CIVILIAN ECONOMY to be HIT
"HARD AND HEAVY"
GEN. CLAY PREDICTS
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Gen. Lu
cius D. Clay, leaving his high mo
bilization job to reenter private
industry, predicted Saturday that
shortages will hit the civilian ec
onomy “hard and heavy” late this
year.
Makers of cars, refrigerators,
and other durables, whose steel
supply will be cut 20% starting
tomorrow, probably will b e
trimmed “another *10% or more”
in the third or fourth quarters,
Clay told a reporter.
The cutbacks have been cau
tious so far, he said, partly be
cause defense leaders want to
avoid widespread layoffs. These
would scatter the labor force in
industries which later will be load
ed with defense work.

VALDEZ CAR BURIED
IN EARTHSLIDE
Squashed to 3% Feet—
Occupants Survive
ANCHORAGE, (/P)—Workmen
a; a construction project near Val
dez, 175 miles east of here, dug
slowly through debris covering
an automobile buried by an earth
slide.
They dug slowly because the
slide, touched off by a construc
tion blast, had smothered the car
, under tons of rock and snow from
i a hillside bordering the road.
There wasn’t much chance, they
thought, that anyone in the car
could have survived.
Just as a shovel scraped the
car, the workmen heard groans.
They stepped up their pace,
quickly uncovered the machine
and found Olaf Walhood, 48, and
Varl Lawrence, 38, both of Val
dez, miraculously alive in the
crushed vehicle.
Doctors said today the condi
tion of both men was good despite
serious injuries.
Walhood was hurt internally,
and Lawrence received a broken
collarbone and wrenched back.
Both men suffered from shock.
Workmen said the car was flat
tened to three and a half feet.

Religious Faith,
Says Truman
By Ernest B. Vaccaro
WASHINGTON, {£>)—President
Truman declared Tuesday Ameri

religion to prevent a Communist
tide of aggression “from sweep

He also said religious principles
command a fight on organized
crime and vice.
The task ahead is “full of un
certainties and sacrifices,” Mr.
Truman said, “but we need not be
afraid if we have the faith.”
The president spoke as a corn

M r. Truman said Americans
can follow their religious faiths
“with the same devotion and de
termination the Communists give
to their godless creed.” Religion,
he said, must live in American
hearts “as a burning faith.”
“Only such a faith—only -a liv

can carry this country through
the trials which are ahead of it,”
he continued.
