DEAR ABBY
A Letter Is Urgently Needed
BY ABIGAIL VAN BUREN,

DEAR ABBY: A neighbor
OF ours is caring for a sweet
little old lady who is a semi
invalid. This old lady is a
close relative land I'm not
saying how close because I
don't want anyone to recog-
niEe the case) of a person
who is high UP in show BUSH
ness. This famous person in
show business sends $4,000
every month for the care of
this old lady. She is not get
ting that care. I've gone over
there at night and found her
all alone in the house, Sleep
ing in a chair. II a fire broke
out she wouldn't have a
chance. I've walked in and
seen her eating cold cream
of wheat for her supper. My
husband says I should mind
my own business. What
would you do?
NEIGHBOR
] would send a registered
letter marked urgent and
Confidential" to the person
paying for her care. I'd state
the facts and sign my name.
DEAR ABBY: When a
man marrieS a girl who is
fresh out Of college, he
doesn't expect her to be the
worlds greatest cook and
muSekeeper. But how much
brains does a woman need
to know that she shouldn't
starch her husbands under
wear?

ton. Give her time.

please tell me why my hus-
band has to have pictures
Of naked girls hanging up all

ABA President Lee P. Miller
of Louisville, KY, said 142 mu-
tual savings banks have not yet
paid membership fees and some
are waiting to see how they'll
be treated at the convention.
.(Stephen Slipher, legisla-
tive director of the United
States Savings g. Loan
League, said here that the
Mason bill, now pending in
the House Ways and Means
Committee, would weaken
District of Columbia savings
and loan associations. He
said it would make taxable
all ALLEGATIONS to reserves OF
such associations above 5 per
cent of conventional loans
and would also place taxes on
that portion of the dividend
that exceeds 70 per cent of
the associations income.)

The reason? While the steel

hundreds Of thousands laid off
in other industries as a result
of the strike were counted. Who
would have expected layoffs at
General Motors alone last week
to be above COCOON the face
of a terrifically bright outlook
for auto sales and intense pub
lie interest in the 1860 models?
Yet, the fundamental point
is that considering the pro-
longed steel strike and the ex-
tent Of the secondary layoffs,
employment in our Nation has
held up remarkably well. This
is the truth-but the statistics
won't show it.
As another illustration, the
new figures will show personal

Lies

There are three kinds Of
lies: Lies, damned lies and sta
tistics." (Author unknown.)
In the weeks directly ahead
you'll be getting spectacular
evidence Of what the cynical
originator Of that quip meant
all because Of the agonizing-
ly long steel strike.
For just about every major
indicator Of the economic trend
in our nation is now distorted,
and the distortions will con-
tinue for months.
Many of the statistics will be
telling downright "lies" about
what's happening to incomes
jobs, production, profits, etc.
in this period. What's more, il
will be enormously difficult to
explain the lies without re-
sorting to bafflegab. The dis
tortions in themselves might
well do great harm to the psy-
chology of businessmen and
consumers. Consider 80.
The reports on business
which will be making 'front.'
page news all next month will
be suggesting incorrectly that
the economy in general is in q
sharp downturn and recession
is spreading through the land
The key to this is the fact
the statistics coming out in
November will be rejecting
what happened in October
and during most of this month
the steel mills have been shut
down.
AS an illustration, the new
figures on unemployment will

business which will be making
front page news as the year
ends will be suggesting incor-
rectly that the economy in gen.
eral again has taken off on a
great, exuberant upsurge, and
imitation is an immediate
threat.
The key to this will be the
fact that the statistics then
coming out will be rejecting (it
is now expected the feverisn
activity in industry next month
as corporations fight to rebuild
their depleted steel inventories.
Every user of steel will be
scrambling for supplies. The
rush to get iron ore to the mills
before the Great Lakes freeze
will be furious. Overtime, longer
work weeks will be highly prob
able in the coal industry. Other
industries will be in a frenzy,
too.
Yet. the fundamental point
will be that the feverish activi-
ty will be a direct result of the
shortages created by the strike.
The picture won't be nearly as
splashy as it may look.
In an attempt to hold on to
my balance during this season
of distortion, I'm sticking to
these basic thoughts:
We were in a solid, sound
business upswing before the
steel strike and it appeared to
have plenty of life left in it.
We are still in an upswing
although its shape and dura-
ton may have been changed
by the extent of the strike.
Our country is not going to
be stupid or numb enough to
allow the steel dispute to shift
us from a sturdy boom to an
other recession.

year before the last recession
