Economic Trends Vary as Auto and Housing Stall
A late 1940s economic snapshot shows mixed signals with stock markets cooling while steel output nears yearly highs. Auto production has slowed, home building remains stagnant, but defense orders and consumer goods production push overall industrial activity higher. James Meredith plans Harlem bid for a state constitutional convention delegate seat, challenging Powell backing.
