Wall Street Chatter New York - (l?D - A special report on the chemical in dustry by Shear-son, Hammill & Co. recommends a cautious investment nnli a rather flat profits picture in iigm Dotn this year and next. With most chemical sharps selling at 20 times or more estimated ihbu earnings, the report believes that chemicals on tne wnoie are likely to be relatively dull market per formers for some time to come and that better invpstmpnt nn. portunities are available else- wnere. Holdings br Institutional Investors, it says, are sub stantially larger than was the ease before the industry en tered the J 958 recession so little new buying support can be looked for from this area. It notes, however, that in dividual earnings perform ances are apt to vary consid erably. Union Carbine, Allied Chemical and Air Reduction should benefit from the re bound in steel and metal working while National Dis tillers & Chemical, Dow, Mon santo and Foster Grant should benefit from the continued up surge in plastic demand.

FIRST FEDERAL Savings & Loan Assn. of Medford 29 North Ivy Street Robert t. Kyle, Manager In the Day's News By FRANK This modern world note: A factory in Munich, Ger many, which ones was de voted to the making of hum ble sauerkraut is today turn ing out some of the haughtiest ski apparel worn on snow slopes all the way from Squaw valley to St. Mauritz - which you should pronounce Sangt Mo-REETZ if you hone to move in the best ski circles. WHIS modernized sauerkraut factory is owned and oper ated by Maria and Willy Bog- ner, a husband-and-wife team of skiers and manufacturers credited in many sports circles with a whole revolution in re cent yean - since they aban doned sauerkraut - both in color and in construction of ski wear. Away back in 1952, they invented "stretch pants, which is a generally used term for ski trousers made of a combination of wool with elasticized nylon. In the case of stretch pants, they were aiming more at speed than at sex appeal. These garments are now known as Bogners. Explaining them, Willy says: "The less wind resistance the better. Ski pants need to be close fitting for downhill where every second counts." tiROM stretch pants, the Rnpnprs upnt nn in Hractif changes in color. No more dark blues and blacks and browns. The Bogners brought in all the colors of the rain bow. They use some 40 hues, some of which they developed themselves and have made to their order. They also took the ancient coverall, which Winston Churchill made famous dur ing the war as his "siren suit," and glamorized it into a Stop Me with CONFIDENCE at JENKINS ski uniform that was worn by the members of the German ski team this winter at Squaw valley. llfME. BOGNER (it would have been Frau Bogner back in the old sauerkraut days) does the designing. She also does her full share of the skiing. She says: "You can't design ski wear unless you ski." So she skis - AND HOW! some of the skiers who watch her exclaim, partially In ad miration and partially in envy. She has just turned 45, and at that crucial period of life when the middle - age spread is supposed to be get ting in its deadly work she has the lean shape of a teen ager, the snowy hair of a grandma and a wind-tanned face thai deepens the blue of her eyes. BACK in the sauerkraut days, her figure would have had its full share of what the French cautiously de scribe as "embonpoint," which comes from too liberal in dulgence in sauerkraut and its natural companions, pig's knuckles and beer. Her clothes, in those days, would have been adapted to her shape - which is to say that stretch pants and rainbow colors would have been out of the window so far as she was concerned. And She would have spent her time on the sidelines, un observed, instead of out on the ski slopes, the cynosure of all eyes. Along with the rest, the sauerkraut factory has been transformed from a drab, smoke - darkened brick building in the factory district of Munich to an elegant glass and steel structure set in the countryside and surrounded by gardens and trees. AH, WELL. The world rhanffps. and If we are to keep up we must change along with it. Mrs. Bogner says she ADORES change. Treasury Holding Tax Refunds for Many Taxpayers Washington - IUPD - Here's news bigger than man-bites- dog: The government wants to pay $20 million to the tax payers: The money is in the Treas ury, waiting to be claimed by about 400,000 taxpayers who failed to receive their income tax refund checks over the years. The government will keep the money available "for ever," the Treasury told Unit ed Press International. This information was dis closed as time drew near for taxpayers to file their 1959 Income tax returns. In 37 states, the deadline is the usual midnight, April 15 -Friday. In the other 13 states the deadline has been pushed back to midnight next Mon day, because' April 15, Good Friday, is a legal holiday there. Virtually all the 400,000 re. funds were unpaid because the Treasury's checks could not be delivered. The tax payers forgot to put their ad dress on their tax return, or they moved before the check came and left no forwarding address, or their handwriting was hard to read and the check was misaddressed. Officials conceded that in some cases the Internal Reve- I nue Service made an error of its own and the check never found the taxpayer. ' Some Refunds Old Some of the refunds are many years old. They average $45 to S50. There is no dead line for claiming the money. "The records are kept for ever," an IRS spokesman said. "We never dissolve an obliga tion like that." Persons who believe there is an old refund they never collected should inquire, by mail or in person, at their district Internal revenue of fice. Usually, if the claimant's signature matches the one on the return the IRS will make the payment, a spokesman said. The 13 states and three U.S. possessions in which the fil ing deadline has been extena ed to April 18 are Connect!' cut. Delaware, Florida, Ha- waii, Illinois, Indiana. Louis iana.

In only three years since its introduction to western motorists, Richfield Boron gasoline has created a success story of unequaled public acceptance. Richfield Boron has passed the test where it counts most: on the streets and highways under all types of driv ing conditions. Tested, not in a laboratory, but in more than 100 million car miles of actual driving by motorists like you. That's where Richfield Boron gasoline has set new records for smooth, knock-free performance. Not so dramatic but equally important to money conscious motorists -is the extra mileage enjoyed by users of this motor fuel. This mileage bonus comes from Boron's ability to control engine combustion, to prevent pre-ignition which wastes gasoline... and thus to utilize to the fullest every drop of clean-burning Richfield Boron. And many owners of the new compact cars are finding they get "big car" performance by switching to Richfield Boron -plus the built-in mileage benefits of this advanced motor fuel. If you haven't tried Richfield Boron, give yourself-and your pocketbook-a treat with this new type of gasoline. It's over 100 octane. MAKERS OF Aliquippa-Monaca blvd.

OUR "GOOF" li Your Gravyl BE A K-BOY Blooper-Snooper "Boron" is not a gimmick or coined word invented by some pseudo-scientific publicity man. Boron is one of the natural elements of the universe. It appears on the atomic scale as do gold, silver, platinum, hydrogen, oxygen and other natural elements. Boron has over 200 industrial and scientific uses. Its most spectacular use has been in the improvement of high-energy fuels for rockets and missiles. Its most important use for you is in the gasoline tank of your car.
