BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor New York -flM- The home furnishings business, like the economy, has found the going rough thus far in 1961. But, again like the econ o m y, things are expected to g e t better later this this year. And the home fur nishings man- Henry Btcntoia ufa c t u r e r s look forward to reaping m substantial benef its ' from the population explosion predict ed for this decade. Based on the anticipated iiv crease in the number, of U.S. households to more than 56. million by 1965 compared with last year's level of 51.8 million, the Latex Foam Rub- Luce Likes Power Integration Idea Coeur d'Alcne, Idaho-OIPD-A proposed intertie between the power systems of the Pacific Northwest and California could have "very positive ben eficial effects," Charles F. Luce, Bonneville Power Ad ministration administr a t o r, aid Saturday. Luce made his statement at the annual meeting of the Kootenai Rural Electric coop erative here. He said a five-man group, which he heads, named by In terior Secretary Stewart Udall to study the plan starts "with no preconceived ideas." . But he said Udall had set two ground rules for the study. One, he said, is that "we are not to recommend construction unless it would be mutually beneficial to the economic growth of both re gions involved." The other calls for legal safeguards to insure that the area in which power is produced would sell only power which it does not need. Luce said about 85 per cent of California's electric power is now steam produced and purchase of cheaper hydro power from the Northwest would benefit California rate structures. At the same time, he said, this year BPA will let 30 million killowatts of pow er flow over dams without go ing through generators be cause there is no use for it in the Northwest. Sale of that wasted power would help keep Northwest power rates low, Luce said. ber Council places the home furnishings market potential at approximately $6.5 billion. This estimate of additional household item buying is sup ported by a recent study con ducted by the University of Houston which found that the average Houston home buyer spent $1,569 during the first year in his newly acquired home. Forty per cent of this $1, 569 was spent for furniture and about 27 per cent for kitchen appliances. Boom in Families Council Chairman Edward Welch said a significant fac tor in the growth of the home furnishings market will be the sharp rise in family for mations when the large num ber of. youngsters born in the 1940s, especially in the post- World War II baby boom, reach marriageable age. Projected figures on the number of marriages are 1.9 million in 1965 and 2.25 mil lion by 1970. This compares with an average of 1.6 million marriages annually the past 12 years. In addition to the popula tion and marriage factors. consumer demand for hous ing and home furnishings is likely to gain added impetus Narcotics Raid Nets 50 in Buffalo Buffalo, N. Y.-OIPI)-Federal, slate and local law enforce ment agencies, using eight dogs from the city police de partment K-9 Corps, Saturday night arrested more than 50 persons In one of Buffalo's largest narcotics raids. Police Commissioner Frank N. Fellcetta said the arrests were, made after 18 secret In dictments were handed down by a grand jury which had been hearing evidence on the narcotics flow in the city. Pravda Claims U.S. Harasses Journalists Moscow-IUPD - Charges of harassment of Soviet corres pondents in the U.S. were featured in the Communist party newspaper Pravda Sat urday as reports circulated that the Russian government might lift existing censorship restrictions against foreign correspondents here. Pravda said Russian journ alists working in the U.S. are shadowed, discriminated against and even forced to undergo the "humiliating pro cedure of finger printing.

In the 1948-1959 period an average of 20 per cent of the American population changed place of residence. Since younger people have shown the greatest inclination to move, the mobility rate may be expected to rise in this decade in view of population by age group trends. Still another factor of con sideration in evaluating fu ture demand for goods and services is the rising income level of the American family, which reached a median level of $5,417 in 1959. That year 43 per cent of all families were in the $5, 000 - $9,999 income group, against only 29 per cent in 1950. Only 6 per cent of U.S. families had incomes of $10, 000 and over a decade ago, but this figure jumped to 12 per cent by 1959. Disappointing Year Home furnishings manufac turers had a disappointing year in 1960. Only one firm, George Roper, of nine manu facturing concerns covered in a Standard & Poor's survey had higher profits last year, and one third of the group operated at a loss. While these firms are op timistic about the outlook for the latter part of this year, Standard & Poor's said there seems little reason to expect that competition for available business will become any less intense. n v I y is worth $2.00 at Groceteria!
