BLOOMINGTON. June 24.— (INS) Business in Indiana is better than the national average as a whole. This was Indicated today in the monthly index prepared by the Indiana University Bureau of Business Research. The bureau reports that with the exception of a slight rise in April, the index for Indiana business has been practically stationary since February although most of the national indexes have slowly lost ground during the same period. The publication "Business Review" said: “It should be recognized that figures which are collected and compiled on a monthly basis reflect average conditions for the rnqnth ami do not indicate the trend of business within the month.” The report further pointed out that business in Indiana at the end of May was not so good us at the beginning of the month. According to the I. U. Business publication, newspaper advertising lineage was fractionally lower in May than In April, but dose to the March level. Bank debits were materially lower than in any month since May, 1948. New construction, as measured by contract awards, was considerably higher than in the preceding month. Coal production was lower because of a work stoppage in the industry. Department store sales appeared to have been practically as large as in April according to preliminary data. Electricity production was the lowest since July ok last year, “due no doubt to a decline in industrial power consumption." In tonnage produced steel production was the best for the year with the exception of March. Manufacturing employ ni e n t loll two per cent, a normal seasonal ehage for the month of
May.
Depression Hits Muskegon, Mich. MUSKEGON. Midi.. June 24. (UP) An almost-visible smog of worry hangs over this city of 100.000 residents with 13,000 out of work in a virtually full-blown postwar depression. A once-booming war industry town, Muskegon is suffering from a severe pin-point recession of a type that may hit soon in other United States cities. Worried leaders in the community Including labor unionists, city and county officials, the Chamber of Conunerce, the representatives of the Michigan Unemployment Compensation Commission are striving desperately for a solution to the sudden business slump that caused wholesale layoffs overnight. Eugene O’Neill, area director of the compensation commission, said flatly, Tf this isn’t a depression, I’ve never seen one.’’ About one out of four war jobs have vanished. Some civic leaders* point out that the city’s number of employed is about equal to that of 1940. But this does not take into account that 8,000 families moved here during the past nine
years.
Gov. G. Mennen Williams says the city Is the state’s most critical unemployment spot. NUTIIK OF AlnilMINTItUriON V’ l,y sdven tlmt the iiikIi'IxlKhi. ( | has Iiimmi iippolnii i] hV the .luilK..
