Acheson's most immediate
step, however, will be to join

trailers Face
Bright Future
New York, Nov. 14 W Re
tailers are facing a pretty bright
future in the next months ahead
as far as their sales volume is
concerned. The pinch comes in
profits.
The amount of money being
rung up on department store
cash registers right now is only
a shade below a year ago. And
remember that last year was
one of the best in grand totals
that department stores ever had.
But this year their profits are
being shaved down by high op
erating costs. On every score it
costs more to stay in business
now than a year ago. As one
merchant said, 'The more you
earn the less you make."
In a recent survey the Nation
al City bank of New York shows
that 58 large retail corporations
in the first half of this year had
a sales volume only four per cent
under the comparable period of
1948. But their net income was
down 31 per cent.
The 27 department and spec
ialty stores in the list reported
sales only three per cent under
a year ago, but their profits were
off 35 per cent.
The latest report of the fed
eral reserve board gives depart
ment store sales at two per cent
under last year for the week
ended Nov. 5.
That's about the most cheer
ing news these retailers have
had all this year. From Jan. 1
to date, department store sales
slumped an average of six per
cent under 1948.
Gen. McClure
Talks on Training
While training techniques of
the service man may be highly
standardized it is dynamic and
no means static, reported Gen.
R. A. McClure, commanding
general of the northern sub area
while speaking before the Salem
Chamber of Commerce Monday
noon.
Training procedures are un
dergoing constant changes, said
the general. He pointed out
that public attitude, public
sanction and the condition of
affairs on a national and inter
national basis have an important
bearing on the process of turn
ing a civilian into a prospective
fighting man.
The general quoted statistics
to show that the age of the
trainee has gone down consid
erably in recent years while his
educational qualifications have
improved.
General McClure denied that
the army has "gone soft" in its
training program although the
men are being given greater lib
erty in many ways. However,
there has been no relaxation in
training and discipline.
The yardstick of leadership Is
the ability and willingness of
the men to perform those tasks
expected of a service man, said
General McClure. Greater em
phasis is being placed on lead
ership and training schools have
been installed where men may
develop their potentialities
along this line.
Firemen to Stage
Thanksgiving Ball
Salem Fire Chief William S.
Roble announced Monday that
tickets had gone on sale for the
annual firemen's dance to be
held Thanksgiving night at the
reopening of the Crystal gar
dens. Profits from the dance spon
sored by the department will be
used to finance conventions to
be held in Salem next July
when the Oregon state fire
chiefs and firemen's organiza
tions assemble.
Two orchestras, one for mod
ern dances and the other for old
time styles, will be on hand at
the hall with two dance floors
in use, Roble said.
Four members of the depart
ment have been designated to
sell tickets.

To Chinese Reds

vate reports with every earmark
of authenticity said the commu
nists occupied Kweiyang this af
ternoon. Loss of this capital of Kwei-

of Chungking would split the
nationalist mainland holdings in
two for all practical purposes.
Kweichow province lies be
tween Chungking's Scechwan
province and the nationalist ar
my in Kwangsi province to the
southeast.
The private sources said Kwei
yang was afire, apparently set
by retreating nationalists, when
the Reds began entering at 1:40
p.m. Earlier, nationalist officials
in this capital had denied loss of
Kweiyang, but telegrams to that
point were being refused.
The nationalists conceded loss

way junction 130 miles east of

Seeks Gifts for
Mental Patients
SDreading of Christmas cheer
through the three mental hospi
tals in Oregon will again be a
project of the Mental Health As
sociation of Oregon, which is
asking contributions of gifts for
the patients at these hospitals.
In asking for gifts for patients
at the three hospitals, the Pen
dleton and Salem State hospitals
and Fairview Home at Salem, the
essociation stresses the fact that
sharp articles such as razors,
blades, scissors, knives and bot
tles should not be sent the pa
tients, as there are some who
may not have them. The indi
vidual gifts may be wrapped or
Christmas wrapping papers, seals
and ribbons are acceptable.
Packages may be mailed to
Mrs. Mabel Hayles, librarian,
Oregon State hospital, Salem;
Dr. Donald Wair, Eastern Ore-i
gon State hospital, Pendleton; or
Dr. Irwin Hill, Fairview Home,
Salem. Those wanting to con
tribute money for purchase of
gifts may send a check payable
to Mrs. W. P. Stevens, Christ
mas Project, and mail it to the
Mental Health Association of Or
egon, 229 Park Bldg., Portland
5, Oregon.
Checks made payable to the in
stitutions are not available for
Christmas spending but instead
must be deposited in the institu
tion's patients' recreation fund.
