Three Indiana ‘Ghost Towns’ May Get

Defense Business Under New Program By ROGER UDROW

~ THE GOVERNMENT I

ATTEMPTING .TO® UTIL

IZ idle industrial equipment. of small concerns in an effort to speed the defense program. A few weeks ago a survey

was made of 11 “ghost ‘towns’

industrial communities that

. suffered heavily during the depression.

© Three of the “ghost towns” are in Tndisna—DBloomington, Bedford and Clinton. And, although they probably won’t like the term “ghost town” applied to them, they would be mighty grateful to the Government if some defense business: could be turned their way.

And there is ‘a strong likélihood that these towns will get some sokt of defense business, according to a plan bytlineq oy Morris L. Cooke, National Defense Commission consultant ‘on. labor problems. The program Mr. Cooke outlined provides for “farming out” defense contracts to these plants where machine] tools and labor are available. 0 . Coo Mr. Cooke exMorris 1. Cooke plained that the term “farming out” means that a|P firm, instead of doing all the work on an order, subiets part of the operations to one or more other concerns. In addifion to the three Indiana towns, he mentioned Paducah, Carbondale, Ill; Cambridge

“and Mansfield, O.; Franklin, Farre

- Steel Corp. yesterday.

, Newcastle and Chambersburg, Pa. : : The survey party, he explained, made up a list ef facilities available for defense work in these communities. This list is being sent out to Federal purchasing agencies as well

"as to contractors and sub-contrac-tors working on defense orders.

: 2 t 2 2 INDIANA'S RETAIL stores re-

ported their sdiés in October this|

year were 6 per cent above last October, 8 per cent above this Septemher and 7 per cent above last year by the end of October, the Com“merce Department said today. The 1199 firms reported their sales in October came to $8,640,644. . ”» ” #

ODDS AND ENDS: Governor Talmadge of Georgia bought a white} Polled Shorthorn bull yesterday for $200, owned by Charles J. Lynn's (Eli Lilly & Co. vice president) farm at Carmel and shown at the International ' Livestock Exposition at Chicago. . . . Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp., one of the largest independ-|C ent steel producers, nounced its prices will not be increased during January, February and March, duplicating the announcement of Carnegie-Illinois Cost of manufacturing steel is going up but the Administration doesn’t want the defense program unsettled by an increase in steel prices, a trade reports. . . . Hope Natural Gas Co. says it is sinking what is expected to be one of the deepest gas wells in the Appalachian field. The | well, near Clarksburg, W. Va., is already 8585 feet deep and may eventually go down to 11,000 feet, rivalling California wells. . . . A direction finder for yachtsmen lost in a fog has been developed by Ansley Radio Corp. said to be suitable for. even the smallest boats. Its loop antenna is said to pick up radio signals at distances up to 200 miles.

OING over Buick dealers’ reports on G our 1941 models, we find an unusual thing happening.

Time and again cars come in for the usual inspections ‘with an extra note of instruc- - tions—"Please check the gas gauge needle.”.

Even after hundreds of miles, people mistrust their eyes when they see its snail-like pace from the Full mark toward Empty —they don’t see how it’s possible for acar as big as Buick to go so far on so little.

Roebuck featured in these reports, showing a, gain of 21% per cent in

year ago. An unexpected decline in carload-

% ings unsettled the railroad group.

Union Pacific lost 1% points and A smaller declines were noted in a few sz |others. Pennsylvania Railroad remained firm. Motor shares and oils drifted low- |’ ler. Standard Oil (New Jersey) was off nearly a point. Aircrafts were mixed. Steels had small losses after

35 early firmness. Coppers dipped frac-

tionally.

MILLION TO BET

Conference Boards Says 29 Mark Will Be Exceeded Next Year.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5 (U. By] Nationa -detense contracts awarded

| before the start’ of’ November will

provide an additional 4,000,000 jobs

|in the United States by. po Jiuhe, swelling total employment a. secon

far above the 1929 peak, to the Conference Board. : Increasing by 103,000: ‘persons in . employment throughout the country stood at 48,638,000 persons; a: figure bettered only in a few months ‘of ‘1929, the Conference said... At the same time, unemployment dropped 45,000 to a total of 6,653,000 persons, contrasted with a reduction of about: 900,000 between August and September. The October employment fi compared with a tdtal of 46; 000 persons in- the corresponding 1939 month and with an average of 47,925,000 for all of 1929. Unemployment in October 1939 amounted to 7,969,000 - persons, while average

| unemployment for 1929 amounted | to. only 429,000.

-It 'was pointed out that the addi‘tion lof nearly 7,000,000 persons to the national labor force since 1929 closely ‘approximates the number yet to be absorbed into employmént channels.

Expect More Defense Spending

In its ‘forecast on new jobs to be created | by national defense work, the Conference Board estimated that unemployment should drop to about 4,404,000 next June, which

400,000 young men and women to the country’s working force. The Board estimated that the number of workers likely to be absorbed in defense production because of contracts allocated up to Nov, 1 will increase from 1 ,828,000 in November to a maximum of 3,976,000 in June, 1941. If no additional defense contracts should be awarded, the study added, employment would fall rapidly after next June, and about 2,450,000 men and women would be thrown out of work by December of 1941. However, it said, there are indications that forthcoming defense bills will call for appropriations for the fiscal year 1942 fully as large as those already passed by Congress. “Consequently no Tetdown in employment is expected to result from this cause for some time to.come.”

Shipbuilders Need Workers

The greatest number of new jobs is expected to materialize from ship-building contracts which will account, directly and indirectly, for a maximum absorption of 1,852,000 workers in August, 1941. Production of aircraft, tanks, and other ord-|%® nance and supplies is expected to require the services of almost half a million workers next summer and more than 400,000 new workers will be engaged in defense construction. The Conference Board emphasized that its estimates on defense emnot take into account any incre demand for eivil pro-|& duction which would naturally be caused by the employment of hundreds. of thousands of new workers,

which would result from anticipation of this heightened consumer demand.

in the Conference Board employ-|g; ment figures, amounted to 2,067,000 October, compared with 1,969,000 in September and 2,643,000

in February, the 1940 high point.
