ONLT WBIRaT TOO B1 THIS) BLVLAND-ftED Production, Services Take Another Gigantic Stride; Stock Market Goes Higher By WALTER BREED! JR. I AP Business Newt Writer NEW YORK (AP) Business took another giant step along the comeback trail last week. Tolal production of goods and services roared along at an an-; nual clip of better than 440 billion : dollars. Government economists; said it should hit a record 450 bil-, lions by year-end. The previous high reached last summer before the recession : made itself felt was 44.Vi tail-, lions. Stepped up production of steel,1 copper, aluminum, zinc and lead contributed mightily to the econ-: omy's forward surge last week. So did consumer buying. The quicucned economic tempo gave the railroads a lift freight: carloadings touched a new 158 high for the fifth straight week. On the national economic level the fast pace of recovery showed up vividly in a brand new batch of government statistics: Heavy Gains Record 1. Personal income of Ameri-; cans climbed in September to a record annual rate of 357 1 -j billion dollars (adjusted for seasonal var-j iations). That's a gain of 11 bil lions since February'! recession I low. I 2. Output of U. S. mines and factories climbed to 137 per cent I of the 1947-49 average at a lime i September) when Detroit was up to its neck in labor strife and I model changeover and auto pro duction had slowed to a crawl. 3. Private housing starts in Sep tember soared to a seasonally ad justed annual rate of 1.220,000 foundations poured highest since October 1!55. Confidence ruled this week from main street to Wall Street and dispelled much of the gloom that had shrouded Automobile Row. It was very much in evidence, too, at the annual Hot Springs, Va., meeting of President Eisen hower's Business Advisory Coun cil, a group comprising the big gest names in U. S. industry, trade and finance. Consensus of the corporate elite: 1 lie recovery will continue to gain momentum if the new 1959 cars catch on. The stock market thundered to a series of new record highs in the heaviest trading in years. Bulls took a sharp hike in margin re quirements (from 70 to 90 per cent) in stride. Stock sales in the latest week totaled 24.402,570 shares compared to 19,104.940 shares in the previ ous week and 13.157,631 In the same week last year. CHH4 MfwIHO CO AW, C'", WASMNOtON. "OS, ION !

Retail Sales Soar Business in the nation's retail storet puked up briskly. Dollar volume of retail trade as meas ured by Dun & Bradstreet showed gains ranging from 4 to 8 per cent over a year ago. A new note of prosperity was in jected by General .Motors this week. After a lapse of one year, the big auto maker revived its glit tering Motorama A three-mil. lion-dollar extra vagan.a featuring Broadway showgirls, G.M's dream cars of the future, and the new Cadillacs, Buicks, Oldsmobiles, Pontiacs and Chevrolets for 1959. There was a good chance that many of the 7.900,000 Americans who bought new cars in 1955 would be ready to buy again now. GM dealers had one big com laint a shortage of cars. With local labor issues still pnresolved, G.M's 124 V. S. auto plantt have been shut down since Oct. 2. Boeing Excess Profits Hearing Opens In Seattle SEATTLE (API A hearing on a 10-million-dollar renegotiation suit involving excess profits for Boeing Airplane Ce. opened here Monday. It is the first .jf a series of suits in which makers of military air craft seek reduction of govern ment claims of excess profits. The government's Renegotiating Board held Boeing made 10 million too much on military contracts in 1952. The company refunded that amount but now contends the board erred. Boeing has two other cases pending, involving a profits deter mination of 7'-j million in 1953 and 10 million in 1954. Judge Graydoti G. Withey, Washington, D. C, a member of Ihe United States Tax Court, will conduct this hearing on the 1952 case only. If it wins the suit. Boeing would recover less than three million dol lars after federal excise taxes, a company attorney said. Similar suitt have been filed by other airplane manufacturers. They total 90 million dollars a government attorney taid. SOS ON TAP Sec. Dulles Terms Renewed Shelling Of Quemoy Tragedy E1KLSON' AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska (AP) Secretary of State; Dulles taid today that it was a tragedy that the Chinese Com-; munists have again displayed their "warlike disposition." Dulles made the statement while; aw aiting refueling of hit jet tanker j which is taking him to Formosa. The secretary told a newsman! he had just talked to President; Eisenhower in Denver and was in-1 formed of the Chinese Reds' re-j sumption of firing in the Formosa Strait area. i "I had embarked upon what I believed and hoped was a mission; I of peace," Dulles said. "I shall persist in that purpose." j Duties said both President Ei-i senhower and President Chiang' nai-sncK nad inougnt it useful lur him to go to Formosa for consulta tions when the Communists an nounced the cease-fire would be extended at least two more weeks. "It is obvious that if the Com munists resume their fighting to achieve their political goals, our consultations cannot have the same scope and character that would have been possible if there were a cease-fire. "Nevertheless. 1 believe that consultations can usefully be held," Dulles asserted. Dulles and his party left this Alaska Air Command base 26 miles south of Fairbanks for the nonstop flight across the Pacific to Formosa. The flight was ex pected to take about 11 hours. Australian Wool Selling i At 'j Of Boom Years i SYDNEY (AP) - Australian ; greasy wool is selling at around 1 46 Australian pence (43 cents) a 1 pound, the lowest Drice in a dec- ade. i The price at the wool auction : sales is less than one-third of the i average in the boom year 1950-51. ! It should mean cheaper woolen , clothes, but with greater use of I synthetics, wool is a smaller factor j in winter clothing costs. I Although wool is the greatest j source of Australia's overseas in- come the dramatic price fall of the past year has had little visible I effect. i The national council of wool I selling brokers reported the Sep ! tember average for greasy wool was 46:49 pence a pound (:43.36 cents). This was much the same as the average for April, May and June and wav down on the price of 72.90 ( 66 cents) for September a year ago. In recent months Japan has been chief buyer. Sneak Tornado Belts Tranquil Farming Town PAHOKEE, Fla. (AP) A sneak tornado belted this tranquil farm ing town Sunday with fury that left one dead, 16 injured and S400. 000 damage in splintered homes, equipment and communications.

Lecal & Lone Distance Household Moves ROSEBURG Phone OR 2-2671 Anti-Marxist Book May Win Writer's Prize STOCKHOLM (AP). An anti Marxist book by a Soviet writer, banned in Kussia "for lack of lit erary value," may be rewarded with this year's Nobel prize for literature. The writer who is reported to top the 1958 list of literary Nobel prize candidates is 68-year-old Boris Pasternak, who ttiU lives in Kussia The book is "Doctor Zhivago," a novel about a wealthy Russian doc tor and his trials through this cen tury's wars and revolutions. The 18 members of the Swedish Academy of Letters are to pick the winner of this year's $41,420 literary' prize next Thursday. The theme of Dr. Zhivago" is freedom, or rather the lack of it in the Soviet Union, and what this has done to 200 million people. To get the manuscript printed Pasternak had to give it to a friend who smuggled it out of Rus sia. The book first appeared in Italian in Italy last year, and ever since the Russians have tried to interfere with its publication else where. Scandinavian publishing houses, contemplating an editon of "Dr. Zhivago" were warned by the Russians not to publish the book "since we have decided not to pub lish it ourselves because it lacks literary value." One of these publishers said: "A Nobel prize for Pasternak might be too big a chunk for the Rus sians to swallow." The implication was that "Dr. Zhivago" might place Soviet Pre mier Khrushchev in a dilemma simlar to that of Adolf Hitler with regard to Nobel prizes. Hitler, in 1956, forbade all Germans to ac cept Nobel awards after concen tration camp prisoner Carl von Ossietzky. a Jew. was awarded the Nobel peace prize. 3 Drown, 1 Escapes In Upset Of Light Boat MINNEAPOLIS (AP) A young schoolteacher and two male com panions were swept to their death in the churning waters of the Mis sissippi when their light boat cap sized beneath a power dam Sun day.

Manufacturers' Sales Tax To Be His Recommendation To Congress, Weeks States HOT SPRINGS, Va. t - Secre tary of Commerce Weeks will urge the administration to include a manufacturers' sales tax in its rec ommendations to Congress in Jan uary. Weeks told this to reporters while meeting here with the nearly 100 top industrialists who make up the Commerce Department't Busi nest Advisory Council. He said he was speaking strictly for himself in advocating a broad, uniform excise lax levied at the factory. The recession has made it clear, Weeks said, that Ihe government is overly dependent on the income tax as its major source of reve nue. Much of this year's prospec tive 12 billion dollar deficit is traceable to the impact of the re cession on individual incomes. "It continually disturbs me that 80 per cent of the government's income comet from the income tax in one form or other." he said. "It is too vulnerable to the vicis situdes of the ecunomy." Would Speed Write-Off Weeks taid he alio would urge that business be permitted to write off more rapidly, in depreciation for tax purposes, its outlays for new plant and equipment.

Report Says Russ Tank Driver Flown Back From Britain LONDON" (AP) A young Red army tank driver who fled to the West is believed to have been se cretly flown back to the Soviet Un ion from Britain. The Soviet Embassy here as sured the Foreign Office 22-year-old Sgt. Anatoli Ponomarenko went back voluntarily. But Bussian emigre sources are convinced he was kidnaped by Red agents under the noses of Scotland Yard men detailed to guard htm. They believe he now has been ex ecuted. Ponomarenko had 70 days of freedom in Britain after quitting his unit in East Germany and es caping to West Berlin last Dec. 31. After his escape, his command ing officer accused him of mur dering a comrade and demanded his return. British authorities replied that the soldier's pistol had not been fired since it was made. He was granted political asylum. Helped Write Pamphlet Shortly after coming lo London, he helped write a pamphlet call ing on other Soviet soldiers to de sert. He spoke out on television and addressed an anti-Communist meeting. Early in March he disappeared from his hideout in northwest Lon don, leaving behind all hit per sonal belongings. Officials of the National Alliance of Russian Solidarists, an emigre movement dedicated to overthrow ing Russia's Communist regime, told Scotland Yard that just he fore Ponomarenko vanished, he became friendly with a middle aged Russian woman. The sergeant never was seen again. The Seviet Embassy told the British Foreign Office he vis ited the embassy and asked to re turn to the Soviet Union. Friends in the emigre organization said the idea is preposterous, that he "was clearly dedicated to our mission." A WORLD OF PLEASURE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY! Hurd't Flying A Service 1711 N.
