Retirement Funds
For U. 5. Workers
Show Big Increase

Federal employees retirement
funds have increased over ten
fold since 1940-from $3.50 mil
lion to $50 billion. the Federal
Reserve Bank Of Richmond said
today.
The bank pointed out that the
railroad retirement fund has ex-
hihited the most striking growth
over the period-from $40 mil
lion in 1910 to $3.3 billion In
1854 42-fold increase.
United States agencies and
trust accounts now hold nearly
20 per cent of all Government
securities outstanding. the bank
declared. 1t contrasted this with
1880 when they held only 6 per
cent.
During this period, the bank
said, one large new account was
sstablished-the National Service
life insurance fund, covering in.
Surance for veterans of World
War II. This fund now amounts
to over SIS billion or about 80 per
cent of the total of the veterans
Insurance funds, it explained.
The largest of the trust funds
is the old age and survivors
insurance trust fund, which
now holds about $19 billion in
Government securities or about
40 per cent of all Government
trust fund holdings" said the
banks report. Largely be-
cause of its size, this fund has
been the center of the continue
ing controversy over pay-as-
you-go versus reserve financing"
Although there are more than
SO Government trusts and agen-
cles holding Government obliga-
tons, the greater portion of the
total is held BY a relatively few
accountable old age and sur.
vivors insurance trust fund.

with the railroads and oils. The
steels were mixed as were the
utilities, aircrafts and kindred
industries.
Studebaker, whose workers
voted a pay cut to keep in COM
petition, posted and maintained
fractional advance in fairly ac-
tive trading. American Motors,
whose Nash Division announced
an Is per cent production in
crease, was quite active and
higher.
Billiard quickly gained be-
tween 2 and 3 points when it
reported first half earnings equal
to $3.50 a share as against 1886
a year ago.
Gabriel backed down when di-
rectors deferred dividend action.
Electric e. Musical Industries
gained ground in a great furry
of activity that brought out
many blocks, some as large as
$4,000 shares.
Corn Exchange, talking merger
with Chemical Bank. had one
period of cratic price swings
over a range of / to 71a points
lower.
The bond market was irregu-

Out Of Bankruptcy
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The
Long Island Railroad, the worlds
busiest commuter line, is out of
bankruptcy, fares are up an
average 20 per cent and a 500
odd million rehabilitation pro-

Rapid-fire developments yes

Economy Hard Hit

The bank said the districts
economy has been hard hit,
particularly in cuts in Govern
ment operations in the District
of Columbia and elsewhere;
curtailment in the bituminous
coal mining areas and in shut
downs of ordnance installations.
The Fifth Federal Reserve Dis
trict includes West Virginia,
Maryland, Virginia. North and
South Carolina and the District.
Bright spots in the districts
economy are fairly numerous, I"
said the midyear roundup. 1.-THE
construction industry deserves
special mention, with unusual
strength in the residential seq
ment and in the commercial
field. The trade level has held
at a remarkably high level thus
far in 1854.
Zone of the strongest factors
in the districts economy is the
banking situation and bankers
reactions toward their customers
requirements. At midyear, real
estate and consumer loans of the
weekly reporting banks were at
all time high levels, while BUSH
ness loans showed a consider
ably smaller decline than usual
in recession periods. Through
out this recession, there has been
little pressure by banks to liqui-
date business loans: consequent
ly, the inventory adjustment has
been an orderly processiond GER
tainly one of the important ex-
plantations for the moderate
nature of the decline"
