State, City Elections
As Barometer for 81
BY the Associated Pres.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 3-The
new Democratic National Chair
man, Frank E. Mckinney, said
today results of Tuesdays State
and local elections will not be an
accurate barometer in forecasting
the outcome of 1852 national races.
The 47-year-old indianapolis
banker. named this week to head
the party'S campaign. came home
from Washington and declared:
''If Mr.. Truman decides to run
next year. we can win with him.
49,. IF some Democrats lose Tues
day. that won't be a good barom-
eter for 1882"
A few hours after he got home
he was at an Indianapolis Demo-
cratic rally urging reelection of
Democratic Mayor Philip L. Bayt,
and saying:
''Not One Finger of Scor4l."
There has not been one finger
Of scorn, nor of scandal, connected
with his administration"
Mr.. Mckinney later told news
men:
Local issues In Tuesdays may
oral races at Indianapolis. Boston.
Philadelphia. San Francisco and
other major cities make it "im-
possible" to use them in tracing
any trends pointing to the 1852
presidential contest.
He considers Indiana'S Demo-
cratic Gov. Henry F. Schricker an
excellent" possibility for either
United States Senator or vice
president. but doesn't know wheth-
er Gov. Schricker will seek or get
either nomination.
Loyalty First Question.
Loyalty will be his first ques-
ton in picking key assistants at
Democratic national headquarters,
where, he said. some people are
doing nothing and everybody is
going to have the roll up his
sleeves"
He has President Truman's pri-
vate telephone number at Key
West, Fla. but he doesn't plan toI
visit Mr.. Truman while the Presi-
dent is on vacation unless there
Is an emergency"
He will meet early Wednesday
in Chicago with Guy M. Gabriel
son, Republican national chair
man. to decide whether the 1882
national conventions in Chicago
will be held at the stadium or the
International amphitheater.

lean people are going into debt
at the fastest clip in their history
In 1945 our private debts to-
tailed 1896 for every man, woman
and child in the country. Today
the figure Is $733 per person.
Over the same period our cor
porati0nS increased their debts
by SO per cent.
This wholesale going into hook
has been largely responsible for
our present state Of high economic
activity, but opinion varies widely
as to whether the whole credit
jamboree has been sound.
In the first place. it must be
understood that this increase is
all in private debt. that Of individ-
uals and corporations. The debt
OF government-Federal, State
and local combined-is actually
about 10 per cent down.
Jump 81 Per Cent.
Private debts have increased
from $140 billion in 1945 to $244
billion today, a jump of Ct pei
cent.
This means that over this pc
riod we have been spending an
nually about $40 billion Tor 10
percent) more than we have been
earning and gone on the cuff
for the balance.
This even beats our record back
in the gay, giddy l920s. when we
thought we were establishing a
new level of prosperity" but dis
covered, instead, that we were
headed for a new level of bust.
Between 1924 and 1929, our
private debt increased by 81 per
cent--compared with the 81 per
cent increase between 1945 and
1850.
Between 1924 and 1929, we
never increased our private debt
in any one year by more than So

Published figures on the size
lof the target force, vary but II
is understood to be around 70
or 80 divisions, including West
German units.
Even with assistance from the
United States-both arms and
ldollars-the Western European
nations are finding it increas-
Iingly difficult to uphold their end
of this arrangement. to meet their
respective production schedules.
They are beset by imitation and
the threat of lower standards of
living which might let Commu-
'nism in by the back door. They are
troubled by political difficulties.
Might Seek 20 Divisions.
Gen. Eisenhower is understood
to feel that the numerous troubles
he has encountered in trying to
pull together his military force
since he went to Europe last win
ter have tended to enlarge them
selves. The failure to get an army
in being by this time strengthens
the voices of the critics who say it
can't be done at all, for example.
The lack Of confidence and the &C.
onomic disruptions are brakes on
production.
Hence the general has been re-
ported on high authority here as
FEELING that the best way out of
the troubles Is to form a real army,
however small. in the shortest pos
Islble time and then build up on
that toward the goal Of an ade-
quate defense force in mid-l954.
His reported view and similar
convictions held by some of Mr..
Truman's top advisers also con-
template that support of the in
ternational defense effort in the
United States would be greater
during the arguments of the
forthcoming election battles il
there was something concrete ac-
conplished n Europe.
! Some estimates are that Gen.
Eisenhower might be able to or
ganize a balanced and effective
force Of about 20 divisions by
next July and that this would
prove a reasonable counter against
Russia's divisions that are ac-
tually employed in Europe.
To do this Gen. Eisenhower
would have to get a substantial
increase in the quantity and speed
OF many types of weapons from
the United States. No other
country or group of countries
would make the program possible.
1t is understood that even
here weapons would have to come
from a Tightening up of produc-
ftion schedules and from impor-
tant shifts in the pattern of de-
liveries. Tanks, for example,
might be sent to the European
force which otherwise would 20

.AH Asks Wage Policy
Permitting Boosts for
Increased Production
By jones Y. Newton

American .Federatlon OF Labor
members of the Wage Stabiliza-
ton Board have proposed new
wage policy for the country under
which wage and salary increases
would be permitted for increased
production and efficiency.
The proposal will be discussed
this week by the full board made
up Of six representatives each OF
industry. the public and labor. Sc
far. the three CIO members have
not given their Endorsement to the
AFL's idea.
The plan was outlined in the
AFL publication. Labor's Monthly
Survey. which stated that by
cutting costs the proposal would
allow wage boosts without raising
prices.
Under the control policy now
in effect. wages are tied to the
cost Of living. The board viii
approve pay increases of 10 to Il
per cent which represents the
rise in living costs since the base
date Of January. 1850.
No specific figure was mentioned
by the, AFL for It's production
efficiency proposal. although an
increase Of five per cent has been
discussed informally. Added to
the permitted living cost raises.
that would bring approvable
amount Of future wage boosts up
to II per cent over January 1850
levels, if the plan is adopted by
the board.
by improving efficiency we do
not mean a pernicious 'speed-up'
with increased work loads, :"
Eabor's Monthly Survey stated.
That would impair, not increase,
real efficiency. Production is
steadily being improved by new
machinery. better methods and
processes.
Workers can contribute greatly
by giving their ideas and by find
ing short cuts and better ways to
do things. For workers alone have
the detailed know-how for their
jobs. In many cases, joint union
management cooperation COM
have made it possible for
workers production ideas and
suggestions to be quickly adopted
and put into practice, often saving
thousands Of dollars. Perhaps
such committees can help to i'm
plement the new wage policy when
1t is approved by WSB."
Rules Set for New Cases.
The wage board has approved
an annual increase of 4 cents an
hour for improved production
which is provided in General
Motors contract with the CIO
United Auto Workers. But no
general ruling has been made on
the subject.
In the case of GIN, company
officials have said they are get
ting increased and more efficient
production as result of the year.
ly productivity wage awards.
The new proposal originated
with Elmer E. Walker of the In
ternational Association of Ma
chinists and one of the three AFL
wage board members.
In an action yesterday the Wage
Board announced it will not ac-
cept labor disputes Voluntarily
submitted for binding decision un-
less the parties involved win give
a non-strike. no-lockout pledge.
The board said also 1t will not
take jurisdiction of a dispute vol
submitted for recommen-
dations unless it is satisfied that
the making of such recommended
tons will lead to a final settle
ment.

Leads to Good Leadership
By Kite Turmoil

Are you able and eager to be
good leader in school and club ac-
tivities? If you feel that top
leadership is not for your type. do
you know how to choose and fol-
low those who are qualified for
high positions?
Once you do practice the prin-
ciples for being good leader or
follower, it is easier to fit smooth
ly into your school and social life.
After graduation, you can follow
these leads to business and per-
sonal success.
Some helpful ideas on leader
ship have been pooled in teen eti-
quette forums by senior high
school boys and girls. AS out
standing leaders for variety OF
groups and activities, they spoke
for many students when they
agreed on the following principles:
AS an ideal leader, you try your
human best to:
Set a good example if you ex-
pect others to live up to high
standards.
Be firm but friendly. Remem-
ber that you can stay within your
principles, and encourage others
to help enforce the rules, without
losing the friendship of those who
do not agree with the rules. One
way to do this is to show that you
respect the sincere opinion Of
others.
In discussions, encourage a
lively, free response by asking
positive, not negative questions.
Make way for two-sided discus
sions. Pay attention to the mi
nority or the lone thinker, as we'll
as the majority. Try to give all
a chance to speak up. without
confusion. Show that you know
the Importance of looking at all
sides of any question.
In promoting plans and ideas,
do not put your own opinions
foremost. Keep the interest of
the entire student body or or
ganization in mind.
Be efficient enough to do the
outside jobs, well, without letting
this interfere with your school,
work or classroom attendance. Alb
sorbed as you might be in a par
ticular activity or group. do not
let this claim all your interest. If

You can glorify the "lowly"
tasks, too. Consider the true
success story of Katy. She was
selected as the outstanding mem
ber of her class in school spirit.
Her picture was published in the
school paper with this tribute:
1--WE chose Katy because we have
seen her work tirelessly and will
ingly on a job that is without
honor and without thanks, often.
We have seen her look for those
who should be reporting to her.
We have seen her clean up after
those who had to rush off. And
never is there word of complaint
Or reprimand from her. She is
our most loyal student and worker
for most school and social events.
Her volunteer job is to count out
dishes and put them away!"

self-important to continue to be
worthy leader"
Most of these principles apply
to good following, too, and that is
important. Every one can't be
chairman. The club which is top
heavy with too many executives
and too few workers is as off bal
ance as the one who refuses to CO.
operate with a leader because he
or she lost out in an election.
You do not have to be acclaimed
as a "big wheel" to spin into
worthwhile activity in whatever
tasks are assigned to you. You
can win honors in volunteer work,
too. by selling the most benefit
tickets or by thinking up the best
ideas for group projects. You do
not have to compete for top posts
to find self-satisfaction in doing
we'll in any undertaking.
Evening star., 1951-01-07

you are too busy, being leader,
to find time for friends and fam
lily; if you are too tired to be
cheerful and pleasing, you may be
straining to do too much and
should pass on some of that re-
sponsibility.
Be big minded enough to take
and give constructive criticism
without being too personal or
self-conscious.
Give strong guidance, as need
ed, but be big" enough to follow,
too. Learn when to be quiet and
how to listen.
Summing it up, these popular,
prominent students agree that
you should:
"Take your position seriously.
Live up to the trust. But do not
boast about high post. Do not
become too conceited or bossy or
