...running 8% over last year's rate. Steelmakers are revising their estimates upward, now expect this year's production to equal 1955's record 117 million tons. At the American Iron and Steel Institute convention in New York last week, Inland Steel Chairman Joseph L. Block foresaw at least twelve more months of "increasing business tempo...

Bensinger, 58, fourth of that name to run the 119-year-old company, last week reported a 1963 loss of $10.1 million, largely because Brunswick set aside $15 million to cover defaulted payments on alleys and pinsetters.

...challenges of an economy that on the surface produced in 1963 just the kind of balanced year that economists have been trying to order up. The steady growth brought no dangerous excesses that might overturn things and cause a recession. The economy seemed in healthy equilibrium, and no one foresaw the immediate end of the recovery. It remains for 1964 to demonstrate whether the economy has the drive not only to break more records but to achieve that extra something that it also needs. The time seems to be at hand for the U.S. economy, like the consumer...
