national eceives Tinge usiness Picture of Optimism Personal Income, Faclory Orders Thow Increase Washington fUPH Govern lent reports showing good lins in personal income and actory orders in October put tinge of optimism in the isiness picture today. The reports diminished the kelihood of an economic re pssion early in 1963 and en anced the possibility the conomy would continue to xpand. There remained the nance it would merely level -.ff. Labor Secretary W. Willard .Virtz and President Ken nedy's Labor-Management Advisory committee called for a prompt $10 billion tax cut in 1963. They said it was needed both to give the econ omy a short-run lift and to put it on the long-run track to faster growth. Two members of the 21 man committee favored limit ing a tax reduction to $4 bil lion to $5 billion. Several members of the majority felt the $10 billion cut should be spread over two or three years, presumably to mini mize a federal budget deficit. A $10 billion tax slash would mean "appreciable deficits," the committee said. New Orders Rise Of three reports from the Commerce Department, one citing a 3 per cent spurt in new orders placed with manu facturers of durable goods gave most encouragement to government economists. The gain, a strong one for one month, also was spread among most major Industries. It raised the possibility that industrial production, which leveled off from July through October, might resume ex panding. That probably would mean overtime work for those employed and perhaps some new factory jobs. Another brightencr in the business situation was a siz able S2.1 billion advance in personal income from Septem ber to October. Although partly due to some special, non-recurring fuctors, it meant extra purchasing power for the Christmas shopping sea son. A third report showed housing starts rebounding from a September dip. Al though welcome news, it was not considered particularly significant. The decline and the recovery were attributed chiefly to differences in the number of working days in September and October. Strong in Steel The widespread advance in factory orders was especially strong in iron and steel. One expert expressed the view that steel users had begun rebuilding depicted inventor ies, a development for which the Industry long had waited. Autos and elertrical and non-electrical machinery also posted unusually good one month gains. Also up were furniture and ceramic prod ucts. A rise in orders for elec tronics and communications equipment was attributed to Defense Department buying. Aircraft was the only major industry reporting a dip in orders. It may have been merely a letdown from a good September performance. Fab ricated metals orders were un changed. fire jenerlohle Recount Petition Oieqon City - HTi Slite Sen.

The new rockets, each capa ble of pounding an enemy tar get with destructive power equivalent to about one mil lion tons of TNT, are con cealed in underground launch ing silos in Montana, informed sources said.

Calif. The date of this milestone shot has not been revealed. But one spokesman said "it could come before the end of the" year." The way for thai launching was made by the successful 3.500-niile flight of a Minute man on a "research and de velopment" mission from Cape Canaveral Monday.

Sources close to the pro gram said there are "some thing less than a dozen" nuclear-tipped Minuteman rock ets stored in the concrete-lined silos in Montana. These will be added lo a U. S. long-range striking force of at least 280 missiles, includ ing 152 Atlas and Titan inter continental ballistic rockets and 128 Polaris ballistic rock ets and 128 Polaris submarine launched missiles. In addition, America has 60 of the 1.700 mile Thor rockets in England, 30 Jupitcrs with a similar range in Italy, and a like number of Jupitcrs in Turkey. Eventually, at least 800 Minuteman rockets-all stored in well-protected underground launching pits-will be on sta tion witii nuclear warheads throughout the United States. The advent of the Minute man as a war weapon adds a new power to the U. S. global striking force. Theoretically, sources said, the rockets could be launched on 52 seconds no tice. It takes at least 15 min utes warning lo fire the larg er Atlas and Titan ICBMs. "I WAS BITTEN BY A KING COBRA i -AND LIVED!' hy It illuim lliiast M.tin pcoons h.ic been i.ikcd b the I'dtii;. ol tins liitecMiakc, btil only one of theni h.i Mir xnoJ lo loll about it Wtlli.un 1.1 l.i.ivt.

Hughes, in an article en titled "The Eisenhower I Knew," said Eisenhower "candidly acknowledged the concern that lay beneath all his signs of reticence" about including Nixon on the GOP ticket. According to Hughes. Eisen hower wanted former Minne sota Gov. Harold Stassen as his running mate. Stfrsen at the time was making a pub lic attempt to drive Nixon off the ticket. "I told Harold he should feel entirely free, so long as he did not purport to speak in my name, and I meant it," Hughes quoted Eisenhower. Eisenhower had suffered a heart attack in 1955 and was stricken in 1956 with an at tack of ileitis.
