trend toward business giantism
is to be controlled.
The Federal Reserve Board
has been courageously trying to
fight imitation by restricting
credit, and the administration
has been courageously insisting
the Reserve Board must be in
dependent to do this. But the
heavy and indiScriminate clamp
down on credit has hurt many
who should not be hurt. Tight
money" has slowed school build
ing, made it more expensive, and
yet school building is imperative.
Tight money has made construc-
ton of roads, hospitals, other
public projects more difficult and
expensive. and yet these public
projects are desperately needed.
This is just a short sampling.
We're still in a business boom,
but its duration cannot be taken
for granted. We're still thriving,
but the problems of small BUSH
ness, corporate giantism, rising
prices. tight money, towering
taxes cannot be ducked.
Here is economic reality, not
political fiction.

Nov Facts on Business
~ SYLVIA PORTER

Now the days Of distortion are
over. Today, again it is possible
to report the facts on the beat
I cover without squirming as
politicians seize the stories, mis-
interpret and twist them for
campaign advantage.
Every four years since / have
been reporting on the bread-and-
butter side of the news, / have
watched it happen in the pre-
election weeks - seen the ms
paint the economic pattern
brighter than it is. the outs paint
it darker than it is. Rarely is
the economic picture all black
or all white; most Of the time,
/ it is streaked with gray. But in
an election campaign. this reality
lis ignored.
Economy Is Mixed
There is no question that many
segments in the economy are
doing fine-retail sales are climb
ing, auto production is perking
up, the steel industry is roaring,
joblesSness is way down. But
there are weak spots. Housing
has slowed down considerably
and in many areas, builders are
in trouble. In the appliance field,
mergers and failures involving
companies whose products are
household names are becoming
painfully commonplace. Textile
manufacturers are still having a
rough time.
The average small farmer re-
mains on the outside, looking in
at the business boom. While
the decline in farmers income
has leveled of. an improvement
hasn't yet set in. The only rea-
son the farm income picture
isn't darker is that there are
fewer farms and fewer farmers
than before-so fewer are divid-
ing the income pie.
The rise in the cost of living.
when spread over the last four
years, has been impresSively
moderate. But the offSetting fact
is that most of the rise has been
concentrated during the past
several months. The price-wage
spiral continues. The ground
work already is being laid for
another rise in steel .prices-and
the impact of steel price rise
goes through the entire economy.
The upsurge in basic commodity
prices last week was highly dis
turbing. The millions of Ameri-
cans who are living on fixed in
comes are in a squeeze which is
getting worse.
Small Business Hurt
The small businessman isn't
being liquidated, but he GER
tainly is being badly pinched
and he must be helped If the

Interest Seeks 10
Ship Lines
By the Associated Press


Officials Of American Coal
Shipping. Inc. tACS) said today
they are negotiating for pur-
chase of the A. H. Bull & Co.,
known as the Bull Lines.
The ACS is a newly-formed
firm owned by the United Mine
Workers Union. several coal
carrying railroads and major
coal producing interests. 1t was
formed to carry American coal
to Europe and bring back ore
to this country.
ACS has obtained Govern
ment approval to charter 80
Liberty Ships and expects first
delivery of the vessels within a
few days. However the Govern
ment has limited return cargoes
for the vessels from Europe to
ore.
The Bull Line has a fleet of
is vessels, bulk cargo carriers
comparable to the Liberty Ships,
engaged in coastwise trade be-
tween New York and Baltimore
and the West Indies.
Shipping circles said acquisi-
ton of the Bull Lines would give
ACS vessels it could divert to
shipping coal to Europe with
out limit on return cargoes and
also help demonstrate to the.
shipping industry that ACS is
in business to stay. Most of the
industry had opposed charter
ing the Government-ownedl
Liberty Ships to ACS.

New Bank Firm
Plans 10 Control
SIS Billion

NEW YORK. Nov. 8 R.--
The First National City Bank of
New York and the County Trust
Co, Of suburban White Plains
are planning to form a bank
holding company that would be
the second largest banking insti-
tuition in the country.
II approved by the Federal
Reserve Board and the Control
Ter of the Currency, the holding
company would control resources
of about SIS billion. compared
with the $7,S50,OOo,OOO of the
Chase Manhattan Bank, cur
Irently the second largest. The
Bank of America is the Nations
biggest bank with about $9,67O,-
100000 in assets.
The plan. announced yester-
day, also would require approval
of stockholders of both the city
and suburban bank. First Ma
Itional City stockholders would
act at their annual meeting
January 8. 1857, and the County
Trust stockholders at a special
meeting at about the same time.
First National City, now the
third largest bank in the coun-
try. has rs branches in the city
and resources of 5000 900, 900.
Its affiliate, the City Bank
Farmers Trust Co.. has assets of
$l0l million. County Trust has
38 branches in Westchester
County, one Of the city's subur-
ban areas. and resources of
1918, 846, 900.
First National City and other
big New York banks, presently
are able to operate only in the
city banking district, one of nine
such districts established by New
York State banking law. The
holding company plan would en-
able First National City, and its
big competitors in the city, to
acquire branch banks anywhere
in the State.
Howard C. Shepherd, First
National City chairman of the
board, and Andrew Wilson, Coun-
ty Trust chairman, said the plan
was formed because Westchester
County, by reason of population
and business trends, has become
increasingly an integral part of
the natural trade and population
area of Metropolitan New York.
Thus the boundaries of New
York City," the two said in a
joint statement, have come to
represent an increasingly arbi-
Itrary and unnatural division of
IA trade and banking area. We
are convinced that banking serv-
ices can be most satisfactorily
and economically provided by in
situations with facilities cover
ing natural trade and population
areas"
The holding company plan was
made possible by the recently en-
acted Bank Hold Company Act.

News From Boy
Scout Troop 100

Boy Scout Troop 100 sponsored
by The Milford Lions Club en-
jOyed a wonderful camping trip
Friday and Saturday, after Thanks
giving. The official temperature has
dropped to 16, but according to one
scout with the wind driving off the
lake it was much colder. The cold
weather gave the Scouts the feel
ing of having learned lot in out
door cooking, sleeping and mainly
how cold weather camping can be
fun. If you don't dress for it
properly it can be bitter expert
ence. The purpose of the trip was
for training the newly chosen boy
leaders and to observe their ability
on such trip.
The 18' canoe was transported to
McColley's Pond which is on the
Canterbury Road between Milford
and Frederick about miles from
Milford by Mr.. Sharp and the
Scoutmaster on Thursday. Friday
morning the scouts left town for
camp at 10000 a. m. Care was
taken with the bedding and meals
which were planned to be over be-
fore darkness set in. The different
groups were very busy collecting
firewood as a fire was kept burn
ing all night. Only fallen wood was
used together with a bucksaw to
cut it, of which Buck Sullivan
proved very adapt.
