FOR BOYS AND GIRLS
Vigorous Biography Casts
Spell Over Young Readers
Lawson.
BY BARBARA NOLEN

In his new biography Of
Abraham Lincoln for young
folk, Sterling North points out
that young Abe was much In
luenced by reading Parson
Weems' life of George Wash
ington. No matter that Par
son Weems was inaccurate and
that the virtuous fairytale Of
George and the cherry tree is
now an exploded myth. young
Abe read and reread the story
of our first President.
Today there is no need to
read distorted history, but boys
and girls still respond eagerly
to the powerful spell Of vigor-
Gus biography. They are just
as ready as young Abe to read
about courage and loyalty and
honesty IN stories Of real
people. They are excited, as
he was. by the raw material
of life. wrapped in an indi-
vidual human package.

In the old tradition Of

does not play with his victims
he runs them through. He
draws with the idea of draw

Washington Post and Times

toon as a morning stimulant

remember the dawn he labeled
Mrs. Hobby as the Secretary
Of Not Too Much Health,
Education and Welfare" or
when he showed Secretary Of
State Dulles rushing of to q
Paris conference leaving his
head on the desk.
1t Is an invigorating little
course In current-events, in
which the professor uses a
blow-torch to illuminate Ger
tain aspects Of the scene.

to say that those who dis

wish they could get him on

Jungle Railway
VIII Benefit
u. 5. Ports
BY ELMER ROEsSNER

The prosperity OF the Gulf
ports and, to a lesser extent. Of
the Atlantic ports will get q
permanent lift when a 468-mile
railroad now being driven
through the jungles Of Colombia
connects with Caribbean ports
Colombia, as fifth graders
know, touches the Pacific on the
west and the Caribbean on the
north. The Pacific and heart
land areas are separated from
the northern region by jungle.
This has tended to create two
economies.
1t is difficult and costly to get
goods from eastern United
States to Cali in the rich Cauca
Valley, Medellin. Barranca. b.
gotta and other central cities.
They can be flown in. They can
be taken through the Panama
Canal. down the Pacific Coast
and then overland east and
north. Or they can be landed at
Cartagena on the Caribbean
and taken south on the Magda-
lena River by stern-wheelers, a
voyage that takes, up to two
months. 4
The new railroad will connect
the central network of lines at
Puerto Salgar. rs miles north
west Of Bogota, with a short line
now running south from the
Caribbean port of Santa Marta,
"A truck highway will link the
railroad and the port of Baran-
quilla.
The benefits to United States
ports and exporters, however,
will be small compared with what
the railroad will do for the CO.
lombian economy. 1t will make
foreign goods cheaper to bring
in and will put Colombian prod
ucts much nearer foreign mar
kets. In addition, it will open
up a vast area to settlement and
production.
Colombia already is enjoying
a measure Of prosperity. In 1851
its foreign exchange laws were
liberalized to encourage foreign
investment. Today more than SO
American companies are operat-
ing there. including Colgate,
Armco, National Carbon, Con-
tainer Corp, American Viscose
and Goodyear. Four American
oil companies are operating and
the new railroad link may make
rich oil lands more readily Access
sible.
The railroad was started in
1858 and is now being pushed
ahead at about 8 miles a day,
The last spike probably will be
driven in 1858. The line follows
the Magdalena River for about
ESQ miles north of the river city
OF Puerto Salgar, then turns east
to avoid dangerous Swamps and
continues north to Fundacion,
the southern terminal of the
existing line from Santa Marta.

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Heov Losses Hit Bankers
On SYLVIA PoRTER

One Of the last things you
would accuse me Of, I suspect, Is
weeping tears for Wall Streets
great banking houses.
Today, while I'm not weeping
tears, / am extending q nand
in sincere sympathy to the in
vestment banking firms Of this
Iland-tfe financial houses which
bear names known the world
over and which negotiate, dis
tribute and sell to investors the
new and old securities OF the
United States Government, the
48 States, all our cities and
corporations.
These banking houses - the
giants, mediums and smalls -
have in recent months been
taking the worst licking Of
modern times.
Millions Of dollars of the huge
resources at their disposal have
been wiped out during this year
alone. The fat backiogs of cash
which they built up in the
profitable years following World
War II have been draStically
slashed in, the loss year of 1856.
Even the shrewdest bankers
in the world haven't been able
to escape the squeeze. Some
have made out better than
others but all have taken blows.
Gloom on Wall Street
If you had a chance to visit
THE banking firms nestled in the
canyons of downtown Manhat-
tan today, you'd see some mighty
grim faces.
There's no panic. But you
couldn't miss the gloom. the dis
couragement. AS one usually re-
served banker who has calmly
survived the ups and downs OF
the past quarter-century put it
to me the other day, Its a
blood bath"
AS another said, "There'll be
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-11-27

no Christmas cheer around here
this year. All well be celebrat-
ing is that the year. is over"
And as a third said candidly,
IF we have to take much more
of this. I don't know what will
happen. Some firms must be
staggering
Why? What's behind it?
Once again, ! come back to
those increasingly familiar and
significant words. tight money"
Credit Tightening Blamed
For as q result Of the Admins
tration- Federal Reserve policy
of fighting imitation by clamping
down on the supply of credit
and by letting interest rates rise,
prices Of all bonds have gone
down, down. down. Bond prices
always sink when interest rates
rise. Bonds carry fixed interest
coupons; as the rates on new
bonds rise. the bonds carrying
the lower coupons are worth less.
This has been an intensifying
trend throughout 1856.
Prices on United States Gov
eminent securities-best Of all
have dropped as much as and
q, points, sensational decline
for Government obligations,
Prices on highest-grade bonds of
States and cities are on average
at the lowest levels since Hitler
marched across Europe in Sep
TENDER, 1899, and sent the Sc
IcuritieS markets in this country
into a tailspin. Prices on corpo-
rate bonds have plunged 10, even
20 points.
The banking houses which
keep inventories Of bonds on
their shelves to meet the de-
mands Of investors--just as
stores keep inventories of goods
on their shelves to meet the
demands of customers-are now
carrying these securities at ter
rife losses and liquidating them
at losses.
Banking houses which have
negotiated new bond deals in
the past several months have
found that, in many cases. they
couldn't distribute the bonds at
the agreed upon price. They've
had to accept major markdowns
to move the observation-disclosures
which have absorbed their COM
missions and much more.
1t has gone on and on No
firm in any Of the bond markets
has been able to avoid the pinch.
AS result, more and more, the
houses are saying mo deal" to
those Wanting to have new
securities distributed. More and
more, the houses are concentrat-
ing just on avoiding risk of their
resources and getting through
this with money left in the kitty
Actually it's a tribute to the
soundness of the houses that
they've been able to withstand
the fierce pressure and there has
been no psychology Of panic, no
calamity. For Wall Streets
banking firms aren't enjoying
tight money any, more than
Main Streets home builders.
