I can fore-see a big sales buildup. Joe: If business spending on new plains would rise sharply, I'd be convinced we're really on way up, for that sort of activity would quickly absorb our unemployed.

Aiming me men at the i-riMi-ir. ern tame are two of the na-1 best! known econo mists. Scattered before them are i charts and pa pers black wilh rows of statis tics. For hours, the question before Porter the meeting has been whether business is heading for a slowdown, or whether the advance to new heights is still strong and solid.

And for hours the two economists have been quoting identical statistics to back up each view. Finally, you say: "Look, Joe, you think the advance is losing steam and the last six months of 1 95!) are going to be sluggish. You, Jim, believe the opposite. Cut the bafflegab and give me some key parts of the argument in my kind of language." Ibis they do and here is what they tell you: Joe: Builders are now pulling up houses at a rate of more than 1,300,000 a year. This pare ran't and won't be maintained.

It'll decline to 1,200,000 or so houses, and this will the whole economy. Jim: I also expect housing to slow to a rate, hut this many houses would spell a banner year for the industry. This total would be above most optimistic forecasts at the start of the year. Joe: The steel industry is roaring along at a record pace now, but it won't continue. Strike or no strike, steel production will be way down in the third quarter, and this will adversely affect hundreds of businesses.

Jim: I agree that sleel production will be down in the third quarter. But the buying today is in anticipation of a strike and or price increases which means today's buying doesn't represent overloading of inventories. Rather, it's sensible advance buying, and the steel being warehoused now will be used up as the year goes on. The buyers will be back. Joe: Auto sales are ahead of 1958, but there's no zip in the industry, and I don't see one coming.

Jim: Here we definitely dif fcr, because I think sales are encouragingly high in view of the fact that everybody knows the Big Three's compact cars are coming, and many buyers must be holding off to see the Try And By BENNETT CLRF Three Texans became acquainted in the bar of a crack ocean liner, and a bit of boasting soon ensued. declared one.

And at this slake in economic recov eries, corporations usually understate their spending plans, and they boost the estimates as their sales and profits rise, 1 think that 4 per cent esti mate is low.

And one reason I think so is that lots of busi-nessnien have been impressed with the way their new equipment is cutting costs, and they'll step up investments in new plants to cut production costs some more. Joe: Talking of surveys, the latest one on consumers shows a sharp pickup only in plans to buy houses. No zip coming from consumers. Jim: But the survey also showed consumers much mors optimistic about their own situations, and consumers as well as businessmen tend to raise their spending sights when they feel confident. Joe: Government spending is rising, hut at a slower pace.

Jim: Yes. This stimulant is fading, but it's not a negative factor. JOE: I can't see unemployment going down much for many months. The level of unemployment is a great depressant. Jim: But if what I see happening In the economy does happen, joblessness will be declining as the year rolls on, and in the meantime, I'm counting on Important emergency aid to help (he unehployed.

hat Would Vow ll? If You Were Uni By BEN OLAN Among the things a pitcher has to worry about is the "Comeback ball." This is the hall hit directly at him, sometimes at a 90 miles-an-hour speed. Here's a simulated puzzler Involving a comeback ball. You're a baseball expert if you can produce the correct decision. Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees is batting in the last of the second inning against Cleveland. Herb Score is the Indians' pitcher.

On the first pitch, Mantle drives a low line drive past Score which hits the pitchers rubber and bounds into foul territory be-tween home plate and third base. The fleet Mantle reaches second base without drawing a throw. Do you think that: a. Mantle should remain on second? b. Mantle should be ordered back to first? c.

The ball should be called "foul." J' 'l'-ll KOI jo jtji pun iioif ujj.mj lijaiuui mo ohi npunnq pun ''( jyi ciy pjuoq fimif.innf jiioyjui fujru 25,000 SQ. Ft. Miaiv b'iak. um. lnM w4.

"The unique Galaxie models are priced $'i0 below the dressed up models at the top of the competitive car lines. "Many of these savings are equal to a year's insurance premium in some states."
