Quite apart from hospital costs is the rise in doctors' fees (up 5.8% last year), which now yield the U.S. doctor an average $28,000 a year. Again, the chief reason is more demand than supply. While the U.S. population has grown by 28% since 1950, the number of private physicians has risen by only 14.3%. Meanwhile, the advent of Medicare and Medicaid has largely freed doctors from the old tradition of under charging needy and elderly patients...
Some beehive paintings depict fanciful versions of historical events: Ser bian warriors battling invading Turks, and even American Indians tomahawking white pioneer women on the old frontier. With the rise of world sugarcane production and the replacement of wax candles by incandescent bulbs, beekeeping has been on the decline for some time in Yugoslavia. But for the folk-art fancier, there is still plenty of honey in the old hives: genuine antique beehive paintings now bring up to $1,600 apiece. And at least one enterprising Slovenian, Vid Sedej, 28, is doing a brisk business selling his contemporary versions...
Still, Washington economy watchers were in some disagreement as to how far and how fast the economy is likely to rise amid growing labor unrest and slightly rising unemployment, and with the nation's factories running at 84.7% of capacity, the lowest figure in three years.

Its relatively restrained rise has mirrored investors' doubts about the profit prospects of some of the D.J. giants in currently or recently troubled fields: steel (U.S. and Bethlehem Steel), autos (General Motors and Chrysler), oils (Texaco, Standard of California and Jersey Standard), chemicals (Du Pont, Union Carbide and Allied Chemical) and, of course, A.T. & T., the world's largest corporation. Because all the Dow industrials have large numbers of shares...
...since Government sales should cover the difference between the 40 million oz. mined and the 160 million oz. that will be used by industry this year. But the bulls, pointing out that Government stocks will be exhausted (except for a strategic reserve) next year though demand will continue to rise, look for silver to go as high as $3 per oz. The bears, eying such untapped supplies as the two billion oz. contained in U.S. coins and some five billion oz. stashed in trinkets and religious objects in India, expect the market to settle around...
