WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York -IUPD- Prentice Hall in its 1960 outlook for industry and commerce fore sees a record year in 1960 with practic ally all lines rising, and making their best showing in the first half. Late in the year, the firm Elmer Walxer finds prospect of some slowing down. Great gift inspirations!

INC., DETROIT, MICK. BLENDED CANADIAN WHISKY. 6 YEARS OLD. 90.4 PROOF. In line with other recent forecasts this one places gross national product at $501 bil lion to $510 billion, a rise of 5 to 7 per cent. It looks for a 1 to 2 per cent rise in the cost of living and but a tiny change in wholesale prices. About the only place where a decline is anticipated is in housing starts, but overall- construction is expected to set a record high. Among the records antici pated are steel, construction, chemical . and plastics, tex tiles, retail trade, electric util- i t i e s electrical equipment and electronics, rubber, tobac co, apparel, appliances, home furnishings, meat and poul try, and paper and paper board. Good Year for Autos Automobile production is expected to attain its second best year. Coal is expected to make a good gain. So are the railroads. The service looks for a rise over 1959 of about 8 per cent in advertisement and publishing. Agricultural equip ment faces curtailed . volume, with farm income slated to decline. Good gains are looked for in beverages, with distilled spirits up 15 per cent after a 25 per cent rise in 1959. Cuts in housing are expect ed to trim shipments of lum ber, cement, plumbing sup plies, brick qnd tile, but surg ing industrial construction will bolster the 1960 outlook for structural steel, glass and paint, Prentice-Hall says. All packaging segments are predicted . on the upbeat in 1960. Dairy products are ex pected to rise with, milk, but ter, and cheese leading an up turn in prices. Further increases in 1960 are looked for in drugs and confronted." toiletries. Growing popula tion and higher incomes are seen aiding food processors. Natural gas sales, up 10 per cent in 1959 are expected to duplicate that rise in 1960. The first half of 1960 is expected to be the best. The second half may see some re sistance to the recovery. The tight money squeeze, says P r e n t i c e-Hall, "will eventually topple the Wall Street Bull market. Moderate Decline Likely "And that's likely to push the 1960 business boom-ripe for topping out in any case into a moderate decline, run ning into 1961. "Uncertainties about changes which a new administration-Republican or Democratic-will make in such vi tal areas as defense spending, tax rates, and labor legisla tion will add to pervailing business and investor uncer tainty toward the end of 1960." After this slowdown, Prentice-Hall expects another new auto, housing, consumer dur ables, capital goods, and stock market boom - marking the start of a big new business upthrust for the surging six ties. The firm injects a warning that applies to the coming year and beyond: "We still haven't found the answers to the double threat and challenge that continue to cloud the promising long term outlook. "The unchecked threat of chronic creeping inflation could eventually force deval uation of the dollar. And the challenge of Russian and Chinese Communism on an 1 economic, political, scientific, and - possibly - military ram page has yet to be squarely j MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Wednesday, Dec. 16, 1959 7 Paper Strike In 37th Day; No Talks Slated Portland -0JPD- The strike of Sterotypers against the Ore gon Journal and the Oregon ian was in its 37th day today with no new joint negotia ting sessions scheduled. Federal Mediator Elmer Williams said after the last session Friday that talks had been recessed subject to call by himself or by either side. Guild Observes Lines The two newspapers contin ued to publish jointly in the Oregonian building. Ten mem bers of the Portland Newspa per Guild were reported to have returned to work. The local chapter of the Guild voted last week to continue to observe picket lines. Harley Flesvig, president of Stereotypers Local 48 and chairman of the Inter-Union Newspaper Strike Committee, said the unions would "wel come a fact-finding commit tee which would bring before the public the truth of this labor dispute which is depriv ing readers of their normal newspapers." Permit Terminated ; Such a fact-finding group had been suggested earlier by Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore). Publishers said the public interest already was being represented by the Fed eral Mediation Service. The State Wage and Hour Commission Tuesday termi nated effective Saturday mid night a temporary permit which had allowed the two newspapers to have some women teletypesetter' opera tors work a 60 hour work week. A reduction to 44 hours a week was ordered. Aluminum Tree Owners Cautioned Manitowoc Wis.-flJPfl- Own ers of aluminum Christmas trees have been cautioned by a manufacturer not to decor ate the trees with electric lights. John Torrison, president of the Aluminum Specialty Co., said Tuesday that '.'under no circumstances should electric lights or wiring be placed di rectly on metal trees." Torrison suggested instead that the trees be illuminated with colored spotlights placed at a distance from the tree. Aluminum is a conductor of electricity and could result in serious shocks if faulty wir ing were used on the tree. "Independent lighting is the best method for avoiding a voltage leak from a faulty light cord," Torrison said. Compare... Save More Than Usual! ...... ....
