Burgess Tells
OF Pressure
For Initiation

Undersecretary Of the Treas
ury w. Randolph Burgess re-
ported yesterday that "infia.
tionary pressures are unrelent-
ing and powerful" in the United
States but are being fought
with considerable success" here
and in other countries.
Mr.. Burgess. representing Sec
rotary Of the Treasury Hum-
phrey in the board Of governors
of the Donation International
Monetary Fund, said the world
wide inflationary trend results
from rapid gains in production
and employment, coupled with
the fact that investment is
running ahead of savings.
The United States, he said, Is
walking a narrow path, not
without care and anxiety" in
trying to keep money and credit
tight enough to restrain prices
but not so tight as to damage
economic growth.
1T is therefore not surprising
that some critics insist that
monetary controls are too se-
we're, while others are pointing
to a rise in the cost of living
as evidence that imitation is
slipping out from under re-
straint," Mr.. Burgess added.
What has to be said in reply
to the critics on both sides is
that the search for balance Ii
continuous but, by the very ma
ture Of things, cannot be 100
per cent successful"

IWoIfson Moves
|TOCut Holdings
In Two Fields

Indications were noted today
that Louis E Wolfson. whose A.
nancial empire once included the
old Capital Transit Co., is cutting
back his interest at least in the
construction and department
store fields.
1t has been generally known
the 43-year-old financier has
been selling his stock in Mont
gomery Ward g. Co with the in
tention Of getting out completely
by years end.
Mr.. Wolfson acquired $4,000
shares Of Ward stock in his losing
battle to gain control Of the
company. One source figured he
will profit $750,0OO by selling the
stock at present value.
Mr.. Wolfson was quoted as
wishing to use these funds for his
Town company. or special situa-
TONS"
Other indications were that he
has found himself wrapped up
in more contracting and con-
Istruction business than he in
tended. and is dropping some
of the subsidiaries of one of his
main enterprises, Merritt Chap
man & Scott Corp.
Recently Mr.. Wolfson sold

Icipal steel division of MC&S.

Net income of Safeway Stores
Inc, jumped to $16.462,979 in sc

pared with 1897, O23 in the same
period last year, the company re-
ported today.
The net was equal to IL cents
for each dollar of sales. Both
sales and earnings thus far in
1856 are the highest in Sideways
history.
After deducting preferred
stock dividends of $1,417,038, the
latest earnings amounted to
$4.18 a common share on $685.

could get all he asks freely and
cheaply, the result would be
more money would be chasing
the same supply of goods and
manpower. And zing!-all that
would do is push prices up even
faster.
"The fact that price increases
have been as moderate as they
have been can be traced to this
policy of restricting credit, If
money were as easy and cheap
as people want. we would be just
feeding imitation. The least we
can do is not feed inf1ation!"
Fighting initiation through
control Of the money supply is
in the orthodox tradition. Clas-
steal economists always have
maintained that if a boom is not
to get out of hand and lead to
a bust, the boom itself must be
held to a pace that can be sus-
tanned.
Best Judgment Used
But couldn't you be wrong
about the supply Of materials
and manpower?" I have asked.
Isn't it dangerous to try to curb
the economy at this stage?"
Their answer: Policy is based on
our best judgment Of the eco
nomic outlook and the best BUSH
ness statistics available.
Doesn't this squeeze the
smaller businessman and
borrower most, thus itensify the
trend toward giantism in indus
try?," Their answer: If a squeeze
is to work. it must squeeze some
one. Far better that a few be
hurt than that the entire econo-
my take OF on a speculative
hinge.
Doesn't the fact that prices
are going up anyway indicate
the policy isn't being effective
and isn't it q fact that higher
borrowing costs are helping to
raise prices?" Their answer:
Prices would be up much more
If this weapon were not being
used. II allowed to work, money
can curb imitation.
isn't the administration risk
ing political disaster by pursuing
a policy that is pfnching so many
voters?" Their answer: The risk
must be taken. While some Of
f1cials may disagree with the
timing and aggresSiveness Of the
Federal Reserve Systems clamp
down on credit, they don't dis
agree with the direction Of
policy"
And there it Is, straight-so|
you may Judge whether the argu-l
ment for tight money has the
validity claimed for it. X

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Tight Money'-Its Aims
~ SYLVIA PORTER

Where would prices be If
money weren't tight" today
If you were not being compelled
by market forces and Govern
ment policy to pay more when
you borrow, in many instances,
to accept a smaller loan than
you want and. in an increasing
number of cases, to go back to
your home or Office without any
loan at all?
Government authorities have
one answer to this crucial ques-
ton and it is:
prices would be higher, pos
sibly much higher"
Every policy : m aker I've
checked is emphasizing-and
they're almost passionate about
it-that you are not being given
"a true perspective on tight
money" They're insisting that
even folks like myself--who
really try to write a story
straight" and eliminate politics
from economics-have missed
the aim of their activities.
Okay, then, here it is, as
straight as 1 can write it.
The demand for loans is so
massive today that it strains
belief. Despite some weak spots,
this is a phase of general pros
Iperity and there is great con-
fidence that the long-term fu-
ture of the nation is one Of
glattering expansion.
AS a result. every type Of
borrower is seeking vast amounts
lof credit from banks and saw
iings institutions. investors tc
build new plants. put in new
equipment and finance homes
cars, schools, etc., etc.
/ Materials Limited
/ But--and this is a key but
the supply Of materials at thi:
time to go into all the planned
projects is limited.
For instance, although the
steel industry is operating al
capacity, every week there are
new reports OF shortages in key
forms Of steel.
! And the supply of manpoweI
ito handle the projects is limited

The banks balance sheet as
Of August 81 showed deposits
of SIS, 237.3O4, an increase of
$2.996.22S or 1875 per cent from
a year earlier. Loans of $12,-

30.3 per cent. Total resources
Of $27,l0l.9 1871 were up $685.

Stockholders were told that
cash and Federal Government
securities, principally of shorter
maturities. represent together 40
per cent of the banks entire
assets.
Capital funds of $1.642,9 on
August 81 were up $101,116 from
a year ago and represented a
book value of $410.73, compared
with $385.45 on the same 1855
date. These figures do not take
into account a transfer Of $780,
600 from undivided profits to
surplus on September 10.
Stockholders reelected all di-
rectors and election of officers
was scheduled at an organiza-
tional board meeting later in
the day.
Gross Earnings Reach
Record, but Net Dips
Gross operating earnings in
the calendar year 1855 were the
highest in the banks history, Mr..
Groom also reported.
Earnings before Federal taxes
amounted to $41.77 a share, COM
pared with $52.52 a share in the
previous year.
Net income was below the
previous year due principally to
expenses of a homecoming ma
ture related to the moving of
the main office. Mr.. Groom said
that taxes. including Federal
Deposit Insurance costs, con-
tinue to absorb a substantial
portion Of net earnings.
The banks three neighbour
hood branches turned in very
good results for the last year and
continued steady growth.
