Almost to a man, U.S. businessmen agreed that rising production is sorely hindered by present federal taxes. Though postwar investment in plants and equipment has soared to alltime records, American Cyanamid Co.'s Economist Ralph E. Burgess pointed out that 80% of the cash is to replace worn-out facilities. And mainly the hope for large capital gains in the boom has kept venture capital flowing steadily, said Harvard University Professor J. Keith Butters. "In a time of depression...

Among the newcomers: Mead Corp.'s $30 million paper plant at Rome, Ga., American Cyanamid's $40 million ammonia plant near New Orleans, Chemstrand's $100 million nylon plant outside Pensacola, Fla. In 1953, for the first time, the value of Dixie's chemical products exceeded the value of its textile output...
