Third Of Families
Spend More Than
They Earned In '4S

Washington (LPA)-A third Of
all family and individual spending
units spent more than they earned
in 1913. That dramatic evidence Of
the need for better distribution Of
income TO provide the purchasing
power needed to avoid a depression
has been revealed By Federal Re-
serve survey.
Those who spent more than they
earned came to 81 per cent; anoth-
er per cent used up all their
spending power, but did not go into
debt because in most cases they
had no credit. Yet it is among the
middle and lower income brackets
that mass purchasing power must
originate if we are to consume the
goods and services our mass pro-
duction industries turn out.
These figures strongly back up
the demand Of labor and govern
ment economists for expanded pur-
chasing power in the lower and
middle income groups. Ever since
the postwar initiation started the
Presidents Council Of Economic
Advisers has been warning Of the
need for such expansion if purchas-
ing power is to be sufficient to buy
the goods produced by American
industry without widespread unem-
ployment.
The Federal Reserve survey
showed that while corporations
were making record breaking pro-
fits of more than $4,000, 900, 900
in 1913, low and middle income
families were having a harder and
harder time making ends meet.
Thirty-eight per cent of the fam
lilies and individual spending units
under $1,000 a year spent more
than they took in, while another 27
per cent just managed to break
even. Only a third were able to
save anything. This was far worse
than the year before, when only
rs per cent spent more than they
made.
In the income group between
$1,000 and $4,000, 81 per cent of the
spending units spent more than
they took in, and another 9 per
cent just broke even. Spending be-
yond income was not confined to
the lower income groups, however,
but went well up the income scale
throughout the middle income
brackets.
The Federal Reserve researchers
reported that the number of fam
lilies spending more than they took
in had jumped steadily since the
end of the war, and most sharply
since 1916, when the initiation be-
gan to get out of hand. 1t was most
severe among families in which in
comes had been rapidly changing,
rather than those where incomes
had been stable.
Most of the families which spent
more than they took in during 194S
were not going into debt, but using
up past savings. This indicates
strongly that spending among these
groups will drop unless there is a
better distribution of income in
the future. Many of these families
in 1948 were still using up savings
accumulated during the war, when
the distribution of savings was
much more balanced.
The number of spending units
which spent more than they earned
in 1948 was 15,500,000. Altogether,
they spent about $12,000,0O0,00
more than they earned, indicating
the rapidity with which they are
using up past earnings. The rest
of the spending units saved total
of $4,000, 100000, but most of it
was in the top five per cent income
units.

WHAT TO DO TO WIN

Here's how you take part in this big opportunity! Every issue this newspaper will publish Alaskagrams in consecutive order, six each week for 12 weeks-a total of 72 Alaska grams.
 Each Alaskagram is a group of scrambled letters which form mean ingless words or nOnsensical phrase. After an Alaskagram is unscrambled the letters form the name of place in Alaska; how ever, there is one superfluous letter -an extra, additional letter which is not needed to form the word.

All you do is re-arrange the let ters to form a single word which is the name of place in Alaska, and you also show which is the extra letter. For example, the phrase FOR A CHANGE" when it is un- scrambled equals ANCHORAGE" plus the extra letter F.
 Just remember that all place names consist of only one word and remember to show the extra letter. There is only one correct answer to each Alaskagram.

Chang Halls Attacks
On Red China After
Promise Of U. 5. Help
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

TAIPEI, Formosa, June 28.-
China's Nationalists. assured that
the United States 7th Fleet will
protect Formosa, today ordered
their planes and warships to
halt attacks on the Communist
mainland
Thus an uneasy truce prevails
in the civil war. The Communists
are free to violate it, but only at
the risk of a clash with the war
ships, jet fighters and bombers
of the 7th Fleet.
The ceaSe-fire in no way affects
the Nationalist guerrillas on the
mainland. They have been re-
ported increasingly active in the
south and east. For the time
being they carry the burden of the
struggle.
Acted After COnfab.
The Nationalists acted after
Chang Kai-shek conferred this
morning with Gen. Chou Chih-
.iou, chief of the Chinese joint
general staff, and other high Of
ficers.
1t was emphasized that the
cease-f1re is temporary measure.
The Nationalists do not consider
that it ties their hands perma-
nently. They have vowed to carry
the war back to the mainland.
The American note, in which
President Truman said the
7th Fleet would protect For
mosa against invasion and called
on Chang to order case fire, ar
rived last night.
United States Charge dAffaires
Robert Strong took it to Chiang's
suburban home. He was accom-
panied by Foreign Minister George
Yeh, who translated the note for
President Chang.
Extras Printed.
Chang then went into immedi-
ate conference with Yeh, Premier
Chen Cheng and other officials.
The news of President Trumans S
move was received joyously on
Formosa and several newspapers
issued one-page extras. Formosa
has been steeling itself for an ex-
pected Red invasion across the
100-mile- wide waters of Formosa
Strait.
Yeh earlier declared that Presi- |
dent Truman's order was "a most
welcome sign of comradeship in
the fight against communism. He
called the order "a happy sur
prise
I am sure" he added. "the
people will welcome President
Truman's intervention and feel
themselves part of the democratic
defense against Communism"
News Agency Quoted
The official Chinese news agency
quoted Chen as saying "the Sc
curity Council should now make
a declaration to the effect that
Soviet Russia should be held re-
sppnSible for her direction of the
attack on the republic of Korea
Before acting on Washington's
demand for a cease fire, officials
seemed concerned over possible
loss of face in breaking off the air
and sea attacks now. = The last
air action came Yesterday with
raids on three Communist air
fields and the invasion ports of

But have they gone too far? The

grossly trampling on the United
