S. Production at War Tempo; Up 60 Per Cent Employment at New High, with 54 Million on Payrolls Steel Records Broken. By ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK (UP) Two years of the war in Europe have turned Am erican industry from peace-time to war-time production, stepped up out put by nearly 60 per cent and brought employment to a new record high, around 54.000.000 persons, a United Press survey reveals. New records have been set in pro duction of steel, airplanes, textiles, electricity, machine tools, cigarettes, and crude oil. Construction so far this year has totaled around $4,500, 000.000, according to Engineering News-Record figures, a higher total than for any full year in history. Record payrolls have been reflect ed in a rush to buy consumer goods. Retail trade has risen to an all-time record high on a tonnage basis and is close to the record dollar volume made in 1929. Wholesale trade has risen with retail. More telephones than ever before are in use. More automobiles were bought than at any other time. Steadily the cost of living has risen despite price ceilings, priori ties and other expedients to check it. Experts assert this situation may get out of hand unless real checks, such as high axes and torceci saie oi gov ernment bonds are introduced. Steel Records Broken Since the war began on Sept. 3, 1939, the steel mills of the United States have turned out 144,800.000 net tons of steel ingots. The year 1940 broke all records with output at GG,981.6G2 tons. In 1940, the whole world turned out 156,501.573 tons. So far in 1941, United States Konfrst aremltrmt Vine totnled nhniit 54.500.000 net tons and it is estimated the pro duction for the full year will reach SO. 000, 000 net tons. In the 24 months since Sept. 3, 1939, heavy construction awards have reached the astronomical total of $9,139,57 8,000. So far this year the total is around $4,500,000,000, compared with $3, 98?, 243. 000 for all of 1940. Automobile production for the 1941 model season totaled 5,590,000 cars and trucks which is just about equal to the all-time record made in 1929. Assets of national banks set a new record high at $41,315,000,000 and deposits also made a new high $37,351,000,000. Money in circula tion reached a record top just under $10,000,000,000. At the beginning of the war the circulation figure was $7,049,000,000 and at the time of U. S. entry into the World war the figure stood at $4,066,000,000. Gold Stocks at 23 Million Gold stock reached a record high just under $23,000,000,000. This represents an increase of about $6, 000.000,000 in the 24 months dur ation of the war. All commodities have risen an average around 20 per cent since the war began, while food prices have advanced as much as 48 per cent Defense production was acceler ating but the output of non-defense materials was tnreatened tiy govern ment priorities.

(UP) The weird music, emanating from "Devil's Hole," a popular fishing spot on the Middle Fork of the Feather river, has been explained by Rudy Pulver. prospector and experienced moun tainej.
