Key industries, like steel, automobiles, television and building, are humming. In fact, with the exception of some .-retailers and the entertainment field, business is beginning to hum. There is a weak spot in the econom ic chain, however. Farm income, which was about $18,000,000,000 in 1948, dropped $4,000,000,000 in 1949, and, from present indications, will droipanother $2,000,000,000 in 1950. This means that the income for agri culture will be reduced about two thirds from the 1948 figure. By contrast, wages and salaries, aggregating $13,000,000,000 in 1949, will move up a few billion dollars in the present year unless current indices are erroneous. 'We should not lose sight of the fact that dividends paid out by cor porations in the first quarter of this DEPENDABILITY THE cyclone cellar it a fami liar sight in certain parts of our country.

Railroad earloadings are encouraging an dthere are signs that wholesalers and retailers are beginning to increase their inventories. Moreover,' the stock market is moving, upward gradually and there are some slight indications that mi people generally are begin ning to take more interest in the buy ing of stocks. ' , Despite the decline in farm income and the sluggishness of retail trading in. some areas, there is some concern over the probability that inflation looms as'a peril to, be avoided. -The Government is spending more money than it is collecting. The policy of easy credit is being sustained by abundant sources of money. Particu larly in the field of housing is be ing sustained by abundant sources of money.

In the face of these optimistic in dices, one recalls the recent' message of President Truman, urging prompt steps to provide ample credit facilities for small business. ' The' President estimated that, ninety per cent -of the nation's four million business concerns are classified as small but they pro vide jobs f or . more than twenty mil lion persons, or about half 'of non far memployment Regardless of what wie may think of the President's pro posal, it was. lecently revealed that in three years there were'166,000 new firms but .that bank loans, represent ed in .the financing, amounted to about one-eighth of the capital invest ed. .

FOR SALE 1 Kf R "THE KING OF SWINE" Original Strain Breeder 35 Years Selby R. Minton - MERRY HILL, N. C Dr. Po teat, Great EraCiot -. Pastor, Spsalcs For Graham ' Dr. E. McNeill Potest, pastor .of Pullen'Mem ' onal Baptist CMiroh, declared Sunday night, May; 14, in a radio broadcast that "the presence of Frank Graham in the Senate of the United States may be the major contribution North Carolina can make to the security of the world." . The Raleigh minister, who is prominently known in church circles throughout "the State, said Graham already had been recognized in the Senate as "one of that body's ablest and -most trustworthy men," - - . '.These are days of great moment," Dr. Poteat said. "To live up to them, will be our glory; to skimp or neglect our duty will be our shame. The vote 1 shall cast for Frank 'Graham will repre sent my confidence in the superior values of in tegrity over compromise, of humility over, self exaltation and of simple humanitarianasm over the claims of narrow and partisan interests;,' and it will reaffirm my belief that only as we are spiritually strong and morally confident shall we find security and peace in our time. "Much is being said about the relation of this amazing man to the people of the 'State that is proud to honor him as its native eon and its dis tinguished public servant," said Dr. Poteat. "This is altogether proper, for Frank. Graham is with out rival as a friend to the people all the people and particularly the common people of the State. He even exhibits the quality of 'friendliness to ' those within the State who have spoken unkindly about Um. J His love, for those. who know Mm, is as guileless as his' freedom from bitterness to ward those who misuse him."1 ' - , Senator Graham's, service, Dr.": Poteat After paying r tribute to moral character and publie continued: o I'They have said he is too good to be in politics. This is a new and-"desperate effort to win votes" away from him, and it reaches a new low in po Iitic?il scheming. It says, in effect: The work is in bad shape; it must be saved by morally good men, but not by men like Frank P. Gra ham. He's too good. Give us leaders, we are urged, who are good men- but not 39 good that they aredumb.' In other words if you are really, honest, you're a sucker for liars; if you are really t decent, you're a sucker for' crooked deals; if you are really kind, you are a sucker for every phony hard-luck story on the street. "For a moment, think what that makes us, the voters, out to be. It makes all of us who believe that 'righteousness exalteth a nation' the worst suckers of all, for it proposes that we try to get a decent world by electing national leaders who 'are afraid of absolute moral integrity.- "K this is the road of the people of North Carolina and the world, of what use is any pre tense at righteousness, decenoy and honor?" Graham Opposed FEPC Plan, Sjiys Top Episcopal Bishop Durham, May "lSiMAP) .The Right Rev. , Henry 'SherriiL presiding Bishop of the' Protest-" ant Episcopal Church in America, declared tonight that Senator Frank'P,, Grahanvfctrongly' opposed FEPC legislation as a member of President Tru man's Commission on Civil Rights. . 'The Bishopr in a telephone conversation from New York tonight with The Durham Morning Herald, confirmed the statement' made recently by Representative Franklin D. (Roosevelt, Jr., who said Senator Graham "stubbornly" fought a compulsory fair employment practices ' commis-l-; ion as recommended by the Civil Rights Com- mittee.' Graham, Roosevelt and Bishop Sherrdll ' were among members of the President's com mitteewhich made , a. nationwide study of the civil rights issue and made recommendations con-' Terning the matter. " "In no may do I want to involve myself or the Episcopal Church in any political (campaign or party primary, but as a matter of revealing the real truth, I must say that Dr. Graham can in no way be held responsible for the recommendations 'made by the majority of ' the committee' the .
