ured by consumer expenditures,
he went on, will establish for this
year an all-time high.
If the country is to maintain
its economic stability, he said, it
must:
/. Develop new and better
products designed to satisfy
buyers in a rapidly changing
market.
2. Employ more and better
statesmen and increase sales pro-
motion and advertising.
3. Cut distribution costs.
4. Do a better job In market
and distribution research.
Sees Program Possible.
Mr.. Williams expressed conf
dence such a program can be
carried out. It was put in a
somewhat different way at an
other session of the marketing
organization by Arthur H. Mot
ley, president of Parade Publi-
cations, Inc. He said, I'VE have
to ring every doorbell on the
block if we are to have an ex-
panding economy"
A Ford Motor Co. official told
the marketing association today
the prospects for the automo-
bile industry are good"
R. j. Eggert. program planning
manager of the Ford division of
the company, said consumers
own so per cent more liquid
assets than they did in the pre-
war years.
I'm 1885," he said, "the aver
age was $2,700. Today the figure
stands at $4,000. And statesmen
should take heart from the fact
that 30 per cent have spendable
assets exceeding $1,000"
The statistical organization's S
meeting which attempted a fore
cast for 1854 heard a prediction
OF a decline of about 5 per cent
in output. This was made by
Gerhard Colm, chief economist
OF the National Planning Asso-
citation.
Job Drop Expected.
To maintain full employment,
he said. an increase of about 6
per cent in production would be
necessary. He estimated unem-
ployment might rise from Is
million this year to about 3.S
million next year
Courtney c. Brown, head of
the economic staff of the
Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey
suggested a 3 to per cent de-
cline in output in 1854. But he
saw no indications of a "comula-
tive chaos" He said a major
policy issue is to recognize we
are faced with some sort of a
recession.
Mr.. Wells was the most opti-
mlst1c of the meetings. three
speakers. He estimated average
prices received by farmers next
year would hold near current
levels. and that consumer buy
Ing power would be about the
same next fall as this fall.
He looked for a more normal
business year" than any in the
last 10 or IL years.

Labor Has Missed
N-Year Goal on lis
Income, Analyst Says

Clark Kerr. chancellor of the
University Of California at
Berkeley, said today that labor
has not reached its goal of the
last two decades to obtain a
larger share of the Nations in
come.
He told the American Eco
nomic Association there are three
chief reasons for this. la
First" he said, unions have
raised wage rates, by and large.
little above the levels which 9TH
erwise would have been reached.
Second, employers have been
able to raise prices and thus pre-
serve their profit margins.
Third, employers have been
able, largely through labor-sav-
ing inovations, to offset higher
money rates.
"As consequence unions have
not been able, on the average, to
take profits from employers and
distribute them to workers. How
ever, the share of both labor and
profits have gained over the last
two decades as the shares of in
terest and rent have gone down."
Economist Takes Issue.
Prof. Sumner H. Slichter. noted
Harvard University economist. in
a speech this afternoon appeared
to take issue with Chancellor
Kerr. Prof. Slichter said:
1T would be strange il the
bargaining ability of unions were
so specialized that unions were
able to force employers to accept
the deeply abominated union or
closed shop and yet not force
them to pay somewhat higher
money wages than they would
otherwise pay"
Discussing whether wage fixing
arrangements are inf1ationary,
Prof. Slichter said the end of the
present advance in hourly earn
ings is not in sight. He added
that if the public strongly insists
that employers hold labor costs
stable, the employers probably
will do so.
But. he added. if the public is
indifferent, employers will find
it easier to accept small in
creases in labor costs rather
than to risk shutdowns and the
community will have a slowly
rising price level.
Compares 80 and so Figures.
Edward F. Denison, Commerce
Department economist, gave
some specific figures on the sub
ject. He said that in non-farm
corporations the workers share
of total income was TAI per cent
in 1929 and averaged 74.2 per
cent in the five postwar years.
In non-farm proprietorships
and partnerships labor's slice
represented 48.4 per cent of total
income in 1929 and an average
of so per cent in 1948-1952. On
farms it was 16.5 per cent in
1929 and 16 per cent of total in
come in 1948-1952

istration-supported legislation to
broaden social security coverage
by millions of workers. He op-
posed. as did other speakers, a
freeze Of the social security con-
tribution at is per cent each on
workers and employers. It is due
to go up to 2 per cent Saturday.
He said a freeze would raise
the problem of whether the sys-
tenn is to be supported by pay
as-you-go plan instead of build
ing up trust fund. A freeze at
this time, he said. would almost
inevitably mean the former.
j. Douglas Brown, Princeton
University economist who helped
draft the Social Security System.
asSailed the Chamber position as
a small edition of the Townsend
Plan" Edwin E. Witte labeled
it a baby Townsend Plan"
Mr.. Brown called the Cham
ber's program a clever one which
seeks to attract support by
offering free pensions to millions
of voters"
Nelson H. Cruickshank, direc-
tor OF social insurance activities
OF the AFL, said a cynical
scheme" to rob wage earners, is
revealed in costly propaganda de-
signed to convince the American
public that social security con-
tributionS are only taxes.
He said also that a recent line
of attack has been a campaign
to convince the people the Gov
ernment is defrauding them by
misuse of the word insurance"
Debate Guaranteed Wage.
Representatives of the Cham
ber and of the CIO Auto Workers
Union also clashed in another
meeting which was considering
a guaranteed annual wage. A
number of CIO unions are pro-
posing that employers agree to
finance such wage plans which
would add jobless payments to
what workers draw in unemploy-
ment insurance benefits.
DR.. Emerson P. Schmidt, eco
nomic research director for the
Chamber, told an Industrial Re
lations Research Association
meeting there was danger in
making jobless benefits so high
that a worker. when laid of.
might be reluctant to search for
a new job.
Nat Weinberg, research direc-
tor for the Auto Workers Union.
said that if employers saw to it
there were plenty of jobs there
would be no need for guaranteed
wage provisions nor any question

DETROIT-Special-A man who
strangled his mother three years
ago has been awarded $4,000 from

of a $4,000 CT insurance policy

Sgt. Glance Clark Prisoner OF War
Rankin County, Mississippi

No true lover of democracy Christianity, truth, and
the real American way of life which arises out of the
spirit and purpose of the founding fathers of the nation
fail to have anything but the highest praise and ad
miration for young Sgt First Glass Glance Clark Negro
soldier from Rankin County, Mississippi after reading
his story of how he rebued the reds in their efforts to
convert him to communism during almost two years
prisoner of at the famous Red Prison Camp which
came to be known the University of Pykantung be-
of the brutay strenuous efforts used there by the
Reds their efforts to inoctrnate American and 9TH
er War Prisoners with Communism.
Rankin County Mississippi highly honored by
the stand of Sgt Clark, is of those counties in the
state of Mississippi where Negro Citizens still de-
MED the right to register and qualify to vote fact
which stands out in stark contradiction of the stand
made by Sgt Clark while in Communist Prisoner camp,
and of the things for which he fought for which he
wounded and for which he gave his blood the Korean
Battlefield before becoming prisoner of war.
Those who read his story may also be moved by
the prayer and hope that he will be able to leave
the hospital and return to the and quiet Of the
community of his nativity of his family and old friends
1.-THE story of Henry Fletcher Negro Veteran of
World War Two and his effort to register and qualify as
Citizen of America and of Rankin County, Mississippi
is still part of its less pleasant history.
Rankin County honor Sgt. Clark as he has al
ready honored Rankin County, and at least partially
erased the Henry Fletcher in its history by or
as he returns, making him the first Negro to
qualify peacefully and without molestaton voter
of Rankin County

Rev. Dubra, who is a prominent
Methodist minister, is Secretary
of the Board of Temperance in the
state, and served with the rank
of major in the Chaplain Corps in

With reports that the President
of the Mississippi Negro Teachers
Association was hesitant' about
turning over funds for the suit,
there were growing reports over
the state that the Masons, Elks,
Tabors, Afro-Americans, as well
as other organizations will be
asked for contributions to help
carry on the suits in the name of
full freedom and democracy for
