|Stirs Upsurge
IOf Retail Sales

NEW YORK. April S (R.-
Dun g. Bradstreet said today
that the Nations retailers ex-
perienced an "upsurge" of con-
sumer spending this week, de-
spite billiards., downpours and
tornadoes.
The approach of Easter pro-
vided the spur.
Total retail trade for the week
ended Wednesday was notice.
ably higher than the previous
week. With Easter still three
weeks off, business was only
moderately below the same week
last year when Easter was Just
around the corner.
Biggest gains this week were
recorded for women's spring
coats, suits and dresses. FASH
ion accessories and mems APP
parel did not do as well.
Furniture merchants reported
increased buying of outdoor and
upholstered pieces, sales of dra-
peries. floor coverings and linens
showed a moderate rise. Pur-
chases of major appliances and
TV sets continued to lag far
behind year-ago levels.

Budgeting Methods Called
Increasingly Inadequate

For many years, close observ-
ers of Federal finances have been
warning the people that the
loose budgeting methods which
always have been and still are
practiced in Washington are in
creasingly inadequate to cope
with the multifarious. iar-fiung
and complex operations of the
Government, the survey con-
tinued.
Such fears were allayed to
some extent by substantial econ
omies effected in fiscal 1854 and
1865. but they may we'll nave
been strengthened again by the
steady subsequent rise in spend
ing. Efforts Of the administra-
ton and Congress to pass on
to each other the responsibility
for cutting the 1853 budget have
certainly done nothing to bolster
confidence "
Pointing to the practice of
voting large spending programs
extending years into the future
and large ''carryover" funds
available as a result. plus a
variety of "open-end" aid pro-
grams. the bank survey sug-
gested:
That an annual legislative
budget be drawn up with the
aid of a specialized staff. that
this be approved early in the
session so that no appropriations
be made for a single fiscal year
only. irrespective of real or sup
posed commitments. so that all
proposed appropriation would
be subjected to critical Congress
sional scrutiny each wear. The
last proposal was made by the
Hoover Commission.

Greenfield Asks
urban Renewal
Farley Here

Attacking cutbacks in the Fed
eral program supporting urban
renewal, Albert M. Greenfield,
president of City Stores Co.,
today issued a Nationwide call
for a White House Conference
on the rising tide of urbanism
and metropolitan growth"
Acting also as chairman of the
Philadelphia City Planning Com
mission. Mr.. Greenfield called
upon both the National Retail
Dry Goods Association and the
United States Chamber Of Com
merce to support his proposal.
He also requested support of the
presidents of all his company's
stores, including Ralph Gold
smith, president of Lansburgh's
Department Store in Washing
ton.
In a letter to H. Christian
Some. president of the National
Planning Association, released
by Mr.. Greenfield's Office, stimuli
taneously with letters to Richard
H. Rich. president of the
NRDGA. an dto Philip M. Tai
bolt. president of the United
States Chamber. Mr.. Green
field said:
81 want you to know of my
belief that discussion and reso-
luton of urban renewal prob
lens within the atmosphere and
at the level of White House par
tlcipation is most important at
this time. Indeed, the solution
to these problems hold in their
craps the very continuance of
our cities"
Referring in his letter to Mr..
Talbot to recent proposals to
cut back Federal participation
IN urban renewal programs. Mr..
Greenfield stated:
We have become alarmingly
awaref OF efforts among certain
Governmental officials to cut
back the already inadequate pro-
gram and planning on the part
OF the Federal Government in
support of urban renewal.
i cannot but feel that any
limitations or restrictions placed
on this program within the rea-
sonable extent of our resources
can be due only to lack of in
formation on the part of Gov
eminent and business leaders as
to the critical seriousness and
expense of these problems. 1t is
in the best and broadest interest
OF our national economy that
the United States Chamber un-
dertake to further this proposal
a sto a White House conference
This whole question goes so
deeply into the future Of our
cities that it is beyond partisan
constellation. in fact. beyond the
interest of any single industry /"

Ten Mi||ionth American Citizen Hit
Social Security Jackpot" This Year
United States Senator From Oregon Puts
Americans On Guard Against Empty Larder
BY Joseph Chesarek Member CFU Clerical Staff

president Roosevelt him
self had this to say when he
signed the Social Security bill
on August IA, 1885: "fhis
law represents the corner
stone of a structure which is
being built, but is by no
means complete. We ourselves
must supply the bricks and
mortar to expand such an ed
ifice."
Senator Offers Plan
There are ten ways in
which Social Security can be
made more effective. Here are
my proposals:
81. Allowable outside earn
ings for people drawing So
cial Security should be in
creased from the present
$1,000 to at least $4,000 an
nually.
SO. The maximum income
and wages on which Social
Security deductions are levied
should be raised from $4,000
a year to $5,4OO.
"3. The Social Security
retirement age for women
should be lowered to go
years with full benefits.
"a. A system of medical
care and protection should be
established for all Social Sc
curity beneficiaries.
"5. Social Security should
be provided as well also for
the medical profession.
Bureau Older Persons
"6. When a person covered
tby Social Security is totally
or permanently disabled and
no longer able to support his
family, he should be allowed
to receive Social Security re-
gardless of his age. (At'pres-
ent such a person must be so
years old).
81. Tax relief should be pro-
vided amounting to one per
cent of a citizens total earned
income. This would recognize
a depletion of human resour-
ces, same as mine or oil COM
panies are qualified for such
tax reductions.
"8. There should be set up
a Bureau of Older Persons,
within the United States De-
partment of Health and We'll
fare, where the needs Of spe-
