It operates 80 per cent of the ” telephones in this coudtry and its the greatest public utility
enterprise in the world. Next largest is Metropolitan Life ~ Insurance Co. with assets of five billion, 600 million dollars. The - giant U. S. Steel is in 12th place and General Motors 15th. E. I. ‘du Pont de Nemours made the “billionaire” class for the first time this year. The 10 banks on the list had more than half of their assets ‘in government bonds while Roger Budrow ;,. eight insurance companies had put almost one-fourth of their assets in government bonds. i ” » ”
"| IT'S BEEN MONTHS, several Kw years in fact, since the cost-of-living in Indianapolis has done anything but go up. But during June, .according to the Conference Board, it went down. Not much—only 0.3 per cent—but down nevertheless. Anderson and Evansville cost-of-living didn’t change at all in June, the agency reports.

They rolled up their sleeves, and began to divide the one problem into its component little problems, and assign each one for study. The whole operation ‘more nearly resembled a newspaper city room going after a story than the traditional ‘gavernment commission. Data began to pile high in the hotel room, all to be analyzed and checked and rechecked for accuracy. They kept no office hours, and the lights burned very late as committee personnel toiled at top speed. Some members began to talk hopefuly of a report in another tw weeks, but more conservative opinion leaned toward a report in about four weeks.

obviously no rubber to, spare.

New Alloy Steels ‘Made From Scrap
NEW YORK, Aug. 17 (U, P).— Commercial production is about to start on a new series of alloy steels developed by .the steel industry to meet war production board ‘de-
mands for new specifications, the|
American Iron & Steel institute announced today. ' The alloying elements used in the ‘new “steels, which will -be designated as the N. E. 9400 series, are small amounts of silicon, chromium, nickel and molybdenum fortified by amounts of manganese somewhat greater than normal. In mid-July-a WPB executive in Washington telephoned the institue and said that the board was holding a meeting in 10 days to establish new steel specifications for certain war. products. He asked that the institute’s alloy steel committee present to that meeting a series of alloy steels which can be made entirely from steel scrap,
‘with almost no additions of virgin
alloying elements and which can be used in. place of the steel now doing jobs without any change in design of the parts. % The institute went to work immediately in organizing for the task and on the day named laid before the WPB officials in ' Washington full descriptions and characteristics of a brand new set of steels.
SHORTAGE OF MEAT IS SEEN
Armour President Clair Supply, Demand Law Hit by Ceilings. |
CHICAGO, Aug. 17 (U. P) ‘George A. Eastwood, president Armour & Co., said today that rising demand for, meat, stim lated by the combination of | ceilings and increased purch power, will aggravate the na 0!
: meat shortage.
Addressing the ‘National Assoclation of Independent Retail Mea! Dealers, Mr. Eastwood said the principal cause of the shortage the combination of price ceilings
a | on dressed ‘meat and an increase
in the average individual’s incom Because of the two factors, he said, the law of supply and de
“With nearly everybody working
| and with record high wages being
paid and with many items of nor=
‘| mal commerce off the market, peo=
‘ple are spending a larger than us
| portion of their increased ‘income
for meat,” he said. “The demand is steadily rising and the available supplies, even though they are large, will not per=
mit everyone to have all the meat
he wants. So we have the phenom= enom of what looks like a short age of meat when the volume. go~ ing through retail stores is close to a record.” Mr. Eastwood said that “before the days of price ceilings” the in~ creased demand would ‘have ‘re~ sulted. in higher prices, which in turn would have lessened the de~ i mand. “This price ceiling: thing is our biggest headache at the moment,” he said. “The regulations are the most complex and cumbersome that can be imagined. Retailers and packers alike are finding it in-’ creasingly difficult to operate successfully under the present regula tions of the . OPA.” He said he looked forward “hope fully” to changes that “will enable the industry to continue serving efficiently.” Despite ‘a bumper livestock crop this year, and prospects for even greater production in 1943, Mr. Eastwood said the packing industry 3 will be able to handle pet pro duction of meat.
