New Y$rk (UPI) Wall
Street is becoming more and
more impressed with the bus
iness status to the point where
it is arguing against the ec
onomists of the future.
The economists are taking
a cautious attitude a slow

alizing a very
much speed
ier recovery.
They believe
we have pass
ed the bottom
of the recessioO and are mov
ing upward right now. Not
all the economists hold toQthis
belief.
And today the market men
got a cliafher from Standard
Poor's wmch it regards as the
authority on earnings calcu
lations. Standard says the earnings
recovery may well be more
rapid than many observers
now suppose. It believes op
erating efficiency should rise
rather sharply. "Management
is forced to tighten all oper
ations all along the line, la
bor inefficiency is discourag
ed by the present level oi un
employment, and many of the
new plants built in recent
years are now shaken down,"
Standard says, o
Standard has estimated that
profits of the 525 industrial
stocks in its industrial index
may reach $2.95 for the year.
Q
Highly Significant
This is considered highly
significant since the first
quarter worked out at an an
nual rate of only S2.71.
The Standard & Poor's pro
jection envisages a final quar
ter rate approximating that
of the last quarter of 1957.
That final quarter worked
out at $3.23. It was the low
of the year and the lowest
for a quarter since the third
quarter of 1956 when the fig
ure fell to $3.17.
But it is seen as highly sig
nificant since it would repre
sent a rise from $2.71 for the
first quarter. This works out
at 52 cents or 19 per cent.
Wall Street continues to re
gard earning power as the
main criterion for a stock
market advance even though
the current rise has come at
a time when earnings were in
a decline.
The market, The Street in
sists, has been discounting a
better future and the market
men insist the market was
more nearly right than the
human prognisticators.
New Highs
Many lines of business
have been showing improve
ment. Steel and car loadings
have reached new highs for
the year.
The copper industry has
been able to boost prices. Gas
oline is in better demand and
the inventory position is im
proving to the point where
the oil allowable may be
raised in Texas.
There have been sharp
gains in construction. Retail
trade so far this year has set
a record high.
Many other lines are pick
ing up and the street is plac
ing a lot of its hope for the
future on the new automobile
models which will appear
earlier than usual this year,
catching on.
If those autos do sell as
many think they will there
will be big business from the
steel companies up and down,
including the railroads and
new acceleration of the recovery.
LOVESICK AIRMAN FOUND Airman Donald Keeton
and his girl friend, Doris Bowling, embrace at the Dallas,
Tex., Police station, after Donald was found at his moth
er's home. He had taken off from a Mississippi airport
earlier this week on what was believed to be a "suicide
flight," because Doris had rejected him. An Air Force
jet bomber and a helicopter were dispatched to make
him come down, but his plane disappeared into clouds,
and he was not seen again until discovered at his mother's
home.

Mexican Mysiery
Town Unearthed
Berkeley, Calif. (UPI)
An ancient mystery town un
earthed from pre-historic lava
near Mexico City, has been es
tablished as the oldest known
urban center in Central Mex
ico by five University of Cal
ifornia anthropologists.
Dr. Robert F. Heizer, pro
fessor of anthropology, re
ported that he and his col
leagues excavated three earth
mounds 500 yards from the
Cuicuilco Pyramid, which con
tained burials, pottery frag
ments and articafts about
2,400 years old.
The mounds concealed man
made structures of large
round boulders held together
with clay. They apparently
served as bases for the ritual
temples of an ancient people.
With radioactive carbon the
scientists were able to date
the flow of the lava which
covered the area about 250
B. C. Heizer estimated the
structures were abandoned
some 200 years earlier but
where the inhabitants went
or why they left is a mystery.
