Production,

Idle Rute Same
For October
BY the Associated Press

october industrial production
moved to a new peak, by a hair
line edge, and non-farm en-
ployment also set a record in
that month. the Government
has reported.
Increasing output Of auto
mobiles and most other con-
sumner goods nudged the indus
trial production index to 1855
agains the September figure of
1883, the Federal Reserve
Board reported. The index uses
the 1888 production level as
the Hotpoint base in figuring
output.
The October rate of 1865 was
q new record but was just
barely above July'S 1868. The
rate for october, 1862, was
1872.
The reserve board reported
new construction at a record
annual rate of $66.5 billion, S
per cent above 1868.
Despite a slight decline in
department store sales, retail
sales were reported at a record
level, 5 per cent over October
1862.
Non-farm employment ran
slightly counter to the normal
pattern by rising a net of
100, 900 to 53.3 million in Octo-
Der, a month that normally
shows no change from Septem-
Der, the Labor Department re-
ported.
Agricultural employment held
steady at 5.4 million while
total employment - including
self-employed, unpaid family
workers and domestics-also hit
a new peak at 500 million.
October unemployment was
unchanged at 3.5 million, leav-
ing the adjusted rate at SIS
per cent of the working force,
about where it has been all
year.
