the peak, Mr.. Jones estimates.
This compares with a Federal
Reserve Board estimate of 10
per cent drop for the entire
country.
Retail trade here is off by 2 per
cent, according to official figures,
but Mi Jones estimates the drop
is closer to 4 per cent.
"It's caution, not a recession
here" he says.
Customers are waiting to see
what's coming. Soft good sales
are holding up well. But there
had been some drop in appliance
purchases. This could be because
consumers are waiting for prom
lSed excise tax cuts before buy
ing. Better auto sales are re-
ported in the last two weeks.
Workers. Appear Happier.
More men are out of work here
than this time last year, but the
raise in unemployment is not
enough to be at all serious, Mr..
Jones believes. UnSkilled labor
is affected most. A leading con-
tractor tells Mr.. Jones that he
can now pick and choose in
hiring. that men are working
better, and that they seem to
be happier to have job.
Mr.. Jones had his own personal
slant for not being too alarmed:
AT 80 I'm a bit calmer about
things than when I was younger.
They have been full years for
me. good years. I'm satisfied"

Mr.. Jones, who still sticks
close to his job as builder. pub
Usher and banker, said it's past
time for America to climb off
it's stills of boom and debt.
He thinks that if it doesn't,
the economy may be heading
for a sharper tumble.
One silt - as the man who
held Federal posts under Presi-
dents Wilson, Hoover and Frank
lin D. Roosevelt sees its the
great boom in production for
defense and for overseas allies
and the building of industrial
capacity to a level over and
above what the American civil
ian economy needs.
The other silt is the huge
total of debt at all levels: gov
ernmental, corporate and per-
sonal. An economy striding too
high on debt worries many
others. also.

I'm not an optimist for the

because its stills are too high.

7 Years After Coup, SoIh
Forms Lebanon Cabinet
BY the Associated Press

BEIRUT, Lebanon, Sept. IT.
Opposition leader Sami Solh
finally formed the cabinet today
he had been expecting to lead
ever since a coup kicked out
President Bechara Khoury two
years ago.
He got his long deferred
chance following the resignation
last week of Prime Minister Alb
dullaah Yafi.
Solh dramatically resigned the
premiership in 1852 after bitterly
denouilcing Kho urys When
Khoury was ousted later in the
year. Solh expected to be named
to head the cabinet. ys I'D
Khoury's successor, President
Camille Glamour, refused to call
on Solh, however, until the most
recent crisis. In the interim Solh
led the opposition both in Parlia-
ment and in public demonstra-
tions.
b Following the usual pattern,
the new cabinet is made up of a
combination of the country's re-
ligious sects - three Maronite
Christians, one Greek Orthodox,
a Druze, three Sunnite Moslems
and Roman Catholic.

Dr.. Lowry Says U. 5.
Must Fight Cold War

DR.. Charles w. Lowry, chair
man of the Foundation for Re-

of Trinity Episcopal Church, Ar
lington. Va. last night that
Americans must accept the
reality of the cold war situation. +"
But the former rector of All
Saints Episcopal Church, Chevy
Chase. Md, warned that "as long
as communism is communism I.
we must intensity and strive for
the initiative in the struggle that
is thrust upon us and the world.
For, mark this well, communism
by its nature, history, essential
structure and being, is organized
violence"
DR.. Lowry also warned against
,"the temptation to preventive
war" Pointing out that a pre-
ventive war would destroy both
sides and leave civilization in
ruins, he added the opposite po-
.sition Of "pacifism or neutralism
or fear of war r.. is equally dis
astrous and equally immoral"
while setting ourselves against
war, We must not fear even
atomic war if it comes and must
be ready with a retaliatery ca
pacity that is truly terrible If the
adversary, is mad enough to
break the uneasy peace Of cold
war struggle"
