NEW YORK 11 Business, which smashed all records in .955, slowed its breakneck pace this week. But there were signs that America's greatest boom would be rolling in high gear again by springtime. Most striking evidence of re trenchment this week was in the auto and construction industries. There was hesitation, too, in Wall Street. The stock market exper ienced its sharpest fall since Pr;si dent Eisnhower's heart attack. Other key lines, however, hummed at a fast clip. Steel' boasted a new weekly production high of 2,428.000 tons. Production and refining of crude oil held close to peak levels; manufacturers of furniture and home appliances stepped on the gas. For a psychological shot in the arm, industry unfolded plans for record expansion programs which added up to a new multibiUion dollar ' bet on good times ahead. In the center of the spotlight was big General Motors Corp., which will plunk down one billion dol lars for machinery and other new lacuities in 1956. The steel industry backed ud its belief in continued prosperity with plans for a three-billion-dollar ex pansion that will add IS million tons of new steelmaking capacity ty the end of 1958. It s the biggest expansion the steel industry has ever undertaken in peacetime, Also indicating confidence in the future was President Eisenhow er's budget message. In the fiscal year starting July 1. he estimated Uncle Sam's tax take should total 66 one third billion 'dollars a gain of 1 billions over the current fis cal year. If the estimate correct, wages, salaries and prof its will have to Co hieher ton. h cause that's where most of taxes come from. Here's how the general pattern of business in 1956 shaped up this week: auto sales and home con struction will be down from fast year's peaks, but rising activity in other lines will more than take up the slack. The upward trend of General business showed up on steel pro oucers oooks tnis week, cutbacks in the auto industry notwithstand ing. Fighting for all the steel thev could get were such big users as nome appliance makers, freight car builders, and producera of oil and natural gas. Outstanding 1 --0- Jewel T.

Leadership of Ike Receives Dewey Praise BALTIMORE UTt Thomas E. Dewy pictured President Eisen hower and the pational administra tion last night as a "leader and a government who issue no Invita tions to war by creating power vacuums. Dewey, former governor of New York who was the Republican pre sidential candidate in 1944 and 1948, said "the aggressor knows, at last, that if he starts a con- quest he will be opposed by over- wneiming lorce. Addressing a tlOO-a-plate "Sal. ute to Eisenhower" dinner in Bal timore, Dewey said .this has been 'the great change" since Presi dent Eisenhower entrd the White House three years ago. Dictators, he said in a televised speech, "do not embark on wars unless they expect to win." "If they know they will be op posed by overwhelming force, they ao not risk their necks In aggres sion," he said. That Is why the Soviets now sing of peace, of trade, of peace ful coexistence. The political weakness of America as a leader of the free world has come to an end." . In the same vein, Dewey1 fired an answering salvo to recent critics of John Foster Dulles' "brink of war" statements.- "At this moment we are reading violent speeches by some who seem determined to' destroy the unity of our bipartisan forign pol icy," he said; - "There are some eager candi dates who would like to isolate and attack a word or a phrase attrib uted to the secretary of state to divert attention from the peace and prosperity our nation is en joying. . "I am sure you have been pro foundly Impressed, as I have, by the sudden flowering on the front pages of this crop of experts In foreign affairs of whose ex perience in that area we had not previously been aware. I am sad to report to you that closer examination will reveal that their expertness lies in the parsing of sentences and not in saving the peace of the world." Dewey was asked after his speech how he felt about reports lie might be a candidate for either of the two top spots on the 1956 Re publican presidential ticket. "Why, that's just nonsense," he replied. . . , ' " Boy And Girl of Month MMMsHsMsWHM -sJW' . . : . .v, ;. f : ,. -v.. ; 4 KTivrnNRnh Trahan. left, has been named Boy of the Month at Stayton high school.

Schrunk, sheriff of Multnomah County, indicated here Friday night that he probably will choose to run for mayor of Port land rather than secretary of state. bchrunk was here as one of the speakers at a meeting of the Marion-Polk Democratic Club, which he urged to be careful in selecting candidates for office at the local level. "Horse sense" is needed in politics, he said. - Schrunk said he probably would be a candidate either for Portland mayor or secretary of state, and that campaign and family finances would have an influence on- his decision. He indicated that the ' mayoralty was more probable. He did not say whether the an nounced candidacy of Monroe Sweetland, another Democrat, would influence his choice of the two offices.
