WALZER United Press Financial Editor New York 'IP1 Retail trade is reported to be feeling a con sumer pinch in this country. S777Z Standard & 'A0t Poor's says that holiday busin e s s, which pro duces a sub stantial pro portion of an nual earnings of department stores, . is ex pected to fall US 4 Eim?r Vaizer short of last year's level. At the same time the London Financial Times reports that the tightening of the credit squeeze and the increase in the Bank of England rate have done little to damp down the boom in consum er spending in Britain. Indications are that both the volume and the value of retail sales will reach a new record in England this Christmas, says the Times. Over here there's been an un favorable trend in sales since August with three factors con tributing unseasonable weath er, the flu epidemic and mostly rising unemployment. Wage Increase) Over there there's been a rise in consumer buying since the lfet round of wage increases ear ly in the year. The London Times finds that t h(gi (government's restrictive 8s)sures have so far had no dis $fiible impact on the consumer (jrEing, but it finds the boom a some grounds for anticipating a downturn in the new year. Standard & Poor's looks for a downtrend in personal income in the first months of 1953 and an ticipates there may be further reductions in consumer buying. In addition to lighter buying, Standard notes that stores in this country are suffering from a pinch on profits. First half sales rose five per cent for department stores but earnings held about even with last year. Standard says 1958 earnings of stores will largely be determined by economic trends later in the year, but "continued good divi dend coverage appears a reason able expectation." International Statistical Bu reau finds little evidence of real consumer fright at this time, "al though the public is definitely more cautious with its budgets." The bureau finds that retail inventories are comparatively low and in that respect the .cur rent situation is in contrast with 1953-54 when inventories were built up much faster, getting re tailers into difficulty. Vienna (IP) The Health Com mittee of the Communist Czech Parliament has approved a draft permitting abortions in .Czecho slovakia, it was reported today. Prague Radio said the draft, still subject to parliamentary approv al, provides that abortions "for medical and other reasons will be allowed by special commit tees which will examine each in dividual case." The draft states that the abortions must be per- Jfiitchy one and says 4h.ere are ' formed in state hospitals. Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF COO-COO?

He had almost made it to his room when his wife's prized cuckoo clock sounded four times. The husband promptly cuckooed four more times, called out "Heigh ho, it's off to work I go!" and hastily exited from the house. That night his wife reported, "I've decided to get rid of that cuckoo clock. Last night it cuckooed four times, tripped over a chair, mumbled 'Nuts!' then cuckooed four times more!" ' The late Arturo Toscanini once played host to Yehudi Menuhin. The latter was in the middle of a violin sonata when ft phone in the hall began to ring. The maestro motioned to Menuhin to continue playing, picked up a pair of scissors, cut the phone wire in two, then leaned back happily once more to listen to the music. 1957, by Bennett Cerf.
