Business Upswing Reported In Nation Incomes Higher, Spending Bigger WASHINGTON, UP — Higher incomes and bigger spending gave American business a “strong” boost in the months of 1952, the commerce department ported today. < In its December survey of current business, the department noted a “steady growth" of personal income, a "continued upswing” of retail sales, “peak volume” of investment by business, and Increases in employment which were ‘‘more than usual at this season.” It all ddded up to a rosy report on the U. S. economy. I Personal income across the nation totalled $276.000,000,(XM) in October and climbed some more in November. The current rate is approximately 5 percent higher than in the first half of the .year. This riae has been the biggest factor in boosting retail sales, the report said. Sales have been climbing since midsummer and in October passed \ the January, 1951, scare-buying peak. The report said there are.“some indications” that persons who purchased more than they needed in the scare-buying waves of 195 b and 1951 have at last worn out the goods they bought and are buying more of the same - now—mostly household equipment, such as television sets, radios, refrigerators and furniture. There were 62.000,000 persons at work in November, the highest of any .November. The report said it was a result of "the further expansion of production’ ’in many fields. ' \ , 1 I >■ { Business investment for expansion Os facilities and purchase of new equipment has been kept at “peak volume,” according to the! report. The outlook for the start of 1953 is a continuation of the same. ’ ' JET COLLIDES (Continued From Page One) announcement after a Columbia, Broadcasting System radio correspondent learned of the crash while visiting the hospital where the survivor was taken.
