 This means that on any delin- quent account the entire three per cent federal tax as well as the state contribution of 2.7 per cent will be payable.
 The 60 days extension period which was granted last year to en- able employers to make state re- turns and still receive the federal credit offset probably will not be provided in 1889. Newness of the law was the reason for the ex- tension, Commissioner Tone aid, but now employers have had 12 ad- ditional months in which to famil- iarize themselves with it, and re- turns will be required by the final due date.

PROSPEROUS NEW
 YEAR FORECASTED
Chief Economists Predict Better Business COndi=
 tiOns For l939
By FRED BAILEY

United Press Staff COrrespondent)
 Washington, Dec. 29-CUP)-The governments chief economists fore cast a prosperous new year for the nation today in a year-end survey of business conditions.
 The bureau of agricultural eco- monies, which charts trends in in- dustrial as well as agricultural pro- duction and consumption, said pros- poets were good for continued recov- cry. The fall pickup in industrial production and consumer demand recovered more than half of the ground lost in the 1937-38 recession, its survey said.
 The bureau reported marked pickup" in building activity and sub stantial increases in steel, automo- bile and textile production. Factory payrolls have increased and unem- ployment has decreased according to Works Progress Administration and American Federation of Labor reports.
 Consumer Purchase Power
 Consumer purchasing power in- creased materially in recent months, {" the bureau said, land some addi- tional improvement is in prospect. However, no sensationally rapid ad- vance should be expected in the near future.
 "The rise in industrial production that began last summer has contin- ued for six months, and consider ably more than half of the ground lost during the recession has been recovered.
 Industrial production in Novem- Der was above the 1923-25 average, according to latest reports. The in- crease from the low point of last summer was said to be due prin- cipally to increases in consumer goods.
 The bureau said that steel inven- tories have been built up and that the volume of output in iron and steel may decline some, although a resumption of purchases by auto mobile manufacturers and new buy ing by railroads and the construc- tion industry should prevent any sharp drop.
 Continued Improvement
 'It is probable that there will be continued improvement in consumer demand during the next few months, even if there is no additional in- crease in industrial activity" the bureau said.
 General improvement in business will result in the gradual resumption of plans for the rehabilitation of in- dustrial plants and equipment. with . consequent increase in employ ment.
 Further increases in spending for

Quarterly contribution forms for the final 1888 report, now being mailed to all employers subject to the Connecticut unemployment com- pensation law, are the most impor- tant of the year, it was pointed out today by Commissioner Joseph M. Tone of the state department of labor.
 Although prompt payment of all contributions is necessary, forms for the October, November and Oecem- Der quarter, with contribution checks attached, must be returned by Jan- uary 31, 1889 if the per cent fed- eral credit offset is to be granted
 Commissioner Tone explained that Connecticut must certify to the fed- eral government the exact amount
