Mass Investment Needed

The presidents Of the Nations two lead
Ing security markets-the New York Stock
Exchange and the American Stock Exchange
have opened the Senate Banking Commit
tee study Of security trading with some
reassuring testimony about the present high
level of market prices. In substance, they
do not consider the averages dangerously
high even though some of the indices have
passed the record peaks of 1929. Even more
persuasive than their opinions, however,
are some of the statistics cited to support
them.
For example, G. Keith Funston, head of
the New York Exchange, offered the follow
ing: C) Measured in adjusted dollars, the
national economy has doubled between 1929
and 1855 while stock prices have risen by
only SO per cent (2) dollar volume Of daily
transactions on the exchange is only about
20 per cent of the 1929 average and borrow
ing for. stock purchases shows about the
same relationship; (3) the price VS.. earnings
ratio, yardstick often used in evaluating
common stocks, is favorable; az stock
yields are averaging 4.3 per cent as against
3.3 per cent in the earlier boom year.
Edward T, Mccormick, head of the American
Exchange offers an additional comparison,
namely, that the companies used for figuring
the industrial stock index show substan-
TALLY higher earnings for the last full year
than for 1929. Each of these comparisons
tends to show, in other words, that the
average security prices have not reached
the top-heavy point which preceded the
market break in 1929
Neither of these two spokesman, of
course, was pleading for a continued rise
in stock prices. But Mr.. Funston pointed
out that the investment needs of our grow
Ing economy far outstrip the ability of
upper-income families and institutions.
The investment of savings Of millions of
Americans will be needed. "To the two
miracles of mass production and mass con-
sumption which have done so much for
our country" he said, I'VE must add third;
mass investment"
This Of course is one point Of view.
Others will be heard as the hearing goes
forward.

Man With Plan

Pedestrian safety in the city is a
serious matter. and I invite reflection
on the following plan. Let us call it the
Midway Plan.
Allow pedestrians to cross city
street only in the middle of the block
This crossing will be controlled by
standard red-green stop signal. Vehic-
ular traffic at the corner intersections
will still be controlled by standard red
green stop signals as before, possibly
timed to the midway lights.
Advantages: A person crossing a
street need only look to the right and to
the left to see that vehicles have
properly observed the stop signal and
have stopped. He is not embarrassed in
looking ahead and behind as we'll as to
the right and to the left. as is the pre-
sent case. to see that he is not about 10
be run over. BY law vehicle is sup
posed to give way to the pedestrian, but
this law is broken more often than it is
obeyed.

he gives as his deliberate judgment:
THE most eroding ingredient of in

The binding blot! What an accurate
and felicitous designation that is! Fear

that. gazed at with clear eyes, are full
of hope, rather than alarm. With this
habitation so full of enticing potential
tiles, mankind seems obsessed with the
ugly blot splitting its inky shadows
across the shuddering earth. In abject
fear, amid all his skyscrapers and
gadgets, man whispers in fearful tones
about lethal bombs and the deadly
"fallout." We are realizing more and
more how profound was the assurance
uttered in dire economic crisis, by
man who had just been sworn in as
President of the United States: 1.-The
only thing we have to fear is fear
ITSELF" That brave assertion pointed
to the only escape which opened out
of quaking fear into the realm Of stead
fast confidence. And the name of that
door is Faith.
Fear not only blinds: it poisons and
paralyzes. It magnifies and exag-
gerates Some years ago. Basil King
wrote a book on 1.-THE Conquest Of
Fear" In the preface of that volume
are these words: I'm one form or an
other, fear dogs every one of us, the
mother afraid for her children, the
father afraid for his. business, the
clerk afraid for his job. Hardly
man who is not afraid that some other
man will do him bad turn. Hardly
a woman who is not afraid that what
she Graves may be denied her. or that
what she loves may be snatched away.
But all these are individual fears. We
are thinking now of the almost uni
versal fear which clutches at the heart
of modern man as he cringes and
crouches behind his towering inyen-
lions. AS a keen. modern thinker puts
it: western civilization seems intent
on looking furtively around. listening
behind it for the silent tread of some
dread specter of destruction" So
many Of the words of that sentence
describing our time indicate a lurking
fear, looking furtively around-listen-
ing for the silent tread-some dread
specter-destruction
Now the almost unbelievable thing
is that binding fear blots so much of
modern thinking and acting at the very
time when science has done to death

Bouquet for CutuduI


have been daily reader Of your
great newspaper for several years.
Among my priced possessions are three
original cartoons from your famed car
toonists. One from the late C. K. Berry,
man, one from his son Jim" and the
other from Mr.. Crockett. I had the
pleasure of meeting these great car
toonists. For the past year I have been
reading with considerable interest the
daily feature, Our Presidents" by
Honore M. Catudal. Some time ago
met Mr.. Catudal and we had dinner
together. found him to be student
of history, deeply interested in the
Presidents and the history of our Ma
ton. I note that he has been listed
in Who's Who in America for several
years. and his latest bid for fame is
having won an award for his series in
the recent Freedoms Foundation con-
test held at Valley Forge. Pa.
I consider this daily feature very
valuable, especially to school students,
and to an older generation who desire
to sharpen up on their history. Long
may it continue to appear. I wish to
congratulate your paper for publishing
1t; also my congratulations to Mr.. Catu-
dial for this informative feature, which
am sure is read by many subscribers
daily. would like to see it published in
book form.

Automotion-Good or Bad?

United States Steel Chairman Benjamin
F. FairlesS and CLIO President Walter
Reuther are in disagreement over the I'M
pact of "automation" on employment in
American industry.
Mr.. Reuther recently told a congress
sional committee that between Is million
and 35 million new jobs must be created
annually to offset unemployment stemming
from chronological advances, such as auto
nation, in industry. Mr.. FairleSs, without
mentioning Mr.. Reuther by name, told
Chamber Of Commerce audience recently
that the attacks upon automat1on amount
to miserable fraud" and he produced
some convincing statistics to support his
case.
For example, in the automobile industry
where automation has grown most vigor-
ously-employment has doubled in the past
IA years. In the overall field of manufac-
turing it has increased by 70 per cent. Be-
tween 1910 and 1850, the number of tele-
phone operators increased by 70 per cent
despite widespread installation of automatic
dia1ing systems. Meanwhile, the population
increased between 1889 and 1858 by only
% per cent.
1t is true that chronological advances,
including attenuation, have cut down job
requirements in certain categories. This
has been the case since invention Of the
wheel made 1t easier to draw cart. But
it is true, also, that the building Of the ma
chimes themselves, plus their installation,
operation and maintenance, creates new
and different jobs. And 1t Is true, further
more, that the increased productivity-in
addition to its other effects-has helped the
working population to shorter working
weeks, higher wages and other improve
ments in their standard of living.
Perhaps, as Mr. Reuther suggests, 1T
would be useful for Congress at least to
study the impact Of automation on our
industrial structure. In looking back
through the history Of chronological ad-
vances in American industry, however, 1T
might also be informative to recall COM
ment made by CLIO President Murray, Mr.
Reuthers predecessor, before<a union con-
vention in 1851. II do not know of a single,
solitary instance" Mr.. Murray said, where
a great chronological gain which has taken
place In the United States of America has
actually thrown people out Of work. do
not know Of tt am not aware of it-be-
cause the industrial revolution that has
taken place in the United States In the past
Is years has brought into the employment

for it is not concerned with ends, but
only with processes.
Science says, We shall receive power.
But with that power a field can be
fortified or a city pulverized. A great
church leader has put his finger on the
cause of today's corroding fear: I'VE

nomena, a generation which has lost
God and a whole dimension Of life

What are some of the accompanying
symptoms of this scared generation?
Look at the list: A steadily increasing
crime wave. coarsening of manners.
an orgy Of gambling, debauching OF
morals, lowering of common courtesy
and decency, a debasing of sex as men
and women rush from mate to mate in
unabaShed abandon. What does it all
spell out? What does this binding blot
mean? Our technical skill has gone
thousands of miles beyond our moral
capital to Withstand the strain. Per-
sonal integrity has sagged. Secularism,
which is the lack of faith in spiritual
verities, is draining the moral strength
of the West.
Do not let us be deceived because
avowed unbelieverS are few these days.
Vital beliefs are revealed not by formali-
ties, but by priorities, by the things We
put first, by the way we live, by the God
we really worship. The one way to
keep our nerve and to keep from open
ing the f1ood-gates to disaster too
terrible to contemplate is to do some
thing our generation, with all its glamour
and glitter, is really not doing. in spite
of all church statistics might suggest.
If America is to lead the world out of
fear, it must Fundamentally and crea-
lively believe in God-the God who is
revealed in Jesus.

dark betrayal night when the shadow
of the gallows fell across Him. and that
little, fearful band whose successors
today, increasing millions of them
under all skies, witness to the good
news" that alone can save the earth
from utter catastrophe. do not be
afraid. Ye believe in God. believe also
in me-"
This is the only defense against the
atomic bomb Woodrow Wilson went
to the very heart of the matter when
he declared: Our civilization cannot
be redeemed materially until it is re-
deemed spiritually. 1t must be imbued
with the spirit of Jesus Christ" A
spiritual revival breaking out with sur
passing power in America would influ-
ence the entire world, for it would exert
force infinitely greater than that Of
atomic energy. That is our best hope.
That alone will let the waiting sunshine
of good will dispel the binding blot
of fear.

Dogs Life
Citizen.

Arlington County is again consider
ing legislation for the combining of dogs
Since comparatively few people have
fenced yards, such law would in
evitably lead to the dogs being chained
Keeping a dog on chain is not only
cruel, but a most unwise thing to
do as claiming invariably makes an
otherwise good-tempered dog savage.
Having worked for years with animals,
I have found this to be the case.
Another point to be considered is
that almost always when a child is
bitten by dog, it is by chained one
and not by one running free. This"ts
because the chained animal is natu-
rally irritable at confinement, and If
leased or struck at by child has only
one comeback-to bite. A free dog

Frances Troubles

In your recent editorial on France,
you state that the multiparty system is
mainly responsible for the chaos and
instability of French governments.
This naturally does not make for
such facile system as is found in the
United States or in England. although
theoretically it is more democratic.
However, would you not agree that the
most glaring anomaly of the French
political system is that when the Pre-
mier and his cabinet fall the Assembly
and Chamber remain intact? This is
the real reason why the English Prime
Minister rarely fails to win vote of
confidence. William w. TOpOlsky.

Local Car Operation
Costs Millions For
3,4OO Automobiles
Survey ReveoIs Thot
Huge Sum Is Spent BY
Countiuns On TYdvei

With residents Of Noble county
buying cars at record rate, the
question arises How much does
1t cost to make the mare COZ"
Data on car operation and
maintenance costs, presented by
the American Automobile AS
sociation for various parts of the
country, show that the typical
driver, who owns medium
priced car and travels the aver
aged 10000 miles year, spends
1852.
With these average conditions
applying locally, and with a
passenger car registration of
3,4O0 in the past year, the car
owners in Noble county spent
$3,240,000 on the mare.
Broken down into its compon-
ent parts, the largest fixed cost
per car is for depreciation, $477
a year. The next largest is
insurance, which is somewhat
variable but which averages $104.
1t includes property damage of
5000, liability of $4,000 and
fire and theft.
All boiled down, it shows that
the average driver must pay
some 5000 year in fixed charges
whether or not he uses his car.
In other words, $165 a day.
And, if he carries $50 or $l0O
| deductible collision insurance,
which many do, his per diem
costs are 20 cents or 10 cents
| higher, respectively.
The variable costs for gas,
Oil, tires and maintenance, in
Guiding S25 in repairs a year -,
! come to 3.5 cents a mile.
Applying the AAA data locally
drivers in Noble county who &C
10000 miles spent 1882 a year
or 9.5 cents mile.
Those who use their cars tC
twice that extent pay less on q
mileage basis. To their fixed
charges of $500 are added operat.
ing costs of $500. The total
amounts to only 6.5 cents mile
Less efficient is operation al
5000 miles year. Weighed
down with the same high fixed
charges, it brings the cost up tc
15.5 cents a mile.
Increased auto travel locally
has benefited the Noble county
