STOCKS SALES HIGII on the New York Stock Exchange this week totaled shares, the biggest since the week ended Oct. 18. 1958, when the total was 24.402,570. Bond volume expanded to the highest total in more than a year. The total was $35,273,000 par value compared with $21,340,000 the previous week.

The last busier week was Dec. 1-4, 1959, when volume amounted to more than $37 million. Briefly around the business scene: Trans World Airlines will start showing movies on some jet flights this spring. Otarion Listener Corp. has developed a hearing aid the size of a thumbnail.

French industrialists have designed an elevated monorail rapid transit system with vehicles operating on rubber tires; costs $3 million to $5 million a mile, compared with $20 million for subways. Fairbanks, Morse has completed its first mass-production machine for extracting fresh water from sea water. a ft ifVuf II NEW YORK (AP) The nation's storekeepers are looking down a rocky road in 1931.

They don't expect much of a sales increase and they're even more worried about profits. Five thousand members of the National Retail Merchants Association, gathered in New York City this week to thrash over their problems. Their president, Alfred Thompson, warned of "a tough year." The NRMA surveyed 287 top store executives and found only 30 per cent looked for sales in the first half of this year to exceed the I960 period. The median estimate was three per cent. Twenty-five per cent look for an increase in profits.

Few would predict beyond the first half. A year ago the merchants anticipated that 1960 sales would outstrip record 1959 by six to seven per cent. VOLUME RECORD SET Volume did set another record but retailers had to settle for a two per cent increase, and the profit squeeze tightened. The Commerce Department reported sales totaled $219.8 billion last year. A gloomy picture of the furniture segment was painted in Chicago, where 20,000 dealers attended the winter home furnishings market.

They expressed apprehension that sales this year will be below 1960, when the $4.6 billion total was more than seven per cent under 1959. Retail volume this week chalked up a slight gain one to three per cent over the comparable week of 1959.

Guest Speaker Addresses Geologists Guest speaker at- a luncheon meeting Friday of the Wyoming Geological Association was Jim Edwards, Rocky Mountain division manager for the McCulIough Tool Co. Speaking on "The Single-Point Entry Completion Technique with Use of the Jet-Notch Cutter," Edwards pointed out that hydraulic fracturing to improve production rates of oil and gas wells is in its second decade of use. The single-point entry technique, he said, is a method of preparing a reservoir for a hydraulic fracturing treatment. This technique involves notching a horizontal, disc-shaped hole which extends radically from the bore-hole and through cemented casing into the reservoir or rock. The extension can be accomplished either by mechanical cutting, hydraulis abrasion or jet disintegration.

Edwards stressed the use of the jet frac-notch cutter which his company has introduced to the petroleum industry. The success of this tool was illustrated by examples of its application in the San Juan, Denver-Julesburg and Green River Basins. In the La Barge Platform area of the Green River Basin, Edwards said, the Almy, Mesaverde, Frontier and Muddy Reservoirs have responded well to the jet frac-notch cutter method of single-point entry completion. This method employs a wire-line principle for manipulating the jet tool in the borehole, according to Edwards. Adlai Leaves To Take His Post- at U.N.

CHICAGO (AP) Adlai E. Stevenson, expressing the hope that U.S.-Soviet relations may improve and tensions in Latin America relax, took leave of his Chicago friends last week to become U. S. ambassador to the United Nations. Perhaps in the months ahead the United States and the Soviets might "do things jointly which we have not been able to do in the past." he said at a farewell testimonial.

The reception was sponsored by the Illinois chapter of the American Association for the United Nations and the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations. Nearly 1.500 persons were on hand to give the former Illinois governor and twice-defeated Democratic presidential candidate an emotional farewell. At an informal news conference, Stevenson said he has no definite solution to the tense U.S.Cuba situation but hopes Cuba will "see the light so that once more we can enjoy happy relations."

Following the installation, Mr.

Curry gave a very interesting talk and slide presentation on highlights of the 21st International Geologic Congress, held in Copenhagen, Denmark, Aug. 12-27, 1960. Nearly every nation was represented at this congress and there were many field trips to be taken. Curry's magnificent films were taken throughout Norway, Sweden and Denmark with an interesting sidelight being their visit to the Swedish Oil Shale Plant which was developed during the war when Sweden's oil supply was curtailed. The beautiful scenes held the group enraptured and everyone was sorry to see the trip end.

In token of appreciation, appropriate gifts were presented to Mr. Curry and Miss Davis by the Casper Desk and Derrick Club. V. ASH PVT. LA EL of jobless increased by 500,000 to 4.54 million in December.

AUTO OUTPUT UP Auto production picked up with an estimated output of 110.000 passengers cars this week. It was the highest total since mid-December and compares with last week and 173.713 a year ago, when makers were catching up after the steel strike. Sales in December were the poorest for the month in years, totaling 4S7.950.

Output in January is scheduled at about 400,000, and plants are laying off workers. Steel shipments are running ahead of December despite cutbacks in orders from auto manufacturers.

Little of Cambridge, research and engineering consultants on the project. Production of the briquettes at Husky's Dickinson, N. plant is expected to begin by March 1, following a $500,000 modification program. They will be available in limited quantities for the 1961 season. Much of the manufacturing equipment is already on hand and contracts have been let for the balance.

The plant is located at the site of one of the nation's largest lignite deposits which will assure a plentiful supply of raw materials. Pyle explained that the use of lignite in briquettes is desirable because of th large deposits which are readily available. "The problem of perfecting a product from lignite coal which has good burning and aroma characteristics has been solved by Husky's process," Pyle said. According to Nielson, the bri-quetting operation has great potential. He stated that joining with Kingsford will be beneficial to all concerned.

"We know we have a high quality product and we are proud to join with Kingsford 's well known and well established manufacturing and marketing organization. Our combined efforts should make this a very project." The Kingsford of Louisville, is the world's largest producer and marketer of charcoal briquettes.
