Home Furnishings Business
Finds Going Rough During '61
By HENRY J. 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

substantial benef its ' from the

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.

from the relatively high rate
oi moDUlty of Americans.
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.
