ProspectsSeen
For New Pickup
After Easter
By WALTER BREEDE, Jr.
Associated Press Business Writer


NEW YORK, Mar. 81 (P).-
Prospects of a Easter pickup
frightened the business scene
this week. Heavy industry and
heavy construction were expected
to set the trend.
The Labor Department said
hiring of factory and construc-
ton workers would rise briskly
in the next few weeks in all but
10 of l49 major labor areas.
There were indications that by
summer, the nations employ
ment total might break through
last years record high of 65.5
million.
Consumer confidence showed
up in a fast-paced Easter shop
ping surge that broke records
despite bad weather. Dun &
Bradstreet estimated that record
spending on Easter merchandise
pushed total retail trade for
March to S15.6 billion, UP s per
cent from a year ago.
In the invetnory-burdened
auto industry there were signs
this week that production and
sales were finally coming into
balance Advance estimates indi-
Gated that dealers new car sales
in March would just about match
the industry's production of
$4,000.

NEW YORK, Mar. 31.-The
stock market brushed off a mild
this week and advanced
to within a shade of new high.
Prof1t-taking just before the
three-day Easter recess cut
strong gains back substantially.
The Associated Press average
on the week fell 10 cents to close
at $4,000, a dime under the
record high established last Fri
day.
The markets week was COM
posed of almost equal parts of
profit taking, speculation, and

at various times.

In 80 to 40 days. a group OF
highly informed women will
travel to Washington for a 3-day
conference with the nations
housing authorities on the good
and bad features of modern
house design.
This will be the first time
housing officials have tried to
find out what's a fad and what's
a fundamental improvement in
the modern home.
The delegates will be house
wives selected by letters they
write to Housing Administrator
Albert NJ. Cole. AS Mr.. Cole put
it to me. I'VE are appealing to
the housewives of America for
this vital information on how
today's home can be improved
because they are the ones closest
to the home and most likely TO
provide us with the down-to-
earth facts that have to be as
sembled."
Since World War II, over 10
million American houses have
been built, involving an invest
ment of over Sl00 billion.
Heavy Investment
In the next decade at least
500 billion more will be invested
in new homes. and, emphasizes
Mr.. Cole grimly. The Govern
ment does not propose to be
partner to a $500 billion mis-
take
The report on the approaching
conference, Mr.. Cole hopes, well
may help the Government over
haul the minimum property re-
quirements" on which 1t bases
Government insurance of mort
cages.
IL would be utter madness for
any home buyer, banker or
builder to shrug off the fact that
the housing market has now
passed into a new cycle--a cycle
in which there is no despera-
ton to the demand and in
which the desire of families for
better housing will be the domi-
nant force.
Mr.. Cole is acutely aware of
this. and as he says, The house
that does not take today's new
patterns for living into account
will be obsolete before it is old
Or even middle-aged."

Balkan Powers
IReViveA|Iiance

BELGRADE. Yugoslavia. Dec.
6 R.-The three-power Balkan
alliance. virtually paralyzed by
the Greek Turkish dispute over
Cyprus. is showing strong signs
of revival.
Vice President Edward Kardelj
of Yugoslavia, third member Of
the pact, has promised to pro-
mote the revival. He told visit
ing Greek Premier Konstantin
KaramanliS at reception yes
terday that Yugoslavia wants to
aid Greek Turkish understand
ing (which must restore the be-
lief in the usefulness and eff
cheney of the tripartite cooper
alton"
Other signs pointed in the
same direction. Informed sources
said Greece and Turkey were re-
ported ready to bury their diff
ferences because of the tension
in the Middle East and Soviet
penetration of that area.
Greece is supporting the de-
mands Of the Greek majority on
Cyprus, British colonial island in
the Eastern Mediterranean, for
political union with Greece. Tur-
key backs the islands Turkish
minority in opposing the move.
Another factor contributing to
the restoration of the alliance
is the Balkan tension over re-
ported Russian military moves in
Romania and Bulgaria in the
wake of the Soviet-crushed Hun
garian revolt.
The Yugoslav-Greek talks here
are viewed as a first step in
Tightening relations within the
alliance. While still not overly
cordial toward Turkey, Greece is
still loyal to the Balkan pact,
Mr.. KaramanliS said here that
Greece is not to be blamed for
the languishing of the agree
ment. He blamed Turkey for not
showing "the necessary spirit of
the alliance"

recovered the flag and plans to
send it to the Budapest Work

The council today received

His government is striving to

Gomulka is still making fer
vently Communist pronounce

Ireassure the Kremlin. Other
elements in Poland continue to
express friendly sentiments for
the United States.
Earlier this week the State
Department even found it nee

The department explained the

The ,irhpasSioned demonstra-

groups Of women massing in the
streets to mourn the victims of
the October November revolt.
Soviet tanks and Hungarian
police and soldiers roughly broke

Reliable witnesses also report
