THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR 35 FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 1948 Livestock LIVESTOCK RECEIPTS America a Key to World Recovery Trade Winds By LOU SCHNEIDER New York, March 18 Beware of pay-for or securities predictions that television set makers are in line for huge profits this year. Video receiving-set makers are operating at a rate equal to ordinary radio set performance back in prewar 1939, but sales competition is worse. Mark off with thick chalk all predictions that the industry will hang up $600,000,000 in sales this year. January output totaled 30,001 units; February, 35,889. February's output was at a 430,000 annual pace.

That's a far cry jjjfjjr! bbor and maefiQls'hort. Puation grWS" jjj Lack of food, surveys show, is still the world's over-riding problem. RECENTLY SEVEN economists, each from a different country, reported to the United Nations that under developed economies, where the population "subsists rather than lives," account for about 50 per cent of mankind. This Sub-Commission on Eco the revival of prosperity. It seems least applicable to the Soviet Union and its closer satellites because they have chosen to remain outside of the United States' 16-nation aid program.

They must largely stand or fall with Soviet economic fluctuations, in the present period anyway. INDICATING THE dependence of the world on United States sources, the International Bank has reported that all loans so far granted to help nations get on their feet have been in dollars. Only one borrower took part of this loan in other currency. Without accurate information on Russia's current economic situation, the UN experts could report only that the Soviet Union to have reached the level of prewar production. The United Nations economists, in a voluminous report, say that right now Europe's import requirements can be met only by United States goods; most European countries have run out of dollars, and they are unable to get more by selling goods to the United States.

THE ACCOMPANYING map shows the surplus of American exports over imports to key areas of the world. It also highlights current economic trends in those areas, as reported by United Nations authorities. They have warned lately that a possible depression in the United States would have a devastating effect on the economies of other parts of the world. That seems particularly applicable to western Europe, heavily dependent on American aid for By ROBERT N. COOL What happens on United States commodity markets is of great importance to the world, because money advanced to foreign countries under the Marshall Plan generally will be spent for American goods.

When prices are sky-high in New York or Chicago less food, machinery and fertilizer can be exported to the nations which the United States government is trying to supply with such goods. That is because most needy countries are almost completely lacking in dollars of their own. What they buy here they must pay for with American funds, and if United States prices are'too high they can't get very much. The recent" inflationary price spiral, economists say, nipped about one-third of the value from the $3,600,000,000 American loan 5fc OTjWMIWI.I'WW'.'IIM.U.JI.lltllll I Mill IM 1111 1 111 Qk gSO 3 1 Death Notices Indianapolis Star, Frl.t Mar. 18.

Good brand-name makes are being sold at price cuts by overstocked retailers. Moreover, don't overlook that consumers are sharply reducing luxury-item spending.

And tele vision sets are a high-priced lux- i ury. As for ordinary radios, the prospects are bad. A 50 per cent decline in exports is expected this year. That'll back up in domes tic outlets. But all this is on manufacturing; nothing to do with adver tising.

Video shows will improve. Better entertainment will hit the cathode cameras as broadcasting competition grows keen, WALL STREETERS wonder whether the meat packer and coal labor difficulties have anything to do with the retail price prospect. It's no secret that prices on meat and coal did point downward. Consumer meat price resistance is severe, and much less coal will be exported this year. THE COMMODITY exchange authority is making a new study of the grain price slide.

Like the October. 1946. cotton sellinc de bacle, it'll find that small inves tors were wiped out while news-informed professionals profited handsomely. The "study" will require months to complete.

Gwinn Percheron Sale Attracts Buyers From 7 States And Canada Noblesville Thirty head of registered Percheron horses were sold at auction on the John and Fred Gwinn farm near 'Noblesville last week.

It was one of the largest sales of this breed of animals ever held in central Indiana. Buyers were there from seven states and Canada. The top price mare was purchased by H. G. Gevere of Colorado while the top price stallion went to a breeder in Canada.

The sale did not entirely eliminate Fred Gwinn from the horse business. A few animals were retained and they will be used largely for work on the farm. Gwinn has found it necessary to reduce his farm work in this line on account of the condition of his health. and his father, John Gwinn, have spent 30 years raising this breed of animals and have sent them to nearly every state in the Union. Charles J.

Lynn, Indianapolis businessman and former owner of Lynnwood Farms near Carmel, which he gave to Purdue University, addressed the buyers, reminding them that animal power always would be a necessity on the farms. J. C. Penney, head of the department store chain which bears his name, was at one time associated with the Gwinns in the horse Buyers were present at the sale from Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Missouri and Canada. AUTHORED OLD-TIME SONG HITS Who hasn't heard of that old popular tune, "In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree" 7 It came from the pen of Egbert Anson Van Alstyne, who was born in Chicago in 1882 and still lives there.

Some of the other well-knowns authored by Van Alstyne are "Your fcyes Have Told Me So," "Won't You Come Over to My House?" "I'm Afraid to Go Home In the Dark," "Cheyenne," "Pony Boy" and "That Old Girl of Mine." (Wide World Photo.) to Britain. Congress voted the money early in 1946. Soon afterward prices commenced their dizzy spurt upward. The real value of the loan shrank, and it ran out before its time. NOW, WITH commodity prices seeking lower levels, the Marshall Plan dollar may enjoy a vitality denied some of its wilted predecessors, Washington experts are pointing out.

As Congress handles the question of large-scale American aid to 16 western European countries, a United Nations economic survey shows that the United States is the only big power exporting more goods than it is importing. It shows that the world dollar shortage is still acute, and that inflation threatens to "destroy the progress already achieved" in European recovery. InconU HnwArrl whn r.nm- effective March 12.

This compares with 108,895 units produced last week. The trade paper breaks down this week's output to cars and 29,862 trucks; against last week's 78,999 cars and 29,896 trucks.
