IN READINESS
FOR SPENDING
But Business Wants AS
surance Period Of Uncer-
tainty Nearing End
BY MAX BUCKINGHAM
Copyright, 1887, United Press)

NEW YORK, Nov. 20. (UP).-
Pent up millions are ready to be
released into trade as soon as
there are signs that the current
business uncertainty is near an
end, the United Press found yes
terday.
The main sources from which
these millions will come include:
!. Retail store replenishment of
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. lower than in
years-which will total hundreds
of millions of dollars.
2. Railroad buying of rails and
other equipment, some of which is
needed, which will mean many
millions of dollars.
3. Utility expansion programs
which will total around 81, $780,
100000.
A. Speeding up of the govern
ment program of buying necessi-
ties for various departments. The
program calls for expenditure of
$245, 100000 between now and
June 30.
One estimate is that the II ma
jor retail stores in the New
York Brooklyn area will spend
around $26,500,000 in the next
80 to 40 days to replenish holt
day supplies. =
A. w. Zelomek, economist for
Fairchild Publications and the In
ternational Statistical Bureau,
Inc, told the United Press after
a visit through the midwest:
"Many centers show smaller in
ventories than any corresponding
period in similar years. Some are
short holiday merchandise. Be-
ginning in March and April, they
bought as little as possible. Thus
the inventory position is strong"
On this basis, it is easy to see
that tremendous demand will
develop for such supplies the min
ute the public overcomes its fear
and starts making retail purchas-
es. Hundreds Of millions of dol
lars will be involved.
The railroad situation depends
upon the outcome Of the petition
for higher freight rates. Should
that come through replacement
needs Immediately will be bar
gained for. One group of south
ern railroads last week reported
orders for $2,500,000 Of railroad
equipment and this is considered
while tremendously helpful at
the moment-a mere fraction of
what subsequently can develop
for the market. Utilities are ready
to proceed with expansion and
replacement programs as soon as
they believe there is an end to
restrictive legislation. The action

pany, Inc, in announcing the
company will spend $100,000,000

Union officials indicated that,

frames, valves and other essen

sonnet director, was not available
for comment upon the unions pro
posed strategy, but another Ford
spokesman said the company had
no knowledge Of the JAW S
plans.
Hence we cannot comment
upon the situation" the SpokcS-

Woodring Favors
US. Air Force On
Wartime Basis
Further Strengthening Of
Armed Forces Held
Means for Peace

WASHINGTON, Nov. 90. (UPl.
Secretary of War Harry H.
Woodring, in his annual report to
President Roosevelt last night,
urged further strengthening of
the nations armed forces as the
best means of securing peace "in
an uneasy world, made restless by
actual or potential warfare" .
Woodring also recommended
that the air force be maintained
practically on a wartime basis,
prepared to strike on moments
notice in event Of attack on the
United States. ,
The war secretary described
the army presently as "more Ell
ficient than at any time in its
peacetime history" but called the
presidents attention to the fact
the United Safes military machine
is relatively weaker, compared
with armies Of other great coun-
tries, than it was a year ago.
81 certainly do not recommend
that the United States join in this
feverish arms race" he said.
"Our national policy is wholly
defensive and it would be highly
undesirable for us to maintain at
enormous expense huge stand
ing army, or any force larger
than necessary to protect our
homeland and possessions.
However, I do think that as
insurance against attack we
should further strengthen our
armed forces"
He suggested that the number
of commissioned officers of the
regular army be increased by
