Americans’ Income
Rises After Sagging
For Five Months
Washington, D. C. — Wages,
salaries and other income pay
ments to Americans rose in March
for the first time in five months,
suggesting that the economy may
be starting post-recession recovery.
The Commerce Department said
toal income payments reached an
annual rate of $407.8 billion last
month, an increase of $1.6 billion
over the February rate.
Significantly, most of the gain
occurred in the wage and salary
category in eight months. Econo
mists have found that personal in
come tends to rise and fall with
general business activity.
Early payments of GI life insur
ance dividends to veterans, ordered
by President Kennedy as an anti
recession step, also put an extra
$1.00 million into the people’s hands
in March. Normally this money
would have been paid out over the
entire year.
Counting these payments, the
March personal income rate was
$409.6 billion. Since they will not
recur, however they cannot be in
cluded in the annual rate.
Payrolls, which make up the
biggest share of personal income,
rose on the strength of a small
gain in manufacturing and a sub
stantial pickup in construction ac
tivity^
Factory payrolls increased to an
annual rate of $84 billion, a rise
of $200 million. This was due to
expanded employment and bigger
average weekly earnings in cloth-
ing, textiles, food, steel and stone-
clay glass products.
Farmers, business men and pro
fessional persons also had small
gains in income. Social Security
payments likewise were up.
The personal income data sup
ported other government reports
which also have suggested that
the business recession has touched
bottom and and an early recovery
may be starting. These reports
showed:
Retail sales rose 1 per cent in
March, the second such gain in two
months.
Overall industrial production was
steady. Output of steel, textiles,
clothing, chemicals, oil, furniture
and apliances rose. But coal fell
sharply and output of commercial
and farm equipment eased. Auto
assemblies were reduced hut an
April expansion is indicated.
Private housing starts advanced
8 per cent the third month in a row
they have improved.
Parents, Child Die
Of Food Poisoning
Decatur, Ga. — A young mother
died in a hospital Sunday night a
few hours after the death of her
husband and their 2 year old
daughter, all apparently victims of
food poisoning.
The only surviving member of
the family, a 2 month old girl, was
reported in good condition.
Detective B. S. Ivey said Frank
lin Sweet, 21, and Pamela Ruth, 2,
were dead on arrival at Grady hos
pital.
M ':s. Mildred Sweet, 21, was tak
en to the hospital in critical con
dition and died at 10 p. m.
Two month old Tina Sweet also
was hospitalized but doctors de
scribed her condition as good and
said she simply was being held for
observation.
The DcKalb County detective
said Sweet, an electrician's helper
and his family moved into a Dora-
vile apartment Friday.
The detective said they ate some
ham salad and cheese sandwiches
Friday night according to what
they told witnesses, and became ill
early the next morning.
“We suspect it was food poison
ing,” Ivey said, “but we don’t know
for sure until autopsies are com
pleted and a chemical analysis
made.”
Sweet phoned his sister, Mrs.
Shadwin, Saturday and she and W.
L. Patrick went to the apartment.
They told officers Mr. and Mrs.
Sweet said they had eaten some
ham salad and pimento cheese
sandwiches the night before and
complained of nausea and vomiting.
The detective said a doctor at
tended the family at 2 a . m. Sun
day and thought “they might have
some kind of virus.”
Ivey said Doraville police re
ceived a call from the apartment
asking for assistance at 10 a. m.He
said the call was made by Mrs.
Shadwin who had gone to the resi
dence to see how the family was
getting along.

State Peach Crop
|Yet Undamaged
Atlanta, Ga. — Georgia’s peach
crop again has escaped weather
damage and apparently is not as
susceptible to cold at this stage
of growth as some think.
, Dr. E. F. Savage, head of the
[horticulture department at the Ga.
| Experiment Station and one of the
| state’s best peach authorities, says
i it would have to get down to 28
degrees or so before any damage
would occur.
Reports that the temperatures
and scattered frost might damage
the state’s multi-million dollar
peach industry have not impressed
j Dr. Savage, who says the heavy leaf
[cover now protects the trees and
small fruit.
j A record low for thi sdate is 31
degrees and even this would not
have damaged the trees, Dr. Savage
noted. He said temperatures in his
orchards probably didn’t go below
37 degrees.
| And any talk of smudge pots is
sort of funny since we haven’t
| used smudge pots since the war,”
I the peach authority said. “Once in
a great while peach producers burn
some tires or brush to create a
smoke, but we just don’t have any
smudge pots left.”
Besides the sentimental loss by
most Georgians, a peach crop fail
ure would be a blow to the farm
economy since last year the peach
crop brought Georgia growers $8,-
755,000.
There have been heavy losses in
April Dr. Savage says, but he
doubts there is any real threat
now. He bases this belief on the
( fact that muscadine grape vines
and pecan trees have started bud-
'ding out foliage and leaves.
It is generally accepted in the
[peach industry that any escape of
; damage until Easter is fairly in
dicative of an escape from total
loss. The early Easter (April 2)
this year did not change their
minds on this score.
“Shipment of Maygold peaches
should be in full swing by May
115” he said.

Calls Couple
Chicago, 111. — Three stable
hands and 42 horses died in a wind
whipped early morning fire which
destroyed two stables at Maywood
Park trotting track Sunday in west
suburban Melrose Park.
Two persons were injured and
more than 70 horses were led to
safety from the blazing and threat
ened barns.
Winds up to 20 miles an hour
fanned flames thru a tinder of
straw bedding and hay. One of the
250-foot long wooden stables was
leveled before firemen arrived.
Damage to the buildings and
equipment was estimated at $100,-
000 by Nathan Allen, president of
the Maywood Park Trotting Asso
ciation. There was no immediate
estimate of the loss in animals, but
some horsemen said it would ex
ceed $100,000.
Cause of the fire was not de
termined, but a track official said
many of the stable hands were us

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Tndia is today the largest producer of tea in
the world and this ranks, after jute, as the largest item in the
country’s export trade. Indian tea earns every year a foreign ex-
s change of $294 million, and a revenue of $39.9 million from export
• duty and $8.4 million from excise.
■ India has about 0,840 registered tea gardens with a total area
of some 800,000 acres. Of this, 582,000 acres are in the eastern
States of Assam and West Bengal, and nearly 177,000 acres in
South India. This industry employes more than 1.2 million people.
India’s present annual production of tea is around GOO million
pounds, of which about 450 million pounds are exported. It meets
just over half of the world demand for the commodity. The entire
output of tea in the world (excluding Russia and China) during
i 1958 was estimated at 1,654 • llion pounds. Of this India accounted
for around 680 million pounds and exported 440 million pounds.
- The crop would have been larger but for the extremely dry weather
during April, May and June, and the shortage of foreign exchange
which restricted imports of ammonium sulphate. The total produc
tion of tea is expected to be on the order of 850 million pounds in
1965.
Apart from this, tea effects a saving on foreign exchange also.
It helps the progress of such allied industries as coal, cement, steel,
fertilizers, plywood, etc. For example, about 5,300,000 tea chests
are at present made from plywood and only a negligible quantity is
imported.
