Kelly Jr. Such a picture would
hold the same patriotic interest
that Sergeant York" does for us.
Brynie, by this time, has prob
ably contacted Mrs. Kelly, the
brave young widow of the flyer
who flew TO his death in the at
tack on the Haruna.
The picture should be dedicated
10 Mrs. Kelly and to little Corkey,
their 18-month-old son. who al

a West Point appointment by
President Roosevelt in a letter
sent 10 the President OF the
United States in 1856.

Retail Trade Holds
Substantial Gain
Over Year Ago
Post-Holiduy Decline
Is Reported Smaller
Than Usual
By the Associated Press.

bS the associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Consumer
buying showed less than the usual
decline this week after the biggest
CHRISTMAS season in II years, said
the Dun & Bradstreet weekly trade
review today.
Despite the more limited clear
ance offerings in some lines and less
favorable weather conditions for the
movement of winter merchandise
than year ago." added the review,
sales increases over the 1910 week
were quite substantial.
Dollar volume Of trade in auto
mobile, department, apparel and
grocery stores was estimated up
to II per cent on an average. All
major geographical divisions showed
year-to-year improvement, the South
leading with an advance of 10 to 18
per cent
The light wholesale trading
which usually goes with this period
OF the year was livened by retailers
efforts to plug inventory holes. Al
though scattered and rather small
individually, orders for sorting-up
purposes and clearance sales kept
wholesalers fairly busy.
Most houses were shipping a
larger volume of replacement goods
than at this time last year. An
other-and generally unexpected
source of new business was advance
purchasing in lines for which mar
ket openings are scheduled in COM
ing weeks"

Huge Steel Production
Predicted in Year
b. TIE Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The steel
industry in 1941 should be able to
produce a total of 86.400,000 net
tons of open hearth. Bessemer and
electric furnace steel if operations
could be sustained at about per
cent above the 100 per cent Of prac-
tical capacity, Iron Age said today.
Practical capacity said the maya
zine, is calculated annually by
checking the ability Of equipment
to produce The American Iron G5
Steel Institute, which makes the
compilation, allows 1872 per cent
from potential or theoretical capaci-
ty to provide for time lost in break
downs, repair and maintenance.
Under extreme pressure some COM
panies have been able to operate
for fairly long periods in excess
of 100 per cent Of rated capacity.
This is likely to happen during
large part of 1941.
In the last % years, Iron Age
said, average utilization of existing
steel capacity was only 81 per cent.
Actual production in 1910, ac-
cording to a recent estimate by the
American Iron & Steel Institute.
was 66,500000 tons Of steel highest
for any year on record.
