With this years studies pub lished in mimeographed form, complete with map of the pro- posed city area, the Chamber put a period to its work and dropped the matter. However interested individuals pushed the plan along to the drafting and circulating of petitions, and to its ultimate con- clusion with the filing of those petitions in District Court last Tuesday.

credit terms is not yet clear. Early
indications in the Philadelphia area
reveal no slackening in the rate of
new building starts in July despite
advancing construction costs. While
many builders are cautious, others
are trying to "get in" under some
imaginary wire, and materials
scarcities are increasing. Real es-
tate activity is unseasonably
strong, and mortgage credit con-
tinues to expand rapidly.
Consumers apparently were buy
ing not only on credit but also with
cash from redeemed Savings
Bonds. Redemptions of Series E
Bonds in the Third District rose
during July to the highest level
since November 194S. During the
first half of the year, redemptions
were running on the average about
even with the same period of last
year. In July, they jumped to IL
per cent above July 1949. Sales of
Series E Bonds, however, were still
greater than redemptions, thanks
to the Independence Drive. Nearly
$98 million of E Bonds were sold
in the three states of Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, and Delaware during
the Drive-more than 127 per cent
of the combined quota. Even dur
ing the Drive, however, sales ex-
ceeded redemptions by a consider
ably smaller margin, percentage
wise, than during the early months
of the year.
Needless to say, if buying were
normal, real scarcities would be
few and far between. Industrial
production is rising. In June, in
dustrial electric power sales in the
Third District exceeded those of
1949 by II per cent. In Pennsyl-
vania factories, according to a pre-
liminary tabulation for the month
of July, man-hours worked advanc-
ed about per cent over June tot
ais. Furniture, rubber, and iron
and steel industries showed large
gains over 1949. transportation
equipment and tobacco were the
only industries to show an appre-
ciably lower level of activity. Pay
rolls also rose. They were over 10
per cent higher than those paid out
during the slump last summer.
Larger pay checks mean, of course,
that not all of the increased con-
sumner buying is scare buying.
In the financial community, the

Government bonds reappeared in
force and the Federal Reserve
again made heavy sales from its
portfolio.
Meanwhile, bank loans to busi-
nesses, home owners, and consum-
ers continued to crop upward, and
the money supply remained at
high level.
The spectacular price increases
of a few commodities like rubber,
pepper, and cotton are not typical,
but the general price advance dur
ing the last month has been strong
nevertheless. The weekly index of
wholesale commodity prices ap-
peared to have leveled off in June
after rise of about per cent dur
ing the spring. From the last
week in June to the last week in
July it had risen from 1871 to 1887
an increase of 4 per cent in one
month. The index of sensitive
commodity prices indicates a con-
tinued price rise in the most re-
cent week.

shock of the Korean crisis was felt
most keenly by the stock market.
The Dow-Jones average of indus
trial stock prices fell Z per cent
during the first week, stabilized
somewhat during the second, but
declined further in the third week
following the outbreak of fighting.
Prices of Government bonds also
declined for a brief period, and in
response the Federal Reserve sold
only negligible amounts of bonds
from its portfolio. The uncertainty
prevailing in the security markets
resulted in a sharp drop in the vol
ume of new issues fioated in July.
The effect of the shock proved
to be only temporary, however. BY
the end of July, stock prices, led
by the rails, had recovered more
than half their loss. Prices of cor
porate bonds also rose during the
last half of the month, and pros
poets of higher taxes melted a
scramble for fully and partially
tax-exempt issues. The demand for

PRICE RISES
DURING WEEK
Consumer Buying Tremend-
Ously Stimulated and Indus
trial Output Expanding
SELL SAVINGS BONDS

In the fast-moving stream of
events since the 25th of June,
Elast months statistics" have lost
much of their significance. While
later data are fragmentary, more
emphasis than usual should be
placed on them. The economic sit
uation is fluid and, like stale COM
muniques from the battle front, old
reports of business activity are
likely to refer to conditions which
no longer exist. Such statistics as
are available for recent weeks al
ready show an unmistakable pat
tern: consumer buying has been
tremendously stimulated; indus
trial output is expanding; credit is
increasing; and prices are rising.
The reaction of consumers to the
prospect of increased military pro-
duction has been sharp and in
many ways discouraging. Obvious
ly, we have among us some who
have made frantic efforts to secure
commodities which they think will
become scarce, thus engendering
"scare buying" on the part of many
otherwise sensible people. In the
week ended July 20, the sales of
central Philadelphia department
stores scared 46 per cent above
those of the corresponding week
last year. Before the Korean cris-
is, sales had been about even with
1949 totals. The departmental
breakdown for the previous week
showed that the greatest gains
came in the field of major house
hold appliances, washing machines
refrigerators, and others, and in
radio and television sets. Install
ment sales were nearly so per cent
ahead of last years. There was
some indication at the beginning
of August that the run on certain
types of appliances was petering
out.

struction, the reaction of Tightening

Truman Follows al Law, Sets
Nov. % as Thanksgiving Day

The confusion among Federal
employees here as well as others
as to when the Thanksgiving Day
holiday will be observed next
month has been dispelled by
President Truman official proc
lamation that the holiday will be
celebrated on Thursday, Novem-
ber %.
The confusion arose because
there are five Thursdays during
next month. Some people thought
that Thanksgiving is celebrated
on the last Thursday of the
month and therefore would fall
on the 30th.
However, in his proclamation
issued yesterday. President Tru-
man referred to the fact that in
conformance with action taken by
Congress in 1941 Thanksgiving
Day is celebrated on the fourth
Thursday of November. This
year it falls on the 23d.
Stores to Close.
Government employees will get
the day off, as will many workers
in private firms here. Department
stores and banks will be among
the establishments closing for the
day.

eve are deeply grateful for the
bounties of our soil, for the un-

Plan for Home Guard
In District Approved
By Gen. Abendroth
By WiIIiom J. WheotIey

Basic plans for the Districts
proposed Home Guard or Security
Force were approved tentatively
last night by Brig. Gen. William
H. Abendroth, commander Of the
District National Guard.
The plans are expected to be
submitted next week to the civil
ian defense authorities. This will
be for the purpose of eliminating
any conflict or overlapping, as
well as to clean up all objections
before the plan is presented for
mally to the District Commis-
sioners.
As worked out by a board of
officers headed by 1t. Col. Robert
F. Cocklin, chief of staff. the
program provides for formation
Of units here along the lines Of
military police units.
Small Units Planned.
The size of the proposed force
will not be- fixed in the current
plans. But it is proposed to start
with small units and then build
up as conditions require. The
organization of a battalion Of two
or three companies at the begin
ming is to be suggested.
BY the time the plan is ready
for the Commissioners, it was
said, the guard officers expect to
have data on the cost per day of
each unit called in service in event
OF an emergency. The cost of
such service would be the re-
sponsibility of district authorities.
Government Provides Arms.
This would include the pay of
officers and men as well as feed
ing. housing and transportation.
The Federal Government, under a
recent statute, provides arms.
equipment and uniforms.
After the conference last night.
Gen. Abendroth instructed Maj.
Vernon B. Vaden, judge advocate,
and Capt. Gilberto Barbosa to
work up a draft of the details.
This will be discussed next week
with Inspector John E. Fondahl
and other civil defense officials.
Should the Commissioners ap-
prove the program. they could
then request from Congress sufti-
cient funds to cover the cost of
putting the force in active service.
