People Spend $19 8 Billion During Year WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 (Pi Consumer spending shot up by an unprecedented $13,200,000,000-a-year rate during the July-September period to reach a record annual volume of $198,400,000,000, the Commerce Department report ed today. This mass assault on retail counters netted a $14,000,000,000 spurt in the gross national pro duction total output of goods and services to an historic high of $284,300,000,000. ' It came close to the $300,000, 000,000 a year total output goal President Truman spoke last Jan uary of attaining "within five years," but there was a hitch in it. The President said he meant $300,000,000,000 worth of goods and services valued at the prices prevailing at the start of 1950. Much of the $30,500,000,000 a year rise since then has been due to increased prices. - The Commerce Department said, in fact, that one-third of the $13,200,000,000 jump in consumer spending in the third quarter of this year, compared with the pre vious quarter, "stemmed from higher prices." Purchases of greater quantities following the" outbreak of the Ko rean War on June 25 accounted for the other two-thirds of the increase, but the Department saw a price angle in that, too.

Stuart Symington today issued a mild go-slow warning to the National Production Authority, which is considering the possibili ty of imposing an all-industry materials control system next July 1. The Defense Coordinator told a news conference that if the government uses "too heavy a hand" on controls before military production hits full stride it "might hurt the economy." Symington suggested that it is too early to talk in terms of spe cific control plans for many months ahead. Rather than to say that a "control material plan" may go into effect, he said it would be better to state that the government will take whatever measures are necessary at that time. Discussion of the control ma terial plan known as "CMP" during World War II was prompted by last week's remarks of Manley Fleishcmann, NPA's general counsel. If the military budget for the year ' starting next July 1 is $50,000,000,000 or $60, 000,000,000 as nowseems likely, Flelschmann, the overall control system seems inevitable. "CMP" involves the allocation to all industries of three metals aluminum, steel and copper in terms of the 'supply of each and the essential nature of the indus tries concerned. General Paul Green looks Home' With Wolfe ASHEVILLE (P) Paul Green, Chapel Hill Playwright, took members of the Thomas Wolfe Memorial Association by the hand here this weekend and led them to the shrine erected by the nov elist in his books.

He was always trying to discover himself and to discover others," Green said. "I have just completed a 4,200 mile trip and I am getting ready to start on a 24,000-mile trip. I am going to all the countries of the world to learn, if I can, what people are thinking. (See GREEN, page 4) U.S. Tanks To Korean SEOUL,. Nov. 21 (AP) A tank-paced column of the U. S.

The ticket office in Woollen Gym will be open from 9 o' clock in the morning until 5 o'clock in the afternoon today and tomorrow for students to pick up their coupons. Mobilization May Change Way Of Life ! CHICAGO, Nov. 20) Army Secretary Frank Pace, Jr., said tonight that America's partial mobilization program may call for sacrifices that "affect our entire way of life." It may require a lowering of the American standard of living, he added. In a talk prepared for mem bers of the Economic Club of Chicago he said: 'This period we are entering of indefinite semi -mobilization is tragic, difficult, confusing anri costly but it is infinitely better than a total war and total mobil ization which it may prevent. "We las a nation may have to curtail, for the time being, many fine programs we have long planned and hoped for. We may have to give up for the time being certain consumer, goods which nearly every citizen wants and which have, in fact, in most j American families been accepted ! as practical necessities. j "The higher taxes that we have j to pay means, in effect, lower incomes for all of us. We may have to endure controls of vari ous types on prices, wages and allocations of materials. "Our'nation which prides itself on constantly raising and improv ing its standards of living may have to hold its present standard more or less static for an indefi nite period, and may even have to lower that standard somewhat."
