Trading Slows;
Narrow

NEW YORK. Aug. 9 @-
The stock market turned mixed
in slow trading in the early
afternoon today.
Changes we're narrow, except
for a few issues which dropped
between l and 2 points.
Trading came to q virtual
standstill at times. indicating
some members Of the financial
community were jumping the
gun on the summer week end.
Prices were slightly lower Ut
the start, then showed some
improvement after q statement
by the Treasury Undersecretary
Burgess. He indicated he did
not expect the increase in the
discount rate at four Federal
Reserve banks to tighten credit
conditions much further. The
boost in the rate from 8 to ga
per cent had been widely ex-
pected in Wall Street.
Otherwise there was little
news to influence the sentiment
of investors one way or the
other.
Motors were up fractions.
Steels. rails and metals were
irregular. Most oils and air.
crafts lost ground.
The Associated Press average
of so stocks at noon was of 20
cents at $181.20, with indus
trials down 20 cents, rails up
10 cents and utilities on 10
cents.
Corporate bonds were lower
in slow dealings. United States
Government bonds declined IN

company executives were going
to be able to realize their hope
Of presenting the facts I'm an
orderly way"
Sharp Words Traded
Senator Kefauver, chairman
Of the subcommittee, retorted
that Blough was mistaken IF
you have the idea that you are
just going to present what you
want to and not answer ques-
tons" Mr.. Blough replied he
was willing to answer questions
but wanted to make a presen-
tation that would enable the
subcommittee to understand
the industry's problems.
"One of the biggest jobs we
have is trying to communicate
with people," he said, adding
that "our success in commune
eating with the lawmakers of
this country has been almost
zero"
Senator Dirksen. Republican
Of Illinois, who aimed some
jibes Of his own at figures cited
by Senator Kefauver, said be-
fore the hearing was recessed
until tomorrow morning that
this committee is going no.
where unless it deals with the
facts"
He also expressed the hope
that other United States Steel
officials would soon be allowed
to present testimony they have
prepared. He said this would
put the inquiry lin a little more
orderly frame.
Framing Of Figures Disputed
Senator Kefauver figured
that the recent steel price in
crease Of 4 per cent amounted
to over $500 million a year and
said this additional cost was
going to have to be paid II
someone. He said Mr.. Blough
had tried to leave the impress
sion that the price boost was
"inconsequential."
Mr.. Blough replied that he
didn't dispute Senator Kefau-
ver's mathematics, but he said
that while you can throw
these figures around, it doesn't
get you anywhere unless you
relate them to something"
He sadi the price increase
amounted to three tenths OF
l cent per pound of steel.
If you translate it in terms
of ounces" Senator Kefauver
replied tartly. ut would be even
less than that" But the Sena-
tor said that steel prices usually
are quoted in terms Of tons
Mr.. Blough disputed that, con-
tending they commonly are
expressed in pounds.

One hundred years ago my

As a matter of fact, about
that time my grandmother was
going west over the Oregon

America as 1t is today.
She could never have visual.

Half Century'S Gains
We have gone so far in the
last half-century that it's even
more difficult today to say what
the next hundred years hold.
We do know this: we're not
going anywhere unless we keep
the free enterprise system, be-
cause 1t is the bedrock of our
growth and progress. Without
1t we could slide back into the
dark ages and universal slavery.
AS an industrialiSt, I am not
going to promise anything.
But, If we do keep our economy

President, AFL-CIO

Any predictions a century
ahead must be based on faith
that the future of our country
and mankind itself will not be
destroyed by war.
Likewise. II civilization is to
endure and 60 forward, the
triumph Of peace must be
accompanied by the triumph
Of freedom and democracy
throughout the world.
In making these assump-
lions. it is not my purpose to
elaborate on how these goals
can be accomplished.
Potentialities Limitless
I believe, however. that by
earning a position Of moral
leadership and by sharing our
wealth and the methods
through which we create ii
with less fortunate nations
we can eventually overcome
the threat of war and the to-
talitarian forces that point
that threat against US.
1t seems to me that the pc.
tentialities of progress for the
human race In the next cen
fury, provided peace is assured
are limitless.
The advent of automatior
and atomic power, to say moth.
ing Of scientific discoveries al
yet undreamed of should make
it possible to end the rat-ract
Of economic survival and afford
people everywhere greatly ex.
banded opportunities for edu-
cational, moral and recreational
improvement.
Our descendants certainly
should enjoy longer and better
lives.
In our own time, we have
long been working toward more
/ peaceful and cooperative rela-
tons between the trade unior
movement and management.
believe that even within tn:
foreSeeable future, let alone q
century from now. great prog
resS can be achieved in that
direction.
Goals Called Modest
The goals Of the trade union
movement are modest. We do
not seek to recast the American
way Of life in any particular
doctrinaire Of theological image
We seek for workers a fair
share of the wealth they help
TO produce in order to make
possible a steadily rising stand
ard of living. In the long run
the interests of industry and
agriculture are served by these
efforts, because they must have
expanding markets for expand
ing production.
Our economy cannot stand
still If our country and it;
people are to go forward.
The American trade unior
movement is. dedicated to polit-
ical freedom through a system
Of free government and to eco.
nomic freedom based upon q
system of free enterprise.
We fully respect the rights
Of private management. of pri.
vate capital. When they, In
turn. become reconciled to re-
specting the rights Of labor. we
will be able to work out a mu-
tual program Of cooperation to
assure the immediate progress
and the ultimate security of the
American way Of life.

A VETERAN PUBLIC SERVANT RETIREs

WHEN CIV. F. DANIEL retires at the end of the
year after Al years Of service with the Y. 5. Customs
Of the Treasury Department he will have concluded a
long and significant career as a public servant. 1t is an
accomplishment which deserves the highest common
dalton and admiration from the public in general.
THE CUSTOMS OFFICE is a highly important
segment Of the Treasury Department, responsible Tor
the collection of duties, and other matters relating to
expectation and Importation of goods, and travel in
general To have worked for nearly half a century in
manv positions is in itself a matter of which Mr.. Daniel
could justly be proud.
WE IN ST. CROIX had the advantage OF Mr..
Daniels services in his highly important position over
a period of years, and it is significant to note that during
all these years nothing but high praises was ever ex-
pressed by all who in one way or another came IN con-
tact with his office.
AS OF THE moment it is not known what plans
are afoot for public honors or recognition OF service, but
# goes without saving that when the time comes not
only his colleagues in his office, but representatives OF
Customs from the entire area, and the Government will
ioin in paving tribute to this public servant for a job
well done.
WE JOIN EVERYONE in paying honor to Mr..
Daniel. It must be a matter OF tremendous satisfaction
to look back upon an uninterrupted career covering SO
many years of service of the highest type.We wish for
MI. Daniel and his charming wife many years OF good
health and contentment, and hope that even though ne
will reside in Puerto Rico, which he knows well from
having served there SO many years, he will find occasion
TO visit in these Islands frequently, where his return
home will always be most welcome.
