Craftsmanship to Beat the Slump

trade-in allowances on used
cars. But the latitude in price
reduction Is limited. and
that's why there is pressure
now in Congress to repeal
excise taxes.
This is a knotty question
for the Government to decide,
because anyone who can pay
more than $1,000 for any
article certainly should not
object to the payment of the
small amount Of sales taxes.
After all. the owner Of a car
might be expected to pay
something more to the Gov
eminent for the building of
new roads and the mainte-
nance of existing highways
than is covered by gasoline
taxes.
The administration Is re-
luctant to see excise taxes
on automobiles removed al
together. and it may be that
q smaller amount will be
agreed upon in Congress as
a compromise. There is a
hope here that some way
may be found by the sellers
to reduce auto prices. But
with the threat Of increased
wage demands by the auto
workers union, there is little
prospect Of seeing present
costs cut down.
Meanwhile, Michigan, it
self, has taken the initiative
in a Nationwide campaign to
stimulate auto sales. Parades
and a display Of selected
bargains are being planned
with the slogan you auto
buy now" The dealers and
manufacturers say people
have the money to buy. but
need to be urged or re-
minded of what the new cars
can do for them. This is per-
haps a significant beginning

Some Panied Views on TeIevision

automatic records in a few
cities, coupled with telephone
calls in q few others. do make
the science exact enough to
remove the normal and APP
parently Objectionable idea
that the television network
or the program sponsor
should have some sense Of
responsibility and judgment
as to the quality Of the pro-
gram.
Idon't like to bubble about
this new science. But I won

age of the television viewer
really is. I'd feel a bit better
about this mastermind selec-
tor of my television fare If
the gadget registered whether
Junior is watching the set
or If the program actually
is being viewed by an adult.
From the net result of the
TV ratings, suspect Jun
ior as the mastermind of
the electronic masterminds.
It might help also If the
gadget showed whether or not
the program had put the
viewer to sleep.
Maybe while the House Of
Representatives is seriously
investigating the matter Of
shenanigans in the Federal
Communications Commission,
it might be good for the Sem
ate to tune in for a Who

matte mind-reader and pre-

bility of the TV pollsters has
become such a credo in the
area Of Madison Avenue that
Congress should have a look

be told beforehand that no

with his opposite number,
Meade Alcorn.
Eric Johnston, who pro-
duced the recent foreign aid
show. had an anguished ex-
perience with the Vice Presi-

since the foreign aid appeal
rested on the need for the
absolute togetherness of ma
tons, the example should be
set here with President Eli
senhower and former Presi-
dents Truman and Hoover
on the same program. He
thought he had Mr.. Nixon's
backing when they APP
preached the President to-
gether.
He learned quickly that
not even Sputnik had re-
placed Mr.. Truman as a bad
word around the White
House. Mr.. Eisenhower gave
one of his Justly celebrated
displays Of temper and when
Mr.. Johnston turned to Mr..
Nixon for help, upon his
astounded ears fell the Vice
Presidents comment: Its an
interesting idea - the first
I've heard of IT,"
On their way out, before
Mr.. Johnston had time to
take Mr.. Nixon to task for
apartness, Sherman Adams
joined the fray with a de-
nunciation Of both for try
ing to kill" the boss.
Adlai Stevenson seems UNI
able to hate anybody in this

New Soviet Premier Believed Certain
There Will Be q Summit Conference

Nikita Khrushchev stepped
into Stains shoes when he
assumed the Soviet premier
ship besides maintaining his
powerful position as secre-
tary general Of the Com
munist Party.
High officials in Washing
ton. while still uncertain
about the overall implications
Of this unexpected move, are
convinced that the Soviet
dictator feels a summit meet
ing is now certain and he
wants to be undisputed No. /
man Of the Soviet delegation.
Here tofore, Khrushchev
took only second place at
international gatherings al
though he was giving orders
to Bulganin.
There is still a division of
opinion in Washington re-
garding the holding of a sum-
NIT meeting in line with
Soviet demands. Some days
President Eisenhower sides
with Secretary Of State Dulles
that such a parley is doomed
to failure insofar as real re-

cerned unless definite agree

issues, are reached before

sisted on by Mr.. Dulles. When
he takes the latter position he
points to the pressure from
our Western allies AID espe-
cially from Britain.
Secretary Dulles predicates
his insistence on having the
hard constructive work done
by the foreign ministers on
the historical precedent OF
the Congress of Vienna in

1S14-l5. The result of that
international gathering after
the Napoleonic wars was an
unprecedented era of peace
and prosperity which lasted
100 years despite some local
conflicts which we now call
brush fires.
The Congress Of Vienna
was a summit meeting in the
true sense Of the word since
most Of the heads Of states
(sovereigns in those days.
attended it. But they were
for show; they had brilliant
receptions, spectacular balls
and banquets. The real work
was done by their foreign
ministers, Prince Metternich
Of Austria, Lord Castlereagh
Of Britain, Marquis Talley-
rand Of France, Count Har-
denberg Of Prussia, Counts
Nesselrode and Stein of Rus
STA. These men haggled and
bargained for months until
they finally established the
foundations Of an era of
peace and prosperity which
lasted until World War I
broke out in 1914.
It Is the Vienna kind of
summit meeting which Mr..
Dulles envisages. ANY ac-
ceptance Of the Soviet pro-
posals to hold a conference
Of the heads Of state only for
the sake Of getting together
might easily become a tragic
farce. Or would accomplish
only one thing-increase the
prestige Of the USSR and
further deteriorate Ameri-
cas-, particularly in the Mid
die and Far East where we
have so much at stake.
It is essential, says Mr..
Dulles officially and in pri-
vate talks with congressional
leaders. that we establish at
the foreign ministers level
not only an agenda but also
a definite agreement on q
number of questions such as

President Eisenhower may

his pointed remarks about
the need for better sales

improving the business situa-
ton.

press conference this week.
"that there is a great field
for expansion of business by
better salesmanship on the

to offer things in a better
packaged way-we've got to
do better advertising. :"

the headlines because 1t has
suffered a drop in sales. Yet

persons who bought a new
car had been contacted by a

instance, before the heads Of
state get together to put their
signatures on the agreements.
One of the reasons why the
Teheran and Yalta Confer
ences turned into a tragedy
for America and the free
world was the hasty and in
effective preparations for the
parleys insofar as the West
was concerned, while Marshal
Stain knew exactly what he
wanted and gained all his
detectives.
According to all indica-
tons. Premier Khrushchev
wants to make the sum-
nit conference an emotional
hinge where he will sing
loudly peace is wonderful"
while he has all the trump
cards in his hands. He is
relying for his success on the
now deeply imbedded feeling
in Western Europe that such
an international gathering is
unimportant from the polit-
ical point of view but may
yield important benefits to
the West from trade with the
East.
Khrushchev believes that
his barrage Of threats and
cajolings, Sputniks and letter
writing (by his former proxy,
Bulganin) have softened up,
if not American public opin-
ion, at least some important
persons in the West. The
time has come now, accord
ing to students Of the Krem-
Inns tactics, to really go to

Wet Union, Mr.. Khrushchev

Behold the glories of auto

Shorter work weeks, greater

it is amazing just how the

have advanced so far so fast.
Now, by attenuation, they
seem to know what program

tonight or next Sunday night.
If ] don't know. how can Mr..
Nielsen of Nielsen's TV re-
ports know? Maybe my wife
wants to see Maverick" in
stead of Steve Allen. / sure
can't tell anybody, but Tren-
dex and the American Re-
search Bureau know. Each
network program is carefully
and automatically rated as
to its public acceptance. by
various little devices showing
which programs the public is
listening to at that particu-
lar period.
And what Mr.. Nielsen or
Trendex know, they tell the
Madison Avenue advertising
cars, and then the Madison
Avenue advertising geniuses
tell the television networks,
and then I get Have Gun,
Will Travel" on my set.
Attenuation is simply Won
derful. No more guesswork in
TV programming-no strug-
gle with art or culture. no
worry about the discovery of
new talent, no fussing around
about new plays or new ideas.

have read Americas mind in
its television completes.
