Gu, ,Victory-Hungry, Clashes

Catholic Universitys lean, hungry
Cardinals will try to crash the VIC
tory column the first time this sea-
son when they collide with Loyola S
tall and talented crew at $3.50 on the
Brookland court. The Greyhounds'
recent victory over Georgetown
makes them prohibitive favorites.
Maryland, meanwhile, is slated to
meet Virginia at Charlottesville in a
game originally booked for College
Park. The teams merely switched
home dates to bring the Cavaliers to
Maryland as part of a twin bill a
week from Saturday night.
Coach Ben Zola has made couple
of changes in the C. u. lineup that
may bolster the Cards, but Loyola
appears to have too much all-around
strength.
A preliminary at tbs will pair the
sizzling st. Johns quintet against
an equally hot Central five.

then around the $40, 000, 000.0 90
mark. Whether this indicated
that manufacturers were holding
back for higher prices after
President Truman virtually wiped
out OPA, or whether consumer
demand was slackening, has not
been made clear.
Depression Talk Causes Concern
There was worry, too, that the
almost constant talk about a COM
ing depression might in itself pro-
duce one. Some businessmen
were known to figure that If the
talk continued. people might start
to tighten their belts to a point
where normal economic workings
would be dislocated.
Against all this, however was
the fact that the American bust
ness machine took all kinds of
buffeting around in 1916 and still
came out Of it in pretty good CON
dition, at least as far as earnings
and dividends were concerned.
Strikes Highest Year
The highlights of the year, of
course, were the great number
and extent of strikes and their eff

the off again, on again, off again

The General Motors strike all

OPA Confusion
What so few people realized,
except for corporation executiv-

their products because of a lack
of some essential part, was that
small and unpublicized strikes
were still continuing by the score.
At the end of May, for instance,

in 1916. called "our year of de.

Whether the clouds would

matter of conjecture, but they
certainly we're not shrinking

most of them will have happened

the last IL months.
The two principal potential
difficulties already have been
highly advertised:
l. That the fat ~insistence by
large serments of organized labor
that wages could be raised with
out increasing prices, and the flat
insistence to the contrary by
many industrialists, might RESULT
either in a second round Of strikes
or in raising prices 10 a point
where even hungry consumers
would not buy.
2. That these or other factors
might speed the widely heralded
possibility of a business depres-
sion or recession deep enough to
leave scars on the American econ
omy.
Money Still Plentiful
As 1916 ended there appeared
to be no absolute necessity and no
certainty whatever that there
would be a depression in l947.

high in most lines OF industry and
money was still plentiful.
