Things look better
By RICHARD HUGHES
UPI Business Writer
Things are looking up.
The stock market is reboun
ding. Cars are selling again.
Some furloughed workers are
being called back to their jobs.
Sugar prices are dropping.
The good news brings predic
tions that the recession could
be over in six months.
“The behavior of the stock
market since early December
suggests that, if the past is any
guide, the recession could end
close to mid-year,” said Irwin
Kellner, economist at Manufac
turers Hanover Bank in New
Hork.
“Historically,” Kellner said,
“an uptick in the stock market
has led the end of an economic
recession by an average of six
months.
In Detroit, a Ford Motor Co.
executive said the worst of the
auto slump seems to be over.
Robert J. Hampson, vice
president for North American
operations, said by March Ford
could recall some its 33,125
workers on indefinite layoffs.
“I hope that by March and
April we will see some recall of
people on indefinite layoffs and
then a gradual improvement in
the spring,” Hampson said.
In an another indication of
growing strength in the econo
my, AT&T’s S6OO million sale of
loan notes was snapped up
within hours after the offer was
made. Under the long-term
debt program, AT&T in effect
borrows money from the public
and agrees to pay it back with
interest when the notes mature
in 7 and 32 years.
In Lowell, Vt., employes and
others are trying to buy for $2.5
million the GAF Corp, asbestos
mine to save 180 jobs. An
attorney said agreement is near

Bandit strikes
in Atlanta
ATLANTA (UPI) - A bandit
who apparently cut his way into
a fenced parking area at an
office of the Atlanta Gas Light
Co. robbed a manager and
guard of about $15,000 in cash
and checks Tuesday evening.
Officers said manager A.M.
Warren, 59, and guard Gerry
Mathias were walking to a car
when the gunman, wearing an
orange jump suit and stocking
cap, forced them to lie down at
pistol point and took a bank
bag from Warren.
More than half the loot was
in checks payable to the gas
company, officials said.

houses. Sugar companies are
cutting the price and reducing
production to unload the supply.
Major refiners put into effect
from the case in which $27,500
in workmen’s compensation
benefits is being sought for the
Tuesday night one of their
members was wounded by
gunfire in an “ambush,” and
called off talks that had
appeared headed for a quick
settlement to the long dispute.
A spokesman for the “Meno
minee Warrior Society,” which
began an armed occupation of
the abbey New Year’s Day,
said the Indian was shot
Monday night while patroling
the novitiate.
Talks will be suspended, the
spokesman said, until the
“wounded Warrior brother” has
recovered. He was shot in the
thigh and the bullet has been
taken out, the Indians said, and
recovery will take about five
days.
The shooting incident was
reported earlier Tuesday by
National Guard Col. Hugh
Simonson. Simonson said the
Indians told him the man was
not seriously hurt and that
talks would continue.
He had no comment Tuesday
night on the new development.
Simonson earlier said he had
“no idea how he was wounded”
but that no National Guards
man has fired a rifle. He also
said that there had been no
reports of activity by area
whites in the perimeter the last
three nights.
The break in talks came
hours after it was learned the
Alexian Brothers had made an
offer to the Indians to settle the
dispute. It had been thought the
Indians would accept it soon,
perhaps today. But the shooting
incident changed all that.
The Indians also are asking
that Artley Skenandore, an
Indian the state hired to
mediate the dispute at its start,
be brought back into talks.

late state Rep. James H.
“Sloppy” Floyd of Trion.
Murphy repeated his state
ment that he felt there was “no
conflict of interest” involved
but he said he stepped aside
“because I don’t want anybody
to say if they did get it (the
money) that they got it because
I was involved.”
The speaker had filed the
death benefits claim after the
state Department of Adminis
trative Services had ruled that
Floyd was not covered by
workmen’s compensation while
a member of the General
Assembly.
Murphy said attorney Jake
Cullen of Cartersville had taken
over the case last week after
published reports that Murphy
was handling it. The speaker
said Cullen was taking the case
on the same basis as Murphy—
“no charge, no fee and paying
his own expenses.”
A hearing was scheduled on
the claim Tuesday but was
postponed to give the new
lawyer time to prepare his case.
