U. 5. Industrial Profits Up
For First Time In 12 Months
(Copyright, 1949, By The Associated Press) :
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.— (XP) —Profits of American in
dustry turned upwards in the third quarter of this year
for the first time in 12 months.
They stand only slightly below the all-time high mark
of a year ago, when third quarter earnings were the peak
i the record year of 1948, :
An unusual feature of the third quarter was the sub
stantial increase in earnings of automobile companies
»\'Elich off-get' a gharp decline in oil company profits.
The compilation by the Associ
ated Press of earnings reports of\
314 leading corparations in ail ma=
jor fields showed today a total net
profit of §1,003,644,061 in the July-
September quarter,
That is 4.3 per cent higher than
the total of $962,102,819 reported
by the same corporations in the
second quarter of this year.
It is only 4.1 per cent lcwer than'
the $1,046,983,291 earned by these
companies in the third quarter of
1948,
Corporate earnings slid lower in
the final quarter of 1948 from
their third quarter peak, and the
decline continued in the first and
second quarters of this year,
The upturn was not surprising
to those who watched the reces
ston of early 1949 give way grad
ually to an economic recovery
around mid-year, The present
profit trend confirms that rebound.
Largely responsible for the over
all good showing are the earnings
of two automobile companies,

Former Secretary Of State
Edward R. Stettinius Dies
Death Comes Suddenly At
. e
Home Of Sister In Conn.
GREENWICH, Conn., Oct. 81, — (AP) — Edward R.
Stettinius, jr., wartime head of lend-lease and U. S. Secre
tary of State when the United Nations came into being,
died today at the age of 49,
The white-haired, handsome Stettinius, who at 87 be

the University of Virginia after leaving the U, N, post in
1946.

Trippe here. Mrs. Trippe is Stet
tinius® sister. Her husband is
head of Pan-American World Air
ways.
A rich man’s son, Stettinius went
into government service and
shortly became administrator of
the $60.000,000,000 lend-lease pro
gram that played a maior role in
the final defeat of Nazi Germany.
The former cabinet member’s
secretary said members of the

lor as board chairman in 1938.
He did not hold the post long.
President Roosevelt made him
chairman of the War Resources
‘Board the following year and keot
‘him in similar high posts in the
face of charges by some New Deal
ers that Stettinius was too “big
business minded.”

ivelt named him Jnder Secretary
of State, a surprise appointment.
r‘ He took over the top tabinet post
'a year later, becoming the second
youngest Secretary of State in
American history.

Single Trade Area
Hoffman Says ECA Countries Must *
Join One Unit Or Face Disaster
By The Associated Press
Western Europe was told today by Marshall Plan boss
Paul G. Hoffman to join in a single economic unit if it
wants to get more aid funds from Congress.
Hoffman warned the Marshall Plan countries they had
better show results early next year in promoting free trade
by knocking_.down nationar tariff barriers and erasing
complex money problems.
Goods in the big Western Euro~
pean market, he said, must move
freely across national boundaries
or the result will be “disaster for
’ nations and poverty for peoples.”
Hoffman’s call for concrete ac~
tion was made in a statement to
the general council of the organ
ization for European Economic
"Coopoufig (OEEC): The organ=~
ization, which helps administer
the Marshall Plan, is meeting in
Paris.
~ Hoffman credited the Marshall
Plan countries with making
“truly amazing progress” in re
storing industrial and agricultu
ral productien over the past two
years., But, he said, cooperative
action between nations is needed
if Western Europe’s economic
problems are to be solved.
An American official in Paris
said United States experts are
drawing preliminary plans for a
Marshall Plan in Asia designed
to halt the spread of Communism
in the Orient.
The official predicted the pro-‘
ject would win congressional sup
port. He said a request probably
will be nrade to Congress next
summer for $1,000,000,000 to sl,~
250,000,000 for the first year,
Philippines President Elpido
Quirino said in Manila a confer
ence to organize a non-Commun=
ist Union in Southeast Asia will
be held here early next year.

In Cairo, the Arab League’'s

Barkley To Wed
St. Louis Widow
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 31 — (AP) —
Vice President Alben W. Barkley,
who has scored many successes in
a long political eareer, has also
proved himself lucky. in love.
Mrs. Carleton S. Hadley, the
comely young widow whom he
courted diligently for nearly four
months, announced last night that
the two would be married here
Nov. 18. s
The announcement was made
informally in the presence of a
few friends and newspapermen in
Mrs. Hadiev’s apartment as the
Vice President stood by smiling.
Wedding details were not made
public. Friends expected the cer
emony would be a simple one and
would be performed in one of the
local Methodist Churches. Both
the 71-year-old Kentuckian and
his 38-vear-old bride-to-be are
members of that faith. |
The wedding announcement was |
delayed nmearly thirty minutes

Steel, Coal Peace
Rumors Collide
Gov’t Intervention In Steel-Coal ™%
Tieups Seen; Murray Hints New Move
WASHINGTON, Oct. 81.—(AP)—A rumor that settle
ment of both the steel and coal strikes is imminent collid
ed today with a hint that the government soon may take a
hand in the coal strike situation,
The rumor came from labor sources at the CIO convens
tion in Cleveland; the hint from government officials in
Washington. Neither was officially confrmed.
CIO President Philip Murray,|
leader of the month-old steel
strike, intimated something is
afoot when he announced he
would hold a press conference
this afternoon.
One top officer oi ihe Sieei- |
workers allowed reporters to get
the impression that Murray and
at least one of the major steel
companies had settled terms. An=-
other Murray adviser denied any
knowledge of a strike settlement.
A usually well-informed gov=-
ernment official said at Cleveland
that announcement of Murray’s
settlement was being held up to
allow simultaneous strike-end
signals in steel and John L.
Lewis’ 43-day-old coal strike,
Well-placed Washington offi
cials said they believed the time
is near for the government to call
the off-again-on-again coal talks
to Washington.
Steel Interest
For at least two weeks the
government has centered all its
peace-making efforts on - steel.
Cyrus S. Ching, top federal me
diator, has spent most of that
time talking with officials of U, 8.
Steel Corp., biggest steel producer
in the nation,
Ching, it was learned, still be
lieves that any settlement of the
twin strikes in basic industries
must start in steel, since many of
the coal mines are owned or dom=
inated by big steel firms.
However, the coal talks have
hit bottom. Negotiations in West
Virginia between John L. Lewis’
striking miners union and North
ern and Western operators have
been broken off entirely by the
operators. Talks between Lewis’
union and Southern operators
have gotten nowhere.
Faster Pace
Ching was represented as feel
ing something must be done this
‘week to spur the coal contract
talks to a faster pace,
The 73-year-old mediation chief
scheduled talks tomorrow with
officials of three steel firms, Re
public, Jones & Laughlin and
Youngstown Sheet and Tube,
His plan is to explore possibili
tles with major producers toward
‘possible mreeting of the terms of
Philip Murray’s striking €IO
Steelworkers,
Those terms were a pension
insurance plan costing up to 10-
cents an hour per worker, finan=
ced wholly by the employer as
recommended by a presidential
board. The steel industry was de
meanding that workers pay some
additional amount in contributing
io the pension-insurance costs.
Ching was exploring these
ideas: (1) that steel firms might
g 0 along with Murray on em
ployer - paid’ pension - insurance
plans in return for a commitment
that the welfare program be fix
ed for a number of years, and (2)
that the companies agree to some
sort of wage boost to be effective
next spring.
to those present and said chival
rously: “The Vice President yields
—shall we say — to the Senator
from Missouri.” T e
Mrs. Hadley, with eyes : spark
ling, said simply: *The Vice. Presi
dent and T are golng to he married
on the 18th of November.. The
plans will be announced later.”
Friends then rushed up to con
gratulate the couple, while pho
tographers’ bulbs flashed.
“T certainly deserve to be con
gratulated,” Barkley commented.
| “T regard myself as greatly hon~-
ored by the announcement Mrs,
Hadley has just made.”
About forty persons, who gath
ered on the lawn outside, were
admitted to the apartmeént to con
gratulate the couple, who seemed
as shy and gay as a couple of
voungsters who hd just told their
folks there was going to be a wed
