DKOP IN FOOD PRICES WASHINGTON i AP The Agriculture Department said to night that trends indicate that food prices now at record levels will drop within three to six months as they did alter World War I, al though probably not as much. It reported prices have risen more in the past four months than in any comparable period during the 33 years in which records have been kept. By NEWS SPECIALISTS OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The new vear opens with con troversy over the possibility of a depression. Much will depend on whether economists predicting a recession prove right or wrong. The outlook in fields other than business is hazy, because it de pends on the economic future. Here is the likely general shape of the year to come: BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY A depression in 1947 is a possibil ity, but neither a certainty nor a necessity. The year can be a boom year of unprecedented proportions if labor strife can be averted so as to keep industry in full produc tion, and if prices can be kept in a range where people can buy. There are two other worry spots, however. Manufacturers' inven tories arc now the highest in his tory, and although consumer credit is still plentiful, consumer borrowing has already passed all previous records. Two key industries are held in the balance of labor-management relations. Experts say steel, king pin of industry, given industrial peace could produce well above 80.000.000 tons in 1947. This would run something like 13.000,000 tons above 1946. The automobile industry, with a demand for 10.000.000 cars against a 1946 production of 2,000.000 de pends on the same "if" plus "if" I it can get steel. LABOR Another wave of , strikes is feared. With labor and '. management squaring off after , their stormiest year in history, the outlook is discouragingly parallel to what it was a year ago: uncer ! tain, emotional and explosive. , There are three new develop ments: 1 1. The public. White House and j Congress are fed up with labor i management deadlocks. President Truman is almost certain to rec ommend new labor legislation. The Republican Congress may go fur 1 ther. Whether changes in the laws ! will prevent strikes is another mat . ter. I 2. A business slump may come. Depressions usually mean unfav ! orable atmosphere for labor's de : mands. 3. The government has less op portunity to intervene when col : lective bargaining breaks down, , since price and wage controls are off. This means wage increases can SCIENCES- MOVES UPSTAIRS 4ft - y r J'SfTK. I I ' .SIS &wrtvi ai cvr-i set & v. m -Vfjl WiM T gSgi, TENFOLD focED OF US. FARMERS JWJGH ygj PILIN6 IT ON THE PRESIDENT JoS..OOV . I IWFIMICHFn RUSINESS- be passed on to the public in high er prices. : AGRICULTURE A seventh consecutive year of bumper pro-1 duction (weather permitting) is being encouraged by the govern-1 ment. Farmers again are being j asked to produce abundantly to ; meet contiued world shortages of , food. But 1947 may be the last year for some time that such planting will be favored. There are signs that by the new year's end foreign demand for American food may drop sharply. Farm income and prices, which reached new peaks in 1946, are expected to ease off in 1947 pro viding production turns out favor ably. On the other hand, an industrial recession might bring about a farm price slump requiring govern mental emergency action to check it. FOREIGN AFFAIRS A "peace conference" over Germany, simi lar to the 1946 Paris conference, may be seen in 1947 with similar results, with Russia continning de laying tactics against removal of Soviet troops from central Eur ope. Regarding disarmament, atomic control and the U.N. military se curity force, something less than "satisfactory" agreements are like ly. These compromises will leave the situation little changed. The race for development of new weapons will be on in earnest. Russia and the U. S. may attain greater civility on the surface with fundamental cleavages continuing. "Submerged" peoples will make gains in their fight for a place in the sun. POLITICS The Republicans will face difficulties in bringing about the economy, tax reductions and continued abolition of wartime controls on which they hope to build a 1947 congressoinal record to bolster the following year's pres idential campaign. More or less open warfare be tween Congress and the White House can be expected in a few months, despite President Tru man's hope to go along as the new Congress opens. The President may find it difficult to swallow some Republican proposals. .Bipartisan handling of foreign af fairs is likely to continue, but some Congressional overseas in vestigations may rock the boat. SCIENCE Atomic heat from uranium to run electric generators For The 63rd Consecutive Year, This Firm Extends 11 it 7 j h SINCERE WISHES for a jjotflid, JVew- yean, England Walton A. C. Lawrence Leather Company Junaluska Tannery Hazelwood, N. C. 'Hay wood's Oldest Industry"., is a scientific prospect. Hi 1946 atomic energy piles were able to boil water. The step-up to makim: steam is expected for the new year. Exploration of space around Un earth is another prospect. This de pends on rockets and on military radar. Temperatures, electrical conditions, cosmic rays and radio ceilings beyond a few miles are mostly unknown. Learning about them will be the first goal. AVIATION Private flying, with planes available at a rate ten times greater than before the war. awaits the start of small airport construction under a billion-dollar federal program. Aircraft manufacturing enters the new year leveled oil' at three times its pre-war size. It should hold this line. Airlines with four times as many planes as during the war now face the problem of keeping them busy. The military aviation outlook is for further transition from propel lers to jet-propulsion. The new XS-1 is expected to fly at the speed of sound in 1947. WOMEN Less feminism and more femininity are the prospects for 1947. Serious career women are hold ing gains the war years gave them, but the rank and file of house wives freed from uniforms, war jobs and austerity, are rushing back to homes with cries of joy. The nation's housewives, having taken inflation control in . their own hands, have convinced busi ness and industry that they can re fuse to pay exorbitant prices. The result: business is trimming its sails and the prospect for 1947 is back to normal on all fronts. Having cluhg patriotically to the slim silhouette, the tailored line and the simple basic dress for five years, women now yearn for glamor. The new year will sec longer, fuller skirts, more femi nine lines, greater elegance and a softer silhouette. EDUCATION The teacher shortage will continue although some stales and cities have moved to increase salaries in 1947. Strikes of hundreds of rural and city teachers have called attention to a "low pay" .situation described by educators as "a grave threat to our democracy." The National Ed ucation Association estimates the average salary of teachers in grade and high schools at $2,000 a year, with many thousands getting less than $90 a month. Housing shortage for college students will continue. Keliable estimates are that college enroll ment applications next fall will exceed last September's record of 2,080.000 by 200,000. SPOUTS Another banner year is in prospect. Ted Williams is likely to supplant Hank Green berg as home-run king. The St Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox figure to meet in another World Series alter pennant fights with the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees, respectively. MOTION PICTURES Movies cost 82 percent more to make to day than they did five years ago.

P A T. O r F. THE MOST POPULAR BEER IN HISTOR Inquiries about why enough Budweiser is not yet available have become so numerous that we ask our good friends everywhere in America to remember these facts: Your demand has made Budweiser the most popular beer the world has ever known-year cfter year after year. Official government figures prove it Our production today is the greatest in th history of brewing. Yet, Budweisers high standard of aualitv i mnitaincl at all times. The constantly expanded Home of Budweiser covering 70 city blocks in St. Louis is the world's largest brewery-as it was when beer returned in 1933. Each year, beginning in 1933, facilities to increase the production of Budweiser were added... until the war put an md t0 expan sion in the brewing industry. But, each succeeding year found your in creased demand running far ahead of our expanded facilities. Thus. Budweiser had' to be rationed to dealers each year for several years before wartime shortages introduced ANHEUSER-BUSCH rationing of many products to the country at large. In spite of the fact that grain quotas have been largely restored, Budweiser still is being rationed, because your demand still exceeds the production of our present vast facilities So that you will find Budweiser again wherever you ask for it, our post-war expan sion program will get under way just as soon as building skills and materials are available- Meanwhile, each day sees Budweiser arriv ing in communities everywhere to supply dealers equitably if not abundantly. When you ask for Budweiser and get it. yu are enjoying the quality and the distinctive taste that have made it-sip by sip. drink by drink, bottle by bottle and barrel by barrel, year in and Year out. the most popular beer in history.
