Soaring Economy Predicted for '59
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — New government data on national output indicated Monday that the U.S. economy may climb to a staggering 500-billion-dollar annual production rate by the end of the year.
The new figures, issued by the Commerce Department, showed that the nation's gross national product (GNP) in the first quarter of 1959 was at a 470 billion dollar a year rate, three billion higher than previously reported.
The second quarter (April through June) production figures, which will be released this week, will show a GNP at the annual rate of 482 billion dollars, an all-time high.
Commission Advised
GENEVA —(UPI)— Secretary of State Christian A. Herter proposed Monday that the Geneva deadlock over Berlin be broken by converting the present Big Four conference into a permanent commission on Germany with East and West German advisers.
Building Control Outside City Limits Found Uncommon
Only a few Kansas cities exercise building control and inspection outside their corporate limits, reports the Governmental Research Center at the University of Kansas.
Five of 27 Kansas cities with a population over 10,000 were found to enforce building controls. Such regulation is usually based upon utility extension requirements. In some cases the authority is vested in county boards of commissioners to enact zoning regulations.
Liberal and Emporia require fringe dwellers to conform to city building, electrical and plumbing codes before certain city owned utilities are extended to the premises. In Liberal, private gas and electric
Khrushchev Cancels Scandinavian Visit
STOCKHOLM — (UPI) — Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev Monday abruptly canceled a scheduled tour of four Sandinavian nations. A formal Soviet note said the surprise decision was due to a bitter press campaign against the visit and threats of anti-Soviet demonstrations.
utilities aid enforcement by suspending service to fringe dwellers who fail to comply with city codes.
Hutchinson and Manhattan, through co-operation with city-county planning commissions, have influenced the passage of county zoning regulations which require issuance of building permits for all structures erected within three miles of the city limits. One city, El Dorado, seeks to enforce building control within a three-mile radius of the city by virtue of its power to regulate subdivision of that area.

The Dutch are master dairymen. They have been keeping breeding records on all their cows since 1870. They were the first people in the world to practice artificial insemination of their livestock, beginning in 1872.
Special to the Summer Kansan By Jerry Knudson
Amsterdam is a beautiful city—clean, quiet, and solid as the sturdy Dutch dignity. Worthy of visits are the Rijksmuseum, where the most famous Rembrandts may be seen, and the Stedemuseum, which houses a dazzling collection of Van Goghs.
Holland survived the German invasion and occupation during World War II—one may see the warehouse where Anne Frank and her family hid from the Nazis—and the terrible floods of 1953 which swept over most of southeast Holland near the Belgian border.
Sturdy, Good-Natured Dutch a Rugged Race
Each farmer is required to clean his canals and ditches twice a year. The object of all this work is the herds of sleek Holstein cows grazing placidly on the flat Dutch countryside.
The Dutch never fill in a body of water—they always pump the water out. The extensive system of canals—more than 1,800 miles of them or enough to reach from New York to Kansas City—is used to drain off the back seepage of water as well as for irrigation purposes.
Right now a great national project is underway to drain the Zuyder Zee and turn it into lush farming land. The project is scheduled to be completed by 1985. More than half a million people will be able to live on the new polders, or drained lakes.
As a result, the rate of production is amazingly high. Each cow produces about six gallons of rice milk a day which will make a five-pound, round Dutch cheese.
The Dutch want to export more of this cheese to the U.S. Right now, they are hampered by import laws demanded by the dairymen of Wisconsin. Dutch dairy imports are strictly limited to less than half a million dollars a year. Yet the Dutch buy 11 million dollars worth of goods from us.
AMSTERDAM, Holland—Only one word really fits the Dutch, and that is "sturdy."
(Editor's Note: Jerry Knudson, former instructor of journalism, is touring Europe this summer. This is the fourth of a series of letters.)
But the Dutch are profiting from the ever-increasing American tourist trade. Last year more people visited the Netherlands than in all the 12 years preceding the war. Of course, the World's Fair at Brussels helped.
These good-natured people have carved out a life for themselves on the very shelf of the continent and are continually pushing back the North Sea.
Good Queen Juliana reigns over her tiny realm like a housewife presides over her pantry, and the Dutch are a happy people.
