Ike Says Not Necessary To be First in Everything"
SAN BFRNARDINO. Calif. H

SAN BERNARDINO, CaIif R - Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower ended a golfing holi- day ia the California desert by expressing opinions at a train side press conference:
 The Soviet Union has not dealt a major blow 10 the United States prestige by orbiting a man in space because its not necessary to be first in everything"
 Tanned and rested from his two months in Palm Springs, Ei- senhower chatted amiably at the press conference.
 However, when asked about the Soviet feat of putting a man in space, Eisenhower said, seriously: Its not necessary to be first in everything,' adding "our people are to be congratulated for doing as much as they have in the space program" He said, "after all, it's not supposed to be a contest"
 Eisenhower said the Soviets have been working on their space program since 1945 - 10 years before the United States started. He said 1855 was the first time anyone mentioned a satellite pro- gram to him and that was in con- nection with the geophysical year.

Economic Observers Feel Rising Production Will StaIemate the Recession

WASHINGTON tR - Economic observers feel that rising steel and auto production and a whopping increase in home building may be leading the United States out of the recession.
 Although the index of industrial output edged up only slightly in March, the Federal Reserve Board reported Friday that the reces- sion seems to have touched bot tom in February and now is mov- ing up.
 A number of economic observers recently have voiced the opinion the recession had hit bottom and soon would move up.
 Another sign of the easing econ omic pinch came from the Labor Department. It reported that the number of workers drawing un- employment compensation bene- fits dropped during the week which ended April 1 for the sixth straight week.
 A spurt in both new and used automobile sales during March caused manufacturers to step up April production schedules, the Federal Reserve Board said in it's national summary of business conditions" for March.
 Iron and steel output, another major factor in the index of in dustrial output, also continued to rise in early April.
 The Commerce Department said that private home starts during March climbed to an annual rate of 1,283,000 dwellings, 8 per cent above February and Is per cent higher than March, 1960
