Mounting Shopping
Points 10 Record
Christmas Business
By Riehord Fiske
Associated Press Business Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Christ-
mas shopping kept the cash regis
ters ringing with an increasing
din this week and it appeared a
record Christmas business was in
the making.
Most sections Of the country
reported new record sales volumes
on the Friday after Thanksgiving,
traditionally a bellwether Of the
holiday shopping season.
Meanwhile, industrial produc-
ton was at postwar peak and
the Federal Reserve Board said
1t was still on the rise. Many
companies talked expansion plans.
Confidence Continues.
Confidence continued in the air.
Almost every one felt pretty sure
the first half of 1858 would spell
good business.
Some economists felt certain
the high levels of business activity
could be sustained beyond the
end of heavy defense spending.
Even the more pessimistic thought
any letdown might be mild.
The National Association Of
Purchasing Agents, the men who
buy materials for the Nations
factories, reported back orders
were high and production was in
step for the first time since the
start of the Korean war.
Economists agreed the Eisen-
hover election has had a good
psychological effect on business.
Production Increases.
The latest actual figures on in
ductrial production generally
were in the October report Of the
Federal Reserve Board.
The Federal Reserve index OF
industrial production was 227 in
October and the board said it was
climbing in November.
That's a postwar peak and COM
pares with a World War II peak of
247 in October and November of
1943.
AS industrial production rose
and business quickened, some
areas reported a tight labor pool.

that he illegally acquired $75, ,000
to 100000 in stocks from q
wealthy widow.
A familiar figure to millions of

Gabrielson was accused of violat-
ing the trust and confidence of
Mrs. Irene B. Jackson in a
Superior Court suit filed here

Transferred in 1885.
The suit claimed that in 1886
the bespectacled politician-busi-
|nessman induced Mrs. Jackson to
transfer her stock in a New York
loan company to him and
neglected to tell her their true
value.
It asked the court to rescind
the contract, return the stock to
the estate and enjoin Mr.. Gabriel
son from dispoSing of it.

Mrs. Jackson. wife of the late

AFL Decision Slated Today
On Presidential Endorsements
CIO Political Group
Meets; Stevenson
Support Held Sure
BY the Assoeiassd Press

The CIO high command opened
a three-day political session here
today. with all signs pointing to
Endorsement Of Adlai Stevenson,
the Democratic candidate for Pres
ident.
Headed by Philip Murray, presi-
dent Of the Congress Of Industrial
Organizations. and Jack Kroll, di-
rector Of the organizations Po-
litical Action Committee. some 500
CIO leaders streamed into town to
talk candidates. money and STRAIT
egy.
The national CIO has never
gone beyond an Endorsement of
presidential and vice presidential
candidates. State and district CIO
councils handle the big labor or
ganization's political drives on the
State and local levels.
Timing Is Uncertain.
Official CIO backing for Gov.
Stevenson seems a foregone con-
clusion. but the timing is still a
bit uncertain. Best bet is that the
Executive Board, a 46-man body
which includes a top official from
each Of IS CIO unions plus II ma
tional officers. will get officially be-
hind Gov. Stevenson at q meeting
scheduled for tomorrow.
,Today's sessions-the vice
presidents meet by themselves in
the morning and with PAC offi-
cials in the afternoon-are likely
to be dull.
The PAC says its No. / elec-
tion time problem is getting out
the vote-making sure that
eligible voters register and 60 to
the polls November 4.
A second problem sure to come
in for discussion is money and
how to raise it. The PAC is shoot
ing for at least 81 million in con-
tributions from its 5-million-plus
membership. The biggest sum it
ever raised was $1,000, 900 in the
1850 congressional elections.
Backed Willkie in 1910.
The CIO has not always sup
ported the Democratic candidate.
In 1910, when John L. Lewis was
CIO president, Wendell Willkie
got the nod. Mr.. Lewis had a
falling out with Franklin D..
Roosevelt following the 1886
Roosevelt victory. But in 1914
the CIO backed Mr.. Roosevelt
and in 1948 it pumped for Harry
S. Truman.

Neither Candidate
Expected to Receive

BY james Newton
Stor Stoff Correspondent

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 13.-The
course Of the American Federation
lot Labor in the forthcoming cam
|paigns will be charted today by
the ruling committee Of the AFL's
political league.
Indications were the federation
would not give its Endorsement to
either Gen. Eisenhower or Gov.
Stevenson. But among the labor
leaders debate ragged hot and
heavy on the subject.
The administration committee
|of labor's League for Political Ed
|ucation is meeting here in con-
junction with the annual summer
meeting Of the AFL's 15-member
Executive council. The committee
includes the members Of the coun-
|cil plus the presidents Of Is inter-
national unions.
Majority for Stevenson.
A vast majority of committee
members favor Gov. Stevenson
over Gen. Eisenhower. Most of
them are longtime Democrats.
Some Of the more vocal of them
are insisting the AFL should de-
clare for the Illinois Governor
But apparently a majority of the
committee feel the AFL should
hold to tradition and not give
its blessings to either candidate,
Only on a couple Of occasions
has the federation departed from
tradition. They leave the matter
|of presidential Endorsements Up
to the individual unions although
most Of the leaders can be counted
on to work for Gov. Stevenson.
The committee will hear a re-
port from James L. McDevitt, 6i-
rector of the political league.
There also will be a report on
league finances from George
Meany. AFL secretary-treasurer.
Ways for raising funds for con-
|gressional and local campaigns
will be worked out. The AFL
hopes to raise .multi-million-
dollar fund to help its friends"
get elected to Congress.
Will Draw Up Lists.
Lists Of congressional candidates
who will be supported and opposed
will be drawn up.
Yesterday the council heard a
report from its building and con-
struction trades department that
the unions in the construction in
dustry could not live with the
Taft Hartley Act as now written.
A committee was appointed to
work for amendment of Taft
Hartley to do away with the re-
quirement for bargaining repre-
sentation elections in the building
field. The committee consists of
Mr.. Meany and Vice Presidents
w. c. Doherty and Matthew Vol.
In the last session the Senate
unanimously voted to change
Taft-Hartley but the bill was
shelved in the House. The COM
mittee said it would build pow
erful" case for a change in the
law. It will cite numerous exam
Piles where the law actually has
created strifes" in the building
