Industry Output Climbs Toward Peacetime Peak
Industry output in May rose 2 percent from April and reached 93 percent above the 1935-39 average, near the postwar peak of late 1948. Durable goods led gains with steel and passenger cars at new highs, while minerals like iron ore and oil also rose. textiles, paper, rubber and chemicals added modest gains. The May figure, based on an early June estimate by the Federal Reserve Board, suggests continued strength toward a peacetime peak as trends point to further gains in June.
