The warning parties in base

started to unleash verbal broad
sides, with Pitcher Bob Shaw
firing a high. hard one at the
Chicago White Sox and the
Milwaukee Braves issuing a
strongly worded ultimatum to
Outfielder Wes Covington.
Shaw told the Associated
Press: If the White Sox don't
want me, I don't want the
White Sox-I've yielded as

to be traded"

Two Records
Aid Outlook
For Business
By JACK LEFLER
Associated Press Business Writer

NEW YORK. Aug. 19-Two
record-breaking achievements
frightened the business pic
ture this week.
Personal income rose to a
new annual peak in July
and industrial production in
creased for the fifth consecu-
tive month.
These developments cal m e
while businessmen were en-
crossed with the possibilities
of what may come out of the
Berlin crisis.
The Commerce Department
reported that personal income
climbed to an annual rate of
$421.8 billion last month. This
was a gain of $4.5 billion over
June and Sill billion over
July, 1860.
The Federal Reserve Boards
index measuring production
moved up two points to 112
per cent of the average for
1857. The previous high was
Ill in January, 1860.
Requests of home buyers for
Federal Housing Administra-
ton mortgages increased in
July to the highest level in IL
months. Applications reached
an annual rate of 249, 900. Of
ficialS said the gain probably
was due to lower mortgage in
tereSt rates.
The United Auto Workers
ordered strike votes at the
plants of General Motors,
Chrysler and Ford this week
end as the August 81 contract
termination date neared.
The Federal Reserve Board
found out in a survey that in
July the number of families
planning to buy new cars in
the next six months was the
greatest for the last three
summers.

Association OF Washington.
Mr.. Dawes made the COM
ment to The Star yesterday in
releasing January-July figures
for member hotels showing a
drop of four-tenths of one per
cent in occupancy in 1861 from
the period last year.
I'VE had a steady decline in
occupancy in the last 10 years,
the official added. II can't see
any so-called need for more
space when association hotels
had more than 950,000 room
nights vacant last year"
The Association uses room
night as a yardStick in meas
uring its business. The unit
mean use of one hotel room for
one night.
Figures Cited
The Downtown Committee
based its statement on pre-
liminary findings of a study by
the Stanford Research In
stitute of visitors to the Wash
ington area. The study showed
that about Sc million persons
stay in the area at least one
night while here.
The Hotel Association rep
resents 35 hotels within the
District. The Stanford study
embraces the entire area in
Guiding Maryland and Virginia
suburbs.
Mr.. Dawes report said that
despite a strong increase in
member sales last month, up
1872 per cent in revenues from
rooms, food and beverages over
July, 1860, the seven months
occupancy figure was off due
to "the steady increase in avail
able transient accommoda-
tions, especially in nearby Vir-
glnla and Maryland.
Rivalry Sharpened
The rivalry between District
hotels and suburban hoStelrieS
for the tourist dollar has been
sharpened this year by a rro-
posal from District Commis-
sioners to raise the present 3
per cent tax on downtown hotel
rooms to 5 per cent.
The Hotel Association. rep
resented by Mr.. Dawes, opposed
the idea in a Senate Subcom-
mittee hearing. Maryland and
Virginia now have a 3 per cent
tax on transient rooms, and the
downtown hotels fear an in
crease would drive tourists in
creaSingly to suburban motels.
A survey last year by the
Hotel Association showed that
more than 4,300 room accom-
modations had been created
since 1857 in the area.

cess of such a public service cam

grams value to the nation can be
judged in many ways.
In 1941 there were more than
210 thousand forest fires which
burned more than 80 million acres
of forest land. In 1868, with many
more people using the forest areas,
less than 100 thousand fires burned
just over 8 million acres.
Smokey Bear has been credited
with saving the United States $40
billion in board feet of timber that
didn't burn, in recreation areas that
were not destroyed, and in water
sheds that were not blackened.

Cusick has grown with the Still

on this as a distinct responsibility

A Good Man To Have Around
Maurice Cusick

Maurice Cusick has been around
a long time, "a years with the state,
the longest tenure of any person
now in the employ of the State For
ester.
Cusick came to Montana when
but two years of age and settled with
the family in the Kalispell area. His
father was farmer and Maurice
got an early start in the woods. He
explains that he started with the
state as bush pilot in 1928. That
is he picked up bush and piled it.
He also was packer-these were
the days when roads were few in
the State Forests.
In 1881 a forest fire ravaged his
parents home and Cusick has been
dedicated to fire suppression ever
since. In one year, 1910, he was on
rs different fires. He estimates he
may have been on $50 fires, it's prob
ably closer to twice that.
Cusick became fire warden of
the Saltwater District in 1886. To-
day he is fire warden for the whole
operation of the Office of the State
Forester. He is forester of the old
school and has done just about every
job in the field, from public infor-
nation to plumbing, and his artistic
touch with wood adorns many of
the state forestry buildings.
In recounting his experiences,
Maurice tells of many things from
roads on Mount Whitney
70 watching trees grow. 1t is in this
after vein that his real feeling for
he job comes to light.
Today he can take you to a plot
