Now I want 10 turn 20 the
field Of private business action,
I have been gratihed by the
underlying purpose and &C
complishments Of this confer
ence. Business leaders have
been reporting precisely what
they and their industries are
doing in creating new products
and designs. reducing costs,
undermining plants and facili-
ties. and merchandising more
effectively. All this will create
new and better Job opportu-
mites. These reports show that
American businessmen are en-
gagged more and more In the
best kind Of creative compete
tion-investing their resources
their ambitions. their imagi-
nations and themselves 20 build
stronger positions for their
companies. Thus they win help
build a stronger America and
q stronger free world.
They do this because they
are deeply convinced Of thii
plain truth about American life,
Achievement and progress
cannot be created for our peo-
pie: they can only be created
by our people.
Americans would have II nc
other way. Our future is In
our own hands. Our prospects
are limited only by our vision
and by our exertions.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-05-21

We need It's prompt enactment
by the Congress.
Tar Decision Due
There Is another area Of pol
icy that has aroused intense
interest. both In and out Of
Government. That Is taxation.
Everyone IN this country Is,
l know. concerned about taxa
ton. We would like 10 achieve
improvements In the tax struc-
ture. We would like 10 assure
maximum equity In the tax
burden. We would like 10
achieve further simplihcation.
We would like a tax structure
which least interferes with
sound economic growth.
The timing OF such changes
always poses problems. During
periods Of high business activ-
ity and high employment there
is concern with infiationary eff
fects. In a time like the present,
with It's rising Government ex-
penditures, we are particularly
sensitive 10 tax burdens, but
there is likewise great concern
with the future impact OF In
creasing current deficits.
After consultation with con-
gressional leaders, certainly de-
cisions will shortly be taken in
the field Of taxation. They will
be made In the light Of the
latest information regarding
the economic situation and with
a full evaluation Of the prob
able short and long range con-
sequences. This matter Of
taxation is so important to the
American people that by no
means should It be the subject
Of political competition.
While we are talking Of
Government activity. we can
not forget defense reorganiza-
ton, mutual aid and world
trade. Through our security
establishment. we help produce
the confidence essential to
prosperity at home. Through
our mutual aid program we
help other free-world nations
develop their strength in order
to maintain their defense estab-
lishments against Communist
threats, and in order to bring
the economic improvement
that spells hope for their peo-
pie. And through expanding
world trade we increase jobs
at home and economic strength
here and abroad. In these

Predicts Records

Our economy has always
moved ahead TO set new records
after every period Of pause or
recession in our history.
1t will do so again.
One salient fact should be
clear. We can never pep-talk
our way to prosperity. No one
here is proposing that we try.
We are simply suggesting that
businesses do what is clearly in
their own interest. We are sug-
costing. further, that it be done
in the time-honored American
way Of self-reliance and self
starting initiative. Our economy
has grown strong because our
people have made Jobs for each
other and have not relied on

Fifth, recommendations have
been made to Congress to dea

ample is my proposal Of March
rs to provide temporary unem-
ployment insurance benefits to
individuals who have exhausted
their regular benefits. This pro-
posal goes directly to the heart
of the problem Of relieving hui
man hardship arising from the
recession. There can be argu-

there is no arguing about the
personal anxiety and hardship
that this proposal will alleviate
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-05-21

I ind my position here TO-
night a refreshing and some-
what novel one.
For some months now we In
the Government have spent q
large part Of our waking hours
acting on proposals by private
citizens on what the Govern
ment could do about the busi-
ness downturn.
Now this group Of private
business leaders has invited
some Of us from Government
10 suggest 10 businessmen what
they could be doing about the
downturn. Needless 10 say
this is q welcome turning OF
the tables.
I begin by reminding our
selves Of one simple. inescap-
able fact
America Is not going 10 stand
still. America is going 10 grow
and grow and grow.
Decline Is Slowing
The question that faces us
today Is not whether America
Is going TO continue TO grow
and make progress. but how
quickly our economy is going
to resume is full and healthy
advance.
My answer tonight is this:
Reports from the country
strongly indicate that the
economic decline Of recent
months is slowing down. Not all
our economic troubles are over
by any means. But there is a
change in the making. That II
will prove to be a change Cor
the better, / have no doubt.
What America must do now
Is to gather all its forces for a
new offensive to promote an
early upturn and renewed
economic growth that is vigor-
Gus and sound. No single per-
son and no single group, how
ever wise and well-informed,
can name the day or the week
when that upturn will begin.
But there is reason to believe
that much Of the adjustment

Star Racing EDITOR

More than 1000 hardy racing
fans were at Bowie before noon
today, shortly after the start
of a snowstorm which the
Weather Bureau predicted
would possibly put 3 inches of
the stuff on the ground.
While snow fell steadily,
State highways and roads lead
ine into the track were in good
shape. Special race trains from
Washington Baltimore and
Philadelphia were expected to
bring more. The temperature
at Bowie seemed to be rising
giRing track officials hope that
the snow wouldn't last long.
The racing strip was in good
shape and there were no late
changes in the lineup for the
featured $4,000 Miss Maryland
Stakes for 3-year-old FLIES. 1t
shaped up as a two-way battle
between Knollwood Stables
Movitave and Mrs. Walter A.
Edgar's Milady Dares.
Only IS flllies were nomi-
mated originally "for the Miss
Maryland dash, but 10 of them
were entered for the 5la-
furlong dash.
Movitave. extremely consis-
tent in Maryland last year,
winning six races in Is starts,
was the likely favorite. She
won her last three starts last
fall, including the Pimlico
Breeders Stakes at a mile and
a sixteenth. in which she beat

PERTH. Australia, Feb. is
B.-Herb Elliott, Australia's
newest track sensation, ran
his third straight mile under
four minutes today. He beat
Mervyn Lincoln by a step at
Leederville oval in 1896.
Lincoln was credited with
the same time in what is be-
lieved to be the worlds fastest
mile run on a grass track.
The 19-year-Old Elliott had
hoped to- break John Landy's
listed world mark of 1858 and
the still unrecognized figure of
3:5T.2 set by NEngland's Derek
Ibbotson on a cinder track.
