THE DECLINE in economic activ-
ity which began several months ago
may be leveling off. Fall will bring
some pickup in industrial production
which dropped 4 or percent in mid
summer, partly due to the vacation
season. Defense spending is sched-
uled to increase from monthly rate
of about S., 00O, 000, 600 in the current
quarter to $500, 100000 month
next spring. Wholesale and retail
inventories are starting to decline as
a result of recent price cuts and
bargain sales. The flow of new or
ders to manufacturers has turned up.
Consumer income is at record high
level and may increase further from
full employment and the union drive
for wage increases.
While inflationary tendencies prob
ably will regain some of their
strength in the next 6 to 10 months,
it is doubtful that they will push
commodity prices to new high levels.
Prices for farm products will be re-
strained by this years high produc-
ton. In spite of diversions of man
power and materials to defense, sup
plies of most consumer goods will
be fairly plentiful. Without the spur
of new war outbreak, advance
buying in fear of shortages is likely
to be small. Taxes will absorb some
Of the increase in incomes, so that
the inflationary gap between in
comes and things on which it can be
spent may be narrow.
Cattle Steady to strong prices for
top grades and steady to lower prices
for middle and lower grades are
probable in the next two or three
months. Total slaughter of cattle in
the last three months has been alb
normally low and probably will show
more than the usual seasonal in
crease in cary fall. Cattle that have
been held back to make full use Of
good grazing will be moved as The
grazing season comes to a close
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-09-01

Drouth and extreme heat have been
forcing some Texas cattle to market
Any increase in the slaughter supply
will consist mostly of intermediate
and lower grades. Arrivals of choice
and prime cattle are likely to de-
cline as feedlots become emptied of
old crop fed cattle.
Hogs - Prices appear to have
turned downward after their summer
rise and are likely to drop So to 81
ewt. before reaching the winter low
point. Receipts will increase gradu-
ally from marketing the spring pig
,rop and, by early December, prob
ably will be more than double recent
volume. Packers will bear down
quickly when the run expands, as
their margins have been squeezed. in
the last two months. Later on, pork
prices probably will drop below cell
ings to stimulate larger consumption.
Lambs - Prices probably will be
mostly steady to weak in the next
month or two. Slaughter supplies of
lambs will be around the peak of
the year and some increase will oc-
cur in the supplies of other meats.
Slaughter is likely to continue lighter
than a year ago with the total for
the year the smallest in over so
years, because of the retention of
both ewes and lambs to enlarge
floclxs. Drouth in Texas and New
Mexico is forcing some thin lambs
to market, but the total supply of
feeder lambs will be relatively short
Wool - Prices probably are near
bottom. Quotations, largely nominal,
are only 10 to is percent higher than
year ago and are 40 to As percent
below the March peak. Domestic
and world supply is still relatively
short in spite of some increase in
production. Military needs will be
fairly substantial during the next
IL months. The price drop probably
will revive civilian demand which
was choked off by the sharp price

Texas Lawyer

It is a rare thing for a Texan to admit of an inferiority complex in any form. However, Mastin G. White, the solicitor of the Interior Department, confesses to a slight uneasiness every time he enters certain office building in Washing ton.
 White, a native of Tyler, Texas, has a close friend, Norman Morri- sson, formerly of Fl Paso, whose law offices are in the Union Trust Building. Once, when Morrisson's wife and young daughter, Mary Helen, were taking the elevator to his office, Mary Helen suddenly ex- claimed:
 Mother. do you know that MT. White can't visit daddy in this building?"
 .NonGense." said Mrs. Morrison Why not?"
 Pointing to a sign in the elevator the little girl replied: Well, it says very plainly there-'No solicitors al- lowed

DEMAND,- HIGH PRICES SPUR 10
 A5BEST05 MINING

Current national demand and ac- companying high market prices should spur further exploration and development work on chysotile and tremolite asbestos deposits in the Kobuk river region ard elsewhere in the Territory, it is reported by the Alaska Development Board.
 More than 30 large asbestos man. ufacturing concerns, interested in developing new sources of supply, have contacted the Board during the past month regarding possibil- ities of purchasing asbestos or de- veloping deposits in the Territory.
 A New Jersey company now is considering plans to explore eXten- sively the Kobuk river region from which has come the only commer- cial production of asbestos in AL aska. Small shipments, aggregating about 45 tons, were made from the region in 1944-45, bringing prices which ranged as high as 5000 per ton.
 Occurances of asbestos also have been noted in the Salcha and TOl- ovana districts, the Timber Gre ek region near Tok Junction, the Mar

Radioactive No-Man's Land

Most revolutionary of these IS pathological warfare, or the use Of radioactive rays. By contaminating military ohjectives with radioact- i've rays, it would be possible to conquer an objective without kill ing a single person or destroying a single building The radioactive dose could be made as deadly as desired. In other words, the dose could be made light enough so that it would have to be absorbed by the civilian population for three or four days before causing death. This would give enemy civilians plenty of time to clear out, and the advancing army could move in as soon as the radioactivity wore off.
 Radioactive contamination could also be used to halt ground at tack down a narrow neck of land, such as Korea. This could be &C., complished by spreading stronger dose and creating radioactive nO-man'S lana Into Whlcn no SOL dier could advance without certain death.
 Processes have already been de- veloped to produce these radioac- tive rays independent of the at- omic bomb However, the same ef- feet could also De achieved by eX- ploding an atomic bomb under ground. This would contaminate the ground, and create a radioac- tive no-man's land. The effect would be that of an atomic mine which, if exploded in the face of an advancing army, should be able to halt the advance cold.
 To test this principle, under ground atomic explosions are al- ready scheduled on the barren AL eutian Islands.

 Since January 1, prices for this vital metal have risen more than $10O per 76-pound flask to an all- time high of $220-$230. Such prem ium market conditions offer an unprecedented opportunity for AL aska operators and prospectors in- terested in mercury production, the Board stated.
 No mercury was produced in AL aska during the 1850 season. ow- ing to unfavorable markets. About 100 flasks were produced in 1949 and similar amount during the previous year, at an average price of $80 per fla~l.
 Operators and prospectors desir- ing to contact firms interested in purchasing mercury from Alaska should write the Alaska Develop ment Board, Box 50, Juneau.

THE COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION

After his more than ten years as Commissioner of Education, the departure of Dr. James O. Ryan from Juneau makes that are losing one of Juneau's foremost citizens well as very sincere and interested educator who has successfully lead his Department of Education through difficult years-years that have included a and threat Of another war, when saffs have been difficult to Ill, material for construction hard to obtain and money scarce.
 In his position as head of the schools ln Fairbanks, Dr. Ryan, who at the University of Alaska prior to his appointment as Commissioner oi Education, will be returning to town and conditions he knows well. We join others in Juneau who wish him well.
 Since Dr. Ryan's resignation has required ap- pointment of a new Commissioner of Education we know of better choice that could have been made by the Board of Education than Everett R. Erickson, Deputy Commissioner for the last four years
 The Empire congratulates the Board of Education upon it's selection of commissioner And, while we are at it. we should give the board members further praise for their serious and judicious approach to their responsibilities members of this important Terri torial Board
 We regret that Dr. Ryan is leaving but since he is we are glad his is to be Everett Erickson

COST OF LIVING DAY GUT HEARING
 ASKED, DElEGATES

WASHINGTON, May 19, - R - Congressional Representatives from Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico have appealed for full hearing before Congress is asked to elim- mate cost-of-living allowances to territorial residents who become government employees.
 The request was made in letters sent out jointly yesterday by Del egates F. L. Bartlett of Alaska and Joseph Harrington of Hawaii, and A. Fernos-Isern, Puerto Rico res- ident Commissioner.
 The House Wednesday refused to
 eliminate from the Agricultural De- pertinent Appropriation hill sec
 ton that would cancel such allow ances.
 1 During debate on the agriculture { money bill, Rep Whitten D-Miss)
 disclosed that he is preparing leg-
 islation to eliminate the cost-of- living payments for territorial res-
 idents in all government depart ments and agencies.
 In 9 joint letter to Senator Me Bellar, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, repres- tatives of the territories said the proposal lis colonialism at it's worst. This would set up two different Dpay standards for American citi- zens doing the same iobs

haps even more interesting, check ing revealed the skittishness of some White House aides regarding any letter signed Harry s. Tru- man"
 What actually happened was that Congressman McGuire, a Demo- crat. called at the White House with other members of the House Commerce Committee, and after ward stayed behind to talk to the President about sending an ambas- sador to the Vatican. MT. Truman has had this under consideration for some time but has been under vigorous political pressure from Protestants on one side and Cath olics on the other
 The President listened carefully to Mcclure, then jokin5iy remarked that when he did appoint an Am- bassador to the Vatican he would give Mcclure the Rosary conces- sion.
 Mcclure was amused and repeat ed the remark to several people, among them journalist Al Stein- berg, who was doing series of magazine articles on the White House. While at the White House preparing his series, Steinberg mentioned the remark to Presi- dential assistant who both pooh poohed the story and almost hit the ceiling.
 It was after this, and apparently to cover up any misinterpretation that might be given to his remark, that the President was urged by his aides to write a letter to Congress man Mcclure, which read:
 Dear John: Your suggestion about a representative at the Vat ican and a good business in rosar- ies gave me a good laugh
 President Truman, Bap- tist, has been criticized by some Protestants for appointing more Catholics to the cabinet than any other President in history-Attor- ney General Howard McGrath, Sec retary of Labor Maurice Tobin, and Secretary of Navy Francis Mat thews. By appointing committee on religious and racial tolerance, he worked against intolerance to- ward all faiths.

New Korean Weapons

The army is preparing to throw some terrifying new weapons into the Korean\War-if we finally de- eide to shooA the works in Korea Here is what the Chinese Commun- ists may soon Be facing:
 l. It is up toN. the President to order the use of Iatomic weapons in Korea, but the \ army is now training atomic arNllery crews just in case. These crews are learn- ing to operate two fiqld artillery pieces, capable of firiSg atomic shells which would wipe Sut an en- tire regiment with one lhot. One atomic gun is a giant 1 Howitzer, the other a lOng-rangd artillery piece. Both are so large that they must be lowed by locomotives.
 2 Ii the Communist air force joins the Korean war, the army will unleash a spectacular, new an- tiancraft gun that is fired by re- mote control In other words. sey- eral guns can be planted close to enemy lines, yet operated by re- mote control without any gun crews anywhere near the guns. The first of these 60 nm, air-cooled, anti aircraft guns are already being tested in Korea.
