California businessmen foresee moderate 1956 growth
Bank of America survey of over 300 California communities shows most business and farm leaders expect a rise in 1956 but at modest levels due to tighter profit margins and intensified competition. Agricultural cash receipts are seen steady with higher costs, residential growth driven by suburban shifts, and industrial output constrained by metal material shortages. A separate note mentions I Newboles to participate in Caribbean training exercises January through March with Fleet Marine Force Atlantic.
