By WALTER BREEDE Jr. NEW' YORK Bigger fac tory payrolls in the months ahead plenty of jobs this summer. That was probably the most sig nificant of the many forecasts heard this week on the near-term outlook for the nation's business. Jumsing-otf point for rosy pie dictions about summer employ ment prospects was the govern ment's latest report on output of U.s. lactones and mines. The yardstick was the Federal Reserve Board's index of indus trial production. After allowing for seasonal factors, the index for May stood at 138 per cent of the 1947-49 average an all-time high. And, economists said, it should soon go higher. Best news about summer jobs was provided by a U.S. Labor lie partment survey. It showed lhat companies in 75 per cent of the nation's major employment areas will need more workers by mid July. Biggest increase in hiring, of course, will be in such seasonal lines as farming and construction. But producers of steel and manu facturers of electrical machinery wit be adding workers loo. Lay offs in the auto industry should be slight despite production cut backs. Signs of a rising business trend were evident all along the line, Soft coal production was the hieh est in eight months; electric power output me second highest in his tory. With freight carloadings up is per cent irom a year ago, rail roads said they were planning to place "substantial orders" for new cars lo replace Worn out equip ment. Consumer .confidence was buoved up by wage settlements in the auto industry (General Motors signed "rord model" contract providing for company-financed layoff pay) and by prospects for labor peace in other basic lines. Merchants said shoppers are more willing to take on installment debts than they were a year ago, and they're paying their bills more promptly J.

Vast new markets for automobiles, washing machines and other durable goods bought "on time" were envisioned by President Arthur O. Dietz of C.I.T. Financial Corp.

But the cost of doing busi ness would be higher, too. In ad dition to paying higher wages, many manufacturers could look forward to paying higher prices for tuch basic materials as alumi num, copper, rubber, zinc and steel. Communism Out In Guatemala GUATEMALA P One year ago Guatemala was a Red Blot on the face of Central America, and; communism was spreading lo its neighbors. Today, although the government and some groups keep harping on fighting communism to death, and just ahout everybody, stresses "anticommunism," the Reds are gone. Communism in Central Ameri ca, in the opinion of many ob servers, is no longer a serjous fac tor It stays barely alive in Hon duras, under wraps, and it's rest ing on its sickles in the other Central American states. The man who erased it in Gua temala, with a timely and deter mined push from Honduras, is President Carols Castillo Armas.

Thou sands of others are employed in remnnufactur ing wood into an increasing variety of products. Steady employment in the forest industry is a result of tha steady sale of it product. Successful marketing brings a constant flow of money into this area that reaches out in ever-expanding circles ... money spent for ser vices, food, clothing, homes, automobiles, and taxes which support schools and government functions. All told, the forest industry is ths foundation for more than half of the economy of Oregon and Washington. WW'' wmftHAEUSfR i i.iu.iMlin-" 4-SOUAfiE . To maintain its sales volume in the face of competition from other building materials, the forest products industry uses a variety of mod ern marketing techniques. While members of the industry naturally concentrate on the sale of their own brand names, they also cooperate to help build better markets for forest products as a whole. A good example of the effectiveness of industry cooperation is demonstrated by activities of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association. Through the association, plywood plants in Washington and Oregon work together to encourage the demand for all brands of Douglas fir plywood. The association extensively advertises the advantages of fir ' plywood as a building material to architects, builders and consumers. Technical literature and plans are also issued in volume to show tha proper application and finishing of the plywood... as well as its variety of uses. Displays and other selling aids are prepared for lumber whole salers, dealers, and salesmen. Such cooperative activities are typical of many through which tha forest products industry combats ever-increasing competition. They help maintain the sales volume which supports so many jobs and so much community income in the Pacific Northwest.
