But the first 10 steel COM

down 38 per cent. 13 chemical
companies averaged 7 per cent
below a year ago, and five textile
companies among them had a

None of the big auto makers
had reported yet. but with pro-
duction down from a year ago
it's expected profits will be also.
The first three airlines showed
a sharp dip.
Preliminary indications were
that chain and department
stores were keeping fairly close
to last year, and that the movie
industry was equaling or keeping
slightly ahead of 1853.
To what extent elimination

matte note between Russia and
the West over the role of Red
China at the Geneva Conference
made it clear this problem in
itself would be major issue to
be worked out before the con-
ferees in Switzerland ever would
come to the specific questions for
which they were convened.
Russia formalized her demand
that the Communist Chinese

Foreign Minister Chou En-Lai
