It's Not All Gravy
(Cincinnati Enquirer

(Clnclnnatl EnqulTer)
 It is no secret that businesses have had a very bad press" as the result of large corporate earnings in 1947 The feeling has existed in some quarters that some of these companies might well have shaved their profits by cutting the prices of their products But there another side to the pie ture The major share of these profits have not gone into the pockets of shareholders but rather into bling up reserves against a darker day and in improving plant and equipment against times when industry will need the finest and most modern facilities to keep abreast of competition At least, the smart businesses have done this, and the procedure pro- vdes a guarantee of job security for the future.
 In a recent issue of the American Rolling Mill Co.'S publication under the heading What Happened to the Money Armco Made Last Year?' Charles R. Hook the Arinco President, said
 We spent millions to assure the future of our iobs As the profits came in from the products we sold we did not pile it up in banks; nor did we pay if all out to it's owners the stockholders We actually spent more than we earned in l947 for newer and better machines to prevent products-and our jobs from becoming old fashioned. We spent our profits on new furnaces new coke ovens, new equipment of all kinds to keep our products-and our jobs-up to date.
 What happened to the money Armco made last year? It is all around us We can see 1t! We can touch it! New buildings, new equipment, new tooisl The profit has back to strengthen our company and our jobs Armco men and their families can face the future with greater confidence. Yeu and can be truly thankful that 1947 good year It made .our future brighter any more secure.
 When an individuals income is at high level (and if corporation profits reached new high last year so did workers wages) that individual will be smart if he puts part of that income into savings TOT rainy days to come and he part of it for pera- nent improvements to his way of life that will enable him to enjoy good things in bad times. That's what smart individuals ought to do and that's what smart corporations are doing.

DID IKE SAY aNo"?

Politicians thought they had a negative answer to the $64 ques- tion, Will Eisenhower run as a Democrat?" when Maj. Gen. Floyd Parks. Army chief public-relations officer, said that Eisenhower's mo to the Republicans applied equal ly to the Democrats.
 However, New Hampshire pub fisher Leonard V. Finder, to whom Eisenhower wrote his famous let ter declining a Republican draft, hit the ceiling when he reed Park $ statement. Convinced it hadn't come from Eisenhower, he phoned Parks, asked him point blank Il he had talked with Ike before stating that Eisenhower would not accept a Democratic party draft.
 Parks readily admitted that he had not talked to Ike before mak- ing his latest statement, said this was basically his own view. He was sorry, he told Finder, the papers had given his mo draft statement such big play.

rates But some signs point otherwise. Both mar riages and births showed tendency to decline toward the end of last year And statisticans remind us that it isn't that families having many children as that the and postwar marriage boom produced more families. The Nation has fewer spnsters and bachelors proportonately than it has had for many year.
 Whether the baby boom continues will depend partly on economic conditions and on housing More directly will depend whether the marriage fervor continues. This likewise is influenced by material factors but also according to students of cycles oper ates on an l8-year rhythm They say we have passed the peak and are the downturn of such marriage curve Whether not we accept the cycle theory it evident that the degree of zeal to- ward marriage and parenthood is not altogether regu lated by war and economics-as the downturn Tn mar rage and births during the prosperous 92os demon- strated

I've been sounding out many Negroes on the Universal Military Training program and they don't like the way it's being handled. Out of all the youths trained at the Army's experimental UNIT school at Fort Knox, there wasn't single Negro.
 unless Congress outlaws this type of segregation, Negroes will continue to believe that the Gov ernment is sponsoring Jim Crow. ,"
 The President said he realized there is still some discrimination against Negroes.
 But" he added, i've can't elin- jEate it overnight. It takes time. We are doing our best. Certainly, everybody should know by this time how I stand on the issue"
 Randolph assured the President that he considered his civil-rights message a courageous and demo- cratic" document that had given much hope to American Negroes.

When Pullman porter president A. Phillip Randolph told the Sem ate Armed Services Committee that Negroes would risk treason rather than serve in segregated army and navy, it wasn't news to Presi- dent Truman.
 The President had had a stormy private session with the head of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters a short time before Call ing to ask that an anti-segrega- tion clause be inserted in any selec- tive service or military training bill, Randolph described Negro bitterness over segregation in the late war, and added:
