Economists talked of a “level
ing off” of the boom. It was the
paradox of 1948 that such was
what Americans wanted, and such
\ vas what we feared.
We wanted the nice things that
came with prosperity, but we did
not want to pay the prices; yet we
worried that if the prices fell too
sharply, prosperity would go tum
bling with them.
STUART, Fla., <£>)—Capt. Bill
McCoy, pioneer Florida passenger
and freight boat operator, died
from a heart attack aboard his
boat yesterday.
McCoy was credited here with
originating the term “the real Mc
Coy.” Friends said he also found
ed “rum row” during prohibition.
When the nation voted prohibi
tion, friends said McCoy bought a
schooner with a capacity of 6,000
cases and boasted he never sold
anything but “the real McCoy.”

Heavy Government
Spending Will
Make Prosperity
SEATTLE. (/P)—A panel of Pa
cific Northwest business analysts
have predicted good business
ahead for 1949. But they cite con
tinued heavy government spend
ing as a vital factor.
Charles J. Miller, editor of the
Pacific Northwest industry, re
ported the general agreement yes
terday. The publication obtained
the opinions from analysts in Mon
tana, Idaho, Oregon, British Co
lumbia and Washington. The mag
azine is published by the bureau
of business research at the Univer
sity of Washington.
“What happens in our economy
in the next 12 months,” Miller
noted, “will be in substantial part
determined by the actions of our'
government—domestically and in
ternationally. Our present pros
perity rests heavily on govern
ment spending. Should that be
substantially curtailed, serious re
adjustment? would be necessitat
ed.”
He cited as major Pacific North
west s.umbling blocks the power
shortage, possible rail rate in
creases, inadequate housing and
| concern over the effect of the U.
S. supreme court’s basing point
decision. Under the latter decision,
manufacturers would have to set
their prices at the points of pro
duction, so the full freight costs to
distant points would, in effect,
have to be met by distant buyers.
Red Spy Names
i New Names
BALTIMORE. (£>) —Whittaker
Chambers met with Reps. Mundt
i»R.-S. D.> and Nixon <R.-Cal.’ on
j Chambers’ Maryland farm Wed
[ nesday and under oath disclosed
i new names and more detailed in
formation connected with espion
! age activities in the government
10 years ago, the Baltimore Sun
said yesterday.
In a special article by William
Knighton, Jr., of its Washington
i bureau, the Sun quoted Mundt as
saying Chambers had furnished
enough fresh leads to “keep the
committee and the staff constantly
at work for six months or a year.”
The two members of the House
un-American activities committee,
with Robert P. Stripling, its chief
investigator, a stenographer and
other committee aides, drove out
to the admitted ex-communist
agent’s farm near Westminister,
the newspaper said. -■ . » •
For five hours, Mundt said, they
let Chambers tell his complete
story in his own way, Unhurried;
and almost without interruption,
Knighton wrote,
i »The .Sun sarid;
. “The actiry* chairman Tof the
committee) said* Chambers reveal
ed new names ^connected. with the
spy ring, but'h§ declined to make
them-public.
“The-figures . did not.include
any new suppliers oX . inXor.mation
to the- ‘apparatus.’ The included,
he added, some persons who are
dead and some who now’-are oper
ating in other countries ...”
A LINCOLN STRONGHOLD '
•DECATUR, 111. (&) — A board
belf'ln central Illinois is known
as^-the “Lincoln cpuiltry,” because
Abraham Lincoln lived there. But
the title is supported by current
as well as historic, facts. A survey
shows that eight relatives of., the

their homes in Macon county.
They are fourth, fifth and sixth
cousins.
