INDUSTRIAL
PICKUP EXPECTED
Manufacturers Are Carrying
Heavy Stocks But Inven-
tories Not Burdensome

NEW YORK, Feb. - Up The
recent slackening in operations Of
the natior's factories and mills NAV
bring a fresh pickup before long.
Standard Statistics company said IN
a survey today.
Further declines in industrial
output ere indicated for March and
April" said the statistical organiza.
ton, "but the more rapid the drop,
the sooner will the excuses which
followed the outbreak of war be cor.
rected.
IF the downtrend continues at its
recent pace, the bottom is likely to
be reached and a renewed uptrend
get under way before summer, very
probably from a level still well above
a year before"
Manufacturers are carrying heav-
Ter stocks than before the war, but
in FEW cases r inventories actual.
~ burdensome, the survey found,
adding, "as long as the war con-
tinues, corporations will be inclined
to carry somewhat larger stocks
than they would otherwise need"
Pointing out that employment was
reported by the Labor department
at 1000, 900 higher in December than
a year previously, it said there had
doubtless been some curtailment
since December, then concluded:
Employment will continue above
last year, however, and payrolls
should show a slightly greater veal
to-year increase than employment"

DIVERSION OF ROAD.
FUNDS NOT ISSUE
All Six Candidates In Guber'
material Race Oppose
Transfer OF Money

RALEIGH, Feb. 12- Up High
way diversion, the most contro.
versial issue of the 1889 general as
sembly, apparently won't be an is
sue at all during the democratic
gubernatorial campaign.
All six candidates have taken a
stand, either directly or indirectly,
against the transfer of money from
the highway fund to the general
fund. In other words, they have as
serted that money collected from the
state tax on gasoline, and from the
sale .of automobile license tags,
should be used to build and main
tain roads.
Their apparent unanimous align
ment with the anti-diversionists is
unusual in view of the fact that
anti-diversionists we're defeated
soundly on six different votes in the
last legislature.
The assembly finally passed a law
which provided for the transfer, if
needed, of approximately 81, 500, 900
annually during the 1939-41 bien-
mum from the highway fund to the
general fund.
To date, the transfer has not been
needed, and Governor Hoey has in
dicated that there will be no diver
sion during the two-year period.
Governor Hoey took an active part
during the last legislature TO pre-
vent passages of measures which
would have outlawed diversion.
Here is what the candidates have
had to say on the diversion subject:
J. M. Broughton of Raleigh -
Every dollar Of highway funds is
needed for highway and road main
tenance and construction. Our rev.
enue situation is such that no diver
sion of highway funds will likely be
made during the current bienniurn.
This is gratifying and such a policy
should be continued in the future"
Mayor Thomas E. Cooper of Will
mington-"The cost of license tags
for automobiles should be cut to S."
(Since the tags now cost about $40,
the reduction virtually would pre-
clude diversion.)
Paul Grady of Kenly-"If we are
collecting more than we can wisely
expend on highways, then we should
reduce the rate of heavy taxation"
L. Lee Gravely of Rocky Mount
"lf there is a surplus of highway
funds over and above those that can
be efficiently used in the construc-
ton and maintenance of roads, then
we should have a corresponding re-
duction in the tax on gasoline or
license tags"
Revenue Commissioner A. J. Max.
we'll of Raleigh-"We should make a
thorough survey and set up a co
ordinated and comprehensive pro
gram of. actual needs to make our
present (road) system adequate and
safe. There are thousands of miles
of dirt road that deserve this treat
ment. We should concentrate all
available to carry out, the
program as soon as possible" MAX.
well said this section of his platform
could be interpreter to mean that he
believed all highway taxes should be
spent on highways.)
Lieut.. Gov. W. P. Horton of Pitts.
boro-"An adequate system of public
highways is indispensable to the
economic welfare of North Carolina
for this reason I am opposed to the
diversion Of highway funds, and sc
voted in the general assembly Of
1885,"
