Economists Predict 47 Recession by June and Through 1947
A panel of 13 economists foresees a 10 percent drop in industrial production in 1947 with unemployment rising to about 3.7 million and a 15 percent decline in department store volume. They expect stock prices to fall early but an upturn in the second half, with the Dow industrials rising to about 162. The cost of living may ease about 3 percent by June and 10 percent by year-end, potentially easing labor wage pressures and fostering industrial peace. The survey cites potential risks like strikes, foreign-relations issues, price deflation, and shifts in land values, and notes past forecast errors in stock market timing.

G O P Bloc Powers Up For Showdown In Congress
The Associated Press reports strife in Republican ranks in both Senate and House as they rush to organize for the 80th Congress. Democrats, newly in minority in both chambers, prepare for smoother organization while Republicans contend for chairmanships and leadership posts. The week centers on plans to decide committee chairs, with Reed challenging GOP oligarchy and Taft Dewey supporters jockeying for House speakership. The Senate aims to form a unified Republican bloc, while Democrats prepare for minority leadership under Barkley. The political maneuvering ties to the 1948 presidential race and the fate of major legislative agenda.
