BABSON DISCUSSES BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

s(2) Automobiles and Parking. I'm
less the trend for larger cars and
automobile accidents soon turn
downward, with greatly increasing
"A lane" highways, the automobile
industry will be leveling off. There
will be more money in providing
parking facilities than in the sale
of automobiles.
C3) Community Churches. The
Church is the hope of America, but
young people are giving less at
tention to formal creeds and the
old religious dogmas. Denomina
tiOns are meaning less to the COM
ing generation. l forecast a great
growth in community churches at
tended by a large number of peo-
pie of different denominations.
Churches will be located adjacent
to municipal Fairgrounds, lakes,
rivers. eft !.
ca Shopping Centers for retail
stores will be followed by brain
centers for insurance companies,
Legal firms, architects, etc. The
suburban population definitely
will increase, attracting churches.
YMCA's, and other organizations.
as well as retail stores. AS the
working population grows and
working hours lessen. the time
given to sports will increase; in
fact, the sale of sporting goods
will increase. Stores in the down
town metropolitan cities will
gradually appeal more to men who
have not the time to visit shopping
centers. With self-service properly
developed, there will always be a
field for self-service speciality
stores, variety stores. and the up
to-date dime store in the dense
downtown districts of all cities.

(2) AutOmatiOn. At first glance
this should cause unemployment,
hut automation will be so expen-
sive that it will, come about only
slowly. Furthermore. although au-
tomatior reduces greatly the num-
her of employees needed, yet the
quality of the employees needed
will be considerably upgraded.
Automation for many years will
barely offset the possible shortage
of labor under present conditions.
(3) Imitation. We ought to fight
imitation in any form, but it will
slowly creep up on us, resulting IN
gradual increase in the cost cf
living. Of course, if World War
III should come. the value OF the
dollar will drop from so cents to
25 cents, but l am not looking for
anything like this now.
I4 Government Expenses, barr
ing World War III, should hold
fairly steady. The development OF
missiles should reduce defense ex-
nenses in both the Navy and Army.
This should Offset any increase
arising from the growth of bureau
cratic government
Other Trends To Watch
~ Higher Education will be
considered a necessity. Not only
will teachers receive higher sala-
ries. but they must work harder to
earn the same by having double
sessions, by the further use OF
te1evision. and by proper grading.
Anv time there may be discovered
a completely new revolutionary
system of education. Colleges viii
cease as residence schools and be-
come day schools with elaborate
parking facilities.

BabsOn Park, Mass, May %. Dur
ing the past winter I have used my
;pare time trying to decide what
Industries have the best oportuni-
lies. Among these, the following
seem the leaders. The Oil Industry,
represented by any of the large
companies. The Chemical Industry,
n which I consider the American
Agricultural Chemical Co. of Flor
ida one of the best. Household
Heating by uranium, with Amer
can Radiator & Standard Sani-
.ary the most conservative and
National U. S. Radiator perhaps the
,est speculation. Electronics and
Thermodynamics with Westing-
lOuse Air Brake perhaps the best
peculatiOn. Earthmoving Machin-
Try, with Caterpillar Tractor the
most speculative and International
Harvester perhaps the most con-
Servative purchase. The Microwave
industry, of which Hughes Pro-
lucts of Los Angeles and the Mo-
OrOla Co. of Chicago are among
the leaders. Greeting Cards, with
1 Gibson, Hallmark, or NorcrOss
trademark. The Broadcasting of
Power for small kitchen utensils
may be developed by the Radio Cor
ooration of America.
Reasons For The Above Selections
There are four basic factors
which | am considering in select
ing these Industries.
ID Labor Shortage. This will
continue due to the desire for four
more years of education and for
retirement at SIS, and to other fac
tors which will Offset the popu-
lation growth This will further
strengthen the power of Labor
Unions.

The hitch is that, while the Post
Office Department has sought time
and again to obtain information on
express revenue, the ICC has found
as many reasons for not producing
it. Senator Douglas castigated the
ice for it's ''clear refusal to COM
ply, and. said: eat best it shows an
inability of the Commission to
read; at worst it shows the Com
mission as a willing servant of the
railroad industry. Nor did the
Senator spare the Post Office De-
partment, which, he said, has been
willing to roll over and play dead'.
The amendment was rejected, but
Senator Douglas purpose may well
have been accomplished. His strong
reminder to. the Senate, and hence
to the public, that Postmaster Gen
eral Summerfield was overpaying
million a year at the very time he
stopped the mails to shake down
the Congress for a $46 million
emergency appropriation, will not
be overlooked. Even though the
Senator warned that Mr.. Summer
fields arrogant gesture worked
once, and at will be used again, .
we expect first to. see a more seri-
GUS effort to recover that 800
million of the publics' money.

Here We Go Again!
Watch out for another ''sumrIiI
conference. The global scene
shifters, at home and abroad, are
preparing for it. Russia frankly
wants it, as Premier Bulganin re-
vealed in a Soviet-Mongolian friend
ship speech in the Kremlin. That
means every trick and every pres
sure will be used to include Red
China.
President Eisenhower sees the
Russians growing more serious
in their attitude toward disarma-
ment. Secretary of State Dulles
suggested that we might begin the
Presidents aerial inspection" plan
by flying over Siberia while the
Reds fly over Alaska and nOrthe rn
Canada. Since such plan would
render our three radar warning
lines in the north completely use
less, we presume Mr.. Dulles would
have the russians cross their

without letting us know in advance
There would be plenty to talk
about, such as atoms-fOr-everbody

has shown that such contacts are
useful. Furthermore, since Gene

Perfdy Threatens Defense

Perfidy Threatens Defense
Tungsten is the stuff that seems
most likely to break the "heat
barrier" that has halted the efforts
of engine and plane builders to
press further into supersonic
speeds. It is anticipated that al
loys containing up to SO per cent,
or more, of tungsten will provide
metals that will resist the heat of
skin friction above Mach 2, and
extend the life of jet engines
(costing up to 100000 a copyl
four to five times. Tungsten is
today's best hope of lightweight
radiation shielding to make poss-
lble atomic aircraft.
Thus, while the defense demand
for tungsten appears to have null
tiplied three to four times in re-
cent months, little group of will
full men must accept the grave re-
sponsibility for shutting down du-
mestic production. Our stOckpile,
officially estimated last June as
good for six years, now in the light
Of increased demand may contain
but a year r-and-a-half's supply. AS
matters stand we must look over
seas for more. The worlds largest
source of supply is in Communist
China and other principal sources
are either behind the Iron Curtain
)r close to it.
That we do possess the natural
resources to make the nation self
sufficient and immune to foreign
blackmail has been amply proved
under the Mineral Purchase Act of
1853, extended in 1856 to run
through 1858. This legislation au-
horized a support price, in lieu
Of a tariff, to permit the opening
and operation of mines to produce
strategic aterials-nOtably tung-
3ten-in competition with low
wage foreign countries.
The effect, in the case of tung-
stem, has been to develop domestic
production adequate to our needs
if it is permitted to continue. But
right now, at time when tungsten
5 probably the most critical of all
defense metals, hard rock miners
are idle and mines are closing

port the Act And there is no money
because the House Appropriations
committee has welshed on its 1856
pledges, and despite the Senate
-oll-call vote of 81 to II to provide
The promised funds, continues the
Congressional stalemate.
This is another instance of the
'olly of legislation that authorizes
money, but does not appropriate it

Gene told me she could always re-

CAUSE AND EFFECT

Arthur KrOck of The New York Times
is widely regarded as one of this cOuntrys
most authoritative writer's on national af
fairs. So something he said recently about
the natural gas situation is of unusual inn
portance.
The price of natural gas which ultimate
ly goes into interstate commerce, is now
federally regulated at the wellhead-right
where is comes out of the ground. This reg
ulation came about as a result of Supreme
Court decision and q subsequent Presidential
veto of a bill which would have freed the
producers of these controls. The veto, in
cidentaily, was used because of lobbying ac-
tivities pursued by few of the bills advo-
cates-and even in his veto message, the
President strongly endorsed the bills objec-
tiVeS.
Now Mr.. Krock writes Fifty per cent
of the natural gas that is marketed in Texas
is consumed inside the state. The other so
per cent provides heat and power for private
and industrial consumption in other states
But there is a growing disposition among
Texas gas finders to quit searching for gas
and hold what they have found until one of
two developments occurs. The first is the
arrival of a state market for as much gas
as Texas can yield. The second is the abO-
lition of Federal control of prices for gas
sold at the wellhead to the companies which
put it into interstate commerce." Ii this
trend continues, Mr.. KrOck adds, .. it
is entirely possible that within few years
maybe ten-the outside communities that
are dependent for heat and power on natural
gas will become hardship cases"
The proponents of regulation claim 1t is
in the interest of gas consumers all over the
country. Actually, it threatens to deprive
those consumers of being able to get any
gas at all. Here is an example OF cause and
effect with vengeance

DrOwsy Drivers
Cause OF Mishaps

Drowsy drivers are fast becom-
ing the No. 1 accident cause on
virtually every turnpike and
superhighway in the country, ac-
eording to Paul w. Kearney, vet
eran safety writer and author of
the new book, 81 Drive the Turn
pixies" the current selection of the
Teen Age Book Club.
1.-THE sleepy-head who dozes off
at the wheel and causes an acci-
dent, even if nobody else suffers
injury or damages, is driving out
of control just as much as is the
drunken driver and both are
menace to Others" Kearney said.
He is a frequent contributor to
the Readers Digest and the Satur-
day Evening Post.
Kearney and his wife are COM
pleting an 8,000-mile tour of the
major turnpikes in one of the first
Mercury Turnpike Cruisers pro-
duced. To date they have made
round trip over the Indiana, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West
Virginia, Massachusetts and Maine
turnpikes, the Garden State and
Wilbur Cross Parkways and the
New York Thruway.
"So-called monotony of the ex-
pressways is not the real reason
for sleepy-head driving because it
also prevails on the shorter pixies
like those in West Virginia, Maine
and New Jersey" the author ex-
planned Carbon monoxide in the
car from a leaky exhaust system is
an obvious cause but more in
sidious cause is the fact demon
strated by Motor Vehicles Re-
search, of Boston, that driving with
front window open allows the
vacuum from the cars forward
movement to suck fumes inside.
"An excellent feature of the
new Mercury Turnpike Cruiser
which overcomes this problem, is
its roof-level air intake in front,
plus the retractable rear window.
With this window partly down
land all the rest closed) you get
a straight-line, fore-and-aft venti-
Iation stream which eliminates
this threat of gas fumes in the
car"
From his long driving expert
ence which includes plotting a
car in every state in the Union at
least twice and eight crossings of
the continent without relief
driver, Kearney feels that It is
necessary for drivers to conscious
ly work at staying alert. Some of
his proven expedients for Tending
off highway hypnosis" and drowsi-
ness include such tricks as:
Chewing a big wad Of gum "a
whole pack at a time).
Singing loudly (the worse voice,
the better result).
Kicking off your right shoe to
let the gas pedal vibration stimu-
late you.
Sitting on something hard for
while like thick magazine
Keeping your eyes rowing in
stead of looking straight ahead
mile after mile.
Looking in the rear view mir
ror every few seconds.
Another fine feature of the Mer-
curv Turnpike Cruiser is its Seat
O-Matic which gives the driver a
dial setting in any of f2 different
seat positions and provides changes
nf body position which are rest
ful on long trips, Mr.. Kearney
said.
Mercury's dual-headlight system
also is a marked safety ADVANCE

but in fog or falling snow. fneSs

Social Security News
by MyrOn MilbOuer
(Manager of the Wilmington Social
Security 0ffice)

Security Office
While some workers in private
households have been covered by
social security since the beginning
of 1850, and most domstic en-
ployees have been under the law
after 1854, the Wilmington social
security office at 514 w. 10th ST.,
receives daily questions similar to
the ones answered below.
Q-I am a household worker.
Can I get the same old-age and
Survivors insurance benefits to
which workers in other kinds of
covered employment are entitled
A--You and your family can be-
cGIle entitled to the same life and
death benefits available to the
other workrs who become entitled
under the Social Security Act.
Q-I am hiring a household
worker for the first time. What
should l do? I will pay more than
$50 a quarter.
A-Start by asking the employee
to show you her social security
card. Copy the name and social Sc
curity account number from it and
keep them for making your re-
ports. Deduct IA percent from your
employees wages each time you
pay her.
Get a copy of Booklet 81 from
your social security office or from
your District Director of Internal
Revenue and fill out and mail the
card in it to get further informa-
tion and the simple tax report
form. The worker will need to show
her social security card to the en-
ployer If she does not have a
card or has changed her name, she
can get one at the nearest social
security office or secure an appli-
cation for one at the nearest post
office. Both the employees name
and social security number are
needed for the employers reports
The employer will start taking "a
percent social security tax from
the workers pay and report her
wages to the District Director OF
Internal Revenue. For more infor-
nation about your duties as an
employer, you should get copy OF
leafet 0ASI-21 from your nearest
social security office
Q-I do household work for sew
eral employers. Is it possible for
me to check my social security ac-
count to see if all of my employ
ment has been reported?
Ayes. Contact or write your
social security office for Form
OAR-7004. If you believe some OF
your wages were covered under
the Social Security Act but were
not reported by your employer
call at your social security office
Your wage record will be investi-
gated.
Q-I have an employer identtG
cation number which l use in my
business. Must I get another for
use when reporting my household
employees wages?
A-YOu may use your business
employer identification number il
you wish: or, if you prefer, you
may secure an additional employer
identification number for use only
in reporting your domestics. An
other possibility would be for your
wife to get the household employer
identification number IN the event
you do not wish to involve your
business with your household op-
Grafton.
Q-Then anyone I hire in one
of these positions will be covered
by social security if paid $50 cash
wages in a calendar quarter. Is
that correct?
A-Not quite correct. If you hire
your child under age 21 or your
parent or spouse at any age, the
services cannot be covered by So
cial security.

MODERN HIERoGLYPHICs

Two million American youngsters are
about to graduate from grade and higL
schools, 100000 will be receiving sheepskinS
from our colleges and universities. And thir-
ty million others, from kindergarten sprats
to college juniors will be moving up the scho
lastic scale.
This is an impressive nationwide spec
tacle, this semi-annual heaving of the yeast
of practically universal education. We are
further impressed when we hear of the wide
range of subjects in which youngsters of even
tender years are now instructed, such mat
terS as economies, psychology, music-appre
citation, art and the 'life adjustment courses
such as how to behave on a date or tune
radio or select phonograph records But it's
diScOuraging to learn from the Handwriting
Foundation that thousands of these graduates
can't write-sO anyone else can read it
Major General Paul A. Disney, who is in
charge of Army training at Fort Knox, KY,
is distressed at the shortcomings of the re-
crSits sent to him from all over the nation.
"These high school graduates can't spell,
their English composition is bad and their
handwriting is in the form of hieroglyphics,"
he told Washington PTA group visiting the
camp recently. SCHOOLS are teaching a lot of
fancy things and not enough of the Three
Business, like the Army, is having to
teach high school graduates, boys and girls
alike, "a lot Of things they should have learn
ed at home or in the public education sys-
tenn before they are ready to handle job
Even so, says the Foundation, business losses
run into the millions every year because store
clerks, who have made sale, can't write the
name and address of the purchaser so it
can be delivered; because statesmen can't
write the orders they sell so they can be cor
rectly filled And telephone companies are
running schools for long distance operators
to teach the girls how to write charge slips
that the billing departments can make out.
In letting up on the Three Rs, in cur
failing or omitting such studies as algebra,
geometry, physics, chemistry, foreign lang
uages, even history some school people are
making life pretty easy for the kids while
they're in school-and mighty tough when
they get out
And soon, through lack of qualified work
ers, this panty-waist education will have
made it impossible to carry on the nations
economy or implement its defense.
