In determining the long-term
trend of any industry, constant
watch should be kept for new dis
cOveries, new inventions, and new
products. These can either ruin or
make very profitable the Industries
affected. Hence, the great impor-

research; also of keeping informed
of the secrets which the Patent
Office can reveal to those willing to
pay for constant watchfulness of
what is going on there.
Opportunities For Investors
The above means that the desire

hundreds of compilations covering

Dear Friends
Yesterday we attended chapel
on the base and partOok in World
Wide Communion Sunday. Every
church service in a base chapel is
particularly impressive, but
thought yesterdays service was
even more so. People all over the
world recognized yesterday as
World Wide Communion Day and
in the service you are especially
conscious of such unity when many
in the congregation are from all
over the world. There was a Chi
nese couple sitting near us, a col
Ored couple midway in the church,
my London, England, neighbOr was
there, the general on the base,
General Joseph Caldara and Mrs.
Caldara were there and they are
from Maryland. our friends sitting
with us were from Alabama and
Georgia, so really we had our own
international congregation.
While we're speaking of people
from all over the world, Mrs. John
Allen, better known to you in Mil
ford as the former Mary Pearce,
wrote to. me from GrOtOn, Mass,
when we arrived in Kansas, and
said that the commanding general
! here, General Caldara, was a col
! lege class mate of her husband,
Jack, at the University of Mary
/ land.
The chaplain that we have every
Sunday (there are three) is from
Michigan. The interesting part
about Chaplain John SchOning and
his wife is they have both learned
to fly since they have been station
ed at Forbes. They belong to the
SAC Aero Club, to which Hayes
also belongs, and in their spare
time you can see the SchOnings at
the airport. Both of them have
sOlOed already. He has told Hayes
that he, too, plans to stay in the Air
Force.
The English neighbor of mine
that I mentioned being in church
surprised me the other day. Hayes
had gone to the base with FREQ
Shirley one morning and had left
me the car, but had forgot to leave
the necessary keys! Phones are
just unObtainable in this Air Force
village and so I went to the Eng
lish girls home to call Hayes anC
see what could be done about my
getting the keys. In her beautiful
English accent she said, Il say
could you strike a spark with tn,
wires?' / could not strike a sparl
and had not the vaguest idea wha
she was talking about. 1t seems
that when she lived in London dur
ing World War II it was agains
the law to leave your keys in tn,
car and against the law too to leav,
your distributor in the car and thi
young girl learned quite a few
tricks about the mechanics of au
tOs. You see, they were very awar,
of fifth cOlumnists landing in thei
United Kingdom and they were no
allowed to leave transportation
parked in the streets available fol
their use.

Friends Or Foes!
On July 10, 26 and 80 last year, as
we reported to you shortly after
ward, radar scopes at the Washing
ton National Airport picked up "ob-
jects" which lot of impressiOnable
people, including seasoned iiers,
assumed were those flying saucers.
But the Air Force said nuts" in
a formally bureaucratic manner.
And one of their technical experts in
a radio interview appeared never to
have heard the term. He said he
didn't understand the question since
''the words do not describe any
thing"
Today, Major Donald z. Kehoe,
retired Marine officer, says that
these saucers were interplanetary
space ships. and that the White
House and the National Security
Council were SO informed nearly
year ago.
In fact, Major KehOe has written
a book Flying Saucers for Outer
Space" in which he says the Air
Force has secret movies Of these
objects flying in formation over
TremOntOn, Utah, on July End last
year, which prove they are aircraft
from another planet. While he will
not say which planet. he thinks the
evidence indicates the ships are
Martian.
Pilots see these saucers all the
time, says Major KehOe. In fact, he
reports, bomber crew checked
twenty-five of them over the Gull
of Mexico. They were flying at 5000
mph. he said.
The Air Force has already chal
lenged the interpIanetary claim. OF
the grounds that the major presents
only a personal opinion to back i
up.
OF course, he isn't sure they come
from Mars. It's possible, he thinks
that they might be taking off from

Future. This is a more difficult fac
tor to measure; but we are con-
stantly discovering more ways of
doing so. When one considers that
fully 95 per cent of investors. con-
sciOusly or uncOnsciOusly. fail to
act upon the above rules (since only

opportunities awaiting those few
investors who do have and do use

One Final Thought
The unfortunate thing today is
that. due either to ineXperience or
to lack of the necessary data out
lined above, investors are being fed
with both bullish and bearish "Out-
looks" Every day contrary opinions
are being published in the same
newspapers, or magazines, or by
competing investment services. This
is very unfortunate 1t is like re-
leasing each day two completely
opposite weather forecasts!
Businessmen and investors will
not always stand for this nonsense.
I foretell that some day the FRB or
the SEC will interest the IBM in
making a million-dOllar machine
which will daily compute intelli-
gent business and investment fore
casts. Like weather forecasts, such
business and investment forecasts
will not always be correct; but

FALSE GOD

There is no such thing as free money from
the federal government. Grants-in-aid, sub
sides or other such handouts can come only
after the necessary wherewithal has been TAX
EN- from us in taxes. The growing realization
of this fact in all parts of the country is the
best sign in a long time that government
economy, balanced budget, and lower taxes
are possible.
The new trend in thinking is well exem-
plified in statements made by the Missouri
Public Expenditure Survey, which recon-
mends that the national government reduce
or relinquiSh as soon as practicable those
taxes and functions which can effectively be
administered by state and local government.
In Missouri according to the Survey, mot
only does the taxpayer pay in taxes to the
federal government for the aid the state re-
ceives, but finds that in the process of pass
ing from the taxpayer to the federal govern
ment and then back to the state the original
dollar has undergone considerable shrink
age"
AS a matter of fact, $86,0OO,O0O more
is collected III federal excise taxes alone in
Missouri than is returned through the 45
federal aid and subsidy programs operating
in the state. Obviously, if it had some of the
tax sources within its border now utilized by
the federal government, Missouri could easily
assume responsibility for many of the pro-
grams now undertaken by Washington.
The new commission of r-gOvernmen-
tai Relations approved by Congress at the
request of President Eisenhower will prob
ably recommend far-reaching changes which
may do much to restore to local and state gov
ernmentS freedoms, rights, and responsible
ties they have been reinquiShing to the false

BABSON Discusses Market Trends

Babson Park, Mass. October 8. 1t
is strange how most people believe
that stock and other markets go up
when there are more buyers than
sellers, or go down when there are
more sellers than buyers" Yet, this
is nonsense. For every buyer there
must be a seller, and vice versa.
Only One Safe Rule
Market trends depend upon the
relative IMPATIENCE of buyers
VS.. sellers. Or. to speak more tech
nically, when the number of shares
of stock wanted. multiplied by the
relative impatience of buyers, EX-
CEEDS the number shares for sale,
multiplied by the relative impa-
tience of sellers, then prices rise.
The reverse Of this rule determines
when prices decline.
Patience VS.. Impatience deter
mines profits and losses. In the case
of very inactive unlisted stocks, this
is determined by the relative
patience of all would-be sellers or
buyeTs of that one stock must be
considered. When endeavoring to
forecast the trend of the stock mar
ket averages as a whole, the rela-
tive patience of all stockholders
should be considered.
Measuring Patience
When measuring the relative
patience of all stockholders, there
are four factors to consider: 0) A
mount of Free Cash or Credit Avail
able; (2) Relation of Prices to
Business Conditions; (3) Confidence

We are not sure whether it is

whether his audience was as con-

LegiOnaires who heard Mr.. Wilson
at their recent st. Louis convention
later voted down a resolution to
condemn the five billion dollar air
force cut.
The Defense Secretary told the
vetrans I'VE now have the most
powerful and effective air force in
the world" While this statement
included all services, Mr.. Wilson
said the Air Force now has 1O6
activated wings and should have
ia by next June 30. The Air Force
itself, he said, had requested the
cancellation Nof orders for a billion
dollars worth of aircraft (frOm
900 to 1000 planes). These planes.
he said, ARE not needed for the 143
wing program if it is reinstated." ."
or for the l20 wing program either.
In fact, they are not needed period.
But we're not going to save an
other billion, since the money will
pay for types of planes that are
more Importantly needed.
/ Weeks ago, we thought we had

now, we give up. We only hope Mr..

AS PRACTICAL AS A SACK OF
POTATOES

Throughout the country, chambers of
commerce, civic organizations, banks and
other groups are actively engaged i'm seeking
to bring more industry to their communities.
They want the spending and the employment
that come with expanded industrial activity.
This is a perfectly natural and desirable
state of affairs. However, in rural sections
of the nation, there is another and equally
important possibility which is generally over
looked.
That is to work for the improvement in a
scientific and orderly manner of farm pro-
ductiOn. If, for instance, any regions farm
output and farm income could be raised by
20 or 25 per cent, the beneficial effects would
be felt by everyone. And this would be of
lasting service to the country as a whole
which must face the problem of feeding a
swiftly growing population from fixed land
area.
Greatly increased farm production is no
impossible idea-it is as practical as a sack
of potatoes. 1t can be accomplished by max
mum use of machinery in farming, coupled
with proven land conservation tCchniQueS
1t has been said, with full accuracy, that the
tractor TeVOutiOnzed farming. That revOlu-
tlOn is nowhere near cOmpete-preSent- t-daV
farm equipment makes it possible to me-
chanize the work of the land as thoroughly
as the work of the modern factory
The future strength of this country will
depend every bit as much on progress in
farming as on progress in industry The two
go together like the fingers of a hand.

BIGGEST BITE
What takes the biggest bite out of your
days pay The answer is taxes, direct and
indirect, according to a novel chart issued
by the Tax Foundation
The Foundation took for it's example a
wage Garner working eight hours a day and
with an income of $4,000 a year, all of
which he spends. Then it figured out just
how much of his working time is needed
to meet each category of expense
The tax burden, it found, accounted fOl
two hours and 81 minutes of each days
gainful wOr'-far more than for food, hOus-
ing, clothing, recreation, or any other item
We all kick at the high cost of living
1T would make more sense if we kicked al
the high cost of government and demanded
that something be done about it.

FALSE LIBERALISM
Liberalism is one of the greatest anC
most honorable of words But few words
have been so miSuSed and abused.
In the light of that, this excerpt from
recent speech of Herbert HOOVer's is wei
worth remembering: "lt is a false liberal
ism that expresses itself by federal opera
tiOn of business in competition with the citi
zen. 1t is the road not to more liberty bu
to less liberty. True liberalism is found no
in striving to spread bureaucracy, but il
striving to set bounds to it, True liberalism
seeks all legitimate freedom, in the cOnfiden
belief that without freedom, all other bless
ings are in vain. Liberalism is a force trul!
of the spirit coming from a realization tha
economic freedom cannot be sacrificed i
political freedom is to be preserved"

Within a few hours of his swear

of the United States, Earl Warren,
was presiding over the newly
opened fall term of the Supreme
Court. Flags in Washington were
still at half-mast in Difference to the
memory of the late Chief Justice
Fred NJ. VinsOn.
In answer to a question at his first
press conference in ten weeks,
President Eisenhower permitted di-
rect quotation and said that he had
been seeking reputation for integ
rity, honesty, middle-Of-the-rOad
philosophy, experience in govern
ment, experience in the law" The
President concluded with the pre-
diCtiOn that ". he is a man who
will make a great Chief Justice"
In Albany. N. Y, Governor Dewey
topped the Presidents prediction by
saying that Mr. Warren will make
superb Chief Justice"
In other quarters, prior to the
announcement, it was pointed out
that while Governor Warren had
served in public Office as a lawyer,
he was without judicial experience.
And since the Governor was known
to have declined a Cabinet post just
after election, and to have indicated
that he'd like to be in the Supreme
Court, his selection might suggest
compensation Tor his aid and sup
/ port of the Eisenhower forces in
the nominating convention. And
there was uneasiness to over a Chief
Justice who preferred the middle
of the road" in a country that has
traditiOnally kept to the right
According to the history book
the Chief Justice is nominated by
the President and confirmed by the
Senate. There seems little doubt
but that confirmation of Chief JUS
tice Warren would be automatic, il
the Senate were now in session. The
possibility that any question will
be raised next January, after the
new Chief Justice will have beer
sitting for three months, is extreme.
