Army Film Can Be
Shown To Public

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO IL De-
cember 1854 - The Department
of the Army has released for show
ing to the public the color docu-
mentary film, This Is Your
Army.
Originally made by Movietone
News for use by the Army, this
production in it excellence is con-
sidered to be worthy of public at
tention. It is believed that tax
payers, parents and young men
and women of the nation will find
this film informative, awesome,
and entertaining. The Department
of the Army has released this
film in the public interest and to
further public understanding of
the vital role that the Army is
playing in the National Security
Program.
You may be whatever you re-
solve to be.

cast an increase in the issuance OF
revenue bonds.
Is. STOCK PRICES. After SO
sharp a rise, the market could have
a reaction; but l am forecasting
no crash in 1855 such as we had
in 1929 In fact, the situation
changed for the better October il,
1854.
26. WAGES. 1 forecast that the
wage trend in organized industry
will continue to move higher at
least in the first half of 1855. Dur
ing the first half year, when busi-
ness will be improving, the labor
chieftains will also be quick to re-
sort to the strike weapon.
27. OTHER LABOR GAINS. I
forecast that the heavy guns of the
labor begwigs will be trained on
the guaranteed annual wage, short
er work week, and more pensions.
With a better congressional control

Labor Relations Board, the deci-
Sions of that body will swing more

agement.
%. NEW INVENTIONS. These
will mostly be a labor saving type.
I forecast a marked increase in
automation and cybernetics, and
other marvellous changes in pro-
duction methods.
%. EMPLOYMENT. Unemploy-
ment outlook is brighter, since
business will be on the upgrade
during the first half. I forecast
that local and seasonal unemploy-
ment will still prove a knotty
problem.
80. FAILURES. The salient
business characteristic of 1855
will be bitter competition. Many
companies already weakened by
competitive conditions will no
longer be able to keep afloat. I
forecast a rise in both the number
and the total value of failures dur
ing 1855.
81. MERGERS. I forecast that
mergers and consultations will be
encouraged by federal officials, of,
by merging, a weak company can
be saved. But while every effort
will be made to prevent bankrupt
cies, Washington will frown on
large mergers and consultations.
80. GENERAL REAL ESTATE
SALES. The time is already past
due when real estate prices should
have been falling. Only fear of
World War III and easy credit
have prevented this. Therefore, I
forecast that a downturn in prices
cannot long be postponed.
33. URANIUM CRAZE. The
greatest speculation will take place
in the seeking and trading of land
with uranium prospects. This is
now centered in Colorado, Utah,
and vicinity; but forecast it will
spread in a limited way to many
other states and even to "offshore"
property. It could exceed the gold
rush of 1849. Another demand will
be fore woodlands which can be
bought for a few dollars per acre.
"a. COM INFER CIAL FARMS.
These have suffered a decline in
price as a result of the slump in
agricultural prices and farm in
comes. Unless more will be done
politically for the farmers next
year, I forecast that the recent de-
cline in commercial farm prices
may continue during 1855. Subsis-
tence farms on the fringes of lar
ger cities should hold up well in
price as migration toward the
suburbs continues.
35. VACANT LAND IN CITY
AREAS. With the exception of
parking lots, city vacant land
should experience a continued
slow reduction in price during

nimble and for the strong!
Ia. DIVIDENDS. Recent high ex-
penditures for new plant and
machinery have left some concerns
with very high depreciation char
ges. AS new capital commitments
are cut and depreciation remains
high, cash inflow could expand.
Such companies should be able to
pay out in dividends a higher per-
centage of earnings in 1855 than
in recent years, Notwithstanding a
moderate profits shrinkage.
IS. INVENTORIES. Inventories
have been permitted to run down
during 1854. As total business ex-
pands, there will be a tendency to
replace reduced stocks, especially
during the first half of 1855. Total
manufacturers inventories, how
ever, may build up more rapidly
than total business inventories. I
forecast that total wholesale and
total retail inventories will show
little change from 1854 levels
is. PRICES OF MANUFACT-
URED GOODS. Even with the ex-
pected pickup in demand, I see no
sharp markup in industrial prices
next year. Overall supplies are
generally ample. Hence, I fore
cast that industrial prices in 1855
will show little change from re-
cent levels.
II. FOOD PRICES. Food prices
may firm later in 1855. The strong
move into Government crop loans
this year has made free supplies
of most agricultural items less
burdensome. I forecast that new
advertising programs by Gamers
and other great food distributors
will help farmers, stock raisers,
and fruit growers.
IS. CONSUMER INCOME. Con-
sumner income viii hold at salts
factory levels. Most goods should
move readily into consuming chan
nels.
19. LIVING COSTS. I forecast
that during 1855 living costs will
show little overall change from
present levels. There may be some
firming during the first-half, but
the late months may again wit
ness a minor sOftening.
20. RENTS, ETC. I forecast
rental expenses may edge some
what higher; clothing costs should
be steady to moderately higher
There small chance that food eX.
penses can be greatly reduced.
21. MONEY SUPPLIES. I fore.
cast that money supplies will be
ample for all legitimate business
needs during 1855. With little
likelihood of business getting out
of hand on the upside, credit cas-.
ing is more likely than credit cur.
tailment in 1855.
%. INITIATION. Fears, or per,
haps hopes, of an inflationary
boom should be buried. Barring
outbreak of war, our productive
capacity is sufficiently large tc
meet all demands for goods. I fore
cast that no runaway initiation il
probable, even if the money man
ayers increase the supply of mon
ey or ease credit.
%. INTEREST RATES. Unit
the Treasury finds a way to bal
ance the budget, hold business a
high levels and unemployment a
a minimum, forecast little like
lihood of higher interest rates.
"a. BOND PRICES. With the
possible exception of tax-fret
bonds, I see no reason for mcre
ased bond prices in 1855. I fore

The Senator's wife does her

swoonings, whistles and
screams that took place when
any one of the seven girls just
walked across the stage, says
Peggy, must have been heard
all the way up at the North
Pole.
Harold read messages from
both the President and Air
Chief of Staff Gen. Twining,
and then after the New Year

had swooped down on the ice

night. They had visited the
hospital though first thing and
one of the bed patients asked
Mrs. Talbot, who's that man
over there?" That's the Sec
retary of the Air Force" she
replied. HE looks a lot tougher
than I expected" said the pa
tient in a complimentary tone.
Hes not a bad guy" smiled
the chic. lovely looking Peggy.
"He doesn't beat me more than
once a day." she quipped. I'm

The LauriSton Hardins could
hardly enjoy the holidays for
concentrating on a mystery
that has now become an an
nual occurrence. At Christmas
time a year ago, some one
came to the front door and left
two bottles Of champagne for
them. Their youngest son,
Teddy. received the package
and when asked who left it,
casually tossed off "Oh, a man
with a hat" There was no
card. SO the donor was never
thanked.
This Christmas, a woman
brought a box OF carnations to
the door and again the un-
observant Teddy received it.
There was no card in it but
when Dorcas asked her son
who had left the package. he
told her it was Mrs. Barry.
Dorcas Immediately called up
Neville Barry and thanked her
but the later was overcome and
mystif1ed because she hadn't
done it and she didn't know
she had a double. So again the
donor went unthanked. Any
clues leading to the solution
of this mystery will be great
ly appreciated by the Hardins.

Neighborliness should and
does cross all political bounda-
rieS. Vice President Dick Nix
on was surrounded by familiar
faces in strange camp last
night when his neighbor and
political opponent, Senator
Estes Kefauver, tossed a party
in his honor.
The fact that 8-year-old
David Kefauver is in the same
class with little Pat Nixon and
they have been accused in the
past of giving each other val
entine looks had nothing to do
with it. Senator Kefauver
asked the Vice President if he
would come over and tell the
Democratic Senators about his
round-the-world trip. and Dick
Nixon accepted. 1t was a stag
dinner with all Democratic
Senators invited.

They continued on in college
until both earned their degrees.
although Mrs. Knowland's stu
dies were interrupted from time
to time by the arrival of two
babies. Married students weren't

am inclined to favor liberal

do what she wants.
Newspaper Interest
II have been very interested
in watching a lot of newspaper
people on the Oakland Tribune
that the Knowland family owns
(the Senator is assistant pub
liSher). We know many Of them
well, of course. 1t has always
seemed to me that the ones who
have worked out best are the
ones with the broad general
education. rather than the ones
who specialized in journalism
courses"
Regarding her own writing.
Mrs. Knowland says she doesn't
have any positive answers. Il
don't know that / know how !

ask me, and I know what I say.
But I'm not sure it's true. Any
