StO5,O00 Erosion Project
Al Colonial Beach Urqed

A sos 900 project for preservation
of the shoreline at Colonial Beach,
Va, has been recommended by
United States Army engineers after
completion of an erosion survey.
The survey was authorized by the
Federal Government and the Com
monwealth of Virginia. The engi-
neers have recommended plan OF
beach protection which calls for
initial construction of stone revet-
ment along the eroding section Of
the shore south of the foot OF
Boundary street. This revetment
would be $500 feet long.
The engineers plan calls for con-
struction 10 years later Of $3.50 addi-
tional feet of revetment.
It Is estimated the initial project
would cost $4,000 and the deferred
construction would cost $35, 900. The
engineers have recommended the
Federal Government bear a third
Of the cost.
Persons interested In the reconf-
mended project can present their
views on the subject by mail to the
Beach Erosion Board, 5201 Little

Leaders
Contend Earnings
Not Out Of Line
By J. B. WoIIoch
North American Newspaper Alliance


NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-Industral
leaders are striving to convince the
congressional subcommittee current
ly probing into profits that net
+ totals may be misleading unless
properly related to sales volume.
Congressional inquiries also are
being referred to the tremendous
capital investments that have IA
cilitated the expansion of sales
volume, and are being asked to con-
slider whether such investments will
continue if capital is denied any
hope of a return commensurate with
its risk.
General Electric's president,
Charles E. Wilson, testifying this
week at the Flanders Committee
hearing, warned that labor's de-
mands may eliminate the incen-
tive for future risk taking on the
part of the public" G. Es capital
investment for the past 10 years
totals more than $80O,0OO,000 or
about $1,000 for every one OF the
100 900 persons added to its payrolls
Profit Ratio Lowered.
Despite the fact that this huge
capital outlay has enabled G. E. to
develop a business in 1948 that will
approximate $1,000, 100000, its profits
after taxes are running at IA per
cent of sales as compared with 12.4
per cent in 1910. Profits paid out
as dividends have risen only 8 per
cent since 1910, while the earnings
of hourly rated employees have in
creased 80 per cent. Between taxes
and wages, manufacturing profits
are being squeezed without letup.
In the third quarter of the cur
rent year, according to the Depart
ment of Commences Office of bust
ness economics, corporate profits be-
fore taxes rose $4,000 600 900, against
a rise in compensation of employees
of almost $6.500,00000 The cur
rent rate Of profits, the same source
has reported, is lower than it was
from 1941 to 1914. In the first three
quarters of 1948 employe compensa-
ton accounted for about three
fourths Of total corporate income.
Notice has been taken of the in
creasing tendency on the part of
manufacturing and distributing
firms to seek mergers or purchasers.
Prohibitive risks and inadequate re-
turns are not only deterring the
launching of new enterprises but
causing established companies to
look for high ground before the
deluge Of q bust. Senator Flanders
committee might prof1tably look into
the causes of this disquieting move
ment
Fair Play Declared Vital.
Fair play for risk capital is just
as essential to sound and prosper
GUS economy as fair wages for labor.
Unfortunately capital isn't as nu-
merous or as vociferous as labor. 1t
controls fewer votes, and it is there
fore persona non grata at the White
House. 1t may be valid bureau
cratic practice to measure corporate
profits in terms of 1889 dollars
while calculating 1948 wages in
terms of current buying power, but
none is deceived so much as the
bureaucrat.
If Congress ignores Mr. Wilson'S
warning and permits higher labor
and material costs to force prices to
a point where consumer resistance
cutbacks and unemployment will
divert it painfully from the subject
Of corporate profits.
