HIGH SHEEN The gleaming body of the
hand-styled semi-custom coupe, designed
by Jack Gault, Medford, is the result of
25 applications of lime green lacquer,
hand-rubbed between each coat. 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. The car has '56 Buick stripping,
'55 Chrysler tail lights and the general
styling of a '56 Oldsmobile, according to
Gault. Completed late Thursday, the car
was trucked to Oakland, Calif., Friday
morning for entry in the National Road
ster show.

beautiful roadster" and a $5,000 gold
trophy. Above, Gault, left, and Vern Mc

Next- Two Months Marked
As Recession Indicator
By ROBERT G. 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.

News About Books
From the Library
St,. Valentine's Day, just
past, gave us occasion to pause
in appreciation of the libra
ry's many generous and help
ful friends. Some have
broughts plants and flowers
to brighten our reading rooms
for you; others have come to
do a particular piece of hired
work and stayed to donate an
extra task or two that helps
us all; several departments of
the city and county govern
ment have given us friendly
assistance well above and be
yond the call of djity.
Friendly interest in the. li
brary has been demonstarted
in -many way indeed, but per
haps most notably in gener
ous donations of books. In
more than a quarter-century's
library work in large towns
and small, and in several
states, we feel that Jackson
county people break the re
cord for this kind of gener
osity. During the past twelve
months they have brought us
2,186 book gifts, increasing
by more than one-half the
number of volumes we should
otherwise have been able to
obtain for your enjoyment.
Not only have their gifts
been numerous; they have
been well-selected, frequently
in mint-new. condition, and
sometimes so fresh and time
ly that gift copies of popular
titles have been available for;
you before purchased copies
could be received from the
dealers.
While space does not permit
listing here the names" of all
those who donated books dur
ing the past year, we should
like to mention at least those
who made donations during
the past two weeks. These
were Carl Bjordahl, Mrs.
George C. Flanagan, Mrs.
Philip Berbert, Miss Dorothy
Oleson of Central Point, Mrs.
Clint Vroman, Arthur H.
Thompson, Miss Georgetta
Clel, Miss Enid Holmes, and
Mrs. Ruth Dodge now of Phoe
nix, Ariz. -
The titles of their gifts will
be listed in this column as
soon as they have been cata
logued and processed for li
brary circulation.
A total of 340 books were
catalogued and processed for
use during the past two weeks.
Of the total 117 new titles
were added to the children's
shelves, and 84 new titles
were placed on the adult
shelves, as follows:

Refusal Possible
For Texas Funds
Washington (IP) Senate
Republican Leader William
F. Knowland said Saturday
he believed that none of the
national GOP organizations
should or would accept the
controversial campaign funds
raised at a Texas dinner this
week. '
He was referring specifi
cally to the Republican sena
torial and congressional cam
paign committes which will
direct the GOP drive to re
gain control of the House and
Senate in the elections next
Nov. 4.
Knowland told reporters,
however, that he was not sug
gesting that the party reject
future contributions from
Texas Republicans.
With the backing of Presi
dent Eisenhower, the Repub
lican National committee an
nounced it would refuse the
funds collected at a Houston
dinner in honor of House
GOP Leader Joseph W. Martin.
