Who but the President could
say for the whole nation that
those participating in this great
effort-sometimes even though
they disagree with the decision
itself-deserve the gratitude, the
respect, the moral support OF
their countrymen? But Presi-
dent Eisenhower, far from ris-

views OIL the decision and the
goal itself.
Nor has he acted with deci-
sion to sustain even the most
elementary right for all adult

art-Time Presidency"
Nothing can be more essential
to our system Of government
than affirmative presidential
leadership. The President was
elected to these responsibilities
by the American people. He i;
the only officer of our Govern
ment who is elected by all the
people.
These four years Of a part

four be like?

risks in the Republican effort to
prove one of the calumnies of
1952-that our Government was
riddled with subversives.
Tonight want to tell you first
what this kind of leadership or
lack of leadership means-both
abroad and here at home.
And l want to talk about the
effort made by this administra-
ton to cover up its errors
errors that result from abdica-
ton of responsibility.
In the last week the American
people have watched anxiously
the heroic efforts of the Poles
and Hungarians to free them
selves from the hard yoke of
Moscow.
Called "a New Law"
And the so-called Republican
truth squad last Friday in Rock
Island. Ill, celebrated the event
by announcing that the great
revolts were "a clear-cut result
of the new American foreign
policy! We have said more
foolish and insulting things
about other peoples during the
Eisenhower-Dulles period than
We like to recall and at an
expense in good will and respect
We can Ill afford, but this was
new low even for the Re-
publicans.
If it was true, it would be
shameful stupidity to say it; but
as it is false. it was gross effort
to exploit the anguish of brave
people to make votes in an
American election The credit
goes where it belongs-to the
heroic Poles and Hungarians who
faced the tanks and guns of
their Russian rulers; 1t belongs
to those who were willing to
risk all--their lives, their for
tunes. their families-for free
dom. No credit goes to men who
in recent weeks have exposed
themselves to nothing more
dangerous than their own cam
palgn oratory.
And. as a postscript. let me
remind the Republican truth
squad that truth might be an
interesting experiment for them
some day: that they could have
announced more accurately that
we were caught off guard. that
when the fighting broke out in
Poland the American ambassador
wasn't even at his post--he was
visiting Berlin to see his dentist
And when the revolt broke out
in Hungary our envoy was not
even in that country.
And you may gauge President
Eisenhower's interest in this
whole problem by another BIZ
of history. In June OF last year
by vote OF 1910 the House Of
Representatives passed a resolu-
ton expressing its sympathy
with the satellite nations and
condemning colonialism Wher

the Columbus Day observance
and many traders and brokers
were off for long week end.
There was nothing in the way
OF outstanding news to push the
market either way.
Prices were mixed at the
start. After the opening furry
the turnover slackened greatly
and irregularity continued.
A gradual rise took place on
increased volume thereafter
Leading Steels. which had been
slightly lower, showed a good
front of plus signs. Gains
spread to most divisions. Oils
and rubber stocks, however,
shaded off and pivotal rails were
mixed.

margins squeezed as they try to
ward off the inroads of the dis
count houses and other forms of
present day competition.
How much it costs to be COM
petitive these days is shown in
the stories from Detroit.
The auto makers are supposed
to have spent 81 billion in bring
ing out the new models. They
plan to spend more millions than
ever this year in advertising the
1857 models.
Response Encouraging
Early response to the new
Fords is reported very encourage
ing. When the Chevrolets and
Plymouths reach the dealers. the
competitive race will be on and
the auto makers will find out
whether their billion-dollar bet
will be profitable. One thing
they're worrying about is wheth-
er tight money, threatening to
send up installment payment
costs, will cut into sales.
Labor and material costs
aren't the only one rising. In the
race to expand and capture new
markets. businessmen are bor-
rowing more than ever from the
banks-and paying more for the
privilege.
Bank loans to business are
running almost SIS billion over
last year. New York banks are
carrying about 70 per cent of
the national load. Interest
charges are the highest since
1882.
Bank earnings are up-but
many business concerns aren't
that lucky.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-Costlier
business operations take some of
the good out of good times for
many concerns.
A number of firms are report
ing higher sales volume today
without any corresponding rise
in profits. And some report
profits trailing last year even
Though they're doing more BUSH
mess.
Still rising costs in the steel
industry is causing talk of an
other raise in steel prices by
spring.
Merchants Unhappy
Merchants, because they deal
directly with the buying public,
are in a less happy position when
ut comes to raising prices. Many
of them are reported absorbing
the higher prices on manufac-
tured goods rather than risk loss
of customers in the present
highly competitive retail market.
Store keepers see their profit
