WASHINGTON (LPA) =
The belief that in order to
head off a depression federal
spending should now be in
creased, rather than curtailed
as proposed by the economy
bloc in Congress, is growing
among labor and lib era
economists.
The primary purpose of the
, full employment law enacted
in 1916 was to provide the
machinery for looking ahead
and taking the action neces-
sary to head off depressions.
The authors of that law be-
lieved it would be possible
for economists to see economic
danger signs in time to take
action and prevent depres-
sions, rather than waiting to
interrupt (which proved so
difficult to do in the last de-
preston.
Many labor and Ii b r a /
economists believe such dang
err signs are now appearing on
the economic horizon - and
that unless proper corrective
action is taken promptly the
present minor recession may
develop into a major one. AS
New Deal economist Seymour
Harris, professor of economics
at Harvard, phrases it, the
problem today is to prevent
small decline from snow
balling into large one"
There are many danger sig
nails apparent to the econo-
mists. Industrial output is de-
clining, unemployment is ris-
ing, the backlog of orders in
the great steel industry is de-
clining, private construction is
slowing down, and a general
business contraction seems to
be underway. But what con-
Germs the labor and liberal
economists most is evidence
that consumer income and
consumer spending are on the
decline.
The Commerce Department
last week said developments
in the early part of this year
clearly indicated the first
genuine weakening in con-
sumer demand" since the war.
The May 'Survey of Current
Business" showed consumer
buying was down by $4,000
100000 on an annual basis
and consumer income was
down about ST. 200, 900, 900.

Public Housing Over
Another Hurdle
Public housing was nearing 1t:
final legislative vote. The Sen
ate Taxation Committee, in Z
short and swift session, approved
companion bills necessary to al,
low public housing in Ohio by g
z to / vote. The committee rode
rough-shed over all real estate
lobby attempts to amend the
bills to death.
Both bills were scheduled fol
floor action next week in the
Senate and hopes were high that
Ohio would become the last
state in the Union to okay public
housing as an answer to a tre-
mendous problem.
Important Bill Bottled Up
Since March IL, one Labor
backed bill has remained bottled
up in the House Rules commit
tee. H.B. 1893, which sets up the
eight-hour day for wor kin G
w m n and children, sailed
through committee h e a r n & S,
over the opposition of the Cham
ber of Commerce, Retail Mer-
chants Association and tn e r
satellites.
But since being reported out
for passage, the bill, which car
ries the names of Francis Sulli-
van 3D., Cuyhoga), Ann Ryan
3D., Stark and Frank King
3D., Lucas), has languished in
the rules committee. In a nut
she'll, the bill restores the law,
badly battered by the last Re-
oublican-dominated Legislature,
TO its pre-war stature and ends
the 9-hours day.
Talk around the Legislature
was that 81 bor has had

being stymied because no more
L Dor supported bills were
scheduled for approval. Un-
doubtedly, the decision will be
made next week and Labor was
watching H.B.- .-399 carefully -
determined that such badly
needed legislation wouldn't be
buried alive by powerful COM
nittee.

Early, Favorable FEPC

Likelihood of an early (prob-

might have been expected, the
four Democrats - S n a o S
How ID Metzenbaum (Cuya-

Ed Wilmer stark and Morton

firm for good, enforceable

AS might equally have been
expected, the Republicans, Sen

clear that COP sabotage at

still faces FEP C proponents

Okay. Suppose after cutting
through all the red tape. play
er is classed as a bonus per-
former. What happens then?
First of all, the player is to
be. known as a bonus player the
rest of his career unless at some
time he is fired outright-given
his unconditional release.
The player has to be kept
by the major league team un-
less he is fired, Or unless his
team wants to ask waivers on
him.
To ask waivers means to an
nounce to the other Is major
league teams that the player is
for sale for $4,000. The last
place team in the same league
gets first chance. Then the
seventh-place team and on up
to the f1rst-place club. Then
the eight clubs in the other
league get a chance in the same
order.
If nobody wants the guy, his
club then can send him to a
minor league.
If somebody says "Wen take
him." the club has to let him go.
With any other player the club
could change its mind and re-
move him from the waiver list.
In other words. no matter
what youngsters present abil-
it. the major league team must

Leonard finally was presented with
a few runs today and he made
them suffice to give the Chicago
Cubs a 5-4 victory over the Gin
cinnati Reds before a gathering

Two errors by Grady Hatton

runs out of a cluster of three
in the third inning. In the fifth
they tailed another pair. Hank
Sauer doubled. Herm Reich and
Roy Smalley singled and then
Reich scored on a double steal
for what proved the decisive tally.
Leonard yielded eight hits, one
of which was Walker Cooper's
10th homer. It was his fifth vic
tory and his first at Wrigley Field
this season. HoWie Fox suffered
his 18th defeat.
