RETAIL TRADE IMPROVES

AS retail trade swings into the fall season
growing optimism is becoming evident
among store executives in many of the larger
cities. During the past two weeks sales COM
parisons with last year have shown marked
Improvement and it is now the popular be-
lief among merchants that fall and winter
sales will put definite end to the downward
trend established late last year. There is no
doubt in the minds of trade observers that
retail trade suffered heavily from the unus-
ual heat and humidity during the summer.
During the last month three all-time records
for high temperatures were established.
A week ago the first comparative sales
increase was seen in stores here since the
week ended May IA. Sales last week are ex-
pected to be close to those during the CORE
spending. week last year. Retailers in gen.
eral are beginning to believe that more en-
couraging sales trend is beginning.
One leading retailer pointed out that
prior to the war the greatest percentage of
the years sales were concentrated in the per-
iod between August and the end of January.
He explained, however, that shortages and
other abnormal conditions in retailing fore
ed much more closely balanced division of
sales during recent years. This year the pat
tern may be swinging back, he added, and
light spring sales may be compensated for
by an extremely good fall and winter season.
Milford merchants are rejecting this op-
timism and are preparing for big fall and
winter business. 1t will be to your advantage
to watch their offerings in their advertising
now appearing in the Chronicle.

The big brass Of our armed
forces are encouraging. They tell US
that despite the 20 million men
Stain could muster for his armed
forces, he does not want war. They
also tell us that. should war come.
our superior air equipment and our
atomic bomb would win such a
war, that Russia does not have the
atomic bomb or airplane in which
to transport it. Western Europe,

BUSINESS ON THE UPGRADE

Business Week, in one of it's recent issues,
said, "The six-month slide in business has
ended. =. It's evident that vigorous up
ward movement is underway. The real ques-
tion becomes: Is business going to climb back
onto the upward slanting plateau of full en-
ployment it occupied from mid-1946 until
the end of 1948? Or are we seeing nothing
more than brief rally, after which business
activity will again begin to sag? Whether or
not it's just rally or real recovery, the
upturn has now gained so much momentum
that it's hard to see how it can fail to carry
through most of the remaining months of
l949." The magazine goes on to point out
that the year-end will be crucial period At
that time, according to the forecasts, exports
will drop, automobile sales-which have been
very important factor in keeping business
and employment in many fields at high levels
will probably slacken to some degree, and
spending by industry on new plants will be
down. The hope is that the low in spending
in these directions will be made up by an
increase in others. At any rate, Business
Week cites number of signs which indicate
that business is now pulling out of the spring
slump. Steel production has again risen
Electric power output, always one of the best
business barometers, has also gained. So have
rail shipments of manufactured articles. Tex

LAST MILE


Herbert Hoover, the only living ex-presi-
dent of this nation, has warned that we are
blissfully driving at top speed down the back
road to collectivism. He said: eve are on
the last mile-you must give it thought"
Collectivism is the most insidiouS of all eco
nomic diseases-it can make fatal headway
before the victim knows just what is hap
pening. 1t begins with excessive taxation
which, in effect, confiscateS much of the saw
ings and earnings of the people. And it is
always advanced by appealing schemes
whereby the government will assume more
and more responsibility for the welfare" of
each individual, and more and more power is
concentrated in the grasping hands of an
expanding bureaucracy. That, as Mr.. Hoo
yer said is precisely what is happening
here. We are carrying onerous taxes and, in
spite of them, we are running huge govern
ment deficits. Every effort to reduce the cost
of government, and to do away with waste
and duplication and overlapping of bureaus
and administrators, is met with fierce re-
sistance. Then, following the collecticist pat
tern, we are being sold the welfare state"
If the highest officials of our government
have their way, we shall be forced to accept
an enormously costly scheme for compulsory
government health insurance-which is
polite phrase for political medicine. We shall
have cradle-to-the-grave social security"
Individual responsibility and reliance will be-
come things of the past. We shall pay for
these doubtful blessings to the tune of tens of
billions. So we have come to the last mile.
The greatest question of the day is whether
we shall have the courage to stop in time.

Congress Urged 10 Bar
Furnishing Of CrommeIin
BY the Associated Press

Representative Latham, Re-
publican of New York, said today
Congress should not allow Capt
John G. Crommelin to be pun

ters critical of national defense.
Release of the letters led to the
current congressional study OF
Navy morale and administration

act and Navy morale.
1T is unthinkable,"' Mr.. Lat
ham said in a statement for the
Congressional Record, that any
American should have his career
destroyed, who in response to that
obligation of duty has coura-
geously revealed pertinent infor-
nation of a secret nature be-
cause of deep conviction that
this will strengthen the security
of his country. To permit any
such thing would be a violation
of every concept of decency and
fair play.
Particularly is this true where
the man so threatened. Capt. John
Crommelin, USN., is one of Amer
ica's foremost combat heroes, who
has personally felt the scourge OF
enemy fire, and is one Of five
brothers who fought gallantly in
the last war and from which two
who were naval aviators, did not

Virginia Medical Unit
Tables Reciprocity
Plan for D. {. Doctors
SpeeiaI Dispatch TO The Stor

OLD POINT COMFORT, Va,
Oct. 12.-The Medical Society of
Virginia has pigeon-holed a
Northern Virginia proposal that
Washington doctors be permitted
to practice in this State on re-
ciprocal basis.
The society's House of Dele
gates yesterday referred to it's
Legislative Committee the plan
which would eliminate $, special
license requirements for non-State
doctors, and thus end a contro-
versy on the Potomac.
The Legislative Committee is
not expected to meet in time to
submit proposals to the 1850 ses-
sion of the General Assembly, &C
cording to DR.. j. w. Love of Alex
andria. Nevertheless, DR.. Love
said, Northern Virginia legislators
have stated they will move to
amend the law when they go to
Richmond in January.
Under existing Virginia law,
Washington doctors are supposed
to pay $50 fees for the right of
treating patients in Virginia. The
law has never been enforced
strictly. g..
Virginia doctors are permitted
to treat patients in the District of
Columbia by paying 81 fees for
"borderline certificates.
AS protest against the Vir-
glnia requirement, the District
Board of Licensure recently can
celed blanket 81 certificates. 1t
withdrew the cancellation tempo
rarily to give the Virginia Legis-
lature chance to act on reci-
prpcity proposals.
Northern Virginia doctors hoped
to get favorable action by the
Medical Society of Virginia to
strengthen the chances of getting
an amendment from the legisla-
ture.
A committee report recommend
ing that the State and local medi-
cal societies admit qualified Negro
physicians to memberships was
voted down by a narrow margin
yesterday by the House of Dele
gates of the Medical Society.

Steel Workers Given
Promise Of Early
Victory by Murray
By the Assoeioied Press

PITTSBURGH. Oct. 12.-Philip
Murray says the Nationwide steel
strike will end soon-with COM
plete victory for his men in their
fight for free pensions and inSur-
ance.
Il assure you that before very
long we will all be happy" Mr..
Murray said in a fighting address
at Youngstown, Ohio. 1t was his
first talk of pep tour to take
him to several of the Nations
steel centers.
There was no reply from in
dustry to Mr.. Murray's optimism
Or to his charges industry had
forced 454,000 of his men to strike.
The Federal Cancellation Serv-
ice went ahead setting up separate
meetings with union and top in
duStry leaders in an effort to end
the strike. The first session is
scheduled with Bethlehem Steel
Corp. tomorrow at New York.
Says Stocks Are Small.
Meanwhile, Iron Age, the ma
tional metal-working weekly, says
If real collective bargaining does
not take place soon, the country
can look, for one of the worst
tieups in its history because
1t will knock recovery efforts of
the economy into a cooked hat"
Iron Age said steel stocks are
generally smaller than had at
first been estimated. It added that
close checking indicated few big
fabricators will be able to operate
more than 80 days without cur
failing production.
The fabricators, employing a.
half million steel workers, are
threatened by strikes starting
Saturday. Their contracts begin
running out then, continuing un-
til mid-December.
Harvester Lays OF 5000
Even as Mr.. Murray was speak
ing to $4,000 cheering strikers
yesterday, the International Har-
vester Co. laid off about $500 en-
ployees at its Chicago Mccormick
plant because of depleted steel
supplies. That brought the total
of men idle in related industries
to more than 50.o00-including
4l.000 on coal and steel-hauling
railroads.
The Milwaukee Railroad an
nounced it is temporarily reducing
some of its passenger train serv-
ice to conserve coal.
Mr.. Murray pulled out all the
stops in his speech. Some of his
remarks,
II have met more hypocrites
since the start Of this fight than
have ever met in all my life.
Anybody who wants to be
against me can be against me and
I'll beat him in the end.
Are old people to be thrust
into the poor house or on the in
dustrial scrap heap and left to
die in poverty and misery?"
In the audience were elderly
steelworkers each displaying in his
lapel a sign which said:
"I need a pension"

interest" in the current steel
strike.
In statement issued by the
Americans for Democratic Action,
the political group urged the in
dustry to accept the report of a
presidential finding board as
a basis for ending the walkout.
The statement, signed by "a
persons including 13 members of
the House and Senate, said that
if the strike is prolonged 1T will
surely lead to an aggravated and
accelerated trend toward depres-
sion levels"
