'\u industry, banking, fanning,
labor and government said here
there is no •depression just
around the earner.
The outlook illicit not be as
rosy as it was early in the post-
war period, they said, but with
some exceptions prospects still
are good for a high volume ol
business in 1 !*4«
Leaders in the various branch-
jas of the nation's economy were
iWked their opinions on condi-
tions in their own fields and on
the country's economic health
generally.
Most of them agreed with thr
Commerce Department, which
reports that the postwar sellers'
market lias just about disappear-
ed in every line except automo-
biles and metals. A lumber in-
dustry leader said business in
his line was bad.
, Here are the opinions, indus-
try by industry:
<111,: — I.,. F. McCollum, presi-
dent of the Continental Oil Co..
I'onca City, Okla. "The oil in-
dustry finds itself in a position
marked by adequate production
to meet current consumer de-
mands and with ample inventor-
ies to meet contingencies in all
areas, as contracted with a year
ago when there were spot short-
ages of petroleum products due

I hough at a slower rate than
luring the past two years. A
sound economic position for the
>il industry during the coming
ear is indicated.''
STKKIi:— Adm. iien Moreel,
>residen't of Jones & Laughlin
iteel Corp.: "Present prospects
or the steel Industry in the
'Ittsburgh area during 194!) are
or continuation of capacity or
tear capacity volume for the
;teel mills with perhaps some
drift in emphasis as among dif-
ferent product lines."
fOAIj:— George H. I.amb,
ronomics director of the Pitts-
jurgh Consolidated Coal Co.:
Bituminous coal looks to a good
narket in 10 It* . . . Several fac-
ors have acted adversely to coal
•eeently, and they may continue
0 be disturbing during the re-
mainder of 101!). Comparatively
warm weather during the winter
tas lowered coal needs in the
nain areas of consumption. Res-
idual fuel oil, because of season-
d>le excesses, has been sold at
.harply-reducod prices. The wea-
ther and fuel oil makes coal's
peacetime adjustment extra dif-
ficult."
FARMING:— Allan B. Kline,
Chicago, president of the Amer-
ican Farm Bureau Federation:
"Prospects for overseas ship-
ment are still good for 1010. The
unknown quanity is consumer
buying. But given a real continu-
ation of high consumer demand
for good quality foods and other
products, agriculture just doesn't
lace a real depression l ight now.
1 he real question is whether this
high purchasing power is going
to stay with us. And I feel fair-
ly optimistic."
FOODS:— Philip W. Pillsbury,
president of Pillsbury Mills Inc.,
Minneapolis: i agree with other
observers that there has been a
general leveling off of prices in
this country. Fortunately, in the
food industry recessions don't
have much effect on the volume
of production. Buyers simply
have become more critical of
price in their day-to-day buy-
ing."
CtOTHINti:— Jerome Udell,
president of Max L dell Sons &
Co., N< \v York, manufacturers
of men's clothing: I look for a
fairly sustained demand this
year, lower than the inflated
level, but with our present la-
bor and material costs, it is im-
possible to make any appreci-
able reduction in prices."
BAN KINO:— Kvans Woolen,
Jr., Indianapolis, president of the
American Farmers' Association:
"The Banks of the United States
today are maintaining a sound
position unexcelled in our his-
tory and have ample capacity
to meet any foreseeable credit
needs of the economy."
COVKKVMKXT: — Secretary
of Commerce Charles Sawyer and
Or. Edwin G. Xour.se, chairman
of the president's council of eco-
nomic advisors, were asked if
another depression is inevitable.
Sawyer: "The answer is defini-
tely 'So.'" Nourse: "No. I defi-
nitely do not believe that it is
inevitable that a nation whose
people are intelligent, enter-
prising and ingenious as ours
should again allow our produc-
tive resources to run to waste
in large quanities or over an ex-
tended period of time."
LABOK:— Philip Murray,
president of the Congress of In-
dustrial Organizations: "Depres-
sions are not inevitable if pro-
per and adequate economic pol-
icies are adopter) for the coun-
try as a whole."
William Green, president of
the American Federation of La-
bor: "I do not think another eco-
nomic depression is likely in
the near future."

BAD TEACHING
EL PASO (UP) "Old-fash-
ioned" teachers are a handicap
to student participation in
school government and citizen-
ship building activities, C. R.
! Vannice of Topeka, Kan., told
Texas high school student lead-
ers here. He described the old-
fashioned teacher as one who
"insists on teaching subjects
rather than teaching boys and
girls."
This type of teacher, he add-
ed, handicaps the student who
seeks to participate in so-called
extracurricular activities.

Tax Proposal Said
To Be Ruinous For
Refining Industry
I WICHt'I/. r ALLS, (UPi —
| Proposals to tax the processing
of oil and gas products would
mean the ruination of the re-
fining industry in Texas, an in-
j dustry spokesman said here.
Charles E. Simons, general
| manager of the Texas Mid-Con-
tinent Oil & Gas Association's
I spoke before a tax panel of the
North Texas Oil & Gas Associa-
: lion's annual spring meeting.
Simons told his audience that,
in view of a declining economy
gripping the petroleum industry,
j Texas lawmakers should not in-
crea.se the oil and gas operators'
j tax burden.
"The Texas Petroleum indus-
try, under current tax schedul-
j es, will pay nearly one out of
every two dollars of that $290,-
000,000 the State Comptroller ex-
pects for the general revenue
fund." he said.
