Outlook Mixed
Under Stress
OF Election
BY JACK LEFLER
Associated Press Business Writer

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Busi-
ness sentiment seesawed this
week under the weight of elec-
tion campaign stresses and di-
vergent views on the economic
outlook.
General Motors disclosed
plans to spend $1.25 billion in
the United States and abroad
for new plants. machinery,
equipment and tooling in 1861.
This would be $50 million above
this years outlay. About 81 bill
lion would be spent in the
United States.
The Government added SIS
million to the amount to be
spent this fiscal year on devel-
oping the BIO supersonic
bomber. This makes 1852 mil
lion available for the program
between now and June 80.
A survey Of manufacturers
showed they look for increased
orders. billings and profits in
the first half Of 1861. And the
machine tool industry said the
balance Of this year may be
the best for new orders in q
long time.
On the other hand, the First
National City Bank of New
York said it found that eco
nomic trends have shifted from
a sidewiSe movement to a mod
crate downturn.
A majority of the Nations
leading economists, responding
to an inquiry from F. w. Dodge
Corp, a construction and mar
keting statistical agency, said
they foresee a mild recession
between now and the end
of 1861.
A decline in freight loadings
OF the rail and truck industries
reflected a slowing business
trend.
