Boom Or Bust
Philosophy
Is Rejected
BY MERRIMAN SMITH
UP White House Writer

WASHINGTON R = Pres
ident Eisenhower gave the
American people his assur-
ance Monday night that the
government will use "every
legitimate means" to SuS-
tain the nations prosperity
against any threat of receS-
sion or depression.
But he voiced a persistent and
reasoned faith" in the basic sound
ness of the economy and sternly
rebuked the "self-appointed ped
dlers of gloom and DOOM"
Mr.. Eisenhower launched his
sharp counterattack against boom
and bust" fears Monday night in
nationwide radio-television report
on his administrators accomplish
ments and plans on the eve of the
second session of the 83rd Cona
greSS.
DEMOCRATS APPLAUD
Democrats generally applauded
his pledge to act promptly in case
of a recession. They asserted, how
ever, that his plan of action Is
borrowed from the Democrats. Some
suggested that he should start NOV
ing now since recession is al.
ready here.
1T is very good to know" said
Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon
johnson of Texas, that the admin
istration has adopted what has all
ways been a basic feature of DEM
ocratic policy-the belief that our
people need not suffer from a boom
and bust America"
Republicans warmly praised the
address and predicted that the
principles the President outlined
would be followed by specific rec
concentrations which Americans
would approve.
CHANGING CONDITIONS
Mr.. Eisenhower acknowledged
that changing circumstances" -
including the end of the Korean
War and declining defense produc-
tion-require economic adjustments.
But he said these can be made
without encouraging disaster or
without bringing about the econ-
omic chaos for which the Com
muniStS hope"
He did not spell out the 'legi-
innate" means he would employ to
meet a recession threat. But he
did say the administration would
not be indifferent to those in adj
versity through no fault of their
own"
And it is known that the gov
ernment is prepared, if necessary,
to alter its monetary policies, ease
credit, place more orders for goods,
and to- take similar measures to
pump new life into the economy
if it shows signs of sagging.
Mr.. Eisenhower did not give the
public detailed preview of his
Jan. Z State of the Union message
in which he will make his legisla-
tive recommendations
Describing the administration
plans for 1854, the President said:

On the Air
a Critic Of Spike Jones, ST.,
I hats What Spike, u, IS
BY Harry Macarthur

Spike Jones staged a special
matinee Saturday at the Casino
Royal for those of his television
fans not yet old enough to waste
their substance on the night life.
A fine time was had by all, on
both sides of the footlights. Even
MIR. Jones. who usually stands
dead-pan chewing gum in the
midst of the pandemonium.
grinned through it all at the re-
action Of his young admirers.
The largest laugh Of the after
noon, in fact. was provided of
rather than on stage. It was
enjoyed by those in the immedi-
ate vicinity Of Spike Jones, IT,.
LACED 5, attending with his q
year-old sister, Leslie.
Spike, jr.. clearly is a young
man with a mind of his own. He
also is obviously critic, as d.
rect in his approach as any his
father has ever faced. When
Spike, ST., and the City Slickers
burst into a dangerous rendition
Of Love in Bloom" or whatever
it was, the reaction of Spike, jr.,
was immediate and to the point.
He rammed his left forefinger
in his left ear and his right
foref1nger in his right ear--right
there before Pop and every
body.
It was. as you can imagine,
quite a shock, but Spike, jr.,
eventually took the edge of Of
it. He eventually removed
fingers from ears and took to
leading the band from his seat
in the audience. He obviously
knew what he was doing, too. 1t
was sufficient evidence that he
may follow in his fathers foot
steps by becoming a bandleader.
Unless he toughens up his ear
drums and gets used to the
noise, however, he won't take
over the old mans store. He'll
be coming around about 1872.
