ECONOMISTS VIEWED the surge in factory orders, the reduction of inventories and the slight gain in construction spending as confirmation that a recovery from the recession may be near, if not already under way. Roberts, the AFL-CIO economist, said workers can take little immediate encouragement from the increase in business activity because "the pickup in employment and the pickup in Jobs lags behind the pickup in business activity by several months." "Employers Just don't hire new workers or don't rehire old workers in line with a pickup in business activity because they don't know how far the recovery is going," Roberts said. translate itself into more Jobs for unemployed workers." In the la test signal of an upturn, the Commerce Department said new factory orders posted their biggest gain in 21 years in April while inventories of unsold goods in stock were reduced at the fastest rate in 17 years. New orders Increased $4.71 billion to $78.59 billion, a 6.4 Increase.

The April increase, paced by a 9.7 increase in orders for durable goods, was the sharpest since a 7.3 surge in December, 1954. During the same period, inventories dropped $1.15 billion or 0.8 to $50.04 billion. It was the steepest reduction in Inventories since a 1.1 decline in May, 1958. Meanwhile, shipments of goods increased for the first time since last August, rising 4 THE COMMERCE Department also said construction spending increased 0.6 in April. However, By UP International The government said Monday factory orders took their sharpest jump in 20 years and the supply of unsold goods was cut sharply in April, providing even more evidence of an end to the recession.

But millions of persons still can't find Jobs. Alan Greenspan, chairman of President Ford's Council of Economic Advisers, told Congress there was "fairly clear evidence that the recession's forces are spent." THE STOCK market also was encouraged by the latest government reports on the economy, and prices on the New York Exchange rose sharply for the second consecutive trading Mark Roberts, chief economist for the AFL-CIO, said the union was "happy to see any Indications that the economy may be turning up. But what's good for business in the short term may take a long time to ideast April spending of $121.7 billion still was 18 below April of last year. The Department originally reported a 0.2 gain in March over February but Monday said public construction spending was lower than expected and revised the statistic to show a loss of 4.7. Greenspan told a congressional hearing that once recovery gets going, the "momentum" may be enough to make a substantial dent in unemployment.

But Greenspan told a Joint economic subcommittee he was not confident enough to expand his personal view into a prediction. Labor Secretary John T. Dunlop said he felt the economy "ought to do better" than the 7.9 unemployment rate forecast by the administration for 1976, "and I have the view that the recovery may be a little sharper than that." Dunlop made his comment in an interview for public television.

Vander-hoof told Cincinnati City Council Finance Committee Monday. Vanderhoof said rates must go up $1 a month per connection. He said he would like to have the higher rates in effect by January 1, 1977.

He told of the necessity of rate increase during a review of the proposed $50.5 million, five-year MSD capital improvements program through 1980.

American sources said Mr.

Ford agreed in principle to accept Sadat's invitation to Cairo, but no date was set. Mr. Ford told the news conference, "My reassessment (of U.S. Middle East policy) will be completed with a plan that I will submit at the appropriate time." "In the weeks ahead, I will have further consultations that I trust will lead to the overall objective I seek of a permanent peace that will be in the best interests of all the parties." Kissinger, calling the Ford-Sadat meeting "very constructive," said: "The purpose was not for detailed negotiations on an interim agreement. Rather it was to let them look over the various roads to peace and see which is the most promising." KISSINGER SAID the Israeli move was constructive and "has clearly the intention of easing possible Egyptian concern about Israeli artillery in range of the canal." He called it "a helpful contribution to the process that the United States is attempting to encourage."

Cissell has been proposing the city consider filing suit or withdrawing from MSD because of the inequality between city and county of sewer service charge income. More money will be needed to pay for the program, Vanderhoof said. The program involves a change of policy by the county against spending MSD funds for solving combined sanitary-storm sewer problems.

The contention in the past has been that MSD funds must be spent only on sanitary sewer work and not for storm sewers. R.A. Anderegg, county administrator, said it has been possible to relax this position and Include Francisco showed prices ranging from $2.50 to $11.75 for 100 tablets of raudin, a high blood pressure remedy. A commission staff study cited similar results from surveys In other areas. "It is a curious set of values which says that the consumer may be given full Information about discretionary purchases such as deodorant and mouthwash but cannot be given information that will help him save money on nondlscretion-ary purchases such as drugs which a doctor has prescribed as essential to his good health," Engman said.

The FTC proposal would not only make its regulation, which has the force of law, superior to state laws but would also lay down ground rules for drugstores which choose to advertise prices. Among other things, drug price ads would with an Increase In fringe benefits of 20 cents an hour, said Tom Moore, union business manager.

Painters District Council, 600 members, ratified a contract Friday AP Laserphoto funds for solving combined sewer problems in Cincinnati because the state and federal governments have backed off their stand against combined sewers.

ANDEREGG SAID he was "dismayed" at the talk of equal spending in the city and county, noting that MSD was set up to solve problems countywide. The original thrust of the MSD was to provide treatment facilities, Anderegg explained. Now it is In a position to solve sewer problems, too, but more funds will be required, Anderegg added. Cissell was pleased with what he considered a "new policy" of MSD'S spending money on salving combined sewer problems and asked that his motion on considering filing suit or withdrawing from MSD be filed without action. have to warn that prices vary widely and consumers should shop wisely.

THE PRINCIPLE of price advertising is endorsed by the National Association of Chain Drugstores and opposed by the American Pharmaceutical Association, which represents the professionals who fill the prescriptions. Carl Roberts, associate general counsel for the pharmacists trade association said his organization does not prohibit furnishing consumers with price information on request, but "advertising is intended to and has the effect of creating a demand." He said even though people cannot buy a prescription without a specific order from a doctor, the advertising would put pressure on conditions and lead to drug abuse.

FTC Proposes Rule To Allow Advertising Of Drug Prices SALZBURG, Austria (UPI) -President Ford and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat ended two days of talks Monday and said they had generated momentum in the long effort toward Middle Eastern peace. The talks produced no firm agreements beyond a U.S. promise of more economic aid to Egypt and an Egyptian invitation to Mr.

Ford to visit Cairo. But the meeting, plus the announcement from Tel Aviv that Israel will thin out its forces on its Sinai front with Egypt, strongly indicated diplomatic deals In the making. SADAT, IN an interview with the National Broadcasting called the partial Israeli pullback "a very encouraging act a step toward peace. They should not fear peace." Israel said it will withdraw half of its troops and even more of its weapons from the Sinai Desert front lines as a gesture of goodwill toward Egypt coinciding with the reopening of the Suez Canal. Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin said at a news conference in Tel Aviv he expected Egypt to reciprocate by permitting cargo bound for Israel to sail through the canal.

Egyptian officials said the Israeli action is a step toward peace if it Is "genuine and not an empty move for propaganda purposes." (They said further study would be needed before Egypt decides whether to make a "positive response" such as allowing Israeli cargo to pass through the canal on ships of other nations). "I DIDN'T ask the President to drop the special relationship between the United States and Israel at all," Sadat said. "Perhaps," said Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, "we are moving into a period where some momentum toward peace can be achieved." "The peace process will be a long one," Sadat warned in a news conference he and Mr. Ford held.

But he called Mr. Ford "honest, straightforward, peace-loving and a peace struggler." Mr. Ford, who flies today to Rome and then back to Washington, said that after his meeting in Washington June 11-12 with Rabin, he would submit a Middle East peace plan "at the appropriate time." The President said he and Sadat "concluded extensive discussions." It was their first meeting and they spent three and a half hours In full talks with Kissinger and other aides, plus another six hours together at three state dinners.

U.S. sources in Madrid said they had no knowledge that the current base negotiations were following the course described by Informaciones. Following the weekend visit by President Ford to Madrid, Arthur Hartman, assistant secretary of State for European affairs, told newsmen that Mr. Ford and Generalissimo Francisco Franco had expressed confidence that a new agreement will be reached. He added details had not been discussed.

WASHINGTON (AP)-The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), estimating that comparison shopping for prescription drugs could save consumers over $130 million a year, Monday proposed regulations overturning state prohibitions against advertising prescription drug prices. The commission said such advertising is restricted by various laws in 34 states and effectively blocked even in the 16 other states by pharmiclsts codes of ethics and consumer ignorance of wide divergence in prices for the same drugs.
