Resolution Promises Light Recovery Momentum for 1959
The piece notes Congress faces a friendly session with a Fed pledge to back the recovery with ample money and credit yet curb speculation. Banks promise mortgage funds unless inflation or tight money curbs funding. Corporations plan large spending this year, possibly lifting 1958 spending slightly. Despite optimism, costs threaten gains as inflation and wages rise, with the National Association of Credit Management forecasting a price index surge by midyear. Meanwhile, tax withholdings rise as social security deductions grow, shaving take home pay for workers earning 4800 or more, leaving less to cover expenses like Christmas bills.
