Virginia sBusiness
Outlook Optimistic,
Researcher Reports
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. IA
mixed tone of mild optimism and
reserved judgment is sounded as
the new year begins" with the
first half of 1850 holding greater
promise" than the latter half, says
DR.. William H. Stauffer in a dis
cussion of Virginia's 1850 eco
nomic prospects.
DR.. Stauffer, director of re-
search for the Virginia State
Chamber Of Commerce, said there
is lone salutary feature the
absence of any pronounced feel
ing that a boom prosperity lies
ahead"
Uncertainties as to govern
mental spending policies, trends
in taxes and international devel-
opments are of paramount impor-
tance among the factors that con-
dition business activity in the
days ahead" he declared.
Forecast Made After Survey.
These views were presented by
DR.. Stauffer in forecast of the
States economic life during the
coming year, prepared through
questionnaires answered by some
100 recognized leaders in Vir-
ginia's economic activities, includ-
ing agriculture, banking, manu-
featuring and recreation.
BY types of activity, DR.. Stauf-
fer forecast the following:
Agriculture-"The net position
of farmers will be somewhat less
favorable. but good profits will
nevertheless continue to be
realized"
Banking - IF wages are in
creased, savings will also increase,
but not to the extent of diminish
ing consumer buying, which lat
ter they (the bankers) anticipate
will be maintained throughout
the year in about the same volume
as in 1949."
Home Building to Hold Level.
Construction-Even keel for res
idential building, a drop in in
| dustrial an6 commercial con-
struction and an increase in
| school and institutional building
projects.
Consumer distribution - Sales
expected to be lower dollar-wise
and about the same volume wise.
Manufacturing -" Manufacture
ers are reasonably confident of
good six months ahead, but
somewhat uncertain about the
latter half of 1880"
Tourist travel "a somewhat
happier outlook ="
Transportation, utilities "The
forecast for 1850 is outwardly
good for utilities. but for trans
portation the prospect is less
rosy"

Virginia Told Not 10 Take
Camp Pickett for Traininu
BY the Associated Press


RICHMOND, Va, Jan. Gov.
Tuck has been advised by special
investigating committee that the
State should not take over Camp
Pickett as a training ground for
the National Guard because it
would cost the Commonwealth at
least 100000 every year.
In addition, the unanimous re-
port said. the Army has plans to
use the more than 47,000 acres
for summer training of National
Guard units in Virginia, West
Virginia and Maryland and for
basic training of large amphibious
forces.
Only Is or 20 days a year would
be required for Virginia National
Guard training purposes, the re-
port said, and the State would
have to pay out maintenance costs
on buildings and roads and train
ing areas which have been deter
iorating rapidly.

In the American Archivist,
the publication of the Society of
American Archivists, is a trib-
ute, written by Thad Page, to
R. D. w. Connor, who died last
February.
"As the first Archivist of the
United States, and as one of the
founders and a former president
of the Society,"" writes Mr.. Page,
''Dr. Connor contributed indis-
pensably to the development of
archival procedures and the ar
chival profession in the United
States. AS distinguished
teacher of history, and as an
author and compiler of numer-
Gus historical works, he achieved
a nationwide reputation as one
of our country's leading his
torians.
"His genial disposition, his
courtesy and cordiality, and his
genuine interest in his fellow
man attracted people to him and
acquired for him a popularity,
among all classes and types of
people, that few men have at
tanned. He possessed a dynamic
and forceful personality, yet he
was a remarkably humble and
unpretentious man. He was
strong-willed and determined,
but at the same time extremely
considerate and thoughtful of
others.
"Dr. Connor had a high COM
ception of duty and was diligent
and faithful in the discharge of
his responsibilities, yet he i'm
mensely enjoyed relaxation and
doWn-to-earth fellowship. He
was a distinguished scholar, but
ne was even more Distinguished
as a kind, thoughtful, courteous,
understanding, helpful, and low
able friend
These are excerpts from Mr..
Pages tribute. Other parts of
it tell of Mr.. Connor's career.
