volume of retail trade in the
week ended Wednesday rose
slightly above the previous week
and remained ahead of year

liberal, but installment buying
declined somewhat from the pre-
vious period.
Dun g. Bradstreet estimated
the total dollar volume of retail
trade for the nation as a whole
at 2 to 6 per cent higher than
a year ago. Regional estimates
varied from levels of a year ago
by the following percentages:
New England, Midwest and
Southwest, up 2 to 6; East and
Pacific Coast. up to S; South
and Northwest, up 3 to Z.
Interest in spring apparel
brought slight increases in sales.

Senator's Reintroduce
Fair Employment Bill
" The Assoeio,ed Pres,

Nineteen Senators joined yes
terday in reintroducing a fair
employment practices bill. It is
virtually identical to one that
failed to pass in the last Congress.
Another group of 19 Senators
offered a bill which would make
it a Federal offense to commit
unprovoked violence against uni
formed members of the armed
forces. while they are in a duty
status.
Senator Lehman, Democrat
Liberal, of New York one of the
sponsors, said such law would
be especially effective In protect
ing servicemen belonging to mi
nority groups or who might
otherwise be the objects of preju-
dice in particular localities Of
our, country"
The fair employment bill
would outlaw discrimination by
employers because of race, reli-
gion, creed, color or national
origin An equality of oppor-
tunity in employment commits
sion" would be established to
administer the act.
The bill relating to servicemen
was similar to measures intro
duced in 1874 and 1851.
Senator Lehman said its Sim
pie effect -. would be to provide
Federal sanctions against unpro-
voked physical assault on uni
formed personnel if committed
while such personnel are. engaged
IN performance of duty or on
account Of the performance of
duty"
Persons charged under the law
could be tried in Federal Court.

By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. Indus
try leaders from North, South,
East and West looked into their
economic crystal balls last week
and came up with this forecast
1854 will be a good year for
business, not quite I'D to '53, but
still a good one by most stand
ards.
That was the consensus of II
manufacturers from various
parts of the country interviewed
here while attending the annual
convention of the National As
sociation of Manufacturers. Some
represented huge national cor
porationS, some small businesses.
Most of the industrialistS said
competition would be keener in
'54, but not one of them saw a
depression around the corner.
They mentioned as favorable
factors the prospect of lower
taxes, the slowing of the infla-
tionary spiral, the consumers
backlog of savings and the rapid
growth in population.
Some Ifs" Added.
A few added an "if" to their
projections. Things look all
right, they suggested, if we have
good Government in Washing
ton. Others pointed out that
some segmentS of industry had
a temporary ease of jitters" a
few months back but were now
feeling much more confident.
Henning w. Prentis, jr., chair
man of the board of Armstrong
Cork Co., Lancaster, Pa, said,
I'VE think it will be pretty good
year. Perhaps there will be a
minor adjustment and maybe 1t
will equal 1853"
Our company makes $50
different products in both con-
sumner and durable goods so we
get wide picture" he added.
c. M. Chester, honorary chair
man of the board of General
Foods. New York, declared,
things should shape up well, if
labor costs don't go through the
roof and we stop being Santa
Claus all over the world"
Seen as Dealer Problem"
I'm not impressed by pessi-
mistic talk about the economy"

Industrial Leaders Forecast
Another Good Business Year

said Mr.. Chester. "The automo-
bile picture has been Spotty but
that's a dealer situation and it
should bounce back"
According to John F. Beecher,
board chairman, Glove Woven
Betting Co., Buffalo, N. Y, "1954
will be good year if the manu-
facturers give better values and
do real selling job"
The new competitive scene also
was emphasized by D. L. Jordan,
president of Johnson -Carper
Furniture Co., Roanoke, Va.
We've got to plan for "a to be
a big year and we've got to really
SELL" Mr. Jordan said. "Our sales
muscles have become a little
f1abby of late"

ton, seven of these are newly or
