A cutback in automobile out put, report of a 16 per cent drop in housing in 1956, and doubts cast on the ability of oil com panies to sustain recent price in creases after Suez Canal traffic is restored worked against the market.

(U.R) New York state's conservation depart ment hopes to bring back to glory and fame that once attend ed the world-renowned Mt. Van Hoevenberg bobsled run high in the Adirondack mountains. Commissioner Sharon Mauhs said the bob run has "too long been the orphan" of the depart ment. He has hopes that with sufficient promotion and pub licity that run can recapture the flavor that attended it during past Olympic games. Located just outside the win ter sports mecca of Lake Placid, the famed bob run was construct ed in 1932 for the Olympic games of that year. Many a native of the area will tell you that little has been done since then to keep the run a major attraction of the state. Now the department is consid ering the possibility of installing a chairlift near the run to be used in summer as well as winter by spectators who want to In spect the speedway. Proponents of the ' plan to build up the area argue that more money should be spent, j Ben Becker of Albany, a former ! president of the Amateur Ath-: Ietic Union, said the reason : Squaw Valley had received the i 1960 winter Olympics was be cause of monetary guarantees made by the state of California, j He also argued that 60 per j cent of those attending Vermont and nearby resorts in other stages j are from New York. Becker told j the commissioner that it was his j thought that New York does riot ; spend enough money on the run : to operate it properly. Mauhs said he has started the : ball rolling to rehabilitate the j bob run bv purchasing two sleds i from an Italian maker. He added . that he believes some changes j should be made in fees charged at the bob run. 1sFV "TBS! ssW : - MA MEETING AT A STATE FUNCTION in Warsaw are Red China's premier Chou En-lai, left, Wladyslaw Gomulka, center, head of the Folish Communist party, and A.
