gaws as swivels, stringers and spare
tips for casting rods.
Practically the sole cheer amid the
industry's gloom was to be found in
the little coterie of fishhook makers,
the article states. The lot Of the
hook companies excels that of all
other tackle manufacturers because,
effective July l, they may obtain
materials and produce hooks at the
rate of so per cent of their 1941
output.
Another cause for tempered jubil-
alton among the fishhook makers is
Government business; hook con-
tracts carry priority ratings of Ala.
Business Week points out that IAN
industry tradition holds that seeing
what trouble fish gets into by open
ing his jaws has made its members
close-mouthed." But Wright & Nc
Gill in January announced receipt
of an order for 100000 cod and

sreeial Dispatch to The Star,

NEW YORK, June 20.-On orders
from Washington, the manufactur-
srs of fishing tackle have successfully
renounced during the last year first
the scarcer metals, then imported
materials such as bamboo, silk, and
rubber. When steel was denied them
they made other plans and ordered
plastics.
Now the War Production Board,
in forbidding the manufacturers the
use of all plastics, has virtually
Topped off the industry's head, ac-
cording to an article in the current
issue of Business Week.
The magazine points out that a
few of the manufacturers can turn
to making munitions on such shop
equipment as the screw machines
that formerly produced their small
hardware, but many of them have
not even a prayer for salvation.
The amateur fisherman is unlikely
to feel any great scarcity of tackle
this season, says the magazine.
Merchandise for his 1912 use in va
cationland waters is already in deal

his favorite make of reel. rod, or

Cuts Pork Stocks
Under 1941 Levels
War Needs to More
Than Offset Gain
In Slaughter
BY WILLIAM FERRIS,
Wide World Market Writer.

CHICAGO, June 2o.-Although
pork production Is greatly expanded
this year as large numbers of hogs
are sent to market, the total Of
frozen and cured pork held in cold
storage warehouses has declined
consistently since March /, tabu-
lation of Department of Agriculture
statistics disclosed today.
The decline In warehouse supplies
in the March 1-June / period this
year contrasted with 1941, when
stocks expanded during the same
months, and indicated to livestock
men the manner in which enlarged
demand for pork meat for lease-lend
and military purposes was consum-
ing the available supply.
Beef Stocks Larger.
AS a result Of the decline In the
last three months, there were 140,-
063, 900 less pounds in cold storage
on June l. 1942, than on the same
date last year.
Beef stocks, however, showed a
year-to-year advance, totaling 100,-
$4,000 pounds on June / against
1921 900 pounds year earlier.
The following table gives cold
storage holdings in pounds of frozen
and cured pork on the first day of
each month this year and in 1941

Livestock men viewed this decline
with interest in the light of the
Agriculture Departments statement
this week that the expected in
crease in hog slaughter this summer
will not match the upturn in lease
lend and military requirements for
pork and lard.
Hog Market Climbs.
Hog prices rose this week, ad-
vancing to level equal with the

manent pork ceilings. The close was

Chesapeake g. Potomac Telephone
Co. officials reported yesterday that
May witnessed sharp drop in the
number of new telephones installed
during the month as a result of the
War Production Boards orders. The
board recently issued orders limit
ing installation of new phones to
those which are needed In advancing
the war effort.
During May only 1892 telephones
were installed, compared with 1924
in April and 3,174 in May, 1941. The
largest number installed this year
was in February, the total reaching
6,462.
The total number of telephones in
service in May again established an
all-time record for that month and
the company's entire history, it was
announced yesterday. There were
443,499 phones in use compared with
292 093 in May. 194l.
Officials stated that the average

lished an all-time record for the

An improvement in women's wear
materials was noted in the wool

that market was quiet. Mills were
reported occupied with Government

NEW YORK, June 20-The stock
market today stepped out of a gen.
orally foggy week with trends still
notably obscure.
While selling pressure, as in the
past several sessions, was absent,
the buying urge was lacking. Un-
even tendencies prevailed at the
start. Gains running to point or
so were well distributed at the close
although declines of as much were
in the majority.
Brokers again blamed speculative
and investment apathy mainly on
somewhat bearish war develop
ments. Many customers also light
ened commitments or stood aside to
await the outcome of the Roosevelt

persisted as market handicap.

BY IRVING PERLMETER,
Associated Press Writer.

Indications are that the Treasury
will fail to reach its goal Of $780,
100000 War bond sales in June.
One ofiicial estimate yesterday,
based on the first three weeks re-
suits, was that the months sales
would be $70o, 10000 June Is in
come tax payments and unavoidable
delays in installing payroll deduc-
ton plans in business establish
ments were given as reasons for the
possible quota failure.
However, all officials agreed that
June sales figures were not of pri-
mary Importance, since the bond
sales campaign is geared to work
up to a climax in July. They re-
called that sales were running about
$500, ,000, 900 a month in March and
April, and that quotas of $500, ,000,-
600 for May and $500. .000, 900 for
June were established merely to
show the stepup needed to meet the
real goal of $1,000, 900 900 a month
beginning in July.
Treasury planners said they were

Treasury Reported Unlikely
To Reach June Bond Goals
Full July Quote Expected to Prove
Value Of Voluntary Plan, However

confident of making the July quota,
and hence would make no apologies
for the smaller June sales.
Heart of the campaign for July
and following months is the payroll
savings plan. In nearly every busi-
ness ONCE or factory. "minutemen"
are going around asking people to
authorize the deduction of at least
10 per cent" Of their pay checks to
be used to buy war bonds.
With totals climbing daily, these
written commitments assure sales Of
about 100000, 900 a month, at last
reports. To these purchases are ex-
pected to be added many more hum
dreds of millions of dollars of sales
to persons not using the payroll de-
duction plan to investors and others.
At stake in the July sales will be
the principle Of voluntary bond pur-
chases. Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau has advised Congress
on several occasions that July sales
would test the feasibility of contin-
uing the voluntary system. Several
officials and Congress members have
urged compulsory purchases.

Assisted by large numbers of stu
dents, farm women and others not
regularly engaged in agriculture,
farmers in most parts of the country.
the Agriculture Department reported
yesterday, are making good progress
with crops despite the loss of thou
sands of regular workers to the
armed forces and war industries.
The department estimated that
1877 900 persons were employed on
farms on June !. This was 232 900
greater than a year ago. A larger
percentage of those employed, how
ever, were inexperienced and family
workers.
Farm wage rates were said to be
about 20 per cent higher than a
year ago
The department said farm opera
tions in some sections of the North
west had been delayed as result
of heavy rains, but jobs requiring
the greatest amount of labor-such
as harvesting truck crops and early
fruits, nav cutting and cotton chop
ping-quite generally were on sched-
ule.
TO accomplish this, extraordinary
efforts were required of farmers and
public agencies to recruit and enlist
all necessary manpower," the de-
partment said. The end of the
spring school term made thousands
of students available in many States
by June /. Some townspeople, also,
assisted in the harvest. Closer plant
ing on the part of farmers has helped
to make better use of the labor
supply
The department said that it now
appeared probable that employment
on farms during the remaining half
OF this year might not be signifi-
cantly less than employment during
the corresponding months of last
year.
