Increased ACTIVITY
Shows During Week
In Some Soft Spots
By Richard Fiske
Associated Press Business Writer

NEW YORK, April 5.-Some OF
the slow spots in business began
to show signs of life this week
but the imminence of a strike in
the steel industry put dampel
on the good news.
Shoppers let up a bit on the
tight grip they've been holding
on their purse strings.
Textile mills received some SUBJ
stantial Government contracts
and were asked to bid on still
further business.
Big Tanks Contract.
The Cadillac tank plant signed
a new $165 million contract with
the Army to build light tanks and
motor gun carriages.
Willys-Overland motors re-
ceived an Army order for SAG
million worth of military jeeps
with options to buy an additional
$29 million worth.
Construction awards were the
highest since October and overall
industrial production was impress
Sive.
But the items Of good news and
the fine production by industry
were overshadowed by the strong
possibility of a steel strike next
Wednesday.
The effects Of a strike in the
basic steel industry would be felt
in myriad other industries de-
pendent upon it's products. Gov
eminent officials have said a steel
walkout not only would have
critical effect on the defense pro-
gram but upon the entire eco
nomy.
Retail Trade Picks Up.
But the week did bring better
business to many. Dun and Brad
street said that for the first time
in three months, the dollar VOL
ume of retail sales exceeded the
level of a year earlier.
Easter shoppers showed up in
increasing numbers and retail
trade rose noticeably in most Sec
tions. The most pronounced in
crease was in the demand for ap-
parel goods.

WHY Do
INVESTORS
Make This
Mistake?

The trouble with most investors is
that they evaluate securities on the
basis of their temporary market fluc-
tuations rather than on the basis OF
their attractiveness from the stand
point of income. safety and long-term
potentialities. FINANCIAL WORLD
does not attempt to guess short-swine
market reactions. and we advise you
not to do so but to learn real values.

Stock Prices Lower
During Week Due 10
Steel Strike Anxiety
By Roder Wineet
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. April 5.-The APP
preaching steel strike dominated
the stock market this week, anG
the trend was down.
Pressure on the downside was
not severe. Virtually all of 1t was
concentrated in one day-Tues-
day - when union management
talks stalled and a strike looked
inevitable.
In the midst of the general
bearishneSs in Wall Street, a
bright speculative light appeared
1t was a boom in Canadian oils
Buying in Toronto was feverish
and trading in the oils on the New
York curb exchange whipped
volume up to a six-year peak.
Curb business on Thursday was
bigger than that Of the big board
for the first time for full ses-
sion since November, 1945.
A. p. Average Dips.
The Associated Press average of
so stocks lost $1.40 on the week
after four week rise that carried
the average to a new high for
more than 81 years.
The question a lot of people
asked was-is a steel strike bullish
or beariSh?
The record shows neither one
particularly. The arguments 60
both ways.
For instance, back in 1916 when
the steel industry was crippled
by strike lasting nearly a month.
the Associated Press average lost
only so cents between mid-Janu-
airy and mid February, the period
spanning the strike. And there
swas only a So difference between
the low and high Of that period.
After the strike was settled. the
market fell.
Warning Is Recalled.
There is frequently voiced
Wall Street saying-don't sell on
strikes. That's because production
lost during a strike usually is
made up later.
There was about unanimous
agreement in Wall Street that
higher wages and higher prices
in the steel industry would be in
f1ationary. especially if it set of
another round of wage hikes and
price rises in other basic indus
tries.
The five most active Stock Ex-
change issues this week were
Canadian Pacific up IA at 80.
Baltimore & Ohio up u at 1875,
Sunray Oil up IS at 2314,> Pepsi
Cola unchanged at 97s, and Inter-
national Telephone off "a at 1878.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 6 - Watch
out for upsets in your business and per-
sonal planning during the next IL months.
It's tempt ing to read the surface
signs and decide that things are going to
go along about usual. But you may be
badly fooled If you do. For, as the
nations mobilizat on program gathers
speed, 1852 is going to see some surprising
upsets.
AS the Editors Of U. S. NEWS World
Report enalyze it, some prices Will rise,
but others will actually slump. Some kinds
Of business Will boom others may not be
able to survive. Controls will be unchanged
in some fields, but will ease up in others.
Many personal incomes will go up. but taxes
will take bigger bite this year.
There will be more beef, more housings
more Jobs. The draft Will go on. but the
tempo may definitely change. Some Reserv-
lists will still be called. World tension
will not end - there will be "scares" as in
\ the past.
And on the political scene or,
rather behind the scene - deals are being
made right viii CHI may offer you some sur.
prising candidates for the coming presi-
Dental election.

rapid progress across the frozen
plains until they reached the end
of the ice barrier. Then began the
slow uphill climb to an elevation
of nearly 10000 feet, a hard pull
even with dog teams. The rest of
the way was fairly easy, going
mostly downhill, and on Dec. Ia,
fifty-six days after they left
"Framheim. the Norwegian ,ex-
plorers stood on the South Pole.
A Tragic End
A month later, Jan. 16, 1912,
Captain Scott also reached the
South Pole, only to find the tent
left by Amundsen and his men,
with the Norwegian flag waving
atop. The British explorers never
returned to report their disap-
pointment; all of them died from
exhaustion. no doubt largely re-
sulting from the complete break
down of their motorsleds and pom
les, which made it necessary for
the men to pull the heavy loads
themselves.
Amundsen's expedition made
many important scientific findings
in addition to discovering the
South Pole. Among the achieve
ments of the Norwegian explorers
were these: evidence of the proc
able link between South Victoria
land and King Edward Wis Land;
solution of the nature of the Ross
barrier; findings indicating that
the Antarctic is one cohesive con-
tinent; q year Of continuous me-
theological observations at FRAN

After many months of practice

South Pole party left "Framheim"
on October 10.
Headed by Road Amundsen, the
group included four other men

Sverre Hassel and Oskar Visiting.
Their provisions for four months
were loaded on four large sleds,
