WASHINGTON, D. C, April 25.
The snowball Is going uphill. At last
th regenerating forces of business are
working tor tneir
own expansion and
Improvement.
F a c t o r lea are
rounding out a
four months' trend
of Increased pro
duction beyond
seasonal expecta
tions. Their grad
ual pick-up Is ab
sorbing employ-
m.nt and DaVrOllS

.,. i m n r a v in Mill Maiion
purchasing power and opening the
way lor more proaucuon, more cm
vtlnvm-nt snn- more waces.
It is the vicious cycle of the. last
lour years in reverse.
How long that process will continue
no one knows. But at no time during
the last four years have such healthy
signs been noticeable four months in
succession.
Since January production has grad
ually Improved eight points beyond
he normal seasonal flow. Employ
ment has Improved about seven
points, payrolls 13 and department
etore sales nine.
It leaves us now with production
about 86 per cent of normal, employ
ment 78 per cent, payrolls 66 per cent
and sales 77 per cent.
The way automobiles are being sold
and spring clothing Is being bought
clearly Indicates that this Increased
purchasing power Is not being
hoarded. The money obviously la
going back Into trade, which should
build new business.
A seasonal reaction from our pres
ent peak Is due within the next 30
days. Steel and automobiles are hold
ing Up unexpectedly well, but textiles
are showing some signs of slipping.
The automobile output . for April
probably will be around 400,000 cars,
which la 50,000 better than March. No
one can say what May will bring, be
cause production schedules are being
held as near as possible to demand.
The government guessers may be
somewhat optimistic, but they believe
that the recent wage Increases In steel,
automobiles, coal and some other In
dustries helped at least 1,500.000
workers.
That Is why department etore sales
are running 35 per cent to 40 per
cent above last year In dollar volume.
A 20 per cent price Increase accounts
for part of the rise.
Things are moving so rapidly that
It is impossible to estimate within
reason the number of those still un
employed. The public works program Is get
ting nowhere fast.
The extent of its Inability to meet
the situation was never more obvious
than in March, when 872,000,000 of
public works contracts were awarded.
That was the month when Mr. Ickes'
outfit was supposed to show some
thing, opening the spring expenditure
program.
But his figure is three-fourtha of
what he was able to spend in the
frigid month of December. Even the
depressed private building Industry
made a better showing. Its contracts
awarded In March amounted to 102,
000,000. It Is no solace to the PwA
that some of the private contracts
were financed by the federal govern
ment. High prices are retarding the re
covery of the building Industry now.
Certain piping used In some build
ings is up 200 per cent above last
year's figure.
The general level of construction
costs is supposed to be within 10 per
cent of the 10S9 boom level.
The administration crowd has an
Idea that these prices will level off
when Its home-bulldlng program gets
Into operation within the next 30
days. They think added volume will
permit a price reduction, but usually
Increased demand for goods results In
price Increases.
Common labor In the building
trades received 52.7 cents per hour
this March, which Is 20 per ..ent more
than the wage In March last year.
Skilled labor received 11.07 this
March, an Increase of 70 per cent.
Despite all the price boosts in steel,
automobiles, department store mer
chandise, building materials, etc., the
general price level of the country
has not changed materially elnce
Fresldent Roosevelt devalued the dol
lar. It flurtu-fted around 71 per cent
of the 1H26 level from last Septem
ber to January. Upon devaluation
It ran up to a high of 73 8, but la
now back to 73 3.
That leaves us about 27 per cent
away from Mr. Roosevelt's promised
land the 1026 price level.

Closing Talk Made This

KLAMATH FALLS, April 25. (fl1)

special prosecutor, began the closing
arguments for the state this after
noon. '
He was to be followed by David

defense.
Two more arguments tomorrow
morning are expected to be completed
In time for a Jury of men to receive
at noon the case of Horace M. Man
ning, charged with the first degree
murder of Ralph Horan.
KLAMATH FALLS, April 35. (AP)
The case of Horace M. Manning, on
trial for the slaying of Representative
Ralph W. Horan, probably will reach
the Jury on Thursday night.
The defense, following a morning
of state cross-examination of the
veteran attorney, rested Its case to
day. The prosecution had a few re
buttal witnesses to call and final
arguments were to start this after
noon. Early Close Sought
Judge Fred S. Wilson said every ef
fort would be made to complete the
trial tomorrow. If necessary, provid
ing it Is possible to bring the case to
a close, Thursday's session might be
extended as late as 9:00 o'clock.
Manning's sensational testimony of
Tuesday afternoon was continued
under arduous cross examination to
day. Yesterday he said he shot Horan
to save himself after his former part
ner grabbed a gun from an open
drawer and fired the first bullet.
Personal Dispute, Claim
He said the unwitnessed dispute
had been a personal one and was
climaxed when Horan, working him
self Into a frenzy, threatened his life
with one of the two revolvers in
Manning's desk drawer.
Today the state, with Guy Cordon
of Douglas county, conducting the
cross examination, had the defendant
redramatlze the incidents of the al
leged death duel.
