STEEL:
Peak Output

Hitting its peak in March before
gradually leveling off, U. S. steel
production for 1914 reached a record
80, 400, 900 tons of ingots and castings,
30 per cent over maximum output in
World War and IL times over
Axis Europe's probable turnout last
year.
Because of the industry's heavy
output during the first part of the
year, it was able to top 1943 produc-
ton by 100000 tons. Output in the
last part of the year dropped more
than 600, 900 tons over the same Pc
riod in 1913.
Despite higher production, earn
ings, after taxes, for 1914 probably
will approximate ITO million dollars,
compared with POI million in 1943,"
spokesman for the industry said.

LABOR:
STAY in Unions

Apparently sold on the strength of
organization in the achievement of
better working conditions, the great
majority of union people have re-
tanned their membership when given
the chance to quit, the U. S. bureau
of labor statistics reported.
Covering 81 plants and $4,000
union members, the BIS discov-
cred that only 395 of these workers,
or less than l per cent, withdrew
from labor organizations during the
15-day period allowed for such
action before maintenance of mem
bership contracts went into effect.
Industries covered by the BIS
study included shipbuilding and
ship repair, textile, radio, auto
parts, chemical, electrical ma
chinery, steel products, transporta-
ton equipment, and tobacco.

NATIONAL INCOME :
Record Level

With wartime economic activity
reaching its peak early in the year.
the total of goods and services pro-
duced and income received in 1914
set all-time records, the U. S. de-
partment of commerce reported. At
the same time, the department stat
ed that activity in 1945 can be ex-
pected to level off.
Value Of goods and services of 1914
approximated 1877 billion dollars
compared with 1915 billion dollars in
1889, the department said, while in
come received by individuals for
crops, wages, salaries, dividends, in
terest, social security and military
dependency reached 1855 billion dol
lars against 70.8 billion in 1889. Farm
income alone totaled over 20 billion
dollars.
Of 1877 billion dollars in goods and
services produced in l944-85 billion
dollars were for war; 96.6 billion
dollars for consumer spending; Is
billion dollars for governmental nom

Lucky Winnie

Having come to Greece to I'M
tangle the knotty political problem
in that embattled country standing
athwart Britain's Mediterranean life
line, Prime Minister Winston Chur-
chill twice cheated death in Athens
within week.
First, caches Of explosives were
found in a sewer below Britain's
headquarters where Churchill was
expected to visit, and then a sniper's
bullet whistled past the prime min
lister and struck woman 800 yards
away as he was entering the British
embassy.
That Lucky Winnie's presence in
Athens served to force settlement
of the Greek political crisis was seen
in the report that the radical and
conservative elements had, agreed
upon the formation of a mixed coun-
Gil to rule the country in behalf Of

PACIFIC:
Philippine battle-ground

Though Leyte and Samar island
have been lost, and U. S. troops
speeded conquest of Mindoro, the
japanese indicated their determine
ton to fight to the last ditch in the
Philippines and make the gangling
archipelago the battle-ground of de-
cision in the Pacific.
Even as War Minister Sugiyama
urged that the issue be decided in
the Philippines, BIG Superb Fort
resses roared over Tokyo, smashing
aircraft factories, refineries and
docks, and continuing their sus-
tanned drive to seriously impair the
delivery of war material to enemy
forces in the field.
In addressing the Japanese diet,
Sugiyama called upon the nation to
initiate the sacrificial spirit of the
kamikaze fliers, who, he said, would
yet win the war with their suicidal
dives into opposing ships and install
lations.
No less than 10000 japanese
were killed in the 67-day U. S.
conquest Of Leyte, featured by a
climactic north, south and east
pincer squeeze on the enemy after
he was cornered on the northwest
ern tip of the island.

MONTGOMERY WARD:
u. S. in Again

The governments second seizure
Of Montgomery Ward, unlike the
first, headed for settlement in court
as the U. S. again took over the
huge corporation on charges that
its disrespect of War Labor board
orders threatened vital war pro-
duction.
With the legality of the second
seizure scheduled for judicial re-
view, the government commended
that Montgomery Wards impor-
lance in the war effort was at
tested by it's sale of farm machinery
and supplies and manufacture of
military products, while the COM
pany replied its major operations
did not directly affect the war and
it would be unconstitutional to &C.
cept the War Labor boards order
for closed shop denying individual
workers the right to decide on join
ing a union.
In filing suit in court for affirma-
ton of its right to take over Mont
gomery Ward, the government de-
clared that the company's persistent
refusals to abide by War Labor
board settlements led other parties
to defy WLB directives and threat
ened wave of strikes and lock-
outs.
