Troubles Emphasized By By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (AP)-The trou bled times emphasized hy Presi dent Kennedy in his speech to the United Nations still haven t rut fled noticeably U.S. business plan ning on the world scene. Private investment dollars are still pouring abroad. And sales of foreign branches of U.S. firms arc rising faster than exports ol goods produced here. Both the foreign host nations and the American corporations do ing the investing are reported still happy on the whole. Gains in friendly lands, such as in Western Europe, have more than offset losses in unfriendly ones, such as Cuba. Two top executives of the U.S. oil industry which has been hav ing a bit more than its share of troubles of late take a look at different aspects of foreign in vestments. One stresses the outpouring nl U.S. government aid and the ris ing competition of foreign prod ucts here. The other reminds the host nations that while U.S. in - vestments abroad are reaping harvests of sales and earnings, the foreign lands are gaining too, and in more ways than one. SUPERVISORS' FORUM visors met with an industrial consultant In Kleg'ath rails last week for a forum ses- ( jion. The car visited every one of Southern Pacific's installations in the west, an SP Qpolresman said, and allowed supervisors to work on their mutual problems over the conference table. This Is the ncona ytar in the program for Southern Pacific. mis structure ot metal and The second view is expounded by M. J. Rathbone, president oflof Jersey Standard Oil, in Buenos Aires for the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Jersey's affili ate in Argentina. The American reminds the Ar gentine government that until a few years ago it was spending over a quarter of a billion dollars a year in foreign exchange to pay for oil imports. Then it started welcoming U.S. capital for explor ation and development. By the end of this year, Argentina should be self-sufficient in oil for the first time in its modern history. "Many countries," Rathbone! points out, "have found that ar rangements with private oil com panies give them a stake in one of the world's biggest gambles en tirely without capital cost to the country. Another side of American in volvcment abroad is taken up by John E. Swearingen, president of Indiana Standard Oil. Speaking in Fort Worth to the Texas Mid-Continent Oil & Gas Association on the impact of government on business, he takes a look at U.S. govern- social ion estimates. About 40 per ment assistance to other lands, cent of the revenue goes to help "From Julv 1. 1945. to June 30.pay the cost of traffic law en- 19rt), the United States made avail- able to foreign nations a sum ofiriety of municipal purposes Held in a converted railway I concrete is rising along Kennedy Plans nearly $86 billion in various types' foreign assistance, grants and loans," Swearingen notes. Even after ail types of repay ment and returns of grants have been considered, by June 30, 1962, our net foreign assistance pro gram will represent the astronom ical sum of $86.5 billion," he said Then he notes one prospect on which the oil industry has had a good foretaste Soviet competi-l tion. The oilman warns that "as the years go by, the American economy will be forced to com pete with the state-controlled econ omy of the Soviet Union in many areas of the world." Swearingen pleads for less gov- ernment interference with private business so that it can grow and expand to be strong enough, for one thing, to beat off increasing boviet competition.

Granville of E. F. Hutton 4 Co. says the current decline has the type of technical pattern which precedes important corrections and not the brief profit-taking in ierruptions in a bull market.

Bache ft Co. tells clients that considering the fact the decline of recent days has been practical ly a straight line drop, it would not be surprising to see a snarp technical rebound at any time in the immediate future. , v( 4 ft, " - k v. t Northwest Building Improving ror the second consecutive month building volume in the Pa cilic Northwest s 68 key cities showed encouraging signs of im provement.
