head As result many industrial buyers have been following cautious hand-to-mouth buying policy, limiting the volume of orders and working off inventories of high priced goods. That practice leads to reductions in manufacturing operations, and con- sequent dismissals layoffs and parttime employment for factory workers
 Although lack of confidence in the stability of the price structure has accelerated the current busi- downturn, the situation today differs in important respects from that prevailing at the beginning Of previous major Impressions For instance, the Federal Reserve Board reports that the value of department store sales increased than seasonaly in April and the first half of May. Allowing for the later date of Easter this year, sales only per cent below the high level of year ago Furthermore, since retail prices somewhat lower unit sales of goods showed little change compared with year ago.
 Apparently recent drops in stock is just matter of business speculation and that is all, and we'll sit tight and watch the outcome.

BUSINESS JITTERS

The sinking spell during recent days of stock market prices coincident with further drop in steel output and in grain and other commodity prices brings predictions of to come. Yet an objective ex- animation current price and production ndices does not seem to warrant pessmism about the business outlook. The fear of a slump rivaling that of the thirties or the sharp price collapse that followed World War I appears to be based on the assumption that because past booms have been followed by bsts the cycle certain to be repeated This is super ficial judgment as the belief that the country can be safeguarded against future setbacks by Govern ment price supports and the stimulatve effect of Government spending.
 Undoubtedly the price downturn has failed so far to stimulate an expansion of buying to the extent hoped That is due to considerable extent how ever to widespread belief that further declines lie

WOMEN BoTANETs lI.ia LEAVE ON MONTHS Y
 TRIP TO INFERIOR

Off for a months botanical ex- petition to collect Alaskan speci- mems for the Juneau Botanical Club herbarium, and for noted totanists stateside, are four local women.
 Mrs. Harry Stonehouse, Mrs. V. F. Williams and Miss Christine Heller left aboard the Denali on Monday for Haines to be joined by Mrs. J. O. Rude who plans to fly to Haines tomorrow. T
 They plan to drive their car, shipped to Haines aboard the Denah, over the Haines Cutoff and the Alaska Highway to the Interior. Ef Although the women have gone on individual botanizing trips be- fore, this is their first try at an extended field trip. There will be no hotel living for the travellers during their tour. They plan to camp out for the month.
 From Fairbanks they plan to go to Circle and Livingood and then back to Fairbanks to take off for Valdez with a side trip to Chitna. At Tok Junction they will cut off to Nebesna and then return to Tok to return down the highway to Haines.
 Mrs. Williams, who is preparing book on Alaska wild flowers for publication, will gather material for her manuscript, including camera shots of Alaskan flowers for illus trating purposes.
 Requests for Botanical informa- tion on Alaska have come from Dr. Eric Hutton of Sweden, Dr. J. P. Anderson of Iowa, Dr. Carleton Ball of Washington, DC, and Dr. Florence Paulser of the University of chicago. Juneau's women botanists will gather information to forward to these scientists on their return.

in time of war, the nations entire economy will depend on having enough tankers to bring in foreign oil. If the tankers are under a foreign flag, however, the United States loses control.
 But since operation under the Panamanian flag means less taxes and lower wages, Max Truitt went to bat for Standard Oil. He pro- posed that Standard Oil register under the Panamanian flag six modern tankers built since 1922; and threatened that, if this was not accepted by the Maritime Commits sion, four tankers now building would not be registered under the Stars and Stripes.
 .'The Standard Oil Company, 7 wrote Truitt, will have fou) tankers which it desires to place under American flag and registry, to be manned with citizen person. ,el, provided it is permitted to transfer to Panamanian flag and registry the equivalent carrying capacity of used tankers.
 "The company therefore suggests continued Truitt, that the Con- mission reconsider it's action =. by which it declined to approve the application to transfer to foreign flag and registry the vessels above named, and desires to point out that (otherwise) this will re- suit in the loss of the newer tank CTS to the American Merchant Ma rine and the national defense pro- gram"
 The sVice Presidents son-in-law used to be general counsel of the Maritime Commission, later was a full -fledged commissioner. Never theless, his former colleagues did not relish Maxs squeeze play re- garding oil tankers.

ACTING GOVERNOR CLEARS ANY DOUBTS
 ABOUT WELFARE FUNDS

Believing that a former public servant has been maligned, at least by inference, Acting Governor Lew M. Williams today made a state ment of special interest to readers of two ether Alaska newspapers. An editorial titled Coming Out In Open," which originated in the Fairbanks Miner and was reprinted in the Ketchikan Daily News, is the basis for his comment, This edi- torial places Russell Maynard, for mer director of the Alaska Depart ment of Public Welfare, in the company of other Territorial off cials in whose offices have been found irregularities in the handling of public funds.
 The acting governor has this to say:
 "As far as Russell Maynard and his office are concerned, everything was in Al order, and compiled fully with the laws pertaining to public welfare and to the regula- tions established by his board.
 "The board itself, before accepting his resignation, had two of the au- ditors now conducting the Territor- ial audit cover the accounts of the Public Welfare office. They stat- ed to the board that they found everything in order and as it should be-
 At no time during the eight years of MT. Maynard's tenure Ill office, has there been any question relating to the accuracy of his &C., counts.
 Personal differences between MT. Maynard and certain members of the Legislature, and certain mem- bers of the board prompted his resignation, He felt that, in view
 of this personal criticism, it would be best to step aside after his long tenure of office"

PENSION PREDICTIONS

Those interested in higher pen sions and more social security benefits can figure that it's sa1e prediction Congress will split 50- 50 with President Truman on his plea to put 20,000,000 more people on Social Security rolls. In other words, Congress will cut the figure to 1o,0O0,000
 The 10,00G,000 new Social Security beneficiaries will include self-em- , ployed workers (salesmen number ing almost 7000,00o), permanent do- mestic servants and other smaller employee groups.
 On the other hand, Truman's re- quest for inclusion of all types of farm employees, members of the armed services and casual domes- tic servants will be rejected.
 The pension retirement age will he kept at 65 years for men, but dropped to 60 for women.
 Hottest controversy when the Ways and Means Committee starts voting behind closed doors on Tru- mans Social Security reforms will be over his request that minimum pensions for retired workers with dependents be raised from $10 a month to S25 and that maximum pensions be raised from $82.50 to $50.
 Insiders believe the minimum S25 pension will be voted, but that the new maximum pension will be clcs- CT to $100 than $150
 To help finance these benefits. the present aggregate payroll tax of per cent on employer and em- ployee will be raised to per cent (that is, F per cent additional on both employer and employees ef- fective January l, 1850

BaRKLEY's sON-IN-LAW

Washington's sanctimonious news men say it shouldn't be written about, merely be buzzed about at Washington dinner tables. However, one of the political misfortunes oi Washington is the manner in which the Vice Presidents son-in-law Max Truitt, is cashing in on Alben Barkley's fine name.
 Truitt is an able, likeable law partner of ex-Attorney General Ho- mer Cummings. Both get plenty of law practice on their own. How ever, since his father-in-law be- came Vice President of the United States, Truitt's law business has expanded so the clients almost jos tie each other getting inside the door.
 In addition, young Truitt is not too selective. On his list are the three chief dictators of the Latin world-Franco of Spain, Trujillo of the Dominican Republic, and indi- rcctly, through the largest Argen- tine shipping company, Peron of Argentina.
 Tn fairness to the Vice President, it should be noted that he is fre- ouently on the opposite side of the fence from his son-in-law. When Truitt was retained by the tidelands oil lobby, Barkley fought on the Senate floor to kill the tidelands oil bill. Also, when Truitt regis tered as the paid agent of Dictator Franco and lobbied for his full recognition, Barkley was known pri- yately to oppose such recognition.

TO STRING BEADS?
from Mrs, T. B. S., Washington

from Mrs, T. B. s., Washington.
Ladies: Are you having trouble
stringing beads on your crochet
thread for beaded bags? Well, SO
was I until I made this discovery.
Cut a fine point on your thread,
then brush lightly with colorless
nail polish; wipe off the excess
gently and let dry. You will find
as I did that even the beads with
the minutest holes can be strung
in this fashion.
I had previously discarded
literally hundreds of beads that
simply wouldn't be strung any
other way and consequently lost
interest in the bag every time a
new batch of beads was needed.
You may have to renew the paint
once in a while.
