(Continued from page 1) of the conflicts will try to secure help in the form of munitions from both Russia and the United States, but none of these will develop into serious conflicts. 23. The "cold war," now existing between Russia and the United State®, will continue through 1966. 24. The hydrogen bomb and the guided missle will be the greatest international factor for diplomatic trading during 1956. This trading will hold down the price of big- city property. 25. The Republicans will turn slightly "New Dealish" during 1956 and this will bring on a live ly and heated Presidential cam paign. 26. Democrats are uncertain as to what their policy will he in 1%6. Stevenson is a liberal; hut more conservative than many Democrats. Kefauver appeals to the masses, while Harriman leans to the left However, some “dark Horse" may run off with the Democratic nomination. 27. Some taxes will be reduced during 1956. These cuts will try to favor all voters slightly; but the largest benefits will go to low- income groups. 28. The farm problem—concern ing higher price parities—will be the center of the most political fights. 29. The cost of living will in crease only slightly during 1956. We, however, must not forget what weather can do to produc tion, prices, and even to the stock market. 30. All the above means that there is now in sight no reason for further inflation during 19 l 66. Certainly I look for no runaway price climb. OUTLOOK FOR COMMODITIES 31. I am not a crop expert, but my associates’ forecast for 1956 is as follows: (1) Further acreage reductions that will be largely off set by soaring yields resulting from intensified cultivation; (2) expanded farm subsidies that will mildly bolster crop prices and farm income compared with the 1955 averages. 32. Although wheat and corn prices depend upon both shifting weather and foreign conditions, for 1956 I forecast moderately higher prices for the major grains, based on increased subsidies to be voted by Congress. 33. Industrial prices will enter the new year on a high plateau and should be well maintained to possibly firmer during the fore part of 1956. Later, as business fal ters, look for selective easing in this group. 34. Steel in 1956 will average higher in price tham for all of this year. Do not look for any price cut in this key metal, even if business slackens. 35. Nonferrous metals in 1956 should movq with the Babson- chart Index. High prices in early weeks may be followed by Selec tive weakness. Zinc and lead may be the first to give a tip-off on the coming downtrend, but cop per eventually is riding for the greatest fall. 36. Processed and frozen foods should advance only slightly in price as increased labor costs are offset by mew machinery and competition intensifies. Early firmness in textiles should be fol lowed by some late-year weakness. 37. There will probably be more leisure time during 1956. This should help the entertainment group, including sports, travel— and possibly the petroleum indus try. 38. During 1956 I hope that school teachers will be paid more money. But, in order not to have increased municipal taxes, school committees must develop some method of either improving the ef ficiency of the schools, or reduc ing the time necessary for com pleting studies. 39. More people will continue during 1956 to return to the help of religion. However, statistics on church membership unfortun ately cannot be entirely depended upon. STOCKS AND BONDS 40. Interest rates will start the year at high levels, but later I look for some easing to help the building industry. The present Ad ministration will not allow high money costs to bring about unem ployment. 41. Seasoned dividemd-paying stocks will do better in 1966 than the more speculative issues. Stocks will follow’ individual pros pects more closely, rather than the curve of business entirely. 42. There will be one or two bad breaks during 1956. Rialroad stocks will move lower. Biggest declines are likely in auto and residential I - 1 building - materials stocks. Utilities will hold up best. 43. I am not making any exten sive recommendations, hut prefer to select smaller, well-seasoned, undervalued situations for secur ity and good long-range prospects. Those in which I have great confi dence are the top-ten group of va riety chain-store stocks. 44. If the rallies continue to he less impressive than the declines in the stock market, I feel that the money managers -will reduce stock margins before long. 45. Bank, Insurance Company, and certain Investment Trust stocks should comtinne to be a refuge for the uncertain investor and for those who seek security and income without reference to prices or marketability. 46. Aircraft stocks in 1956 may suffer from increased government renegotiation. This will be a ser ious threat if the Democrats win Stoudemayer Rites At Church Monday Funeral services for Joseph Ray Stoudemayer, 35, who was killed Saturday night by a shotgun acci dent at his home in Peak, were conducted Monday afternoon from ML Herman Lutheran Church by the Rev. C. L. Richardson. Inter ment was in the Peak Cemetery. Sheriff Tom M. Fellers said he was told that Stoudemayer came jnto his home with a singlo-barrel 12-gauge shotgun and told his wife, Christine, he believed- he would "end It all,” Mrs. Stoudemayer told the sher iff she attempted to get the gun away from her husband and it went off, killing him instantly. A coroner’s jury has been empaneled by Deputy Coroner Kirksey Mar tin. Mr. Stoudemayer was born and reared near Peak, son of Mrs. Wil lie Livingston Stoudemayer and the late Joseph Stoudemayer. He had spent most of his life at Peak, where he was a member of Mt. Herman Lutheran Church. A former employe' of the South Carolina Electric and Gas Co., he had worked at Parr Shoals Plaint for 17 years, and at the time of his death was an electrician. Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Christine Hentz Stoudemayer; four daughters, Barbara Ray, Car- roll Ann, Peggy Joyce and Donna Jo Stoudemayer of the home; one sister, Mrs. A. B. Koon of Peak, and a number of uncles and aunts, nieces and nephews.

Soundly financed natural gas stocks should continue to en joy good growth during the year ahead. 48. We will hear much more about new Industry and new in ventions during 1956. Many very important developments are on drawing boards and in test tubes. 49. Canadian stocks have reach ed their peaks for this cycle. This includes the uranium craze. On the other hand, the time is co: when the greatest stock market profits will be in connection with Canadian stocks. 60. Economic education will con tinue more and more a factor throughout 1956. The advertising which the New York Stock Ex change is now suhsadiztng will continue. This will he followed by labor-union and educational pro grams. The growth of colleges and institutes of business administra tion will continue. I now see no depression ahead for 1956, but, of course, stock prices will not ‘grow to the skies” and there must be a sad readjustment some day. Investors are already begin ning to switch from common to preferred stocks, and especially to non-taxahle bonds.
