There were 10,813 claims for the j week ending Nov 19. as compan d with 7.998 for the week ending Nov. 12. However, director Everett L.

Good Tidings For Christmas Shoppers ; Lower Prices And Better Merchandise Washington. Nov 25 - (UP) — Government economists had some good new* for Christmas shoppers today. They said that lower prices, bet ter nterchandine and Incraaaed competition will make it easier to buy gift* this year than at any time. since prePearl Harlmr days In addition, they said, buyer* can be more particular alamt selecting their presents. The single sour note came from j the Federal Reserve Board In its November bulletin, it said that consumer Income this year is running about three percent below 194 k. But the optimistic economist* pointed out that this level I* still iftu per-1 cent higher than 1939. They said that although the out look Is bright for buyers, storekeeper* will have to use some highgrade salesmanship to get rid of | their stock. But even at that, they said, it appear* likely that store* will sell slightly more merchandise j this year than last, but at a lower profit. Several developments of the past 12 months led the economists to make these prediction*. They range all the way from devaluation of European current ie* to the coal and steel strike* in this country. Devaluation, they said, will result In comparatively large price redue-: tion* in imported luxury items. But I they said they lielleve devaluation's net effect on Christmas buying will not be large. Nor will the Impact of the strikes be very noticeable on a national scale. The experts believe, however i that many striker* will use their November and December earnings | to pay off debt* accumulated dur--1 ing the walkouts, rather than on 1 gifts. The toy industry which stakes it* , all on the Chrl*tmas season, ex , pects to sell as many toys this year . a* last. Christmas purchase* on credit ■ are expected to increase this year i l>ecau*e of 12.800.000,000 which will ’ Im» paid to veteran* next year □* dividends on their National Service , > Life Insurance policies. Commerce > i de|tartment spokesmen said this i - will influence many veterans to buy 'now and pay later > ' It also will boost sales of heavier • i durable good* Items, such as re- •. frigerators, television sets and ia- ! dlos.
