Ability of Market To Hold in Recession Puzzles Investors Editor's note: Arthur W. Bullock, analyst for Paine, Webber, Jack son & Curtis, has written the fol lowing dispatch for Elmer C. Wal zer's "Financial Gossip" column while Walzer is on vacation. By ARTHUR W. BULLOCK Paine, Webber, Jackson 8c Curtis Written for United Press New York (IP) Many in vestors are puzzled at the abil ity of the stock market to hold well above last year's low despite the current busi ness picture. Two factors seem chiefly responsible for this perform ance. First, there is a fairly widespread belief that the monetary and fiscal steps al ready taken or proposed by Washington will not only be sufficient to arrest the cur rent slide, but also will pro vide the fuel for the quick re sumption of our country's long-term economic growth. Second, spending plans point to considerable deficit financ ing, even excluding tax cut possibilities, and thus the de sire to hedge against the fear of inflation. Faith Pays Off While many forces are al ways influencing the market, during the past few weeks faith in the government's economic ability and fear of inflation both have been ma jor supporting influences on the stock market. Yet the pru dent investor must ask him self, will these factors con tinue to operate as strongly in the next month or two as they have since the beginning of the year- Let's examine the two more closely. There can be little doubt that increased spending and other action by the govern ment will aid the economy, with the results expected to become increasingly ' evident as the year progresses. Yet the pronounced downturn in the dynamic area of i capital expenditures by business for plant and equipment is an off setting factor. Realistic Appraisal A period of digestion at a fairly high level rather than a - quick resumption of our growth appears a more realis tic appraisal of the next year or so. While the business de cline has been deeper than most had anticipated a few months ago, the most disap pointing fact to recent buyers may be the increasing signs that a new business peak is not just around the corner. Oregon Due 11 New Post Offices Washington (IP) Rep. Walter Norblad (R-Ore) an nounced Tuesday he has learned from the Post Office Department it plans to start building two new postal sta tions in Portland by this fall, plus new post offices in 11 other Oregon cities. Postal officials also told the Congressman they would give immediate consideration t o three more new post offices if Congress approves five - cent postage for out-of-town first class mail. The Department said it would proceed this year with construction of Porthland sta tions at Albina and Lents and of new post offices at: Central Point, Drain, Gladstone, Gold Beach, Milton - Freewater, North Bend, Rainier, Red mond, Roseburg, Toledo and Troutdale. The commercial leasing program will be util ized for the projects. Five -cent postage, the De partment said, would permit construction starts -on new post offices at- La Grande, Pendleton, and The Dalles.

This growing realization could be a strong depressant on the current level of confi dence in the stock market. Moreover, it might also be pointed out that a recovery in business activity does not guarantee a similar recovery in corporate profits. As to hedging against in flation there appears little question about the need for protection over a long period of time. Yet for the near-term is it wise to buy stocks for that reason alone when recent figures indicate that instead of inflation, some deflation is now evident? A good example is in nonferrous metal prices. The decline in the market last week may have "been an indicator that more investors are becoming concerned over the validity of the two rea sons cited above which have helped the market in recent weeks. With poor first quarter earnings statements due soon, the market is in a vulnerable position to any change in confidence. A Liar Sometimes Wiser? Actors Ponder At SOC Is it sometimes wiser not to demand nor tell the whole truth? This is the ques tion posed in the drama "Dan gerous Corner" being pre sented every night this week by Southern Oregon college. The English author, J. B. Priestley, made this a play of tense, emotion - filled scenes and since it uses but one set ting a living room it is ideal for the "in-the-round" style which Director Angus Bowmer and his actors are using. The audience, sitting only a few short feet from the players, is caught up in the story and achieves a rap port with the actors not possi ble always in traditional pre sentation. Three unhappily married couples, a philosophical and worldly bachelor and an in telligent, sensitive single woman, all identified with the same family and business firm, weave the story, and author Priestley uses an intriguing dramatic device to show the hidden facets of their per sonalities and lives. Able Cast In the able and well-rehearsed cast are Nancy Davies as Maud Mockridge, a novel ist; Audrey Hite as Olwen Peel, secretary in a publish ing firm; Rudolf E. Vest Jr., as Gordon Whitehouse, and Molly Walker as his wife; Les White playing Robert Chat field, head of the publishing firm; Carolyn Schoenberg as Robert's wife and Bill Greg ory as Charles Stanton. Director Bowmer stresses this play is for adults only and this is quite true. The im mature mind would not un derstand or appreciate the emotions and drives which the dialogue reveals. The three marriages of the play are sad, if not downright tragic, the only two emotionally stable characters in the cast are the unmarried ones, but they com mit the crimes. Director Bowmer's produc tion staff is composed of La rayne Weed, Francis Fann, Richard Simonson, Dale Flowers and Dwight Stiles. Curtain time is 8:30 p.m. 'Black Damp' Kills 2 Virginia Miners Carbo, a API Two min ers were killed by . deadly "black damp" following an explosion in a mine here and four others were burned in the blast. Ralph Huffman, production manager of the Clinchfield Coal Co., said the "localized" blast was caused by ignition of methane gas sparked by cave-in of a section of . the mine's roof. Huffman said rocks hurtled down with the cave-in and touched off a spark which ig nited the gas. The burned methane left carbon monox ide, referred to by miners as the deadly "black damp." Clyde Large, 28, of Her ald,. Va., and Jess Steffy, 25, of Hamlin, Va. died from in haling carbon monoxide be ing drawn from the mine through a ventilator, Huff man said.
