Atlas President SAYS
Inflationary Trend
Can Be Controlled
Believes Prices Will Be
Held in Line by Public
Support Of Government
By the Associated Press.

3 BY INT HSNbLlAAtG LESS
NEW YORK, July 31.-The Gov
ernment, with adequate public
support, should succeed in pre-
venting an uncontrolled inflationary
price rise, said Floyd B. Odlum,
president of Atlas Corp, large in
vesting concern. in his semi-annual
report to stockholders.
Mr.. Odlum reported asset value
for the common stock as Of June 80
at S1l.81 per share, compared with
S11 43 a year earlier, and presented
table showing it had risen in each
of the past three years, starting
from S1093 on June 30 1888, despite
a substantial decline in the average
price of shares in the stock ex-
change during the same period.
Atlas directors today ordered
dividend of Is cents a share on the
common stock, payable September
5 to stock of record August II. to-
gether with the regular quarterly
payment of rs cents on the pre-
ferred. This was the second 25-
cent common stock disbursement
ordered this year. Two 25-cent
distributions were made in 1910, one
June and one October 25.
Explaining the company had con-
sldered it prudent to maintain a
substantial portion of its assets in
cash, Mr.. Odlum said: The impact
of frequent changes in and increase
of taxes, the restrictions and
priorities with respect to many ma
terials and their effect on normal
channels of business, trade and
profits and on civilian life, pose daily
questions concerning which an en-
llghtened guess is all that is some
times possible"
On prices and the efforts of the
Government to curb runaway prices,
he said: AN abrupt infationary
spiral is by no means a certainty
and furthermore there may be
considerable doubt as to how much
protection to capital is afforded by
securities in such a period of in
f1ation when accompanied by price
controls and high taxes"
He thought gradual rise in
prices, in contrast with a runaway
increase may not be avoidable in
periods of emergency such as at
present and may even be desirable"
He expressed the hope and belief it
was the intention of the Govern
ment to keep costs and profits in a
proper balance.

fifth Federal Reserve district during
June than for the same month a
year ago, the banks statistical de-
partment reported today.
The usual seasonal recession for

porting stores in North and South

debts to individual accounts in 25
cities both rejecting consumer pur-
chasing power indirectly, rose 45 per
cent and 80 per cent, respectively.

tracts awarded in the district in

Bituminous coal production in the
United States last month was 80 per
cent over June, 1910, ton production.
All of this increased activity
raised employment levels to the
