SECRETARY FLAYS
FEDERAL SPENDING

J. Paul Leonard, Secretary OF
the State Fair. Tax Assn, OF
Statesville who is spending q lew
days in this vicinity credited the
cause for a recent upsurge OF IN
terest in public spending shown BY
business men, to proposed legisla.
ton which would add billions OF
dollars to the regular budget OF
the Federal government.
Asked about legislation which he
thinks deserves the special atten-
ton Of economy advocates right
now, Leonard said the bill OF
Senator Downey. Of California pro-
viding for increases in the base
pay of all federal employees is
by no means getting the public
attention it demands not only be-
cause Of the fact that its passage
would add a billion dollars year
to the tax load Of our people, but
also because or its inflationary
nature" Leonard says that not
withstanding the fact that civil
service employees have recently
been granted a substantial pay
boost, Senator Downey and his
colleagues, with White House
blessings, proposes to give these
and other government employees
another 20 per cent increase: and
would also increase the salaries
Of heads Of bureas and agencies
from $4,000 to $4,000: the heads
Of departments from $4,000 to
So, 1000, and the salaries Of Con.
gresham and Senators from $15..
900 plus $500 additional tor ex-
penses."
In connection with recent adj
dresses before civic organizations
Leonard has been displaying a
large chart prepared by the Joint
committee on Reduction Of Fede'
raj Expenditures, OF which Senator
Byrd is chairman and Congress.
man r. L. Doughton Of this state
| is vice-chairman. This chart shows
the multiplicity Of agencies and
departments of the executive
branch of the national government,
requiring billions of dollars to
maintain, and millions Of employees
to man. OF these agencies, % list
ed as Emergency war agencies
have a total of 1854 subdivisions.
Referring to recent statements
of economists to the effect that
Americans are so concerned over
domestic problems that they are
failing to give proper consideration
to more important international
problems, Leonard argues that
until we Americans demonstrate
our willingness and ability to set
our own house in. order we cannot
hope to influence the peoples OF
other nations to adopt our form Of
government and enter into agree
ments for world peace" He charg-
ed that ''too much of the industrial
strife with which the nation Is now
sorely plagued is traceable to poll
cies and practices Of our govern
ment". Leonard said that 'the
sooner we Americans realize that
all public spending il taxation
either present or deferred - the
sooner we will rise up in right
eous indignation and assert our
selves as taxpayers.

Stock Market Uneven
After Retreat, but
Rails Stage Rally
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.G-Rails ral-
lied and assorted specialties did
well in today's stock market after a
morning sell-off had cut down
steels, motors and many other lead
ing industrials.
Prices dipped as much as a point
or more in the wake of a fairly
active and steady opening. Low
quoted issues accounted for much
of the volume Dealings then ia
pered and there was little if any
speed-up when the carriers stiffened.
Extreme losses were reduced in the
majority of cases, and trends near
the close were only moderately ir-
regular. Transfers ran to around
l 100000 shares.
Early trimming of accounts was
attributed to the urge to collect
profits on the lengthy ride to eight
year peaks and the belief a sizabl6
technical correction was a likeli-
hood. Pressure of idle funds to
hedge against imitation served as a
further bolstering factor. Worries
over labor disputes persisted to a
certain extent, although the outlook
for peace in some Industries re-
stricted liquidation.
