A study of sup
ply and de
mand for long
timer waiter term funds
put the surplus figure at a
half billion dollars.
That amount is a-small one,
but it is a contrast with a
deficiency of capital for 1957
of S2.5 billion.
While there will be some
periods of strain in the money
market during the year, the
firm notes that 1958 as a
whole appears to be one that
is generally favorable for the
borrowers of long-term capi
tal.
"The record shows," the
firm says, "that there is us
ually a lag in the. effect that
changes in the economy have
on the securities' markets, as
. well as to a certain extent on
current Federal Reserve mon
etary policy.
Money Ease To Continue
"It seems probable, for this
reason, that even should the
downward course in business
activity be halted or reversed
In mid-year, the ease in the
money markets will continue
at least a few months there
after. "The present prospect is
that in 1958 interest rates will
move lower in the months
ahead, and although they may
stabilize later; it is improb
able that they will advance
significantly."
The surplus calculated by
the firm assumes there will
be no vital change in the in
ternational picture, or any
drastic political change such
as an important tax reduction
or legislation boosting the
volume of privately financed
housing.
The survey was prepared
by Girard L. Spencer, a part
ner in the firm. He estimates
supply of long-term funds at
$21.9 billion and the demand
at $21.4 billion. '
Sources Listed '
The supply will come from
trje following, according to
the survey: Life insurance
companies, $4.6 billion; mu
tual savings banks, $1.8 bil
lion; savings and loan associa
tion, $4.9 billion; private pen
sion funds, $2.8 billion; state
and municipal retirement and
pension funds. $1.6 billion;
fire and casualty companies,
$1.0 billion; and other long
term funds, S5.2 billion.
Demand is listed as follows:
Mortgage financing $10.2 bil
lion; state, municipal and pub
lic revenue authority financ
ing $3.4 billion; and corporate
financing, $7.8 billion.
The survey omits financing
activities of the U.S. Treasury,
but notes they will play a
largen role in the capital mar
kets in 1958. The Treasury
is expected to revamp as well
as to extend the maturity of
u sizable portion of its market
able debt, aided in part in
this activity by a rise in the
debt limit which will remain
in effect until June 30, 1959.

Portland Council
Plans Study of
Bus Fare Boost
Portland W The Port
land City Council planned to
study the matter of a pro
posed boost in Portland street
bus fares from 20 cents to 25
cents a ride at its regular
meeting Joday.
City Commissioner Ormond
R. Bean so far has objected
to the, emergency clause
which would put the fare in
creases into immediate effect.
Such an emergency clause
must have unanimous council
approval. Should the council
approve the fare boost by a
majority vote, without the
emergency clause, the in
crease, would go into effect
March 8.
Rose City Transit company
officials .have said they plan
ned to halt bus service Feb.
28 unless the council let them
raise, their fares' sooner.
Conference Held
A two-hour conference was
held in Mayor Terry D.
Scbrunk's office late Wednes
day between council members
and State Public Utility Com
missioner Howard Morgan.
Schrunk said he had called
the meeting to "work out"
complications resulting from
Morgan's assertion that he
had veto power over city tran
sit, fare increases. Portland
City Attorney Alexander G.
Brown told Morgan he "flatly
disagreed" with an opinion
by the attorney general that
Morgan had veto power over
bus fares in Portland. Mor
gan replied that he would
not "precipitate a more or less
artificial squabble" between
the city and his office by try
ing to attack the fare raise
in courts.
A group of 30 businessmen
went to the city hall late
Wednesday and asked Bean
to reconsider rather than risk
an end to bus service here.
waiting in a hangar, officials
said, in case changes are
needed, ' before it is moved
to the launching pad, to cor
rect the trouble which plagued
the last rocket.
The Navy rocketmen still
seemed confident their 72-foot
projectile could launch a sat
ellite to match the Army's
Jupiter-C, which sent Explor
er into orbit around the earth
on Friday night.
Statement Issued
A Navy statement said:
"Our telemetry records
show that between the 57th
and 60th second after takeoff,
small . irregularities occurred
in the first stage engine con
trol system. After the 60th
second a failure in the con
trol ystem caused the engine
to deflect far to the right and
the resultant abnormally high
forces ' caused the rocket to
break in the middle."
This meant that the first
stage engine, which is gim
baled mounted on swivels so
it can turn the rocket in the
fashion of an outboard motor
deflected the jet thrust
suddenly and put the Van
guard into more of a turn
than it could take. It broke
like a toothpick.
The announcement indicat
ed it was not the guidance
system that failed, but one
of the mechanical or electri
cal components of the gimbal
ing system.. The rocket was
then exploded by the range
safety officer.
Divers sought to recover

AMERICAN MOON Technicians at Cape Canaveral, Fla,
set the Explorer, America's first satellite, atop the Army's
Jupiter-C rocket which lofted the baby moon into an orbit
