u. ). Business Firms
Plan More Spending
In '53, Agency Says
By the Assoeioted Prass

Business firms in the United
States plan to spend more this
year than ever before for new
plants and equipment, thus
keeping a principal economic
boom factor working hard.
A Commerce Department re-
port, based on plans disclosed to
Government agencies by busi-
neSSmen, says business capital
outlays in 1853 are scheduled at
a new record rate of $27 billion.
That would be rs per cent as
much as the 1852 gross national
product (the sum Of all SPEND
ing in the country during the
year, and Al per cent as much
as total private investment dur
ing 1852.
Free to Change Plans.
Businessmen, of course are
free to change plans as they
think best, but the Government
report said businessmen have
raised their 1853 capital outlay
plans since last october.
United States business spent
$26.5 billion for new plants and
equipment in 1852. This years
plans, if carried out, would
therefore represent an increase
Of about 1.9 per cent above the
1852 record high. The heaviest
spending is planned for the first
half Of the year. with some
shrinkage probable after that.
Some Plan Increase.
Producers of non-durable goods
plan to increase their capital
outlays from 1852, but durable
goods makers expect a decrease
of about the same amount.
The report on business expan-
sion plans was based on data
submitted by corporations reg
istered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. plus a
sampling by the Commerce De-
partment of non-registered firms.
Public utilities lead the way
this year with the heaviest
planned percentage increase in
expenditures, up II per cent
from last years S3.838, 900, 900 to
1865. 900. 900.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. IA
(JACL ADC)-The Washington
JACL office established itself in its
new home last Wednesday. -.
Its address is now: Washington
JACL office, Suite 81, 1887 II st.N.W

With the moving of the Washing

one long chapter in the history of
japanese Americans visiblv comes
to an end and another begins.

JACL convention, against the back
drop of general community suspi-
cion and hostility, the JACL dele
gates created the JACL ADO and
set forth three primary detectives
for it: Elimination of racial discri-
mination from our naturalization
law; Evacuation Claims program to
compensate persons of Japanese an
cestry for losses suffered in their
forced removal from the western
states; and Stay of Deportation A
mendment to provide administra-
tive relief to worthy Japanese aliens

Legislature was discussed by the
jackson st. Community Council,
coard of trustees at its regular meet
ing last week.
-Four proposals submitted by the
councils welfare committee were
approved as follows:
1. That public welfare rolls should
be made available, as they now are
to authorized persons as needed for
proper administration of the welfare
program, but that they should not
be published or publicized.
2. That an amendment should be
passed giving the state the right to
recover an amount up to the a.
mount of assistance given from the
estate of the deceased recipient
provided, however, that no claims
are entered against property occu-
pied by the dependent spouse or mi
nor children.
3. That. if ratable reductions in

nancial reasons, they should be ap-
piled equally to all categories of as

ther and parent for the support of
minor children, and other relatives
should be encouraged to accept res
possibility but not required by law

These recommendations have been
sent to Representative Frank Con-
nor, legislator from this district and

The Evacuation Claims Act and
the Stay of Deportation Amend
ment were secured i'm 1913. In 1851
Congress approved the JACL ADO

The old Washington JACL ADO
Office was a five-minute walk from
the "Hill''-that heavy acreage of
buildings whose corridors bear the

most powerful legislators.
The now dismantled JACL ADO
headquarters boiled under the
steaming Washington summers and
in the fever of it's own intense and
tumultuous activities In its cram
ped and overloaded confines, Mike
Masaoka, as national legislative di-
rector, welded the JACL ADO into
a formidable legislative and public
relations instrument.
For six years, the MasaOkas' home
doubled as the Washington office
of the JACL Ado. Rarely i'm that
period did the Masaokas sit down
to dinner without having il inter
rupted by phone calls. In those
days, the phone rang as often at
night as during the day Frequent
ly, a lonely Nisei Gil, wandering
through the nations capital, would
call in the early hours of the morn
ing to ask for the address of a
friend or a place to go to have a
good time.
In the new quarters, Mike Masa-
Okla will have a separate but adjoin-

zation which sucks the life

tries, but rather be the shield
behind which confidence will
grow to invigorate all of the
protected nations.
It has been said that the
proper role of military strength
is to give time for moral ideas
to take root. The role of NATO
is to enable the great moral
and spiritual principles Of
Western civilization to take
root and blossom again after
the ravages of two world wars.
That was the conception of
those Americans who, without
regard to party. joined with
the other free peoples to create
the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization. That is the con-
ception for which so many
Americans, without regard to
party, have given their dedi-
Gated efforts. That is the con-
ception which we believe is
now nearing realization.
President Eisenhower. in the
message which he sent through
us to the NATO Council, said,
"NATO has become a mighty
force for peace and an instru-
ment of enduring cooperation
among the Atlantic peoples"
AS such it greatly increases
what the President, in his chal-
longing address. called "the
chance for peace"

Britain. in short, could not

ton as a connecting link between

and it has its primary location
in Europe.
Also we discussed with the
British and the French. among
others, the matter of general
economic aid from the United
States. Some call it a "hapd-
out" That is hardly fair. be-
cause the United States has
gained intangible, if not spe-
ciflc. benefits.
Americans have always gen.
erously responded to emergen-
cy needs. But outright grants
ought to be reserved only for
real emergencies. They are a
kind of crutch which may be
needed from time to time. But
as soon as there is economic
health and the opportunity for
a people to earn their way by
their own efforts, then the
crutch ought to be thrown
away. We believe that this is
becoming increasingly possible.
We talked over that view
point with our friends in
Europe. We found that they
welcomed a relationship which
would be dignif1ed and self
respecting for all concerned.
There are plenty of ways
whereby the British and
French and others can con-
tribute in Europe or Asia to
special efforts which are in the
common interest. Then they
will be more and more earning
their way.

New Policies Seen
By Dulles as Givinq
Bargain in Security
By Gornett D. Homer

Secretary of State Dulles says
the United States should get
more security for less money"
as the result of new policies on
foreign aid and the Western
defense buildup.
Mr.. Dulles outlined the new
policies in a television and radio
report to the Nation last night
on the North Atlantic Treaty
council meeting in Paris last
week.
He made these main points:
l. The NATO allies will get
greater defense strength at less
cost by putting emphasis now on
raising the quality rather than
the quantity of their forces.
2. For the aid dollars it spends
abroad, the United States will
get specific results which may
enable it to save in other Sc
curity measures.
3. Mr.. Dulles gave no figures
on the Eisenhower administra-
tons foreign aid rogram ex-
pected to be submitted to Con-
gress next week and reported
to call for around $6 billion for
the next fiscal year.
New Weapons Studied.
He said much through was
given at the Paris meeting to
new technical weapons" and
the increased power they can
give to European defenses. Pre-
sumably he was referring to
such things as atomic artillery.
The new NATO defense plans,
he said. call for a steady buildup,
but in way to relieve the ex-
cesSive strain that has been
thrown on allied economies.
I'VE put our emphasis on get
ting greather strength by less
costly methods" Mr.. Dulles said.
This can be done by improving
quality rather than by seeking
an immediate large increase in
quantity"
He said the planned lift in
NATOs combat effectiveness can
be figured at as much as 80
per cent this year.
Aid Easing Seen.
Already. he declared, Western
Europe's strength is such as to
be no "puShover" for a possible
Soviet attack.
Mr.. Dulles reported that Gen.
Ridgway. the NATO comman-
der, and his chief of staff, Gen.
Gruenther, believe that there is
enough strength in Western
Europe now to make it neceS-
sary for the Russians to REIN
force their armies now in or
near Eastern Germany if they
plan to overrun Europe.
Mr.. Dulles pointed out that
the Russians could not make
such re-inforcements without
our knowledge" and said this
probably would give time to
make countermoves which might
deter actual assault.
In regard to foreign aid, Mr..
Dulles said the Eisenhower ad-
miniStration believes it is be-
coming increasingly possible" to
throw away the crutch of out
right grants to other nations"
But he said this country would
still be spending substantial
sums abroad and it's allies need
not fear too great reduction in
their dollar income"
