Presidential Advice

At his news conference last
week. Mr.. Eisenhower had a word
OF advice on how to bring an end
to the recession. The word: Buy"
Buy what?" a reporter asked.
Anything" the President re-
piled.
The newsman then reminded the
President that only a few days
previously Treasury Secretary
Robert Anderson was urging
people to be thrifty and put their
money in bonds.
The President explained that
he didn't mean that the buying
should be careless. Let's be selec-
tive" he said. and added: Il per-
sonally think our people are being
just a bit disenchanted by a few
items that have been chucked
down their Threats. and they are
getting tired of them. -"
There are some figures which
may bear out that last point made
by the President. Last week per-
sonal savings were reported to be
rising for the first time in months.
Statistics issued the previous week
showed millions Of consumers we're

When he talked to reporters
on Wednesday. Mr.. Eisenhower

that a tax cut would not be (at

Tough Opposition

Even il the Nations top mill
tary leaders do not speak out in
public. they are certain to exert
influence through friends in
Congress. 1t is no secret that top
Navy officers have met to discuss
the Presidents proposal.
And, there are members Of
Congress as determined as Presi-
dent Eisenhower who favor proc
posals that conflict with his plan.
Representative Vinson. Democrat
OF Georgia, is firmly behind a pro-
posal to cut the staff Of the
Secretary Of Defense rather than
enlarge it as the President pro-
poses. Mr.. VinSon is chairman

Committee.

Some Dissents

But there we're many who dis
puted his conclusion. They pointed
out that in March the number
of manufacturing jobs dropped by
about 100000. This decline was
for the most part offset by
seasonal increases in farm
jobs 13 per cent higher than
February and construction to
produce the net unemployment
rise of $4,000. Further. the worsen-
ing situation in manufacturing was
most noticeable in the basic in
dustries upon which many sectors
Of the economy depend-auto-
mobiles. machinery. and steel.
Finally, March is a month in
which unemployment normally
can be expected to drop by about
100000.
Thus the employment picture
just about stood still in March
although when seasonally ad-
justed, the rate increased from 81
per cent Of the work force to Z
per cent?.
In some areas-Detroit for in

stance-there was little inclination
to take the optimistic view. In the

employed. representing ia per
cent Of the areas available work
force, or one in six workers. For
Michigan as whole, ISIS per cent
Of the labor force was out of
work. This compared to 3.5 per
cent in the District of Columbia
area. where the number of jobleSs
in March dropped by about 1000
after a steady climb since last fall.
The picture presented by other
economic statistics was mixed
AND, in total. not particularly
bright. There was a strengthen
ing in the construction industry,
and indications of more to come
in the next few months. The
volume of new orders by manu-
facturers was down 81 billion in
March from February and SAB
billion under March. 1857. The
number of new interpretations was
down in March and business fall
ures showed a rise for the most
recent week reported. The aver
age number of hours worked by
individuals in manufacturing was
virtually unchanged in March
from February.
Nationwide retail sales dropped
per cent in March and personal
income declined $500 million. But
both drops were less sharp than
in the previous month. The Com
merce Department reported a 10
per cent drop in exports from
January to February.

A Strong Second

Secretary of Defense McElroy
quickly backed up Mr.. Eisenhower.
In a speech at the National Press
Club Thursday the Defense chief
, took note of reports that some top
service officers are apprehensive
of the Presidents proposal. He
suggested that officers unalter-
ably opposed to the reorganiza-
ton plan ought to resign and
warned:
II can see no excuse for mill
tary or civilian members Of the
Defense organization undertaking
to make public speeches in their
official capacities in opposition to
the program of their Commander
in Chief. -
At the same time. he said De-
Tense Department officials and of
ficers called to testify before con-
gressional committees should IAN
swer questions frankly and
fully in the light of his profess
sional knowledge and experience
and with consideration Of his po-
sition. -
Mr.. McElroy seconded the Pres
ident's denial that the plan would
make him a "czar," and added
that it would merely clarity" his
position and give him modest
flexibility in money matters"
Answering charges from Capitol
Hill that appropriating all mill
tary funds to the Defense De-
partment would give him control
of about two-thirds of the Federal
budget, he said the appropriation
of money to the Defense Depart
ment rather than to the indi-
vidual services was a matter Of
psychology and a means Of stress
ing unification Of the armed
forces. Money. he explained. still
would be earmarked for the sep
arate services.
The White House clearly will
continue its rapid-fire campaign
to win public approval for reor-
ganization of the military system.
President Eisenhower will take
his case to the people in a televi-
sion address at / pm. Thursday.
The Presidents forum will be a
luncheon meeting here Of the
American Society Of Newspaper
Editors.

Government scientists have in

grounds probably will not provide

Bomb Test Issue: A Reply to Russia

When Russia seized the initia-
tive on the nuclear bomb test issue
on March 81 with its announce
ment Of 1.-THE cessation OF tests OF
all forms Of atomic and hydrogen
weapons in the Soviet Union"
there was general agreement that
she had scored great propaganda
coup.
And when Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev later that week urged the
United States and Britain to join
in the ban and asserted that he
was willing to accept international
inspection to bring that about, the
next move was clearly UP to the
West.
Last week President Eisenhower
made that move. At his press
conference Wednesday he said the
United States might. under GER
tain conditions, consider hating
nuclear weapons tests. And in
letter to Mr.. Khrushchev he chal-
lenged Russia to agree to a Joint
technical study OF methods of
arms inspection.

Mr. Williams faces a tough OPP

Further complicating matters
for the Governor is the candidacy

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
The Determined General

previously had been expected to
base his decision on whether to
recommend that Congress reduce
taxes on the March unemploy-
ment figures. But those figures
obviously were interpreted by him
as granting a further period Of
grace before having to commit his
administration to tax reduction.
Il see no figures" he said. that
bring this thing to a critical point
and require q decision at this
moment :"
Other information he received
the same day might well have
bolstered this view. 1t was on
housing, currently the economy's
brightest spot. The Federal Hous-
ing Administration reported that
applications for mortgage insur.
ance on new homes in March
were 81 per cent above February
and 81 per cent above March.
1857.
The TACT that unemployment
figures were less frightening than
expected also served to strengthen
the determination Of the Repub-
lican leadership in Congress to try
to stall Democratic plans for
broad-scale Federal spending that
would create millions of new jobs.
The Republicans began to put
the brakes on ambitious Demo.
cratic proposals in the week sbe-
fore Congress began its Easter
recess, which will end tomorrow.
At that time Senate Minority
Leader Knowland succeeded in
delaying approval Of Democratic
bill to increase aid to community

it is their safety-it is their
safety"
Mr.. Eisenhower was speaking
at his press conference last
Wednesday about his plan for
the reorganization of the Penta-
gon. which faces a rough road
in Congress. Still on the active
list as a flve-star general. he dis
played complete confidence in his
ability to judge the wisdom Of
and the need for his proposal.
II don't care just who is against
this thing" he said. 1T just
happens I have got a little bit
more experience in military Or
ganization and the directing Of
unified forces than anyone else
on the active list"
Then the President answered
the first criticisms of his plan to
give the Secretary of Defense more
centralized authority over the
armed forces. There were, he
declared. adequate safeguards
against more powerful Secretary
of Defense becoming a GEAR"
For example," he said, there
is a Commander in Chief over

The 1854 recession required Is
months to move from high point
in July. 1858. to the lowest point
in August, 1854.
The downhill trail now being
Travelled by the national economy
began about eight months ago.
In most areas it has reached
depths lower than those hit by
the two previous postwar recess
sions. Last week there were de-
velopments that caused some OBJ
servers to ask: Have we reached
the bottom? And. if so. how long
will we be there before we begin
the upward climb?
These questions were prompted
in large part by the latest figures
on unemployment-the most pop
ular (although not necessarily the
most indicative) measure of the
economic health.
The unemployment total for
March. just tabulated. showed an
increase of only $4,000 Normally
there would be no basis for opti-
mism in a report Of increased UNI
employment. no matter how slight.
But the $4,000 rise looked good
against the 200.000 widely predict
ed by economists during the two
or three weeks prior to the re-
lease of the actual figures. 1t
also looked good against the fact
that from mid-October to mid
February the average monthly
rise in jobless was $4,000.
President Eisenhower was
among those who took an opti-
mistic view of the new figures.
He said in a statement on Tues
day!
The figures released this morn
ing by the Departments of Com
merce and Labor show a pickup
in jobs in March and a leveling
of Of unemployment. These sta
tiStics indicate a slowing up OF

Mr.. Dulles said that such an

effective enough to make the risk
acceptable. He also said that II
was unlikely that the United
