Industry Cuts
Down Inventory
Washington, June 22 U.n The
federal reserve board reported
today that business and industry
are retrenching all along the
line, paralleling the general
slump In prices, production and
sales.
The June issue of the board's
monthly bulletin said business
men are cutting down on their
inventories and trimming their
spending on new plant and
equipment.
The bulletin said that so far
this retrenchment has been large
ly seasonal but that it is expected
to continue in the second half of
the year, when the trend nor
mally is the other way.
A major factor in the outlook
for the coming six months, the
bulletin said, is that many post
war expansion and moderniza
tion programs have been com
pleted or are approaching com
pletion. Valuation Up

over last year is shown in a
summary of the Lincoln county

Utility appraisals, a function
of the tax commission, are not

offset this gain a loss of $225,

Pres. Truman Vetoes
Flood Relief Bill
Washington, June 22 W) A
bill that would have allowed the
federal district court for Ore
gon to decide on claims of Ore
gonians for damages from a
May 7, 1942, flood was vetoed
yesterday by President Truman.
The claimants said the flood
resulted from failure of spillway
gates operated by the bureau of
reclamation in the Vale irriga
tion district.
President Truman vetoed the
bill because of "sweeping terms"
that he said could deprive the
United States of making sub
stantive defenses against the
claims.

Plucky Man
May Survive
Vernal, Utah, June 22 U.B
Hospital attendants said that a
plucky 73-year-old Vernal man
has a good chance to live despite
three nights in the wilds with
a broken back and a pain-biting
crawl of more than a mile.
Charles Swain endured in
tense pain in his wilderness bat-
tic for life after his horse threw
him and trampled him last
Thursday at Little Brush, 17
miles northeast of Vernal.
Swain huddled alone in a dug
out without water or food until
Sunday night, waiting for help
that never arrived.
Then he painfully manipulat
his legs and arms so as to pro
pel his body for about a mile
and half along a rough trail to
the nearby Gladys Evans ranch.
Hospital attendants at Salt
Lake City said his condition is
"fairly good," despite the brok
en back.
