Economist Says
Initiation Danger
Is Exaggerated

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va,
Aug. 90 (AP).-A New York
economist said here yesterday
the danger of imitation has
been somewhat exaggerated"
in recent weeks and "a modest
business recovery seems likely"
DR.. Murray G. Lee, secretary
of the American Bankers AS
sociation's economic policy
commission. spoke to some 200
Virginia bankers attending the
one-week school sponsored by
the Virginia Bankers ASSocia-
ton. The session is being held
at the University of Virginia.
The really troublesome fac
tor" DR.. Lee said, sis the long
term one of gradual erosion of
the dollar due to wage increases
in excess of production gains.
"All of us should be doing
some mighty hard thinking
about this.
None of us has anything to
gain from this slow treadmill
of wage-price increases. and
most of uS-including labor
have much to lose"

ufacturers picked up in July,
and their sales showed an in
crease too, the Commerce De-
partment said today.
The amount of manufacture
ers' stocks on hand also con-
tinued to drop, but not as fast
as during the previous month,
the department said.
New orders received in July
we're placed at 1858 billion on
a seasonally adjusted basis, UP
$500 million from June and $1.3
billion from May.
Manufacturers sales amount
ed to $24.7 billion during July,
up 2 per cent from June after
taking into account seasonal
variations, the department said.
Inventory book values of
manufacturers were listed at
$49.5 billion at the end of July,
of nearly $4.5 billion from a
year earlier. However, the in
ventory drop between July and
June, on a seasonally adjusted
basis, was only $500 million as
against a I700 million drop be-
tween June and May.

Auto Production
At Low FIGURE

DETROIT, Aug. 20 (AP).-
United States auto makers will
build 14.424 cars and 8,005
trucks this week. Automotive
News said yesterday.
The total, one of the lowest
in the postwar period. reflects
continuing model changeover
shutdowns and some work stop
pages due to labor disputes in
factories where 1859 model
work had started.
Last week United States fac
tories built 26,118 cars and $3.50
trucks.
The trade paper places Au-
gust output in United States
plants at 17S,100 cars and a.
104 trucks. The totals are the
lowest since July, 1852.
Ford Motor Co.'s Mercury
Division completed production
yesterday of its 1858 line of
cars. It announced a COM
plete retooling operation will
start next week for 1859 model
assemblies.
Mercury has built approx
mately $4,000 cars so far this
year compared with about 213,-
600 in the like 1857 period.

Credit Unions
Join in Suit
Against NTEA

The Credit Union National
Association, to which most area
credit unions belong. has joined
in a suit under the antitrust
laws to restrain alleged tactics
Of the National Tax Equality
Association.
1t has become a cocomplain-
ant with the National Milk
Producers Federation, which
previously filed the suit against
the tax group in United States
District Court here.
Commenting on the CUNA
action, approved at a meeting
in MadisonA Wis, on August Q,
Managing Director H. Vance
Austin said the credit union
movement and its organizations
have been abused by advertis-
ing and publicity campaigns of
NTEA and its Bankers Com
mittee for many years.
Our sole interest in joining
the suit is to protect credit
unions in this country from
unjust attacks" he declared.
The milk producers suit in
District Court is based on a
recent precedent-setting case
won by a truckers association
against a group Of railroads in
a Fe deral court in Pennsyl-
vania.
In the truckers case, the
court ruled in essence that a
group cannot campaign pri-
marily with the intent Of in
juring competitors, and de-
clared such action a violation
of the antitrust laws, the
CUNA official said. He ex-
pressed an opinion that the
milk producers case parallels
the truckers case in all major
respects.
Attorney Julius Stone, CUNA
vice president and chairman Of
the associations legal and leg
iSlative committee said it was
prudent for CUNA to join the
existing action to assure that
any restraint imposed on NTEA
by the court would apply to
activities aimed at credit
unions.
Mr.. Austin said there is rea-
son to believe that only a very
small minority of the Nations
financial institutions are repre-
scented among NTEA supporters.

cuSSionS from the failure Of
of the 85th Congress to pass a
housing bill, he said. Washing
ton will be one of the cities
hardest hit, he warned.
The FNMA action will de-
prive residents of suburban
Washington counties from par
ticipating in benefits of relo-
cation housing, he declared.
Mr.. Haas referred to persons
displaced by the current high
way and public building pro-
grams.
The FNMA decision to 'ad-
Just purchase prices Of mort
cages to market conditions
means that, displaced families
and Sowners of houses under
condemnation or code enforce
ment order will have to pay
more money to obtain flnanc-
ing, he said.
This is a blow below the
belt against the economically
weakest benef1ciaries Of this
legislation and it is more than
doubtful if these low income
groups can carry the added
burden" he added.
q Moreover, although the in
crease at present amounts only
to one-half Of one per cent, it
is entirely within the discretion
of FNMA to extend the dis
count to what the traffic will
bear.
"a step like this is all the
more deplorable," Mr.. Haas
said, because relocation houS-
ing under Section 221 is the
only phase of urban renewal
that does not cost the taxpayers
a penny: All loans are made
without grants, aid or contri-
buttons from Government
funds. If the yield to these
loans is pared down by the ad-
ministration it is obvious that
soon enough mortgage money
for relocation housing will be
again unobtainable and our
cities will be unable to cope
with growing blight and urban
decay"

CHRISTMAS-l958

Christmas is many things; snow an sleds, holiday from
work the light in children's eyes and the JOY OF a feast.
Christmas is even more: a time for prayer and worship:
a time of meditation about the story OF the birth OF a child
in a distant land.
Christmas is a combination of all these things, but we feel
that everyone, regardless of religious belief, should celebrate
the occasion in some way or another manifesting love for our
fellowmen.
With these thoughts in mind, let us take the time to give
thanks to Him for his many blessings; let US reaffirm our
faith; let us ask for his guidance.
AS individuals, and as a nation, let us on Christmas day
pray for the less fortunate people of the world that they may
find new hope; let us pray for peace and that the nations OF
the earth may dwell in harmony.
Pray that we may find this Christmas new vision, courage
and inspiration to face each tomorrow.
We leave you with these thoughts and our very best wishes
for a Merry Christmas.
