Industrial Declines

To Be Moderate
Hamilton Institute Boses
Forecast on Stability
OF Farm Income
DISPATCH to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 18.-Prelimi-
nary reports indicate that the value
of factory output was we'll main
tained in March, at a level above
farm income, according to the
Alexander Hamilton Institute.
This suggests the possibility of
some recession during the second
quarter of the year as a corrective
! movement. Any such corrective
movement, however, should not be
particularly pronounced At the
same time. it may be more extern
sive than that indicated by the cur
rently estimated level of farm in
come, which is measuring rod of
normal for the value of factory out
put, since there is some reason to
believe that the present estimate
of farm income is too high.
On the assumption that farm in
come will be the same this year
as last and that the price level of
Aioi1OAdStuACu soouo Will IlOIu Stedus
at the February average, the annual
index Of the quantity of goods which
should normally be produced this
year works out at 95.
This means that, if factory out
put is normal this year, the index
will average slightly over "a dur
ing the last 10 months of the year
since the average during the first
two months was 80.
The probability is, however, that
the index during the last 10 months
will average at somewhat higher
figure than is thus indicated, since
production should be above normal
this year. Last year, when the
annual index was "a, production was
below normal, but that was due to
the necessity of disposing of heavy
inventories. This year, inventories
are considerably lower than a year
ago, and there is room for build
ing up inventories
II farm income should prove to
be lower than the present estimate,
the output of manufactured goods
might fall below the currently esti-
mated volume, but the difference
should not be great, since any re-
duction in farm income below the
1888 level should be partly offset
by a lower level of manufactured
goods prices. Factory output, on
the average, should, consequently,
be fairly we'll maintained during
the remainder of the year at the
volume of the first two months.
Any recession during the second
quarter should thus be followed by
recovery later on in the year.

ASKS GOVERNOR TO
 VETO TOLL BILL

Greenwich, Conn, June g - (U. P0 First Selectman Eugene Loughlin, fearful of retaliatory toll measures by Westchester County, N. Y, today appealed to Governor Baldwin to veto a bill establishing tolls on the Merritt Parkway, Con- necticut's first super-highway.
 The general assembly this week approved a Decent toll on the park way to finance construction of the companion Wilbur L. Cross High way, to be built around New Haven and up to Hartford.
 Loughlin termed the bill "a breach of faith with the people of Fairfield county"
 "The Merritt Parkway was built with the proceeds of bond issue in Fairfield County. Now the people of this county are to be taxed to build a parkway in another part of the state"
 Police officials opposed the toll, claiming it would congest Post road travel. Persons desiring to avoid paying toll would go back to using the crowded Post road, they said.
