It is, therefore, good news that the armed services are shortly going to release a large number of C-54s to the commercial airlines of the United States, to help take care of the log jam in air travel. It has been planned to transfer enought of them to replace temporarily the Lockheed Constellations, 45 of which were grounded. But these are likely to be flying again very soon.

Storm Signals in the Sun (St. Louis Star-Times) One year after the end of the military phase of World War II, Treasury Secretary Snyder and the other economic pessimists certainly have lost their reputation as prophets. Instead of having to provide for almost 10,000,000 unemployed, the American eco- nomy is closer to Commerce Secretary Wallace's goal of 60,000,000 jobs: and it is about $50,000,000,000 ahead ~of Mr. Fred Vinson's hope for a permanent prosperfty income of $150,000,000,000 a year. But the optimists had better keep their fingers crossed. Business may has completed be booming, but it is running ahead of the hurricane the gale which may yet overtake it and wreck it ter is not inevitable, but the red and black storm signals are snapping and straining in the wind The wo:st worry-center is the impermanence of the demand which now has factory wheels running the withholding of taxpayers' wages in excess of their' | hot.
