Business
Inflation or Deflation?
Answer Not Apparent
Yet
By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK. Dec. ( (Pv Business
is In the middle again. Businessmen
all over the country feel the pull
of both inflation and deflation.
forces that appear to most observ
ers to be closely matched Just now.
Winter resort owners in Tucson.
Arizona, arc asking if inflation is
in the cards meaning easy and
plentiful money back East, and
more customers for winter resorts.
A secretary in San Francisco asks
if inflation Is on the way back
meaning rising prices for the things
she buvs. while her own pay rises
much more slowly, if at all.
Spring Scene
It may be spring before we know:
whether we're headed for another
boom: whether we're In for a sharp
er bust than last spring; or whether
we somehow or other hsve achieved
the unexpected an almost painless
retreat from postwar inflation to a
lower but still prosperous plateau
of business activity.
Perhaps more persons think that
Inflation Is the stronger force Just
now. They cite the pickup In orders
dustries ss paperboard. shoes andind henc betwr "
. ariiauon may iuu nin quite a w j
to to vet. and that recent unturn
in business may be temporary.
Businessmen themselves have
slowed down their own spending for
new plant and equipment. The
building boom reflects largely gov
ernmental and Institutional con
struction, and the revived boom in
home building, spurred by the high
marriage rate. But the expansion of
production facilities is slowing
down.
Also, farm Income Is falling and
the government predicts It will fall
further. Food prices are weakened,
at the farm level at least, by sur
pluses. Some even question the abil
ity a." the government to support
prices If another bumper crop next
year piles up additional surpluses in
government bins.
Exports
Exports of our goods also may
continue to slide. In spite of the
helping hand of the Marshall Plan
dollar, devaluation of foreign cur
rencies, and the talk about point
frur encouragement of prospective
markets abroad all supposed to
make foreigners more prosperous

here and there such as, tires up
seven per cent In a month. Du
Pont's four per cent hike in rayon
viscose yarn over the week-end, and
coffee prices bumping the sky.
Support
Supporting the view that Inflation
is coming Is the quick rebound of
steel production after the strike,
and the word today that Jones fc
Laughlin. the nation's fourth largest
steel producer, expects a hike In
price on this basic product. Other
items are the easing of the threat
of a coal shortage and the pros
pects of labor peace: the building
boom: the slowly mounting cost of
production in many industries; and
the steady climb of Installment buy
ing to record highs.
Chief argument that Inflation Is
on the way lies in the swelling
tide of government spending, the
treasury's deficit financing, and in
sistence on low Interest rates. These
offer the essence of Inflation which I
Is thj Increasing of the supply of
money and the cheapening of its
buying value.
On the other hand, many observ-
cite tneir own list to snow that I
However, many Industries find It
Increasingly hard to maintain their
profitable markets abroad. Either
there are no dollars oversea to
buy American goods, or the foreign
government wont let American
goods in. Hollywood was among the
first to find Its once golden outlet
cut off. and the oil Industry Is wor
ried now.
Close Balance
The balance between Inflation and
deflation Is too close Just now for
most cautious observers to hazard
a guess as to which way It will
tin.
OTI Students
Seek Refund
Of Pay Cuts
OTI A "Christmas present"
handrd Oregon Tech students by the
veterans administration In the
form of reduced OI checks Is not
being received with any great
amount of appreciation by Tech stu
dents. Over 500 of them receive OI bill
of rights money while attending
school, and noted In their Novem
ber checks received last week de
ductions of from 138 to (33.
Reason
The deductions, VA explained.
were made because no classes were
held at OTI for a week between
semesters. Students were automati
cally cut off the subsistence roll
when the next semester started.
The only way around being cut
off, VA raid, was for the students
to have put in requests for "leave."
meaning for their pay to continue
during their vacation time. Days
for which lea a pay was received
would be subtracted from the stu
dent's days of eligibility under the
OI bill.
Request for the leave should have
been made on a special VA form
In advance of the holidays.
Many Tech students who recelvrd
short checks hsve now filled out the
leave request forms but doubt they
will 'be able to recover the money
already deducted.

'Pelican Express'
Driver Gets
Honor
By BILL JENKINS
THE age of miracles hasn't passed.
Some kind soul picked up those
keys I lost the other day and turn
lied Uirm In at the city police sta
tion. The police took the trouble,
foi which I thank them very much,
to call me at my home and tell me
they had some keys, the only ones
turned In Sunday, and could they
be miner They were. So now I
don't have to worry until the next
time.
And while were on that subject,
the police tell me Ihst they have
a lot of keya down there that have
bren turned In and for which no
one haa called. II you are missing
any valuable unlockera why not
drop down there and see If maybe
yours arent Included In tht col
lection. QNB of the drivers who keeps
w Klsmslh Falls supplied with all
the Ihlnga that come by truck has
Just bren honored as the driver of
the year. He's W. W. (BUI) Masten,
and he a the chap who pilots the
"pelican express" for the Bend-
Portland truck line. Thry are the
ores who bring In the ouuide papers
here along with everything else
that la commonly sent via truck
Bill haa been driving for B-P for
34 years now, and In that time haa
not had a single accident. That's a
fine record, when you consider that
he drlvea 1100 ml Ira a week, through
all kinds of weather and has to
make a schedule as well. They tU
me Bill Is so good now that he can
tell you at what time hell be In any
certain spot along the road on his
regular run. I would Imagine there
are few drivers who can claim an
accident-free record after that long.
The next time you see the express,
you can't miss It because It has a
big pelican emblazoned on the
fiont of the trailer. Up your hat la
a safe, and courteous driver.
THE weather seems to be the prime
topic of conversation this morning
with most people. According to the
Old Fanner's Almanac It shows
s.gns of rain or snow. Correct. The
barometer her In the office Is slip
ping down steadily, and has been
since around one o'clock this morn
