Mr.. Tone, from his Washington
post, will give close study to facts
and figures about Connecticut for
the next few months, for he will
be one Of the leading candidates
for the Democratic guberna tOrial

lead him to dispute further the
claims of the present state admin

Gov. Baldwin claims that N60
new business establishments came

says the figure was SO, a total

administrations. Mr.. Tone says he
takes his figures from labor de-
partment records; it's up to the
governor to disprove them.

Durability Of Trade
Revival Uncertain,
Ayres Declares
Economist Predicts
Fairly Good First
Quarter, However

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 15.-Col. Leon
ard P. Ayres says there are "justi-
fable doubts about the probable
durability" of the current business
expansion.
Pointing to the "disproportionate-
ly great increase in the demand for
iron and STEEL" the economist wrote
last night in his monthly business
survey for the Cleveland Trust Co.:
Apparently these products are
mostly being paid for out of COR
poration working capital. and from
reserves set aside for depreciation.
Clearly they are not being financed
In large degree from bank borrow
ings, or from money received from
the sale of new securities.
This condition raises justifiable
doubts about the probable durability
of this expansion"
Col. Ayres noted, however, some
