...disagreed. Chairman Avery C. Adams of Jones & Laughlin said that from 1940 to 1958 the industry's labor costs per man-hour increased 298%, while its shipments of steel products per man-hour increased only 30%. Thus, every recent wage hike kicked off a steel price boost (see chart). Adams and fellow executives contended that profits are still "inadequate" to support a wage hike. Even at last year's relatively high levels, steel's profits-to-assets ratio ranked 27th among the nation's 41 key industries. The "obvious" solution to wage-push inflation, said Steelman...

...four lower lines on the chart were made by the instruments of Explorer IV while it was passing through the inner Van Allen belt of heavy radiation. Channel I is from a Geiger tube set up to give a pulse when 64 radiation particles have passed through it, is thus intended to record areas of relatively low radiation. Here the radiation is so heavy that the counter is swamped and no meaningful count is recorded. Its small oscillations are mere radio noise...

When it did rise, leveling off around 34, Tabell's chart showed a new potential of 44. American Motors sold as high as 43⅜ by January, then slid back to 25½ before climbing back to 38¼ last week. Tabell admits that charts are far from infallible; often two chartists will arrive at opposite conclusions. Therefore, when a stock attracts Tabell's attention...
