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."

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.

coming under the state court
injunction.
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.
