HOW | TALKED
Myself into
$4,000
BY q Wall Street Journal
Subscriber

In meetings with business associ-
ates and customers / used to be
the silent one. used to "clam up"
when the talk turned to politics or
economics. All / could talk about
was sports.
Then started reading The Wall
Street Journal. It gave me an un-
derstanding Of what goes on in the
world. I learned about the changes
taking place in America--new in
ventions, new industries, new ways
to earn money. In conversations
with other men I found l could in
terpret business and government
trends a little better than they
could. They wondered where I got
my "inside dope"
As a result, gained confidence
in talking with people. My boss
gave me more important assign
ments. And my income increased.
Last year l earned $4,000.
This story is typical. If you
think The Wall Street Journal is
just for millionaires, you are
wrong. The Journal helps salaried
men making $1,000 to $4,000 a
year. 1t is valuable to small BUSH
nessmen. 1t can be of enormous
benefit to the ambitious young man
who wants to win advancement.
The Wall Street Journal is the
complete business DAILY. Has
largest staff of writer's on business
and finance. The only business pa
per served by all four big press
associations. 1t costs $40 year,

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Brains, Not Billions, Needed
BY SYLVIA PORTER

We would quadruple our for
e1gn aid spending-make many
four times more
livid than they already are over
the magnitude Of our proposed
foreign aid budget-and still we
could easily lose the new battle
of the cold war.
For what is needed surely as
much as billions is this newest
phase of the struggle between
the United States and Russia
a phase which is predominantly
economic and political and only
secondarily military--is brains.
At this moment, we are show
ing frightening signs of again
overemphasizing the billions,
underemphasizing the brains.
The Eisenhower administra-
ton obviously has startled both
Republicans and Democrats with
its decision to ask a foreign aid
appropriation Of about SIS bill
lion next year-up almost 100
per cent from this years APP
preparation and the largest re-
quest in four years.
Policy Reversal
Despite officials denials, it's
clearly a major policy reversal.
Only a month ago, administra-
ton spokesman actually were
talking of sharp cuts, particu-
larry in foreign economic aid.
Despite official denials, It's
also clearly tied in with the
smashing success that Russia S

ganin and Khrushchev - had
during their just completed.
month-long tour of the crucial
lands of Asia. Until nearly the
end of that tour, our Govern
ment scoffed at the impact of
the Russian leaders selling Job.
Why, to get to the heart of
the matter. was the tour of the
Russians so triumphant? Here,
I submit, are four reasons why:
/. Because what Russia is
offering the neutral" lands of
Asia is the bait Of real trade
agreements-and any producer
anywhere would rather have a
market in which to sell his
goods than a dole. AS for get
ting paid-well. payment comes
later. and in most cases hard
money isn't involved. Intricate
barter and compensation deals
do the trick.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-The
stock market approached the
end of the year this week with
considerable spirit and gave
high hopes that 1855 would bow
out with a vigorous rally.
Usually there is strong mar
ket in the final days of the year.
One reason is selling to estab-
lish profits and losses for tax
purposes. A stakeholder with a
profit can register 1t for 1855 by
selling any time before the last
four trading days Of the year.
It takes four days to deliver a
stock under the rules Of the New

Mr.. Ashton said drivers and
walkers must share the blame for
the heavy Christmas traffic toll.
Both groups are likely to let down
their traffic guard because of hol-
day preoccupation, he said. But
he pointed out that carelessness
is deadly at this time of year,
when streets may be slippery and
visibility poor. He urged drivers
and walkers to realize the dangers
they face in traffic and to increase
their vigilance to cope with these
hazards.
He advised drivers to have their
cars checked for safe winter driv-
ing, to always drive at speeds
that are safe for conditions, and
to watch out for walkers. He
urged them to protect walkers
even when the walkers are guilty
of unsafe behavior.
He reminded walkers that they
also have responsibilities in traf-
fic. 1t is up to them, he said, to
do all they can to stay safe them
selves and to see that no needless
act of their precipitates an acci-
dent in which others are injured
or killed.
