Banks Cut Prime Rate, Give
Stocks Third Straight Rise
New York -HJPD- A cut in
the prime rate by the na
tion's banks gave the stock
market its third consecutive
weekly rise.
The list registered its best
gain on Tuesday after most
major banks reduced from 5
per cent to 4Vj per cent the
interest they charge on loans
to customers with the best
credit rating.
The advance carried over
into Wednesday, but was re
versed in the last two sessions
of the week when some profit
taking came into the market.
Brokers noted that the decline
in volume the last two ses
sions from the mid-week pace
was characteristic of consoli
dation periods.
They said that certainly
some sort of resting phase
was called for after 15 con
secutive days during which
advances outnumbered de
clines. They added, however.
that constructive forces con
tinue to hold the reins, and
there should be sufficient
support to cushion any sell
ing. They expect a renewal of
the uptrend shortly.
One technician said that the
consolidation of relatively
light volume would impor
tantly improve the internal
condition of the list and help
the market's chances of re
sponding to any post Labor
Day pickup in business.
Summer Doldrums Continue
As for the business world,
there were no signs of the
economy coming out of its
summer doldrums and steel
officials have virtually writ
ten off September as the
month for the long awaited
upturn. They now pinpoint
October as the date for a ma
jor turn-around in the depress
ed steel market.
A sharp decline in July ma
chine tool orders, a barome
ter of future production plans,
also Injected pessimism into
the business outlook. The
weekly business statistics
didn't help clear up the pic
ture either. Steel, crude oil
electricity and coal produc
tion all ran behind the previ
ous week as did freight car-
loadings and bank clearings.
Sales last week rose to 15,
298,260 shares, or a daily av
erage of 3,059,652 shares,
from 13,702.603 shares, or an
average of 2740,529 shares per
day a week earlier.
Telautograph, which an
nounced it has available for
leasing "electronic handwrit
ing" machines that can trans
mit or receive messages over
local or long distance tele
phone wires, was by far the
most active issue with sales
of 403,600 shares. Its price
more than doubled on the
week, rising 9-"v to 1814.
Averages Up 1.60
Studebaker-Packard, Amer
ican Motors, Lockheed, and
General Motors rounded out
the five most active issues.
The Dow-Jones averages at
Friday's close showed 30 in
dustrials at 636.13 up 6.86
points from the previous
week, and 20 rails at 139.92
up 0.19. The utility averages,
after reaching a new sigh
since June 6, 1930 on Wednes
day slipped back a bit and
finished at 96.02 up 0.49. The
average for 65 stocks finished
up 1.60 to 210.55.
Most d r u gs issues were
helped by the announcement
that oral polio vaccine will be
produced commercially by
mid-1961. Allied Laboratories
jumped 7Ts, American Homes
Products rose 3'i, Vick 3, and
Pfizer 13,b, but American Cy
anamid fell 4-';a.

U.S. Begins Construction
Of World's Largest Radar
Washington - Sen. Wayne
Morse (D-Ore.) today express
ed alarm and concern over
reports that housing legisla
tion would be dropped in the
interest of quick adjournment
of the Congress.
"The politician who seeks
votes in Oregon this fall is
going to have to show that he
did everything he possibly
could to bring enactment of
a good housing bill," Morse
said. "I am ashamed to hear
reports that this session of
Congress may abandon the
housing bills.
"The Senate has passed its
omnibus housing bill, and it
is now on the desk of the
speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives; the House Bank
ing and Currency committee
has reported an even more
far-reaching one which is be
ing held up by the House
Rules committee; the House
Washington 0IPD - The Unit
ed States has begun construc
tion in Puerto Rico of the
world's largest radar, capable
of bouncing signals off the
planets Venus, Mars and Jupi
ter, the Defense Department
announced Monday.
The device also may detect
signals originating billions of
light years from earth.
The instrument's dish-shaped
antenna, 1000 feet in dia
meter, will cover 18 acres.
The construction, on a site 10
miles south of Arecibo, is to
be completed in the fall of
1961 at a cost of $5,500,000.
"The power of the Arecibo
radar will be greater than that
of any comparable instrument
now in existence," the depart
ment said. "There should be
no difficulty in obtaining
strong radar echos from dis
tant planets such as Venus,
Mars and Jupiter."
Bouncing radar signals
This Labor Day, unlike those of yesterday, has
real meaning for the nation's disabled millions;
it symbolizes that they have won a place in
business and industry on merit; not on charity.

The radar will both send

Smith Outlines
Forest Program
Roseburg - (UPD - Republi
can senatorial candidate Elmo
Smith said Monday Oregon
should take a "good long
look" at its forest resources
to make certain they are be
ing managed to the best in
terest of all the people.
Smith said "there is an
urgent need to develop a long
range program of continuous
management of our federal
forests to provide the maxi
mum number of permanent
jobs in industry."
Minimum timber volume,
he said, is needed to support
the billion dollar annual lum
ber, plywood and pulp in
dustries and the 90,000 per
sons directly employed by
them.
He said full recreational use
of national forests should be
provided for along with for
est watersheds.
Smith described a re-appraisal
of timber and forest
resources as the latest plank
in his campaign platform to
provide more jobs for Oregon.
He told Chamber of Com
merce members other neces
sary steps are a fair share of
federal spending in Oregon
for new space age industry;
prompt and wise develop
ment of natural resources to
stimulate recreation and tour
ist business, at the same time
preserving multi-purpose use
of natural resources; rapid
development of port facilities
and modern highways to serve
the coast; federal legislation
to support a long-range pro
gram for construction of more
private dwellings, and empha
sis on solution of Oregon t
producer problems in both in
dustry and agriculture.
has passed and sent to t h e
Senate an emergency meas
ure to stimulate private home
building, and this bill is pend
ing before the Senate Housing
subcommittee."
The senator added: "Final
action on one or more of
these measures is imperative.
The bottom has fallen out of
the lumber industry in Ore
gon. Every week brings new
plant shutdowns or reductions
in the work week. The de
cline in new housing starts
for 1960 is largely responsi
ble for this situation. This
slump must be reversed quick
ly, and any one of these three
bills would help reverse it.
Friends of housing legislation
must be particularly concern
ed with the failure of the
House to date to act on an
omnibus housing bill.
"With widespread unem
ployment in Oregon comes a
slump in the small businesses
in every community. I am al
ready hearing not only from
those who have been laid off,
but from the department
stores, laundries, and similar
establishments, whose regular
customers have stopped buy
ing or are doing their trading
on credit.
"I appeal to the Rules com
mittee in the House, the Bank
ing and Currency committee
of the Senate, and the leaders
of both parties In both houses
of the Congress to put their
efforts behind a housing bill
that will restore a reasonable
level of construction."

New York-(UPII-The econo

new standard of living-one
where the extremes are avoid
ed, and a relatively high pla
teau maintained, according to
Sidney B. Lurie of Josephthal
and Co.
Witness these facts, he says;
There is a greater stability
to consumer buying power
now than ever before; the
economy is not as vulernable
as it was at past turning
points when many excesses
cried for correction, and the
tremendous boom outside the
United States is spilling over
to many American industries.
Lurie points out there is no
economic law which says that
sweeping recessions are a
"must."
