RisePredicfed
In Production
BY the Associated Press

The National Planning Asso-
citation predicts a SIS billion
increase in total United States
production during 1860 to
slightly below $500 billion.
This comparison with 1859
is based on a study showing
that most year-end business
forecasts agreed that produc-
ton, income, employment and
probably prices will be higher
in 1860.
But the association said yes
terday there also are some
weaknesses in the economic
outlook, particularly an ex-
pected further decline in resi-
dental construction as a result
OF tight credit. A decline in
farm investments also is likely,
it added.
The 1860 outlook was pro-
jected for the association by its
chief economist, Gerhard Colin
The association describes itself
as a nop-profit, non-political
organization devoted to plan
ming in agriculture, business,
labor and the professions.
Mr.. Colin gave this summa-
ton OF the swing upward:
Current surveys show that
business plans further increases
in outlays for plant and equip
ment. Also, the expansion OF
State and local government
which has been going on for
many years is likely to con-
tinue.

Gypsies Try
ToLynch Driver

LISBON. Portugal, Dec. 81
(AP).-Gypsies tried to lynch
a motorist early today after he
killed one of their group and
injured three others.
The motorist, 23-year-old
Mario Dos Santos Of Azambujo,
was driving near Villa Franco
de Xira when he said he was
blinded by the lights Of an on
coming car. He said he die
not see the group of Gypsies,
who were hurrying along the
road to the camp.
Mr.. Dos Santos braked, but
the car skidded into the Gyp-
sizes, killing Silxa Mareira and
seriously injuring three others.
At their cries other Gypsies
from the nearby camp hurried
to the spot and set upon the
driver, who fed for his life
and took refuge in the Villa
Franco police post.

Nehru meet him next Satur-

The Chinese Premier had pro-
posed both countries withdraw
their forces IL miles from their

would leave the Communists
still in control of thousands of
miles of territory claimed by
India.
Mr.. Nehru described the
Chou proposal as merely a

Trade Balance
Gain Reported
ByCommerce
Ry ths Assoeiated Press

| Inc commerce department
says the world financial posi-
ton Of the United States ap-
parently took a sharp turn for
the better last summer.
Furthermore, the department
indicated it expects a con-
tinued strengthing of the
United States position, which
is measured in terms Of this
country's balance of interna-
tional payments.
In the last two years, the
United States has been running
q big payments deficit as a
result Of spending, lending and
giving away more money than
has been received. This Sit
uation has been a source Of
grave concern to some top
policy makers, who are fearful
that the dollar might be weak
ened If the deficit continued.
Slight Reduction
| The Commerce report issued
last night said the payments
deficit was reduced only slightly
in the July-September quarter.
On an annual basis, the deficit
decreased by $268 million to
$4,220,000, 900.
However. the department said
1t believes a much bigger i'm
provement would have been
recorded had it been possible
to gather more accurate
statistics.
ON this basis" the report
said. "it may be tentatively
concluded that the third
quarter was the turning point
IN our recent balance OF pay
ments experience"
1t added that there is no
evidence the indicated i'm
provement was the result of
temporary developments.
On the contrary, it said,
heeting factors probably tended
to increase the deficit by in
creasing imports more than
exports. In addition, it said,
the effects Of the steel strike
also tended to accentuate the
deficit in the balance Of pay
ments."
To bolster its optimistic find
ings, the department reported
that United States receipts from
exports and from investments
here by foreigners increased by
$444 million in the third quar-
ter. In contrast. it said, United
States payments for imports,
Government programs over
seas and private investments
abroad increased by only So
million.
Therefore. it noted, the
United States position on a
receiptS-payments basis i'm
proved by 81, ,764 100000 a year,
whereas the improvement in
the balance Of payments "a
separate set Of statistics) was
1858 million.
Errors Claimed
The report attributed the dis
crepancy to statistical erro:S
and omissions.
II the departments optimis-
tic conclusion Is correct, the
United States payments prob
lem already had improved
significantly by the time the
administration adopted q con-
troversial requirement that
countries receiving United
States development loans spend
the money in the United States.
Treasury Secretary Anderson,
the chief advocate of this move,
argued it was necessary to help
solve the payments problem.
Critics contended it was an un-
necessary imposition Of a pro-
tectionist policy.

test since it first was establish
ed four years ago have passed.
This year only 10000 of the
$4,000 who took the exam
received passing grades.
The examination is not
limited to college graduates,
but about 80 per cent of those
taking it are in this category.
The other 10 per cent are peo-
pie with some college training.
The FSEE test is designed to
provide the Government with
its top executives of tomorrow.
AS such, the csc considers it
to have been a great success.
However, there are some
rumblings of dissatisfaction
about the examination, par
ticularly from those who have
failed to pass. They claim the
examination is too unrealistic
and verbose and does rot
achieve its objective Of get
ting the best qualified people
in Government. They also crit
icize the fact that an appli-
cant is required to state both
his or her age and sex on the
application blank, declaring
that this could lead to dis
elimination in grading the
exam papers.
2. The sharply divided opin-
ion among Federal employees
regarding the District Com
missioners' proposal to the
Budget Bureau for earlier
working hours for Govern
ment workers here.
Some employees like the idea
of going to work q half hour
| to an hour earlier and leaving
work at a correspondingly ear
! lier time.
other employees are opposed,
declaring that particularly for
those living in outlying areas
in the suburbs it would be a
hardship to have to get to work
earlier in the morning. They
also contend that the proposed
change Of hours would not
accomplish any good. since
many employees in the rush to
get to work earlier would aban-
don the fringe parking system
and drive their cars all the way
to work, thereby creating tre-
mendous traffic Jams and park
ing problems.
