Business Leaders Hopeful Of Economic Outlook; But Labor Head Disagrees By JOE HALL WASHINGTON Wl The U. S. Ohamer of Commerce, voicing a cheerful outlook (or the nation's economy, said today, "It Is diffi cult to see any reason why this country should ever attain expe rience an old-fashioned depres sion.'; i ' v..-'-- But CIO President Walter Rou ther called it "dangerous and un realistic" to think that "spring and the robins will bring pros perity." He oviously referred in a state ment for the Senate-House Eco nomic Committee to recent predic tions by administration spokesmen that the U. S. economy, which they contend is adjusting after the Korean War, will start turning up ward about spring. The Chamber said in Us state ment for the committee that so far the "inevitable readjustment" which It said was "bound to follow the end of fighting in Korea" has been "surprisingly easy." The committee Is making Its an nual study of the President's eco nomic report, which Reuther de scribed as a "weak-yisioned docu ment." - The Chamber said business In 1954 "will be good by any stand ards established before 1950," but that it probably will not be as "buoyant" as In 1953. The Chamber pointed to these good signs: "Strong sources of In vestment and consumer demand remain. Consumer Income is still very high. Business intentions to Invest In new plant and equipment Indicate nigh level of capital in vestment this year." Discussing unemployment, the We tn joy helping "week-end carpenters and "fiiet supers". Drop in anytime for ideal and mggtwiom. BASIN BLDG. MATERIALS K. Foils ; Yard 4784 So. 6th; Ph. 2-2563 . Malin Yard Phono 107 Chamber said the Census Bureau reported that unemployment In January totaled 3.8 per cent of the civilian labor force. This, it said is "in no sense an alarming amount." . However,, the Commerce Depart ment announced last night after the Chamber statement bad been prepared that a hew method of collecting statistics indicates that the number of unemployed early last month was 3,087,000 about 128,000 more than reported pre viously. This works out to 4.9 per cent of the civilian labor force. Reuther said there may be dif ferences of opinion on the serious ness of the unemployment situa tion, but "Ihe problem Is real, it is here now, and it Is Inexcusable In a country like ours . . ." The CIO president, who also beads the CIO U n I tod Auto Workers, said signs of an econom ic pickup have not been seen yet in the automobile industry.' The Chevrolet division of General Mo tors, he said, has just cut back to a four-day week "at a time when they should be moving toward higher production." He referred to recent criticism leveled, at him by Republican Na tional Chairman Leonard W. Hall. Said Reuther; "If worrying about unemployment makes me a proph et of gloom . . then I must plead guilty." - Clue To Bloat Discovered By AG Scientists The first real lead In the all-out drive to find the cause of bloat in sheep 'and cattle has been an nounced by the' USDA. Scientists have succeeded in isolating sub stances from alfalfa that In test feedings have produced bloat. In cooperation with many experi ment stations, the USDA special ists are extending investigation of these substances to different varie ties of alfalfa and to Ladino and other clovers. Bloat has Increased! steadily In recent years and more and more farmers - have found themselves threatened with loss of valuable stock, reduced milk production, and slower fattening of beef cattle, rne Increase tn bloat has been gener ally associated with the increased use of legumes In pasture mix tures. Saponins in legume plaaia have long been suspected as caus ing the trouble, but such substances had never before been isolated In identifiable form in large enough amounts for test feeding. Chemists at the TJEDA'a western regional laboratory, Albany, Call: fornia, finally were able to isolate the material. The tests were con ducted at the Beltsville, Maryland research center by feeding alfalfa sanonin to 5 yearling ewes. 2 goats and 1 heifer. In 8 out of 10 tests, saponin caused bloat symp toms. The scientists think this clue will eventually lead to discovery of ways to prevent costly oioai. Two Year Old Guernsey Cow Breaks Record PETERBOROUGH, N. H.
