Martin Marietta Sales,
Net Set Recordin'61

The Martin Marietta Corp,
result Of a corporate wedding
last year. confirmed today that
two can live better than one.
In its first annual report as
a Joint venture of the old
Martin and American Marietta
Companies, the corporation
noted that in 1861 sales hit
"a peak Of $1.213,l83,7I3 and
net profits were $44,8l7,655.
Both figures topped the COM
bined totals for the separate
predecessor companies in any
previous year.
They compared with sales in
1860 Of $l,091 1886, 044 and net
earnings of SAL 1882 1877.
George M. Bunker, president,
and Grover M. Hermann, board
chairman, forecast the COM
pany's aerospace divisions
would hold their own and the
chemical and construction ma
terial business would show
gains in 1852.
Earnings last year equalled
$2.04 per common share, COM
pared with $l.9l the previous
year. Quarterly dividends of
Is cents a share paid Dec. 81
and to be paid March % were
equivalent to the highest rate
paid by either Of the predeces-
sor companies.

OF Fight for Market

On May 10, 1860, after one
week Of such activity, Safeway
officials surrendered. The store
would remain open, on q
month-to-month trial basis.
However, several m o n h S

would close the store after all,
but a larger one would be con-
structed if a suitable site could
be located nearby.

Safeway. "They located the
place where the Old Alexandria
Iron Works was located, they
went before the City Council
and had the property rezoned
so we could build there and
then they helped design the
building"
At the direction Of the wom-
en-, the new Safeway has an Old
Town decor, including chande-
liers in the lobby and paintings
of early American scenes in
wrought iron frames hanging
from the walls.
Mrs. McKitterick said that
she did not mind that the new
market is located three blocks
from her home while the old
one, which closes tonight, Is
only one block away. Il bought

the fruits Of their skirmish this
week.
yThe women will gather at

1.-THE unusual story that led to

that the Safeway chain plan
ned to close a small, unprofit-
able store in the Old Town Sec

women organized in protest
against the closing.

Two dozen women joined

gathered on petitions. Dozens of

and an edge above the 1857 rec
ord Of $37 billion.
The 1862 estimate, based on
q recent survey, was issued by
the Commerce Department and
the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Although plant and equip
ment spending continues to in
crease from quarter to quarter
after hitting a recession low
last spring, the rate of in
crease over the near term is
less than forecast earlier.
The report said capital
spending in the January
March quarter will reach an
annual rate Of 1851 billion
$500 million less than was ex-
pected three months ago. For
the second quarter, a rate of
1855 billion is projected.

Mr.. Meyers observation is
true and I can confirm 1t.
When, in 1860, I wrote a FORE
cast Of bankruptcies to come,
I too took the blasts from men
who knew this was fact but
who hated me for reporting it.
But the bankruptcies came.
The reckless gambling in real

off in a way reminiscent Of
the days right after World War
II. Hotels which have been
shut since the 1860 shake-out
have reopened and are filled
to capacity. Requests for res
ervations are being referred as
far North as Fort Lauderdale
and none Of the other holi-
day areas has q room avail
able either. Restaurants are
frantically busy. The total Of
tourists in the Miami Beach
area alone this year Is now es-
timated at rs million UP about
750, 900 from 1861.
With $50 hotels crowded into
an area Of only seven miles,
Miami Beach is a test-tube
lesson in the good and bad of
hotel operation. Many Of these
hotels always have been sound
ly financed, always have made
money. But a minority were
underfinanced in 1860 to the
point of sixth and even sew
enth mortgages each demand
ing the owner" pay annual in
terest rates ranging to IL per
cent or more. Under the most
ideal conditions. these owners
could barely meet the payments.
When hit by a combination Of
bad weather, national recess
sion, soaring competition, ris-
ing costs and a price war, the
properties toppled into the
hands Of hotelmen who knew
a bargain when they saw it
and had the cash to follow
through.
Miami Beach is into a new
cycle just as all Florida Is.

We believe further that such
exhibition of vengeance against
the Negro masses would move
further away the ultimate time
for responsible white and Negro
Citizens to get together and
work out a solution to the rae /,
problem in the best interest of
the state and of the nation.
Although copies of the teie-
gram were given to the Asso-
ciated Press, a newsman for
the National Broadcasting Co.,
and two widely known news
paper correspondents and local
bureau chief, no mention of the
telegram was made by local
newspapers, television and radio.

presented seven-point program
for better race relations in the
state at a statewide meeting CT
white and Negro leaders called
by the then Governor Hugh

they would remain there as long

In spite of the rioting over tho

Taking congizance Of the ef-

young couple was reported to
have been attacked when they
were stopped by a white group

Percy Greene, Editor and Pub
Usher of the Jackson Advocate,
the states leading Negro news

the concern of responsible Ne

he sent a telegram to Cover
ncr Ross Barnett at his Execu-

noon urging that he inform the
people of the state that the clash
between state and Federal pow
er over the enrolment of
Negro student at the University
of Mississippi is not a contest
between the Negro and white
people of the state.
The full text of the editors
telegram to the Governor is as
follows:
We are in full understanding
of all the facets of southern
history and tradition that has
lead you to take the historic
position you now occupy in re-
gard to interposition, states

We also have had some close
association with the individuals
and forces which have been con-
stantly seeking to precipitate
such crisis in race relations il
this state and in the nation.
In view of such knowledge
the masses of Negro citizens of
this state need the assurance
that whatever the outcome of
the Meredith case white people
of the state are made aware
that this is not a contest be-
tween white people and Ne
groes of the state and that ven
gance against Negroes will be
