@ CORPORATE RETURNS FOR 1982 ARE ONLY 12 PER CENT OF ’29 Statistics For 612 Big Firms Compiled; Railroads and Steel Hard Hit New York, March 21.—(7)—With most of the larger companies report- ed, it now appears that corporate earnings in 1932 were close to 12 per cent of the boomtime totals of 1929. A tabulation by Standard Statistics Co. shows that net earnings of 612 companies, including 36 railroads and 60 miscellaneous utilities, aggre- sted $354,564,000, compared to $1,- 38,488,000 in 1931, and $2,995,916,000 in 1929. Despite large deficits by such lines as steel and railroads, it appears from this tabulation that business as a whole, insofar as represented by larg- er corporations, managed to operate at a profit. ‘This was in part due to the rela-| tively good showing of the utility group, which showed its earnings re- duced only 26 per cent from 1929, but the industrial division, thanks to the comparative stability of such lines as food products, chemicals and tobacco, managed to show a small profit, amounting to $37,201,000 for 512 com- panies. This, however, was only about 2 per cent of the total for these same companies in 1929. ‘The 36 railroads showed a deficit of $85,517,000, compared to a profit Of $843,609,000 in 1929, but the largest deficit for any group in the tabulation appeared in that traditionally prince- and-pauper group, iron and steel. Here 27 companies showed an aggre- gate deficit of $119,385,000, against a profit of $321,847,000 in 1929. The group which showed earnings actually above 1929 were four cigaret companies, with net of $62,723,000. ‘This was a little under their peak year of 1931, when their profits to- talled $64,970,000, but was well above the 1929 figure of $56,086,000. Groups showing a relatively high tage of 1929 earnings included ‘utilities, 74 per cent; food products, 86 per cent; cigars and tobacco (ex- clusive of cigarets) 46 per cent; mis- cellaneous drugs and cosmetics, 64 per cent; miscellaneous services, 3 per cent; office and business equip- ment 33 per cent; chemicals (indus- trial), 32 per cent; leather and shoes 28 per cent; retail trade 20'2 per cent.

BiG NAVY MEN ARE HOPEFUL OF ACTION’ House Committee Chairman Wants Provision For More Ships and Planes Washington, March 21.—(4#)—The| men who want a bigger navy are hopeful that a few words in Presi- dent Roosevelt's general employment relief program will allow expenditure of $60,000,000 a year for 10 years on new ships. ‘This became known Tuesday when Chairman Vinson of the house naval committee said he had been working to that end and added: “I am making some headway.” As soon as Roosevelt's plan for making a start on the jobless prob- lem through a reforestation plan is out of the way, he intends to submit to congress another employment pro- gram involving construction of public works. Vinson’s idea is to include these words in that program: “The president is hereby author- ized further, in aid of relief of un- employment, to undertake the con- struction of vessels within the limits established by the London naval treaty of 1930, and of airplanes with- in the total number now authorized by law.” This, Vinson asserted, would permit. completion of three 8-inch gun, 10,- 000-ton cruisers; five flying deck cruisers; replacemtnt of 50,160 tons and 150 new airplanes as well as other ships. “The big thing to remember,” Vin- son said, “is that there is nothing| else on which the government could | spend money for unemployment re- lief and provide so much employment. Out of every dollar we spend on new ships, 85 cents is for labor.” Harvard University Names New President Boston, March 21—(®)—The Post says the Harvard corporation has made Professor Kenneth Ballard Murdock, native Bostonian and Har- vard graduate, its choice to succeed Dr. Abbott Lawrence Lowell as presi- dent of Harvard university.

Permission has been granted by the Interstate Commerce commission for continuing the emergency increases on state rates indefinitely beyond ‘March 31, which was previously set as the expiration time for the higher rates. ‘The carriers desire to continue the intrastate emergency rates increases on the same basis as has been auth- orized by the I. C. C., which includes two cents per 100 pounds on less- than-carload traffic, with minor ex- ceptions, and six cents per net ton on lignite coal, lignite coal briquettes, and sand and gravel. In the I. C. C. order permitting ex- tension of the increases beyond March 31, a majority of the commission made the exception there shall be no sur- charge on non-ferrous ores and con- centrate, and only one surcharge of six cents a ton in connection with the ‘transportation of lake-cargo coal from the originating mine to the ultimate destination. Under the former decision, coal from.the head of the lakes to North Dakota and other states was charged with the full six cents emergency in- crease, whereas such coal had already paid the full six cents from the east- ern mines to Lake Erie doeks. The North Dakota commission, at numerous hearings, opposed any in- creases. * O: * YOU CAN LEARN THE SECRET Send this coupen—end you'll wish you'd discovered, Outdoor Girl Beasty Products long ago!
