Business News Improves Faster Than Anticipated By F.LMER C. WAI.ZER IP! Financial Editor NEW YORK ill'!' Business news is improving niore rapidly than many of the experts had anticipated. To Wall Street this proves that he stock market has been cor rect in its recent rise which was supposed to have been discount ing just such a business recovery ihe stock market has ignored the day to day business news and this leads Sidney B. Lurie, re search expert for Josephthal & Co. to remark that "no one buys the averages and stock prices are made by factors other than statistics. Now that the statistics are im proving will the market go down to reverse the trend requires a change in psychology stemming irom disillusionment, says Ltirie He notes there are none of the financial stresses and strains that are common to difficult periods, savings are increasing, and the pension funds and mutual funds till are big sources of security demand. This market, he savs is a oc- cuhar animal, "that has its own habits no set pattern of be havior. ' i his basic trait of non-con formance has been accentuated by a sophisticated buying inter estand a recession economy in which there are islands of prosperity. As a result, generalizations can be meaningless. For example it's probably true that the mar ket as a whole lacks really dy namic upside possibilities from here out. But equally important. there are individual success sto ries to whet the speculative appe- mp ana me downside risks have not become all inclusive. This would require a change in specu lative psychology stemmine from disillusionment or shock. Such disillusionment might oc cur later in the year, he admits Speculative emphasis could change from relief regarding in oustry s anility to recover to a question of the level of corporate earning power possible under the present scheme of things. "Once the momentum is lost," Lurie says, "fear of our high cost economy's ability to compete in world markets may revive. But he would steer away from a "do-nothing" policy. There are many favorable situations devel oping and many here already. And, he points out as a clincher, the strongest of all the market's seasonal patterns that of the lummer rally now is underway. In the past 25 years, the Mav high almost always was exceeded sometime during the three months following. "Obviously," he concludes, "re action always is a possibility, but the stage does not appear to have Been set lor a major collapse. As for the business news. there's a bigger than expected rise in steel operations, improve ment in the unemployment fig ures, firmer copper and textile prices, belter construction figures, including housing, prospect of continued ease in money with an other cut foreseen in the dis count rate, better gasoline sales helping work off heavy inventor ies, people paying off their car installment loans, and for those who want inflationary news a possible early second rise in the debt limit.

Wheat Control Proposal Sought By Farmers Union WASHINGTON (AP) - The National Farmers Union wants to make an upcoming relerendum on wheat production controls a test ol farmer views on future farm policies.

The Farmers Union says in its magazine inat observers predict that the size of the yes vote will be watched by Congress as a ba rometer of farm feeling about farm prog.ams.

And the prob lems of logistics, personnel and time topped anything that was dreamed of 95 years ago. The show's production office had to consider and solve for the purposes of the story all the difficulties that faced the wag on trains of that day. This was the easy part. Because then came the problem of finding good scripts. When the series was be gun, in May 1957, there wasn't a single script which could be adapt ed to our format. Each of the 39 stories presented during the sea son was written especially for Wagon Train. The newness of the format, that is, featuring Robert Horton and myself in alternating episodes, with each story built around a name guest star, required not only unusual stories, but a special style of writing. At least half of every Wagon Train episode was shot on loca tion. Most of them were filmed in the vicinity of Thousand Oaks, Calif., about 40 miles from Holly wood. Others were made at more distant sites, with three filmed in the desert near Tucson. Ariz. Every day's shooting on loca tion created tremendous prob lems. First, there was the risk of bad weather. Sites had to be se lected for each scene that resem bled terrain the wagon train was upposed to be passing through. Then the exact amount of equip ment, horses, other livestock. props, costum.es and the thousand and one things necessary to fill picture had to be ordered and transported each morning to the snooting site. Ihe personnel necessary for a day's shooting on location ranged irom 90 to 130. special provision had to be made each day for transporting and feeding the en tire company. Now that I've gotten this off my chest, I'll get ready for another season. Because regardless of the work and worry, I've never expe rienced a more exciting and self satisfying year in my life. Talks On Ban Of A-Tests Hay Start Within Month By CHARLES M. McCANN L PI Foreign .News Analyst It looks as if negotiations with Soviet Russia for a possible ban on nuclear weapons tests may be started before this month is over. A letter from Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev to President Eisenhower seems to leave the way for clear for the opening of the test ban negotiations. At the same time, negotiations for a later "summit" conference of heads of governments on cold war issues are proceeding secret ly in Moscow. Eisenhower told Khrushchev on May 24 that he was iready to start technical talks on the test ban within three weeks after re- School Plans Graduation DL'NSMUIR Fifty seniors will be graduated from Dunsmuir High School at graduation ceremonies at the school auditorium on Fri day, June 6. 8 p.m. Ray Alcouffe will be valedictori an and Mer.'e Lynch, salutatorian.

The President suggested that the experts who would engage in Ihe talks make a progress report within JO days after the start of their meeting and make a final report within 60 days or as in thereafter as possible. Khrushchev replied SatiirHn- that he was ready to start the talks within three weeks, as Ei senhower suggested. But he pro. puseu uiai me unai report be made within three or four weeks instead of within 60 days. As regards the details of (ho talks, Eisenhower suggested tiyit they be held in Geneva, Switzer land, and that experts of the United States, Britain, France and possibly other countries which have means of detecting nuclear weapons tests De included. Khrushchev said that Geneva would be a suitable meeting place but that he preferred Mos cow. He said he would like Poland and Czechoslovakia, and India and possibly some other coun tries, to be represented. . This is what Eisenhower had expected. He is most likely to propose that Japan, which is un comfortably in the middle be tween Russian tests in Siberia and American tests in the Pa cific, be included. Presumably, the next step mav be for Eisenhower to suggest a firm date for the start of the meeting and either to accept Mos cow as the meeting place or to ask again that it be Geneva. There is no guarantee that ex pert talks will result in an agree ment to end the nuclear weapons tests. Regarding the summit confer ence negotiations, the United States, British and French am bassadors in Moscow have con ferred separately with Soviet For eign Alinister Andrei A. Gromy ko on this question within the last week. There is no indication of the progress being made, if any, in hese talks. DQDRS rPEN 6:30 P.
