BUSINESS CONDITIONS IN
12TII FEDERAL RESERVE
DISTRICT, JUNE 26, 1940
Despite a decline during the
first quarter of the year, district
industrial activity in April was
l considerably higher than a year
i earlier and turned upward! in
May. The higher rate of opera
tions in recent months and the
upturn in May are traceable prin
|cipally to developments associat
i ed with the war in Europe and
: to the sustained high level of
I residential building in the dis
trict as well as elsewhere in the
United States. More recently the
large domestic armament pro
gram now being developed has
become a prominent influence in
the business situation through
assuring a large demand for
armaments and related products
over the next several years.
Some of these products such as
aircraft are now produced in im
portant volume in the Twelfth
District. The influence of such
large armament expenditures as
have been proposed would, how
ever, be felt in the region prin
cipally through indirect chan
nels, such as stimulation of de
mand fur agriculture and miscel
laneous industrial products grow
ing out of a general rise in busi
ness levels.
The rise in industrial opera
tions in May was accompanied
by advances in factory employ
ment and payrolls, greater than
seasonal gains taking place in
both the Pacific Northwest and
California. At the mid-month,
the number of wage earners in
three Pacific Coast states was 13
percent higher than a year ear
lier while payrolls showed an in
crease of 16 percent. The year
period gains and the increase in
May in Oregon and Washington
i primarily reflected increased op
i erations in the lumber and the
pulp and paper industries, while
the gains in California resulted
chiefly from expansion in the air
craft industry and in metal work
ing industries which supply re
quirements of the aircraft man
ufacturers. Freight-car loadings,
which are a roiiigtumeasure of pri
mary distribution, continued the
moderate decline in evidence
during recent months, although
they remained well above a year
earlier. Residential building un
dertaken in May was lower than
in April but the seasonally ad
justed index was somewhat high
er than in February and March
and considerably above a year
earlier. Preliminary data for
June, however point to little
change in the index in that
month. New automobile registra
tions increased moderately, al
though a decline usually occurs
at this season, while sales of de
partment stores, on a seasonally
adjusted basis, remained as large
as in recent months. In other
lines of retail trade for which in
formation is available, sales were
well maintained or advanced
slightly in May.

Bald Eagle, Symbol of Freedom,
Protected from Hunters’ Guns
The bald eagle, symbol of Am
rrican ideals of freedom is now
protected from all hunters and
collectors by an act of Congress
which has been approved bv
President Roosevelt, Secretary of
the Interior Harold L. Ickes an
nounced. Enforcement of the act
will be delegated to U. S. game
management agents and deputy
agents of the Bureau of Biolog
ical Survey, who are charged
with the conservation of the
country’s wildlife resources.
The “Bald Eagle Act” was spon
sored by Senator David I. Walsh
and Representative Charles R.
Clason of Massachusetts. Declar
ing that the bald eagle is now
threatened with extinction and
expressing the desire to protect
the bird that was adopted as the
national symbol by the Contin
ental Congress in 1782. the Act
prohibit anyone from possessing
bald eagles in any manner, whe
j ther by taking, bartering, sell
i ing or other means. The act pro
tects the bird throughout the
United States and its possessions
!except Alaska.
Persons taking, possessing, or
dealing in bald eagles will be li
able to fines up to $500 or im
prisonment up to six months or
both.
Secretary Ickes, however, has
been authorized to issue permits
| to take, possess, or transport bald
: eagles after investigations show
;such action is compatible with
the preservation of the bird. The
Act specifies he may issue these
permits when deemed advisable,
to public museums, scientific so
cieties or zoological parks, or
when he finds such action nec
essary for the protection of wild
! life or agricultural or other
interests in any particular local
ity.

The blaze exploded drums of
gasoline and sent burning col
umns of flame shooting high in
, to the sky. Firemen managed to
Isave three other planes in the
vicinity before the fire reached
them.
