that the end is coming sooner or
later. I'VE shall then be faced with
quite a different problem-how to
prevent investment falling so low
as to cause slump" he says.
The financial editor of the Man

on the debate. Quoting both Mr..
Harrod and the BIS, the editor says:
THE feeling that the great boom
in capital investment may not last
much longer has been gaining
ground on the Continent for some
time"
Reliance on the United Stotes
For many years the belief was
almost universally held that condi-
tions in the United States deter
mined the economic health of Eu-.
rope. 1t was said that if the United
States caught a cold, Europe got
pneumonia. This idea took deep
root in the great depression of the
early 1905. The United States was
so great a market for the products
of both the raw materials countries,
many of them economic subsidiaries
of Europe, and the industrial coun-
tries that sharp decline in Amer
lean demand was catastrophe for
Europe. But in the years after
World War II it was discovered
that the United States could have
at least mild receSsionS without no.
ticeable disturbance to Europe's
booming business. In fact, the
European boom is one of the sus-
tanning factors sometimes cited by
our economists when Analysing our
own business prospects.
An end to prosperity all over Eu-
rope followed by def1ation and bad
business there could have an ad-
verse effect on business psychology
and the economy here. How serious
the effect would be would depend
upon our own business conditions
at the time. A recession in Europe
coinciding with booming business
here probably would not be felt

Facts, Then Action
AS soon as the fact of the revolt
was confirmed. US1A went into
action. While the wires to Europe
were humming with urgent requests
for additional information. USIA
filed news stories on the Develop
mentS known to that hour for
transmission on its four wire net
works, and the Voice of America
had begun broadcasts around the
world. Two complete stories were
moved that day-both confined to
the facts as then known, without
editorial comment. Then the log
OF USIA in the matter of the Poz-
nan rioting went on as follows:
June 20, A.M.-The daily East
European roundup, on both the
Voice and the USIA Press wire,
under Warsaw dateline, played
the Poznan rioting with details.

coincidence of recession on both
sides of the ocean simultaneously
would certainly aggravate our
troubles.
One of the important causes of
soaring prices of nonferrous metals
and other raw materials in recent
years has been European demand.
A serious falling-off of European
demand for raw materials due to
business recession would have a
softening effect on world raw ma
terial prices. including prices of
such materials in the United States.
Not only our commodity markets.
but our stock markets would
promptly reflect the change.
Would Reduce Demond
A substantial slackening of Eu-
ropes economic pace also would
tend to reduce Europe'S demand for
dollar" goods and put increased
pressure on Europe's exporters to
sell more European products in
North America and in third mar
kets by easing the prices and terms
of sale. This would offer American
industry and exporters intensified
competition.
Actually readjustment process
of sorts has been taking place in
Europe since late 1855. In Britain
industrial output declined between
November and March from an in
deX of 121 to 116 Germany's index
dipped from lat in November to
1913 in January; then recovered to
1873 by May. Italy, Belgium, Den
mark, Norway and Sweden have
shown roughly similar trends since
last fall. France, on the other
hand, has been doing better this
year than last. Whatever the ma
ture and causes of the readjust-
ments noted, the upward movement
seems to have been resumed again
in Europe. A recession may be
coming, but it is not at hand.
So long as European economies
do not collapse as a block and at a
time when our own business is de-
Ginning sharply, the impact Of a
European recession on us probably
can be taken in stride.

from $13,975 to $14,62O remains to
be seen.
Mr.. Karrick has written some two
dozen associations and institutions
for recommendation and has been
told flatly the pay won't be enough.
If that turns out to be the case,
he will be in a real box. There
appear to be only two ways of in
creasing the pay.
One would be to get Congress to
set higher salary by statute, as
it has in the case of Hobart M.
Corning, superintendent of schools,
the highest-paid official of the Dis
trict government.
School pay legislation sets the
superintendent pay at $4,000 If
he has only a bachelors degree,
$4,000 if he has a masters and
$4,000 if he has degree as doctor
of philosophy. Mr.. Corning gets
$4,000.
The next six higheSt-paid men
in the District government are paid
a top of $14620. Two of these are
the civilian Commissioners, who
earn that top pay for the Civil
Service grade of GS-17. The Engi-
neer Commissioner gets the same
pay, made up of his Army salary,
plus enough more from the District
to bring him to parity with his

MARYLAND
BY GENE GOODWIN

Even though it's an election year,
four of Maryland's seven Congress-
men should be able to take it easy
for the rest of the summer, once
Congress adjourns.
The other three, however, would
be well-advised to skip any ex-
tended vacations and get right
down to fence-mending.
That's the way the battle shapes
up at this early date, with the No
vember general election still over
three months away.
The four lucky representatives,
who are expected at this juncture
to have little difficulty winning re-
election, are Dewitt S. Hyde, Re-
publican from the 9Th district, and
the three Democratic gentlemen
from Baltimore City-Edward A.
Garmatz in the Sd, George H. Fall
Ion in the 4th and Samuel N.
Friedel in the 7th.
Facing tougher competition in
November are Representatives
Richard E. Landlord, Democrat
from the 5th district, and the two
other Republicans in the Maryland
observation-disclosures T. Miller from
the LIST and James P. S. Devereaux
from the I'd.
Look to Eostern Shore
Democrats feel they have the
best chance of increasing their 4-3
margin over the Republicans in the
Maryland delegation in Mr.. Miller's
LIST district, which encompasses the
nine counties of the Eastern Shore.
The Shore is traditionally Demo-
cratic, and had kept its tradition
pretty well untarnished until 1916
when Ed Miller, popular Easton
lawyer, asked to be sent to Con-
eress. The Shore decided to over
look his Republicanism and has
been doing so ever since.
But this year. the Democrats
have decided to fight fire with fire.
To oppose Mr.. Miller, they have
come up with a popular lawyer OF
their own in 36-year-old Hamilton
P. Fox, ir, of Salisbury. Wicomico
County States Attorney.
Maryland Democrats also are
hopefully cycling the End District.
where they have big registration
majority but have been unable to
wrest the congressional seat from
Mr.. Devereux since 1850. The dis
trict is composed of Hartford. Car
roll and Baltimore Counties.
Carrying the standard for the
Democrats in the End this fall will
