Unique features of the car are a one-piece plexi glass windshield, solonoid-operated door latches, built-in snack bar and airplane type bucket seats that are covered with white and gold pleated upholstery to match the rest of the interior. Gault re-designed the front and rear bumpers and grill and added side-mounted chrome exhausts and hood vents.

SHORTAL United Press Financial Writer New York 0P When will the recession end? The next two months may supply the answer. . Government officials and businesmen offered a number of target dates for the end of the slump, ranging from one month to early in 1959. Industry historically goes through a seasonal decline around this time of year fol lowed by an upswing in the spring. Whether industry flexes its muscles with the coming of warm weather de pends on whether John Q. Public loosens the purse strings he tightened so abrupt- ly a few months ago. Keep ,an eye on used car sales, which usually expand with the approach of vacation time. They -will be an import ant clue to what is happening and will happen. Unemployment Increases Unemployment now stands at 4,500,000 highest since February 1950 and the total is expected to go up be fore it comes down. There were a number of scattered layoffs reported this week. The Chesapeake & Ohio Rail way said it will lay off 1,000 men by Feb. 24. Ford will close its Dearborn, Mich., as sembly plant temporarily next week, affecting about 4,000 workers. However, economist A. W. Zelomek said this week that the peak in unemployment will be reached in the first quarter or early in the sec ond quarter of the year. He also predicted the decline in unemployment in the second half of 1958 will be slower than when the nation came out of the recessions of 1949 and 1954. Dr. Marcus Nadler, consult ing economist to the Hanover Bank, said he expects the re cession will be over by the end of 1958, followed by a period of relative stability and then a new rise. He blamed the recession on temporary factors such as the reduction in inventories and the desire of individuals to save more and spend less, and on most lasting factors such as the decline in capital ex penditures and the reduction in exports. Corporalioni Slash Spending Prentice Hall noted that many big corporations ate slashing their capital expendi tures much more than pre viously planned, one of the factors working to "deepen the recession." President Eisenhower, . con cerned over the economic pic ture, said this week the gov ernment stands ready to take Ex-President Has Armed Visitor Independence, Mo. (IP) A former hospital executive armed with a pistol tried for half an hour Saturday to gain access to the home of former President Harry Truman be fore he was arrested shortly afterward on the Truman li brary "grounds. The man, who identified himself as Richard Paul Goff, 33, Altoona, Pa., denied he had any intention of harming the former president or his family, saying he merely wanted to enlist Truman's help in getting a job. Goff, former personnel di rector atFlick Tuberculosis hospital in Pennsylvania, was charged with carrying a con cealed weapon and was held in lieu of $1,500 bond follow ing arraignment in magis trate's court. Preliminary hearing was set for Feb. 18 Truman said he was "sure" Goff was the same man who spoke to him briefly as he left the library yesterday for luncheon. Police quoted Goff as say ing the former president's attitude was antagonistic. whatever steps are needed to reverse the trend. He said March will see 'the beginning of the end" of the recession. Although he didn't mention it specifically, a tax cut is one of the weapons the govern ment can use to inject new life into the economy. Sentiment for a tax cut mounted in Congress among both parties. It now appears a certainty that taxes will be cut by mid-year if the eco nomy hasn't snapped back by then.
