CONOMIC activity in June continued the moderate riseof the previous months, aside from the effects of the workstoppage in the steel industry. Continued advances indefense production and a moderate pickup in retail tradecontributed to the strength in total activity.
Most durable goods sectors of retail trade have experiencedsome improvement, with the strongest showing in Mayregistered by the automotive group where sales were morethan one-fifth above the first quarter rate, seasonally ad-justed. Nondurable goods stores have also shown increases;department stores and the food group were up more thanseasonally. It is of interest to note that from December1951 to May 1952 retail sales increased by 6 percent, season-ally adjusted, while personal income was about the same.This development is in contrast to the experience of the lasthalf of 1951 when retail sales showed a smaller increasealthough personal income rose during the period.
Activity in most other important sectors has been main-tained at a high rate. Civilian employment in June advancedseasonally to a total of 62.6 million, about three quarters ofa million above June of last year. Moderate expansion ofmost types of construction activity took place during June,with new construction totaling almost $3 billion, or 6 per-cent above June 1951. Private outlays of $1.9 billion inJune were about the same as a year ago, while public con-struction expenditures of nearly $1.1 billion were 23 percentlarger than in June 1951. New orders received by manu-facturers of durable goods dropped somewhat in May fromApril; unfilled order backlogs, although somewhat lower,were still unusually high.
$120 billion defense funds available for spendingIn recent Congressional action, the Defense Department
received $44 billion of new obligational authority for militarypurposes for the present fiscal year, about $4 billion belowthe amount requested by the President last January. Thisnew authority, plus the carryover of unobligated funds fromprior years, will enable the Defense Department to placeabout $52 billion of new orders for goods and services duringthe fiscal year 1953. On the basis of current schedules,defense new order placements during the next 12 months forprocurement of hard and soft goods and new construction(including the Defense Department, foreign military aid,atomic energy, and stockpiling) are expected to exceed $40billion, including placement from unobligated balances ofprior-year funds which remain available for use this year.
The new obligational authority embodied in the various1953 ^appropriation acts—plus an estimated $64 billion re-maining either unobligated from prior-year appropriationsfor national defense or committed but not yet spent—providefor future defense spending of nearly $120 billion. On thebasis of these available funds and present schedules for pro-
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS July 1952
duction of military equipment, a significant rise in defensespending is indicated for the present fiscal year over theapproximately $43 billion spent during fiscal year 1952. Asa result, despite some increase in budget receipts due to ahigher level of business activity, the Federal Government isexpected to realize a budget deficit at the close of fiscal year1953 considerably larger than the $4 billion excess of expend-itures over receipts for fiscal year 1952.
Defense Production Act amended
To ensure an increasing flow of materials for military pro-duction, Congress continued the authority to grant prioritiesand allocations of scarce materials until June 30, 1953, in theextension of the Defense Production Act of 1950.
The new law incorporated several important amendments.Price and wage controls are continued until April 30, 1953.Federal rent controls will be maintained until September 30,1952, and until April 30, 1953, in areas where local govern-ments take specific action to extend them. The authorityto impose consumer credit controls under the Defense Pro-duction Act is revoked.
Residential credit controls are to be relaxed following a3-month period when in each month the seasonally adjustedstarts of permanent nonfarm dwelling units fall below theannual rate of 1,200,000. In such a period of credit relaxa-tion no residential credit control could require down pay-ments in excess of 5 percent of the transaction price. Forthe first 5 months of this year only in February did the num-ber of starts exceed the annual rate of 1.2 million, on aseasonally adjusted basis.
Trends of output mixedIndustrial production in the first half of 1952 has been
sustained at about the same rate as in 1951. Strong diver-gent trends still dominate the production pattern. Outputof defense and related products continued to advancethroughout the first half of 1952, although at a slower ratethan in 1951. On the other hand, total production of con-sumer durable goods, which declined drastically through thesecond and third quarters of 1951, has remained relativelystable at a level averaging about one-fourth below thevolume of the first half of 1951, and about two-fifths belowthe peak rate reached in the last half of 1950. In consumersoft goods lines, the declines in output while widespreadwere much less pronounced than those for consumer hardgoods. In only a few consumer industries were increases inproduction shown.
The work stoppage in the steel industry had little effect onmanufacturing operations of steel-consuming industries inJune. With the maintenance of high operations in manyplants, steel inventories were drawn down. In the automo-bile industry—the largest single consumer of finished steelproducts—operations through June held at about the Mayrate, but completions in July will be affected not only by thesteel situation but also by plant shutdowns due to summervacations.
The divergent production trends shown in the chart for21 important manufactured products are typical of the totalpattern. Production increases in the first half of 1952 ascompared with the same period a year ago are shown for 9of the 21 products. These increases were concentratedin industries producing goods for direct defense and fordefense-supporting purposes. The largest gains, over 100percent, were recorded for aircraft and ordnance and ac-cessories, followed by shipbuilding which was up more thanone-third.
The rise in output of producers' equipment althoughsubstantial was much more moderate, and reflects, ofcourse, the expansion in private business outlays for new
plant and equipment largely generated by the defenseprogram, and for special machinery used directly in theproduction of war materiel. Backlogs in this industry arestill large—equivalent to 6 months' shipments at the Mayrate. In the machine tool industry alone, unfilled ordersrepresent more than a year's work at the current rate ofoutput.
In the railroad transportation equipment industry,production in the first half of 1952 was subject to NPAlimitation controls. Nevertheless, plant activity was at arelatively high rate, with output of both freight cars andlocomotives in line with the quotas fixed by NPA.
Steel output falls off
The decline in production of steel ingots was due solely towork stoppages at steel mills. Two brief work interruptionsin April and May had reduced operations to less than 90percent of rated capacity in effect on January 1, 1952,after a record first quarter when output was at an annualrate of 109 million tons, or 1 percent in excess of capacity.On June 2, steel mills again closed down because of a labormanagement dispute, and this stoppage—which affectedabout 88 percent of the industry—continued throughoutthe month. As a result, the scheduled weekly rate fell to12 percent of capacity, the lowest since the industry-widestoppage in 1949. Despite the loss of production, outputduring the January-June period totaled 45 million tons, orabout as high as in the first 6 months of 1950.
Large decline in consumer durable goods
The drop in the production of consumer durable goods,as the chart shows, has been exceptionally sharp, with radioand television sets showing an extreme reduction of nearlytwo-fifths. While total output of major consumer durablegoods has held relatively steady since mid-1951, the move-ments within that group have shown considerable variation.Assemblies of passenger cars have moved steadily upwardfollowing the completion of the model change-over season atthe turn of the year but output of household durables hasshown an irregular downward trend, owing mainly to thedecline in major appliances and radios and television sets inthe more recent months.
Larger supplies of metals boosted completions of passengercars from somewhat less than 1 million in the first quarterto nearly 1.2 million in the April-June period. Productionin the first half of the year therefore amounted to an annualrate of 4.4 million passenger cars.
Despite the moderate pickup in consumer demand inrecent months for household equipment, output in April andMay fell to the lowest point since the third quarter of 1951.All major lines contributed to the decline, with radios, tele-vision sets and refrigerators showing the largest relativedrops. A recovery in output of radios and television setsfrom the low point reached in August 1951 has been partlyoffset by declines which began this February, with output inApril and May more than one-fourth below January—al-though it was still about one-fourth above August 1951.
For the nondurable goods segment as a whole, output inthe first half of 1952 was about 7 percent below the sameperiod a year ago. Large decreases in a number of importantindustries—textiles, clothing, paper, and alcoholic beverages—offset the moderate increases shown for other sectors—rubber tires, motor fuel, and cigarettes. The large drop infiber consumption—raw cotton and wool and rayon—is re-flected in the reduced activity in clothing shops producingmen's suits and women's dresses. In other consumer linessuch as food, shoes, and newspapers, output showed little 01no change.
July 1952 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Workers' Hourly Earnings in ManufacturingContinue Upward
January 25, 1951, when the general price andwage controls were imposed, factory workers7 hourly earn-ings have continued to rise but at a slower rate than previously.Thus, where as in the 16 months prior to January 1951,manufacturing average hourly earnings rose 10.5 percent,in the 16-month interval between January 1951 and May1952 they rose 6.6 percent. In May 1952 the average hourlyearnings for all manufacturing production workers were$1.658.
The average hourly earnings data, obtained by dividingpay rolls by total man-hours, measure gross earnings. Theyreflect not only changes in basic hourly and incentive wagerates but also such other factors as premium pay for overtimeand late shift work, and changes in the output of workerspaid on an incentive basis. The average for a group of indus-tries is also affected by shifts in employment as betweenrelatively high-pay and low-pay industries and establish-ments.
Various reasons account for the slower growth of factoryhourly earnings in the recent period as compared with theearlier one. Controls have exerted a retarding influence,both directly and indirectly, through the slower increase inthe cost of living. The slackening of demand has also beena factor, especially in the consumer goods industries. An-other moderating influence has been the shrinkage in thelength of the work week and the consequent decline in thepremium for overtime work.

that portion of the average pay attributable to overtime attime and one-half for more than 40 hours of work per week,

approximate straight time earnings. The spread betweengross and net hourly earnings as so computed varies depend-ing upon the amount of overtime worked. As shown intable 1, the amount of overtime increased substantiallybetween September 1949 and January 1951 as the workweek lengthened—to an average of 41 hours for all manu-facturing—in response to increased pressure for productionfollowing the outbreak of hostilities in Korea. Because ofthe marked urgency of the demand for defense materialsand producers' capital equipment, average hours workedper week increased more in the durable goods industries

than in the nondurables and hence overtime premium paycontributed a larger portion of total hourly earnings toworkers in the durable goods industries.
Since January last year, however, the average work weekhas shortened in most industries. In manufacturing as awhole the average hours worked per week was 40 in May1952 as compared with 41 in January 1951. The consequentdecline in premium pay for overtime has operated as a partialoffset to rising straight time pay and has been especiallymarked in the nondurable goods industries where the shrink-age in demand and hours worked per week has been mostpronounced.

industry groups fared differently, however, as shown in table2 where the industries are arrayed according to the amountof increase in current dollar earnings from 1949 to 1952.Apparel was the only major industry group in which the gainin current dollar hourly pay, although substantial, failed tokeep pace with the cost of living.
Hourly pay increases have varied considerably
Changes in factory workers' hourly earnings are influencedby many factors such as the relative demand for the product,importance of wage costs compared to other costs, relativeproductivity in output per man-hour, degree of unionization,and others. In view of the broad differences in these re-spects from industry to industry, it is not surprising that theincreases in the average hourly earnings received in individ-ual industry groups during the last 3 years have shownmarked variations.
As shown in table 2 and the chart, the increases rangedfrom 12 to 34 cents per hour or from 10 to 24 percent of therespective May 1949 average hourly base earnings. Theaverage for all manufacturing represented a rise of 26 centsper hour, or 18 percent of the May 1949 average hourly pay.
Of the 21 major industry groups, the hourly pay raises of16 were concentrated in the range between 18 and 28 centsper hour, or between 14 to 20 percent above May 1949.The industries with hourly earnings increases exceeding thatrange—professional and scientific instruments, ordnance andnonelectrical machinery—experienced above-average in-creases in the demand for their products over this periodchiefly because of their importance in defense activities.The industries with hourly pay increases near the bottom ofthe range or below it were chiefly consumer goods industriessuch as leather and textile products and apparel, where de-mand rose less than average between May 1949 and May1952 or—as in the case of leather products and apparel-actually dropped.

July 1902 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Incomes of Physicians? Dentists, and Lawyers, 1949—51
INCOMES of physicians, dentists, and lawyers continuedto rise in 1950 and 1951, according to the results of threerecent surveys conducted by the Office of Business Econom-ics as part of its national income work.
Following their relative stability from 1948 to 1949, theaverage (mean) net incomes of lawyers and dentists increasedabout 10 percent from 1949 to 1951. Physicians' incomesrose 13 percent over the period. In 1950, the average in-come of physicians maintained the same moderate increase,about 4 percent, as in the previous year, but in 1951 itadvanced markedly, by 9 percent.
These increases in professional incomes since 1949 shouldbe considered against the background of the general rise inmoney incomes and prices. From 1949 to 1951 there wereincreases of about 15 percent in both the over-all averageearnings of employees and proprietors and in the cost ofliving as measured by the Consumers' Price Index.
In 1951, the mean net income of lawyers ($9,375) exceededdentists' ($7,743) by close to 20 percent, as was the case in1949. The income of physicians in 1951 ($12,518) exceededthat of lawyers by one-third and that of dentists by three-fifths.
In the accompanying table, the income data for "all"practitioners represent a composite of the data for the "majorindependent" and "major salaried" groups. However, sincethe professions of medicine, dentistry, and law are predomi-nantly entrepreneurial, those engaged primarily in independ-ent practice dominate the over-all averages.
Thus, from 1949 to 1951 there was a 13 percent increasein the mean net income of both major independent physi-cians—from $11,858 to $13,378—and all physicians. Simi-larly, the 10 percent increase in the mean net income of allcategories of dentists combined reflected primarily the 10percent rise (from $7,168 to $7,856) in the income of thosedentists engaged in major independent practice. So too inthe field of law, where those engaged entirely or mainly inindependent practice upped their mean net income from$8,183 in 1949 to $8,936 in 1951—a 9 percent increase, as inthe case of all lawyers. Moreover, as can be seen from table3, for each profession the year-to-year movement in themean net income of major independent practitioners wasquite similar to that of all practitioners.
Net and gross income changes similarDuring the period under analysis, net income kept pace
with gross receipts for all three professions—an indicationthat changes in the business expenses of physicians, dentists,
and lawyers engaged in independent practice were in linewith those in gross receipts, and that the profit ratios of 1949were maintained. The 1949-51 increase of almost 12 per-cent in the mean gross receipts of major independent physi-cians corresponded closely to the 13 percent increase in theirnet income. Major independent dentists increased boththeir mean net and gross incomes by 10 percent, while law-yers in independent practice increased theirs by 9 percent.
The change in income for salaried physicians and lawyerswas not very different from that for independents. Physi-cians engaged in major salaried practice increased their meannet incomes at a slightly higher rate that did those engagedin major independent practice, both in 1950 and in 1951.For the two-year period, salaried physicians showed a totalincrease of 15 percent in their average net income, as com-pared with a 13 percent rise for those engaged in independentpractice.
Major salaried lawyers maintained an even rate of increasein their mean net income (a little better than 4 percent)from 1949 to 1950 and from 1950 to 1951, whereas the incomeof independent lawyers advanced 6 percent in 1950 but only3 percent in 1951. For the two-year period, however, themean net incomes of both independent and salaried lawyerswere up by 9 percent.
In the fields of law and medicine the proportion of sala-ried practitioners is considerably larger than in the field ofdentistry. (Approximately 35 percent of all lawyers and22 percent of physicians are engaged in major salariedpractice, in contrast to only 8 percent of dentists.) Thus,due to the comparatively small original sample, there weretoo few returns received from salaried practitioners in thedental survey to yield reliable data on salaried income fromdentistry.
Since nonsalaried practitioners comprise a very high pro-portion of those engaged in major independent practice, theincome movements for these two groups from 1949 to 1951were not significantly different. Similarly, since all-salariedpractitioners account for nearly all of the "major salaried,"the income changes shown in table 3 for these two categorieswere quite similar.
Long-term comparisonsAverage income data back to 1929 for these three profes-
sions are available only for nonsalaried practitioners. How-ever, since about two-thirds of all physicians and lawyers andnine-tenths of all dentists are nonsalaried, an examination

Incomes of physicians during the two decades after 1929 was the subject of the last full-scale survey of professionalincomes conducted by the Office of Business Economics. The results were summarized in 18 pages of the July 1951 issue ofthe SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.
The Journal qf the American Medical Association, in reviewing the findings, observed—-". . . this survey provides good bench-mark data on the incomes of physicians, a subject about which there has been a
considerable amount of highly speculative writing and speaking in recent years. Thus the entire medical profession has bene-fited by the willingness of 55,000 of its members to cooperate with the U. S. Department of Commerce in one of the periodicsurveys needed in the preparation of estimates of national income and personal consumer expenditures."
The July 1951 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS can still be obtained by sending 25 cents to the Superintendent of Docu-ments, U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C.

of the trend in income for this group has considerable signifi-cance for the profession as a whole.
As can be seen from table 4, over the entire period since1929 nonsalaried dentists have had the lowest average netincome of the three professions. Nonsalaried lawyers, onthe other hand, had a slightly higher mean net income thanphysicians engaged in nonsalaried practice up through 1940.Since that time, however, physicians have succeeded inincreasing their net incomes at a faster rate than havelawyers, and dentists as well. Physicians' mean net incomesince 1940 has been markedly higher than that of either law-yers or dentists.
Since 1929, physicians in nonsalaried practice have in-creased their mean net income by 157 percent, as comparedwith 83 percent for nonsalaried dentists and 58 percent fornonsalaried lawyers. For perspective, it may be notedthat the average earnings of all nonfarm entrepreneurs rose144 percent from 1929 to 1951.
Whereas long-term data covering all practitioners (notjust the nonsalaried group, as discussed above) are notavailable for lawyers and dentists, such information forphysicians indicates an increase of 136 percent in their over-all average net income from 1929 to 1951. This was closelyin line with the 141 percent increase in the average incomeof all earners in the general population (wage and salaryworkers together with farm and nonfarm entrepreneurs).
The data in table 4 also show that physicians have in-creased their gross and net incomes by about the same rate
since 1929, whereas both lawyers and dentists have experi-enced a larger over-all increase in gross income than in netincome.
Nature of Surveys
The data reported here are based on the results of threeinterim professional income surveys conducted by the Officeof Business Economics during the early spring of this year.The primary purpose of the surveys was to obtain an indexof the yearly change in professional incomes so that bench-mark data established from earlier large-scale professionalsurveys could be extended forward, thus deriving currentestimates for incorporation into the annual National Incomeseries of income of unincorporated enterprises and personalconsumption expenditures. The results of the most recentlarge-scale surveys of lawyers, dentists, and physicians—presenting a wide variety of detailed information not coveredin the interim surveys— were published in the August 1949,January 1950, and July 1951 issues of the SURVEY OFCURRENT BUSINESS, respectively.
Since these interim surveys are intended only to estimatethe percent change in average net and gross incomes for thecountry as a whole, from one year to the next, the samplesare small and few refinements in sampling techniques areemployed.
The data herein presented were gathered by means ofmail questionnaires sent to small cross sections of the medi-

2 The breakdown by form of practice is based upon source of income. When based uponmajor source of income "all" practitioners fall into two categories: "major independent"and "major salaried." Alternatively, they may be classified according to sole source ofincome: "nonsalaried," "part-salaried," "all-salaried." No data for "part-salaried," whichcomprises a relatively small proportion of all practitioners in these professions, are includedin the table because of the smallness of the sample.

1 Complete series of mean net and gross incomes of nonsalaried practitioners in each ofthese professions, for the period 1929-48, may be found in the following articles: "Income ofPhysicians, 1929-49," SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, July 1951, table 1, p. 11; "Income ofDentists, 1929-48," SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, January 1950, table 2, p. 9; and "Incomeof Lawyers, 1929-48," SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, August 1949, tables 1 and 2, pp. 18 and 19.
Source: U. S. Department of Commerce, Office of Business Economics.
Approximately 5,000 practitioners in each profession wererandomly selected to receive questionnaires. The sample ofphysicians was chosen from files maintained by the Ameri-can Medical Association of all living physicians in the UnitedStates. The list of lawyers was obtained through a sys-tematic sampling, by States, of the 1952 Martiiidale-HubbellLaw Directory. The dentists were sampled from the mem-bership file of the American Dental Association. In derivingthe 1950-51 estimates of dental income shown in the tables,it was assumed that the percentage change in the averageincome of dentists not members of the American DentalAssociation was the same as that of members.
The questionnaire forms were brief, asking only for grossincome, expenses, net entrepreneurial income, salaried in-come, and total professional net income for the years 1949,1950, and 1951. In addition, the legal questionnaires re-quested information from entrepreneurs on the number ofpartners and on the net income of the law firm.
A comparison of the 1949 mean net income from independ-ent practice as determined from the interim survey and thatas established by the bench-mark data—both for physiciansand lawyers—showed the difference between the two to bewell within the area of sampling fluctuation. Such a com-parison for dentists was not possible since the level of incomeof ADA members is known to be significantly higher thanthat of noiimembers.

National Income and Productof the United States, 1951
J_JETAILED national income and product statistics for the year 1951, together withrevised estimates for 1949 and 1950, are presented in the following pages. Revised quarterlyand monthly estimates for 1952 are shown on pages S-l and S-8 of this issue of the SURVEYOF CURRENT BUSINESS.
The estimates presented here supersede those published for 1949 and 1950 in the 1951National Income supplement to the SURVEY and for 1951 and 1952 in subsequent regularissues of the SURVEY.
The data for 1929-48 contained in the 1951 National Income supplement and those forlater periods given in this issue of the SURVEY together represent the entire set of nationalincome and product statistics published by the Office of Business Economics.
The present report is intended for use in conjunction with the 1951 National Incomesupplement. The numbering and stubs of the various tables correspond to those used inthe supplement. Footnotes, definitions, and the descriptions of concepts and sources andmethods have not been repeated. A list of errata in the National Income supplement is tobe found at the end of this report.
The revisions of the 1949-50 estimates were occasioned by new source materials thatbecame available during the past year. Important among these were the Bureau of InternalRevenue tabulations for 1949 of the income tax returns of corporations and sole proprietor-ships. Incorporation of these data was the chief factor in the revision of a number of theincome and product series, notably corporate profits, income of unincorporated nonfarmbusinesses, and nonfarm inventories.
Major new or revised sources also included estimates of the Bureau of AgriculturalEconomics relating to income and capital formation in farming; data on the flow of pro-ducers' durable equipment derived from the 1950 Annual Survey of Manufactures of theBureau of the Census and from the 1951 Reports oj Plant Operations Jor Metal Working In-dustries prepared by the Bureau of the Census for the National Production Authority;information on corporate profits in Wholesale and Retail Trade for 1950 and 1951 collectedjointly by the Securities and Exchange and Federal Trade Commissions; and sample surveysof the gross and net incomes of lawyers, physicians, and dentists for 1950 and 1951 by theOffice of Business Economics. The results of these sample surveys are summarized onpages 5-7 of this issue of the SURVEY.
Specific attention is called to the location in this report of the important table on"Gross National Product or Expenditure in Constant Dollars," together with the companiontable on "Implicit Price Deflators for Gross National Product by Major Segments.77 Inthe 1951 National Income supplement, these were presented in a special section (Part IV)relating to "Gross National Product in Constant Dollars." Here, as indicated by the liston the facing page, they appear in the series of annual tables, following table 39.

' Revised. » Preliminary. cf'Seenote marked "cf" on p. S-2.§The term "business" here includes only manufacturing and trade. Business inventories as shown on p. S-l cover data for all types of producers, both farm and nonfarm. Unadjusted
data for manufacturing are shown below on pp. S-3 and S-4; those for retail and wholesale trade, on pp. S-8, S-9, and S-10.t Revised series. All components of business sales, inventories, and orders have been revised; for appropriate explanations of changes and data through 1950 (except figures beginning 1948
for retail sales and beginning 1946 for the indicated orders series, which have been further revised and are available upon request), see pp. 15-24 of the October 1951 SURVEY. Manufacturers'sales, inventories, and orders (except as noted) have been revised beginning 1948, wholesale trade beginning 1939, and retail trade beginning 1940; moreover, the adoption of revised industry defi-nitions for manufacturing beginning with the 1948 data results in discontinuity of industry figures for earlier periods.
9 Data beginning December 1947 are shown on p. 7 of the March 1952 SURVEY.

r Revised. 1 Specification changed; earlier data not strictly comparable. 2 Data beginning January 1952 have been adjusted to conform to the 1952 revision of the export schedule.t Revisions for January-October 1950 are available upon request.
cfThe figures include a comparatively small number of "other footwear" which is not shown separately from shoes, sandals, etc., in the distribution by types of uppers; there are furthersmall differences between the sum of the figures and the totals for shoes, sandals, and play shoes, because the latter, and also the distribution by kinds, include small revisions not available bytypes of uppers.
§Excludes "special category" items.*New series. Data are compiled by the U. S, Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics,' monthly data prior to March 1951 (February 1951 for softwoods) will be shown later.

48r Revised.©Data beginning 1951 have been adjusted in accordance with the revised export schedule to exclude exports of tinplate, circles, strips, etc.§Data beginning January 1951 are estimated totals derived from a survey of approximately 1,300 establishments by the Bureau of Mines and the Bureau of the Census.f The Bureau of the Census estimated industry totals beginning May 1951 are based on reports from forge shops (shipping 50 tons or more per month) which account for over 95 percent of
all forgings produced. For May, shipments by the additional plants increased total shipments 13 percent; for total unfilled orders, the adjusted May figure is increased 27 percent and alsoincludes orders for the manufacturers' own use.
JFor 1952, percent of capacity is calculated on annual capacity as of January 1, 1952, of 108,587,670 tons of steel; 1951 data are based on capacity as of January 1, 1951, of 104,229,650 tons.cfRevised beginning in the April 1952 SURVEY to represent quotations per net ton.
