PHILADELPHIA, May 20. -
Norman Thomas said today that
for the first time in the party's
54-year history, the Socialists
probably will have no presiden-
tial and vice presidential candi-
dates when the 1856 campaign
rolls around.
And turning to world affairs.
the 69-year-old. longtime leader
of the party told the 29th an

he favors Red China's entry into
the United Nations provided
that country agrees to a nom
aggression pact in Asia.

main speakers at the memorial
weekend gathering of about $50
delegates from 10 States.

Sorry, but as yet ] cannot
answer that one. Overcalls are
based principally on playing
tricks. The point count tables
currently in use do not ade-
quately measure playing tricks.
Therefore you cannot measure
overcalls in point count at the
moment. I am working right
now on a solution to this prob
lem. Watch for my new book
which will accurately translate
playing tricks to point count.
Though neither Mr.. Masters
nor Mr.. Dale had an opening bid
In today's hand. Mr.. Masters did
have enough playing tricks for
an overcall in spite of the fact
that his spade suit was far from
solid. His willingness to overcall
enabled his side to buy hand
which otherwise would have
belonged to their opponents at
four hearts.
Excellent Play.
Since four hearts was ice cold,
o or 2 trick set at four spades
would nave been quite q salts

actually made his bid by excel.
lent play.
The queen Of diamonds was
led and Mrs. Keen won with the
ace. She returned the jack and
Mr.. Masters won with the king.
With the double on his right it
appeared that two spade leads
from dummy would be necessary.
Accordingly a club was led to
the ace and a spade returned.
Sees Danger.
Mrs. Keen played the ten and
the queen won. 1t was a temp
tation to try this procedure
again, but Mr.. Masters saw the
danger in it. If he led another
club to the board and returned
q spade. Mrs. Keen could win
with the ace of spades, under
lead her ace of hearts to Mr..
Meek's queen and ruff the club
return.
Mr.. Masters eliminated this
danger neatly by leading his
lone heart at trick i've. Now
there was no way for Mrs. Keen,
to reach her partners hand after
winning with the ace of spades
and no way to defeat the con-
tract.

burban stores monthly sales are
Outpacing sales in the center-citv
when the figures are put on an
index. This is further illustrated
in the second chart, which mea-
sures monthly sales in 1854 against
sales in the same month a year
ago. The black bars in the chart
show changes in center-city depart
ment-stOre sales. The gray bars
include sales of center-city and
suburban stores in the eight
county Philadelphia area.
Since the early part of the year.
sales in the eight-cOunty area have
held up much better than sales
measured only at center-city stores.
though both have generally run
below year ago. For example, for
the first eight months of 1854, sales
at center-city stores are z per cent
below year-agO levels. In the eight
county Philadelphia area, sales are
Just 2 per cent behind last year.
When the gap between the weekly
and monthly series became pro-
nOunced we began the task of ex-
panding the weekly report to show
the entire metropolitan area covered
in the monthly report With the CO.
operation of the stores in the area,
we are now able to report weekly
sales in the eight counties. Our
center-city series is being discon-
tinued to avoid possible misinter-
pretations in the future.
Trade Center Outside The
Philadelphia Area
Outside the Philadelphia area
there are many retail centers that
contribute substantially to the total
trade activity Of the Third Federal
Reserve District. Becaues of differ
ences in general economic cOndi-
tiOns, merchandising policies, ETC.,
department-stOTe activity varies
considerably in the sepaTlte
centers.
For many years our monthly de-
partment-stOre report has included
separate figures for several of the
larger metropolitan areas in the
district. A mhjOr feature of the
present revision Of the weekly re-
lease is the expansion of local in
formation to include six of the
major areas in the district. All Of
the stores in these areas that have
provided us with monthly figures
over the years have generously CO.
operated to make this improvement
in the weekly report possible
Analysts who in the past have
noted monthly changes in sales by
local areas may be surprised by the
size of some of the weekly per-
centage changes. Year-agO changes
on weekly basis are apt to fluc-
tuate rather widely. and too much
significance may easily be attached
to weekly change that may wash
out" over the course of a month.

philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank
Tells Of Revised Weekly
Department Store Release

Starting October 13, our weekly
report on department-store sales in
Philadelphia will cover the metro
pOlitan area instead of just the
center-city stores. Also, the weekly
report is expanded to include the
Lancaster Reading, Scranton,
Wilkes Barre, and Wilmington
areas for the first time.
For many years this Bank. had
been issuing "a weekly report on
department-stOre sales for the dis
trict and centeF-city Philadelphia.
This report gave an up-to-the-
minute indication Of trends in retail
sales in the district and its largest
commercial center. A much more
complete breakdown of department
store sales in the district was pro-
vided in our monthly report. In
the monthly breakdown, Philadel-
phia department-stOre sales were
measured on a metropolitan or
eight-cOunty area basis. Also,
department-store sales in seven
other principal trade areas of the
district were provided monthly.
CenteFscity And MetrOpOlitan-aFea
Philadelphia
For some months everyone who
watched Philadelphia department.
store sales has realized that the
weekly series (center-city stOres)
was tagging behind the monthly
series metropolitan nrea) mainly
because of the growth in number
and Importance of suburban stores.
Users of the data, however, fire.
quently overlooked the distinction
between the areas covered by the
two reports and this resulted in
misinterpretations. In addition, as
the gap between the two series
Widened the value Of center-city
figures as a general business in
dicatOr was impaired.
The accompanying charts illus
trate the different sales record of
center-city and suburban stores. In
the first chart, the solid line shows
center-city department-stOre sales
and the broken line, sales of subur-
ban stores. Both lines are on an
index with sales in January 1858,
taken las 100. AS can be seen,
changes in 1858 were not too differ
ent There did appear to be some
tendency for center-city stores to
make larger gains around the Eas-
ter and Christmas buying seasons
and for suburban stores to show
larger pluses in the off seasons.
But generally the center-city sales
figures provided a fair gauge of
retail trends in the whole Philadel-
phia arch
In 1854, however, all this has
changed. Suburban department
stores have usually gained faster
than their mid-city counterparts.
The gap between the lines in the
first chart has widened consider
ably in 1854 This means that SUI
