Production gains brighten economy
Page 10
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — U.S. industrial production surged 1.1 percent in January—the largest increase in five months—buying prospects for more factory jobs and a robust economy in the first part of this year, the Federal Reserve said yesterday.
Record-low inventories helped push factories, mines, oil wells and utility companies to produce in January at a rate almost 3 percent higher than the peak reached in 1981, before the last recession.
The production figures and Tuesday's report of a 2.2 percent increase in January retail sales confirmed an increase in both the demand and in consumer demand for them — a trend that surprised analysts.
January was another good month for auto sales and there was a sharp rebound in many industries that had
slumped late last year. Industrial production was up only 0.6 percent in December and 0.3 percent in November, the Fed said.
In a separate report the Commerce Department yesterday said that business inventories increased only 0.4 percent in December, not enough to keep the closely watched ratio of inventories to sales recorded low. Only 1.31 months of supply were on hand at month's end.
The broadest measure of business sales for December was up 2.4 percent over November, a 17 per cent increase in revenue, the department said yesterday.
"The inventory-sales ratio suggests we are still in the very early stages of a business expansion," the CEO said. The chief economist Robert Ortner, said.
Auto assembly lines were moving 2.5 percent faster in January in addition to of a 3.7 percent gain in December.
Government suggests treating fresh produce with radiation
By United Press International
Farmers, middlemen and consumers reacted with skepticism yesterday to a government proposal to treat fruits and vegetables with radiation instead of chemicals that have been linked to cancer.
"There is a tremendous amount of enthusiasm from the same people who brought us nuclear power to the Public Citizen Health Research Group in Washington.
Health and Human Services Secretary Margaret Heckler on Tuesday proposed permitting irradiation of fruits and vegetables as an eventual replacement for chemicals like EBD (ethylbenzoic), which have been linked to cancer.
The irradiation process for killing insects and bacteria in food products has been under study for several years, is touted by proponents as safe for food use, and according to Heckler, has been approved for use in 28 countries.

Conservatives campaign against Mondale
DES MOINES, Iowa — Republicans grabbed the spotlight in the Iowa caucuses yesterday as the head of a controversial New Right committee launched a $2 million campaign against Democratic front-runner Walter Mondale.
By United Press International
Terry Dolan, chairman of the National Conservative Political Action Committee, said the campaign would begin with television, radio and newspaper advertising in New Hampshire, which includes the nation's first primary Ech. 28.

Mondale has been criticized by his rivals for making promises they say he won't be able to keep to various groups and organizations, who have endorsed his candidacy.
Bob Bickel, manager of Mondale's campaign in Washington, denounced NCAPC's tactics, saying, "The political arm of the radical right is trying to mediate in the Democratic primaries in its dual tactic — negative advertising."

"No politician in modern political life, with the possible exception of Ted Kennedy, has established a more advanced board than Walter Mondale." Dolan said.
The conservative anti-Mondale campaign drew quick and angry fire from the front-runner's chief rival, Sen John Glenn of Ohio, who ordered NCPAC to "get out."
negativism had been rejected by voters in the past and that they would reject it
"I deploy NCPAC coming into any state with their ties, their misrepresentations ... which border on the slanderous," Glenn said in St. Petersburg, Fla. "We don't need NCPAC bring itself into Democratic politics."
"Walter Mondale's history is one of big taxes, big government, big spending, big deficits, more government defense," he said.
Dolan said the new campaign was to "expose the regular and completely
Dolan said the campaign would ask the public to consider: "If you think things were bad under Vice President Walter Mondale, imagine how bad they will be under President Walter Mondale."
