First Faint Stirrinqs
Of Business Pickup
Reported by Leaders
By Walter Breede, Jr.
Associated Press Business Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Inven-
tories, layoffs and color television
posed problems for businessmen
this week. But there was new
air of confidence in the future.
Some economists and industry
leaders, taking long range
view, professed to see the first
faint STRINGS of a business
pickup which, they said, might
blossom out by Springtime.
This optimism highlighted a
week in which the general pat
tern of business was thoroughly
mixed.
Auto Output Picks Up.
With Ford joining Chevrolet
in a forced-draft production of
1854 models, auto output picked
up 16 percent. Curtailed opera
tions were in prospect for the
next two weeks because of
Christmas and New Years.
Steel production was scheduled
at 85 per cent of capacity-down
1T per cent from the actual op-
Grating rate of the week before.
Next week it will be even lower.
United States Steel Corp. banked
two large blast furnices-one at
its Youngstown, Ohio, works and
one at observation-disclosures of
slack demand for steel products.
Retail trade gained momentum
as the Christmas eve shopping
deadline drew near. Merchants
in most parts of the country re-
ported more business than in
the same week of last years
record breaking season. Notable
exceptions were New England
and other Eastern regions where
a substantial number of stores
failed to match last years
volume.
Problems Outlined.
The week brought a f1stful of
immediate problems. There were
new layoffs in the auto industry.
The problem of farm surpluses
came into sharper focus.
The Agriculture Department
reported that total crops this
year ,equaled the Nations second
largest harvest on record and
were exceeded only by the bump
er yield of 1948. Farmers got
more cash for their crops last
month than in November a year
ago, thanks principally to Gov
ernment price support loans on
wheat, corn and cotton.
Agriculture Secretary Benson
said the Nation faces a serious
farm surplus because "some one
miscalculated our production
needs" A Midwest agricultural
economist and college professor,
DR.. T. Z. Cowden of Michigan
State, said the current baby
boom is the most optimistic fac
tor in the long-range outlook for
the American farmer. There were
increasing indications that the
farm problem was shaping up as
the No. l political issue for the
elections next fall.

said the new jets have destroyed
six night-1ying Communist MICS
and one propeller driven aircraft.

SEC Tighfens Rules
On Present and Past
Officials and Aides !.
By the Assoeioted Press

The Securities and Exchange
Commission, which regulates the
Nations stock market transac-
tions, has published tighter rules
for conduct of present and past
commissioners and employees.
SEC Secretary Orville Dubois
said the new regulations make it
clear commissioners and SEC
employees must abide by the same
ethical standards.
For the most part, he said, the
new instructions are a revision of
standing rules. They. were writ
ten along lines suggested by Sem
ate investigators who looked into
ethics Of Government employ
ment.
One section Of the revised
rules prohibits former SEC mern-
bers and employees. from taking
part in a case before the COM
mission If they handled it while
with the commission or got per-
Sonal knowledge of it then. There
is no time limit on that ban.
A new provision calls on for
mer SEC employees or commits
sioners to file a report with the
commission If they appear before
it within two years after leaving
the SEC.
In general, the instructions
declare it contrary to SEC policy
for members or employees to:
/. Take part, directly or indi-
rectly, in personal business grow
ing out Of employment at SEC.
2. Accept. directly Or indi-
rectly, any valuable gift, favor
or service from anyone he dealt
with while with the SEC.
8. Discuss employment propo-
sitions with anyone doing busi-
ness with the SEC.
4. "Divulge confidential COM
mercial or economic information
to any unauthorized person, or
release such information in ad-
vance Of authorization. /" The
SEC receives. by law. detailed
reports from business firms in
volving information which would
be of competitive value.

At stake are 81 offices which
may be the object of one or sew
eral bitter contests. The office of
league president, currently occu-
pied by Cordelia Greene Johnson
of New Jersey, is not likely to be
contested. Members realizing that
the organization is slated to move
into their new national home, a
project which has been the BRAIN
child of their president, seem to
want her in office when the home
is taken over.
Several recently appointed Off
GERS filling out unexpired terms,
are expected to meet stiff competi-
ton in their efforts to hold. those
offices. The six vice-presidents,
however, are expected to provide

White House Favofs
Ending Segregation
In The Navy

By continuous prodding from
the White House, the navy is NOV
ing steadily toward elimination of
segregation among civilian en-
ployees in southern bases, it was
learned this week.
The recommendation is, to first
modify if not cancel the 18 months
old navy department order to base
commanders, to comply with local
racial policies.
The navy plans instead to lay
down a policy stating that common
rather than separate facilities for
civilian employees is the desired
gaol. Base commanders will be re-
quired to report periodically on
their progress in this direction.
There still exist in many southern
installation separate facilities, such
as rest rooms, drinking fountains
and restaurants.
Defense department race rela-
tions. experts, do not expect the
new navy policy to result in imme-
diate elimination of all segregation
at southern bases, but they do feel
it will mean more rapid evolu-
tionary process toward integration.
