Money VS.. Supplies
Manufacturers of consumers
goods are now receiving some
small increase in materials but
this will not relieve the pre-Christ-
mas inventory situation. Consum-
ers' durable goods are way down.
All kinds of merchandise are diff
cult to replace Anyone, for inst
ance. trying to buy miscellaneous
household furnishings knows this.
For the last month OF record in
New York City, sales OF furniture
were up nine per cent over a year
ago, but inventories were down 80
per cent. ANY increase in the
manufacture of consumers goods
will not be felt for some months.
For some time. consumers will have
plenty of money to spend, but mer-
chants will continue to have trou-

Customers must now buy what

American family has scarcely felt
any wartime Inconvenience com
parable TO those existing in other
countries at war This is because
we have been living upon inven-
tories. These inventories are now
running out. Labor shortages and
military demands for requirements
will prevent civilian supplies from
being built up. Customers for
many lines of consumers goods
may be decidedly out OF luck.
The outlook for toys is tough
no metal nor soft wood. Children's
clothes are really scarce. This is
due partly to an increase in the
birth rate and partly TO the fact
that manufacturers can get more
money out OF other lines. Shoes
are being affected by the leather
shortage. Cobblers are doing Il
big business but have difficulty
finding workers. Furniture inven-

quality. -'he output OF personal
items such as razor blades. needles

is rising.
More Tight Items
Radio tubes are in almost uni.
versal use. More are being manu-
featured than ever before. but civil
llans will get few of them. Few
new radio sets are being made
and inventories OF pre.war models
are about exhaused. Housewives
are limited in their use OF certain
electric light bulbs. Essential re.

Put Off With Move
For Third Indictment
Justice Adkins Denies
Motion for Release
OF Several Defendants

ments charging various persons with
conspiring to undermine the morale
OF the armed forces probably will

ings on objections to the second of

Tense counsel announcing that the
next move is up to the Government.

Hilton Jackson. counsel for Defend
ant Gerald B. Winrod. who was

third indictment from the April
grand jury. ..
Mr.. Jackson told the court that
the defensn has no suggestions or
proposals to make with respect to
pending indictments and the pro-
ceedings yet to be disposed of re-
iating to these indictments, no re-
quest to make with respect to a pos
sible trial on one or both of the
pending indictments and asked the
court to release the defendants in
view OF the Governments an
nounced effort to secure a new in
dictment.
Justice Adkins denied this request
but entertained various motions re-
questing reduction of bond for sew
eral OF the defendants. He will
hear arguments next Friday on
request by counsel for Hans DiebeI
that he be allowed to return to the
custody Of military authorities as
an informed German alien.
