EARLY DEBUT OF THE 1968 AUTOS COULD PROVIDE EXTRA LIFT for business, if a strike doesn't stop production cold. With change-overs already in full swing, the economy will be getting the customary stimulation earlier than usual. The impact will fan out to the parts, steel, rubber, and textile industries. With psychology playing such an all-important role these days, the extra jobs and fatter pay-checks involved could contribute momentum.
The possibility of a strike still looms large as the Sept. 6 expiration date of present auto contracts nears. A shutdown would also slow down the economy-possibly even rule out a new boom. If it didn't last long, damage would be light.
WHOLESALE INDUSTRIAL PRICES SEEM LIKELY TO TURN UP in months ahead, though they have been fairly stable up to now. The quickening in business activity is the obvious reason It will add to demand. But, in addition, there will be increases in truck and rail freight charges, which the ICC is now approv- ing. And, of course, all business will be under pressure to raise prices to protect profit margins against other cost hikes as well.
Commodity experts already see increases in some nonferrous prices copper, silver, and nickel. These are somewhat in the nature of special cases, because supplies are not too plentiful. But remem- ber-metals led the upsurge of 1965-66.
CONGRESS IS TAKING STEPS TO AVOID ANY NEW POWER BLACKOUTS this year. Legislation pending on Capitol Hill would give the Federal Power Commission the right to make electric utility systems get together in regional plans. The FPC bill would aid building of transmission lines over government land help the utilities to obtain rights-of-way and grant antitrust exemption.
"KNOW YOUR MONEY" is an official booklet of the U.S. Secret Service to tell businessmen how they can detect counterfeit currency and can guard against costly losses from the forgery of government bonds and of checks. The pamphlet is available for 25 from the Supt. of Documents, Wash. 20402.
Officials advise cashiers and salesmen to ask for some form of identification before cashing a gov- ernment check. And it urged that suspicious situ- ations be reported immediately.
REPUBLICAN LEADERS ARE NOW TALKING QUIETLY OF CAPTURING the House of Represent- atives in next year's elections. They know that they face a tough battle, given the Democrats' huge edge in party registration. They realize that the odds are strongly against them. To the large gains registered in last year's elections, they will have to add 31 seats for a total of 218.
