Predictions For 1860


The flood of economic forecasts
issued around the turn of the year
has become so overwhelming that
the Federal Reserve Bank of Phila-
delphia has attempted to boil it
down to manageable proportions.
The Bank has compiled and chart
ed many of the predictions made by
businessmen, economists and gov
ernment officials. It's analysis con-
cludes that the year 1860 will see
an increase Of per cent in over
all business activity. if the typical
forecast turns out to be right.
The summary indicates a high
degree of agreement that total bus
mess activity. as measured by Gross
National Product, will rise by
about $50 billion above 1859 tc
reach total of $500 billion. Most
forecasters are also agreed that
prices will rise by about per
cent.
About SIT billion of the total in
crease in GNP will be contributed
by consumer spending according
to the typical prediction. Spending
will increase as income rise and un-
employment declines to around 3
million. This level of predicted un-
employment would be about the
same as that in 1955-57. Consumers
will spend substantially more for
new cars, buying about million
in 1860; 100000 of these are ex-
pected to be imports. On the other
hand, the market for new houses
will shrink. The typical prediction
is for IL million houses to be start
ed.
Businesses will spend substan-
TALLY more for plant and equipment
and for inventories. The typical
forecast is for total capital spend
ing of $3612 billion. Although con-
siderable, this increase is sub
stantially less than that in 1856.
Because of the depletion of inven-
tories during the steel strike and
the generally low level of inven-
tories in relation to sales, busi-
nesses will be accumulating inven-
tories at rate of about $6 billion
during 1860. According to the typi-
cal forecast, the rate of accumula-
tion will be particularly high early
in the year, approximating the rate
OF the End quarter of 1859.
Government spending Is likely to
rise by 81 billion. Federal govern
ment spending will play a less i'm
portant role than in 1859. most of
the increases being by states and
local governments.
Most forecasters look for strong
business in the first half with a
slowing down in the latter part of
the year. This kind of prediction
has often been made in earlier
years, however, and may simply re-
fleet the fact that it becomes harder
to forecast the further ahead one
is looking. Some of the expected
showdown also reflects declining
inventory accumulation as well as
the possibility of recession in
1861.
The Bank stresses, however, that
the predictions which it analyzed
were all made before settlement of
the steel strike. 1t is possible that
many forecasters will be raising
their sights and that the typical
prediction may prove to be an un-
derestimate. Moreover, it seems
that forecasts often underestimate
the extent of the increase when
business activity is rising. An an
alysis of predictions made a year
ago bears this out.

Press 1t On
Peel It Off

Touch and close-that's all you
do to fasten up the new raincoats
with the all nylon tape closure.
addition to the list of ready-to-
wear clothes now available says
Home Demonstration Agent Fran
ces Shoffner. You'll find it used in
place of zippers, snaps, buttons and
buckles.
The new closure is one of the
most versatile fasteners and is be-
ing used on a variety of articles.
A few OF the countless items are
diapers, envelope-type purses and
mems shoes.
This fastener allows a choice of
fit that adds to its possibilities for
use. In ladies' belts, for example,
one belt will fit any size waist.
The closure is simple to open and
close. And, since it is featured in
such items as mems raincoats,
children's jackets and women's
wrap-around house dresses, every
one will be able to enjoy the ease
and convenience of using it. Miss
Shoffner says.
In addition, the closure is strong
and durable. 1t can be washed,
ironed and dry cleaned.
The closure is not too attractive
for vertical fittings. 1t looks some
what bulky and stiff and does not
fold with the material as the body
moves. Also, be careful about us
ing a very hot iron on the fastener
as there is a possibility of melting
il. A warm iron works very well.
A word of caution, though, Miss
Shoffner adds. The construction of
the fastener is unique: there are
two strips of nylon fabric tape. One
strip has velvet-type surface with
thousands of tiny loops. The other
has thousands of tiny hooks like
miniature crochet hooks. Press the
two strips together and they stick.
And just a peeling process opens
the tapes.
Incidentally, the closure is also
available to the home sewer. 1t
may be purchased by the yard or
in nine inch strips at almost any
notion store, though 1t does not yet
come in a great variety of colors
and widths.
The homemaker can use her in
genuity to devise different ways to
make the closure fit her own needs.
For instance, Miss Shoffner sug-
gests children's clothes can be more
easily adjusted as the children
grow bringing longer life to prev
iously outgrown garments. Mo-
thers-to-be will see many new ideas
for interesting maternity clothes.

White House
Not to Press
A-Aid to Allies
BY the Associated Press

The White House is not now
planning to ask Congress to
amend the Atomic Energy Act
to permit transfer of nuclear
weapons or further nuclear in
formation to United States
allies.
But like all major policy mat
tiers, a White House statement
said yesterday, the matter is
under continuing review in
the executive branch"
The statement was read to
reporters by Mrs. Anne Whea-
ton, associate press secretary,
in response to inquiries arising
from President Eisenhower'S S
news conference Wednesday.
The President said then he
had always felt this country
should not deny to its allies
what its potential enemies al
ready have. He said he felt it
would be in the interest of the
United States to liberalize the
law in this respect.
The law prohibits the United
States Government from turn
ing over completed nuclear
bombs and weapons to allies,
but allows transfer of some nu-
clear weapon information.

100000 Air Resevists
Set for New 7 roinino

The Air Force plans to re-
organize the training of about
100000 air reservists, including
those in Air National Guard
units.
The basic change calls for
transferring units under the
Continental Air Command to
such operational commands as
the Tactical, Air Defense and
Air Materiel. However, the Con-
tinental Air Command would
retain authority over some of
the functions of reserve units
The Air Force said the new
program will bring reserve
units into closer relationship
with the commands they would
tight under in case of war.
Plans Discussed
Brig. Gen. Ramsey D. Potts,
commander of the Air Force
Reserves 459th Troop Carrier
Wing at Andrews Air Force
Base, said the plan probably
would result in his wing op-
Grating under two commands.
