Gross Profits Aided
By Price Increase
By Nelson M. Shepard

Leaders in the tobacco indus
try concede that almost all of
last weeks price rise on cigar
cites, averaging SO cents more
revenue per 1000 cigarettes, will
go to gross profit, 1t was report
ed today.
At the outside, it was said,
perhaps 4 cents Of the increase
might be absorbed by increased
costs of transportation and pack
aging. But some leaders doubt
even that much would be used
up. That optimistic outlook was
based on hope that there might
be a slight decline in operating
costs.
This expectation is based on
the fact. it was said, that. to-
bacco for this years production.
which has been aging for two or
three years, was obtained large
ly at lower than prevailing
prices.
Tobacco people justify the
price increase, primarily. on the
steadily declining profit margins
of the industry. In 1910, net
profit ran SO per cent of sales.
That had dropped to 5.3 per cent
in 1949, to 3.5 per cent in 1851,
and for the first nine months of
1852 was at a 3 per cent rate.
The price rise. it was claimed.
should improve this condition
considerably, even allowing for
excess profits taxes.

Traffic Director Keneipp's announce
ment of a proposed change to fiat fees
for all vehicles will be shock to the
average car owner, when he discovers
what it will do to him.
Keneipp says the change will cut the
rate for small-car owners and cites the
rates on new cars to show a saving.
But he ignores the fact that there are
eight or ten times as many owners Of
older cars as there are of new cars,
and, according to his scheme, the owner
of an eight-year-o car, sale value
$3.50. would pay the same tax as the
owner of a new $1,700 car.
Keneipp cites the saving Of SIT to
the owner of new $1,700 car, but does
not mention that this will be for
license only, and that the value of the
car will be added to the owners per-
sonal property tax.
District officials do not spend time
trying to reduce taxes 40 per cent. and
it is apparent that this is a scheme
to jump the tax up on the car owner.
Why did not the Traffic Director cite
the savings of the owner of 5000 car?
Because the tax on the majority of
owners would be increased. Get hon.

Pedestrians Nightmare

The American Automobile Association has
come up with an appalling prediction. It is
that 66 million Americans will climb into %
million automobiles and set out on vacations
to see the sights in 1858. AS an average, each
car will travel 1900 miles in IL days, and each
of the three occupants will spend $14O for the
privilege of locking his front door and going
away omewhere-anywhere. e
And where is anywhere? AS far as the
United States is concerned, it's almost every
where Twenty-six States now rate travel
among their three biggest industries and two
of them, New Jersey and New Mexico, give
it top ranking. And there are times, of course,
when it seems that almost all of these % million
cars must be going somewhere-or standing
still-in downtown Washington.
The $s2 billion involved in this particular
type of holiday travel is only one of the minor
statistics, of course, in the overall picture of
the part the automobile plays in the American
economy. The man who invented buggy to
go with his horse was Just piker.

Corey's Views on Reds

that the CIO got stomach full of

that Mr.. Guynn did not, and I offer in

THE implication of Mr.. Lawrence

good cause in the best sense. Like all
the others he played the great game of

overwhelmingly repudiated at the polls.

Good Man for a Touqh Job

President Eisenhower is fortunate in secur-
ing the services of Philip Young, dean of the
Graduate School Of Business at Columbia Uni
Versity, as chairman of the Civil Service Com
mission. Mr.. Young'S familiarity with personnel
problems of the Federal establishment, gained
through long experience in key administrative
posts here, will stand him in good stead in his
new job.
Mr.. Young we'll knows that he is to occupy
particularly difficult and burdensome position.
The chief reward to which he can look forward
is the satisfaction that comes with serving the
new administration in vital arm of the Gov
eminent, one that has great deal to do with
the Eisenhower goal of placing the Federal de-
partmentS and agencies on more busineSsike
basis. The preliminary progress toward that
goal has been hampered by the fact that the
Civil Service Commission has been virtually
marking time without a leader since the
resignation last January of former Chairman
Robert Ramspeck. Meanwhile, many matters
relating to personnel policies have been piling
up at the commissions Offices. These include
proposals for revising some Of the programs
which have resulted in placing some policy
making jobs under civil service. The new
administration would prefer to have it's own
appointeeS serving in such Offices.
Mr.. Young, a son of Owen D. Young, has
served creditably in the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Treasury Department and the
Foreign Economic Administration. He is a
Republican. If the two remaining members of
the commission are replaced, as has been pre-
dicted, another Republican and Democrat will
be named. Under the law the commission must
have at least one member from the opposition
party.
An important distinction not hitherto &C
corded csc chairmen will be accorded Mr..
Young. He will attend cabinet meetings as the
Presidents personal adviser on civil service
problems. This added prestige to the job is in
line with suggestion of the Hoover Commits
sion, which felt that in the past the commission
has been showed aside into sort of stepchild
role. Personnel management is important
enough to warrant the special attention which
President Eisenhower is giving to it,

pleasures were somehow slightly dis
reputable.
The pleasures are. of course, as old
as life itself.
They include the stretching of leg
muscles, the general physical v1goration
of the whole system. and above all
the increase in the usual role Of breath
ing. This last is a momentous thing
all by itself, and the fact that SO
many persons today do not realize 1t
shows how far down the path to some
thing or other we have travelled.
Many of us do not need much muscle
in our daily work. but we do need
more than can be secured by hopping
in and out a car every day for even
so little as a two-block run. That
this may be made up by golf and other
precision exercises may be true, but
even these lack what just plain walk
ing possesses.
The increase in breathing not only
helps invigorate the physical system,
but it adds certain zest to life, for life
