More than 15,000 students, workers

expected to fall 2 or 3 billion dollars short of the $510
billion foreseen by most government analysts in January.

time for threatening to obliterate American bases In

The shooting occurred in the same general area

reported sniping.
Only two persons have been struck by the sniper’s
bullets. Neither was hurt badly. Four trainmen have
been cut by flying glass shattered by bullets.
Most of the shootings have been directed at trains

What’s Inside
HOT SPRINGS, Va. (CP) — Industry experts Friday
agreed with government economists that the half-trillion
dollar American economy will expand slowly through
the rest of 1960.
A forecast that national output will total $507 bil-
lion worth of goods and services—slightly below gov-
ernment estimates—was prepared for the spring
meeting of the Business Advisory Council of the Com-
merce department opening here Friday.
The council, a blue ribbon body of 170 top corpora-
tion executives, is conferring over the weekend with
Secretary of Commerce Frederick H. Mueller and other
government officials.
Vice President Nixon will address the council to-
night, but reporters are being barred from the dinner
meeting, as from all other sessions.

Economy Rebounding
President Eisenhower announced on Wednesday that
the gross national product reached a record $500,200,000-
000 annual rate in the first quarter, as the economy re-
bounded from the 1959 steel strike. This was $29 billion
above the 1959 output.
Consumer demand was slower than expected, how-
ever, in the first three months of the year. It accelerated
rapidly in April and the early part of May, the in-
dustry group said. On the other hand, industry purchas-
ing to replenish inventories is due to fall off sharply.
Balancing these factors, the business economists
predicted that the industrial production index, a meas-
ure of the physical output of mine, mills and utilities,
may average ill percent of the 1957 base over the
full year 1960.
It may reach 112 percent by the end of the year,
according to the forecast. That would be three points
■above the present rate, but only 1 percent above the
showing in January.
The industry group was divided about evenly on
whether corporate profits would reach the 51 billion
dollar level, which the administration used as the
basis for estimating treasury revenues in president
Eisenhower’s budget message. Many felt that earnings
would be about two billion dollars lower.

Pessimism Evaporates
An appraisal of the business outlook, drafted by a
panel of professional economists selected by the BAC
and prepared in consultation with Commerce Department
experts, showed the early-year pessimism of many busi-
nessmen evaporating.
The private economists predicted that production
will rise moderately throughout 1960, at a slightly slower
rate than government economists forecast at the start of
the year.
One government official said the findings "defi-
nitely push into 1961 any consideration of a business
downturn.”
