Industrial production held

key economic indicators rose,

mines, mills and utilities in
both February and March re-

level of 102 per cent Of the
1857 average, the board an

In its monthly national

and average hours Of work in
manufacturing rose further;

Retail sales continued to re-

money supply increased further.
I'm late March and early
April, common stock prices rose
sharply, reaching new highs on
unusally large volume of trad

Although many had hoped
the production rate would turn
up in March, the three-month
level period was typical of the
bottoming -out phase of a re-
cession.
In view of adverse weather
conditions in many areas, the

The deleted projects include

Commenting on the proposed
