The astounding thing Is
that there has been no panic
among the great bond houses of
Wall Street in the past few
months.
For in this most basic section
Of Wall Street - where the
bonds of our corporations.
states cities and the Treasury
are traded daily-just about
every panic-creating condition
has been flourishing through
most Of 1857.
The prices of outstanding
bonds have been fading away,
touching new lows. While a
fairly respectable price rebound
began in late June, so far it
hasn't done more than lift the
prices Of securities of the
floors.
The banking houses which
arrange and handle the sales
of new bonds by corporations,
states and cities have been TAX
ing his losses as the price
trend has been down, down,
down. and they haven't been
able to move their "merchan-
disc" new bonds at original
sale prices. Even the most nim-
BILE among the houses hasn't
been able to escape unhurt and
the less nimble really have been
in a financial "bloodbath."
Losses Are Heavy
It's not peanuts that these
firms are losing: Every one
point change on a $1,000 bond
equals $40. A 10-point loss on
a $10.000.000 holding of bonds
means a $1,000, 1000 licking. To
most of the big banking houses,
dealing in totals of this magni-
tude is just normal business.
To give you a guide to what
has been happening, the 3 per
cent bonds which the Treasury
sold in 1855 at 100, and which
traded above that price in 1856.
hit 1864 in June.
Not in this century have
prices of the highest-grade
bonds slumped so sharply in so
short a period.
This has been nothing less
than a convulsion-arising out
of the phenomenal demand of
borrowers of every type for
new funds. AS the demand has
overwhelmed the supply of
every type for new funds. AS,
the demand has overwhelmed
the supply Of savings and has
hit up against the Federal Re-
serve Systems refusal to supply
new money in sufficient volume
to fill the gaps, interest rates
have climbed and bond prices
have cracked. And bond buyers
have moved firmly into the
buyers seat.
1t was in May, 1858, during
the period that the Federal
Reserve System was trying its
first serious experiment with
tight money in this era. that
the money and bond market
suffered seriously. After a pro-
longed phase of price declines.

OF 1858. the whole bond price
structure shuddered violently:

To avert what would have be-
come a catastrophe squeeze

money stream within a few
weeks.

Judiciary Committee Approves
Civil Rights Bill

WASHINGTON = The House
Judiciary Committee approved
this week a civil rights bill con-
forming closely to President
EiSenhower's recommendations.
Most authenticated amend
ments to reduce the role pro-
posed for the Federal govern
ment in supporting voting and
similar rights were defeated in
final cloSed-door session. The
bill now goes to the House Rules
Committee, where SouthernerS
are expected to make another
stand.
Quick Passage Seen
But hackers predicted the bill
will get reasonably prompt clear
ance to- the House and be over
whelmingly adopted there.
Strategy of the northern and
western legislators supporting
the bill has been throughout to
work for quick House passage so
that pressure will build up of
similar action in the Senate, and
SouthernerS will find it harder
to talk the measure to death
there.

POLIO VACCINATION MAKES
SENSE

Suppose someone took you
aside and said: "You have an
enemy who may waylay you and
cripple you for life. But I know
how you can stop this enemy.
You'll have to act fast. It won't
cost much money, and it will
take only 180 seconds of your
time"
If you knew the facts were
true, you'd take him up on it,
wouldn't you?
Well, the facts are true. The
enemy is paralytic polio. If you're
under 40 years old, you're pos
sible victim. If polio strikes, you
may face a life shattered by
disease and disability.
There is no CURE for paralytic
polio, but there is a way to
PREVENT it. The preventive is
the Salk vaccine. It is safe and
it works. Three properly spaced
Shots-at 60 seconds a shot
gives you protection.
over 100000 Americans
have been smart enough to get
this protection. But 60,000,000
in the susceptible age group have
been foolhardy enough to neg
lect it.
Don't be one of the foolhardy
ones. The polio season starts
soon. You still have time to safe
guard yourself and your family
if you act at once. Go to your
doctor or your clinic now. Vac
cinate-before it's too late!

SKY RIDERS HOTEL FACILITIES
EXPANDED I

Facilities at the Sky Riders
Hotel at Sky Harbor Municipal
Airport have been expanded to
include a banquet room, patio
and barbecue as well as the main
dining room and cocktail lounge.
Known as the Skycove area, the
units may be formed into one
large area where some 800 to
400 persons can be served. In
cluded in the recently completed
construction at the hotel were
36 new guest units. Cost of the
new facilities was approximate
ly $35O,OOO. A continues and
changing air display and "air
flight" decor are featured in
the restaurant and cocktail area.
The City will receive 5 per cent
of the gross receipts of these
new installations which will
mean about $4,000 additional
revenue from the operation. The
attractively handicapped h otel
now has 78 ultra-modern units,
plus a large oval shaped SWIM

FIRST PHASE OF TRANSIT SURVEY
COMPLETED

Ron Terry, survey engineer of
the General Motors Coach Divi-
sion, has completed the first
phase of an overall survey Of
public transportation in the
Phoenix area. This involved rid
ing the various City bus lines to
observe the areas served and
street conditions, then checking
line reports, revenue, expense
and relative data to find what
each line is actually doing. This
study is needed to determine the
weakness of each line, and to
recommend improvements nee
essary to provide better transit
services to the public.
