COtTRTER War Could Hurt Arkansas' Balance of Agri-Industry Note: Thi. itac Kritc of ftorta discussing Arkansu' economic, induclrul and business raini) BT RAKI.KV PCKSHING KOCK, July 20. (AP) Where would Arkansas stand should another world war break Into the open? What happen to Arkansas' Industry, resources and economic slablUty should the Korean war touch off the powder keg? These questions and many other on the lips of thousands of Arkansas business, government and civic leaders. At least three officials predict great possibilities for Arkansas but one of them thinks that another era of booming war industries might endanger the state's future. He Is Charles R.

Bowers, director of the Arkansas Resources and Development Commission's Division of Industry. The others are Harold Poxhall, state geologist, and Frank Cantrell, managing director of the Arkansas economic council-stale Chamber of Commerce. More War Hants Bowers predicted that Arkansas probably would have more plants should another war break out than it had during the inst one. "The natural resources this state would make it a prime locale war plants," said Bowers, adding: "Many of our minerals are needed in war time; we have much undeveloped land and an excellent labor supply." "Other factors which will put Arkansas up front In obtaining war industries are: Geographical location; "2. Abundance of water for use in industry.

"3. Excellent transportation facilities. "4. Numerous waterways that can be made navagible. "5.

Abundance of natural gas, electricity and petroleum." Planning Could Be Killed Bowers said that another war bring in much wealth to the ftate but he said that years "of economic planning could be wiped off the books should expansion of industries become too great." explained that, much ivori has been accomplished to hold Arkansas' conomy on a balance between agriculture and industry. "The lure of war might take 'too many folks off the farms and upset that balance." Cantrell believes that Arkansas' peacetime Industries could be gear- si to war production on a short He said his office has been In contact with the Nations! Security Resources Board to keep "an up-to-the-minute check with what that agency will do in went oS another war." Aid of NSRB That board is a federal agency appointed by President Truman to set up industrial needs to meet de- mauds of this nation's defense machine. Cantrell predicted that these plants which turned out war materials during World War II could be converted quickly to production: The Maumelle Ordnance near Little Rock, the Camden, rocket plant, numerous industries near El Dorado, the Pine Bluff at- senal and the Hope proving ground.

1950 CREDIT PICTURE WORRIES WASHINCTON-Fedwal nomic experts look with considerable concern on the steadily rising curve ol consumer credit. Many see it as an inflationary prelude to an economic bust. Graph shows how private debt has risen from less than $8,000,000,000 at the end of prewar 1939 to nearly $19,000.000,000 in the first half of 1950. However, the important Jaclor is not the total debt, but how much of income it represents. Actually, the ratio of debt to -income (or 1939 was 36.5 per cent while 1950's is only 29.9 per cent because Joe Doake's income these days is so much higher than it was in 1939.

Vital War Material The state geologist said these minerals, which ate produced in Arkansas, are vital war materials: Bauxite, from which is produced aluminum. Manganese, used trie production of steel. Titanium, a mineral used in production of welding rods.

Barite, which is used in drilling operations. a mineral used in the production of fjarfs. Oil and coal. Chemical grade limestone. Foxhall also said there is a possibility thai Arkansas contains s-mie uranium, a mineral needed in the production of atomic bombs.

He ulso expressed trie fear that a heavy strain on these minerals might depict Arkansas' supply "and in the care of bauxite, It might! mean the end of some of those minerals."
