Economic Fair Weather

Taking stock at midyear, Secretary
OF Commerce Weeks has predicted that
1857 will turn out to be "the best year
yet in the history Of our economy"
Supporting the Secretarys forecast were
two current Commerce Department re-
ports on business activity, showing,
among other things, that both gross
national product and national income
are rolling along at rates higher than
last years record levels. In the first
half of the year, for example, the total
output Of goods and services was meas
ured at a rate Of $43l billion annually
compared with $412 billion last year.
Other strong points in the economy in
cluded a per cent pickup in retail
trade, capital expenditures for plant and
equipment that are exceeding those of
1856, and favorable balance in foreign
trade. Even automobile sales although
described as mot as energetic" as ex-
pected, promise to run ahead of last
year. Coincidentally with this Govern
ment projection of the economic year,
an independent consumer survey by
the Research Center of the University
OF Michigan reflected a similarly strong
confidence that good times" will con-
tinue for the rest Of 1857 and at least
into early 1858.
Neither the favorable evidence nor
the optimism Is surprising. AS the year
began, there were signs that the econ
omy was Catching its breath" momen-
tarily, but no real indications that the
high pace of business activity was reach
ing an end. The bulk Of corporation re-
ports has reflected continuing increase
in gross income, even though net profits
per share have declined in numerous
cases because of higher costs. The eau
tious off1cial forecasts at the beginning Of
the year Of further modest advances in
overall prosperity seemed well founded
then, and the midyear reading bears
out this feeling.
At the same time, 1t would be I'M
wise and unrealiStic to ignore some of
the disturbing factors. The infiationary
pressure has been persistent and cost
Of living indices have moved steadily
higher for the past ten months. Both
contract and escalator wage increases
have gone to hundreds Of thousands of
workers in basic industries this sum-
mer. Curtailment of Government
spending still is only hope, not an
actually, and Secretary Weeks himself
warned that there Is danger that job
creating investment sources will dry up
with damage to the whole economy.
Despite the economic fair weather"
forecasts, therefore, this is a good time
to watch the barometer carefully.

Overemphotic Wife

Mrs. Virginia Scales of Los Angeles
seems to have been motivated by good
intentions when she walloped her hus-
bands boss with two-by-four. She did
this, according to her explanation, only
to impress upon the poor fellow that she
thought he was working her mate too
hard and too long, thus making her

The Need Is Obvious

We agree with The Star
that the televised parade Of
thieves and hoodlums before
the Mcclellan committee is
doing an important job in
waking US up to the fact that
q substantial and critically
important segment Of labor is
threatened with capture, If
1t is not already captured. by
thugs, racketeers and crooked
union leaders. And that tough
legislation. which may be OPP
posed by honest union lead
ers. is needed to deal with
this situation.
However, when The Star
notes that such legislation
will not be enacted by a
normally reluctant" Congress
unless there is a strong pub
lie demand, We immed1ately
get a picture Of that great
silent majority" of Ameri-
cans who lose out to organ
lied pressure groups on so
many issues vital to the over
all good of our country. sim

II we have any excuse for
not making our voices heard.

End of q Junket

The results Of Nikita KhruShchevs
visit to East Germany remain obscure at
this writing. Apparently he and his
Soviet colleagues have worked out some
sort Of political and economic agree
ments" with the puppet Red regime.
Beyond that. however, his trip seems
to have been devoted primarily to the
delivery Of repetitious speeches bitterly
attacking Chancellor Adenauer and
making clear that German reunification
can be achieved only when, as and If
Bonn and the West as whole accept
the Kremlin's terms.
At the start Of his junket, the gen.
eral assumption was that Mr.. Khru-
shchev would do and say things calcu-
lated to promote the defeat of DR..
Adenauer in next months West German
elections. But the boss OF Russias
Communist Party, whatever. may have
been his objective in going to East
Germany, has merely restated the tire
some old Stalinist thesis which all in
formed Germans have long since con-
temptuouSly rejected. In substance, this
thesis rules out the possibility Of reuni-
fication on the basis Of genuinely free
elections; instead, it demands that Bonn
agree to conditions under which the
present partition would be ended in a
way that would eventually bring the
entire country under MoScow's IRON
listed control.
In uncompromiSingly reaffirming
this louo-cfovadsv0 CoV,,ak v.oI,o., ~.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. he knows it. or
not-almost certainly has strengthened
rather than weakened DR.. Adenauer's
political position. Thus, besides resent
ing the Russians virulent attack on the
Chancellor, the voters of West Germany
are likely to be less impressed than ever
with the campaign cry Of the Chancel-
lors Social Democratic opposition that
he should negotiate" for reunification.
After all, how can anybody probably
negotiate" on this subject when the
Kremlin insists on terms whose sole
purpose is to commune and enslave
Germany?
AS for the East Germans, there can
be little doubt that all but tiny. mi
nority Of them feel about this lust as
their Western compatriots do. Mr..
KhruShchev certainly has not made a
hit by visiting among them. Although
they have been herded into the streets
to hear him, they have damned him
with conspicuously faint applause and
an almost ostentatious lack of enthusi-
asm. More than that, during his stay,
some 5000 of them have made point
Of escaping through the Iron Curtain
to freedom. There could be. no better
or more devastating commentary on
how they despise the tyranny the
Kremlin has imposed upon them.

Who Is Top Man?

The Kremlinologists Of
our State Department are
currently confronted with a
puzzler. They don't know who
the man is who is operating
Soviet foreign policy. John
Foster Dulles doesn't know
who is his opposite number
in the Soviet foreign Office.
Mr.. Dulles is said to doubt
that recent Soviet policy is
a Khrushchev product and
to feel that the man respon-
sible must be sought else
where. Khrushchev and Bull
ganin have been away from
Moscow so much, say the ex-
perts, that they cannot pos
sibly have had the time to
mind the store" Mr.. Dulles
is capable Of such a feat be-
cause he devotes full time to
foreign policy. but who does
that in the Soviet UnionP
Besides, our State Depart
ment has noticed an i'm
proved quality and in
creased understanding of the
West in Soviet diplomacy.
That can't be due to the
crude Khrushchev.
Until this mystery is solved,
they say. 1t will be extremely
difficult for the State De-
partment TO appraise either
the Soviet Unions present
intentions or the probable
future Of It's foreign policy.

No More Studies, Please

Senator Byrd, In opposing Burke
site for a new Washington airport, sug-
gested a further study by the Civil Aero
nautics Administration Of possible sites,
including the Chantilly region. He told
the Senate Appropriations Committee
that he thought the Chantilly area
should be investigated fully. Apparently
the Virginia Senator has not been ade-
Quately informed on the CAA search for
. suitable airport site. For it is matter
of record that the CAA, over the past
several years, has conducted diligent
and comprehensive study of every avail
able airport site in the Washington area,
that it has reinveStigated a number of
sites previously rejected and that it still
is convinced that the best site is at
Burke, Virginia.
President Eisenhower based his re-
quest for supplemental appropriation
for the Burke project on the expert adj
vice of the CAA, after its long studies
of the whole region. The House accepted
this authoritative advice in approving
the Presidents request for $12.5 million
to enlarge the Governments holdings at
Burke and start construction To require
the CAA to conduct further investiga-
tons Of sites would be useless duplica-
ton Of effort by the Federal agency-a
costly waste of the sort that Senator
Byrd has fought so vigorously and well
IS an economy advocate.
No more studies, no more stalling
tactics Of any kind, should be permitted
by Congress or the administration in
this vital airport matter There have
been too many studies and too much
sailing already. Meanwhile, air con-
gestion is increasing and the danger of
accidents correspondingly is rising. Pub
lie safety demands action now to assure
an auxiliary airport for Washington.
The Senate should face up to this re-
sponSibility and end the risky and
pointless dillydallying with the Burke
project.

method Of operation was too emphatic

Q. In electricity. what is
the difference between a
coulomb' and an ampere?-
o. r.
A. A coulomb is the unit
that measures the quantity
Of electricity flowing past a
given point in one second.
The word ampere relates to
rate or intensity or strength
of a current: a current Of
one ampere carries one cou-
lomb per second. Since the
rate or strength Of flow is the
important matter in practical
applications of electricity, the
word ampere is in more gen.
eral use than is coulomb.
Both words derive from the
names of famous French
physicists: Andre Marie AM
pere t1775-1836l and Charles
Augustine Coulomb (l736-
1906.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

"A reader is very much per-
turbed by q dog bite, as she
has every right to be, but
being q friend Of dogs, her
self. has forgiven the offender.
A person who tries to be fair
will consider, she says, that
the watchdog aspect is ever
prevalent. and coupled with
loyalty. companionship and
devotion makes q dog truly
mans best friend-even when
he bites you.
Surely. loyalty can go no
farther.
AS for Templeton Jones, he
loves dogs. too. but not that
much.
The mutt which bites him,
he says. IS going to get a
swift kick. If it is the last
tnlng ne does.

Jones tried this once on a
mean dachshund, one Of
these silky brown ones.
The dog was patrolling his
masters quarters. as they
say in the Army, when along
ambled our old friend.

ing crocodile teeth.
Temp Jones said later he
never knew such a little dog
has such big tusks.
Mice doggy" said Jones,
with as much affection as he
could muster, which wasn't
much.
How can you like a crea-
ture which, for no apparent
reason, attacks you?
Jones couldn't, and didn't.
The dog did not care. It
went right on woofing away.
you ugly looking brute. y
said Jones, at last, as the
creature came progressively
nearer.
This statement did not put
the dachshund in q better
humor.
To the contrary. he seemed
to understand every word,
and not to like them either
singly or in combination.
At this point. 1t might have
helped Jones II we had sud-
denly materialized out of the
air, and had handed him,
with the appropriate flourish
a sentence from our cor
respondents letter.
"All breeds" she says, "are
endowed with the instinct to
protect their master and his
property from intrusion OF
encroach m ent upon the
property on which is located
the dogs habitat. the place
where he lives and whose
owner feeds him and cares
for him. so the dogs instinct
goes no farther than that,
and human intelligence can
not reconcile him to a true
understanding of conditions. -
Nonsense" Jones would
have said.
Actually. Of course, there
was no letter, this time, no.
body there but Jones and the
dog, which all this time was
yapping and coming closer
1t was at this point that
Jones launched a major Of

his right foot, heel FIRST. I
