Decline Noted For Production in U S

The index slipped 2 percent from October to 139 percent of the 1947-49 base, lowest since mid-1955 except for 1956 when steel strikes boosted it. Construction activity remained high with private housing starts near one million annual units and construction expenditures around 48% billion dollars, while home builders urge liberalized housing credit to spur 1958 residential construction.
