Business, Industry
Post New Production
Peaks in First Half
By Richard Fiske
Associoted Press Business Writer

ASSocioteo rfesS boStneSS "IHs'
NEW YORK. June 30.-Busi-
ness and industry closed out the
first half of 1851 with new pro-
duction peaks this week.
They were operating under the
strangest economy in their expert
ence. 1t was an economy based on
neither the plunging production
necessary for war nor the normal
pattern of peace.
But it was a good six months.
Production more than filled the
demands of defense and the needs
of civilians. Corporate profits
made good reading. Dividends
were pleasing.
At the mid-year mark the road
ahead looked a little rocker. De-
velopments in Korea and Iran
made the future less certain. Taxes
and costs were ready to take big
ger bites out of profits.
During this mid-year week,
however, the good tidings of the
first six months continued.
Oil Output at Peak.
Crude oil production hit a new
peak of 6.110,650 barrels. Freight
carloadings were at a new 1851
top-832,942 cars.
Steel output wasn't a record.
But it was 1923 per cent of rated
capacity and that's mighty high.
Electric power production was
1894 .692, 900 kilowatt hours, a
high since March.
The Federal Reserve Board re-
ported there was $27, COL ,000, 0OC
in circulation-tops for 1851.
Auto production was hard on
the heels of last weeks figures
157 ,436 unitS-and soft coal out
put was up to 100000 tons.
Initiation Increases.
All in all the first half of 1851
was a period of good business anc
growing inflationary tendencies.
Forecasts for the future were
not as clear cut during this fina
week of the half year as they
had been a month ago. Event.
in Korea created uncertainties
even among those who had be.
heved production of defense good,
would remain high regardless O.
what happened in Korea.
Several economists took tn,
view that the third quarter O.
the year might be little soft
There would be some unemploy
ment or idleness, they said. There
would be a slackening of activity
they added.

 The bill, which provides for fed era1 defense housing construction through private contractors, pre- scribes limits of 5000, $10,O00 and $11,OOO for the average cost of two, three and four-bedroom family dwelling units. These i- mits would be subject to an in- crease of 50 percent in the ter ritories.
 In addition, Federal Housing Administration mortgage amounts allowable in Alaska would be raised to a point 50 percent high er than in the continental Uni ted States. Under existing law the Federal Housing Commis- sioner, on the basis of higher costs, is permitted to increase by one-third the maxim dollar amount otherwise applicable to mortgages eligible for insurance under the National Housing Act with respect to property in Alas ka. The provision in the Senate approved housing act for. 1851 would change such one-third authorized increase to one-half.

 The supplemental appropria- tion bill which passed the House this past week contains $11 mil lion for projects in Alaska includ- ing hospital for Bethel, roads in the Tongass National Forest and shop facilities for The Alaska Railroad.
 The measure, which now goes to the Senate for action, seeks to supply supplemental appropria- tions for the fiscal year ending this June.
 Of the total for Alaska, $31 F million would go for construction of a 7O-bed Alaska Native Ser vice hospital at Bethel to replace the hospital destroyed by fire last November. Four million dollars are earmarked in the bill for re- placing shop facilities of The Alaska Railroad at Anchorage which were lost in a fire last Jan uary.
 The remainder of the $11 mil lion supplemental requests for Alaska amounts. to $312 million for highways in the Tongass Nat ional Forest, for surveys, constrc- ton, reconstruction and malnten- ance of highways in the forest essential to the establishment ot pulp plants at Ketchikan, Juneau and Sitka." Last year $7 million was authorized for road improve ments in the forest.
