PACE TWO Highjer Prices Seen Iro IFcalD Administration Studies Problem Of Whether Nation's . High Riding Economy Headed For Inflation Crackup WASHINGTON. July U M The administration today put aside rears ' of a mld-imi business setback to tudy instead the question whether the nation's hlsli-rlcllnr economy l bended for an Inflationary crackup. Instead of the mild "dip" which anot sovernment economists once predicted after July 1, many now forecast a new and hiiher plateau of prices In August and September. Sixty million Jobs yesterday be came a reality Instead of the title of a book by Henry A. Wallace. The census bureau reported that 60.055, 000 civilians were working In June, an all-time high for peace or war. This "drove the last nail in the coffin" of the much discussed sum mer slump, some of the economists say. Actually, the working force ex ceeds Wallaces "full employment" goal, for he Included men in mili tary service. If these are added, to day's total Is 61.453.000.

The president's council of eco nomic advisers, which yesterday gave Mr. Truman and the cabinet the facts, figures and forecasts on the problems of prosperity, is de scribed reliably aa worried lest the country is "relaxing Its resistance to the inflationary mood." At this moment, one official close to the council reported privately, the advisers feel It would be "un fortunate and unjustified" if size able price Increases are slapped on steel .and .consumer .goods made from steel as a result of the wage Increase won by John L. Lewis' coal miners. Neither should the coal settlement t off a general demand for an other round of wage boosts, the council believes, because the miners' Sl.it daily wage Increase is not Frost Damage To Crops.ln Basin Area Held Light A survey of grain and potato tieias uirougnout tne Kiamatn basin in regard to damage result ing from heavy frosts of several weeks ago brought encouragement to growers. , Varying degrees of damage to barley were felt In the basin, with the fields hardest hit In the Lower Loss 'Of Money 15 Years Ago Shooting Cause (Continued from Page One) is nothing I can do about It That was 15 years ago."

Negroes Get OK On S. C. Vote CHARLESTON. S. C, July 12 () U. S. District Judge J.

Three Factors At the commerce department, some economists see at least three factors which may Jack up prices and business activity in August and September. They mention:, 1. The full impact of the spring and summer wage raises not mere ly In coal, but in the steel, auto, telephone, maritime and other in dustries will show up by then in the form of greater buying power and heightened demand for goods. a. The cash payment ol veterans terminal leave bonds may put over a billion dollars of spending money in veterans' pockets in September. 3. Controls on consumer credit the one-third down and 15-monlh payment rules may be lifted In August, thereby enlarging every body's credit resources for the pur chase of autos, refrigerators, wash ers and other goods. Klamath Lake arrtt Slight frost damage was felt In grain fields around Tulelake, except In winter barley which was harder hit. Potatoes are very slowly making a come-back from their frost ex perience with the last two davs of warm weather showing consider able Improvement in fields. Areas hardest nit were those in the middle of flat open lands. Potato shipments for this year are roughly estimated to be about 6000 carloads or about half of last year's shipments which totaled 13.000. This SO per cent reduction Is due partly to frost damage and partly to less acreage planted in spuds this year. Stands on an average are expected to produce about 75 per cent of normal crops, with a few stands at a much lower per cent To balance this, some fields have made an almost 100 per cent' recovery from frost and others were not affected. Walfr Jendrezjewski. county agent, pointed out that the most optimistic estimate of 600 carloads for this year is still dependent upon the length of growing season before killing frosts this fall and assuming there will be no heavy frosts in the meantime. Potato fields, he said, are coming back faster in the main Irrigation project than farther south. Barley In the main project was not affected by frost and wheat In the dryland areas east of the main irrigation project suffered considerable damage. Thursday's wind storm did slight damage to grain fields, bendlng-t over tne stains to an extent that they will not spring back, which will not affect the crop but will make harvesting more difficult, the county agent explained.

National Income payments to In dividuals, which are regarded as a yardstick of prosperity, are already at a record peak and may go higher. There are some counter inflation ary Influences. With most Industries now oyer the hurdle of wage disputes, unln terrupled production can belter the supply or goods tor sale. Mparts may fall off late this year. Knd of the harvest season will bring un employment to many farm and can nery workers. -4 But on the theory that Inflation la' the problem of the moment, Mr. Truman's message Is expected to repeat his plea that Industry dig In Its heels against further price ad vances and If possible cut prices voluntarily. The report Is also expected to re new the White House argument against Income lax reduction. Jews Kidnap Two Britons JERUSALEM.
