GREEN HOT SPRINGS, Oct.

22 Secretary of Commerce Frederick H. Mueller, meeting today with 100 of the biggest names of industry, refuses to the fall business hesila- fan a recession. He predicts better business ahead. Despite the drop of most business indexes in September, Mueller said national output will more than regain its lost ground before the end of the year. It then will hold at a record high plateau until mid-1961, he forecast, and thereafter climb sharply.

Mueller said most of the major corporation heaxls who made up the Commerce Department's business advisory -council, meeting behind closed doors with him here, are "exceedingly optimistic." Nine Building Permits Issued The building picture in Corsicana took an upturn this week with the issuance of nine permits reflecting $52,185 in new work. This brings the year's total up to $1,456,678. Permits were issued as follows: A. G. Homebuilders company, three permits of $8,500 each to construct new homes at 601, 605 and 607 Lexington Drive; W.

But reporters found some who said privately they considered the country to be going through mild, brief recession. The council's head, Board Chairman Ralph J. Cordiner of Genera Electric agreed generally with Mueller. "I don't think of it as a re cession," Cordiner said. He de scribed the letdown 'as "an ad justment from inflation" lull marked by weakened con sumer demand which, he said, is characteristic of the end of a rapid inflationary advance.

Secretary of the Treasury Robert B. Anderson was expect ed to reinforce Muller's optim ism on today's BAC program Anderson's aides said he was prepared to report that the country already has passec through a relatively painless "inventory adjustment" and that advances can be expected Secretary of Defense Thomas S.

Most Of Business Talk Is Gloomy By JACK LEFLER NEW YORK, Oct. 22 Two groups of economists contended this week that business is in a mild recession but predicted the economy will pull out of it by the middle of next year. The views were outlined to the government's Business Advisory Council at Hot Springs, and the National Association of Business Economists at New York City. The BAC was told to expect total production to decline about two per cent.

Increased federal spending Is expected to reverse the economic decline, regardless of which candidate is successful the presidential election, the New York meeting was advised. Gloomy talk about business conditions got some impetus from a couple of developments: The gross national product- total output of goods and S2 billion to an tunuaJ rate of $5Q3 billion for the July-September period. Th government reported home build ing dropped in September to th lowest level since the 1958 reces sion year.

Output reached the highest total since last February with an estimated 162,000 passenger cars coming off assembly lines this week.

Cales for the first third of October totaled 157,000 cars, up eight per cenl from a year ago. Robert J. Eggert, markctin research manager for Ford Mo tors, predicted sales this yea will reach between 6.6 and 6. million. Gold set off the biggest excite ment of the week but it didn last long.
