Washington -(UPD- Federal Reserve board figures yester day offered fresh evidence that the nation's economy is emerging from the recession that gripped it last winter. The board reported that in dustrial production recorded its biggest increase in five months and construction ac tivity, personal income, and retial sales soared to record highs in November. The increase in factory, mine and mill activity was credited to a big boost in auto assemblies, plus a widespread gain in manufacturing activ ity generally.

This was two points above the November, 1957, level and on ly four points below the all time record set in the boom month of August, 1957. The board's seasonally ad justed rate of auto production in November stood at 139 per cent of the 1947-49 average, compared with only 67 per cent in October. The indus try s schedule indicated an even further increase in out put this month. The board noted that pro duction of non-durable goods, which fared relatively well during the business slump, ruse to a new record . in No vember. Construction Value Rises The value of new construc tion rose in November to an annual rate of 52 billion dol lars, 6 per cent more than a year ago. Retail sales rose IVz per cent to top the previous high set in the summer of 1957 by 1 per cent. In the field of construction, the bureau of labor statistics said Friday night that 100,000 new houses were begun in No vember, a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,330,000, the highest in 3Vi years. The bureau said that public-owned housing starts total ed 2,000 in November, bring ing the total for 1958 to a sev en year high of 65,500 units. This compared with 48,200 in the first 11 months of 1957. Texas' crude oil reserves in creased 9.2 barrels for each foot of well drilled in 1957.
