Tucker Says Most Important Task Is
To Prevent Letdown In Production

no reason why the economic
pattern should differ from that
of 1878, 1898, 1903. 1913, 1921.
1929 and, despite New Deal re.
covery panaceas, 1887.
In other words. they expect a
crack-up of great severity to
break on the next Presidents
time, especially if he serves for !.
eight years. President Truman
and Henry A. Wallace, albeit
perhaps for campaign reas1qs,
utted such forecasts, espe.ia-
lily if they were not elected to
run the government.
LAG But there are dissent
ers, both economic and politi-
cal, from these Cassandras and
Calamity James.
In their view, industry has ]
cut down expenditures for ex-
pansion and inventories not be-
cause of fear of the future, but
they cannot obtain steel, lum-
Der, aluminium and machinery.
Key factories, they insist, have
not yet expanded enough to sup
ply the demand for cars, homes,
refrigerators, modern kitchen
appliances and even household
furnishings.
1t will take two or three y
years, according to this analv-
sis, to make up for the construc-
ton lag that began in the early
thirties and continued during
the war save for plants engaged
in production of war weapons
and supplies.
Industry's curtailment is due
not so much to such intangible
factors as it is to fear of lack
of steel, brick, timber, trans.
portation. modern machineryI
and other materials.

90 DOES THE CAR OR THE
PEDESTRIAN HAVE THE
RIGHT-OF-WAY WHERE A
DRIVEWAY CROSSES THE
SIDEWALK?
(A) A man was backing out
of his driveway when he no.
ticed the neighbours nine-year-
old daughter approaching. The
man stopped few feet from
the sidewalk, and the girl stop
ped a few feet from the drive
way. But when the girl re-
suned her walking, the man
also resumed his backing up.
The car ran over the girl, break
ing her leg. When the man was
later sued for damages, he argu-
ed that the girl should have
waited for the car to pass. But
the court ruled that the girl
had the right-of-way, and held
the man responsible for his neg
ligence.
(Q) is A STORE TO BLAME
IF A WOMAN FALLS DOWN
THE STEPS TO THE REST
ROOM?
(A) A woman went into a
millinery shop and bought
hat. She then asked the owner
to direct her to the rest room.
The man said the store main
tanned a basement rest room for
employees only, but she could
use it if she wished. Following
his instructions, she started
down a stairway to the base
ment. The steps were 50 mar
row and the lighting was so bad
that she stumbled and fell to
the floor below. She later sued
for damages, but the court rul-
ed against her. The Judge said
she should have been doubly
careful in entering private
part of the store. He added that
the decision might have been
different if the rest room were
maintained for the use of the
general public.

SAVING Another hopeful fac
tor is that people are spending ,
less recklessly than they did du-
ring previous periods of So
called prosperity. They have
been burned so many times that
they are not throwing away
their dollars. 1t is significant
that attendance at pro football
games, night clubs and other
luxury spots shows a terrific
falling-off. The consumers
hoard still represents a stable
backlog. 4
Even if the Marshall Plan, re-
armament and military lend
lease to foreign nations create
shortages and higher prices. it
may have a constructive effect.
Folks may be forced to practice
economy, to defer purchase of
semi-luxury stuff and thus lay
by store of fresh and untapped
purchasing power for three or
four years hence. Paying debts
and saving money are the sur
est bulwarks against a collec-
tive or personal depression.

A faint unease stirred in her. Men
did not usually ride like that except
to carry bad news.
The rider drew up in front of the
post-office and flung himself from
the horse. The man was Lee Hart.
He spoke to Ellen, who had come
out to the porch.

Clever Crooks Garry On
Counterfeiting in Prison

In 1899 in Philadelphia, clever
pair of crooks, Arthur Taylor and
Baldwin Bredell, were convicted
of counterfeiting U. S. $500 bills
and then sent to Moyamensing
prison to await sentence, says
Golfers. Within several months,
the men had counterfeited and
gotten in circulation 81 excellent
$40 notes, having made them at
night in their cell with a few
smuggled-in materials and tools
which did not include a camera
but did include a printing press
no larger than cigar box.
Upon confessing later, the con-
victs re-enacted their feat before
a group of experts who had sworn
it was impossible without a cam
era and an eight-ton press IN a
stable workroom.
