The writer's also advocated

Chairman Mcclellan made

head-on any attempt by Chi

subpoenaed witnesses into si-
lence.
The Arkansas Democrat
summoned two Chicagoans to
tell in public about what he
has called moves by hoodlums
to silence them, and to say
what it was the underworld
wanted them to conceal.
The committee will resume
Tuesday its hearings on al

Chicago labor rackets. and
shift in following weeks to con-
ditions in other cities.

that a crime syndicate fuled

billion.
Hopes that the second quar-.
ter viii show an improvement
were heightened BY q major
upward revision Of estimated
Federal outlays for goods and
services.
AS recently as q week ago
experts calculated that Federal
purchases In the second quar-
ter were at q seasonally adj
justed annual rate Of $50
billion.
Federal Outlay Rises
Government economists now
foresee q figure closer to $50
billion. This viii have an inn
portant bearing on the GIMP
estimate since Government
purchases are one Of the major
components of this indicator.
The January-March GIMP Of
1922 billion compared with a
record high Of $40 billion in
the third quarter of last year.
The Federal contribution in
the first quarter was figured
at about $50 billion.
- A sizable proportion Of the
increased Federal purchases in
the second quarter was ac-
counted for by greater-than-
expected commitments under
the farm price support pro-
gram.
Another important factor
was the $3.50 million retroac-
tive Federal pay increase. It
had been thought originally
that this would be entered in
the third quarter books al
though President Eisenhower

period. Now II has been de-
cided to credit these millions
10 the first half Of the year
the period in which Govern
ment workers earned the
money.
For the fiscal year which be-
gan July /, q further major
increase In Government pur-
chases Of goods and services is
predicted. This win add zip to
future GNP figures II the busi-
ness recovery is indeed getting
under way, as some economists
believe.
Retail Sales Gain
The largest single component
of GIMP is personal consump-
ton expenditures, which totaled
nearly 1880. .0o0. 900 In the
first quarter. There Is q good
prospect Of q significant sec
ond quarter rise here because
retail sales have perked up.
Personal income has risen and
c sumption expenditures
moved in close relation to in
come.
The third major GIMP item
gross domestic Investments
expected to fall of again be-
cause Of continued inventory
liquidation and cuts in business
spending for plants and equip
ment. However, plant and
equipment outlays have de-
clined at q slower pace In the
second quarter and housing has
made a recovery.
There Is a real possibility,
therefore, that the drop in do
nestle investments will not be
great enough to Offset increases
in other segments of the GIMP.

Live power lines, brought down

of much soil from adjacent fields
when it rains.
The road that is now closed, and
unfit for use, is located in the
Magnolia area. Highway Depart
ment Engineers report that farm
ers worked their plowing and cul-
tivating equipment back and forth,
between fields, across this road to
the extent that the surface was
completely destroyed.
With the sand and gravel on the
surface of the road being plowed
away, the base of the road was ex-
posed TO the recent freeze and
thaw period resulting III the COM
plete collapse of the road, making
it impossible until it is complete
ly rebuilt when weather condi-
tions will permit such operations.
Each spring season finds some
roads in parts of Kent and Sus-
sex Counties damaged by these
blowing and cultivating operations,
caused mostly by farmers working
to the edge of their fields and then
proceeding out on the roadway to
turn their equipment.
This causes the drainage bitches
to be destroyed and the dirt
shoulders along hard surfaced
roads to be damaged, as well as
removes the hedge-row, along the
edge of the field, causing the soil
from the edge of the field to flow
away during a heavy rain storm.
The repairing of this damage to
the roads by these farm opera
tions can be rather costly for the
State Highway Department, be-
cause of the amount of time and
use of equipment that is needed to
reopen the drainage bitches and
repair the dirt shoulders.
