Telephones: News Office, 603; Business Office, 374 $38,700,000,000, or 70 per cent of total demand deposits, on July 31, 1943. Of the $18,000,000.000 increase in demand deposits since the end of 1941, it estimates that perhaps three-fourths have been in “business” accounts. On the basis of these data, the report observes: “Even now, busineéss in the aggregate may be approaching a position where its reconversion and $1.50 per month, tes: ce, $7.80; regularity in the de- MEMBER OF ASSGCIATED The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of all news dispatches credited to it or not other- wise credited in this paper and also the terein. immediate postwar expansion needs can be financed with a minimum of reliance on bank loans and other external financing.” This conclusion, if warranted, would have a profound mil'uence upon the policiés PRESS locsl news published NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Pourth M":su Bldg., Sealtle, Wash. adopted in connection with such important problems as the new tax bill, ‘renegotiation, handling of term- contracts disposition of Government- inated and owned plants. The basic data and conclusion, there- fore, must be examined carefully Firs t must be noted that the major part of “business” deposits is held by firms or companies not affected by the reconversion problem (for ex- ample, wholesale and retail trade, insurance and other financial companies, and public utilities). Part of this total might more appropriately have been included in individuals’ deposits—particularly much of the deposits of wholesale and retail trade. Substantially less than half of the “business” deposits were held by those companies most affected by post-war reconversion problems. Second, part of the “business” depesits are the it impossible to use the funds at this time.

HEART AND HOME: Again wo- men are subject to favorable plané- tary influences which strengthen them mentally and physically. The {configuration encourages hospitali- ties and promises happiness to many |aged persons as well as to the young. This is a lucky wedding| iday. Marriage engagements, how- |ever, should be avoided on this date as judgment may not be reliable.

He turned to the man nearest him on the right and said, All right, what's yours?” The question proved to be rather elaborate. “I will answer that in a minute,” said Marshall. “But let's go ahead. What's yours And before answering any ques- tions, he went the rounds of 21 men and got their 21 questions. Then he proceeded to answer the ques- tions one by one. Not only did he remember the | questions which each of the twenty- one had asked, but he remembered who asked it. Pointing to each man, he said, “Now your question was And tien he named it and proceeded to answer it. This was more thin a feat of memory. It gave order and body to the answers, and eliminated the confusion of most press cofiferences. NOTE—Other competitors for the “Memory Club” are Nat Howard of the Cleveland News, formerly U. S press censor; and Erwin A. Holt of Burlington, N. C., who can tell you the day of the week you were born on-if you give him the date. MUST BLOCK WILLKIE Robert Lund, manufacturer of Listerine and the sugar daddy of St. Louis Republicans, had a con- fideptial and highly Hiuminating pow-wow with nigh-up Republicans the other day in Washington. Among those who attended the private dinner conference were Har- rison Spangler, chairman of the Republican National =~ Committee, biiter-end Congressman Harold Knutson of Minnesota., and old- timer Dan Reed, Republican Con- gressman from up-state New York. Chief. topic of conversation was how to block Willkie. Exactly how to block him was not decided. But at all costs it was felt he must be bloéked. The Republican chances now look brighter and brighter, so the last thing GOP conservatives want is anyone with a progressive Republi- can outlogk in the White House. “CHICKEN DNNER” MORRISON JBhe.
