In the fast-moving stream of events since the
25th of June, last months statistics" have lost
much of their significance While later data
fragmentary, more emphasis than usual should be
placed on them. The economic situation is fluid and
like stale cOmmuniques from the battle front, old
reports of business activity likely to refer to
dons which no longer exist. Such statistics
available for recent weeks already show an un-
mistakable pattern: consumer buying has been tre-
mendOusly stimulated; industrial output is expand
ing; credit is increasing; and prices rising
The reaction of consumers to the prospect of in
creased military production has been sharp and in
many ways dscOuTagng. Obviously, we have among
us some who have made frantic efforts to secure
commodities which they think will become scarce,
thus engendering scare buying on the part of many
otherwise sensible people In the week ended July
29 the sales of central Philadelphia department stores
scared 46 per cent above those of the corresponding
week last year Before the Korean crisis, sales had
been about even with1949 tOtals The departmental

of Overfatgue Many overwOrked people can't seem
to slow down. Instead they immerse themselves in
more work or seek escape through Overstimulating
commercial amusements, liquor No matter what
a mans goal may be-mOney, professional advance

take time out periodically to restore body tonus.
Too many American businessmen are tense head
achy and hurried, believing that if they are to attain
their goals, they cannot take time out for quiet

What most of these Overworked people don't realize
is that they could easily accomplish 500 better
results if they would learn how to relax through
regular periods of constructive bOdy-mindsoul re-
freshment.
MAINTAINING MAXIMUM OUTPUT
Too few business leaders have concerned them
selves with their own problems of prevention of
ho-physcal breakdown and increasing their own
physical stamina, particularly those over forty. 1t
is not my purpose to prescribe course Of action for
such individuals. l shall be satisfied if J. have made
them aware of their own needs. They owe 1t to the
concern for which they work
Experience has taught me that in order to main
tain maximum output, the average man must hnd a
job he enjoys doing, maintain good health learn
how to play achieve satisfaction in love and keep
spiritually refreshed. To live useful, wel-balanceo
life today requires vgOT. Vigor comes primarily
from physical, mental and spiritual energy. Such
energy can be built up only by alternating periods
of powerful output with proper periods OF relaxa-
ton and medtaton-pr for ever greater
achievement.
TAKE QUIET VACATIONS
This is vacation time Take a vacation by al
means Take with you a book or two on relaxation

to set up a conservation program for your own re
sources! Don't dash around in an automobile. VI

the government is far weaker than any

THOSE NEW WEAPONS

In the light of current events, it is inter-
esting to look back about year, to the time
when the headlines were largely occupied
with the debate over what kind of weapons
we needed, and how the next war would
have to be fought. The star of the Air Force
was then in its ascendancy, and its more
extreme partisans were arguing paSSiOnately
that the airplane-and most especially Jet
fighters and the huge intercOntinental bomb
ers-cOuld do practically all of the job. The
NAVY, the argument ran, would in the future
be only minor, auxiliary service, and should
be deprived of most, possibly all, OF It's own
planes and carriers. The tank was obsolete,
or nearly so, because new weapons had made
it practically as vulnerable to fire as Jeep
And the role of the foot soldier, always para
mount in past wars, would be relatively
minor one next time.
This is what prompted U. S. News and
World Report, in an article on military plan
ming and strategy, to say: "War TN KOrea)
is nutting u. S. military ideas, new weapons,
and strategy plans to the test of experience.
On the basis of the record to date the report
card on first performance can be marked =:
.'Flunked'." For our experience In Korea
has certainly proven that, in this particular
kind of "small'' war at least, the new Weap-
Ons and new ideas have not worked the eX-
pected wonders.
In this war, the biggest bOmbers have not
been used, nor are they likely to be used to
any extent They are adapted to glObal all
out war; in which they would carry A-bombs
to vital enemy targets thousands OF miles
away from their bases.
The Air Force has performed splendldly
in Korea, and has inflicted heavy damage or
Red forces. But reports from the front
have said time and again that the jet planes
in this type of campaign, have been dis
aDpOintment. Valuable as they are IN all
combat, they are too fast, and too limited II
the time they can stay alOft, to operate al
well in close support of troops as plstOn-en
gined planes. Is. =. -. - 4a
Nayv air, once written off as an ObSOlet
weapon, has proven enormously vital. IN
carrier planes operate in support OF tn
ground troops, and are a major detens
against amphibiOus landings. A tradltlOna

The most dramatic example of the wort

was the greatest single factor in making posS
ible the North Korean drive. The Russia
tanks which the Red troops used apparent
were superior to ours in fire power an
armor. Finally the role of the foot s0Idle 1I
has AGAIN been all-impOrtant. Despite all tn
now and revolutionary concepts yet uttere'
the "poor, bloody infantry" has been II
queen of battle in Korea.
II NAV be that in the future, and IN al
other kind of war if it comes, those ne
cOncepts may find some justification. Tht

PROPAGANDA MAY HELP


Should the United States go in for an
aggressive "Marshall plan of ideas" to i'm
plement its material assistance to the Wes-
tern world? Senator Benton OF COnnectl-
cut. who has been urging this move in Con-
0ress. thinks so and his belief is shared by
q great many people who are gravely dis
turbed by the success of Russia's hlgh-pOW-
cred propaganda.
The masters of the Kremlin are thor
Ough. They have pressed ahead IN the coid
war with weapons, with what amounts TO
bIacknaail on a high international level, and
they have been clever and efficient In using
their satellites as instruments OF conquest.
They have developed Well-trained under
grounds everywhere, including the United
States, whose duty is to advance the cause
of communism by every conceivable means
Including, in the event OF all-out war
sabotage and destruction on far broader
scale than most Americans seem 10 De aDle
to contemplate. The evidence in this regard
which the FBI has painstakingly gathered
over the years, some of which was recently
made public, shows that the POlitburo leaves
no stone unturned. And, in addition, the Rus
slams regard propaganda as one OF the most
Important of all weapons, and are acting
accordingly.
In one of his late columns, Marquis Childs
described the pattern of Soviet propaganda
this pattern are the petitions for peace and
against the atomic bomb being circulated
BY the millions in both zones of Germany,
These same petitions were signed by several
million North Koreans beginning in 1947
when they were first introduced on orders
of Moscow.
"The objective is clear. It is to identify
communism with peace and to put the Uni
ted States in the role of aggressOr, holding
the terror weapon of the atomic bomb over
the heads Of peace-lying peples everywhere
If and when the United States should resort
to the atomic weapon !. then the base wOulC
be prepared to foment a worldwide hatred
of America and Americans"
It may seem absurd to Americans tha
the Russians can succeed with this prOpa
ganda line. But according to men who ar,
in the best position to know they are sue
ceeding. The Western nations, it is true

WALNUT sTREET IMPROvEMENTs

Letters have been sent by City Council
to all property owners in the Walnut Street
business section asking for their permission
to take off a limited pavement space in front
of their properties in order that the roadway
may be Strengthened and widened. The re-
quest by Council is reasonable, and in view
of the new paving program now in progress
on the street it would seem the logical time
to complete the project. Certainly the mer-
chants and property owners will be the
benefactors from such project. Unless
something is done, the business will be taken
off Walnut Street to other more accessible
sections of the town. Already North East
Front Street is assuming the proportions of
a major business section. If the property
owners on Walnut Street desire to retain
property values, and hold profitable tenants
they will be taking a step in the right dlrec-
tion by giving the needed pavement space
to the City at this time. They have every
thing to gain by such move, and nothing
to lose.
