Prices of many stocks are many times their present earnings per share a higher ratio than many market consellors think healthy, judging by past performances of this market. The hull notes the sizable list of companies reporting their earn ings in the last three months were much better than in the fjrst three months of the year. He deduces that the recession hit bottom about the time of the spring equinox and that the mild rebound in late spring will gain bounce in the fall. The bull siezes on signs that consumers are spending a bit more now than in the uncertain days of late winter, that increased defense spending ,is beginnig to show, that industrial output rose in June and - the factory work week lengthened. To the cautious this adds up to an end of the recession and not necessarily to a reason for a re newed bull market in stocks. But the bull sccnls renewed in flation born of world tension and federal deficits. He expects busi ness to react enthusiastically. And that could be why you see bulls pushing The Associated Press average of 60 stocks to .183, just five points below its year ago level, just six - points below the record high of July 12, 1957 and a spanking 32 points above its level at the start of this year. Confident Hulls By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (AP) - The bulls are sniffing inflation ahead and are confident that the turn in bust ness Is here. That is why last week they bid up stock prices al most to the record high of a year ate. In doing this they are putting their own interpretation on the Middle East crisis and on the ef fects of a possible visit of Khrush chev to these shores. Corporate earnings statements for the first half nf the year also look different to the bulls than to the bears. In fact the bulls are ignoring the numerous bears, whose betting on a further shake out in the market Is shown by a record volume of short selling 'making a sales contract now in belief the stock can be bought later at a lower price to fulfill the contract at a profit). The bulls also think the inven lory trend is turning from dras tic paring of stocks to inquiries and actual orders that herald a rebuilding of stocks in the near future with the Middle East play- in; a large role. The bulls hold that the Middle East crisis Is to he a war of nerves instead of bullets. This would support many of the forces making tor further inflalinn: in creased spending (or delense. larger federal deficits, a higher debt ceiling. In other words, the government ill he pumping more money into the economy hy deficit spending than it will' be taking out by lax collections. Rusiness usually reacts to this by a spurt of activity on its own. Inflation has another built in booster. This Is the automatic rise In some wage scales, and the prospects of pay hikes in other In dustries prospects which in creased world tension and Infla tion of the monetary system make all the stronger. Corporate earnings reports can be interpreted differently, depend ing on whether you're a hull or a bear. The bear sees that in seneral corporate earning are well he- the second quarter after hitting a recession low in the ifrst quarter. Personal spending has reversed its downward trend and headed upward, the department of com merce reported. That the county is heading out of the trough of the business cy cle, or already has done so, seems reasonably clear. There is no way of telling how long the upturn will continue or whether it will get back to the previous peak. Nor mally, it does. Optimistic By WILLIAM FERRIS AP Business News Writer NEW YORK (AP)-An air of optimism is sweeping over the business scene. It has firm sta tistical backing. Business is im proving, and is doing so at a time of year when It ordinarily does not. Changes in economic conditions are not difficult to recognize, but often, they are difficult to accept. This certainly was true last sum mer. The obviously deepening eco nomic deterioration at that time was rejected by people condi tioned to uninterrupted expan sion. A similar situation, but in re verse, undoubtedly exists to some extent now. The tendency of many will be to reject this week's com ments of Dr. Gabriel Hauge, eco nomic adviser to President Eisen hower. Dr. Hauge said: "In my opinion the recession Is ended. I think we're on our way to a good period of rising activ ity." Additional statistical Informa tion arose this week to support Dr. Hauge's position. Moreover, government action indicated an acceleration of the upward trend regardless of the outcome of the United Nations summit confer ence on the Middle East. Various government agencies are pouring out money at a rate to give a banker apoplexy. Defense contracts mount each week and the Senate Appropriations Com mittee this week increased the amount President Eisenhower has requested for defense in the next 12 months. Farmers will get nearly Hi bil lion dollars from the government this year, the largest sum on rec ord, partly for retiring crop land. In June the Bureau of Public Roads' contract awards (or the big national highway program doubled the awards of May. The federal deficit in the fiscal year just ended was larger than expected while the outlook for the current fiscal year, Just started, is such that Treasury Secretary An derson will ask Congress next week to increase the national debt. Deficits are Inflationary. The council of economic advis ers this week announced the gross national product advanced during army adjacent to the Turkish frontier and started alleging that Turkey intended to attack Iraq. No specific plans have been dis closed for offsetting Iraq's loss to the pact. It seems possible Dulles may make some dramatic propos al. In any event, Allied METO policy must be radically altered. Foreign IVews By CHARLES M. McCANN UPI Foreign News Analyst The future of the Middle East ern Treaty Organization is likely to he decided in London this week. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles is in London to confer with the four active members of the alliance Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and Great Britain. Iraq, the fifth member, is not expected to attend. The revolution in that country, the only Arab member, apparently makes it cer tain that it will withdraw from the pact. The loss of Iraq is a severe blow to the members of the al liance, and to the United States which sponsored it But Turkey, Iran and Pakistan have announced they intend not only to maintain the alliance but to strengthen it. To his end, Turkey and Paki stan urgently want the United States to become a full member. This, dispatches from Washing- Ion say, the United States will not do. The United States has joined the military, anti-subversion and eco nomic committees of the pact. It has refused to take full member ship largely because President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic detests it. Nasser takes the stand that the alliance weakened Arab unity, because Iraq joined it. Actually, what he meant by unity was that it im peded his own ambition to seize the mastery of the Arab world. Dulles sponsored the alliance. He did so to complete a chain of alliances against Soviet aggression which extends from Arctic Nor way through Western Europe and Western Asia to the Far East The METO alliance was signed in Baghdad, Iraq, in 1955. It pro vides not only for military coop eration but for cooperation in fighting Communist subversion and In economic affairs. Iraq joined the alliance despite Nasser's bitter protests. Though he failed to keep Iraq out, he did succeed In keeping Jordan from joining it. The METO alliance has been known as the Baghdad Pact be cause it was signed there, and its headquarters have been main tained in that capital Multiple llirtli By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. The subject of multiple human births is always fascinating, and when five children are born at one time it becomes international news. Statistics show the greatest fre quency of multiple births is among Negroes and the lowest among Mongols. In the United Stales the inci dence nf quadruplets is once in about 570,000 among whites, and once in some 237,000 among col ored. Triplets in whites occur once in 9.828 births and in colored once in 5.631. A similar situation exists for twins, which appear once in 73.8 colored births and once in 92.4 white births. It appears that age also enters into the picture. It is curious that women under 20 have twins only six times in 1,000, while women 35 to 39 have 17 sets of twins for every 1,000 births. One can gather from these fig ures that the chances of giving birth to three or more children at the same time are rather re mote, but that twinning is rela tively common. There are tvo kinds of twins. Fraternal twins are the result of fertilization of two eggs. Such twins may be of the same or of opposite sex. Except for having identical birthdays, they may be as different from each other as any other brothers or sisters, both physically and men tally. Identical twins are the result of the fertilization of a single egg which later divides. Identical twins are always of the same sex and are much alike in both physical and mental charac teristics. One twin is really the mirror image of the other. There are apparently about one-fourth as many identical twins as there are fraternal twins. Twins are neither superior nor inferior to other people. It is not true that twins are less fertile than persons born singly. The mental and physical development of identical twins is, however, much alike. There is a tendency for twins and other multiple children to be born prematurely. This means that they are comparatively poorly devel oped at the time of birth and therefore have a decreased chance of living past infancy. This is true also for other multiple births. births. Many fraternal and identical It can hardly be called the Baghdad Pact any longer, how-! twins grow up. Indeed, there are ever, and its headquarters most probably will be shifted to Anka ra, Turkey. But the secret documents of the pact on military strategy and tactics and on Communist subver sion will not "be shifted. The Iraqi rebels seized them. The best that can he hoped is that they will not go eventually to Russia. The Iraqi revolt was a great victory not only for Nasser but for Russia. The revolt itself effectively re moved one member from the pact. The Soviet government at once started to work on weakening it further. Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi of Iran was invited to vis it Russia, in obvious hope that Iran's part in the alliance might be weakened. The Kremlin knew It could not seduce Turkey. So it put a big a considerable number of triplets and some quadruplets who have reached full maturity. Doubtless more and more will do so now that so much has been learned about infant and child care and the hazards of infectious disease during childhood have been so greatly reduced. The higher death rate at or soon after birth, however, explains why one sees fewer twins, triplets or quadruplets than the birth statis tics would lead one to expect.

After that, the body of the 30- year-old Air Force officer will ba taken to Arlington National Cem etery in the nation's capital for burial with military honors.

Investigators said the expert air man had turned his plane upside down as fliers must when eject ing downward from the F104 but he was too low to the ground. His parachute had not opened fully when he hit. Death of the young captain, vet eran of 101 missions in Korea and his country's 10th jet ace, was de scribed by the Air Force as a "terrific blow" to the program to penetrate space in a manned rock et ship. Early next year, Kincheloe was to have taken the X15, a North American experimental plane, across the threshold of space.
