Rackets Probe Lists Three As Graft Suspects WASHINGTON UP A long "blacklist" of taxpayers prepared by the treasury department has turned up only three public officials suspected of graft or other federal law violations. The list was prepared by the treasury department's rackets squad and turned over to the justice department help in running down underworld or public figures involved in law violations. The rackets squad investigated 13,000 cases in which taxpayers were suspected of concealing income obtained from'il- legal sources.

After a study of the list, the justice department cases under investigation include a discharged federal employe, a state legislator and a state meat inspector. Other cases involved four persons suspected of violating the white slave law, one individual and four firms suspected of Violating gambling Jaws and two individuals suspected of violating the Smith Act. The justice department did not identify any persons on the list, but said the cases have been re- if erred to the criminal division. Duke Of Edinburgh Makes Solo Flight LONDON--AP--The duke of Edinburgh, made his first solo flight after a month of flying lessons.

Again shoppers spent more money than in. any. other comparable prehtfliday week. In some places shortages cropped up, especially in such items as metal toys and small apparel. 'A Charlotte, NC, storekeeper even reported a lusty demand for $50 neckties (velvet woven with pure gold).

As shoppers spent money in circulation reached an all time peak for the fourth week in a Industrial production, hit the high spots, too, and prosperity was predicted by many economists even after the defense spending begins to taper off. Yearend statements were almost unanimous, in their optimism the months ahead. Everyone was talking good business. The only differences came on how good. The Bureau.of Labor Statistics reported factory employment in November (the latest figure available) was the highest since World War II.

The bureau reported there were 36,000 more manufacturing jobs than in October and the total was 16,529,000. The significance is that seasonal cutbacks in some industries usually bring a decline in the number of factory workers in November. But this year, the bureau clothing manufacturers did not trim their payrolls and durable goods producers expanded. The same situation was true for nonfarm jobs generally. The total of this category stood at 47,862,000 in.

above a year earlier. Dun Bradstreet, the business reporting service, said the accelerated pace of.the shoppers was expected to continue in the final shopping days before Christmas with the result a new peak season. In regard to food, the agriculture department in its final crop report of 1952 said American farmers produced a record volume of agricultural -products this year despite handicaps of drouth, reduced acreages and mostly lower farm prices. Stock Market Is Oil Wells Are Short Of Goal WASHINGTON AP --The oil industry has exceeded the midyear expectation of the Petroleum Administration for Defense but it is going to fall short of its goal of 50,000 new wells this year. The agency estimated last July after the steel strike that steel lost to the industry would cut the 1952 drilling program from 50,000 to about 40,000 wells.

But up to November 22nd, the number drilled was 41,379. One official of the agency figures a continuation of that trend would result in about 46,000 by the end of the year. A seasonal spurt is under way. Approximately 2,800 rigs were reported in operation last week, more than in any other week in the last six months. The 50,000 well goal was set by the Petroleum Administration and approved by the Defense Production Administration.

Not everyone in the industry concedes failure to meet the goal is due to the steel strike and the resulting lack of steel. Some say it is partly because some operators were not too interested in drilling a large number of wells because oil prices have remained the for a long tune under government price controls while drilling costs have climbed. Operators made the 'most of the steel shortage by using imported tubular goods and used pipe. They also substituted line pipe for tubular goods in some instances and in others skipped the use of casing in wells where normally It would have been used. C.

Cotton Prices Continue To Lose Ground NEW YORK --AP --Futures prices continued to loss ground on the New York Cotton Exchange last week. A sharp decline on Tuesday was responsible for most of the price drop. During the remainder of the week the market backed and filled with the price changes narrow.

1 The net change over 'the week i ranged from declines of 50 cents a bale to losses of $2.90. The sharpest declines were in the nearer deliveries. Light Activity The in the market reflected general liquidation, light activity in the goods market and slow exports. Growers in the Far West were reported letting their cotton go rather than place it in the loan. Some short covering and some mill price fixing cushioned the pirce drops.

There was some buying upon announcement of an Increase in the daily rate of consumption. The government 1 official con sumption report was pretty much in line with private trade expectations, however, and had little decisive effect on the market. The census bureau reported November cotton consumption averaged 38.961 bales each work- ins day. This compared with a daily average of 36,993 bales in October and 37,494 in November, 1951. The November improvement of 5.4 per cent compared with a 1.5 per cent increase a year FuH Season Use The exchange service bureau said if the daily rate remained in line with, the average of the.

last five years frbni'now until the end of the season, a full season use of 9,500,000 bales is in prospect. Most private trade forecasts for the season's consumption ran between 9,400,000 and 9,500,000 bales. Exports continued to run under the figures of a year ago. For'the week ended last Tuesday exports totaled 78,000 bales compared with 160,000 in the corresponding week a year ago. For the season through Tuesday exports totaled 1,106,000 bales against 2,425,000 at the same point last year.

Holders Of Wheat, Corn Experience Rugged Week CHICAGO AP It was a tough week for the holders of the country's two major grains, wheat and corn. Futures contracts of both sank to new seasonal lows on the board of trade. There was some recovery in the closing days of last week but not enough. A couple of wheat contracts ended fractionally higher for the period. However, the bulk of wheat and corn deliveries closed lower for the third straight week.

Elsewhere in the market trends were erratic. December oats showed! strength on short covering. Lard rebounded sharp ly from what many traders felt was an oversold condition. Soybeans mixed and. rye mostly lower.

Compared to a week earlier, wheat ended lower to higher, corn lower, oats unchanged to higher, rye lower to higher, soybeans lower to higher and lard 50 to 90 cents 100 pounds higher.

On New'52 High AP After struggling through a week ol minor the stock market mustered renewed strength and closed at a. new 1952 high. Most-of the rough going arose from psychological involving the question ol whether the market' had gone too high too fast and was due for a little rest a pause before the start of the traditional year end rally would not be unexpected. New developments were on the bullish side. Included is a prediction by the staff of the house-senate committee on the economic report prosperity will continue even whe defense spending tapers off.

Some traders who have been through a lot of these kinds of markets are inclined to believe the whole weelfu action was nothing more than a phase of tax selling and reinvestment They look upon it as a marking time operation until the decks are cleared for the advance which.in most cases runs from late December through early January. Certainly last week saw a high degree of selectivity every day with wide swings both ways and the movement of huge blocks of stock. A move to relax government controls--including relaxation of some price ceilings. and the granting of more steel for civilian use--are counted to the good in Wall Street. The earnings of the railroads continued good, and the railroads maintained their positions as market leaders.

The Associated Press average of 60 stocks gained 90 cents on the week with most of the gain accounted for by the railroads. The average, closed at $114.80, the highest level since June 4, 1930. On that date it stood at $116.60. Bond Market Lacks Funds For Investment NEW YORK--AP--A scarcity of funds for investment has been felt in the bond market. Utilities, considered the foundation of the corporate list, led the market irregularly lower.

The sale of 91 day bills by the treasury Monday was.the tipoff for last week's events: Despite purchases by the federal reserve, the borrowing costs on the government's shortest term security climbed to a new 19 year high for the third week in row. Treasury officials announced a $1,200,000,000 bill issue was "sold at an average yield of .2.138 per cent interest. Consequently, long term government bonds, which now yield little more than that adjusted downward. At midweek bank eligible slipped' to a new -1952 'low at Ibidf By ihe week: they rallied to 96 bid: Victory slid a half point over the week to 96 bid. However, the new intermediate remained a at 100 bid.

Financial circles say the lack of funds for bond purchases is due chiefly to the seasonal demand for loans from the nation's banks. Such utilities as American Telephone Telegraph, Pacific Gas Electric, Wisconsin Electric Power and Southwestern Bell Telephone were generally in the minus column during the week. Industrials and railroads were irregular, with some demand for medium priced carriers. Named To Staff SAN DIEGO--AP--Frank W. Davis, a graduate of California Institute of Technology, has been appointed to the staff of R.

C. Sebold, the vice president in charge of engineering for Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation. Davis joined Convair's Vultee field division in Downey In 1940 as. an engineering test pilot.

Is Down But Supply Is Good THE FRESNO BEE Fresno, CaL, Dec.

Vital Statistics TON AP The United States wheat crop to 1953 may fall far short of market demand but reserves from past crops will make up the difference. The total 1953 production could amount to about 896,000,000 bushels, the smallest in 10 years and much below this year's near record' output of 1,292,000,000 bushels. The 1953 figure includes a 611,141,000 bushel yield from Fall planted Winter wheat, as forecast by the agriculture department, and an assumed average Spring wheat crop of. 285,000,000 bushels, which will not be estimated until early Summer. The department said market demands from the 1953 crop, depending upon the export requirement, may be around 950,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 bushels.

The difference between supply and demand in 1953 can be taken from a 560,000,000 bushel reserve accumulated from recent big crops, much of which-js stored under the price support program.
