. which will be available.
Spending Reserves
A huge unsatisfied) demand for
' goods. Year after year,) consumers
‘have been unable to use their incomes ag they would normally.
In 1944 svendable income amountled to $138,000,000,000. If there had

goods, based on past averages peo. ple would have spent $118,000,000‘000. They spent only $98,000,000,000. The $20,000,000,000 difference
. between what they would have spent;
and did spend represents in large.
‘part unsatisfied demand.

anywhere. g Not all of this will be.
spent, of course, but its: pressure will
bolster post VE-day demand.
Civilian Goods
We will have more. durable goods

Wage Kates
There are a few industries~ in
which the hourly ,wage rates have,
jincreased less than the cost of liv-,
ing. Hence any sharp decline in the
hours worked per week would seriously affect the standard of living
of workers in these industries. T
have asked the Dirgctor of Economic
Stabilization and the Chairman of the
WLB to make a special study to determine these industries and the adijustments which can be made within
the framework of the stabilization
policies, which must continue.
So far during, the war, improved
techniques of production, new tools,
and better engineering have increased the productivity of workers. How
much of that productivity will be
carried over into peace time production cannot be predicted or estimated. When the output per worker is
increased, the worker must share in
the profit from the increased output.
I feel sure that ultimately after
the war local take home pay in the
United States will reach the present
level. But the pay must have as a
foundation a volume of production
and.consumption of civilian goods
equal to the present production and
consumption of war goods-and civilian goods combined.
Transportation
When Germany is defeated, the
volume of traffic in this country wi:l
decrease only slightly below present
high levels.
While the transportation of war
. products will decline, there will ‘be
an increase in the movement of civilian products. Moreover, the shipments of guns, tanks and _ other
military supplies to the West Coast
will increase, This will mean longei
hauls and longer time for

Moreover, the producers who are
beginning to make civilian goods will
compete with war producers for materials as the WPB relaxes restriction orders. The demands of ronsumers, and their demands reflected in
the demands of producers, will outstrip supply even after civilian production has been resomed. Our place

‘workers get preference in the purhase of qutomobiles, tires and tubes. After VE-day the same policy
will have to prevail.
So far, economic stabilization has
worked. Wheréas in the first world
‘war the cost of living rose-62 per
cent in 52 months, in this war it has
gone up only 29 per cent in a much
longer period—66 months. Stabilization would have been impossible
without the voluntary cooperation
of labor, ‘management and consumers.
Through the machinery of the W
UB disputes between management
and labor have been settled on the
whole effectively. By and large management and labor have carried out
their no lockout and no strike pledges. Government seizure of private
business has been resorted to only
in rare instances.
As'I noted in my first report. ‘‘seizure imposes on the government onerous responsibilities of operating
private -businéss.”I therefore repeat
my recommendation that the congress give the WLB statutory power
to make its decisions enforceable.
Stabilization Plans
The VE-day program of economic
stabilization divides into five main
parts.
To keep prices in check so that
the cost of living will not go up.
This can be done only if the Price
‘Stabilization Act is extended.
To establish prices on newly manare distributed so-as to support the!
500,000,000 ton miles of freight.
This was double the freight carried
in 1939 and was accomplished with
only 20 per’ cent more freight cars
and 10 per cent more locomotives.
The car shortage is serious. Wheat
and other grain, metal concentrates,
and other valuable freight are being
shipped in hopper bottom and gondola cars because of the lack of box
cars. The opening of the Great Lakes will reduce the grain load to some
extent. However, the rail movement
of grain from farms to seaboard will
be a heavy burden on our rail facilities.
Funeral Service
for J. F. Finane
Funeral services under direction
of Holmes Funeral Home were held
in St. Canice Catholic Church this
morning for Joseph Thomgs Finane
who passed away Friday in a local
hospital. Rev. Virgil Gabrielli officiated. Interment was in the Catholic
Cemetery.
The deceased was born in Forest,
Sierra County, 73 years ago. He was
one of eleven children of the late
Mr. and Mrs. D. Finane, early day
residents of .that mining camp. He
spent most of his life in mining in
the vicinity of Forest and only came
to Nevada City two years ago pecause of poor health. Surviving him
are his sisters, Mrs. Joseph McDougall of Alleghany, Sierra County, and
Mrs. T. J. McGrath of Berkeley.

Nevada County Share
Liquor Taxes $3,262.50
SACRAMENTO, April 30—Allocation of $1,015,830.73 to California
cities and counties as their sare of
alcoholic beverage license fees collected during the last half of 1944,
was announced today by R. E. Collins, chairman of the State Board of
Equalization.
This represents ogn half*of the
total fees of $2,031,661,46, of which
the other half goes into the state
general fund where a_ substantial
part of it is appropriated for the expenses of olcoholic beverage control.
Of this sum; shared on the basis
of actual licenses issued, $3,262.50
will be distributed in Nevada County where $792.50 will go to Nevada
City and $1,582.50 to the unincorporated area in the county. Grass
Valley’s allotment is $887.50:
Collins pointed out that with the
current allocation, cities and counties throughout the state will have
received a total of $28,966,689.81
from liquor license fees gince the repeal of prohibition. This revenue has
been collected and distributed by the
board at no cost to local government
units as all administrative expenses
is borne out of the state’s share of
the fees,
Basing his opinion upon the provisions of the law under which the
allocations are made, the state attorney general has advised the board
that funds thus distributed are to
be. used by the cities and counties
in the enforcement of regulations
pertaining to the sale and use of alcoholic beverages under a system of
joint responsibility of state and local law enforcement officials.

driven by this jet engine.
“As soon as the Shooting Star
picks up a little speed, you really
begin to appreciate the power,’’ he
said. ‘“‘With the constant trust the
jet gives, you still have good acceleration in the higher speed brackets.
Once the P-80 is wide open. it seems
to float through the air with the
greatest of ease. There’s absolutely
no sensation of tension or virbration
when it’s opened up, in direct contrast to any other type of plane.”
1 The AAF journal states further
that all pilots who have flown the
Lockheed Shooting Star, have been
impressed by its flying qualities.”
“Warmup is instantaneous, thrust
is available in less than a minute after etarting,’’ the journal continues.
‘Taxiing and landing require certain knacks that an experienced
pilot can easily pick up.”
Installed in the fuselage of the
‘P-80 Shooting Star ‘between the
cockpit and tail, these advanced General Electric engines are far more
powerful than an conventional recivrocating engine for aireraft.
The functioning of the jet engine
is simple. Air rams into. vents in
front of the wings of the plane, almost flush with the fuselage. The air
flows to the engine, where it is compressed by a swiftly rotating impeller. The air is flushed by the impell®
