Industrial Production
Near Peace Record
Reserve Board SAYS
BY the Associated Press

Industrial production in May
climbed within l per cent of the
peacetime record set at the height
of the 1948 boom. the Federal
Reserve Board reported today.
1t figured that June output
should go even higher, if present
trends are sustained.
A preliminary estimate by the
board, given to the Senate House
Economic Report Committee
showed May production at 1913 per
cent of (meaning SO per cent
above) the 1858 monthly
average.
That was two points higher than
the board anticipated in an initial
figure May 81, and it indicated
the biggest volume of industrial
production since the 1875 turnout
of October November. 1948.
The new estimate for May re-
f1ected a 2 per cent rise from
April and a 20 per cent recovery
from the low mark Q6D of last
July, the trough of the 1949 "re-
cesSion."
Gains in May and early June
were produced by a further up
surge in production of durable
goods. plus a marked recovery in
output of such minerals as iron
ore and oil.
There also was small gain IN
production of non-durable goods
notably textiles, paper, rubber
and chemical products.

Huge Cloud Covers
Part of Pacific;
Origin Is Mystery
BY me Assoeiased Press

HONOLULU, June IA vast
cloud of mysterious origin has
blanketed 1900. 900 square miles OF
the Pacific. Meteorologist r. H
Simpson of the Weather Bureau
said yesterday it might last a day
or week.
At Wake Island 1000 miles west
of Hawaii. the cloudrose to $4,000
feet. At Hawaii. near the eastern
limit, it had a 7,000-foot ceiling.
What caused it? Maybe wind
blown African desert sands, MIR.
Simpson said. Or an explosive
eruption down around New Guinea.
Or-an atomic explosion.
"A concentration of ions in the
air could result in such a condi-
tion," Mr.. Simpson explained. Ions
are electrified particles Jared loose
when an atom Is split.
The Eniwetok proving grounds,
where new atomic tests are ex-
pected this summer. lie about 900

Phone Strike Victory Expected
To Effect Future Negotiations

New York LPA) - An eleven
day phone strike ended Nov. 10 in
what union leaders described as "a
magnificent victory"
The strike of 1900 workers
against the Western Electric Co
had idled 10000 phone workers
since many operators and other
Bell System employees respected
the picket lines. The Western Elec-
trio workers, mostly repairmen ano
installers, won nine to Ia cent hour
ly raises. Another 10000 phone
workers on strike against Michigan
Bell, won SO to $5 weekly raises
some departments getting SO boosts
as result of reclassifications.
Officers of Communications
Workers of America praised the
solidarity shown by CWA members
during the strike. They hailed the
15-month contract, which broke a
pattern of 18 to "a month wage
freezes throughout the Bell Sys-
tenn.
"As a result of the wonderful
stand and field work by virtually
every officer of the union, together
with the solid support of virtually
our entire membership, we have
seen the Bell System give in on
every major point in the dispute, u
said letter from the officers to
all divisions of the union.
"While this fight was fought foi
the specific benefit of our fellow
members in Divisions 6, Is, 18 and
68, the splendid demonstration of
trade unionism by those who re-
spected the picket lines cannot help
but serve as an example which the
Bell System management cannot
ignore. We are certain the splendid
demonstration of solidarity will
have its beneficial effects in all
negotiations in the future"
Experts expressed the opinion
that the new "hit and run" tech
nique used by the union was res
ponsible for the victory. Pickets
went from one phone exchange to
another instead Of maintaining a
continuous picket line. AS result,
the company found it more difficult
than usual to establish substitute
service. They never knew when
their regular operators would be
there.
In st. Louis, CWA Division 20
announced it would reopen wage
clauses ain line with the national
pattern" in its contract with South
western Bell. The current contract,
covering $4,000 workers in Miss
ouri, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma,
Kansas and part of Illinois does
not expire until next June 4, but
union officials said that initiation
brought on by the Korean war
makes wage changes necessary.

perity during the proposed base
period years" probably would pre-
fer the invested capital base.
In such a case, a corporation
would be allowed to earn an arbi-
trary maximum rate on invested
capital before an excess profits tax
could be applied. Snyder made no
specific recommendation but de-
clared the exempted percentages
in force during World War ii
should be increased. (The bigger
the corporation, the smaller the
exempted percentage of invested
capital which can be earned as pro-
fit without being subject to the ex-
cess profits taxi Snyder also sug-
gested revision of the "relief" pro-
visions of the World War ii Tax.
Synder rejected the proposals of
the Committee for Economic De-
velopment and the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers. The CED
asked for flat increase in the
corporate income tax rate. Snyder
said this would require taxing all
corporations at 81 percent tax rate
which "would accentuate the un-
even effects which the defense pro-
gram will have" and "impose par
ticular hardship on corporations
whose profits are declining" He
said he and his staff had "consid-
cred" an NAM proposal that ex-
cess profits taxing be forgotten,
the present corporate tax rate be
lowered, and a manufacturers ex-
else tax, which would fall on con-
sumers, be imposed.
The Secretary said that in ask
ing for an excess profits tax, Pres
ident Truman hoped to accomplish
three things: meet the increased
costs Of defense; check initiation
tax high profits out of the defense
program. He didn't even pretend
that he shared the Presidents de-
sires, however.
The committee voted to conclude
the hearings Nov. %, so as to be
ready to present proposal to the
House soon after Congress meets
Nov. 27. Republicans protested.
With a straight face they insisted
the committee should hear as many
as possible of the more than 200
individuals and groups who have
asked to testify.
