Gil of economic advisers. The
council will provide much of the
basis for Mr.. Truman's economic
message to Congress next month.
Makes Two Points
In putting weather - and its
effect on crop yields - at the
top of his list of major factors
affecting the nations economy
Nourse made two other points:
l. A new wave of strikes cur
failing production, or a third
round of sizable wage increases,
could add to inflationary pres
SureS.
2. Heavy exports could make
more critical the scarcity of such
products as steel and grain, thus
adding also to initiation. The
council which DR.. Nourse heads
has advocated controls to guard
against such a possibility.
Nourse said that the nations
production rose in 1947, but he
withheld figures pending release
of Mr.. Truman's economic re-
port. However, the Commerce
Department has issued figures
to show that the "gross national
product" probably has hit a rec
ord high rate of $235, 1000, 900, 900
a year, some Is per cent over the
rate at last new years. This is,
of course, in part the result Of
higher prices.
Employment Up
AS for jobs, the United States
Employment Service has said that
employment exceeded the co.
100000 goal in 1947 and may 60
higher in 1913.
Nourse said that scarcity of
steel, railway cars, etc., may pre-
vent production from going ahead
so fast as to build up to sudden
letdowns, plant closings and lay
offs.
A modest production gain from
wear to year is desirable, he said

dead in her nursery.
Police continued to probe last
nights killing of two British SOL
diers in a Tel Aviv cafe. Eye
witnesses said the shots came
from an armored car, giving
rise to speculation that Arabs in
stolen armored vehicle might
have been the assailants. Police
sources said they believed the
Stern gang, Jewish Extremist
organization, was responsible.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26. -P)-
The stock market today suffer-
ed it's sharpest average dip since
earlv in the month although
dealings were relatively slow as
the heaviest snowstorm since the
turn of the century hit the city
and caused numerous customers
to desert Wall Street and extend
the Christmas holiday.
From the start boardrooms
were sparsely occupied and floor
traders generally accounted for
most of the selling which was
based partly on the idea the list
had already enjoyed the usual
December rally and was in line
for technical correction. OF
ferings also were attributed to a
revival of caution following the
so-called deflationary step taken
bv the Federal Reserve Board IN
apparently reducing its support
levels for government bonds.
Some replacement purchasing
bv those who had sold earlier Tor
tax purposes provided a prop for
individual issues.
Profit cashing by quick-turn
operators in the recently buoyant
rails and oils was in evidence
from the start. While scattered
pivotals emerged with good plus
signs, losses of fractions to a
point or more held a wide ma
jority at the close. Only 10000

VETO OF WOOL TARIFF BILL |5 HOPED FOR

WASHINGTON, June 2l. = R- Two more controversial bills, for which opponents have urged Presi- dential vetoes reached the White House today.
 The measures, dealing with tar ifs and price support for wool and extending rent controls, were passed after stormy Congressional debate.
 The wool bill authorizes the Presi- dent to increase wool tariffs or im- pose import limits whenever foreign wool shipments endanger the domes- tic price support program for wool. The lill extends the support pro- gram through .l948.
 The seccnd measure extends Fed- eral rent control until March l, l948. and permits an increase in rents as much as Is per cent if landlords and tenants agree on a lease running through next year.
 Rent bill proponents believe the President will sign the measure, though perhaps reluctantly, be- cause otherwise there will be no Federal controls after July 1 when the present law expires.
 The White House said the Presi- dent has until midnight, July 2, to acs on both bills.

 T am concerned that there should be people in this country, and people who profess to be So- cialists, who appear to condone things that are done by govern ments that call themselves Left when they would protest vigorously if precisely the same things were done by governments Of the Right, Attlee said in speech at Miners demonstration.
 Freedom of speech, freedom of conscience and personal freedom is the right O. the individual whether he is Capitalist or a Worker, a Conservative, Liberal or Socialist" the Premier declared.
