o o o o o 0 Adverse Market News Building With Favorable Development By ELMER C. WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York, UPI Adverse market news has been build ing up recently along with fa vorable devel ments. The near bal- r " t ance may be - nffsut nm m jT'r H market men list is rather u r lhih with yields down O Elmer Walzer ana a great irgny with fat profits in a po sition to sell at a long-term capital gain profit. However, until the Iraq re volt cafne along there was a bullOh undertone to the gos sip in the Street. The full ef fects of that cannot be deter mined and if it can be ironed out without too much difficul ty the market could be in a position to gloss it over, it is held. On the favorable side, as the financial district sees it, is a government move to look way ahead to the 1960 fiscal year with admonitions to hold down spending. That would indicate, it was said, that the administration is convinced the recession will be oat of the way by next July with re covery well under full steam.

A steady inflow of orders would make possible a price rise in the not distant future. Building has been a boon to the recovery forces. Also re cently auto sales have risen to new highs for the year. And the rail picture has im proved. On the adverse side the principal worries have been over the lack of top leader ship and a tendency toward speculative activities. Much is being made of the recent rise in brokerage loans, even though much of it was the type collateraled by gov ernment bonds. There has been speculation in stocks but more of it seems to center on government bonds. Not a few of the trades in the recent offering of govern ments represented activity of the so-called free riders who got burned in their attempt to make a "fast buck." Insiders Selling There has been consider able speculation in low prices shares on the New York mar kets and American traders have been lured in a big way into low-priced stock specu lation in Canada. " Also, it is noted that in fers officials of compan ies have been selling more e WESTINGHOUSE NUTONE " OTHERS In Our Showroom 1 to 3 Days! Electric the world. L MEDFGRD MAIL TRIBUNE stock of their own companies than they have been buying. The speculative urge seems present, in greater quantity than in a long time in both stocks and bonds. That con jures up the talk of a rise in margin requirements. With the Treasury coming into the market with big op erations soon, it is guessed there will be no changes in margins or money generally. Flood of Reports The market has ahead of it a flood of second quarter re ports which are expected to make anything but good read ing. These, however, may have been discounted a long time ago, say the experts. Bad news, such as the Ford divi dend cut, it is recalled only had a momentary influence on the market. The bears are holding tight to their commitments. 'The bulls haven't given up but it is held they could be frightened into unloading if the Middle East situation worsened. United fo Use New Processing System New York A $16 million passenger reservations system the largest interconnected electronic data processing sys tem ever to be built for any industry has been ordered by United Air Lines from the Teleregister Corporation of Stamford, Conn., W. A. Pat terson, United's president, has announced. The system will make in stantly available to more than 2,500 ticket sales agents in 208 offices throughout the United States complete reser vations information on all flights for one year ahead. Marking a major break through in communications, the system for the first time adapts relatively inexpensive telephone- lines to on-line transmission of digital data in excess of 1,300 words-per-min-ute with unique high-speed switching and terminal equip ment. This is 15 times faster than previously possible. The passenger reservations network will be placed in op eration the later part of 1960, i connecting 80 cities on I United's 14,000-mile system. As a facility for electronic processing of data, it will be second only to SAGE, the na tion's early warning defense network.

My husband re fuses to retire. Louis L They think I'm on my last legs. Laura L. My husband and I are nearing 70 and have our own small business. Neither of us is in very good health and the business has been going steadily downhill over the past few years. We have four children who want to help us out if my husband will retire. They could do it with very little strain. Our needs are quite small. But my husband stub bornly refuses. The worst of it is that des pite the fact that he works about 12 hours a day, much of it at hard labor, my husband doesn't quite make ends meet. Last year the children had to help out with certain ' emer gency expenses in connection with the store. It cost them more than it would to support us. Louis L. For no reason at all, my family has suddenly lost all confidence in me. They don't seem to recognize there is a recession on. I pull ed through worse periods then this with my business and j came out on top. I m still able to do it. I'll pay the children back with interest for every penny they put into the business last year. When I ask my wife what am I going to do if I retire, she says, "Garden, read the papers, see your friends." Well, I do that on the week end and I'm just about sick of it when Monday morning rolls around. - My whole family seems to take the attitude that I'm on my last legs, but the doctor thinks I'm in top condition for my age. The Council: We're with Louis. It is hard for young persons to be forced to stand by and watch an older person over exert himself physically, but Phone Call Gives Out Dispute Information New York (UPI) Mem bers of the United Telephone Organizations can get latest information on the union's contract dispute with the New York Telephone Com pany by dialing one of four telephone numbers where they hear it summarized on a recording. The service was bought from the company by the un ion for $500 a week to keep its 20,000 members informed of the daily situation. History records more than 50 major eruptions of Mount Etna, Europe's highest active volcano. if the only alternative to such work is complete retirement, the younger person should re strain that helping hand as long as possible. The body recovers from its aches and weariness, but the mind that wakes to day after day of monotonous emptiness cannot recover. Besides, doctors agree that most of our bodies suffer far more from underactivity than overexertion. Certainly, a man who has done hard physi cal labor all his life will suffer severely in a physical sense from sudden retirement. Harried young and middle aged individuals imagine nothing can be more delight ful than to have the time to "garden, read the papers, see your friends." That's because these activities represent an oasis of pleasure in the midst of a busy and challenging life. Deprived of his sense of in dependence and of all goal and challenge, the older per son often finds these activities tiresome and certainly unsat isfactory as a goal to look for ward to every mornng. Laura cannot really appre ciate this problem because she would continue to be in dependent and of use to her self and her husband. As long as she is physically able there will be housework to do. Louis ought to try to taper off a bit on the heavy work, but if it can't be managed, his children should try to ac cept the situation. . (Copyright 1958. General Features Corp.)

That's paying for vicuna and not getting it. The Federal Trade Commis sion has a staff of 25 full-time sleuths whose job is to see that you do not get gypped when you buy a fancy wool or fur garment. It was these FTC detectives who lodged mis-labeling com plaints against Bernard Gold fine's mills, and sent Gold fine in search of his friend Sherman Adams. Policing the wool and fur Jackson, Miss.

S.w trades is quite a task for 25 men. It involves keeping a beady eye on the quality, price, labelling and adver tising practices of some 65, 000 manufacturers and 300, 000 distributors. The FTC men have been unusually busy lately. During the 1958 fiscal year, which ended June 30, they tagged 77 firms with formal com plaints for violating the Fur Products Labeling Act. They filed 36 formal complaints for deceptive label or pricing of wool. About 90 more cases are no pending. Many Warnings Issued Formal complaints are is sued only in serious cases. The FTC tries to handle minor or unintentional infractions by issuing an informal warning to the offender and obtaining his written assurance that he'll toe the line hereafter. About 2,500 cases were han dled this way during the past 12 months. Harvey H. Hannah, chief of the FTC's Wool and Fur Division, readily admits that his small staff can't catch all of the sharp operators in the far-flung wool and fur trade. This is a job in which we urgently need the public's co operation," said Hannah in an interview. "We are trying to educate consumers to help us enforce the laws Congress has passed for their protection." The first step in this edu cation program, Hannah said. is to make the public aware of what the laws require. The Wool Products Label act of 1939 says that suits, blankets and other woolen goods must bear labels which accurately describe the "fiber content" of the product in plain English. For example: 60 per cent wool, 30 per cent rayon, 10 per cent cotton." Common Violations Re - used or re - processed wool must be clearly identi fied. When "specialty fibers like vicuna, cashmere, mohair and alpaca are used in a gar ment, the-precise percentage must be shown on the label.

Circulation a m n & MAIL TRIBUNE, Medfori, Oregon, Wednesday, July 16, 1958 IS Exaggerating the amount of specialty fibers in a product is one of the commonest vio lations. Hannah said consum ers should be suspicious any time they are offered gar ments purportedly containing exspensive fibers like cash mere or vicuna "at ridicu lously low prices." ' Another common violation is failing to identify re-used wool. Hannah offered this tip to buyers: "The fabric or re claimed wool is very weak. If you put your fingers on either side of the material and work them back and forth you can put a hole right through it." When the traditional "Aug ust fur sales" get underway next month, Hannah said you can be reasonably confident that no "one will try to sell you a "mink" coat that really came from a muskrat. That kind of flagrant mis-labeling of fur has virtually disappear ed since the Fur Products La beling act took effect in 1952. The Babbitt's Rise Prior to that law, the pelt of the iowly rabbit was mar keted under 96 different fancy labels, including "Austalian seal," "Baltic lion," and "Bel gian beaver." Today all furs must be la beled with the plain English name of the animals from which they come. Rabbit, de prived of its elegant pseudo- nymns, has virtually diappear- ed from fur shops. The big racket in fur selling -today, Hannah said, is "ficti tious pricing.'

They ticket a coat at a price far above its actual retail value so that a glib salesman can "knock some thing off" for the customer i who wants to haggle "If you are gullible enough tp think you can get some thing for nothing, you'll prob ably be victimized by un scrupulous fur dealers," said Hannah. "Your best protection it to know your dealer. Buy only from a reputable merchant who will stand behind his product. And do not be so naive as to think you will actually find a high-quality fur at an outrageous bargairD price."
