operations will come within 5 per cent of the all-time | high of $142,000,000,000 established in the second | quarter of 1945. Automobiies, pleasure cars and trucks, |are said to be flowing from assembly lines in fairly satisfactory volume. Steel operations in July were at 90 per cent of capacity; output of such things as sewing machines, electric ranges, vacuum cleaners and re- frigerators was well ahead of that for the preceding month. Production of ti dios and gas ranges well ahead of the pre-war totals. Shoes did not do s | well, nor did cotton goods, but the output of woolen cloth was an all-time high and there was a gratify- ing cutput of, suits, shirts and dresses. The report has |it that employment reached a new peak of 58,100,000 | jobs reducing the number of unemployed to 2,300.000. These all causes for satisfaction, but they should not invite complacency. The Administrator warns that the skies are not cloudless. The step-up rial activity has placed a tremendous strain railroads, already badly worn by their wartime overload. Gains in housing are growing smaller month by month; building is far from the desired level. But, 1 spite of this, Administrator Small feels justified in ying that “the stop-and-go output” of materials has been replaced by a steady flow which puts industry “within sight of full production of finished goods if peace continues.” That may “if” but, at the moment, things clearly are PAGE FOUR President DOROTHY T -President IAM R.

A speck of the substance, far tco small for the eye to see, is sufficient to take a iman’s life. The poison might be used at some future itime as an instrument of war, scientists believe.
