they could not deliver these

been q yearly Post ONCE def
cit. Yearly. third and fourth
class mail has greatly in
creased: also yearly. the rev.
enues from third and fourth
class mail have never paid for
the costs. Congress has had to
appropriate money each year
for the Post Once deficiency
bill. In IS years this Post ONCE
deficit has grown to SAT mil
lion above all revenues taken
in by the Post ONCE on all
classes Of mail including
stamps, postcards. registered
letters. special delivery, insur-
ance. money order and C. o. D.
fees for this year alone.
Postmaster General Sum-
merfield dares Congress not to
appropriate his demand Of
SAT million on threat to cut of
Saturday deliveries and cur
tailment Of other services. He
says nothing about cutting of
the things causing his def
cits-parcel post and junk

pay for delivery. whether we
want them or not.
Let the Post once cut out
third and fourth class mail and
revert to the original purpose
of the Post once service-the
sale Of stamps and the delivery
Of letters. post cards. news
papers and periodicals for the
general public. The Post ONCE

EXP. o. Clerk.
So the Postmaster has
threatened to cut all deliveries
on Saturdays.
We have already been cut
to only one delivery per day.
and by hook or crook this man
takes 1t upon himself to ac-
tually threaten to go much
further. I am calling upon all
citizens to get behind a move
ment to eliminate any fur
ther cllrtailment of our postal

The people of Washington

up with many trials, but this
type Of restriction is without

! am not in favor Of a raise
for flrst-class mail. True, the
service is expanding as are

What amazes me is that
nothing has been said or writ
ten about the appalling cost
Of decentralization of the Pos,
Office Department. Whether
this move by Mr.. Summerfield
has improved the postal serv-
ice is highly debatable.
Also, how about the money

Behind Bobby Helms record
of MY Special Angel" stands
a tale of four cities.
The cities are Bloomington,
Ind, Houston, Tex, Nashville.
Tenn, and New York.
Bobby himself is from Bloom
ington. He worked around In
diana for years as a rodeo per-
former. He's a crack rider, a
master of the bullwhip and an
artist with a six-gun Che shoots
left-handed).
Jimmy Duncan lives in
Houston. He owns a record
distributing firm and writes
songs on the side. He wrote
the words and music Of my
Special Angel"
Nashville is where my Spe-
cial Angel" was recorded.
New York is where Decca re-
leased the record.
Paul Cohen, a recording di-
rector for Decca, was put in
charge of Bobby Helms when
the label signed him q year
ago. He supervised the record
ing of "Fraulein," Bobby's first
record.
A New York publisher
brought Mr.. Cohen a demon
stration disc of two Houston
boys singing MY Special An
gel" Mr.. Cohen thought it
good material for Bobby Helms
to record.
He sent the demo to Bobby
so he could learn the song.
Bobby can't read music.
Then q recording session was
set up in the Bradley Record
ing Studios in Nashville.
Decca, like many other COM
panies, makes all its country"
recordings in Nashville.
Mr.. Cohen lined UP only a
rhythm section-bass. piano.

But the record couldn't be

well.
MY Special Angel" has some
country feeling, but Mr.. Cohen
considers 1t more Of q pops

virtue is that 1t is sweet and

Decca will soon issue an al

ranging from blues to country
to pops to English "skiffle."
It looks as If Decca is trying

ness skyrocketing, we'll create
a general crash.
And If we follow this course.
we'll do even more. Wen
guarantee the very runaway
imitation we're trying so des-
perately to avert. For then,
the Government will put out
every anti-depression weapon
we have in. our arsenal. Well
go in for pump-pnming and
turning of the printing presses
on a scale dwarfting anything
ever seen in our land.
When We get done, we will
have gone through an utterly
needless depression and we will
have given imitation a gigantic
push. Doesn't make much
sense. does it?
But if, we continue to buy
steadily both for cash and on
the cuff, our spending by itself
will be an immense prop under
our economy in 1858. Our
spending and such other fac
tors as increased building of
houses and of roads will help
offset the depressing factors,
will help pull us out of this
letdown.
Certainly. shop carefully,
check prices, look for bargains,
cold-shoulder the prof1teers,
That's obvious common sense
in an era when the Consumer
is King.
But at a time when the cost
of living finally is leveling off
and the economy is shiverine
from some chilly winds, it
would be folly for us to force
a slump by going on a buyers
stroke.

deal of postponed spending by
States and cities for badly
needed local improvements in
public building. roads, and par
ticularly Schools" he added.
I'VE have had, of course, a
rather drastic decline in stock
market prices. Before the Sec
ond World War such a decline
would certainly have prophe-
sized a serious recession or
maybe a depression. Since the
war. however. in more cases
than not. the stock market
action has been behind and
not ahead of the news.
Nevertheless. this market
decline is bound to bring out
certain prophets of doom and
pessimism. Some of them are
already predicting an end to
our prosperity and you may be
sure that enemy propagandists
all over the world will be pre-
dieting our crack-up. This
could produce a psychological
recession by putting a dampen-
ing and over-cautious blanket
on the progressive outlook of
the American businessman.
With expanded productivity

petition for the consumer dol
lar will be more aggressive than
in many years. In these cir
cumstances, he who heSitateS
may not be lost, but he might
get less of the consumer dollar
than he is entitled to.
For those who take an op-
timistic positive view. and inten-
sify their advertising and pro-
motional efforts. there should
be solid rewards" he said.
What I have said is not a pre-
diction. Rather, it is a strong
conviction upon which we at
Coca-Cola are basing our plans
and budget for 1855"

No Time for Buyers Strike
~ SYLVIA PORTER

VERY Personal" were the
words underlined on the face
of the envelope I found under
my door when I came home
from work the other evening,
The letter was from a neigh
Dor" who identified herself only
as a simple housewife" She
wrote that she has been read
ing my column almost reli-
giously for several years" and
was now appealing to me d.
rectly because lately. she &C
cused, Sylvia Porter has been
speaking from both sides of her
mouth at the same time"
The implication of the rest of
her intelligently written letter
was that in recent months, !
have been reporting simultane-
ously about the depressing fac
tors in our economy and the
climb in living costs to all-time
peaks-two seemingly contra
dictory trends indeed.
What needs telling and re-
telling" she continued. is that
the problem of initiation is the
one we have to lick" and it is
up to the buying public" to
lick it.
And she ended, please tell
our people to ask prices and
pointedly to refuse to buy too
highly priced items. no matter
how badly they seem to be
needed. Let's stop buying
even the highly priced foods
and furniture and clothing, etc.
until merchants are forced to
reason"
My neighbor undoubtedly re-
fleets the resentment of mil
lions of Americans against to-
days record-high prices = and
it's a resentment that, as a
working woman and housewife,
I share to the fullest extent.
My Neig h b or's suggestion
that I keep emphasizing that
imitation is our fundamental
problem, I also acknowledge as
warranted. I believe initiation
is the great economic challenge
Of our century.
But neither she nor any one
else will get support from me
for buyers strike now - not
in this crucial month of No
vember, 1857.
Now the forces pulling us
toward downtrend in 1858 are
as powerful if not more
powerful - than the forces
pulling us toward a new bust
ness advance. AS 1857 moves
to a close, we're clinging pre-
cariously to a narrow ledge
between def1ation and imitation
! And what is the stimulant
which, above all other ssimuS-
lants, can keep us from slipping
into deflation in 1858? 1t is:
Continued strong buying by
US, Americas consumers.
If we, Americas consumers,
pull back now - if we go in
| for massive resistance to buying
any food, clothing. furniture.

today's showdown into a slump

I think we have a basis for OPP

in trying to envisage to-

q basis for optimism with re-
spect to the whole consumer

First. despite spots of unem-
ployment in certain segments
of industry-due to the decline

American people will. I believe,
in 1858, achieve the highest
level of personal income they
have yet realized"
'"'The cost of living had in
creased "a per cent while the
growth in personal income was
SIS per cent so far in 1857" he
declared.
There is every indication
now that the decline in home
building construction. which
has been constant in 1857, may
be reversed in 1858.
"Since the automobile is
such an important segment of
our economy, it will have an
effect on the total picture in
1858. which I believe will be
favorable. The dealer sales of
1857 models for August, Sep
TENDER and October were con-
siderably beyond the industry's
expectation and his stocks of
1857 models are in a healthy
condition. The foundations for
a good automobile year in 1858
are present, providing only one
thing, and that is that the pub
lie will like the new 1858

Experts Differ
Widely on So
Trade Outlook

A panel discussion of the
1857 business outlook here has
focused attention on the di-
vergence of opinions among
economists.
Addressing the annual meet
ing of the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association al
the Shoreham Hotel. Ralph
Robey, economic adviser Of the
National Association of Manu-
facturers. yesterday predicted
a tax cut will cause an eco
nomic upturn in 1858.
Emerson P. Schmidt, eco
nomic research director of the
United States Chamber of
Commerce, suggested that 1883
will not be as good as 1887"
although the "long-range fac
tors for expansion continue
strong"
Herbert Stein. research direc-
tor of the Committee for Eco
nomic Development. predicted
the economy will continue at
its present level for the next
several months. probably for
most of 1858"
Nathaniel Rogg, director of
the economics department of
the National Association of
Home Builders, predicted little
change" in the volume of home
building next year compared
with 1857. and estimated hous-
ing starts in 1858 at "close to
the one million level"
Expects Further Rise
Mr.. Robey said he sees AN
other month or so" of increases
in the consumer price index
certainly no decline before jan
uary, if them. He described the
economy as moving sideways"
at the present time and said it
must soon "break out either on
the upside or the downside.
Mr.. Schmidt said the econo-
my is overdue for a down.
turn" and is 'in for more than
a rolling adjustment" The
United States Chamber spokes-
man asserted that a rise in I'M
employment-to four or five
million this winter-is "inevi-
table" and that business profits
will be squeezed seriously" in
1858. Further, he predicted
1858 will see a good deal of
price cutting-both announced
and unannounced." he added:
Mr.. Stein said an important
factor in the economy is the
steady growth in State and
local government expenditures
which shows no sign of abat-
ing" On the home building
front, he said a two-year de-
cline in housing starts shows
signs of being reversed"
Mr.. Stein said he expects the
Nations total production of
goods and services in 1858 to
continue at about the pres
ent level" with the chances
of a downturn greater than
the prospects Of a rise.
Mortgage Funds to Ease
Mr.. Rogg said he see nc
change in new home prices
during 1858 but an easing in
the availability of mortgage
funds later in the year.
Assuming that the rest of the
economy remains "tolerably
good" the home building vol
ume in 1853 will total about
one million starts, with rental
units accounting for a larger
share of the market than in
1857, he asserted.
