Boom Is Still On,
Keyserling Tells
Democratic Club
By Jeanne Rogers

The United States still is in a
boom, Leon Keyserling emphasized
yesterday, even though some of
the former extravaganzas are not
so evident. The vice chairman of
the Council of Economic Advisers
to the President spoke before
members of the Woman's National
Democratic Club.
cat present-whether it is
called imitation, disinflation or
what have you-this country is at
very high levels of postwar pros
perity," Mr.. Keyserling asserted.
The speaker called attention to
the falsity of a common impress
sion that price increases are over.
I'm some sectors of our economy
prices are not falling" he said
Both prices and profits are still
rising there" He pointed out
however, that the cost of living
has dropped 21a per cent since its
peak.
1.-THE present administration is
trying to do something harder
than has been attempted before. u
Mr.. Keyserling said. Since this
country has reached high degree
of production perfection, he
added, it must now turn these
resources where they meet the real
needs of persons throughout its
boundaries.
"Citizens must be awakened tc
a task, job, a responsibility" he
said. They must rally to a sense
of preserving peace before there is
a war. This is a hard job on the
domestic front with irritations
and distractions such as the high
cost of living. To rally a great Ma
tons interest in economic pros
perity and growth when things
are prosperous is hard task. This
country has had no trouble ir
muddling through in time o1
crises"
Mr.. Keyserling stressed thai
America cannot afford another
depression any more than it car
afford another war. He termed
the situation as mot now com
plex," and continued that it ap.
peared complex because of "con.
dicting reports" These reports ART
from two sources, he said, nam
ing persons who don't want &C.
ton taken for reasons suflcien
unto themselves and "those Wht
are bewildered by seeming con-
f1icts."
Using imitation as an example
Mr.. Keyserling said the antipro'
gram still being urged by the Gov.
ernment is not inconsistent with
the current problem of def1ation.
The inconsistency is not real,
he said. The Government was
interested in combating imitation
year ago not simply because o1
persons pinched by a high cost
of living. 1t was afraid that in
fation would lead to def1ation. II
didn't fear the boom itself but
that it would end in bust"
Mr.. Keyserling stated that in.
fationary forces are beginning tt
do just that" in some spots ir
the economy. Neglect of such
lnfationary dangers would cause
some sort of general collapse, he
said, and then it would be too late
to do anything about imitation.
The rate of employment still
is high" the speaker said. THE
rate Of unemployment still is very
low. The rate of production Il
'hovering near an all-time peak.

That the rehabilitation of Ger
many in 1850 might mean Ger
many's domination of Western
Europe by 1853 was described yes
terday by Representative Helen
Gahagan Douglas as a possible
danger in the Marshall Plan.
The speaker, who addressed a
luncheon meeting of the Wash
ington Region of Women's Amer
lean ORT, emphasized that she
was much impressed with the Eu-
ropean recovery program as a
whole.
She recalled, however, that the
Germans had carried out a sys-
tematic program of undermining
the economic and cultural stand
ards in the countries they rolled
over during the war. The result
has been an imbalance between
the industrial production of Ger
many and the rest of Europe, she
said.
Mrs. Douglas, a member of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee
pointed to testimony showing that
the recovery program in Europe
calls not only for getting machin-
cry to Europe but in getting people
to work the machines.
In this connection, she hailed
the work of ORT. which is the
Organization for Rehabilitation
through Training. ORT schools
maintained on worldwide basis
provide vocational training in
farming, mechanics, carpentry
tailoring and many other trades
"ORT is the single organization
in Europe today which has a train
ing program already set up that
will man the machines sent over
for rehabilitation" Mrs. Douglas
declared.
The speaker, who chose as hel
topic THE World AS + See Il
Today" said that "the budget fol

By Mary Lou Werner

BY learning to tell OIL" his In
laws, an Alexandria war veteran
has overcome the strange fear Of
riding on streetcars.
This is one of the unusual
stories unfolded by the modern
Alexandria Mental Hygiene Clinic,
which has been busy almost two
years helping people In all age
brackets.
The veteran with no desire for
streetcars lost his appetite. could
not sleep and became too nervous
to go to his work. A doctor ad-
vised psychiatric examination and
he went to the mental hygiene
clinic.
There, a psychiatrist and the
psychiatric assistant discovered
the young man lived with his in
laws and that, subconsciously, he
had come to resent them. Further
more, he was suppressing resent
ment of his boss, who had tyran-
nical inclinations.
Healthier and Happier
The psychiatrist found his pa
tient was afraid to ride the trolley
lest he suddenly hit some unsus-
pecting passenger who chanced to
sit beside him.
- On advice of the clinicians. he
now expresses uncomplimentary
feelings to the in-laws and, as a
result. is healthier, happier and
calm.
This is but one of many difficult
cases the mental clinic has
handled since its opening, Decem-
Der Is. 1877, in a small Fairfax
County house. It was established
with money provided by the AL
exandria City Council, the Com
munity Chest, State and Federal
agencies.
The clinic, now located in the
basement of the Alexandria
Health Department, is open from
S:45 am. to Sis pm. each week
day. 1t has the full-time services
of a psychiatrist, DR.. Vance T.
Alexander, who is the executive
director. DR.. Alexander formerly
served only two days a week, but
has been fuu-time director since
July /.
The Alexandria clinic is the
first in Virginia to be assigned
under a State psychiatric social
worker program. The trainee has
q masters degree in psychiatric
social work, and works at the AL
exandria clinic for practical ex-
perience.
Some patients 60 to the clinic
of their own accord but most are
referred there by the Health De-
partment, physicians, courts, wei
fare authorities, school officials
and other social and welfare
agencies.
The clinic once found that
child who could not speak was
deaf and needed medical treat
ment.
No Set Treatment Time.
There is no set time for treating
patients. The clinic staff agrees
that a patient must want to be
cured in order to be helped.
