Explanation Given
on Amendments To
Be Voted on Tuesday

The Baltimore Sun on Tuesday
morning gave some editorial eX-
PLANTATION on the seven constitu-
tional amendments and also some
advice on how to vote on them.
These seven questions will APP
pear on the ballot next Tuesday
and many voters do not seem to
be aware of their significance. The
Sun is in favor of six amendments
and is opposed to one.
Here are the explanations and
recommendations of The Sun:
Question No. l. The county coun-
Gil of a county operating under
home rule Montgomery is the only
one that does so far is required
under the constitution to sit for
session of no more than one
month of consecutive days per year.
The proposed change would per-
NIT a county council to sit for a
maximum of As days per year and
allow the days to be spread out
over the year. The proposal would
give such a county fleXibility en-
tirely consistent with the home rule
principal. On question No. 1-vote
FOR.
Question No. 2. Without the APP
proval of two thirds of the men,
bership no bill may be introduced
at either a long or a short session
of the state legislature, during the
last ten days of the session. 1t is
proposed to retain the ten-day limit
at short sessions but extend the
limit to twenty days at the long
sessions. The idea is to help pre-
vent last minute pile-up of legis-
lation. On question No. 2-vote
FOR.
Question No 3. Many state of
ficials are appointed by the gov
ernor subject to confirmation by
the Senate At present, in case of
a recess appointment, the governor
is not required to seek confirma-
ton until 80 days after the opening
of the next long COR 90-day) session
of the Legislature. 1t is proposed
to require that the governor sub
NIT such requests for confirmation
on the first day of the next legis-
Iative session following an interim
appointment. The effect would be
to promote the prompt and orderly
transaction of the Senate's bust
ness. On question No. 3-vote FOR.
Question No. d. AT present an in
coming governor is required to
submit his first budget within 30
days of the opening of the Legis-
lature. This proposal would require
him to submit it within twenty
days. The purpose is the proper
one of increasing the length of
time for legislative consideration.
On question No. 4-vote FOR.

There is no unified Govern
ment policy on economic and
money matters-snd right now,
while the Federal Reserve is
making all borrowing more diff
ficult, Federal housing agencies
are acting to make housing
credit easier
1T is time to set up a new
Monetary Commission to take a
long, deep look at our whole
money system. That must surely
be done.
These are vital points Mr..
Bell is raising-and let no one

we have embraced new and

holds the Government is re-
sponSible for maintaining the

But the second key fact is that
while the government has ac-
cepted this responsibility. there's
no proof that anyone knows how
TO discharge II.
Today. for instance. the, Fed

overall supply Of credit.

Sees 7% Gain
In YuIe Sales
BY WILLIAM A. MILLEN

The Chamber of Commerce
of the United States expects
1856 to set a new record high
for business, with Christmas
sales, excluding automobiles
totaling more than 7 per cent
above those of last season.
The chamber said today re-
tail sales for November and
December will total $31.1 billion
contrasted with S29 billion last
year--a 7.3 per cent jump. If
automobile sales be included
they will register $37.1 billion
against 1852 billion last year
a 5.4 per cent advance and a
new record.
I The anticipated record volume
of Christmas buying is expected
to push total retail sales for
1856 to a new high of at least
1913 billion-S7.5 billion or 4
per cent more than the 1855
total" the chamber asserted.
Boom Called Healthy
1t declared this years boom
is healthier than that of 1855.
1t reflects a more normal eX-
pansion in population and per-
sonal income. Last year retail
jers benefited from a consumer
buying spree, particularly for au-
tomobiles, it recalled.
/ 1t pointed out to some extent
1856 sales reflect scattered price
increases.
The chamber said total sales
of general merchandise, apparel
a n d furniture and appliance
stores-the three categories DOM
mating the Christmas trade
have been almost 6 per cent
above 1855. 1t declared an in
crease in Christmas sales of more
than Z per cent is expected to
push the total sales to about
S43.5 billion this year compared
with SAL billion last year.
The chamber also made these
observations today:
Department store sales. &C
counting for about 55 per ceNt
of general merchandise sales, are
averaging about 5 per cent above
1855. Total volume in 1856 is
estimated at STA billion COM
pared to S10.9 billion in 1855.
1856 Estimates
Estimates of 1856 sales volume
lin other categories are: Gasoline
service stations. about II per
cent above last year-one of the
biggest gains in 1856, Drug and
proprietary stores-about IL per
cent above last year with a pos
sibility that 1856 sales will exceed
those of 1855 by II per cent.
Food stores-more than per
cent ahead Of last year. They
may close the year at ST. per
cent ahead. Eating and drinking
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES a 6
per cent gain this year as against
4 per cent last year. BY years
end the gain may be 6.5 per cent.
Automobiles: Down about So
per cent this year. although the
industry expects sales for the
final quarter Of 1856 will about
equal those for the same period
in 1855.

repeatedly defended the "inde-
pendence" of the Federal Re-
serve, has insisted the Federal
Reserve has the authority over
money and credit. Actually, as
Mr.. Bell points, ours is the only
nation in the world in which the
central bank can legally. if it
wishes. tell the head of its own
Government go fly kite
But is this a sound "chain OF
Responsibility" Mr.. Bells answer
here is that it is terribly UNI
sound. And he suggests the crea-
ton of a National Economic
Council consisting Of top adj
ministration economic policy
makers as well as the Federal
Reserve chairman, to coordinate
policy.

Mr.. Howe said the CAA in
stalled a 600-watt. o0,0o0-can-
dlepower lamp in the nose of a
DEB transport, so that it would
sweep 30 degrees to the left and
right.
This light was visible at a
distance of IA miles during

said.
During the test aircraft it
self was not visible beyond IL
miles. Conspicuity Of aircraft
was, therefore, increased 3
miles.
Howe said the next step will
be to try out effectiveness of
900-watt, 2-million- candlepower
mercury vapor light.
The CAA used a new and I'M
usually durable fluorescent paint
with the trade name Day-Glo to
make one of its Ercoupe light
airplanes more conspicuous. The
manufacturers, Switzer Brothers.
Inc, Cleveland. said one plating
should last at least a year.
The initial color used was
"blaze orange"-orange of bril-
liant reddish hue, Laboratory
tests are continuing to select
a color most striking against
various natural backgrounds.

Foreign Aid
Tops s. Billion
BY the Associated Press

~-~|~N@-NNNN
The Government reported to-
day that all types of United
States foreign aid. including mil
Iitary supplies and services, ex-
Iceeded SIS billion in the fiscal
year ending last June 80.
1t was $3.50 million, or 6 per
cent. greater than in the previous
fiscal year. The rise was the
first increase since a postwar
peak was reached in the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1858. The
total declined in the fiscal years
1854 and 1855.
The report by the Commerce
Department said the gain in the
last fiscal year was entirely in
military supplies and services
under the Mutual Defense AS
sistance Program. There was an
increase of nearly $500 million
from the $2,556,000.00O spent in
the fiscal year ended June 80,
1855.
Military supplies totaling
So, 044, 100000 in the last fiscal
year comprised so per cent of
the total United States net as
Isistance compared with 54 per
cent the previous year.
The department said the net
outflow of United States funds
through non military grants
and long and short term
credits dropped 1902 million to
S2.007, 100000.
Western Europe continued to
receive about three-fifths of the
total military grant deliveries
but the percentage gain was less
than for other geographical
areas.
Foreign aid payments fell of
generally to Western Europe, eX-
cept to Spain, which showed in
credSeS.

THE Secretary of the Treas
ury would be a member of the
council so so. on a completely

Board" Mr.. Bell said.
He added that the council

economic policy makers of the
Administration.
Such a plan would preserve
the independence of the Federal

look IN the distribution field.
Philip NJ. Talbot, senior vice
president of edward &
Lothrop here, and NRDGA pres
ident. was spokesman for the
group of 18 NRDGA officials. The
association represents more than
8,l00 department, specially and
chain stores in 48 states and the
District of Columbia. Their
combined sales volume last year
was $14.6 billion.
Predicting retail sales for the
balance Of this year would climax
the greatest year in retail his
tory, Mr. Talbot said 1856 will
mark the fourth consecutive year
that NRDGA members will
record sales increases.
Sales Called Barometer
OF Overall Trend
I'VE are a sensitive barometer
to overall business conditions, ="
Mr.. Talbot said. "Our rising
retail sales mirror an expanding
production. increased employ
ment and an ever increasing
standard of living"
The NRDGA spokesman ad-
vised the President that retailers
did not share the concern express
by some economists over the
level of inventories.
1T is important to remember
that inventories by themselves
mean little. They must be con-
sidered in relation to sales. To
satisfy increased demand re-
quires larger inventories. Retail
inventories have gone up in the
past year at almost the same
pace as retail sales. This is a
healthy condition" he said.
Sound retail credit will con-
tinue to play an increasingly I'M
portant role in maintaining and
expanding consumer consump-
ton" he said. Commenting on
proposals for legislative controls
regulating consumer credit, he
declared conditions did not
reflect need for this type of
restraint
