Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank
Issues Digest Of July Business
REVIEW Fl Md Year Look
at Business Actiyity"

The halfway point for the year
is behind us. All of the mid-year
figures haven't been registered as
yet, but it's about that time when
business forecasters take a look
around them to see if the totals
are shaping up as projected.
Some readers may remember that
in December 1856 the Business Re-
view Of the Federal Reserve Bank
of Philadelphia made its annual
forecast for 1857. AT that time the
Review looked for G. N. P. to be
about 500 billion higher than the
total for 1856. This projection was
somewhat higher than many other
forecasts.
In 1856 G. N. P. was about $412
billion. By the final quarter of that
year spending tOtalled $424 billion
on a seasonally adjusted annual
basis. On this basis, G. N. p. was
1927 billion in the first quarter of
1867 and about $430.5 billion in
the second quarter.
These totals suggest that in the
brOadest sense the economy is per-
forming pretty much as projected
back in December. For example, if
the rate of growth in the first half
of the year carries into the sec
ond half, G. N. P. for the year
would total just about $432 billion
in 1857 or $40 billion higher than
in 1856.
Looking within this broad mea-
sure the surprises are not many.
Government spending has been
very strong, as projected. If any
thing, it has bee1 somewhat higher
than expected. Businessmen nave
liquidated some inventory so far
this year. II this liquidation per-
sists it would constitute mild sur
prise. Business spending on plant
and equipment has been proceed
ing almOt exactly as expected. Con-
sumer spending, too. is holding
very close to what was anticipated.
The almost do2ile LehaviOr OF
business activity in the first half
of this year makes predicting the
second half hazardous indeed. On
the other hand, a total spending
figure of about $432 billion looks
a lot more possible in July than
it did last December So We'll stick
with that prediction and say that

the second half of the year may
show about the same rate Of grow
tn as the first half.
The Philadelphia Area
Business activity in the Phila-
delphia Metropolitan Area has
Jagged behind the rest of the ma
ton for the past Few years. How
ever, over the first half of 1857 this
situation may have reversed itself.
We say may have" because no
overall measure of business activ-
ity-such as Gross National Pro-
duct-exists for the Philadelphia
area. 1t is possible only to look at
various snapshots" of the business
scene.
Certainly employment and un-
employment behaved better in this
area than for the rest of the nation
in the first part of 1857. The cart
shows the changes in employment
and unemployment as compared
with a year ago for January, March
and May. In the Philadelphia area,
employment rose faster and un-
employment showed more decline.
Still, unemployment remains a rela-
lively larger part of the work force
in Philadelphia CSC per cent? than
in the nation (3.7 per cent.
1t is very heartening that after
about three years of decline, man
ufacturing employment is bounc-
ing back in this area. The chart
shows the record of pluses here as
compared with the more moderate
changes nationally. Non-electrical
machinery makers and apparel
manufacturers have led the year
to-year gains
On the other hand, retail trade,
as reflected by department store
sales and automobile registrations,
has not been going as well in the
Philadelphia area. The charts
show the story month by month. AS
can be seen, sales figures of local
department stores and automobile
dealers generally have Jagged be-
hind national totals.
1t is difficult to predict what
will happen to the Philadelphia
totals in the second half of the
year. All of the signs seem favor
able. Maybe, like the nation, it is
most likely that the last six
months will progress much like
the first six months.

the Paul Bunyan Of catfish.
Like members of the Rock
Greek Mole Fishing and Chow
der Society who may be seen
most any day in convention on
the river bank, to Gasch cat
fishing is the acme of the an
Cling sport.
Gasch has a trout camp in
Nova Scotia and a bass pond in
Virginia, but he prefers cat
fishing. From Ictalurus Fur
catus (blue cat). Ictalurus Pun
ctatus (channel cat) to plain
old mud cat or yellowbelly, it
makes no difference.
Below Seneca Breaks
i've never fished for the big
one." the Virginian says, but
I've seen him many times. He's
usually a mile to a mile and a
half below the Seneca Breaks. +"
Gasch, who says a 30-pounier
is the largest he himself has
caught, says the catfish are
coming back after pollution al
most drove them out. The low
point was in 1945 and as.
Contrary to popular belief,
they're not always nocturnal
feeders" he says. The ex-
ception is in the spring when
they bite on and off all day."
WOnderfulsin October
Catfishing is really wonder
full, he says, in October. Gasch
recalls visiting Sandy Landing
below Great Falls and catching
a 16-pounder. an 11-pounder
and a 9-pounder in As minutes.
Through the winter the fish
merely pick up and toy with
the bait, but in February they
start feeding again ravenously.
The key to successful cat
fishing. Gasch explains, is to
study an area closely and find
a deep hole with an eddy above
it. The catfish will be lurking
in the deep hole.
The best time to fish is after
a heavy rain when the river
muddies and then starts to
clear.

Whether you already own a
boat or not, you're bound to be
thinking about what boat you
would like to have, and when is
the best time to buy it. It's a
question I am often asked and
yet there is no simple answer.
1t depends. If it's your first
boat. half the battle is over
you don't have the problem Of
your old one. OF course,
deciding what you want and
what you can afford are two
different matters. Who ever
heard of anyone being able to
afford what they want, partic-
ularly with boats?
y y 4
Best Time to Buy
There are two schools of
thought about the best time to
buy boat. Some believe, as
far as used boats are concerned,
that the end of the season is
best because the owner is anx-
ious to sell. Others find the
best bargains just before the
season starts. I personally
don't think there's any better
time than when you yourself
are ready for it.
I've seen a lot OF good buys
smack in the middle of the
season. The most important
part of it all is getting the type
of boat you really want. If
you're not sure, by all means
rent, charter or borrow few
models before going
all out for one that really
doesn't suit you. In almost
every boating area there are
people who will be delighted to
show you the ropes. whether it's
sail, power or both. And above
all, relax and enjoy yourself.

Sail or Power?
One family I know had def

Their reasons were we'll
founded. With two youngsters
in the crew it was their idea
that a sailboat was the best
way to get acquainted with
handling boats.

plant where the air was

necessity of gaining the fish.
The hook must be sharp to
imbed itself in the catfish's
tough mouth. If the hook
doesn't have a long shank. use
a short piece of wire for q
leader.
Sheet lead makes the best
sinkers, Gasch says, and the
best system is to put on the
sinker first so the hook floats.
Gasch built his own catfish
ing rod from a stiff, old bam-
boo pole. He fashioned brass
plumbing tubing into a real
seat and held it on with tire
tape.
Though the biggest cat he
has caught weighed 80 pounds,
he says he has caught several
that weighed between Is and
20 pounds. One time, Gasch
recalls, he caught 30-pounder
and invited a crowd to help
eat it. The fish was too greasy
and they wound up eating ham.
GrasshOppers Good Bait
Some people say liver is
good bait" Gasch says. THAT
isn't so. Some suggest strips Of
mackerel or bluefish. They
aren't good either.
when I was a youngSter
used chicken innardS, but there
are better bats. The best in
the summertime for small cat
fish is graSshoppers. the best
for big cats is butterfish. Cut
a filet off either side and hook
it so the meat is showing and
not the skin.
You can also use mussels OF

Sour dough mixed with cheese
is good. To make this get a
deep iron skillet and mix 20
per cent flour with 80 per cent
corn meal. Boil a small guam
tity of water in the skillet and
stir IN the flour and corn meal
mixed with a little sugar Add
pieces of cheese to the dough
when it has cooled.
In the fall use cut spot for
bait and as the weather gets
cold try fish entrails. Change
to herring in March and use this
until May Is"
Fry or BrOiI Fillets
To prepare a catfish for the
table, Gasch recommends get
ting a sharp filleting knife.
Starting at the vent, you cut of
the belly. You then cut around
the head, skin the fish and
fillet. In the summertime, the
fish is put in a spring branch
to freshen and get rid of the
muddy taste before filleting In
cold weather this is not neces-
sary.
The f1llets are rolled in corn
meal, put in a hot skillet with
a little fat and fried until dry
and crisp. He compares the
taste to the best paddock.
AS another method of cook
ing. Gasch suggests digging a
pit in the ground 2 feet deep
and putting a grating over the
top. Basic the catfish f1llets
with melted butter and wor-
cestershire sauce and broil.

ture disturbance and that the
temperature gradient in the
snow bridging a crevass would
not normally be the same as
the temperature gradient on
either side. Very small differ
ences in surface temperature
a little as a hundredth of a de-
gree centigrade-can be de-
tected with an infra-red radio
meter located thousands Of
feet from the surface. This is
the basis for the air-borne sys-
tenn for locating and mapping
crevaSSes. or detecting any sub
surface structure which causes
a difference in surface tenn
perature. This work is under
the direction of DR.. B. Lyle
Hansen. chief Of the technical
equipment branch here.
In connection with the cleo
tronic detector development DIR.
Olds has found it necessary
to blast open some Of the Gre
vases to determine their &C
tual size for checking against
the indications given by the
device. In this way came dis
covery of the vast blue cham
bers, Of which the crevasses
themselves are the doorways.
This blue ice valley" itself
is the most picturesque site at
which the engineers have set
up q camp. It is a small valley
literally with slopes Of sky-blue
ice-that is, ordinary Arctic
glacier ice from which the
snow cover has been blown
away by the pattern of pre-
vailing winds. The camp itself
consists Of a small group of
"wanigans" - essentially trail
ers mounted on large sleds
which are hauled from place
to place by tractors and pro-
vide adequate living quarters.

Cling. He couldn't see any floor
below It was like the throne
room Of ice royalty. Presumably
there are millions of such
throne rooms inside the icecap.
Here in this wierd valley near
the head Of one Of the largest
glaciers, one Of the best known
in Greenland, are centered the
crevasSe studies Of the Army
engineers. It is one Of the most
difficult crevaSsed areas in the
Far North. The crevasSeS are
great cracks in the ice sheet.
They range in width from 2 to
8 feet to is or 20. On the sur
face they are completely in
visible, being covered with
snow. Sometimes this snow
cover is strong enough to sup
port q man or Q vehicle. Some
times it is so thin that either
would be plunged to unfathom-
able depths at which rescue
might well be impossible.
Beautiful Setting
At least some Of these Gre
vases, DR.. Olds and his asso-
ciateS have found. expand some
distance below the surface into
the almost indescribably beau
tiful palaces.
Since the earliest days of
Arctic exploration these Gre
vases have constituted q major
terror Of explorers. Many have
lost their lives by falling into
them. The openings are hid
den under the snow although
there are indications of their
presence that a trained eye
usually can detect. But with
visitors becoming more nu-
merous and engineer camps
increasing, detection no longer
can be left to lunches" Of
alleged experts.
Major objective Of the work
here is development Of q
crevasSe detector. One such, an
electronic device which is car
ried in front Of q weasle, or
snow tractor, was developed by
the Southwest Research Insti-
tute Of San Antonio. It has
proved fairly successful. but is
somewhat clumsy to operate
and obviously requires con-
siderable modification for gen.
eral use. A buzzer sounds in
side the weasle as q crevaSse
is approached within q few
feet. There is. however, no IN
formation as to the size Of the
ice crack or whether the snow
bridge is strong enough to sup
port the vehicle. These features
must be determined by prob
ings. Progress across the ice
naturally must be very slow.
Air Survey Possible
Another development may
make it possible to detect from
the air the number and loca-
ton Of crevasses over a large
area. Data obtained last sum-
mer showed that a crevasS is a
source Of appreciable tempera-
