bubble" that many feared might
develop after an Eisenhower VIC
tory has not occurred and every
day that passes makes it less
likely it will develop.
What are the experts fretting
about? Leave out the horrible
thought of another war explo-
sion. because if the world blows
up again all bets are off. Outside
of that. they're fretting about:
Rising costs of doing business.
The costs of many materials es-
sential to production of goods
are mounting and the Middle
East crisis has intensified the
upward pressures. The costs of
manpower are climbing and the
uptrend is certain to continue
in 1857. The costs of money are
looming and this is becoming a
critical factor.
Profits Squeeze Cited
i A rising squeeze on corpora
ton profits. It's no secret that
smaller businessmen have been
in a profits squeeze, but now
even the bigger companies are
complaining about narrower
profit margins"
! The increasingly fierce COM
petition between industries and
within industries for the con-
sumer'S dollar. This year was a
fiercely competitive one in most
fields. Next year will be even
tougher" was one blunt fore
case. The failure figures won't
make pleasant reading"
/ The signs that business spend
ing for new plant and equipment
will rise at a much slower pace
than in l956-lessening one Of
the greatest props under the
prolonged postwar boom.
The 'unfavorable" cross-cur-
rents aren't strong enough to
keep most Of the crystal ball
gazers from predicting another
good year. But they'll be signifi-
cantly modest in suggesting the
rate Of 1878 rise.
The enthusiasm has been
muted. the exuberance has been
tempered. It's not pessimism--
but it is wariness.

There's a WarineSS among
businessmen about the eco
nomic outlook for 1857 which
is in sharp contrast to their
confidence and even exuberance
of a few months ago.
It's hard to pinpoint, and
often even the most informed
observers can do no more than
guess that a shift in sentiment
is taking place.
In the last several days, the
probability of a sudden shift
toward more cautious conf
dence has emerged as I've quer-
led some economists and BUSH
nessmen on their predictions
for 1857.
Despite the fact that this is
the peak selling season of the
year, despite the fact that the
overall business picture is gilt
tering. despite the fact that the
turmoil abroad has intensified
fears of worldwide imitation
they're emphasizing that:
The economy today is full of
cross-currents:
Pulling toward boom on boom
are admittedly such powerful
forces as the huge demand for
steel, the Frightening outlook
for auto sales. the rise in world
commodity prices, the sure
boost in Federal Government
spending for defense and local
government spending for public
projects.
Pause Is Possible
Simultaneously. pulling toward
a pause. a plateau" or even
a letdown at some time in
1857. though. are other poten-
TALLY strong forces:
It's by no means a cinch that
the boom forces will dominate
and 1857 will be a year Of clear
sailing:
The reelection Of President
Eisenhower was positive factor
in that business has suffered no
unexpected shock, but it scarcely
solves all the major problems OF
business--scarcely;

now using this system.
In the second and fourth re-

grades-fourth, fifth and sixth
the teacher will report the
child's achievement in each sub

State-county standards. This
will be a change in the county
schools.
Summary Included
Also. these two reports will
include a written summary like
those for the primary grades
This is the case now in most
of the Arlington schools.
The new method adopted for
the intermediate grades is what
Mr.. Hass referred to as a con

The uniform reporting system
was recommended by a group
made up of representatives from
parent-teacher committees at
each elementary school.
The Abe method is required
in all of Arlington's secondary
schools. However, there are still
some differences. such as in the
number of times reports are
handed out. Mr.. Hass told the
School Board that steps are be-
ing taken for a completely uni

senior schools.

A modified A-B-C type Of
reporting has been adopted for
all OF Arlington's public ele-
mentary schools.
This action was taken by the
school board yesterday on the
recommendation of an advisory
council and Supt. T. Edward
Rutter's office.
The uniform reporting sys-
tenn, to go into effect this fall,
was described as a "construc-
tive compromise" by C. Glen
Hass. assistant superintendent
in charge of instruction.
Under the current setup, the
elementary school and its parent
teacher group have had a choice
with certain restrictions--of
four reporting methods.
Four a Year
When the new system goes
into effect. the parents will con-
tinue to receive four reports a
year. OF these, the first and
third will take the form Of par
