Perhaps the most dramatic project under discussion from an American viewpoint is a proposal for a multi-billion dollar stabilization loan. Under it, the American government would undertake, by using the dollars when necessary to buy pounds, to support Britain's sagging currency at some new rate of exchange lower than the present $4.03 per pound.

Truman Works on Economic Tonic Go to Montfoy WASHINGTON, of mounting employment sized up without alarm Satur-. day by a congressional mittee while President Truman finished writing out his prescription for a national economc tonic. The president will send his recommendations to congress Monday in his mid-year economic report.

It is "being awaited- with more than usual interest because of business slumps in some fields and the rise in the number of persons out of work. Those conditions, a senate- house economic subcommittee conceded, are shortening the average work-week, forcing acceptance of more part-time jobs, and wiping out most overtime pay. Not Unreasonably High Even so, the subcommittee said, the best estimates of government agencies show that while joblessness is increasing, it is "not now at unreasonably high levels for the country as a whole." In the lawmakers added, figures compiled by the same agencies show that, despite the climb of unemployment, more persons are working than In any previous year except 1948. That natiojial job picture was presented in a preliminary report by the economic subcommittee which soon will start what Us chairman. Representative Hart.

calls an "intensive investigation of the unemployment problem." Saturday's report simply summarized data already available from sources. Meanwhile, the CIO United Electrical Workers charged that the administration is misrepresenting the seriousnes of the unemployment situation. Question Accuracy The union sharply disputed the accuracy of census bureau fig ures estimating unemployment last month at 3,800.000. The use said at least 5,400,000 were job less at that time. Another economic indicator became available Saturday from the agriculture department.

It reported that American farmers had 10 per cent fewer dollars to spend in the first half of 1949 than in the corresponding period of 1948. And it predicted a fur ther decline of farm prices if production continues large. In his report to congress, Mr. Truman reportedly will stress that the economy generally is sound and healthy, but at the same time take into serious account the increase in unemploy-. rn.ent, Those who help shape administration policy anticipate that the president will outline a program designed to haost production and put a checkrein on oblessness.

WottM Boost Output They are predicting he will set a goal for the output of some 5300,000,000,000 of goods and services a year--a level per cent above the present rate. Eight democratic senators are getting set fo foUow up Mr- Truman's message with a progKun which they believe would help achieve objectives. They plan to introduce a bUl-r- proposed "economic expansion act of for: Federal loans and grants to incourage production, the ning of a $15,000,000,000 public works program, and also for shifting jobless persons and their families to areas where work is available. The bill has no official administration blessing at present, but the sponsors say it is in line with Mr. Truman's thinking.

Younker Brothers recently announced the purchase of Yetter's, an Iowa City department store. A Yetter's stockholder, Frederick May of New York, and his firm, Frederick May and company, immediately filed a suit against both parties to the sale.

May claimed the Yetter's officers were not acting in the interest of the stockholders in selling out. He said he was financial and business adviser for the firm under a contract running until 1952 but was not consulted in the sale. In Saturday's motion, Younker Brothers claimed some of the records ordered produced for the hearing are irrelevant to the suit. The motion also stated that Frederick'May and company is not authorized to do business in Iowa. District Court Judge Harold D.

Evans will probably rule on the motion Monday.
