Business On Upgrade in First Quarter WASHINGTON tfl Business Was on the upgrade during the first three months of this year, frith personal income, sales and fmployment all at high levels, j The Commerce Department's (uarterly "Survey of Current Bus iness" was made public yesterday, nd it gave this picture: P Personal income Reached an annual rate of 33714 billion dol lars in March, up four billions from the last quarter of 1956 and up 19 billions .from March a year ago. Sales On seasonably adjusted basis, manufacturing and trade sales totaled 56Vi billion dollars In both January end February a rise of one billion dollars over the final quarter of last year. A light drop in retail sales was re ported during March. Employment Hit a new high for March last month. Nonfarm employment was bigger by about one million than the figure a year go. The report also said wages were rising and that consumer spend ing rose to a new record rate. This led to a sharp drop in the rate at which business inventories were accumulating. Pay and Price Controls Eyed By O'Mahoney WASHINGTON Ifl Sen. 0' Mahoney (D-Wyo.) said Thurs day Congress may have to con sider temporary wage-price con trols unless President Eisenhow er's administration finds some other solution for inflation. . . O'Mahoney told a reporter that as long as "the administration is unwilling to do anything about this inflationary spiral we're hav ing, the cost of living is going to keep on going up." His comments were prompted by new government data Tuesday showing that living costs rose again in March to a new record level for the seventh straight month. The government's index for March, at 118.9 per cent of the 1947-49 base period, was 37 per cent higher than a year ear lier. O'Mahoney, a member of the Senate-House Economic Commit tee, said the administration's "tight money"- policies, imposed by the Federal Reserve Board in the form of high interest rates, have been ineffective in curbing inflation. It has only meant, he said, that citizens have to pay more for money they borrow and greater taxes for interest on the government debt. Califomiaiis Buy McCartie Ranch In Klamath Area BONANZA, Ore.
