be a major exposition Of United
States views on the arms race.
Press Secretary Pierre Salinger
staunchly refused all day yes
terday to confirm reports the
President had decided on re-
sumption of tests in the atmos-
phere and possibly in near
space.
In advance of the Presidents
speech, this Government con-
suited with the British and
other governments.
The President also was ar
ranging to consult with con-
greSsional leaders of both par
ties before his address.
Decision Made On Balance
1t is already clear that Mr..
Kennedy would not have made
the decision to resume atmoS-
pheric tests unless he was con-
vinced the military gains would
far outweigh the political LA
bilities.
High officials have spoken
recently of the pressure from
Americas friends to resume
testing-in contrast to some
neutrals' public appeals for alb
stention.
The IA NATO allies, for in
stance, are much more in
terested in assuring themselves
that the military balance of
power does not shift from the
West to the Soviet Union.
Although uncommitted pow
ers cannot afford to say SO
publicly, many of their repre-
sentatives have acknowledged
they will be much more COM
Portable knowing the arms race
has not been thrown out of
balance.
Three Sites Available
The United States expects to
test anti-missile missiles and
other undiscloSed weapons at
three sites, the Nevada proving
grounds, Johnston Island and
Christmas Island in the Pa
cific, where Great Britain has
previously experimental with
nuclear weapons.
The British yesterday used
the United States underground
testing facilities in Nevada for
a nuclear explosion whose
weapons application was un-
disclosed.
The United States has an
nounced 18 underground tests
at the Nevada site since Amer
ican experiments were resumed
September Is.
An Atomic Energy Commits
sion announcement described
yesterdays test as conducted
jointly by the United States and

Data Recorder
Sought asC|ue
To Air Crash
Many of 95 Dead
Still Unrecovered
From Shallow Boy

NEW YORK, Mar. 2 (AP).-
Searchers struggled in icy
waters and biting winds today
to recover bodies of yesterdays
95 air crash victims. They also
combed the wreckage for an
instrument which might reveal
what caused the American Air
lines jet to plunge to disaster.
This afternoon, bodies or
parts of bodies of IS victims
had been taken from the
shallow waters of Jamaica Bay.
Nobody could say how long the
grim task of finding the others
might take.
The instrument sought by
investigators is a metal globe
about the size of a basketball.
1t contains an automatic flight
recorder which keeps q second
by-second record of a planes
speed, altitude, direction and
gravity forces.
With its data, Investigators
might be able to ascertain
whether it was man or ma
chine failure that caused the
crash.
Pilot Was Veteran
At the controls of the giant
airliner. which suddenly turned
and went into a nosedive just
after taking off, was a veteran
flyer.
At 56, Capt. James T. w.
Heist, of Rolling Hills, Calf,
had flown 1890 hours. OF
these, 1000 hours were spent
in the cockpit of a Boeing TOT
such as carried him and his
passengers to death.
President Kennedy took a
personal interest in the inveS-
tigation.
A top Government investi-
gator, who conferred with Mr..
Kennedy by phone, said the
President was deeply affected
by the tragedy and asked that
everything possible be done
to prevent a recurrence.
Toll Tops Record
The Boeing TOT jet-specially
adapted for speedier take
offs from airports surrounded
by residential areaS-crashed
less than two minutes after it
had taken off from Idlewild
Airport at 10:07 am. It was
bound for Los Angeles.

Barbed wire barriers sealed
off the old quarter, but after
fighting had died down to
random shots one exit into
the Place du Government was
opened to let Moslems go to a
nearby mosque. Moslems are
in the closing days of the
observance of Ramadan, a holy
month in their faith.
Although the Casbah out
break was quelled, troops in
platoon strength filed through
the European section of the
city, alert for signs of further

Bitterness seethed among
both Europeans and North

Sales Record Set
The Hecht Co. set a new sales
record in 1861 and expects the
excellent trend of the final
months of the old year to con-
tinue this year, reported Robert
H. Levi, president.
Our company recognizes q
highly competitive situation

quality merchandise at sound
levels" he added.

in 1862 retailing by the excel

in the United States and by
increased offerings OF interest,"
ing and unusual products from
all over the world"
Sol Kann, president of s.
Kann Sons Co. also predicted
1862 sales gains, but on a more
cautious note.
while predicting the trend
of business is a most hazardous
task, we are looking forward to
the first half of 1862 showing
a continuation of the slight
trend upward, which manifest

said.

President Charles H. Jagels.
Emphasis on Quality
Mr.. Jagels said his company
is placing greater emphasis on
fashion and quality lines in
preparing assortments for the
anticipated expansion in vol
ume.
I'VE are optimistic. over the
future growth of the Washing

Broad Recovery Cited

1862 and should bring substan.
tial gains in almost all seq
ments," reported Richard P

chairman of Julius Garfincke

not spectacular, appears to be
solid and rather broad, and the

substantial gains in sales" he
said.

sales were up in 1861, even
though they did not quite reach
expectations" declared Mrs.
Margaret G. Jelleff, president of
Frank R. Jelleff, Inc.
However, there was a bright
spot. We came through with
generally lighter inventories,
fewer markdownS and more
profit" Mrs. Jelleff said. 1--WE
look forward to 1862, hopeful
that the present outlook for an
upswing in business will materi-
alize and gain momentum. A

our favor"

Seen by

NEW YORK, Jan. 6 (AP).-
An increase in the Gross Ma
tional Product to at leat $55
billion in 1862 was forecast by
the National Association of
Manufacturers.
This would mean an increase
of more than SIS billion in the
total of goods and services over
the annual rate that prevailed
in the final quarter of 1861.
"This is a relatively modest
expectation" said Donald j
Hardenbrook, president of the
association
He said the performance can
even be bettered IF we have
the courage to face up to some
Of our evident economic prob
lens"
Chief of these, he said, are
"the artificial upward pressure
on labor costs, and the insuffi-
cheney of savings for the fl

I'm addition to the FSLIC

account, each association is
a member of the Federal Home
Loan Bank System and is ex-
amined regularly under strict
supervision" he said.
Points to Difference
Without referring directly to
troubles of a few uninsured
savings and loans in nearby
Maryland, Mr.. Kolb said that
in the last three months more
and more people have come
to realize that where you save
does make a difference"
The associations invest
funds primarily in home loans
and this has been of general
public benefit, he added. More
than 10000 homes in this area
are being financed currently by
savings and loan associations,
he said. The loan portfolio of
the leagues member associa-
tions exceeds $1.3 billion.
League members also hold
cash or government securities
totaling more than $100 million
in order to meet any possible
withdrawal demands of Gus
toners, he said. The associa-
tions pay out around $50 mil
lion each month in this area
and more than half of this
is used to purchase new homes,
he declared.

Mr.. Kolb, who is president OF

that his association was started
in 1861 when monetary condi-
