Key List Firm

NEW YORK. Sept. Is [RN.-
Coppers continued their re-
covery as the stock market re-
manned on the upside in moder-
ate trading early this afternoon.
Gains by most key stocks
we're narrow and there was a
sprinkling Of small losers: but
a few leading issues scored sig
able gains running to around
2 points.
AS a whole, the market
seemed to be showing indeci-
sion as a number Of stocks al
ternately made and lost small
gains.
The coppers. however, were
well on the upside az they were
bolstered by a firming in copper
prices at the custom smelter
level. Some oils and selected
issues elsewhere in the list also
made fair gains.
But major steel shares were
barely changed. Motors showed
a slight downward drift. Lead
ing rails were unchanged to
slightly higher.
The Associated Press average
OF so stocks at noon. was I'D 90
cents to $174.0O with the in
dustrials up 80 cents, the rails
up 80 cents and the utilities I'D

Inrouds on Farms
Worry Officials
By the Associated Press

Federal farm officials are be-
ginning to express concern
over q rapid urbanization Of
productive farm land.
They report that around /
million acres Of farm land are
being withdrawn from agricul-
ture annually to provide air
fields. superhighways. suburban
communities and industrial
sites.
One Of those studying this
problem is Assistant Secretary
Of Agriculture Erwin L. Peter
son. whose principal job is to
promote conservation Of the
Nations soil.
Mr.. Peterson says that local
farm and conservation leaders
should try to bring home to
the public what he calls the
necessity for protection" Of
the better farm lands.
The department may pro-
pose q national inventory of
farm resources and recommend
that future promoters Of SUBJ
urban communities and indus
trial concerns take the matter
into account.

~ ELMER ROEssNER

Here's a plan to eliminate
the worst inequities Of infia-
ton
Most economists agree the
Nation faces long term, even
perpetual imitation. They call
1t "wage-price imitation" be-
cause 1t consists Of alternate
rounds Of higher wages and
higher prices-the higher wages
to pay for higher priced goods,
and higher priced goods to A.
nance the higher wages.
President Eisenhower's APP
peal to labor and industry to
moderate these rises has met
with no success. Tightening the
money supply has failed SO far
to arrest imitation. Economists
say the only way to make this
treatment effective is to make
money so costly to borrow that
considerable unemployment re-
suits. But between imitation and
unemployment. both politicians
and the public would choose
imitation.
Meanwhile. every round Of
imitation sQueezes those de-
pendenton fixed incomes: bond
interest, pensions. proceeds Of
life insurance policies, annui-
ties and similar Interchangeable
sources.
One way to solve this prob
lem would be to lay q tax on
the increase in any price and
wage. Nobody would be pre-
vented from marking UP q price
tag or striking for higher wages,
but part Of the increase would
be paid over to the Govern
ment.
I like 80 per cent. It's a con-
vincing figure and suggests that
the system has been carefully
worked out. Actually, it hasn't
and. in fact. the best rate could
be determined only after years
Of experience.
AS part Of this plan, the
money collected in this tax
would 60 into q special fund,
and this fund would be used to
compensate those chewed by
imitation.
Thus, II q pensioner could
show that his t2OO-a-month
pension would buy only three
quarters Of what it would when
he retired. the fund would make
up the difference--or at least

ably certain the trend Of auto

DR.. Louis !. Dublin, health
and welfare consultant for the
Institute of Life Insurance, said
motor vehicle accidents last
year hit a high mark Of 10000
deaths and Ia million injuries.
There were, in the United
States. nearly 1T million auto
accidents injuring someone. He
said the costs involved totaled
more than IS billionl

ance reports a record $4,000

months Of this year, and pay

It predicts auto dccth claims
will exceed 500 million this
year - more than the death
claims Of the United States
armed forces in the three
years Of the Korean War.

for Traffic Safety still sticks to
a program Of teaching people

more people are learning" to
drive and killing and Gripping

AS reported here three
ago, should the rate Of
auto accidents continue to in

ton increase, there will be
more than $4,000 auto deaths
a year by 1865. Between now
and then almost half a million
Americans will be killed in or
by autos, plus some 20 million
