Cross-fingered Optimism Seen
At Manufacturers' Convention
By SAM DAWSON
New York, Dec. 8 (ff) There's an air of' cross-fingered optim
ism at the Waldorf-Astoria today.
In its opulent grand ballroom, America's most glittering
pageant of industrial might gets underway.. And this time, as
contrasted to last year, the boys attending the Congress of Amer

Air Ace Breaks Record
For Commercial Globe-Circling
New York, Dec. 8 U.R) Thomas G. Lanphier, Jr., a World
War II air ace, arrived here Wednesday after a 22,180-mile
Journey which broke the record for circling the globe by regularly-scheduled
commercial airlines.
He made the trip in four days, 23 hours and 47 minutes..
He took along one extra suit,
on a hanger, and one extra pair
of nylon socks, shorts, and a ny
lon shirt. He said he washed out
his socks, shorts and shirt every
day on the plane.
The greatest hazard encoun
tered, Lanphier said, was the
circling of buzzards over Kar
achi, Pakistan.
Lanphier was greeted at La
Guardia airport by Col. Eddie
Eagen of New York, who held
the previous record of six days,
three hours, and 15 minutes.
"This is not a personal ac
complishment," Lanphier said.
It's an accomplishment of the
airlines.
"Anyone can do it who has
$1,545.75 for a ticket. I just
climbed aboard a plane last
Friday a little after noon and
was scheduled to be here 10
minutes before noon today, and'
they delivered me."
Lanphier arrived at 11:55 a.m.
EST. He had left at 12:08 p.m.
Friday. The flight was sponsor
ed by the Air Force association.
Lanphier flew on five planes
and used three airlines. His
stops were Gander, London,
Brussels, Damascus, Basra, Kar
achi, New Delhi, Bangkok, Hong
Kong, Okinawa, Tokyo, Mid
way, Honolulu, San Francisco,
Chicago, and New York.
Lanphier, a lieutenant colonel
In the army air force during the
war, shot down the plane carry
ing Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto,
commander in chief of the Ja
panese fleet, over Bougainville
on April 18, 1943. When he ar
rived in Tokyo on this trip, Ya
mamoto's widow met him at the
airport.
Lanphier said he didn't know
"what the Japanese accomplish
ed by having the admiral's wife
there" but that "I did the cour
teous thing, and I'm sure she
meant well."
"She's a pleasant woman, and
she just came out to say she had
no hard feelings," Lanphier add
ed. He said news reports which
said he apologized to her were
incorrect.
"There was no occasion for
me to apologize," he said. "She
did the talking."
Junior Evangelical
Aid Serves Dinner
Monmouth The Junior Aid of
the Evangelical church held its
monthly meeting when 25 mem
bers were served a covered dish
dinner in the church basement.
A feature of the dinner was a
wedding cake, the 31st anniver
sary of Rev. and Mrs. A. L. Lons
berry. Hostesses for the day
were Mrs. Ella Stebbins, Mrs.
Ethyl Moreland and Mrs. Claude
Boyd.
The afternoon was spent in
marking articles to be sold at
the annual bazaar, December 10,
and Mrs. E. J. Halderman read
a Christmas story. The next
meeting will be January 5 with
Mrs. W. A. Buss. The Martha
class party will be held in the
church basement December 12.
to death.
They were last year.
Most of the three thousand,
top men in our manufacturing
industries, who gather annually
for the meeting of the National
Association of Manufacturers,
were enjoying the very peak of
record prosperity, when jnam
met a year ago. But many of
them were on record as warning
that a bad slump could be ex
pected in 1949.
You could fairly see the hair
standing up on their heads.
This time, most of them ad
mit 1949 turned out to be a pret
ty good year, after a bad start.
And most of them appear to be
lieve that 1950 will be a better
one. Some even think a new
boom may be starting.
Of course, there'll probably
be a, good deal of viewing with
alarm during the next three days
at the Waldorf it's pretty hard
for most manufacturers to face
in the direction of Washington
with composure. And NAM
speakers will stress the things
they think are wrong, dangerous
or threatening in our economy,
and list the things they'd like to
see changed particularly in
taxes and governmental inter
ference with business.
But as to business prospects,
most manufacturers are reported
to be expecting to do better in
1950, especially in the first half
of the year. And in this optim
ism there is some evidence that
manufacturers lead both whole
salers and retailers. The last is
closer to the public, and more
mpressed by the tight string
John Q. is keeping on his purse
when he goes shopping.
Members of NAM are cheered
by the quick recovery industry
seems to be making after the
steel and coal strikes, and by
the higher than expected level
at which industrial production
held during the strikes.
The census bureau reports
this week a half million increase
in the number of employes in
November, and a drop in the
total of jobless. (The bureau
doesn t count strikers as unem
ployed.) It is noted, however
that the jobless still totals 3.4
million, compared with 1.8 mil
lion just a year ago.
Paul G. Hoffman delicately
brings up another thing.
With notable restraint, the
economic cooperation adminis
trator, who was a manufacturer
once himself, said in his prepared
speech:
"There is no need for me to
condemn Russian communism to
you gentlemen. There are not
now and never have been any
communists in the NAM.
