SEPTEMBER 1953 By the Office of Business Economics BUSINESS activity continued in high gear through August as employment, income, and sales matched or exceeded the Plant and Equipment rates of the earlier months. The basic sources of demand were undiminished, with the major changes associated with seasonal influences. Consumer purchases, backed up by Investment estimated at $28 billion higher incomes, have advanced moderately. Business out- lays for plant and equipment in the current quarter exceed in 1953 vs. $26 V2 billion in 1952 the high first-half rate. However, management anticipates BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS some easing from this record rate in the fourth quarter. 30 While total output has been steady since midyear, here 30 and there in scattered industries—chiefly durables—output was trimmed to avoid further inventory accumulation. Total business inventories were unchanged in July as the 20 usual seasonal decline did not occur. On a seasonally ad- 20 justed basis, the $0.6 billion book-value increase was below y ANTICI- the average second quarter experience, and of this advance lRATED about half was due to higher replacement costs. Thus the physical increment was well below the high second-quarter 10 10 rate. Automotive retailers accounted for half of the total book-value inventory change in July. Price firmness characterized wholesale commodity markets. A major exception was the renewed weakness in the farm group where a decline occurred in livestock prices in late I960 1951 1952 1953 1953 August and early September. Consumer prices moved up ANNUAL TOTALS QUARTERLY TOTALS,SEASONALLY ADJUSTED, AT ANNUAL RATES fractionally in July, primarily due to small increases in food prices and a continued advance in rents.

Though all major groups but contract construction contributed to this rise, two-thirds of it is attributable to durable goods manu- facturers. Manufacturing workweek longer than in 1952 Average weekly hours, over the past 12 months, have :>'';-/ > / -X ^""V^A? >/.*. ..*; <^-<"/ sy ^^J^&'fr'firtR declined or remained stationary in many industries. In ^'\Yf''-vM^v manufacturing, however, weekly time rose one-half hour or 1.3 percent from July 1952 to July 1953. This increase was in part fortuitous, reflecting a low level of hours last year in industries affected by the protracted steel stoppage; it was, however, in line with an upward trend. Weekly hours in each of the first 7 months of this year have been higher than AVERAGE HOURLY in the comparable months of last year, and over the period EARNINGS this month-to-month gain has averaged 1.0 percent. The advance was shared by both the durable and nondurable goods groups. As can be seen in the chart the movement of hours, aside from seasonal variation, has shown much less change than the movement in employment. Manufacturing production workers averaged $1.77 an AVERAGE WEEKLY HOURS hour in July, an increase of more than 7 percent over a 12-month period. This rise, which was slightly above the \ \ 7-year average beginning with July 1946, represented a continuation of a long-term increase in earnings, which since PRODUCTION WORKERS 1933 had been halted under adverse economic conditions but \N at no time reversed. Hourly earnings reflect not only changes in basic hourly and incentive wage rates but also such factors as premium pay for overtime and late-shift work, and changes in the output of workers paid on an incentive basis. The increase in gross earnings over the past year reflects increases in y y> i'^:/*',?J-i'; ' overtime payments as well as in wage rates and other factors. The average spread between gross hourly earnings and hourly earnings excluding overtime, for the first half of this year as compared with the first half of last year, increased from 5.5 to 6.5 cents, a gain shared by both the durable and non- durable groups. Real average hourly earnings, that is earnings adjusted for the cost of living, continued their long-term increase. Over the period of the last 12 months the movement was essen- tially parallel to that of money earnings, because of the negligible rise in the cost of living. Consumer prices rose less than 1 percent so that all industry groups gained in real earnings. Industrial production stable Industrial production in July and August has been main- tained on a high plateau after full allowance for the usual summer seasonal influences. The rate of output in August was little different from the record pace of the first half of the year. Output of durable manufactures in August was moderately below the monthly average of the January-June 9.4 million ingot tons. While this rate was higher than in period while production of nondurable manufactures was July, it was slightly lower than in June and about 5 percent about the same.

The list, it must be emphasized, is limited to the formation and operation of the GATT; for œasons •»f length, the history of the Havana Charter and its preparation and references to the proposed International Trade Organization, which has not been brought into being, have been somewhat rigidly excluded, while emphasis has been put en references that show the operational aspects of the GATT. The bibliography is divided into the following sections: 1. the text of the GATT and governmental publications; 2. selected GATT publications; (the full list of GATT publications is .obtainable from the secretariat on request) 3. a chronological listing of references to the GATT.

BOX 764 CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS Jan 7, 1955 u.. REYNA. ADOLFO de Jesus, Jr. 10 C S Dr. Hector P. Garcia, M. D. 3024 Morgan St. Corpus Christi,Tex. Dear Br. Garcia: Attached is a 3-page letter from the Army addressed to Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson in connection with the above-captioned veteran's case. You contacted the Senator direct and we feel that you would be die to better explain the case to the mother from a medical standpoint being a doctor, than we could. On the basis of the letter and the fact that he is in receipt of 100% disability compensation from the V.A., I frankly do not believe that any further action should be instituted at this time. Under the circumstances, we believe that the veteran should return the Gepeval_pischarge which he has in his-2-0ssession so that t~ie authorities can replace same with an Honorable discharze under the regulations as set forth in the marked paragraph of the letter, which is considerably better than the General Discharge. Please return the enclosure for our files after it has served~its purpose, and thank you. \ Sincerely, R'ildhn04 E.' Huey 5-9 b/Veterans Service Officer JEH:dbb CC-mother .. DEPARTMENT OF THE ARM OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF LEGISLATIVE LIAISON WASHINGTON 25, D. C. In reply refer to: 28 December 1954 201 Reyna, Jr., Adolfo de Jesus uS 54 116 379 (29 Oct 54) Honorable Lyndon B.
