the view from their window was

since their house rented for one
thousand dollars a month to sum-

doesn't living in a New England

Really our pick would be West

There is housing on the base there,

facts-of-life that-for no good rea-
son-have been pretty we'll hidden
from the people who scrape to-
gether these millions.
Fact number one, overhaul of
procurement methods and i'm
proved contact and coordination
with contractors and subcontrac-
tors have steadied the flow of
defense requirements, given the
military better control of their
manifold projects. These advances.
together with the management
genius of the manufacturer, are
giving the taxpayer better run
for his money than he has ever
had before.
No better example of money S
worth can be found than our fight
ing planes. Despite imitation, la
Dor and material cost increases and
the greater size and complexity of
modern aircraft, this industry to-
day produces more airframe
pounds per man hour than during
World War IL, we are assured by
the Aircraft Industries Association.
Or putting it another way: "Ex-
Guiding imitation, the aircraft in
dustry produces a medium jet
bomber at less cost per airframe
pound than a heavy piston bomb
er built during World War H."
AS everyone knows. the price tag
on today's fighting planes is many
times that of their ten-year-old
forebearers. But they are built to
fight in an environment of soaring
heat from air friction at sonic or
supersonic speeds, atomic weapons
and tremendous attitudes, condi-
tions but dimly perceived in the
last decade. "A single jet bomber
armed with the latest weapons, "
says AIAa has greater destructive
capability than all of the bombs
dropped by U. S. aircraft in World
War l, World War IL and the
Korean War"
In spite of wage increases of
approximately 100 per cent across
the board, and today's need of
higher skills; in spite of a four
fold increase in engineering hours
required to develop planes now
flying; the genius of management
has actually reduced since World
War III, the percentage of labor and
overhead represented in the total
cost of some types.
"The salient fact in minimizing
the cost of aircraft" says ALA, 'is
the intense competition that gov
erns the industry. In commercial
aircraft production, where u: S.
Manufacturers compete with all
other nations. the world airlines
show an overwhelming preference
for U. S. Quilt aircraft More than

"Vig0r0us"-But For Whom!
A smiling Senator William F.
KnowIand, chosen by the Senator
ial delegation visiting President
Eisenhower at his Gettysburg farm
to give newsmen the word they
had been awaiting-that Ike will
run again-predicted "a vigorous,
active campaign under his leader
ship" Forty-eight hours later-in
the same precincts, COP Chairman
Len Hall echoed the vigorous
campaign promise and said the
President would fly to half doz-
en- points around the country for
major television speeches.
hoa aIx ~, -
White House, President Eisenhower
will fly to Panama to attend the
postponed meeting of Latin Ameri-
can chiefs of state, and next month
will fly out to San Francisco to
accept the Republican Convention s
presidential nomina.ion-at the
suggestion of Senator Charles A.
Halleck, of Indiana.
Asked at Gettysburg about the
Presidents running mate, Mr.. Hall
said: 81 think it's Eisenhower and
Nixon-that's it." And, as it looks
from here, it had better be if this
vigorous" campaign is to become
a reality The Presidents role in
the prediction weeks will be
just about what it was planned to
be last Marcia few nationwide
television appearances beginning
in mid-September. Thus it may be
that the dump Nixon" efforts
begged down through the inability
of his opponents to find man
who could-or would-carry the
campaign burden, and who posses
ses something comparable to the
Nixon stamina, fighting spirit and
directness of approach.
Mr.. Hall expects, of course, "a
bigger victory than 1882" but added
as well he might-that the COPS
worst enemy is complacency."

BABSON DISCUSSES COMMODITY PRICES

cycles. | have proved to my own
satisfaction that individual COM
modify prices, as we'll as groups,
follow distinc.-though not regular
periodic fluctuations. OF course,
one must distinguish clearly be-
tween the major cyclicai or long
swing movement and the minor or
shorter-swing movement. When
both trends are in the same direc-
tion, the price movement is accen-
tuated Otherwise-as in recent
years-prices tend to hold fairly
steady or to move in the direction
of the stronger trend. In order to
gauge properly the movement of
prices, you must consider both the
major and the minor trends.
Commodity experts who now fol-
low the various commodity markets
more closely than | do believe that
the major trend in commodity prices
continues upward They forecast a
higher average of commodity prices
before this present major cycle has
been completed, but they empha-
size that Interruptions, to this up
ward trend are impossible. Also,
they tell me that there will be in
dividual commodities which VIII
move contrary to the underlying
trend Hence it is absolutely neces-
especially in these uncertain
times-to analyze each commodity
separately. / forecast that failure
to do so may prove costly, for the
next minor movement in COM
modify prices will be downward

sooner than today seems possible.

Social Security News

In its report ON the social Sc
curity amendments of 1856 the
Committee on Finance of the U. S.
Senate describes old-age and sur
vivors insurance as program de
signed to provide partial protection
against loss of earned income upon
the retirement or death of the
worker
The word partial" in this de-
scription is significant. This earn
ings-related social insurance pro-
gram is not intended to offset in
whole the loss of wages or self
employment caused by the family
breadwinner's old-age or death. 1t
does, however, provide continu-
ing income, and with this assur-
ance, individuals can plan to build
up additional security through pri-
vate arrangements and savings. For
example, a worker, knowing that
the earnings credited te his social
security account will entitle his
dependents to a monthly income in
case of his death, can better plan
to supplement this with private life
insurance protection for his wife
and children. Also, worker, fore
armed with the knowledge that he
will get regular monthly retire
ment payments in his old age, is in
better position to plan additional
income in his later years through
savings and investments during his
working years.
While social security insurance
payments are curtailed or withheld
entirely if beneficiary returns to
or continues in employment or self
employment, peyme ents are not af-
fecsed by income derived from in
vestmenis or s9nngs or company
pensions. A beneficiary, moreover,
is permitted to engage in part-time
work and have earnings OF as much
as $1,000 in year without giving
up any of the monthly payments to
which he is eligible under old-age
and survivors insurance. Ii he
works in all months of the year
and has total annual earnings in
/ excess of that amount, he will for
felt one or more months benefit
payments If he works only in
certain months of the year, he
gives up social security benefits for
Just those months in which he
earns over $50 in wages or in
which he renders substantial serv-
ices in self-employment enter
prise. In no case, however, will he
forfeit a payment for month in
which he does not earn over $50
in wages or render substantial SER
vice in his business regardless of
what he may earn in other months
of the year.
Benefits paid under the old-age
and survivors insurance program
are not only source of support for.
the worker and his family but also
stabilizing influence on the econ
omy of the country as a whole.
They affect every community in
the country because the benefits
paid monthly under this system go
to persons who cannot at the time
they receive them earn the means
to buy the goods and services they
need to have and the community
needs to sell.
You can secure further infor-

ors insurance by visiting or writ

Babson Park, Mass, July 19. The
whole world has beer upset eco
nomically and politically by World
War II and it's aftermath. In the
midst of our own long postwar
boom-only recently showing signs
of decline-it is hard to believe
there are many areas where seri-
Gus losses and widespread suffer
ing have resulted. Prices here have
been so stable that we have for
gotten the Importance of commod-
ity market trends.
Prices Should Be Watched Closely
For more than fifty years, | have
been keeping tabs on commodity
price swings. The Babson Organi-
zation has been publishing a Busi-
ness Inventory Commodity Price
Forecast over this long period, pri-
marily because | believe that a
knowledge of month-to-month de-
valopments in the major cash com
modify markets will benefit all
businessmen. Commodity prices
should be watched closely, especial
ly in these uncertain times.
The so-called "0uilt-ini stabili-
zers' of our post-depression Ameri-
can economy have helped us for
get the basic principle that the
price of each commodity is finally
determined by the supply relative
TO the effective demand. A sur
plus of a commodity brings lower
prices and vice versa. The many
attempts of governments and indi-
vlduals to control prices have all
ended disastrously.
Swings In Prices
Years of study have shown that
commodity prices move in definite
Milford chronicle., 1956-07-20

that there are comparatively few
questions on commodities. Most
people are interested only in in
dividual securities or groups of
securities. They simply do not
realize that supply-demand trends
and prices in the commodity mar
kets determine, to considerable ex-
tent, the return they get on their
stocks.

aYTightier Than The Swordc

In recognition of his one man
crusade against Communism, Rev.
Oswald Blumits Russianborn
Baptist minister now living in
Wollastonb Mass, receives the 1856
Crossroads Award for Ministry of
Service to God and Man.
The award will be presented to
Dr. Blumit by Herbert A. Philbrick,
whose photographed book. Il
Led Three Lives" has alerted mil
lions of Americans to the reality,
the deviousness and the peril of
Communist activities in our own
country. The ceremony takes place
in a Manchester, N. H. television
station when dramatization of DR..
Blumit's adventures in smuggling
faith across the Soviet border is
presented to the nation in the now
famous Crossroads television series.
The weapon with which DR..
Blumit fought soul-crippling Com
munism was the printing press
set up in a shop in the very
shadow of the Iron Curtain, and in
which he turned out copies of the
Holy Bible. The next, and fer more
dangerous phase in his dedicated
mission was to actually transport
his contraband into the benighted
land where the Word of God has
been denied and forbidden for forty
years. Execution of his daring plan
was complicated by an eager but
| faithless young lady who asked to
help, by mishaps and bloodshed. as
the television play depicts-but the
BIlles got through.
Americans are indebted for this
inspiring series of factual drama
tizations from the lives of clergy
men to the Chevrolet dealers of the
nation, and to the Crossroads Com
mittee composed of Protestant
minister, Captain NJ M. Wither-
spoon. retired Navy chaplain; a
Catholic priest. Father George B.

liam F. Rosenbloom. We are fur
ther indebted to these gentlemen

DR.. Blumit's adventure-in-faith for

Dear Friends:
We Just made a rather unsuc-
cesssul "trip to the base. We have
had ninety degree weather every
single day for as long as / can
remember and each day that we
can, we go to the pool at the base.
This afternoon when we were real
ly all primed for a nice long SWIM,
we got near the pool and regret
fully discovered today was the day
for the pools weekly securing.
These sanitary efforts We apprecl-
ate, but IN uTlat heat you hardly can
spare one day every week.
Almost all homes out here are
air conditioned Really we are IN
thes minority by not owning one.
Even though we are in the AIR
Force, installing an air conditioner
in a rented home involves carpen-
ter work to a designated window
and removing same when one
moves. In this heat the work is
infinitsimal when one thinks of the
four months of Kansas heat one
escapes. We keep hoping that Wen
escape the heat out here in the
midwest, but we want to escape
it by being transferred to another
SAC base, preferably in New Eng
land.
Now that the status of our hous-
ing here in Topeka is so uncertain,
and now that we have lived here
for three whole years, we are real
ly anxious for Uncle Sam to tell
US to move on. Many people from
here have been sent to Limestone,
Maine, A. F. B., which is located
six miles northwest of Limestone,
which is about IL miles north of
Caribou, Maine and that is about
the history of that Air Base. If
your husband likes hunting and
fishing and you like bridge, Lime
stone is a good assignment. It's
very remote, very picturesque and
very cold summer and winter.

The best way to Judge the scope of the

the average is one day in four.
