Noting that economic growth in- evitably is uneven in an age of recurring military crises and read- justment, Dr. Schmidt emphasized that short-term ups and downs do not alter the outlook for rising national prosperity.

"Even if 1955 should not top our very best year, long-run growth is in clear prospect."

Among the brightest 1955 fore- casts from the industry spokesman were:

Efrpecls To Sell Steel Plant 'l'o Cyrus Eaton

NEW YORK (AP) - Financier Frederick Richmond said Saturday he expects to sell the Follanshec steel plant at Follansbee, W. Va... to Cyrus Eaton next Thursday.

"We expect the closing to be done in Pittsburgh on that date,” Richmond said. "We are very happy that it has worked out this way and that we were able to save the plant for the town of Follans- bee, even though it meant a sub- stantial loss to me and to Repub- lic steel."

The Follansbee Steel Corp. agreed to sell the company to Richmond, who in turn agreed to sell that plant and equipment at Follansbee, W. Va.. to Republic Steel Corp. Republic planned to move the equipment to its Alabama plant-a proposal which brought a court action by persons opposing the closure of the plant. A judge's letter was obtained pre- venting further action.

Later, Eaton Cleveland indus- trialist .and native of Pugwasli N. 5. announced that Richmond would sell the West Virginia plant to him and that he would keep it operating.

Richmond said Saturday that "we hope the judge will change his letter." thus making the clos- ing of the deal with Eaton pos- llble.

Richmond declined to say what Eaton would pay for the plant. ex- cept that it would be "substantially less" than Republic steel proposed paying.

OTTAWA (CP) - The Federal government is planning an agri- cultural experiment on the shores of Ungnva bay which may mean a. new way of life for the Eskimo: in that sub-Arctic region.

Next summer. if all goes well. a nucleus herd of some 50 Cana- dian sheep of a hardy type will be shipped to the Fort Chimo area of northern Quebec.

An experienced herdsmsn will go llong to teach the Eskimos about sheep.

ESKIMOS INTERESTED

If the experiment is a success, more sheep and possibly other types of animals may be sent to the area. The 500 Eskimos who inhabit the long rounded shoreline of Ungava bay will be encouraged to go into animal husbandry in a big way. both to supplement their disappearing food supply and to earn money.

The Eskimos In the region al- ready are interested and are being encouraged by white residents in the raising of such staple crops as potatoes which will grow to maturity in the short growing sea- son belween July and September.

Northern affairs experts here ex- plain that the ordinary roving-hunt- fishing life of the Eskimo was dis- rupted with defcnce developments which brought the white man to Ungava. Then the Eskimos tended to congregate and take odd jobs.

Iu addition their traditional food supply seems to be disappearing. There now are few. if any, caribou in the Chimo area; the seal herds are depleted and fishing is not what it once was.

Last summer a team of experts from the agricult. :e and northern affairs departments made a sur- vc-ry of the district south of Fori Chimo. They trudged 75 miles south of Chimo along the False river and also investigated the Koksoak river basin. .-

PLENTY OF MOSQUITOES

They found some good growing soil along the river banks, also found black flies and mosquitoes aplenty and even in the summer heat there was permafrost 14 to l8 inches under the soil.

The core of their findings was that the area was capable, within certain limitations. of maintaining livestock, providing the animals could stand the climate and the
