"Construction activity has been relatively strong in many sectors during the first half of 1971 in relation to 1970, with housing starts in the period averaging an annual rate of 1.9 million, Mr. Martens noted. "We anticipate that the annual rate of new housing starts will remain at a relatively high level during the last half of the year, resulting in a total of close to 1.9 million starts for 1971, up 28 per cent over 1970. Combined with the expected 430,000 mobile homes, this would mean 2.8 million new housing units in 1971, Martens said. Martens noted, however, that six-mon- th residential private and public housing starts exceeded the rate of 2 million starts in June, exclusive of mobile homes. "Housing starts, Martens said, "are being favorably affected by two positive factors, the continued availability of both mortgage money and experienced construction workers.

Penn Central Outlook Still 'Delicate - WASHINGTON (UPI) Congress was told July 27 that the bankrupt Penn Central railroad is showing a delicate" financial improvement but it is too early to tell whether the railroad will weather its crises. Undersecretary of Transportation M. Beggs told a Senate transportation subcommittee that if the railroad's cash position continues to improve over a 12 to 18 month period it "will have an excellent chance of becoming a viable organization. James But Beggs warned that the situation is precarious. He said the spreading rail strike, or a steel strike could change the situation drastically. "If continuing cash deficits are in sight there may be no other alternative but to restructure the system Beggs said. If that happens, Beggs said it did not mean the government would necessarily support "an un- scrambling of the Penn Central Merger and the reestablishment of the Pennsylvania and New York Central Railroads as separate organizations. "We undoubtedly would first consider a smaller Penn Central with certain parts taken over by other carriers," Beggs said. But Beggs said that it appears that the Penn Centrals cash position, while remaining at levels marginal precarious throughout the year, has improved in recent months. In his opening statement, Warren E. Magnuson, chairman of the commerce mittee, said the Nixon Sen. comad- ministration's efforts to reorganize and upgrade divisions in the health, education, and welfare department are not enough to insure product safety regulation. He said that in a bill he is cosponsoring a new independent consumer safety administration would be established, directed by a Senate approved administrator. It would have separate commissions responsible for food, drug and product safety. Magnuson said the consumer agencys safety regulations would not have to be cleared by the White House or the HEW secretary avoiding the pitfalls of departmental ambushes." billion, compared to $29.2 billion last year. The largest gains in total construction spending should be in the private sector, up 17 per cent, while the public sector should experience a more moderate 11 per cent increase. Most private construction expenditures are generally higher than last year. For example, commercial construction should account for $11.6 billion, up 11 per cent, more than twice the 1970 percentage increase, Martens said. Excluding the effects of cost increases, however, expenditures for most categories of construction are still in the declining trend. A pick up in recent contract awards suggests that the downward volume may trend in and fourth third out the bottom by non-resident- non-resident- ial quarter of 1971. Martens pointed out that the strongest drop in the sector was a 5.4 per cent decline in expenditures for industrial from $5.9 billion to $5.6 billion, reflecting some industrial over capacity. Private hospital construction on the other hand should register a less than one per cent gain as opposed to the more than 15 per cent gain in 1970. Public hospital expenditures should rise 14 per cent in 1971. Combined with the public sector, hospital spending should total a four per cent increase. Telephone and telegraph expenditures should be up approximately 12 per cent, due to the continued high demand for utility services. non-resident- Head Says Hijacking Was FAA Airlines Fault - John Federal ATLANTA (UPI) Aviation Administrator Shaffer blames H. airline "in- difference" for failure to stop a hijacker before he took over a TWA airliner recently. h The by the airline wasn't said July Shaffer there, just 25 while here to speak to a meeting of the Flying Rebels, a local pilots' organization.
