sional committee why he is not issuing mid
year report this year he merely replied that
it was optional under the terms of the Full
Employment Act.
One guess was that Burns and professional
economists were reluctant to get mixed up
with a political document issued under the
guise of an economic statement.
The political nature of the document was
highlighted in one paragraph which read,
"Since 1852 was the best year before this
administration took office, it follows that
economic activity of late has been higher
than at any time before the administration
assumed responsibility. And since 1858 was
still better year than 1854 is turning out to
be, it follows that the overall performance
of the American economy thus far during this
administration has been better than during
any earlier time

Retail Sales Decline;
Other SIumps Reported

By Labor's Daily News Service
Sales of all retail stores in the
United States ran 2 per cent below
sales for 1858 on a half-year basis,
the Census Bureau reports.
The bureau declared that for
most kinds of business, cumulative
sales for the first six month of 1854
were generally behind those for the
comparable period in 1858.
The heaviest declines were noted
in the lumber, building, hardware
group and the automotive group,
with drops of seven and six per
cent respectively.

Railroad Lays Off 375
In Its Shops

PADUCAH, Effective Friday,
375 employees in the Illinois Central
Railroad shops here will be laid off
indefinitely, C. T. Eaker, shop super
intendent, announced.
The cut, one of the most drastic
since the depth of the depression, will
leave only skeleton force of 285
craftsmen, the superintendent said.
All crafts were affected, but hard
est hit were the machinists, 165 of
whom lost jobs. Many of the 165 ma
chinists have worked in the Paducah
shops 80 years or more.
A general decline in the railroads
business was given as the reason for
the reduction in force.

India has little crude oil of its own.
the National Geographic Society
points out. The only working fields
of Importance are in Assam province
IN the northeast. They produce less
than tenth of the demand.
OIL HUNT ON
midas oil imports have come large
~ from the Middle East. Iran was
the chief source until troubles over
the industry's naturalization there
cut off the supply.
Now, however, the Indian Govern
ment is preparing not only to process
imported petroleum but also is seek
ing domestic wells. Intensive pros
pecting is going on both in Assam and
nearby West Bengal province.
More and cheaper oil will aid In

Condition of Nafion's Economy
Reason for Plenty of Worry

The big propaganda drive of the
administration during the coming
election campaign will be that it has
stabilized" the economy, that every
thing has "leveled off,, and that
there should be no cause for worry.
That there is plenty of cause for
work was made clear last week in
publication entitled TOWARD FULL
EMPLOYMENT AND FULL PRO
DUCTION put out by the Confer
ence on Economic Progress, a non
partisan group headed by Leon H.
Keyserling, former chairman of the
Presidents Council of Economic Ad-
visors.
According to this study, the 'lev-
cling off" of which the administra-
ton boasts has so far cost the
nation:
1. Unemployment amounting to
million full time jobs.
2. Production 10 below full pro-
duction.
3. Purchasing power at least $27
billion below full purchasing
power.
If the economy stays at the pres
ent level, the study adds, by early
next year we will have:
l. Unemployment amounting to
million full ltime jobs.
2. Production 1919 below full pro-
duction.
3. Purchasing power at least $50
billion below full purchasing
power.
The reason this is so, the study
is that the average work
ar's output per man hour is increas-
ing and the total number of people
available for work is increasing. To
keep pace, production has to expand
steadily.
Instead of standing still, the con-
ference points out, we have to
register a 1920 gain in total out
put each year if we are to have full
employment and full production.
With a 4.2%o yearly gain in total
output the country, by the end of
1860, could have:
l. 70 million people at work. :
2. 400 more production.
3. Production workers in manu- (
featuring earning $4,000 a year {

YOU NEVER--WELL, ALMOST NEVER.-HhD IT SO GOOD
President Eisenhower Said So Last Week

. President Eisenhower Said SO Last We
The Presidents statement put out by the
White House last Thursday contended that
the business decline is over that it was
minor decline but we'll noticed that there
are signs of economic improvement, the value
Of the peoples money has remained intact,
and the future looks pretty good.
There substantial indications that
the Presidents statement was more in the
nature of political than economic docu-
ment. 1t followed the administration line
that everything is just peachy.
Considered significant was the fact that
the statement was put out by the White House
as merely a statement rather than as mid
year report by the Presidents Council of Eco
nomic Advisors. It has been the practice in
the past for the council to issue a mid-year
report and failure of the council to do so this
year aroused speculation.

for a full years work instead
of $4,000.
4. An average standard of living
$3.50 higher.
5. Average retirement benefits of
1925 instead of $53.
6. $40 billion more farm income
per year and $12 billion more
per year in corporate profits.
7. A decent home for every family,
no poverty, and no gaps in edu
cational and health facilities
and services.
8. A balanced federal budget with
20%o reduction in taxes.
The immediate program proposed
by the conference to reach this goal
in five years includes increased gov
eminent spending by So billion, re-
duction of taxes by 81 p billion in
way that will add to the purchasing
power of consumers in low and middle
income groups, easy credit at low
interest rates, fair price supports, in
creased employment compensation
and social security benefits, substan-
tial increases in the minimum wage
law, increased wages, reduced prices,
housing legislation to build 2 million
homes a year, more business invest
ment, and liberalized international
trade policy.
"In the long rum" the report con-
cludes, "the degree of the economic
Iiteracy of the American people at
large will shape the course of our
economy. This imposes upon all a
to learn, and upon
many responsibility to teach and
persuade. In domestic no less than
world affairs, we may be in an ulti-
nate race between understanding and
destruction. "-CIO-PAC.

the smoke cleared and the
Fifth Annual California State
Bowling Tourney was over.
The 1854 tourney with 20
five man teams entered was
the largest such event held
and as such it operated
smoothly and efficiently. The
latter characteristics can be
attributed to experience on
the part of the committee and
the willingness of the bowlers
to cooperate as per schedule.
Luka Konjevod, local men,
ber of the Supreme Trial
Board, rolled the first ball to
open the two-day event. From
then on it was a royal battle
and perusal of the official
tournament scores readily re-
veals that we had top notch
keglers entered.

bowlers from this lodge fl
nally broke into the winners
circle. Not since 1850 at the

has the Vests largest lodge
been able to score among the
higher-ups. AS you will note
