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

Washington (IP) Rep.
Walter Norblad (R-Ore) an
nounced Tuesday he has
learned from the Post Office

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.
