Windup Of Manufacture lnYonkersSetForl960
."NEW YORK-Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. will take over from Otis Elevator Co. the manufacture. Mi^tallation and service of the Brunswick a u t o m a t i c pinset-t^f starring in 1960. it was announced by B*. E.-Bensinger, president of Brunswick and Leroy A.' Petersen, president of Otis.
These services have been performed by Otis for Brunswick under periodically renewable contracts since the automatic pinsetter was introduced in 1958. Much of the production has been carried on by Otis at its Yonkers plant.
The present arrangement will continue through 1959 and until the facility which Brunswick is planning for the purpose is in full operation—so that delivery installation and service of the present product can be maintained without interruption, it was said. ' "The outstanding performance
and services of Otis Elevator from its first introduction of our pinsetter are deeply appreciated by Brunswick," Bensinger stated. Integrated Policy
"The relationship has been highly satisfactory and we look forward to continued cooperation between the two companies. Brunswick is undertaking the operations previously performed by Otis in

accordance with its general policy to be fully integrated.
"Our experience and market studies indicate that for an indefinite period ahead there will be a high and steady demand for Brunswick automatic pinsetters. It is therefore, both feasible and sound business for Brunswick to make, install and service its own product.
"Our decision, moreover, appears to fit in with Otis Elevator's program for its primary interests," Bensinger said. Otis Statement
Otis Elevator values highly the business which it has had from Brunswick since 1956, Petersen stated for Otis.
"We are glad to have contributed our talents and capacity toward the marketing of an automa tic pinsetting device ' that has proved effective, rugged and trou ble-free.
"Our elevator business has con tinued at a high level and the facilities to be released by the trans fer of the pinsetter production to Brunswick can, we believe, be put to very good use. We will be pleased indeed to continue to cooperate fully with Brunswick, Petersen added.
Brunswick recently installed 20,000th pinsetter.

ROTARY TOLD OF GAME
Otis Pinsetters Serve 20,000 Bowling Lanes
IRVING A.J. LAWRES of Alger Court, Bronxville, a vice president of the Manhattan Savings Bank in New York City, has been elected a trustee of the bank. He has been with the bank since 1942 and has been a vice president since 1944. Mr. Lawres is a former secretary of the National Assn. of Supervisors-of State Banks and president of the Savings Bank Life Insurance Council and Savings Banks Public Relations Forum and is a member of the members' council of the Commerce and Industry Assn. of New York.
Otis Elevator Co. already has produced about 20.000 automatic pinsetters for bowling — enough to serve 25 per cent of the nation's 80.000 registered bowling lanes — the Yonkers Rotary Club was told yesterday afternoon at a luncheon in Tropical Acres.
The Yonkers Rotarians a n d scores of guests listened to Joseph Anthony, manager of Brunswick's Automatic Pinsetter Inc., who was introduced by Vean L. Geyer, general works manager of Otis Elevator. No Hint of Separation
Both praised each other's operations warmly without giving even a; hint of the decision by Brunswick to sever the Otis tieup next year — a development jointly announced a few hours later by their national company executives.
.Indeed, in commenting on the
Otis production in volume of the pinsetter, atfer exhaustive tests, Mr. Anthony called the relationship "still a sound situation."
The speaker sketched the history of bowling, which he said predates the Christian era; said the Dutch introduced the game to this area, and he told ol the varieties in the game — tenpins nationally played, candlepins in New England,, duckpins in New England and the Washington-Baltimore district, rubber band ducks in West Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh, and five pins in Canada.
Growth in the last five years, he said, has been phenomenal, largely due to increased leisure, TV-won popularity and the automatic pinsetter. Bowling is now the largest participation sport in the USA, he said. Lush Centers Described
He described lush bowling centers being developed, replete with nurseries, ample parking, closed circuit TV to keep an eye on nurseries and parking lots.
Bowling nets an average annual profit of 30 per cent on the investment, he said, depending on location, promotion and other factors. He estimated costs as $13,000 a lane for equipment, not including building, bar and restaurant and parking facilities. Eight parking spaces per lane are needed, he said.
The Otis installations, said Mr., Anthony, are capable of at least 200 games without malfunction — the first production machine still m operation here under round-the-clock, round-the-year settings and already running the equivalent of 13 years.
Each machine has 5,600 parts weighs 2,300 pounds, and is made of steel, aluminum, rubber, nylon, wood, a one-horsepower motor and a 'mechanical 'brain" to do the selective work after each plav.

Thiokol Gets Subcontract On Missile
Goodyear Aircraft Corp. announced it has granted a "multi-million dollar" subcontSkct to Thiokol Chemical Co. for design and development of the propellant portion of the propulsion system for "Subroc."
"Subroc" is a new antisubmarine missile system under development for the Naval Bureau of Ordnance. Goodyear Aircraft is charged with design and development of the propulsion system.
R Y E -Continental Baking Co. expects
to report 1958 net earnings that "will be pretty well ahead" of the previous year 's net of $7,761.-715 or 54.62 a common share,' R. Newton Laughlin of 22 Kempster Rd., Scarsdale, president stated yesterday.
In a Dow Jones interview he noted that earnings in the first 39 weeks last year were equal to S3.37 a share compared with $3.21 on fewer shares in 1957's corresponding period. This gain, he said, continued in the fourth quarter.
Continental's total sales in 195S, he "said, exceeded the prior year's volume of $307,876,750.
Included in 195S's total will be four weeks of sales of Omar Inc. and three weeks of sales of Rochester Bread Co., recent Continental Baking acquisitions.
Even without the addition of sales from these acquisitions Continental's volume last year would be above 1957 sales.
Sales of another recent acquisition. Braun Baking Co. ol Pittsburgh, will not be included in Continental's 195S volume. This firm was acquired by an exchange of 47,000 Continental shares valued at $1,927,000 at the time of the agreement. Declining Offset
L a u g h 1 i n said Continental's bread sales were ahead of the earlier year's total despite declines in some of the recession-affected industrial sections during the first half of 1958.
In two of these areas. Detroit and Cleveland, sales have since

Youngstown have been slow to return to former levels.
In these areas Continental Baking is still encountering some price-cutting. It also faces competition from lower-price breads being offered by supermarkets under their own labels.
Total consumption of specialty breads is continuing to grow, he said, but competition is also' becoming greater in this field. Continental's specialty breads include Daffodil. Profile and Staff. Froien Food Report
Laughlin said the company's Morton frozen foods division will show a small loss for 1958. He added, however, that in the fourth quarter it operated at a profit.
He explained that although frozen food prices have improved they are still too low. Continental Baking produces frozen meat and fruit pies, prepared dinners and other specialties.
Contental Baking, he said, . is "always on the lookout for further acquisition but currently we have no negotiations under way."
He said that t he ' company has some nesv products under development but none is ready yet for launching.
"For the long pull, we think that research will be very important," Laughlin said.
During 1957 it opened extensive new laboratories at Rye where it does basic food research as well as fundamental research in bread and cake baking and other projects connected with the company's operations.
At these laboratories, he said, the company teaches its bakers how.to be chemists and its chem-

U.S. Construction Set To Spend $52 Billion
Plastic Prices Phillips Chemical Co.. subsidiary
of Phillips Petroleum Co., is cutting by five cents a pound the price of Marlex, its rigid high-density polyethylene plastic.
Some other producers said they will follow Phillips' action.
Rigid polyethylene is used mainly in- making plastic specialties; it goes into some housewares and plastic waste cans and garbage pails. It also Is used in making "hula-hoops," and certain automobile parts.
By Dow Jones News Service Construction outlays last year
climbed to a record 49 billion dollars and the government looks for a further rise to 52 billion in 1959.
While 1958 expenditures were 2 per cent above 1957 Commerce and Labor department experts said price increases accounted for nearly all the gain.
Cigarettes Philip Morris Inc. president Jo
seph F. Cullman 3rd forecast sales of all cigarette makers this year will be 3 per cent above 1958.
Trade sources have placed last year's retail sales at over 4 billion dollars. Cullman said the 1959 increase was about 4.5 per cent over 1957.
Pfizer Chas. Pfizer & Co. Inc. said it
has marketed a new drug to treat stomach ulcers. The drug is Dari-con and is taken orally.
Pfizer emphasized the drug is not a cure—ulcers usually clear up by themselves, officials explained, with the help of rest and proper food.
Auto Sales New car sales improved in the
final third of December, topping the year-earlier pace for the first time in 1958.
Dealers retailed an average of 21,525 cars in the eight selling days of the Dec. 21 to 31 period. This was 10.2 per cent above the 1957 interval.
December's closing rush brought total sales for the month to 489.-000 cars, highest for any month since August 1957.

Treasury Bills The treasury again sought to tap
the money market for an extra 200 million dollars in new cash by increasing1 the amount oi its bill offering.
The department invited bids on 2 billion dollars of bills for cash and in exchange for $1,800,000,000 • k coming due Jan. 15. The new bills | 1 will consist of SI .600.000.000 of 13-week issues and 400 million of 26-week bills.
Cargo Rates Rates on cargo being shipped
between Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports and the west coast of South America will be increased effective March 1.
The rate increases will vary according to the type of cargo and are expected to produce an increase of about 10 per cent in revenues on the goods affected. — Rates will be raised on roughly 70 per cent of the cargo moving on this route.
Atlantic Refining Atlantic Refining Co. has ac
quired a one-year option for an 80 per cent interest in 1,250,000 acres of oil concession in Bolivia held by Drilling & Exploration Co. Inc.

Force Reserve. Reared in Texas, Col. Miller is a former ranch-hand who has chased strays on horseback and in the air.
Other passengers w e r e Lt. George A. Hoffman of the White Plains Police Department, and Charles Teichert, a commercial pilot and flying instructor.
Forty minutes after they took off, the posse returned without having spotted their quarry. The weather offered no excuse. It was a beautiful afternoon, and the ceiling and visibility were reported as unlimited. Docile Horsed Seen
The only large animals they managed to sight were three or four horses on the grounds of the Kentucky Riding Academy in Harrison.
On the second flight, the sheriff and Lt. Hoffman were replaced by Richard M. McLaughlin, director of the Division of Sanitation of the County Health Department and this reporter. The Health Department has taken an interest in the matter, McLaughlin explained, because the steers are dangerous (one has already injured a .man) and to help in sanitary disposal of the remains if the animals die or are shot.
Col. Miller took his plane up to 1,000 feet, headed south, and began a second scrutiny of an area he estimated at about 75 square miles, from Rye Lake south to the Northern tip of Mount Vernon, west almost to the Yonkers reservoir, arid east to the Scars-dale Country Club.
Watch Water Hole He dipped his wings alternately,
especially studying areas around isolated houses, golf courses, and little clumps of bushes. So did his passengers. No one spotted the steers.
"They must be in the woods," the colonel said. "About sundown, they'll be needing water."
Noting that one of the few watering places not frozen over was the old source of the New Rochelle water supply in the Bronxville-Tuckahoe area, Col. M i l l e r scanned that area carefully and said he would make additional flights over it. After 30 fruitless minutes the plane came -down again. Owner In Court
Meanwhile, back in White Plains City Court, Joseph G. Prior, superintendent of the Norda farm, appeared yesterday, charged by police with violating Sect. 95 of the State Agricultural Law for failing to corral his animals. His case was adjourned to today.
Before the flights, Sheriff Hoy explained he had planned them after the Scarsdale Police Department and the Health Department expressed concern over the peril
to health and safety posed by the steers.
He said he hoped to learn the animals' location by air and inform police of nearby communities who could keep them bottled up until it can be decided what to do with them. The sheriff mentioned two possible fates: shooting, or tranquilizing with pellets from a special air gun. The latter would make the animals docile enough to capture. Steers Dangerous
McLaughlin warned residents that the animals are "very dangerous" and persons should call police after sighting them. Under no circumstances, he said, should residents attempt to capture the steers.
Sheriff Hoy and Col. Miller (the colonel, incidentally, supplied both the plane and his piloting services free), both said they hoped to continue the air search today if the animals were not found.
Col. Miller sounded especially determined. "If those . . . cows are in Westchester County, I'll find 'em," he vowed.

AT&T. 'Net' At New High
NEW YORK (UPI) —American Telephone & Telegraph Co. the world's biggest business enterprise, reported today its net income in 1958 climbed to a record $744,090,000, equal to $10.95 a share.

The Smith mills at closing had 2,200 workers, he said; now 51 companies in the same buildings, with diversified operations, employ 5,-400 persons and have a $10 million to $12 million annual payroll. Mr, Appleyard predicted the employment in that industrial center soon will rise to at least 6,000. 2. Edmund J.

He called it "just the beginning of quite a development for Yonkers," with nine million ground feet available for industrial construction, something Yonkers long has needed.
