Slow Retail Recovery
Puzzles U. S. Experts
WASHINGTON AP) Mosti
government and private econo-
mists reject the idea that public!
fear of war and nuclear disaster
has discouraged consumer buy
ing.
Debate and discussion continue,
however, and economists are still
puzzled over the failure of retail
sales to join in the broad and
general rise of economic activity
this year.
The same period has seen inter'
national crisis piled on crisis, in
cluding the Cuban invasion fiasco,
Communist gains in Southeast
Asia, the threat of war over
Berlin, the breakdown of nuclear
test ban talks and the pall of fall
out from the new series of Soviet
nuclear explosions.
Secretary of Commerce Luther
H. Hodges and some professional
economists tie these phenomena
together. It is understandable,
Hodges told a recent news con
ference. that "because of inter
national conditions and ... a little I
fear" consumers might defer
spending for home appliances and
other big ticket items.
A similar thought was tossed
out by economist George Cline
Smith. As outgoing president of
the National Association of Busi'
Bess Economists, the New York
consulting economist told the as
sociation last month in Chicago:
- "If the economy is going to
take off for the expected highs,
consumers are going to have to
get their heads out of the fallout
shelter and act as through they
think the economy is going to last
for a while.

ered this thesis seriously. Most of
them don't endorse it. Said one:
"If we were victims of a fright
psychology, there would be
much greater slowdown than there
is.
"The recovery just hasn't yet
generated enough momentum to'
catch consumers up in it. People
are not spending for the same
reason that industry is not piling
up inventories at a boom rate,
They don't have to.
Goods are plentiful, you can
get deliveries whenever you want
them at stable prices. If (he time
comes when people suspect that
prices will rise or goods get
scarce, the consumer may start
to run.
And Dr. Emerson V. Schmidt,
research director of the United
States Chamber of Commerce,
told an interviewer he is con
vinced after talking with many
Americans that the fear theory is
mostly hokum.

Woman Sees Lost
llnbby On
By ANN LANDERS
Dear Ann Landers: Please don't
think I'm a nut. I need help1
and I don't know
where to turn
without risking
trouble.
Two years ago
my husband dis
appeared. He
had left me be
fore (other wom
en) so I waso t loo oisturoea.
He aiwavs came back alter
few weeks. About a month later
the police came to my home with
a wallet they touna on a man
whose mangled body was picked
up near the railroad tracks. The
wallet belonged to my husband.
I had a lovely funeral lor nun
and I went through the horrible
months of grieving and torturing
myself for not having been a bet
ter wife. The insurance compa
ny sent their check and I moved
to a nicer place.
Last night I was watching
sDort's event on television. The
camera turned on the spectators.
I could swear I saw my husband.
He was with a woman and they
seemed to be laughing and talk
ing.
What shall I do? I am in a
state of shock as I write this let
ter. NO NAME
Dear No Name: II Is more than
likely that the man you saw on
television was a striking double
and not your husband at all.
You should notify the police at
once, however. If It was not your
husband who was burled, the po
lice would be very much Interest
ed in finding out who he was. The
Insurance company should be noti
fied also. They will be eager to
help In the Investigation.
You have nothing to fear, re
gardless. The error (If there was
one) was not yours.
Dear Ann Landers: Our daugh
ter's wedding a few months ago
was a very happy occasion. It
was a beautiful church ceremony
and she wore the traditional while
gown.

At Seattle, Dr. Frank Neu

coffee out of my cup." Arthur
Sponce, jailer at the St. Helens
courthouse, said the building war.

In Portland, the shock lasted
only a few seconds. It rocked the

the shock centered east or west
of Portland. Ho said a fuller re

'Partnership'

SACRAMENTO. Calif. (AP)
A Kennedy administration official
said Tuesday that government

power development no longer ex

Kenneth Holum, assistant secre

ties were permitted to develop
power at federal dams.

A congressional committee has

Testimony before the final West
ern hearing of the House Interior
and Insular Affairs Committee ran
about two to one against the bill.
The measure would preserve
existing areas set aside as wilder
ness and create some new ones,
mostly in the Western states.
Commercial activity and motor
ized equipment including vehicles
and power boats would be tor-
bidden.
Cattle, mining, oil, gas and
lumber interests argued that the
bill would lock up valuable natu
ral resources and hamper the
West's economic development.

Dressed in a black overcoat and

moved slowly through tlie square
just before the parade began. An
officer in the elaborate blue and
gold uniform of the Moscow gar
rison barred his way near the
entrance to the tomb. The mar
shal argued and gesticulated
broadly. The ollicer just kept
shrugging his shoulders.
Eventually the old .marshal, a
former army commander, was
allowed to enter the tomb. There

Holum criticized the water and
power policies of former President
Eisenhower and said the preler-
ence clause for public agencies in
sale of power from federal proj
ects was under harassment for
eight years.
'We believe the natfbn's re

Earlier, the chief of the Rural

pledged financial support to rural

from "hostile" private companies.
