Prosperity Worries US.
With Price Runoway i'm
Role Of No. One Menace

WASHINGTON. Sept 25. cUP)-
The United States IS experiencing
a brand OF prosperity more spectac-
ular in many phases than the 1929
boom-but government and public
alike are worried lest times get
too good in an unbalanced way
More people are al work ana
drawing more money III wages than
at any time since the first World
war The cost of living still is below
1929 levels, but rising steadily. In
duStrial production is at an all-time
high. So is government spending
And SO are taxes, which eat up a
large part OF boom profits.
The nation feels the first aches
OF an economic hangover even be-
fore the spree has reached It's peak
Despite increasing wage and dWin-
ding unemployment. protests over
recent price increases have caused
government leaders to request Pres
,ldent Roosevelt to speed legislative
and administrative action to check
the nations growing boom.
The boom is being fed by the de-
fcnSc effort OF this country. The

the first seven months of l94l was

of 1929 1t was 1914.

been dull compared with 1929 The
average daily sales volume on the
New York Stock Exchange IN the
first half OF 1929 was 3977,000 shares
For the first six months Of this
year the daily average was only
AGA 900 shares. Stock prices have
moved little this year, in contrast
to gyrations of 1929 in which for

government is spending more in a
week than it spent in a month only
a few TCarS ago. Some of the rank

are imposed.
SALES RISING
Retail sales have risen steadily for
three years. The federal reserve in
dcx of industrial activity at the end
of August was ISL, compared with
l24 year ago. In June, 1910 the
purchasing power of the dollar was
placed by the labor department at
l299 of normal; now it is less
than 1l5.
Steps have been taken to SLOW the
upward spiral as much as possible,
but such leaders as Secretary OF
the Treasury Henry Morgonthau j..
and Price Control Director Leon
Henderson say Che country already
is III the early stages OF initiation.
Restrictions have been placed on
inStallmcnt credit. Morgenthau has
advocated the release of government

keep food and clothing prices down.

The signs of the times are many.
Employment excluding agrlcul-

department at 39240,000 in July, an
all-timc peak and representing an
increase OF 3.78500O workers over
July. 1910. and 100000 above the
