than 140.000 man hours worked

of man hours of work in the
northwest region for the period
was 4,853,065.

TREMENDOUS VALUES
The chameleon's changes in
color are due to temperature
variations in light and the liz
ard's feelings.

TOPS IN TRIOS The nation's tops in singing trios, the
newcomers McGuire Sisters meet with old favorites the
Andrews Sisters in Las Vegas, Nevada. The McGuires
(left, top to bottom): Chris, Phyllis and Dottie, made their
night club debut at Wilbur Clark's Desert Inn. Right are
LaVerne, Maxine and Patti who came out of retirement
to warble at the Flamingo.
No Cause for Alarm
Seen in Mid-Year
Report on Economy
New York (U.R) Banks, bus
iiess, industries and individuals
reported evidence of scattered
"soft spots" in the economy at
mid-year but they agreed unani
mously that there was no cause
for alarm.
Many of those people affected
by smaller paychecks, unemploy
ment or reduced demand for
their products sajd they expect
ed to regain property equal to
1955 before the year was out.
The softening showed up most
ly in the automobile industry,
home-building, the sale of farm
machinery and in the slowly
rising cost of living that some
people are finding difficult to
meet.
The steel striks still was too
young to be classified as a soft
spot but reports indicated it
might cost the economy $2,000,
000,000 in lost wages and pro
duction if it lasted as long as a
month.
Reports from Washington said
a long steel strike would not
only upset the relative industrial
peace of 1956 but also might
stiffen employer resistance to
wage demands in other indus
tries during the rest of the year.
Fewer Cart
George Romney, president of
American Motors, said fewer
than 6,000.000 cars would be
gold in 1956. But he said this
was mostly due to "substantial
overbuying" in 1955. And he
predicted this condition would
disappear by the latter part of
1956. .
John L. McCaffrey, chairman
of the board of the Internation
al Harvester Co., said retail
sales of farm equipment have
been slow and accumulated in
ventories have caused some cut
backs and layoffs. He said farm
ers were reluctant to buy ma
chinery because of their dis
satisfaction with commodity
prices, drought conditions in
many parts of the nation and
uncertainty as to what would
come of federal farm legislation.
Other indications of soft spots
came mostly in lines buried in
reports of generally favorable
conditions.
Major Drain
The government said income
tax payments by major corpora
tions had been a major drain on
their revenue resources this
year. This forced heavy bor
rowing in some cases to meet
obligations and pay for expan
sions. The Federal Reserve Bank
said business loans in the first
five months of 1956 were "half
a?a in as large" as in the cor
responding period of 1955.
The television industry had
admitted a slight pinch in sales
after the record sales of 7.4
million sets last year. Many
dealers conceded that their dol
lar volume and- profit margins
were not so high as in 1955.
SPLIT PERSONALITY
Manchester, Tenn. (U.R) Joe,
a Bantam rooster, crows like
what he is but he also hatched
a brood of chicks. Joe is owned
by T. A. Jenkins and when he
found a couple of eggs in a nest,
he decided to act like a Hen.
More eggs were put in the nest
and Joe hatched seven chicks.
