Wall Street Getting Variations From '56 Forecast Pattern By ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor I New York rtpi Wall Street ; which knows well the work ; ing of the old adage, "When i the financial district is unan imous in any thing, it usu ally is wrong" has been cry ing for some forecasts that v 4 , j mignt vary a vVV J"bit from the almost unan imous pattern set at the end Llmer Walierj 0f 1956. It is getting some of these variations right now. Some are much more bullish than the year-enders and some are more bearish. The most bullish one that has come to light since 1958 was born is issued by Stand ard and Poor's in its current "Outlook." Standard list's fac tors in the Outlook which concludes: "Weighing these counter acting forces, we are inclined to modify the commonly ac cepted view that general bus iness will decline steadily in I i i r Quake Levels Homes in Peru Arequipa, Peru (IP) Vio lent earthquakes Wednesday rocked a 375-mile strip of Peru's southern mountains, killing at least 21 persons and injuring 90, authorities here reported today. Earth shocks were report ed from the mountain city of Nazca in the north to villages in the Chilean border area of southern Peru. The epicenter of the quake was at Mejia, a village about 60 miles southwest of Are quipa. Casualties and damage were especially heavy in this j city, Peru's second largest. Official sources reported 21 dead, but the toll is expected to mount as reports trickle in from areas isolated by the quakes. Fully 70 per cent of the buildings in Arequipa suf fered some damage, and many structures in the "white city" district, which predates the Spanish conquest, were re duced to dust and rubble. The quake snarled tele phone and power wires and ruptured water pipes, leaving Arequipa's 200,000 people without water at the height of the South American sum mer. City authorities estimat ed that it will take three to five days to restore the regu lar water supply. Thousands of Arequipans slept in the open Wednesday night despite the chill that falls even in summer at this city's altitude of nearly 8,000 feet above sea level. Some were afraid to sleep in their homes and others had no homes to sleep in.

For tha Budget Travelers Single With Bath $4.00 Low Double Rate ic New Family Rate Plan American Hotel Association Credit Cards Honored Larger Colleges Held Necessary Portland - (IP) Francis Nickerson, executive secre tary of the Oregon System of Higher Education, told Port land school directors and sup ervisors Wednesday that the size of state colleges and the university would have to be doubled in the next 10 years unless admissions are restricted. Nickerson declared that "if the people of the state decide that all students are to be al lowed to attend college, we must within the next decade double the size of every col lege and university campus." He listed two alternatives: Admit high school graduates on a first come, first serve basis, or raise standards for college entrance. He said "studies show that if a high school student has less than a C average, he has less than one chance in 100 of surviving more than 13 weeks in college." A C aver age standard was recently adopted by the state system for admissions. Nickerson reported there had already been an in creased interest on the part of students in academic sub jects since the higher admis sion standard was adopted. School counsellors also re ported it gave them a strong er hand in student guidance. Police Instructors Given 'Refresher' Salem OP A "refresher" course to State Police training instructors on how to handle persons under arrest was be ing given here today. H. G.Maison, State Police su perintendent, said the course for regional instructors was of a routine nature. However, he said it would stress pre cautions regarding handling of those stopped in cars on the highways. Last week two escapees took two State Police cars in eastern Oregon before being captured east of Baker after a long chase. Maison said only those offi cers who instruct troopers in their district were attending the refresher course. the first half of 1958. stabilize in the third quarter, and then advance in the final three months. Recession Due? "Instead it could well be that the deep phase of the recession, which already has been under way for more than a year, might be reached as early as the current quar ter." On the other side of the picture is a statement by Peter L. Bernstein of the in vestment counseling firm of Bernstein-Macaulay, Inc., that "The spending urge by busi ness men as well as consum ers is over." He sees continuation of the downtrend through 1958 and he fails "to see any reason for potential buyers to bid up the prices of stocks, particularly the blue chips." Further Evidence He says there is further evi dence that consumer spending may show less vitality in the near future. Summing up, Bernstein said: "I have painted a - picture of an economy with a great deal of slack, its various mem bers a little too well fed, quite satiated, and a little tired. It's been a wonderful party, but we'd like to take a little time off and clear our heads. Perhaps our tastes are changing toward sobriety." He concluded with the statement he'd be much more bearish and gloomy "if the Russians had not done us the good turn of dramatically making us aware of our re sponsibilities just at a time when economically at least we are most willing to as sume them. '"It may be that thrift will become fashionable again, and with it we may have a higher level of moral values." Governor Race To Be Vigorous Portland ftPl Oregon was assured today of vigorous campaigns for both the Re publican and Democratic nominations for governor in the May primary, which is only four months away.
