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

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.
