boost Profits
NEW YORK Wl Some big
boys are sweetening the profits
pudding. Their gains in nci in
tnma sffAi navini? lower tax-
es offset the sourer reports of
many smaller businesses for the
summer quarter.
The first 50 corporations to
report their net profits after
taxes for the three summer
months exclusive of financial
institutions and railroads show
ed combined earnings 12 per
cent higher than for the same
three months of l9oi.
But weighing heavily in that
icale are the increased profits
of such big companies as Ameri
can Telephone & Telegraph, Du
Pont, and General Electric. Oth
er companies whose earnings
were sharply up this summer
over last include Continental
Can, Kaiser Aluminum, Mar
quette Cement and Rohm & Hass.
Of the 50 to report, 27 had
increased earnings this summer.
In many cases this was due to
a sharp drop in income taxes,
which more than offset the de
cline in sales which many re
port. Fifty is too small a number
to more than indicate a trend.
And it must be remembered that
corporations with sorry earnings
rnmnarisons are less likely to
rush to announce them. Some of
the 50 offered estimates with
final figures to follow. The great
flood of earning statements will
t0ct nrniinH thp fnd Of this
month, and may change the final
figures considerably.
But the first indications point
to a continuation of this year's
earlier trend big gains by
some large corporations offset
ting decreased profits by a mass
nf smnller companies. In the
first quarter of this year com
bined profits of industrial cor
porations averaged 7 per cent
ahead of the 1953 period. In the
second quarter it had dropped to
a gain of 6 per cent.
Utilities in earlier quarters av
eraged from 5 to 7 per cent
ahead of a year ago. But rail
roads were off by 45 per cent
or more, and early indications
are that rail earnings in the sum
mer quarter will also prove to
be down by a large percentage.
Banks have been showing a prof
it gain this summer, although
none is included in the 50.
PnmhinpH thft enrninrrs of the
SO companies total $343,017,014.

Controls Set
On Pesticides
WASHINGTON ail The gov-
ernmcnt proposed new salclv
curbs today on chemical pest-
killers used in spraying fresh
fruits and vegetables to Keep
thm from becoming a health
hazard.
The regulations proposed by
iv. Hnjilth Education and Wcl-
fai-a ripnartment. cover some
tk.Ba Amon npsticides. ranging
from virtually harmless ones to
some of "the most potent poisons
known." They apply to the resi
due of pesticides that can remain
on fresh fruits and vegetables
distributed in interstate com
merce.
The proposed rules prohibit
any residue 01 nine cnemicai
compounds and establish "safe
limits" or "tolerenccs" for 26
others commonly used. They are
based on scientific data de-
irainnpri at. lendthv hearings held
by the Food and Drug Adminis
tration in 1950.
Witnesses at the 1950 hearings
were iriven 60 days to file exeep
tions to the proposed rules. A
final decision on the proposed
'ulations will be made by
Health Secretary Oveta Culp
Hobby sometime after the 60-day
period.
The proposed ban on any resi
due of some pesticides will have
little effect on their use in farm
ing, since they are dissipated so
rapidly after application that
none remains when the produce
is rpnHv for market, the FDA
said. But others, such as mercury
and selenium compounds, must
be used with "unusual care" if
at all, it said.
