Food Chain Official
Cites Time Saved by
Modern PROCESSING

Today'S housewife need spend
about four hours less in the
kitchen than her mother did,
according to John A. Logan,
president of the National Asso-
citation of Food Chains.
He said the homemaker "can
save an average of almost four
hours daily in preparing three
meals, using ready to serve
foods as compared with COM
pletely home-prepared foods. "
This was shown by a recent
Agriculture Department study,
he explained.
The processing and distribu-
tion that makes this possible, he
said, costs the homemaker As
cents an hour.
Food Standard Up so Pct.
Mr.. Logan addressed the
American Marketing Association
at the Maydower Hotel. He said
the outstanding marketing de-
velopment in the last 20 years
has been in the retail food stores.
He asserted the food stand
ard of living" has increased by
a full so per cent. He contrasted
the small corner food store, do
ing an average business Of $1,000
a week, with today's "one-stop"
food stores, doing $4,000 week
business.
The gross margins of food
chains. he said, have dropped
from "a per cent in 1888 to 18
per cent in 1858. He said this
includes the warehouse and
transportation, or wholesale,
function and some processing.
Warning on Postal Rates.
A. w. Motley of New York,
another speaker, warned that
sharp boosts in postal rates
could have a bad effect on busi-
ness.
Mr.. Motley is publisher of
Parade Publications. He said the
increased postal rates as pro-
posed by Postmaster General
Summerfield would be felt by all
business.
Businessmen, he went on, have
been glad to note that progress
has been made in cutting out
waste and ineficiency in the Post
Office and in improving en-
ployeS' morale.

Russians Used Tank.
Later. he worked on drawings
of the Christie tank, a closely
guarded military secret in 1921.
The Army never adopted the
tank, however, and the patent
was bought and later used by
Russia during the war, Col.
Wharton said.
His Army career began when
he won a service scholarship to
the Maryland Institute of Art in
Baltimore. He completed a four
year course there in one year.
He also studied at the Univer-

Before that, he was the only

Ex-CoIoneI With New Ideas

A retired Army colonel, who
once helped design a tank, now
is an art professor at the Uni
versity of Maryland and has
his students working with auto
mobile paint and plastics as a
test of their creativeness.
Col. James P. Wharton, U. S. A.
(retired served in the tank corps
at Fort Meade, Md, from 1919
to 1926 under Capt. Dwight D.
Eisenhower. Since 1948, he has
headed the Fine Arts Depart
ment on the College Park camp
us. He feels that unconventional
art materials and subjects keep
his pupils work from getting
stale.
Paint With Spatulas.
Col. Wharton has his $50 STU
dents apply quick-drying auto
paint with spatulaS instead of
brushes. They also paint on
sheets of plexiglass. The work
is transferred from plastic to
paper with a roller when it is
finished. And he uses two look
alike models instead of one in
life classes.
The students have to paint
double" portraits of two sis
terS. for example, as a workout
in painting different character
and personality traits that are
or should be-visible to artists
in almost identical models.
Col. Whartons innovations
have helped increase enrolment
in the university's fine arts
, classes from only so when the
department. was started in 1945.

5 10 6 Pct. Decline
In Economy Seen by
Planning Official

A or 6 per cent decline in
the Nations economic activ-
ity in 1854, with rise in unem-
ployment from is million this
year to 35 million in 1854, was
forseen today by Gerhard Colin,
chief economist of the National
Planning Association. He ad-
dressed a luncheon meeting of
the American Statistical Asso-
citation at the Shoreham Hotel
which considered the economic
outlook.
Mr.. Colin said that to main
tain full employment next year
there would have to be an in
crease in total production of
about $40 billion. But, he added,
a reduction of about $40 to SIS
billion is indicated by putting
together the fragmentary in
formation now available.
S368 Billion Rate.
The production of goods and
services is now running at the
rate of about 1858 billion for this
year.
Mr.. Colin based his estimate
on the present spending i1iten-
tions of consumers, business and
Government.
He said that a recent survey
of consumer attitudes indicates
that people in general are opti-
miStic about next years income.
However, he said. some decline
in consumers income is likely.
He added that since there is no
indication that consumers intend
to spend larger proportions of
their income, consumer spending
is likely to show a moderate de-
cline.
Defense Spending Down.
The Governments defense
spending may be down So bill
lion or So billion next year, he
said. He added that the con-
tinuing rise in State and local
spending for schools, hospitals,
roads and other Improvements,
will offset much of the decline
in Federal demand.
Business enterprises are plan
ming to spend only little less
for plant and equipment in 1854
than the peak spending this
year, he said.
Summing it all up, Mr.. Colin
said the trend is mildly down."
adding, IF the community
maintains it's confidence that
the Government is ready and
willing to act, it should be pos
sible to prevent the downturn
from developing into a depres-

Mortality Rates
Rising for Those
Retiring at IS
But individuals
Health Is Factor,
Economists Told

Do persons who retire from
employment at the Social Secur-
ity retirement age of SIS teno
to die earlier than if they hao
continued working?
Robert J. Myers, chief actuary
of the Social Security Admins
tration, said today the figures
show the answer is yes.
But he explained that it is
likely that higher mortality in
the early years of retirement is
caused by the fact that those in
poorer health are more apt to
quite promptly at the minimum
retirement age while healthier
individuals continue to work.
Under the Social Security in
surance program, he said, the
average retirement age is now
SO for men and somewhat over
68 for women. 1t was generally
about a year higher in the 1940-
'5O decade.
Speaks at ShOreham.
Mr.. Myers addressed a joint
meeting at the Shoreham Hotel
Of the American Statistical AS
sociation, American Public
Health Association and the
American Association of Uni
versity Teachers of Insurance.
These are three of 13 economic
associations which are meeting in
Washington. Several thousand
members of the organizations
are in attendance. Some of the
meetings opened yesterday,
others today. and will run
through Wednesday.
In addition to those named,
meetings are being held by these
ORGANIZATIONS: American Eco
nomic Association, American
Finance Association, American
Marketing Association, Econo-
metric Society, Industrial Rela-
tionS Research Association, In
stitute of Mathematical Statis-
tics, American Business Law AS
sociation, Catholic Economic As
sociation, American Farm Eco
nomic Association and the Bio
metric Society.
Death Rate Variations.
Mr.. Myers said that experience
under the civil service retire
ment program and the railroad
retirement system indicates gen.
orally that the death rate is
lower than the standard for
those retiring at earlier ages
than the normal. 1t is also
higher for those retiring at the
normal age and a few years
later.
He said this seems to indi-
cate that the higher mortality
shortly after retirement at or
after the normal age is in con-
siderable part due to the fact
that i'll health tended to cause
retirement rather than vice
versa"
Compulsory Retirement Peril.
Mr.. Myers insisted that all
this does not mean that COM
pulsory retirement might not
have a serious effect on an in
dividualS health and vitality.
This would be especially true if
the person had not adjusted
himself to separation from en-
ployment."
A speaker before an American
Statistical Association meeting
yesterday called attention to the
dearth of good criminal statis-
tics in the United States.
He was ThorSten Sellin, pro-
fessor of sociology at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. He
pointed to the need of revising
some of the standard classifica-
tions of offenSes employed by
many national and State agen-
cies. He also said there is need
for more carefully computed
crime rates than those now be-
ing published.
