Decline in Inventories Gives
Ray of Hope to Business
New York, July 11 (ff) Shrinking inventories gave some encour
agement to a nation of decline-wearj businessmen this week.
Factory warehouses were less bulging: wholesalers' stockrooms
were less cluttered with goods; retailers' shelves weren't quite as
tightly packed.
It was a step In the right di
rection, for it meant produc
tion could get away to a quick
start once the consumer loosens
his purse strings;
But it wasn't the whole an
swer by a long shot. It will take
more than a drop in inventories
to start business activity really
humming again.
There was plenty in the
week's news to discourage as
well as encourage.
The threat of a steel strike
Britain's austerity program and
f resident Truman's coming eco
nomic report had everyone in
a dither of speculation.
And overall business- activity
during the week a now familiar
line declining production and
sales down again.
For many economists, how
ever, the decline in inventories
at manufacturing, wholesale and
retail levels was a good omen.
They knew wholesalers, re
tailers and consumers alike
must start buying replacements
sometime. They said the pros
pective buyer has the dollars
that he's only waiting for a bet
ter bargain.
Declining stocks of merchan
dise do not mean that purchas
ing will start tomorrow or the
next day.
But they do indicate that
when buying finally gets under
way there will be a rapid up
turn in the rate of business ac
tivity in order to keep the con
sumer's wants satisfied.
This week reduced inven
tories contributed to an upturn
in the non-ferrous market. As
demand picked up copper and
lead prices advanced for the
first time since March.
The threat of a steel strike
kept everyone tense from Wall
Street to Main Street.
A strike against "Big Steel'
probably would affect 189 steel
producers employing 500,000
workers.
It would greatly hamper the
nation's industrial machinery
but it probably wouldn't have
anywhere near the crippling ef
fect of the last major stoppage
in 1946.
In the previous big strike the
country was in the midst of
post-war economic recovery
the demand for steel was in
tense. Today backlogs of orders
are practically non-existent and
production has been steadily declining.
unemployment figures were
affected by school-age job seek
ers who wanted work for only
tne summer months.
Government employment was
at a three year high.
The census bureau reported
federal, state and local employes
numbered ' 6,219,000 in April,
latest month available.
Department store sales drop
ped a 11 per cent below a year
ago, according to the federal
reserve board the largest de
cline in some time. For the
first six months, sales were only
four per cent below the first
half of 1948, however.
The New York Stock Ex
change was doing nicely during
most of the week and had five
successive advaclng sessions to
its credit.
Then, President Truman told
his news conference he was bull
ish look at the stock market,
he said.
And within a matter of min
utes the market advance halted.

Mrs. Mapelli, an Italian who

Because of the pleas of her
niece, Miss Mary E. Frazzini of
Denver, congress recently re

by a special act. Miss Frazzini
met her aunt at the airport

Mike Elliott's Feudin'
Turns to Libel Suit
Portland, July 11 m Sheriff
Marion (Mike) Elliott, who has
been feuding with Portland
newspapers, Saturday filed a
$500,000 libel suit against The
Oregonian, and defied his op
ponents to "go ahead and start
a recall."
Elliott asserted in an inter
view: "I have no fears. If the
voters want a recall then let
them recall me. Personally I
doubt that enough of the voters
want me out of office badly
enough to do somethinf about
it. But if they do, let them
prove it."
This was in response to an
Oregonian editorial that called
for Elliott to resign, and hinted
that a recall movement might
follow.

From Hungry Horse Dam on the south fork or
Flathead River in Montana will come more power
for distribution through the Northwest Power Pool.
This project is one of the first major steps towards
satisfying the power hunger of this growing region.
Advanced preparations for construction are already
well along, and Hungry Horse initially will produce
more than 142,000 kilowatts of power. Later thie
output will be increased to 285,000 kilowatts, a little
more than half that of Bonneville Dam.
' Bonneville Power Distributor
Hungry Horse Is situated approximately 450 miles
northeast of Portland and a little more than 200 milef
northwest of Butte, Montana. Its power will help
this area meet the tremendous power demands created
by population and industrial growth. It is but one of
the major projects which are planned in conjunction
with many smaller ones to supply the Pacific North
west with an additional 10 million kilowatts of power.
Although power demand will continue to exceed powet
supply for another few years, these great plans spell
power aplenty again in the years to come!
