The federal reserve board's index of factory and mine output showed a level of 153 July, a decline of two index points from the June figure, which was an all-time high. The drop from a 155 index, however, represented only a one per cent decline in actual output. At the time of the last steel strike, in July 1956, the Paction index fell from UXTIL the nation's basic steel industry was idled by a walkout of its half million workers in mid-July, industrial production had been increasing for 15 consecutive months, and set new record highs for the last four.

In the last halt of July, steel production fell to 12 per cent of capacity. Work stoppages in August also cut copper production, the federal reserve report said. But production of trucks and farm machinery boomed along at record rates in July.

Production in most other industrial and commercial ma chine industries was at pre-recession highs, except for the aircraft and ordnance lines.

The acci three weeks i dent happened 150 miles north of Gao in French West Africa. "A French soldier was driving the truck that overturned," Ney said Friday. "He braked at the wrong time and skidded in the sand." Ney spent a day in a hospital in Gao, another day in a hospital in Niger and returned "full of morphine," he reported. The bones all seem to be healing, he said, and the expedition to see the Oct 2 eclipse will take place as scheduled. It will include Dean Athel-stan Spilhaus of the institute of technology.

The object will be to see whether or not the sun has a layer of radiation around it like the Van Allen layers around the earth. If it does, this would affect the design of future solar probes, that is, rockets to explore the sun's neighborhood. Seven university men will observe the eclipse from three sites in Africa. Ney and Spilhaus will man the site farthest in the interior.
