THE CLINTON CHRONICLE
Special To The Chronicle.
Washington, May 1.—Concern is
being expressed in nrtany quarters
about the nation’s economy. The
question was being asked: Will
peace, if it comes, also mean de
pression?
It is generally believed, Con
gressional Quarterly reports after
an extensive survey of federal
agencies, that the remainder of
1953 will see a healthy economy,?
although U. S. economy has been
closely attuned to the defense pro
gram. Cutbacks in that program
will mean some economic adjust
ing, but it should not mean a de*
pression in 1953.
The survey, however, indicated
that the prospects for 1954 are less
certain, and that there may be a
major test of the nation’s ecqnomic
strength in 1953, when defense
spending is expected to level off.
It is the projected transition from
a defense to a civilian economy
that marks 1955 as a crucial year.
A recession would be entirely pos
sible if civilian markets are un
able to expand enough to take up
the slack left by a decline in the
defense build-up, Congrssional
Quarterly reports.
Peace in Korea might also mean
lower taxes, and this would help
ease business and the consumer
over the drop in demand and in
available money. The trend could
also include an increase in public
works construction.
• But the years after 1953 will pre
sent economic problems to indus
try, the consumer and government
alike.

Meanwhile the world watched
for new Rusian peace bids and
heard President Eisenhower out-
tprium or the Columbia Township
Auditorium.
The governor has until the next
session of the Assembly to consider
all acts ratified yesterday.
Among the 122, of which most
were local, were ones to:
Provide for accioent insurance for
children riding school buses, allow
the State Purchasing Agency to buy
materials for counties, change the ti
tle of the head of ihe State Medical
Collee from president to chairman,
allow absentee registration and pri
mary, and general election voting by
service-connected people and by
those in' foreign service, recodify
laws regulating the practice of cos
metic art (beauty parlors), and reg
ulate the sale of insecticides.
In vetoing the auditorium tax ex
emption act, the governor said:
