Newspaper Page Textr MONDAY, OCTOBER 28. 1963 MKDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Nation's Economy Expected To Continue At Good Pace WASHINGTON (UPI) The U.S. economy is barreling along today at a pace that must confound some of the pes simists of a few weeks ago. If there is a recession in the immediate future, it seems to Cages Plunge In African Mine JOHANNESBURG, South Af rica (UPI) An elevator cable in a shaft snapped early today, sending two cages with 74 min ers plunging deep into a gold mine at Carletonville, 50 miles from here. Fifty-four of the miners four white and 50 Africans were rescued shortly after noon from the upper cage, which had stopped at the 1,000-foot level. There were no casualties in this group. The lower cage was halted at 5,000 feet below ground level, and rescue teams went down the damaged shaft in an effort to reach 20 miners who were trapped inside. It was not known if any min ers in the lower cage survived the accident, which happened at the Western Deep Level Mine, one of the biggest and most modern gold mines in South Africa. A white miner, who was in jured on the surface when the ore carrier cable snapped and struck him, died of injuries re ceived in the accident. The two cages plunged down the mine shaft when ore-carrying cages on their way up failed to stop and caused the lifting cable to snap. The downward plunge of iho cages was halted eventually by emergency gear. be well hidden in the charts the documents with the wavy lines and long columns of num bers which are pieced together by economists searching for clues to the future. Right now, just about every thing seems to be coming up optimism. President Kennedy's Council of Economic Advisers keynoted the happy theme last week by estimating the gross national products (GNP) the total es timated value of all goods and services at $583.5 billion for the three-month period ended in September. It was the big gest quarterly jump in 21 months. And there are reasons to feel that the forces that fashioned the healthy third quarter will continue pumping vigof into the economy for the remainder of the year and on into 1964. Recession Talk Fading The recession talk that was prevalent as recently as two weeks ago is starting to fade awa-. The administration still feels .iiat President Kennedy's $11 billion tax cut is vitally needed, but there is less em phasis on its role as an anti recession device in 1964. The third quarter GNP rock eted to a new nign mainly be cause of spirited consumer and business spending. Government studies indicate that continued rising incomes will help maintain the consum er spending spree for the re mainder of 1963. Two important contributions also are expected from the re cently enacted military pay in crease and the second stage of a federal civilian pay raise. Ac tually, the civilian increase won't go into effect until early next year. But economists rea son that the consumer assisted by a charge - a - plates, credit cards and human nature will be spending it in advance dur ing the Christmas season. Business spending for new plants and equipment also shows sign of slaying up, on the basis of industry plans out lined six months ago. It prob ably will not jump as high as the third quarter but it is ex pected to continue playing a vi tal role in propping up the economy. What about next year? Two Favorable Signa There are two favorable signs that are causing some of the limb-climbers to predict a healthy 1964. The auto industry opened its new model year this month with sales reports that suggest a boom year for car sellers. The first 10 days of the month exceeded the corresponding 10 days in October of last year which the industry at that time felt was "tremendous." The auto industry is one of the main arteries in the econ omy. When it is in a robust state, some of its vitality is channeled off to all of the other business sectors. Although there is still no ad vance information on next year's business spending plans, the feeling is that the news will be good. Rising profits and con sumer incomes are expected to keep business in a mood to dish out more capital for ex pansion. The more conservative econo mists, who see the trends as "mixed," usually point to three other elements of the economy wnicn are less optimistic. One is the high unemploy ment rate still hounding the na tion. Retail sales also slipped in September, and industrial pro duction just about held even after dropping in August for the Iirst time this year. Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF A FRENCH playwright visited our shores this season with his new and beautiful wife in tow. Unbelievably jeal ous, he had her shadowed constantly by private detectives until American friends told him, "We don't do things that way over here. Your behavior is an insult to all womanhood. Call off those gumshoes immediately." Reluctant ly the French playwright followed their directive. The very next day his bride slapped him across the face, crying, "You do not love me any more!" A. youngster's favorite uncle, unwed at thirty-five, finally succumbed to the allure of a trim young miss. A week before the weddingr the youngster asked his mother, "They give them everything they want to eat the last day, don't they?" Eugene Field once told how a large group of Illinois legislators were vacation-bound on a train that waa held up by bandits. "After relieving the bandits of their cash and watches," con eluded Field, "the legislators proceeded on their Journey with increased enthusiasm and jole de vivre." O IMS, by Bennett Cerf.

SUPREME COURT MEETS WASHINGTON (UPI) The Supreme Court meets briefly today to hand down orders be fore adjourning for its first two-week recess of the current term. By AL KL'ETTNER United Press International At first glance, it looked as though Louisiana District Judge John R. Rarick might have in vited deep trouble with his de cision to ignore a fed eral court order which pro tected civil rights demonstr tors in the town of Clinton, La. Such was not the case. For the pre,jnt, at least, the judge's action is being ignored in the U. S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals which has jurisdiction in the case. The case, however, inevitably will develop into another major confrontation between state and federal authority. Rarick, who dramatically stood among flags and said "God save the state of Louisi ana" as he announced his de cision, told a courtroom crowd in Clinton that the federal court was without authority to inter vene in the town s racial case. Renews Restraining Order Rarick bluntly renewed a temporary restraining order against the Congress oi Racial Equality (CORE). In that or der, Rarick had enjoined CORE from participationg in further racial demonstrations in Clin ton. The organization's attorneys had taken their case into fed eral court where they obtained a 10-day stay or stoppage of the state injunction. Earlier this week, the court of appeals ordered an indefinite extension of the stay. Under t h e federal court action, Clinton officials were effectively prevented from go ing ahead with a trial of civil rights demonstrators already arrested and from handing out suDpoenas to witnesses in the trials. Now, what happens? Competent federal court sources in Atlanta say that the court of appeals will pay no at tention to Rarick's action in ex tending his injunction. Watches State Action However, should any efforts be made to go ahead with the state trial or subpoena witnes ses for it during the life of the federal stay, then the appellate court would "take notice" quickly. Another act that would preci pitate federal contempt action would be for new arrests to be made in Clinton's civil rights fuss. 1 In a hearing in Atlanta this week, federal jurists informed Clinton attorney Van Buskirk that they were not trying to in terfere with normal arrests in the town. But the judges did not spell out what arrests they would consider "routine" and which would be construed as Romney Says He Won't Be Candidate NEW YORK (UPI) Michi gan's Republican governor, Geo rge Romney, said Saturday he has a "commitment" to serve in Lansing and therefore "will not be a candidate for national office in 1964." "This is not a pose," Romney 1 said. "This is my position." j "There is no circumstancn that I can think of in which I would be a candidate," the for mer president of American Mo tors Corp., said.

In all likelihood, one of the first things the jurists would decide in new arrests would be the reason for the arrests. Thus did the rural Louisiana town of Clinton become once more the focal point for import ant decision in the spreading civil rights case. As the cases spilled over con tinuously into the federal courts judges and their staffs were working overtime to keep up with the backlog. Three sepa rate cases from Georgia and Mississippi were heard among nine cases on the calendar of the 5th Circuit Court in Atlanta.
