AUGUST 1955 By the Office of Business Economics BBUSINES, S has sustained its active pace into the summer Personal Income quarter as major sectors of the economy are apparently experiencing less than the usual seasonal slack.

At the 300 consumer level, price changes have been fractional through- out the January-June period. Despite the stability of the comprehensive price averages, the strength of the business rise and particularly the strong 275 supporting role played by credit expansion have been deemed sufficient warrant for taking steps to tighten the credit supply.

From July 1950 to July 1951, the expansion was largely con- centrated on commercial, industrial, and agricultural loans. In these circumstances, the discount rates of 11 of the 12 100 Federal Reserve banks have been raised since the end of March by stages from \% to 2 percent (to 2% percent at the Cleveland bank) while home mortgage credit on Federal Government insured or guaranteed loans was tightened by 75 increasing the required downpayments and shortening the COMMODITY-PRODUCING INDUSTRIES maximum maturity periods.

    AUGUST1955 MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW 163 THE WEATHER AND CIRCULATION OF AUGUST 1955' Including the Climatological Background for Hurricanes Connie and Diane JEROME NAMIAS AND CARLOS R. DUNN Extended Forecast Section, U. S. Weather Bureau, Washington. D. C. ABSTRACT The general circulation during August 1955 was characterized by an abnormally contracted circumpolar westerly whirl and an associated northward displacement of the belt of subtropical anticyclones and subtropical easterlies. While this zonal circulation was similar in many respects to thatof the preceding July andled to a pattern of temper- ature anomaly over the United States similar to July's, the rainfall differed tremendously, particularly over the Northeast where flood-producing rains associated with hurricanes Connie and Diane replaced a regime of drought. The differences between July and August are accounted for by westward displacements of the centers of action coupled withmarkedly similar anomalous zonal circulations (i.e., displaced poleward). Theearly onset of the hurricane season is attributed to the premature northward displacement of the subtropical belt of anticyclones. The unprecedented precipitation associated with hurricanes Connie and Diane is believed to be partially related to injection of abnormally moist tropical air from an appreciably warmer than normal sea surface. The 1955 crop of hurricanes contained two early season Climatic fluctuations of shortand long durationin storms, Connie andDiane, which will furnish ample temperature, precipitation, andother

  • Harold Elstner Talbott February 4, 1953–August 13, 1955 Portrait By
    Harold Elstner Talbott February 4, 1953–August 13, 1955 Portrait by Gardner Cox AROLD ELSTNER TALBOTT was born in Dayton, Ohio, on March 31, 1888. He attended the Hill School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, and spent two years at Yale HUniversity before returning to his father’s construction company in 1911. He was vice president and general manager of the H. E. Talbott Company of Dayton, in charge of hydroelectric development and industrial construction. He remained there until 1920 and served simultaneously as vice president and general manager of the Dayton Metal Products Company (1914–20). Talbott’s interest in aviation dated from the early days of the Wright brothers. In 1915 he helped build one of the first wind tunnels for aviation experiments in Dayton. In the spring of 1916, Talbott’s father, Colonel Deeds, and Charles Kettering formed the Dayton-Wright Com- pany, a reorganization of the Orville Wright Company. The young Talbott was made president and Orville Wright became vice president and engineer. At the beginning of World War I, the Dayton-Wright Company took over the newly built Delco-Light plant. The expanded plant turned out about four hundred training planes and constructed the two-seat fighter, the DeHaviland–4, later modified to the DeHaviland–9. In October 1918 the plant, which employed twelve thousand people, produced thirty-eight planes per day and manufactured more wartime aircraft overall than any other U.S. plant. In September 1918 Talbott was commissioned a major in the Air Service of the Signal Corps. His assignment as one of a group of officers in charge of aircraft maintenance and repair in France was canceled by the armistice.

    11 April 1962 UNITED KINGDOM WAIVERS Application in Respect of Customs Duties on Bananas Report by Panel (L/1749) 1. The United Kingdom informed the secretariat on 1 June 1961 (GATT/AIR/238 (SECRET)) that they wished to "modify the binding on item 08.01 (B) in the United Kingdom tariff, fresh bananas, and subsequently to invoke in respect of this item the Decision of the CONTRACTING PARTIES of 5 March 1955 (BISD, 3rd Supp., page 21), and the Decision of 24 October 1953 (BISD, 2nd Supp., page 20), as amended on 5 March 1955 (BISD, 3rd Supp., page 25)". 2. The Government of Brazil asked to be consulted with regard to the invocation of the Decisions referred to in paragraph 1. The Government of the United Kingdom agreed to this request. 3. At the request of the Government of the United Kingdom the item was put on the agenda of the nineteenth session of the CONTRACTING PARTIES. As the United Kingdom had not yet at that time completed the renegotiations under Article XXVIII with Brazil and as the date of the next meeting of the CONTRACTING PARTIES was not definitely known, the United Kingdom delegation requested that authority be delegated to the Council to take a decision on the application of the Decisions mentioned above when the renegotiations between Brazil and the United Kingdom had been completed (L/1674). 4. The CONTRACTING PARTIES agreed on 9 December 1961, in accordance with paragraph 4 of the Procedure relating to paragraph 3(1) of the Decision of 5 March 1955, to authorize the Council to deal with the question as suggested by the United Kingdom delegation (SR.19/12, page 203).
