U. S. INCOME GAIN
The personal income of Ameri
cans measured in dollars, hite a
new high in June. It mounted to
a rate which would total 193 bil
lion dollars if extended over a
full year, the Commerce Depart,
mnt announced Thursday.
The total was $1,200,000,000
more than the previous record
reached in March and $1,500,000,
000 above the May figure.
The upswing mainly was due,
the department said, to greater
payments of wager and salaries
and bigger net income for farmers
A slight decline in the income
of business proprietors and partn
erships was noted from May to
June. But an increase in agricul
tural income exceeded the usual
seasonal upturn.
