year.
Gross National Product. the
sum of all goods and services
produced in the Nation, will
reach $567 billion. a rise of $13
billion or 2.5 per cent from this
year, they predict.
However, they point out that
price adjustments will cut the
real gain to is per cent, barely
enough to keep pace with pop
ulation growth.
" Expect No Tax Change
The Prudential economists
base their forecast on "the as
sumption that the preent tax
structure will remain essen
TALLY unchanged" Without a
change, they see little chance
for a substantial economic up
swing during the coming year
but neither do they see a
recession ahead.
Consumer purchases, which
have set a new high each year
for almost a quarter of a CEN
fury, will do so again. But three
factors slower growth rate
for personal income, a grow
ing reluctance to borrow. and
cautious spending intentions
will hold the gain to SO billion,
half as much as last year. To-
tai for 1868 is expected to APP
proximate 1865 billion" the |
forecast says.
Spending for new plant and
equipment, most of which will
go for modernization, will be
unchanged at $50 billion, the
forecasters believe. Liberal
lied depreciation allowances
and tax credits are not ex-
pected to have much effect.
Reason: the large gap between
productive capacity and de-
mand.
Federal government spending
is expected to reach a record
S68 billion, jump of IS bill
lion. and state and local gov
eminent spending is estimated
at $50 billion an increase of
81 billion. The economist noted
that state and local govern
ment spending in 1868 will
stand at 81 per cent of the
Federal amount, compared with
so per cent in 1854.
= Housing Lag Forecast
They predict that housing
starts, affected by a decline in
family formation, will drop to
100000 units from IA million
units. However, expenditures
are expected to remain I'M
changed at $23 billion, because
of a slight rise in housing
costs.
Inventory buying, up 81 bill
hon in 1862, will drop 50 bill
lion in 1868 as the economy
levels out, the forecast con-
tinueS.
Owing to reduction in i'm
ports, our balance of trade will
improve by 81 billion, but for
eign assistance and foreign in
Vestment will maintain a pay
ments deficit of between 81 bill
lion and 50 billion, the econo-
niists believe.
This is a period of transit
ton, they add. "Domestically,
goods are chasing dollars. Inter-
nationally, the reconstruction
Of Western Europe and Japan
has led to unprecedented COM
petition. With the ending of
the dollar shortage. an era has
come to close"

WASHINGTON tR - Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall an- nounced today the Office of Minerals Exploration has executed sn exploration assistance contract with Alaska Mines and Minerals, Inc, largest of its kind to date
 The contract, he said, authorizes total expenditure of S324, 100 to ex- plore for mercury at the Red Devil mine on the KuskokWlm River above Bethel, Alaska.
 The government will pay one half of the total cost of the work as it progresses, up to the maxi nam S162,o50 authorized by the contract, Udall explained
 Under previous exploration assistance contract in 1853, dis covery was certified and the en- tire amount invested by the gov ernment. S152,742, was repaid, the Interior Dept. said.
 The Red Devil mine has pro- duced mercury for many years and provides the chief source of income to about 175 persons in the area.
 Under the exploration assistance program, the Office of Minerals Exploration participates in cost of exploration for 35 mineral com modities. Government funds are repaid by royalty on production.

NO Evidence Yef That
 Russian Rombers Are Being Grated In Cuba

WASHINGTON =Id1 US. au- thorities reported today they have no evidence yet that the Soviets are packing up the atomie-eapable jet bombers they sent to Cuba.
 This was reported to be q mat ter of concern to President Ken nedy, who wants removal of the IL29 bombers as well as the Rus sian missiles in Cuba.
 US. surveillance has shown that the missile dismaatling promised by Soviet Premier Khrusfe]7eV. is well along, officials said. But Am erican intelligence has not found repackin8 of uaerated IL26s to be under way, they said.
 Washington sources have report cd that Kennedy regards the 750- mile=ranse jet bombers as part of the offensive weapons to be re- moved under the proposed Cuban settlement Earlier, US. aerial photos spotted some 20 of the planes in Cuba
 Informed sources also said the President is determined to verify the withdrawal of the weapons by international inspection teams, and believes nothing less will be satis- factory
 The sources that reported Pre- sident kennedy's view that a long term surveillance of Cuba will be necessary did not specify how the watch would be kept The object of the check, they said, would be to guard against any future intro. duction of Russians missiles into 1 Cuba
 In television interview Theo dore C. Sorenson, special counse to Kennedy and one of his chie1 l speechwriters, said the United States has given no formal pledge not to invade Cuba. It will not do so until a satisfactory arrange ment regarding Cuban missile sites has been worked out, Sorenson said.

India Loses Key
 Military Position To Red Chinese

NEW DELHI R = The Indian government announced today the loss of one of it's most important military positions on the battle lines to the Chinese Communists.
 The position at Daulet Beg Oldi, at the northern end of the line in Ladakh, was evacuated a few days ago, "a Defense Ministry spokesman said.
 Ladakh is at the western end of the Himalayan border.
 The outpost at Daulet Beg Oldi was the center of series of smaller posts, all of which fell earlier.
 The Chinese have now crossed what they claim to be their border with India at one or two places and have driven beyond the dis puted territory.
 New Delhi officials think there are no chances now of a nego- tiated peace with the Chinese.
 Prime Minister Nehru has de- manded the Chinese withdraw to positions they held before Sept 8 and has rejected proposals of a cease-fire peace talks.
 Nehru was reported preparing another reply to Soviet Premier Khrushchev to that effect.
 But it appears here that the Chinese have no intention of going back to their Sept. 8 positions.
 Khrushchev sent Nehru his pro- posal for cease-fire without con- ditions last Friday. A primary aim of the Soviet peace gesture ap- peared to be to get the conflict stopped before India falls out of it's neutral alignment. A Pravada edi- torial warned India against "the intrigues of the imperialist camp' and also absolved Peiping of any aggressive intent.

Mot So, 2 Says Wa1ly Kubley

KETCHIKAN R = State Rep l Wally Kubley said today that FL Holloway, Southeast Alaska Dem ocratic campaign chairman, did not answer the question he put before the Juneau official last Monday.
 Holloway earlier today answer ed Kubley in part, stating that re- moval of State Personnel Director John Beard would be the first step in dismantling the states Merit System for employees.
 Said Kubley today:
 T noted that Holloway failed to answer my question as such. He failed to explain this rank dis crimination we happen to know is going on against our veterans.
 sIt is a known fact that veteran job applicants are not being ap- prised of their rights when seek ing employment in state jobs.
 Could it be that a person must be Democrat - be of Demo- cratic persuasion-or make like it ito get fair shake.

 E. L. Holloway of Juneau made the charge in wire to State Rep Walter Kubley, Ketcaikan Repab- liean, who had called for Bearas dismissal last week on=the grounds Beard had not been dolne right by veterans ia regard to state hiring.

37 Americans Killed So
 Far In Viet Nam Fighting

SAIGON, South Viet Nam R = The war in Viet Nam has brought death to three more Americans.
 Two US. Air Force pilots were killed early today in the crash of a Vietnamese air force B-26 fighter bomber believed brought down by Communist ground fire. A US. soldier was killed Sunday night by a grenade presumably thrown by Communist.
 The deaths raised to 37 the num- Der of Americans killed in Viet Nam since last December.
 The plane had been flying a night strafing mission against Communist guerrillas attacking a government position.
 Officials in Saigon said the last radio report from the plane said it had sighted the target and was moving in for an attack
 The grenade that killed the sol dier exploded in the vestibule of building in the city of Can Tho where he and other Signal Corps men were billeted. The blast also killed two Vietnamese children and wounded another US. enlist ed man, not seriously.

Ii Hamilton Is Elected
 Would 1t Be Legal :?

JUNEAU tR - It would be up to the courts to determine if R w. Hamilton of College could bs seated legally if he were elected governor tomorrow on Write-ir votes, Secretary of State Hugh J Wade said today.
 The catch is that Hamilton does 1 not have running mate for the office of Secretary of State.
 There is nothing in the Election Code covering the election of write-in candidate for governor Wade said.
 "The only thing that comes closest to covering the situation is a provision that independent can- didates for governor, who file for the office prior to the May 1 dead line, must have a Secretary of State running mate.
 Theoretically, Hamilton isn't even a candidate. If he were to be elected on Write-in votes, it would have to be decided by the courts whether he could be seated, with out having running mate
 "The Attorney Generals Office has issued no opinions to be used as a giudeline.
 When questioned about this possible hitch in his taking office providing he is elected, R. w. Hamilton said this morning. 1T am convinced that if the majority wants me they can have me. I would be their governor and then it would be up to the legislature or up to me to appoint a Secre- tary of State'
 On Oct. IS Hamilton talked to Secretary of State Hugh Wade about this very thing, he said.
 Wade told me at that time the only thing required would be the name written on the ballot"
 Now it's a different story
 Hamilton predicts his winning the governors seat with very strong vote.
 T think it will be quite a sur prise to both political machines and to both candidates he added

 The proposal Initiative No. l.. would require that Alaska's capi- tai be moved from Juneau to point in westward Alaska, but not within 30 miles of Anchorage. A similar measure failed in 1860, 23,972 to 18,865.
 Four general obligation bonding proposals, calling for the issuance of bonds in the total amount of ST, ,325 ,000, will also be presented to the voters.
 The bonds would be floated to obtain money for the construction of vocational education school in the Kodiak Aleutians Senate District, for school construction throughout the state; for improve ments at the University of Alaska; and for construction of trunk air ports at Savoonga, Barrow, Sitka and Sand Point and on the lower Yukon river near Andreafski.

 Rivers opponent is Lowell Thomas Jr., an Anchorage photog- rapher and lecturer and son of the famed explorer, Lowell Thomas ST.
 If advance estimates of a 6O,OOO vote hold up, it will be the second highest vote in Alaska's history. The highest number of votes ever cast in Alaska were counted in the general election of 1860, total of 62,177

II Italians are always
homesick. as Mrs. JAM S
Bonita puts it, that should go
double for an Italian artist
from Florence.
But the former Maria
Louisa Ugolini has many
paintings Of italian scenes
to help overcome her nos
talgia.
Actually she looked like a
typical American suburbia
housewife as she came to the
door of her rambler on Glow
erway in Alexandria, her
brown hair bouffant about
her face, drawn in a French
twist in back, and her big
blue eyes matching the blue
in the checked dress she was
wearing.
The Bonita children, Peter,
10, and 9-year-old Wanna,
were playing together on the
terrace built by their United
States Army officer father
whose creative efforts appar-
emily go into such household
projects as pouring cement
and planting shrubs and
trees.
The children are as blond
as their dad, 1t. Col. James
c. Bonita, whose last name
is often taken for Italian
but really is Dutch. Looking
after them, said their mo-
ther, makes it difficult at
times to pursue her art -
especially in the summer
when school is out.
But she keeps her sketch
book handy on family trips
and two of her recent can
vases were painted in
Charleston, s. c. When
there is no scenery to in
spire her, she may decide to
do q still life. Her studio"
is the den or library, adjoin-
ing the living room, which
has a good north light, she
pointed out, but is a little
cramped for her numerous
oils and water color sketches.
Mrs. Bonita inherits her ar
tistic talent from her author
father, Luigi Ugolini, who
has more than 100 books to
his credit but also manages
time for painting. Now at
SO, he's preparing for a show
in Florence in November, she
said.
Family Talent
One of her sisters writes
children's stories, and the
Bontas' book shelves include
the sisters work as well as
Is or more of her fathers
volumes, three Of which, she
pointed out, have been made
into movies.
A brother is a musician
with an Italian orchestra
and Mrs. Bonita lovingly
painted his violins in one Of
the still LIES she keeps with
her.
Many of her oils and wa
ter colors are scenes in Thai
land where Col. Bonita served
in his last overseas post In
Bangkok, she recalled, it was
easy to have servants and
she had much more freedom
than here to pursue her
painting.
Her work was shown in the

Bangkok where a magazine
published by Americans
