Heurtening but 'Iffy'

The General Electric Company has
begun the new year by setting a good
example for the country at large. In
cutting prices on a wide variety of its
electrical products-about 40 per cent OF
It's total output has done its encourag-
ing bit to check and reverse imitation. AS
President Truman has said in commencing
the action, our national economy certainly
would be bulwarked If industry as whole
could see It's way clear to do the same
thing
Ranging from to 10 per cent for an
overall average of little more than
per cent, the GE reductions cover not
merely household equipment like refriger-
ators, stoves and dishwashers, but also
component parts-such as fractional
horsepower motors-which the company
sells to other appliance manufacturers. In
terms of savings to the buying public,
the cuts amount to about $50,000,000 on
an annual retail business of almost
$1,000, 100000, and they are particularly
praiseworthy because they apply to items
in heavy demand and relatively short
supply.
As explained by Charles E. Wilson, GE's
president the move will cut the company's
profit margin unless and until lower pro-
duction costs can be achieved and other
manufacturers supplying General Electric
effect reductions as we'll. He is convinced
that this is essential and can be done. In
his words, voluntary action and self
restraint by individual citizens and COM
panies can do most to reverse the tide of
imitation. It needs to be reversed, not just
stopped, and we hope and expect that
others will join us in this movement to
lower prices"
Mr.. Wilson, however, is not naively
optimistic He realizes that some very big
"ifs" are involved. GE, he says, will be
able to keep the reductions in effect only
If two conditions are met: "a If there is
no additional increase in labor costs or in
the prices of things the company must buy
from others, and CD II there is no
further distortion In the material situation
through rationing or new allocations." In
this connection it is worth remembering
that early last year the automotive
"big three"-Ford, General Motors and
Chrysler-announced price cuts, but wage

In the Mutter of Buck Posing

II there Is any disposition 10 regard
Budget Officer Fowlers report to the Com
missioners as "buck passing" in connection
with Gallinger's psychopathic division, 1t
would be well to reserve Judgment until
the facts are developed.
Mr. Fowler, who is largely responsible
for what gets into the Districts annual
budget and what is left out, CONTENDS tnat
much of what is wrong at Gallinger is due
to faulty administration. He is not crit
ical of the report by Dr. Samuel B. Wortis
except for those portions Of it which at
tribute some of the deficiencies to lack
of appropriations AS budget oftlcer ne
knows what appropriations have been
made and what they were expected to ac-
complish.
II Mr.. Fowler is passing the buck, 1t
will become evident when the hospital
administration gets going on some OF the
things that must be done now. II money
to do these things in the past was un-
available for expenditure in the psyche
pathic division, that can be demonstrated.
If there was not enough left over for the
psychopathic division after other expendi-
lures had been made, that can easily De
shown. If the hospital management or
the Health Department was denied funds
for doing what ought to have been done
long ago with existing facilities, that can
be shown by the records.
At the bottom of this mess there seems
to have been an alarming apathy, an attl-
tude of Illustration which. continued to
accept things as they are; painful lack
of the show of righteous indignation that
would set something in motion. How can
public officials sit by, year after year,
without shouting to the high heavens over
such rotten neglect as that which Is 1nd1-
Gated by elevators that will not run, roofs
that leak, walls that remain unpainted,
unused hydrotherapy equipment, unre-
paired stretches of roadway that in time
OF rain cause flooded hospital rooms?
The District has lot Of painters. car
penters, mechanics on the payroll. It has
great stores of maintenance equipment.
Why under the sun are they not used to-
renovate a place like the psychopathic di-
vision from roof to basement, even If some
of the help and some OF the equipment
must be borrowed from other divisions
and departments of the municipal gov
ernment? Why is there no leadership that
gets such things done in spite OF book
keepers, budgets, red tape and other
bureaucratic paraphernalia?
Such questions are perhaps answered In
part by Mr.. Fowler's references to certain
lack of aggressiveness at Gallinger. The
public is going to be interested in finding
out how far up that lack OF aggressiveness
extends and whether it is confined only to
Gallinger. When the budget officer says
that money is available to do many things
that have not been done, it will not be long
before he is proved to be right or wrong,
and whether he is passing the buck or
merely stating facts.

hikes, the rising costs Of sheet steel, etc,
forced them to backtrack, and the same
thing can happen in the case Of General
Electric.
It is impossible, in other words, for any
one company or group, acting by itself, to
slay the dragon of imitation. The example
set by General Electric is wholesome and
heartening, but it can accomplish little
unless it sets of chain reaction Of
similar price cuts-an "iffy" prospect that
can hardly materialize without the full
cooperation of all the key elements Of
our Government, agriculture,
organized labor, the consuming public and
industry as a whole
