Decreased Income, Employment Seen Forecast Is Made By Ag Department Washington. Oct. 31 (VP) — The agricultural department today ventured these predictions of what farmers, workers and housewives can expect next year: 1. Slightly fewer Americans will he employed and they will earn slightly less money 2. Prices received by farmers for .their products will drop 10 percen’. 3. Ketal 1 pices will be a littlr lower, but will not drop as much as farm prices. 4. Most farmers are in a “strong finnnclal position" and will ride out the blow of next year's lower incomes. These forecasts were made as the department opened a five-day "farm outlook” conference. The prediction on the lower in come and lower employment was made by the department's bureau of agricultural economics. It based .is estimate on an anticipated “gradual decline” In the nation's economic activity. “Aside from the possibility of a substantial Increase in defense expenditures, the gradual downturn in activity that appears probable tor next year will be reflected in slightly lower levels of employment and incomes than in 1949,” the report said The report represented a crosssection on expert government opinion on 1950 prospects. It was prepared by the agricultural economists after consultation with President Truman’s economic adviser, .the federal reserve board and the labor and commerce departments. At for farmers’ Income, the d" partment said their net Income may drop 15 percent from 1948. Hero Is the agricultural department's view of the price outlook for major farm commodities In 1950: Livestock and meat moderate ly lower prices in prospect as a result of increased pork supplies. Price reductions greatest in hogs. Beef and c attle prices may not everage much lower .than this year. Dairy products - prices likely to average somewhat below this years Domestic demand may weaken and over-all exports probably be smaller. Poultry and eggs - lower average farm prices. Some eggs probably will be bought for price supporFats and oils — record high production for the marketing year ending next Oct. 1. Prices probably average lower than previous year. Lard prices will be under heavy pressure to go down. Corn and other feeds prices expected to average a little lower chiefly Icecause of record supplies and slightly lower price supports. Wheat — the 1950 crop probably will sell slightly ower than the 1949 i rop Fruit — grower prices may be a little higher, unless production h large. This year's record high output sen' prices low. Commercial truck crops grower prices for fresh cabbage, onion -t and carrots probably will be higher through the winter and spring

Auto Buyer Back In Driver's Seat Pre War Service To Automobile Buyers By t'nited Press The buyer is back in the driver x seat for new cars, with virtually any make or model ready for on-the-spot delivery, a United Press sur.ey of 23 cities across the nation revealed today. Dealers reported that .the prospective buyer is now getting virtually the same treatment and sen'll e as before the war. And with money gating scarcer, the customer Is likely to get even better service tn the future. The survey revealed that buyer< now can buy any make directly off the floor, get a demonstration if be wan.*n one, obtain a fair-or better trade-in value on his old jalopy, and even be choosy about whether or not he wants "extras" In the j. ay of ornaments and equipment on the new car. In some cases, however, he might have to wait a few days for certain color Jobs or for less-stand-ard models. But that was true even before the war since It’s virtually impossible for dealers to keep ono of every model and color on their floors at all times. Dealers were fearful of the national strike picture, however. They said that if auto manufacturers arc forced to shut down as threatened this month because of the steel strike, automobiles and tru'd;* might once more become difficult to obtain. Most sellers said they were getting ready for "real sharp” eompotition during the next year Many were hiring high-price sales exp *r*s io drum up business with promotion campaigns and advertising. “Were teaching our salesmen lliat they have to stait bowing and scraping to the customer from nowon,” one big dealer said. A Kansas City dealer was giving away a |2s(Ueievis on set with each car bought. Similar vive-awiyi were reported in Milwaukee. Cnttomers are beginning to swagger Into salesrooms once more Instead of sidling in to try to wheedle their way onto waiting lists "We are back .to a normal market,” said Hi nry Wetter of Memph «. "People are shopping around for the l>est trade-in and the beat buy. They don't come In and beg you >c sell them something, anything " Little direct price-slashinx was I reported, however. Most dealers said they were using increased trade-in allowances to entice sales even if It meant taking a lose mt the re-sale.

Urges Revival Os American Virtues Legion Commander Hits Socialism Indianapolis, Oct. SI—(UP) National commander George N Craig of the American Legion today urged a national revival of "the pioneer American virtues " Craig addressed a luncheon meet Ing of Legion and chamber of coin imerce officials which opened a week of meetings by Legion state commanders and national executive committee members. “Our need is urgent for a revival of the pioneer American virtues of hard work, thrift and determination,’’ he said. He said the Legion in 1950 would take the lead In community drives to promote such a spirit throughout the nation. Craig denounced what he termed the drift toward socialism in America. "We are living In a vital hour of America’s destiny." he said "The fight is for everything we hold dear ” He said America's ruthless enemies gloated over each freedom that we lose as Americans. “They know that once we have swapped our free economy for a planned economy, we will destroy the sinews of our economic strength which Is the one factor they fear,” Craig said "Let's not fool ourselves. We are at war with communism.” he added. Craig said it was not a shooting war yet, but ft was a ruthless war nevertheless. “Right now it is a struggle for possession of human minds.” he said. The Legion will parade a distinguished list of guest speakers to its session, headed by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and secretary of defense Louis Johnson. Elsenhower is scheduled to address a luncheon and Johnson was booked for the NEC's dinner Saturday night. The Legionnaires will go to Brazil Thursday for the "bomecolmng”
