Federal Bonds Push
To New High Levels;
Corporates Steady
By WoIter Bussewitz
Associated Pres. FinoneiaI Writer

NEW YORK. April 10.-Gov-
eminent bonds pushed to new
record high levels this week while
corporate issues followed a steady
course.
Treasury obligations moved
upward until late in the week
when prof1t-taking erased a
small portion of the gains. At
the height of the climb, the 30
year 3H4s and several short-tenn
bonds touched all-tirne highs
while intermediates recorded
peaks for 1854. Some observers
attributed the rise to the wide
spread belief that the Govern
ment will not bring out big
long-term issue in the immediate
future.
Despite a fractional loss Fri

last week at 100 2O/32 bid. The

1861 advanced 1882 during the
week to 102 1882 bid.
Foreign liens were active and
cratic. German bonds were
higher, largely due to strong
showings on Friday. japanese

Encouraging Trends
Appear in Several
Key Business Areas
By Walter Breede, Jr.
Associated Press Business Writer

," NEW YORK, April 10.-Busi-
nessmen looking for signs OF an
upturn could have spotted en-
couraging trends in several key
areas Of the economy this week.
They included steel, automobiles,
farm machinery, retailing and
construction.
Two major steel producers in
the Cleveland area said they were
relighting banked furnaces be-
cause of pickup in new orders.
That's just the tonic the indus
Try needs. It has been limping
dong (this weeks scheduled
output. 100000 tons) at the
depressed levels of 1949-50.
From Detroit came even bet
ter news: Sales of new cars dur
ing March climbed to 493 900
the highest in five months. And,
said dealers, the used-car bottle
neck seems to have been cracked.
Retail store sales moved ahead
this week. A "perceptible rise"
was reported by Dun & Brad
street. Federal excise tax cuts
helped; so did the approach of
Easter. But volume was still
substantially under the high
level of a year ago when Easter
was two weeks earlier.
Construction industry statistics
made pleasant reading. The
Commerce Department reported
that firSt-quarter spending on
new construction scared to a
record $7.25 billion dollars.
All was not beer and skittles,
however. David j. Mcdonald,
president of the CIO United
Steelworkers, said 10000 mem
bers of the steel union are out Of
work. The head of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and
Engineermen reported one out Of
every eight railroad f1remen I'M
employed.

est in the business. voted to SUI

swing right into another great
upsurge. Rather, the majority
belief is that we're into a "f1at-
tening-out" phase which-with
seasonal ups and downs-may
last for some time. The predic-
ton is that barring an upheaval
abroad. our economy will bump
along at these levels for a while.
A minority is more pessimistic,
insists that all We'll witness in
the next few months is the usual
seasonal revival and after that,
we'll start sagging again.
In the last 10 days, I've per-
sonally queried dozens of key
men in business. finance. Gov
eminent; I've dug through a
foot-high pile of economic sur
veys and privately circulated
business analyses. The opening
sentence summarizes the opin-
ions.
It's spring and there's always
a pickup in spring. But the in
creasing optimism is based on
more than this. For instance
/. Building is moving along at
a pace surprising the forecasts
of only few months ago. In
March, construction hit a new
record rate: latest statistics sug-
gest at least a million homes
will go up this year. Spending
on repair and modernization of
houses also is expanding rapidly.
2. Businessmen are maintain
ing their spending on new plants
and equipment-a great prop.
Official surveys indicate indus
try's spending on expansion this
year will be- only 4 per cent
under 1885 fabulous peak.

Women have a very personal
stake in preserving life on the
highways.
That will be a keynote of the
meetings to be held this week

Highway Safety.
The conference will take place
Wednesday through Friday. with
general sessions to be held in the

than $50 women, representing al
most as.many organizations, are
expected to be among the dele
gates.
Mrs. Raymond Sayre of Ack-
worth, Iowa, is chairman of the
women's group-one of seven
sections.
"Of all people concerned with
the problem, women have the
most to gain by accident reduc-
tion," she said in a statement
issued yesterday.
LAS wage earnerS, the eco

LAS homemakers. their serv-

economic problem and the re-
sponsibility for long months of
care and the assumption of
family support.
Most pathetic of all is the
consequence to the future of our
country when children are
manned or killed because of
driver carelessness or lack of
proper training in precautions on
streets and highways"
