NEW YORK IL The demand
for money continues to grogand
the supply Is tightening up again.
This may sound Ike Z report on
your individual case. II is also
true Of the business world.
Bankers expect The demand for
credit and for new capital will
reach new heights III i few more
weeks. And they report that the
easing In the money supply which
came III June after the Federal
Reserve Board lowered bank re-
serve requirements has be en-
soaked up as 4 result Of the recent
~. S. treasury borrowing Of about
six billion dollars.
Banks were forced to get up
reserve balances 10 support their
subscriptions TO the new issue.
Money became tight again.
The financial story, as the Fed
Ieral Reserve Bank Of Cleveland
sees it, Is the livery strong cur
rent and prospective demand for
credit from both public and pri-
|yate borrowers. This tends to
Ioutrun 4 large Supply n savings
valuable for investment !.
The u. S. Treasury isn't the only
one looking for more cash these
days. The Cleveland bank fore
casts that mortgage debt may ex-
pand this year BY nine billion dol
lars. A similar expansion in mort
gage debt incurred in excess Of
Irepayments took place In 1852.
The Department of Commerce
says the demand for mortgage
money continues high. even though
there was some slackening off in
new home starts in May and June.
Business firms have told the de-
Ipartment they plan to spend . rec

plant expansion. But more new

A Letter From
BILL LANTAFF

Dear Neighbor:
President Eisenhower requested
SO million dollars for the Voice OF
America in the recently consid.
cred supplemental appropriation
bill.
The COMMITTEES slashed about
20 million dollars from this re.
quest. A move was made on the
floor Of the House to restore 20
million dollars Of these funds fol
the Voice which would still moi
have given the President all he
asked for; however. the attempt
was defeated by q vote Of 244 to
l54.
In my opinion. this was poor
economy. OF course. the Voice
|of America had not done the JOB
we would like to have il do
Many mistakes have been made
but the fact remains it is a mos
important and most effective
weapon.
Although the free world is en-.
gagged in q shooting war in Korea
and Indo- China, elsewhere it !:

problem in the world today IS PEG.
pie, and the biggest problem about
people IS that there are more d
them IN the world every year.
In the middle years Of the mos,
enlightened century in history. 1
century in which science has saved
and war has destroyed-mcrs
lives than ii any three previous
centuries, the human race is still
increasing at the rate Of 20 million
3 year.
This is on the basis Of 4 United
Nations estimate that roughly So,
600 more new mouths open for food
each day than death closes.
From global point Of view man.
kind IS IN race between the brain,
the belly, and the reproductive
process. The task is for the human
mind to increase the world food
supply enough to fill all the crying
new empty stomachs that result
from the Oldest known mathemati,
cal formula Boy meets girl: re.
suit, children"
Here in AeEica, however, we
have special situation. The mo-
tor car has been outbreeding peO-
pie.
The human population in the
United States. according TO one re-
cent estimate, is growing at the
rate Of two million or more . year,
with some 800 potential voters be.
ing born every Is seconds.
But this is q wide open country
still, with plenty of food and space,
and there Is more than enough
room yet for millions Of Americans
still unborn.
The same isn't true of the motor
car. In recent years the aut0mo.
bile here has been outbreeding
people two to one. But the threat
of a slowing down in its birth rate
is upon US.
Nearly 3iA cars already have
been delivered so far this year
{ although not all to customersl,
and the head Of General Motors Is
quoted as being hopeful the mar
ket win absorb Sla by the end Of
1858.
But the automobile industry Is
running into ! real over population
A newly married couple
today can still find a place to park
a new baby, and know that there
win be room for 1t to play as II
grows older. But the same couple
no longer is sure, II they get q
new automobile, where they can
park it--Or even where they can
drive it, on many days, without
ending up In q traffic jam.
A fellow buys a new car and
then goes to his psychiatrist and

Our civilization is nearing the
point where, the roads being 50

few. the only thing left for . mo-
torist to do Is jack his car up and
drop by every other Saturday and
polish IT for fun. II he moves It,
he may not find another place u

and the widow auctions of his Ca
rage space. Even then he may
have to buy his late neighbor's cal
to get II.
The birth rates OF motor cars
and babies are closely tied together
In America, as a family that wants
one usually wants the other.
So If we want more Americans
we have to do something to keeT
the auto industry happily spawn
ing.
But what?
My theory Is that we win have
10 change our habits. Today we al
go to work at the same time, come
home at the same time. take thu

hours, vacation in the same months
and try to 90 TO the same beaches

was very young. She attended
elementary and high schools
there and was graduated from
Ohio Wesleyan in Delaware,
Ohio. She was student YWCA
secretary at the University of
Minnesota and later held the
same position at Northwestern
University. Next, she went to
New York as executive director
of the international Student
Committee, which planned va
cations for foreign woman stu
dents and assisted them in be-
coming acquainted with home
life in the United States.
The Beattys moved to Wash
ington in 1916, and soon there
after Mrs. Beatty Joined the
League of Women Voters. She
believes that membership in
that organization speeded up
her knowledge of Washington
more than anything else. She
was elected second vice presi-
dent of the league but soon
thereafter the first vice presi-
dency and the presidency be-
came vacant so she automati-
cally became president. II just
fall into these emergencies as
they come along" Mrs. Beatty
said. She was reelected presi-
dent the following year.
Mrs. Beatty is on the board
of the Washington Housing AS
sociation and the board of the
YWCA. She is chairman of
the Nominating Committee of
the League of Women Voters
and a member of the Nominating
Committee of the United Serv-
ices. She told me that she will
become the chairman of the
YWCA Centennial Committee
when the Community Chest
campaign is completed.
It was growing dark and near
the end of Mrs. Beatty's volun-
teer workday. 1t was time for
her to go home to Virginia.

Mrs. Beotty's Untiring Work for Chest
|NNiI| Benefit Many in Washington Area
By Horriet French

Mrs. Donald c. Beatty hurried
from the taxi into the Commu-
nifty Chest headquarters of the
Washington Hotel. She had just
come from one of her committee
meetings in Georgetown. "I1l
just tell them that I'm here"
said she, then we can talk"
Fast-moving little Mrs. Beatty
is the chairman of the residential
unit of the Community Chest
Federation.
''It takes a lot of door -to-door
calling to raise our quota of
$278, 8,000," said Mrs. Beatty.
When asked how she account
ed for the lead her unit has
maintained throughout the cam
paign, she said that it had
started off with the hope that
they might finish their job n
three weeks. however, it had
been physically impossible be-
cause of the necessity of making
so many return calls.
'If one becomes too foot
weary and discouraged making
return calls, or even being turned
down. the best tonic is to go into
one of the agencies, supported
by the Chest and to see the help
being given to children or old
people. The visist will make you
want to go back on the job"
Mrs. Beatty explained.
Another factor in her units
success, Mrs. Beatty thinks, is
the series of stimulating report
luncheons under the chairman
ship of Mrs. Harold H. Burton.
Mrs. Beatty gives much credit
to her administrative commit
tee, composed of Mrs. Jacques
ReinStein, Mrs. Henry King,
Mrs. Theodore o. Wedel, Mrs.
Burton. Mrs. Ezekiel G. Stod-
dard. Mrs. A. L. Spencer. Mrs
Maurice A. Hacke, Mrs. Lloyd S.
Luther and Mrs. Charles v.
Morris.
"I started recruiting for tkis
campaign last April" said Mrs
Beatty. When asked where and
how she finds her workers, she
explained that she asks minis
ters and school principals to
recommend prospects. She also
goes to PTA and citizens as
sociation meetings to recruit.
But" lamented Mrs. Beatty, Il
never have enough workers in
any campaign. The money is
there but we just don't have
enough volunteers for 1O1 agen-
cieS"
Mrs. Beatty gave high praise
to her workers: Some area
chairmen and workers have
volunteered to help in other
areas after obtaining their own
quota. and these women are all
| busy with other civic duties and
their own households. To gain
friends and to know Washing
ton better-these are the per-
sonal rewards, over and above
the little Oscars that some
receive"
Mrs. Beatty is the wife of the
assistant director of chaplains'
service of the Veterans Admin
istration. Mr.. Beatty was a
chaplain in the Air Force in
World War II. During the last
two and one-half years of the
war Mrs. Beatty was on the staff
of the New York YWCA while
her husband was on duty at
Mitchell Field.
