    Slight Dip in Nation's Economy Early in 1963 Predicts
Worst Oregon Storm
Claims 18th Victim
Portland UP0 Oregon lo-
dav counted its 18th accident
al death from last Friday's
great windstorm while ome
families prepared for another
week end without power jna
telephone service.
Tim O'Sullivan, 35, a pa
tient at Oregon State hospital
died in a hospital here Thurs
day from injuries suffered
when struck by a falling tree
during the storm.
Seventeen other accidental
deaths were counted earlier
along with at least eight heart
attack victims.
Power and telephone crews
continued to work at their
best speed to restore servire
A telephone company spokes
man said Thursday night that
all but 24,300 telephones had
been restored to service with
14,600 of them out in the
Portland area.
Power firms asked residents
where service had been re
stored to turn on their porch
lights to make it easier for
crews to find isolated cases
of outages.
A heavy damage estimate
, was made by the Oregon Fil
bert commission. It said loss
to orchards was figured at
$30 to $40 million.
Farmers were hard hit
throughout western Orcton

try apparently suffering the
most damage.
The Red Cross estimated
that 84 homes were destroyed,
5,262 damaged heavily and
46,672 damaged slightly by
the storm in Oregon.
At least 800 million board
feet of federal timber valued
al $16 million was blown
down but the Forest Service
said 85 per cent of it could
be salvaged. Bureau of Land
Management estimated 1,023,
000 board feet of timber was
blown down on land it man
ages. Today, a week after the
edge of Typhoon Frieda dealt
the worst weather blow in
history to the western part of
the state, the weather was
cloudy with a few fog patches.
Strongest coastal winds were
forecast to be 6 to 12 miles
per hour.

Business Council
Consultants See
$2 Billion Drop
Hot Springs. Va. - IUPII - A
"great majority" of the na
tion's top business consultants
predicted today that there
would be a slight dip in the
nation's economy in the first
half of 1963.
The prediction, which dif
fered from that of government
economists, was made public
by Frederick R. Kappel, board
chairman of American Tele
phone and Telegraph Co., at
the opening session of the
Business Council.
The council, made up of
tile nation's top corporation
officials, began a three-day
work and play meeting here
;oday.
Kappel said most of the
council's 20 technical consult
ants expect economic activity
"to peak out by year-end and
turn down in the first quarter
of 1963."
Administration officials ir
Washington are forecasting ei
ther continued small gains for
the economy or a leveling off
on a high plateau.
Like the corporate econo
mists, the government experts
do not anticipate any substan
tial pickup in the rate of eco
nomic growth before the sec
ond half of 1963.
Kappel said the decline in
the nation's business activity
in the early part of next year
is expected to be less than $2
billion. Government econo
mists feel a dip of that size
in a $560 billion economy is
really no dip at all.
Bom government and cor
poration economists have a
strong feel that the economy
needs the stimulation, as
quickly as possible, of
across-the-board tax cut for
individuals and corporations
promised for next year by
President Kennedy.
As is cuslomary, newsmen
were barred from the coun
cil's meeting. But, in an un
precedented step, Kappel
made available a synopsis of
his presentation before he fin
ished speaking.
He reported the council's
consultants expect the gross
national product-the total ot
all business activity-lo reach
a record annual rate of $560
billion in the fourth quarter
of 1962. This would represent
another small gain of $4.5 bil
lion from the preceding quar
ter. Kappel said that consumer
prices are expected to in
crease again next year, aver
aging slightly higher than in
1962. This would be in line
with increases the past few
years.
The business council is a
group of 175 businessmen,
many of them chiefs of the
country's biggest corpora
tions. Once an advisory arm
of the Commerce department,
the council declared itself in
dependent in 1961 in a dis
agreement with Hodges.
former President Dwight
D. Eisenhower and It is wife
were guests of the council for
the week end. He is scheduled
to address the council mem
bers and their wives Saturday
night.

On Higher Education
State legislative candidate
Ed Branchfield called for
more extensive use of existing
higher education facilities

'Over-Optimism'
By Canadians
Washington -UPli- U.S. lum
ber industry spokesmen said
Thursday Canadian lumber
men were victims of "over-op-timism''
in bclicviiiK that the
U.S. Tariff Commission will
rule against restricting im
ports of Canadian softwood
lumber.
The U.S. lumbermen said
the Canadians apparently had
a real lack of understanding j
. . . oi me serious magnitude
of the pressures rapidly de
veloping in a!l parts of the
United Stales for an immedi
ate solution of Hip problem."
The U.S. lumber industry
representatives, who had serv
ed as advisers to the U.S.
dclciiation at this week's lum
ber talks in Ottawa, said in
a statement they were en
couraged by the U.S. negotia
tors' understanding of the
problem.
In the past, U S. lumber
men has expressed fear that
the government might subor
dinate the lumber industry in
favor of other U.S. Canadian
interests. The statement said,
however, that the industry ad
visers concluded that "U.S.
government represcntat Ives
were dealing with this prob
lem on its own merits."
The US - Canadian talks
ended Wednesday with a com
munique announcing that a
joint expert working group of
governmental officials would
be set up to examine such
problems as storm damage in

funds for elderly persons who
are not covered by social se
curity. In Portland, Sen. Wayne
Morse (D-Ore.),' campaigning
in earnest now that Congress
has adjourned, blamed "pure
legislative blackmail" for the
deletion of funds for several
Oregon projects from a Senate
bill.
Some of the money later
was restored. Morse said Rep.
Mike Kirwan (D-Ohio) oppos
ed the Oregon money in re
taliation for Morse opposition
to the Kirwan Aquarium bill
thbt later passed anyway.
Morse said he opposed Kir
wan's aquarium bill because
the money could better be
used to combat river pollution
in the nation's capital.
Morse's opponent, Sig Unan
dor, told a Monmouth audi
ence the United States should
retain the Connally Amend
ment which gives it the pow
er to decide whether it will
submit to World Court rul
ings. Morse has fought for renel
of the amendment in an effort
to strengthen the World Court.
At Eugene today, Unander
said the United States must
combine a military defense
with a propaganda offense.
"Some people may consider
me a saber-rattler," he said
"If so, let me make it clear
that I propose our primary
weapon be one of firm moral
convictions, and that our great
strategic attack be a propa
ganda attack."
