RICHMOND POLICE
HUNTING STABBER
CITY Posts Reward For
Assailant OF Prominent
Fine Arts Registrar

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 20 -U.D
- Police Thursday night were
questioning two suspects in the
stabbing Of a prominent Richmond
girl Tuesday night as citizens OF
the exclusive section of the city
were holding a mass meeting to
decide what course Of action
should be aiken.
The victim, Miss Anne M.
Fowlkes, "a, daughter of a Rich
mond physician, was dragged to
a secluded spot by the negro just
after she had stepped from a street
car, beat and stabbed and left her
for dead.
Meanwhile, the city and its
mayor have posted a $500 reward
for the arrest and conviction of
the assailant, and Gov. William
Tuck said that he was comforting
with the attorney general to see
if it were possible for the state
to add to the reward money.
Assailant Negro
Police said that the assailant,
a negro, ran from behind a house
in an exclusive section of Rich
mond, and grabbed Miss Fowlkes
and dragged her Is feet into a
secluded spot, beat and stabbed
her and then left her for dead.
She told police from her hospital
bed that she had just alighted

Babson Discusses Some
Trends OF Next Decade

BABSON PARK, Mass, Aug. 20
- The usual Business Forecasts
are as follows: Two or three years
of good business, carrying US TO
about 1850. after which there viii
he q severe slump. Under this
theory we could have a good STOCK
market for twelve more months;
hut the stock market usually
turns downward before business
assumption that the Democrats
will squeak through in 194S. Ii,
however, 1948 should give a Re
publican victory this should
lengthen the period of prosperity
full employment and high wages.
The above, however, Ices MOI
recognize that the whole world Is
in the throes of a peoples reVo-
luton. 1t seems that the old mar
ket rules are still reliable. TIL;
may be, or may not be, true. Per
haps. Peace Conferences may up
set business and stock market
traditions as well as political and
military. Perhaps the world Is
entering a new era such as occurs
only once in $50 years.
The fights now going on in
Paris, supplemented by fears Of
an "atomic = biologic = supersonlc-
gaseous : hemisphere Artic and
Sub-Artic war;, may bring about
a peoples World Government with
the elimination of present ire
mendous military expenditures
and unnecessary national barriers.
If so, the resulting stimulation in
foreign trade, reduction in taxa
ton, increased production, lower
world prices and better living
standards for everyone could give
us ten or twenty years OF great
prosperity.
Big Boom OF Chaos
1t is certain that there will be
no halfway program. The old ter
and twenty-year Cycle Theory car
be discarded. The business outlook
depends upon the Big Four In
Paris, and not upon Wall Street
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-08-30

Or Congress Or Labor Leaders.
Secretary Wallace talks about
Boom And Bust: I say that we
are facing either Boom Or Bust.
Secretary Wallace's advisors are
making a big mistake.
If SO, now is a time during
this international Scare" of 1916
- to buy securities as it was
smart to buy stocks during the de-
preston a 'of the 1930's"; and
again during the real estate col
lapse" of a few years ago. On
the other hand, unless the Big
Four get together to give the
people a World Government and
eliminate militarism, we are head
ed for World War III.
This could come within five or
ten years and would surely re-
suit in wiping out the big cities
of the world. Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washing
ton, Piltsburg, Buffalo, Cleveland,
Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco
and Los Angeles could be smash
ed in the first twenty-four hours
of the war. Hence, I say we are
headed either for Great Prosperity
or else Terrible Chaos.
Investors Problems
For once the people Of our small
rural communities, especially in
the South and Central West, away
from large cities, are in an envi-
able position. They need now only
invest in a diversified list Of well
selected industries which - like
certain chain store companies -
have their assets distributed in
several hundred interior commun-
tiles. Then if World Peace comes,
they should greatly profit thereby;
while if Chaos comes they will
have saved their lives.
People of large cities should also
have their funds in such securi-
ties as above outlined. These Sc
curities should be kept in atomic
bomb-proof safe deposit vaults or
else in a vault Of some safe
rural bank. Photostatic copies OF
wills and important contracts
should surely be deposited with
some safe country bank. If Chaos
comes, corporations having most
OF their assets in large cities will
greatly suffer; but securities in
dictated above should be fairly
safe.
Investors living in large cities,
however, should buy something
more than stocks and bonds. They
should now build a small house,
with land sufficient for a kitchen
garden, in some small community
in the Central West or South where
relatives or friends now live.
believe in life and fire insurance:
but the most important insurance
today for city jewellers is to learn
a trade and to have a safe refuge
to which they al run if world con-
ditions get too bad.

the view held by fair-minded and level headed industrialists who are sincerely concerned with the prob- lems to be met if an equitable ad- justment is to be made.
 Reconversion is still far behind schedule in some local plants and throughout the nation. This is due mainly to lack of desire on the part of manufacturers of many products (radio parts, refrigerator, electrical, etc) to produce at current ceiling prices and OPA restrictions. Most factories have made the physical re- adjustment of reconversion, but have yet to go into high geared pro- duction. OPA ceiling prices are the subject of strong attack by many groups although strongly supported by others. Some adjustment will be effected soon within this phase of the situation, it has been agreed.
 Locally a strong demand for brass mill products and for the many varied small products made here is prevalent. Once difficulties are iron- ed out Waterbury should enjoy pros- perity. What the New Year will bring for the city hinges on the de- cisions of management and labor leaders.
 Statements
 The statements made today to The Democrat are:
 MT. Arthur II. Quigley, president of The American Brass Co.,:
 We have very substantial vol- tune of business on our books; sufh- cient to insure operations on full time basis for some months ahead. There is an unprecedented and long accumulated demand for brass mill products and consequently we should be able to look forward to an active year"
 Charles E. Hart, president of the Chase Co.,:
 The year i946 should be a good one. There is a great demand for products of our mills and factories; but they must be produced at price that is attractive to our customers and at the same time will make 1t profitable to do business. We pro- pose to do our utmost to meet the ] situation efficiently, and most sim
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-01-01

cerely hope that price and wage controversies, which are disrupting business at present, can be settled without any loss of employment and It's resulting grief to all concerned
 American industry has made the record it has because of the efa- ciency of both labor and manage ment. If we are to retain our pre- eminence throughout the world we must all do the most efficient job we are capable of doing"
 John J. DriscolI, CIO official:
 The outlook for 1946 in Water bury's industrial relations is not clear at this time. Most manage ments with whom our union has col- lective bargaining relations seem to believes that the demand for their products will continue at a high level, so that they will be able to provide jobs for both those now working and the war veterans who are returning in ever increasing numbers.
 "Our union sincerely hopes that there will be jobs for all who wish to work; but we fear that consumer demand for the products of Water bury factories will dry up rather quickly, unless there is a general wage increase to restore the take home pay of industrial workers to at least it's war time level. We are con- vinced that when all the veterans are back, it will be necessary to pro- vide more jobs by returning to a 40 hour week. The 40 hour week has already become standard for many workers, and they find it impossible to make ends meet on 40 hour wage at existing pay levels.
 "The possibility of serious strike in Waterbury remains very strong. The unions demand for a 30 per- cent increase is not an absolutely rigid one; but without meeting any willingness on the part of manage ment to reach fair settlement on the wage issue, the union will have no other choice but to strike in sup port of its position.
 At the same time, we in the CIO are not blind to the evils which would result from a pay increase fol- lowed by a general rise in prices. We know that that would bring in- flation and ruin to many families dependent on a fixed salary or divi- dends from a modest investment. We recognize that no one group in community can prosper at the expense of others.
 "If management in Waterbury will take a similar view during the new year, we of organized labor will be more than ready to reach a peaceful settlement of this vital issue. We still have hopes that this change will take place; and that

Industrial VieuU for 1946
 Big Three, cIo Leoders Aware
 Of Complex Problems Facing Solution

Waterbury'S prospects for healthy industrial production and its par allel prosperity for the year l946 are hopeful and with promise according to local leaders of industry and unions.
 Manpower, oPA price ceilings and strikes are the three major deter rent factors toward @ healthy level of business, 1t has been agreed by all concerned. All three need com- promise, adjustment and under standing before certain degree of unhampered normal production has been atttained.
 In separate statements made to- day to The Waterbury Democrat, Arthur H. Quigley, president of the American Brass Co.,, Charles E.. Hart, president of the Chase Brass & Copper Co.,, and John J. Driscoll, Secretary-treasurer of the CIO Con- necticut Council, look hopefully to- ward prosperous l946 for their respective organizations as well as all others of the same nature.
 Hopeful New Year
 ". we should be able to look forward to an active year." MT. Quigley states in part.
 ''The year l946 should be a good one," MT. Hart says in his intro duction.
 c. we have hopes that 1946 will be a peaceful, prosperous year for the citizens of Waterbury" Mir. DriScoll states in summing up the union outlook.
 To some extent, in Waterbury, and to a great degree throughout the nation, the lag in reconverSion pro- ductivity is, in part, the result of manpower shortages or difficulties. Such industries as home furnish ings, construction, heating and air. conditioning and their component parts, foundrieS and textiles are en- countering difficulty in obtaining skilled manpower.
 Strike Situation
 Strikes are not entirely what they seem to be-generally speaking. They are, in most cases, the mani festations of unSettlement in the management-labor field and not the by-products of wild cat labor manlp- ulationS, as often observed. This is
