the labor market in 1853 just about
equaled the number of people who
left it.
What is really happening? Some
workers have left the ranks of the
employed to retire. Some wives
who have been holding down full
time jobs have decided to quit
working out and to make a real
home for their husbands. Many
have not been replaced. These
people do not swell the ranks of the
unemployed; they simply deplete
the ranks of the employed to what
ever extent they are not replaced.
Obviously, in retirement one has
less income. Obvious, also, is the
fact that when a wife ceases to
supplement her husbands income,
that couple will have less money
to spend.
Savings Beat All Records
There's another angle to our
problem: How much money people
have hidden away in their socks.
1t may surprise you to learn that
the top 500 of our families have
readily convertible savings amount
ing to staggering $97 billions. The
bottom 500 share 81 billion in
liquid savings. Our people have
built up a $2OO-billion equity in
their homes, with but a $5O-billion
mortgage debt. 500 of our families
have a net worth greater than a
years income.
When the figures are all in

Hotel Richardson
May Be Demolished
CONTINUED from first page)

However, members of council
have charged that repairs made
then were token" corrections and
some of them merely of a tempo
rary nature. They contend that the
building presents a serious fire
hazard and is a menace to sur
rounding properties and the public
because of asserted structural de-
fects which, they feel, might lead
to its collapse.
An inspection of the structure
was recently made by a committee
appointed by Mayor w. Edward
Hannah. The committee comprised:
COuncilmen w. G. Davis, Stanley
Petty, and Victor E. Holpp, City
Manager G. Preston Ward, Build
ing Inspector Thomas E. Baker.
and Fire Marshal William A..
Hayes. The committee reported it's
findings to council Tuesday night.
Mayor Eaman was fortnight in
his disapprOval of the conditions.
and at one point in the discussion
declared that council could not go
home from the meeting without
taking action if they were to have
clear conscience in the event
some disaster should strike the
hotel before definite action was
taken.
The discussion went on for near
ly two hours, ending with councils
action declaring the building un-
safe. 1t was after midnight when
the vote was taken and the vote
was unanimous. In the midst of the
discussion council invited Max Ter
ry, attorney for the owner, to the
meeting.
Arriving from his home about II
p. m, Mr.. Terry asked that action
be deferred for a day to give him
an opportunity to consult with the
owner and his legal associate anC
to take steps to have an examina
ton made of the building by the
National Board of Fire Under
writer's, the hotels architect, anC
unbiased cor tractors.
However, Council held that tn,
proper move was to take action a
the time, thus furnishing the hote
owner basis for whatever movr
he might elect to make in answe
to the action.
Among charges made by the in
speeding committee were: The cas-
and west walls are held togethe
and kept from falling out by onl,
three eight-inch cables at the tor
bricks in one of the main founda
ton piers are "pOwdering", saggin,

prove to have broken all peace
time records for savings. People
spent much less than they made in
1858. Cash or readily convertible
assets saved in 1853 could have
scared to better than SIG billions,
compared with about SO billions
in 1949 and about $12 billions in
1851. Perhaps the MAD RUSH to
buy is over. This is healthy
sign.
A Key To Prosperity
l like to see this trend, up to a
certain point. However, too much
money lying idle is bad for our
economy. America, you see, is a
country that actually develops its
way to prosperity. And the way
to keep prosperity is to keep rails
ing our living standards higher
and higher by creating more and
more wants for more and more
goods and services without pro-
pOrtiOnately increasing what people
owe.
There are enough Americans who
have money to spend in 1854 to
hold business high. If, for example,
the top 500 of our families with
their $97 billions continue to hold
their purchases high, the lower
500 will be kept busy producing.
All groups will then have the funds
necessary to satisfy their needs
We have a huge backlog of buying
power. It's up to the sales and
advertising brains of the country
to get MS to spend It.

Washington Letter -- By Robert Nelson Taylor
Roads Are Everybody's Business

Roads Are EVerybOdy'S Business
One of the most interesting, lucid
and informative booklets we have
seen in a long time is the Joint
effort of The National Grange and
the National Highway Users Con-
ference entitled Along These
Roads.
1t is the purpose of the booklet,
which is being distributed by the
Grange, to explain the PAR move
ment to farmers and rural COM
munities. 1t tells how to get into
this Project Adequate Roads, and
how to judge what sort of road
is adequate for any particular
community. It is the first thing
we've seen that gets "the highway
problem" down out of the clouds
and onto the ground where roads
are built.
In the joint fOreword, Herschell
D. NewsOm, Master Of the National
Grange, reminds readers there was
a time when Travel from farm TO
market was arduOus and slow.
Medical and other emergency ser
vices were obtained with difficulty
Many farm families lived i'm semi

NewsOm, the American farmer is
a business man who buys and sells
in a far-fung market. He is con-
frOnted with the same problems OF
transportation that face other
business men in cities, towns and
hamlets across the Nation"
Sharing the honOrs with Mr.
Newsom, Chairman Albert Bradley
of the National Highway Users
Conference points out that ".
The National Grange and the NHUC
are mutually agreed that our nation
is confronted with a domestic
emergency of far greater proportion
than any we have faced together
in our years of close relationship

BABs0N: PEOPLE WILL HAVE MONEY TO BUY TN754

Washington, d. c., January IA,
1854. There has been lot of loose
talk about the rise in the cost of
living and the ability of people to
buy. Many readers have asked for
dependable facts. Here are the
official Government figures:
Cost OF Living
To degree, whether people have
money to buy depends on what
they spend for their daily NECES-
Sites. Living costs, without
question, have been flattening out.
From January /, 1852, to date, con-
sumner prices have risen less than
90. This compares with a rise of
1870 in 1916, a SO jump in 1850,
and a 4.596 push in 1851.
What makes these figures even
more meaningful is the fact that,
while living costs have risen less
than go since January, 1852. hourly
earnings in full manufacturing in
dustries have risen about so dur
ing that time. To have held prices
down while wages have gone up is
great achievement on the part of
manufacturers and merchants.
Fewer Now Employed
If people are to have money to
buy, they must have jobs. Although
our labor force normally increases
by about 100000 persons a year
for whom jobs must be provided
1883 show very little change from
those of 1852. This is because new
workers young people, entering

IRON CURTAIN TAX

This year there will be some relief for
the taxpayers, And during it's deliberations
on tax revisiOns, Congress should take a
hard look at the capital gains tax.
This levy has been accurately described
as an iron curtain which divorces two of the
most dynamic factors in American capital
ism-venture capital and industrial growth.
If this country is to keep on going ahead,
people must be encouraged to put money in
untried enterprise-which means enterprise
where there is a considerable risk that the
whole investment will be lost. Investors
take so big a risk for but one reasOn-the
hope of a good profit if the enterprise sue
ceeds. The capital gains tax is very real
barrier to that kind of investment. And the
conservative investor who invests only in
seasoned securities is affected too, by the
knowledge that, if he realizes a profit, the
tax will bite deep.
Moreover, this is not tax that applies
only to few wealthy people. In a recent
year "a per cent of all people reporting
capital gains had incomes of less than S1O,-
900 and AZ per cent were in the under $4,000
bracket.
The best thing that could be done to so
unsound tax is total repeal Failing that,
the rate of capital gains taxation should be
sharply reduced.

Home, Sweet Home

The House of Representatives
on the first day of the present
session honOred Democratic Floor
Leader Sam Rayburn on his seventy
second birthday and adjourned an
hour later (as had the Senate even
earlier) in memory of the late
Chief Justice Fred NJ. Vinson.
In that brief interlude, more than
200 bills were introduced in the
House. This, together with the
broad outline of work-tO- be-dOne,
as contained in President Essen
hOwer's address to the joint session
on the following day, may give you
some idea of the volume of legis-
. latiOn this session must face. AS
for its urgency, we doubt if any
Congress ever had more important
things to consider than UpcOming
measures on internal security,
defense, farm price supports, tax
alton, tariff and foreign aid-to
mention a very few.
But, astonishing as it sounds,
the lawmakers very generally re-
turned to Washington with visions
of early adjournment dancing in
their heads"-like those sugar
plums in The Night Before Christ
mas In fact, Speaker Joe Martin,
on opening day, set up July 1st as
the target date!
Such eagarness is of course ira
ditiOnal with election years. It's
always been that way when House
members were up for reelection.
But some other things are different.
Never before has Congress been
confronted with so many issues
of grave Importance. Never before
has the whole American people
been so Well-infOTmed on the ma
ture and seriousness of pending
legislation, and hence so likely tC
, resent Congressional moves t.

June. And never before has the

BROAD STROKES


chamber of the House of Representatives so
damned that many senators and foreign
diplomats could find standing room only,
heard President Eisenhower give the annual
report required of the nations chief execu-
tive. And so too, by electrOnic means, did a
great majority of Americans in all the AZ
states, and in Alaska and Hawaii.
In a broad, political sense, the Estate of
the union" is whatever the great mass of the
people think it is. 1t is a national state of
mind, compounded of the beliefs hopes,
prejudices, fears and aspirations of all the
people, and which every public servant from
the President down is trying to fathOm.
How accurately has President EisenhOw-
err read the public mind? Perhaps the APP
pause he received is as good an index as any,
since it was furnished by senators and rep
resentatives who have largely spent the past
five months in learning the views of their
constituents e. who are all of us.
The applause that greeted the President
as he was escorted to the rOstrum made
it clear to Americans and the world that
here is a chief executive who is admired, re-
garded affectiOnately as a man and respect
ed as a leader Fifty more times in the next
ffty-Seven minutes applause interrupted the
Presidents speech. The highlights were
these:
A tumult of cheers and clapping engulf-
ed him when, in speaking of Communist sub
version he said: .. g.. we are dealing here
with actions akin to treason .. recon-
4 mend that Congress- enact legislation to
+ provide that a citizen of the United States
+ who is convicted in the courts hereafter con-
spring to advocate the overthrow Of this
Government by force and violence be treated
as having, by such act, renowned his allegi-
ance to the United States and forfeited his
United States citizenship"
Applause greeted the statment. that q.
we are deeply grateful that our sons no
longer die on the distant mountains of
Korea, and the later declaration that eve
shall continue military and economic aid to
the Nationalist Government of China"
Bursts of applause met the statements
that "Taxes have begun to go down" and
"The cost of our Government has been re-
duced and its work proceeds with some
$4,000 fewer employees ." There was
enthusiasm for the statement that defense
costs are going down as we near prepared
ness goals, 'yet we are militarily stronger
every day."
Again there was applause when, speak
ing of foreign assistance and trade, the
President said: Military assistance must
be continued. Technical assistance must be
maintained. Economic assistance can be
reduced"
The section of the address on health,
education and welfare was received quite
calmly, as was the recommendation that
Congress pass the postal rate-increase bill
now in the House.
AS the Presidents succeeding and detailed
messages on the budget, the tariff, agricul-
ture, labor legislation, the economic report
and others go to Congress, we can better
judge the stature of this state-of-the-U Union
address
But, as of this date, it was the Presi-
dents most fortnight and inspiring speech
to date.
Milford chronicle., 1954-01-15

under United Nations auspices, as
proposed by the President, will
not be held tomorrow, or the day
after. Following two weeks of
insulting comment by Russian
press and radio, Premier Malenkov
crossed up his own mOuthpieces
and decided to accept the idea in
principle. Next, U. S. Ambassador
Charles BOhlen went up to the
Kremlin to make a New Years
call and ask Russian Foreign
Minister Molotov if his boss, Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dulles,
couldn't please talk to somebody
about arrangements for this fssiOn
expedition.
Sure" said Mr.. MOlotOv, 1--WE
are transplanting loosely from the
Russian) I'll send GeOrgi Zarubin
over to see him.
Thus, we now expect that Eat an
early date" Russian Ambassador
Zarubin (whO distinguished him
self by sitting on his hands while
President Eisenhower delivered his
address to COngress) will call on
the Secretary of State "tO exchange
views on prOcedural questions con-
corning the forthcoming CONVEX
sations on the question of atomic
energy"
We hope this talk about a talk
goes we'll and that the other
UN members agree with the
decisions of Messrs. Dulles and
Zarubin. Otherwise, we might have
to start all over again.
