Page 28 Urn LA CROSSE SUNDAY TRIBUNE, la Cram, Wisconsin Sunday, May 8 1993 Business Outlook No-Depression Talk Has Folks Wondering; Anti-Inflation Policy Fraught With Risks By J. A. LIVINGSTON Stanley Kavaleski, a metal finisher on a Detroit assembly line, is puzzled by gloom warnings. Why should Secretary of Commerce Weeks say we have an fashioned depression? Why should Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey say we have to fear peace? Kavaleski figure this depression talk. He never had it so good not even under Truman.

Steady work every day. Overtime week. Sometimes Saturdays. And that overtime in the pay envelope crinkles. not like in the Then overtime was rare and the pay jingled.

Small change. To all this, John Kelly, in Kavaleski's car pool, says Stores Doing Okay And Sadie Smith, a bookkeeper in a Chicago department store, just get jittery. (Department store sales in the year to date are up 4 per cent, in the Chicago area, per cent.) The short help and her boy friend talks of a raise and of getting married. too busy looking in Jewelry-store windows to read financial-page warnings about depression psychology. So it goes.

Yet you can find things to worry about. Television production is off from about 200, OOO weekly in November to 160,000 Bow. But TV output customarily sloughs off at this time of the year. before the big season. Refrigerators, too.

There is a great difference of opinion so Shorter Work Weeks Ahead New orders of hard-good manufacturers have been turned down.

They still amount to more than five months shipments at current rates. At the time of Korea, unfilled orders were only two and one-half shipments. Nevertheless, since durable machinery, automobiles, trucks, freight cars, appliances, and so been the prime output. This comes after a sharp postwar boom, turndown requires watching.

By order of La Crosse County Highway Committee FAUL A HARTWIG La County Highway Commissioner. the What Humphrey and Weeks realize and what Kavalski, Kelly, and Miss Smith maybe realize is that some decline in output is probable late ths year. There will be shorter work weeks at best and perhaps layoffs.

AH through the postwar period, the automobile industry just go down. Sales fatigue was evident in 1952, but defense cut output to demand. Nevertheless, automobile manufacturers are producing like mechanical rabbits running away from dogtrack greyhounds. Each company wants its share of business in a year believed to be the end of the market. Ford want to lose a sale to Chevrolet or Plymouth because a dealer somewhere a car in stock.

So Ford pushes output, as does Plymouth, or Kaiser, or Nash And all pay overtime to do it! Trying To Beat Strike All companies fear strikes and want to produce while they can. The steel agreement ends June 30. and the United Steelworkers huve a new president, David J. McDon- ild. Following revered Phil Mur iy, got to show his stuff.

And motor manufacturers ure not ruling out the possibility of labor trouble of their own. Walter Heather is dissatisfied with his cost- of-living contract, now that the index has turned down. In the first 16 weeks of this year, auto companies produced more than 2 million passenger cars. been turning out 140,000 a week lately. At this rate, have produced 3,400,000 cars by the end of June.

Yet the market is estimated at 5,500,000, may be 6 million Thus, in the second half, production is likely to fall to a level of 2,100,000 or 2,600.000. That would be a rate of 80,000 to 100,000 cars per week, or a 30 per cent to 40 per cent decline from current levels. What Humphrey and Weeks want the Kavaleskis, Kellys, and Smiths to know is that such a drop fits, more or less, the pattern of prewar years. They want a production jolt in Detroit to spread to Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, New York, and San Francisco. particularly concerned because the treasury's new issue of has unsettled the bond market.

Money is tighter than at any time in the postwar period. The financial on and the budget's being cut. The anti-inflation policy is fraught with risks. President Eisenhower's advisers want it said, planned it that if a sharp decline really comes. Hence, the depression declarations.
