BABSON Getting Optimistic

NEW YORK CITY, October 17-AcCOrdng to the
Cycle Theory business depression may be due dur
ing the next year two When at Wellesley, study
ing charts and statistics, I am inclined to agree
with this school of thought. After, however, visit
to New York and seeing what the sales organizations
are doing today. compared with twenty years ago,
believe that-barring World War UI-there will
be no return of conditions such as existed in 1892
PROTECTION FOR ALL WORTHY CASES
There are several reasons for my mid optimism:
O) Real estate mortgages will De projected by the
Federal Housing Agencies ~ Stock prices will be
bOstered by 5O% margins. CD Big business failures
will be prevented by the RFC. (4) The banks are
in a very strong position, and most of the large
corporations have loans Outstandings but rather
big surpluses. 60 Farmers are insured by price
supports and climate controls. The most damage
will come from selfish labor leaders, heavy imports
and reckless price cutting.
The brightest factor which I have in mind never
existed twenty years ago / refer to the billions now
being spent on wise advertising, statesmen training.
and especially on conventions. During my visit here
in New York City, l have seen some of the brains
the planning and the energy which are being spent
on copy, color, space, type, and even models! When
you read national advertisements in a great weekly
or in your local newspaper, you have idea of
the work spent in preparing those advertisements
MARKETS NOW ARE ANALYZED
Even before writing these advertisements both
the product and the appeal have been tried out on
thousands of housewives Perhaps five different ad-
versements would be selected out of forty copies
submitted; then each of these five would be tried
out five thousand families The reaction of these
housewives determines who are the best artists,
photographers, copy writer's and psychologists In
ease of depression, this advertising will be even
increased as factor in giving consumers confidence

Dear Friends:
Have you ever had to take your
child to kindergarten at 8:15, pick
her up at noon, and go to an Army
/ doctor in between 2e.It's almost inn
possible but we attempted it this
week. Dawn's cold persists and

we go to the base it's either to pick
up Daddy or see the doctor. She
looked at me so pleadingly and said,

We arrived at the Out Patient

so naturally they are needed, too.
This time the diagnosis wasn't cold
IN the ears, nor sore throat, but
little Dawn had sinusitis. The next
thing was to go to the pharmacy
for drops and pills. Those pharma-
cists deserve much credit. They
seemed rushed to me, filling per-
scriptions, as well as filling their
shelves with new supplies, mixing
some ahead and trying not to make
the WAFs. Airmen, Officers and the
dependents wait too long. Still they
are courteous, pleasant to the sick
and yet accurate in their work and
they receive no sign Of apprecia-

THE BEST POLL

The new head of the Office of Price Sta
blhzatiOn is attempting to find out what the
public in general thinks about price control
with special attention to the views of the
housewife. This effort is in the nature of
a poll
When Congress extended the price con-
troll law early this summer it cut down the
powers Of the price controllers in spite of
frequent and urgent requests from the Pres
ident for the opposite action. In an election
year, Congressman, especially the ones in the
House, all Of whom go before the voters, are
hardly likely to take action which they don't
think their constituents will like. In fact,
the actions they take are the best sort of
clue to what their constituents want.
What they did about the price control
law IS thus the best poll we've got on what
the people think about it.
Everybody wants lower priceS-juSt as
everybody wants higher incomes. But there
IS plenty Of evidence that the public is at
last learning that political controls over the
economy can't produce much except con-
fusion and dlslocatiOns and, long enough con-
Cnued, scarcltles and poorer goods. You can
tell man that the product his factory turns
out must be sold for so much and no more
but you can't force him to continue to pro-
duce it if the price is too low to paw the bills
and return a little profit. You can tell a
stOrekeeper that this item and that must be
sold to the consumer for so much and no
mOre-but you can't make him stock it if
the selling price isn't sufficient to make both
ends meet.
1t is perfectly clear that most Congress-
men want fewer controls, not more. And
Congress is the best barometer of grass
arQQtss sentiment we have

ranted, the Columbia Heights

costs.

price of natural gas since 1851

This move was taken in op-
position to the proposal by In

stores and taverns be permitted
to stay open all night to make

Assai|ant Of Boy, "a,
Gets 1O-Year Term
In Maryland Jail

An ex-convict yesterday was
sentenced to serve two concurrent
10-year terms in the Maryland
Penitentiary for sodomy and as
kault and battery on a 14-year-old
boy.
The defendant was Zachariah T.
Musgrove, 80. of the 900 block of
Kennedy street NV. Musgrove
waived jury trial.
In sentencing Musgrove, Chief
Judge Charles w. Woodward in
Rockville Circuit Court called the
defendant lone of the most dam
eerous sadistic criminals ever tried
in this court" He added Mus
grove should never be free again
until he had been cured by treat
mentS.
Sticker Gains Arrest.
A piece of a District auto in
spection sticker. which Musgrove's
youthful victim tore from his
windshield. led to the mans arrest
and conviction. Judge Woodward
praised the youth for his foresight
in tearing the sticker from the car
on the night of the assault last
October 13.
Musgrove was arrested about
eight hours after the assault. when
Montgomery County and District
detectives traced the sticker to
truck owned by an exterminat-
ing company for which Musgrove
worked.
The youth yesterday testified
that Musgrove picked him up at
Four Corners. Instead of taking
him home, the youth said, the
man took him to an abandoned
gravel pit near Fairland, Md.
Denies Charges.
After forcing the youth into
unnatural sex acts. Musgrove then
peat MN severely With a leather
belt. Musgrove denied being in
the area and was unable to ex-
plain how the boy got the auto
sticker.
Musgroye had served five years
of a 20-year sentence as the re-
suit of a court-martial in 1945
for assault with intent to rape
The sentence later was reviewed
and cut to 612 years.
Judge Woodward also sentenced
Cornelius E. Wilson, 25, colored,
of Rockville to 4 years in the
penitentiary. after a jury found
him guilty of sodomy involving a
13-year-old colored boy. Wilson
still faces trial in January on
charges of assault with intent to
rape a 5-year-old colored girl.

Viet-Minh Regiments
Being Cut TO Pieces
BY Pursuing French

Gen. Raoul Salan said today
two Viet-Minh regiments are be-
ing decimated by his French Un-
ion forces in a battle centered
18 miles northeast of this pro-
vincial capital.
The Communicated rebels HAY
total from 1000 to 5000 men. in
stead of the 1000 originally esti-
mated when the French launched
yesterday another of their drives
to clear inflltrators from the
Red River delta.
Gen. Salan, the French COM
mander in chief, said the rebels
were leaving a smoldering trail
of burned thatch villages in re-
treat. French forces hammered
them with artillery and aerial
bombs.
Rebels Battling Fiercely.
A French spokesman said a
preliminary check showed 147
Viet-Minh killed. He added the
rebels were putting up fierce
battle.
The French fought to encircle
them between the Canal des
Rapides and Ban Mini, the last
big city the French hold on Co.

ionial Route No. l, a highway
leading to Red China.
Gen. Salan said the bulk OF
the enemy is centered around the
village of Phu Lu, Is miles north
east of Hanoi.
The French have been striving
for weeks to clean rebel nests
out of the delta, which they in
Isist must be held to save the
rest of Indo-China.

The new drive is being di-
Irected by Brig. Gen. Rene Cogny

dent that wen the tin price nego-
tiations are renewed after United
States recognition of his regime
they would succeed. He said the
slight increase in price offered by
the United States ($1.21 l2) would
be acceptable and the extra money
would be used to improve mine
working conditions.
Mr.. Estenssoro declared there
was no immediate cause for the
revolt, "the reason is that the
people of Bolivia have been ex-
plotted for years and years by
successive governments which only
represented a small group of min
ing interests"
He brushed off charges that the
MNR had foreign help.
THE fact is we did not possess
a hundred pistols" he said.
Foreign Minister Walter Cue
vara, who sat in on the confer
Ience, added: 1--WE had IL rifles
at the start of the revolt"
Mr.. EStenssoro said the feeling
Iof the people against the military
junta was such that many went to
fight unarmed and got weapons
only when they were able to over
come resistance of guards at an
army arsenal.
The task of disarming some TO-
1000 fiery followers now faces the
administration.
Mr.. Estenssoro disclosed he has
refused armed protection to per-
init the opposition newspaper La

Minister Hugo Roberts announced
earlier the paper would have to
stay closed few days until hot
heads in the populace cool off.
