TAGE 2 A HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 1958 Recession Recovery Not Over, But Recovery Due WASHINGTON (AP)-Ts the re cession over? Not yet, by a good many months. But the recovery definitely Is in prospect, government economists believe, and so far it has been stronger and clearer than they had expected. One White House adviser now expects total national output to re gain its prereccssion rate about 445V4 billion dollars a year around the turn of the year. Some others, it should be noted, foresee a slower climb. But there is a growing disposition to believe the recession will be over this winter or next spring, in the sense that the business barometers by then will be back to last sum mer's historic peaks. Even that will not mean a full employment economy. At least a year and a half of economic growth will have been lost the growth that is necessary to ab sorb the steady increase in the size of the labor force. Also, productivity, or the rate of output per man, will have risen co that fewer workers will be needed to produce the same vol ume of goods and services. For both those reasons unem ployment is expected to remain high for some time after business activity begins to establish new records. "It's possible we'll see full em ployment again by the middle of 19d9, or pernaps by the third quar ter," said one top administration adviser privately. It is conceded that all forecasts may have to "be revised if the United States becomes more deeply Involved in military opera tions in the Middle Last. But bar ring a shooting war, the rate of military buildup is not expected to accelerate sharply. Some metal prices have risen, hut the general reaction to the Middle Last crisis has been one of calm and restraint. The business upturn has been stronger than almost any govern ment official had been predicting. "Even the optimists have been surprised at the actual rate of pickup," one ranking economist said. Many had expected July to pro vide a major test. It is tradition ally a month of "lull" and, in some industries, of mass vacations. Though most of the July statis tics are not yet in, it already is obvious that there was little if any letdown. April apparently was the bottom month of the recession, and the rebound in May and June was ro bust: business has been recover ing even more rapidly than it slumped earlier in the year. However, a relapse would not be surprising. In the two previous postwar recessions, especially that of 1949, there were brief sags in industrial production, personal in come and factory orders after the recovery apparently had begun. Since the end of World War II the U.S. Army has increased the technical school programs avail able to recruits to about 150. Boy Disappears, But Dad Locates Him In Car Trunk GREENSBORO. N.C.

Hag crty said there was no particular reason (or the President nnt omn to his Gettysburg. Pa. farm as the Ft. Jackson commander. Brig. Gen. Christian Clarke, about the incident and that he was "most sympathetic." "The general assured me, Brinsmade said, "that the idea of1 giving the shots and then sending the boys out to drill right away would be discontinued in hot weather." Young Brinsmade died last night in the base hospital. "I don't blame anyone," the father said, "but it does seem funny that this should happen to sucn a strong Doy. "I hope my son's death puts an end to that crazy Army business of giving a boy booster shots and then having him drill under a hot sun." Earlier, Clarke issued an order calling for less strenuous drill activity during the hot weather. Temperatures the past few days have hovered near 100 degrees. Brinsmade, his wife and a daughter rushed to the boy's bed side after they were notified of his collapse. He said the youth never regained consciousness. Davis L. Drake of Baltimore, another trainee, also collapsed from the heat Wednesday. He was in serious condition at the hospi A base spokesman said that both Brinsmade and Drake col lapsed after duty hours. Almond Crop Sale Asked SACRAMENTO (AP)-The Al mond Control Board has recom mended to the secretary of agri culture that the federal govern ment declare the entire California almond crop salable. The crop is estimated at 27 million pounds. The board unanimously adopted the resolution. A board member said the action was based on the opinion that grower prices will equal or exceed parity. The June 15 parity price for almonds in the shell was S62a a ton. The board adopted a 1958-59 budget of $33,000. That will mean an assessment for growers of 17 cents per hundredweight on shelled nuts, or about $1.70 per inshell ton. The board re-elected Chairman Benjamin F. Goodwin of Manteca and Vice Chairman C. Irvin Jones of Durham. Missile Shot Test Slowed CAPE CANAVERAL. Fla. (AP) The Air Force ran into tech nical troubles again in its latest attempt to shoot a 1,500-mile Thor ballistic missile. The postponement of the launch ing yesterday followed in the wake of an Atlas intercontinental ballis tic missile scrub earlier in the week. . The Air Force said both mis siles would be rescheduled for fir ing at an early date. The last launchings of both the Thor and the Atlas ended abrupt ly with blowups shortly after take off. The Thor, a 65-foot war weapon developed by Douglas Air Co., is expected to be operational by December. The first units will be assigned to the Royal Air Force in England. Train Derails, Injuring 53 MILWAUKEE (AP) A speed ing cross-country streamliner sud denly began to rock and sway and in a matter of moments 11 cars careened off the rails, injuring 53 of its 497 passengers. The last six cars of the Milwau kee Road Olympian Hiawatha whiplashed off the tracks and slid down a 20-foot embankment as the train raced into southern Milwau kee County at 90 miles an hour. About 1,000 feet ahead, the diesel powered engine ground to a stop, five more cars tilting off the rails. All the cars remained upright. Head brakeman E. C. Holden, 34, said, "The train just started to shake. The 13th car went into the ditch and everything followed. The rest of the train just wriggled and bumped along." A small fire started in one of the derailed cars but was put out quickly as emergency vehicles Irom six communities converged on the wreck scene in the quiet farm countryside. Fifteen ambulances conveyed the injured to four hospitals. Au thorities said most of the injuries were minor. The four-unit diesel and remain ing cars went on to Milwaukee, where six more cars were added to provide accommodations for the uninjured. The train was bound from Chicago to Seattle, Wash. The cause of the wreck was undetermined. VERDUN. France (AP) Wayne I Powers, the timid GI who hid in his French common-law wife's house for 14 years after disappear ing during the war, went on trial for desertion before an eight-man military court today. The trial was half an hour late starting because Yvelte Beleuse, who sheltered Powers, insisted on giving their five children a good breakfast before bringing them to court as possible witnesses. The defense attorneys Lt. James Singleton, Detroit, and Lt. Leon Avakian, Newton, Mass. expressed belief that Powers would get off with a light sen tence. The maximum is death. The 37-year-old defendant him self said: "If all goes as it should, I hope to be back home In a month or two." Powers is a native of Chillicothe, Mo., but home is Yvette's house in the village of Mont D'Origny, near the Belgian border. Powers' strange tale started In Observers Spot Four Satellites WINNIPEG (AP)-The Royal Astronomical Society of Winnipeg today claimed another new North American record for artificial satellite sightings four in one night. A spokesman for the group said the nose cone of the rocket that boosted Russia's Sputnik III into orbit was spotted on the night of July 29 at 11:45 p. m., 1:02 a.m., 2:46 a. m. and 4:35 a. m. The old record of three sight ings in one night also was held by the local society, which oper ates the northernmost station re porting satellite paths over the continent. The new mark was submitted to the U. S. Naval Lab oratory in Washington, which rec ognized the old one.

Monday thru Saturday Pham TU 2-2772 Government Seeks Discs WASHINGTON ' (AP)-The gov- ernment appealed today for help in locating and preserving half a million bronze discs 3Vi inches in diameter. They're scattered all over the countryside. The discs are imbedded in con crete or rock and represent sur vey marks which are the basis for making and engineering measurements. At least 1,100 of these marks disappear each year, the Coast and Geodetic Survey reported. The discs cost only 72 cents each but the Survey figures it spends $40 to $65 to do all the survey ing necessary to put in place an ordinary bench mark, one which gives the elevation at a given point. Another type is the triangulation station mark which gives precise latitude and longitude. These cost $1,500 or more in remote regions. Vandals and souvenir hunters make off with some of the discs. But the Survey said most of the marks vanish in the course of road construction work. Each of the bronze discs carries this legend: "$250 fine or impris onment lor disturbing this mark. Dominicans Down Plane NEW YORK (AP)-A U. S. Navy transport plane was report ed forced down yesterday by fight ers of the Dominican Republic's air force. The plane was released after being searched and held for an hour in Santiago, on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. The Dominicans were reported looking for smuggled arms but there was no immediate explana tion why they went after a clearly marked u. s. military plane. Ray Camay of radio station KIOA in Des Moines. Iowa, tele phoned the news from the U. S. Navy base at Guantanamo. Cuba, after the plane's return. He gave this account: The plane, a twin-engine Alba tross carrying a crew of five, was returning to Guantanamo after delivering a Navy athletic team to ban Juan. P. R. Near Santiago it was intercept ed by three F5ls of the Dominican air force and forced to land at Santiago, lt was kept there for about an hour, then allowed to proceed on to Cuba. None of the five crewmen were harmed and nothing was taken. Naval authorities at Guanta namo base had no immediate comment on the incident but in dicated a statement would be is sued later today. FIRST SHIP ARRIVES LONDON (UPI) Moscow Radio reported today "the first ship flying the flag of the United Arab Republic has arrived in Leningrad. The ship was identi fied as the 7.000-ton Al Mokattam and was said to have catried a cargo of cotton to the Soviet Union. Heard the news? Guess who's coming back to Klamath Falls? 1944, when he was 23 and a pri vate first class driving a truck with the Army in France. His truck disappeared and he faced court-martial. Powers escaped from the Army stockade and went for help and solace to Yvette, whom he had met before. That was the begin ning of a bizarre life which con tinued for 14 years. They settled down together with. out marrying. (Powers had a wife in Missouri who later divorced him for desertion). Yvette went out to work in a textile mill to support their growing family; Powers stayed home to do the housework. He ventured out only at night. When the doorbell rang, he ran to a cramped hiding place under a stairway with a false step. The villagers saw almost noth ing of Powers but kept close track of each new baby with an English name Dorothy, Tilly: Douglas, Harry and Freddy. The neighbors maintained a close-mouthed silence in the pres ence of outsiders. But Powers was his own undoing last March. Regional gendarmes investigat ing a traffic accident in front of the house noticed Powers peeping through the front window curtains: They questioned him as the only witness, and his furtive behavior aroused suspicion. Investigation turned up evidence that he was sought as a desertert On March 22 he was taken and handed in to a U. S. Army prison. Powers became a cause celebra in France, which overflows with sympathy for affairs of the heart. After a radio appeal, 100,009 Frenchmen flooded the U. S. Em bassy in Paris with letters de manding a lenient judgment for a man who was faithful to one wom an if not to the Army. Why did he do it? Powers said after his arrest: "I was afraid of the result if I turned myself over to the embassy. I was scared for the children. I was waiting for I don't know exactly what." "Why don't they leave him alone?" asked Yvette. "He's al ready served 14 years in prison. He's so frightened, so very frightened." Doctors Fail To Save Boy LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) A youth who received a kidney from his twin brother in a rare oper ation died last night. Doctors discovered last year that Leon Masden, 20, of nearby Shepherdsville had diseased kid neys. They gave him only a month or so to live. There was one chance, however, and the family took it. Leon re ceived a kidney transplant from his twin Leonard at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, Boston, in June 1957. Leon's diseased kidneys later were removed. Physicians said his death was caused by disease in the transplanted kidney. j NEW j ; GUITARS I; $14.50 ; '. ARMSTRONG MUSIC STORE I, 2320 S. 6lh TU 3-8223 ! .MAILMAN RETIRES PARIS, Tenn.
