The Treasury Department

The new borrowing is intended

500 Stocks

Index

ANGW 4OAb11y Wal. VI IA
new statistical yardstick for re-
flecting the change in stock
market values made its debut
today.
Standard & Poor's Corp,
statistical and investment ad-
visory organization, sent its first
hourly index of 500 stocks
geared not only to the average
prices of shares listed on the
New York Stock Exchange but
also weighted by the total value
of the listed shares.
The SIP index is unlike pres
ent averages in that the latter
only use so to 100 or so stocks
and they are not weighted by
the aggregate value of the
shares.
The new method is closer to
the average price of shares listed
on the New York Stock Ex-
change which was last computed
Iat $47.49 as of January 81, last.
The components of the new
index stood as follows:
AIS industrials 1857; Is rails
1882; so utilities 1888.
The index is calculated swiftly
by electronic devices. SIP de-
scribed it as "the most complete
and technically accurate meas
ure of the market ever devised"
and said it represents 80 per cent
of the total value of all stocks
listed on the New York Stock
Exchange.

Or Else

Or Else
In looking around the world and
pondering the events of the past
40 years, President Ralph j. Cor
diner of General Electric sees the
totalitarian states and those that
are trending toward Communism
as areas in which the managers of
what were once free and indepen-
dent businesses failed to measure
up to the full responsibilities of a
free society and a free market.
Most business leaders today, he
declared in an address to the Ex-
ecutives' Club of Chicago, have good
intentions. yet American busi-
ness has been shockingly ineffec-
tive in making them known and
understood" While management
has been applying brilliance and
energy in making and selling goods,
"others have been working with
equal energy to destroy the repu-
tation of the business man, dis
credit his achievements. subject
him to increasing Government reg
ulation and interference, and ulti-
mately to wreck the uniquely sue
cesful system of American enter
prise.
Mr.. Cordiner reminds us that:
Back in the 1920's, the American
business man was the idol of the
world. He won this position of
honor by a truly great achieve
ment: he mastered the fundamen-
tails of Iow-cost production of
things that people wanted and could
buy in quantities-when that was
the really important advance to
be made in raising the level of liv-
ing"
Subsequently, he notes, came the
depression-for which the busi-
ness man was made the political
scape-goat. There were the New
Deal, the Fair Deal, the ascendance
of politically powerful unions;
World War II, in which production
miracles became commonplace, and
now postwar prosperity in which
abundance and increasing scien
tific marVels are taken for granted.
Despite the massive contribu-
tions of business to our continued
freedom as a nation and our SUI
perior living scale as a people, #
remains politically suspect To
most any professional vOte-getter,
the support or defense of busines
IS bad politics.
1t is Mr.. Cordiner's idea that
management must make it good
politics "to be for what business
is for. This is largely task of
setting a corporate example-and
letting employees. neighbors and
public officials know about com
