All SIRES

BY ROBERT B. JOHNSON. Research Director PAINE, WEBBER, JACKSON 8. CURTIS

Member New York Stock Exchange

Christmas 1968: A New Record? NEW YORK (ED)—There’s no doubt about it. I think that Christmas this year will indeed be a merry one for the nation’s retailers as well as for consumers. In fact, retail businessmen are extremely en- o

thusiastic. And they’re virtually unanimous in expecting a record Christmas business this

year.

The logic is on their side. First, .. consumer dell: 7** mand is high — and still growing. This is one of the areas, I feel, where many economists have—again—underestimated demand. Secondly, the expected consumer restraint at continued price increases — which most observers thought would make a record Christmas impossible — has thus far not been apparent. And lastly, consumers have the money to spend. So, adding demand to financial capability, equals a record Christmas in 1968. The growth in the economy in the third quarter added substantially to personal incomes (now over $700 billion). And, in my opinion, it will do so again in the fourth quarter. In fact, gains in income already have more than offset the entire tax increase. Consumer income has been rising at a rate of over $5 billion a month. That’s enough to wipe out the entire

tax hike in just two months. In the third quarter, personal income was up $15 billion. The tax increase reduced that by $8 billion. Therefore, the gain in disposable nersonal income was

still $7 billion.

In addition, the savings rate declined more than a full percentage point in the third quarter, which made an additional $7 billion available for spending. Obviously, a similar decline in the savings rate is simply not in the cards for the

fourth quarter.

Another stimulus, is the consumer installment debt. The amount of the increase this summer was the biggest jump in consumer installment debt in a generation. Right now, consumers are adding to installment debt at an annual rate close to $8 billion. So all things considered, I think that everyone should have a very Merry Christmas. Consumer demand, backed up by increasing disposable income, means a happy holiday not only for everyone in the retail business, but for all the pleased, delighted, surprised and “gifted” persons who will be the recipients of this Christ-

mas largess.

—Pueblo eluded roast young tom turkey, roast prime ribs of beef au jus and rainbow trout. Cranberry sauce, sweet and mashed potatoes, three vegetables and two salads were offered. The meal was topped off with candy, apple pie, fruitcake and Christmas cookies. Mrs. Mary Shilling of Mantau, O., noted her husband, Communications Technician 2/C John Shilling already was making up for the 25 pounds he lost in captivity. “He loves hamburger and steak,” she said, “and he had both last night.”

f Business Notes : NEW YORK (UPI)—Bache & Co. believes “investors are looking beyond the immediate impact of the tightening in the money picture to the fact that success in these efforts will reduce the inflationary pressures and lead to a more stabl i and orderly pattern of growth.” The firm thinks the market will conti ue on the upside in the days ahead “and that the bias remains on the favorable side.” Wiesenberger Investment Report observes that inflationary expectations — the expe taUon that the price level will continue to rise at the rapid pace of the re;ent past—“have enhanced the luster of common stock investment and Ur-iished the allure of fixed income investments.” It is this, rather than glowing prospects for corporate profits, which is back of the curr -1*. enthusiasm for common stocks. From a broader perspective, the firm points out, “inflationary expectations have become a major element in the portgoli strategy of many institutional investors in recent years.” Shearson, Hammill & Co. notes that though the market appears headed for a testing period in the opening weeks of the new year, and there are good reasons for going into 1969 with some cash reserves and carefully screened portfolios, “both the economy and the stock market have shown surprising staying power in recent months.” The firm thinks there ire “some stocks capable of doing well even if the market turns sloppy” and suggests investors not go overboard on the cautious side. The Janeway Service notes that “whenever either industry or government needs money on a large scale, the question is whether money will be denied to the stock market. Today, both industry and government want money on a greater scale than ever before.” Credit controls are becoming “a clear and present danger to the stock market as it rushes on upward and into the preliminaries to a climax,” the firm says. Walston & Co. observes that holders of those issues which have chalked up huge gains this year “are just waiting to take some profits for 1969 income, rather than in 1968, thus postponing the cruel tax ‘bite’ for a year”. 'Those that start selling at a profit on Tuesday,' Dec. 24, and thereafter, on the regular five business day delivery period will realize profits for 1969—not 1968, the firm points out. “Losses, of course, for 1968, go right through Dec.31.”

Czech parliament president says no to Russians—loses job

By GERD KRIWANEK PRAGUE (UPI) - Parliament President Josef Smrkovsky today is paying the price of publicly saying no to the Russians. He is losing his job. First Secretary Gustav Husak

Home Improvement With a Chain Saw

NEW YORK * UPI» — With the help of a chain saw, many summer home owners are going in for “rustic renewal.” That is, they’re giving their bare, ramshackle hideaways a new look through the addition of such embellishments as boat docks, pieces of outdoor furniture and paths of wooden disks, all produced at virtually no cost with a power saw. Key attributes of the cutting tools for outdoor work is that they are gasoline-powered and fully portable and can be put to work at the most remote locations. “Most people with a place on a lake or in the woods find enough trees right on their property to make a number of improvements, while clearing their land at the same times.” says Ashton Marcus, division marketing director for Omark Industries, cutting chain producer. “With a chain saw and a bag of nails the summer homeowner can fashion tables, benches, coat trees and cutting boards and could, if one is needed, put up a stockade fence.” Make a table with a chain saw? It’s simple. A flat surface is fashioned easily enough by chain-sawing a couple of logs in half lengthwise, then turning the flat sides up and attaching them by nailing braces underneath. A set of logs of equal length provides the legs, which can be attached by tapering the ends and screwing them into holes drilled in the table bottom. Benches are made in the same manner. Both can be made splin-ter-safe with sandpaper. An attractive walk is made by cutting platters of wood several inches thick from a tree trunk and placing them in a bed of gravel to avoid wobbling. As with anything made of wood for outside use, the disks should be treated with a preservative such as boiled linseed oil or pentachlorophenol in mineral spirits (Penta.) Fence A sturdy post-and-rail fence can be constructed by setting a series of posts in concrete and, after the concrete has hardened, mortising slots in them with the tip of the power saw. The rails are then slid into the openings and nailed securely from either side of the posts.

A novel planter is fashioned by making two parallel cuts in a log i being careful, of course, not to go through the bottom i and then several cross cuts about four to six inches apart. The sections can then be chipped away with an ax or ad7e. Be sure to put drain holes in the bottom. There are bigger projects that can be undertaken with a chain saw if you have enough disposable trees to provide the wood to tackle them. A Hack Finn raft for the kids, for example. can be easily fabricated if you can come up with a set of fairly straight tree trunks. The logs should not be halved but used full. They can be secured with three or four notched slabs placed perpendicular to the logs and fastened with spikes. There are a few things to remember about the handling of a chain saw that can speed all these projects, and extend the life of the saw parts. First of all, the Omark people emphasize, keep the chain sharp. You'll cut faster and with less effort if you sharpen the saw chain cutters after every two or three hours of use. How do you know when the chain needs sharpening? Look at the size of the chips the saw is making; the bigger they are the sharper the chain. Also, be sure to lubricate the saw liberally. Distribute oil around the saw bar before you start cutting and oil the chain frequently when cutting and when you are finished. Make sure the chain is properly tensioned. It’s right when it can be freely pulled around the bar while the underside remains touching the bar lightly. Finally, never let the chain touch the ground; there’s nothing that will dull a chain faster than being run in the dirt.

Market Report

Today’s market report from the Greencastle Livestock Center, steady 19.75to20.25.

agreed that the president of the federal parliament should be a Slovak,” Husak said. Smrkov. sky is a Czech. The Slovaks, being given a measure of internal autonomy as the Sovlet-occupled nation becomes a federal state, had insisted one of the three top federal government posts go to a Slovak. President Ludvik Svoboda and Premier Oldrich Cernik are Czechs. But there was more to the fall of Smrkovsky than that. The 57-year-old former factory worker had been the most outspoken. Czechoslovak leader in demand—Apollo TV Show In their fifth television show, the crew showed earthlings some other free-floating exercises in the weightless atmosphere. “We’re all looking forward to the landing on Friday,” Borman told his audience. Though they have spent years preparing to get into lunar orbit, the Apollo 8 crew was glad to leave Wednesday. They described the moon, as they saw it from 69 miles, as an ugly, dead planet bombarded by asteroids. They talked of its “vast loneliness” and said that in comparison to the moon, the earth was an oasis.” “We’re all in pretty good shape,” Borman told ground control late Wednesday. They complained only of being tired and sleepy. That too was a contrast to the intestinal virus that threatened to cut short the mission last Saturday. The spacecraft will continue to increase speed as it gets closer to earth and will re-enter at a velocity of nearly 25,000 miles per hour—faster than any other vehicle or men have ever traveled.

ing continued party reform despite the invasion Aug. 21. Other leaders kept far quieter. Even Party First Secretary Alexander Dubcek stayed indoors when the gray-haired parliament leader would go into a crowd and appeal for trust and reform. There was no secret about the pressure to oust him. The Soviets gave him the silent treatment, shutting him out of their major meetings with Prague officials after the invasion. Smrkovsky was de- ; nounced by name by Soviet newspapers. The message became clearer ; Saturday when Dubcek publiclv « said the government might have to use “methods that might appear undemocratic.” Cernik followed with a Christmas Eve speech, saying that no matter what happened Smrokovsky would remain somewhere in the major rungs of office. “Comrade Smrkovsky is not ^ so old yet as to be entitled to retirement and he can still do much,” the premier said. Smrkovsky had public support. The nation’s 900,000 steel workers and students from various campuses had vowed such actions as a general strike if Smrkovsky fell. There was no evidence yet of such threats being carried out. i

Opening lead — queen of hearts.

This hand is from a par contest and was composed many years ago by W. Nije of Holland. South is declarer at six spades and would ordinarily make the slam with a successful diamond finesse, assuming the trumps are divided normally. But when he wins the heart lead in dummy and cashes the ace of spades, West shows out and South has quite a task to perform if he is to avoid the loos of both a trump and a diamond. To give himself the best chance of making the slam, declarer cashes the K-A of clubs and ruffs a club. He then finesses the queen of diamonds and ruffs dummy’s last club, hoping to eventually establish an endplay position that will permit him to avoid the trump loser.

When declarer now leads a

diamond to the ace and follows with a heart to the ace, this becomes the position: North 4 Q 10 7 ♦ 6 West East V J 10 4 J 9 8 4 K J 48 South 4 K5 ♦ 5 South ruffs the nine of hearts with the queen of spades, East discarding a diamond, but East then finds himself endplayed in trumps when declarer returns the six of diamonds and East is forced to ruff. You might say that this is very clever play by South. Actually, the point of the hand is not declarer's play but East’s defense. To avoid the endplay, East should underruff the queen of spades with the eight, because he can see that if he discards a diamond, he is, in effect, putting his head in & noose. If he underruffs, South cannot avoid going down one.
