Transit Funds
Go 10 Reserves

The Public Utilities Commits
sion has ordered the d c.
Transit System to set aside in
depreciation reserves $6l3,66l
the company had hoped to
keep as part Of profits on the
sale Of its Southwest car barns.
In a ruling yesterday the
Commission held that the
transit firm could not claim
any depreciation on the prop
erty which was sold to the Re-
development Land Agency for
$3.3 million earlier this year.
The original cost Of the de-
probable property. exclusive of
certain machinery, was $1,077,-
824. The Commission pointed
out that the property actually
had not deprecated.
The company already has
placed $464.162 in its deprecia-
ton reserves out Of proceeds
Of the sale. The additional
$613,661 to be added increases
the transfer in the amount of
the full original cost.
The depreciation fund-now
totalling some $50 millions
earmarked for replacement of
worn out equipment and losses
due to wear and tear.
By requiring the sum to be
placed in the depreciation re-
serve, the Commission order
thus reduces the size of the
company's rate base.

Wholesale Food
Price Index Falls

NEW YORK, Oct. / (AP)-
Wholesale food prices sank to
another 1859 low this week,
Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, re-
ported yesterday.
The organizations food index
dipped to $5.91 from last weeks
$5.93, which had equalled the
previous 1859 bottom. Four
successive lows were recorded
in July and another in August.
The current reading again
is the lowest since $3.50 in
March, 1856. Earlier that year
the index got as low as $3.50,
which was the lowest since
May, 1850.
The index represents the
total cost at wholesale at one
pound each of 81 foods in gen.
eral use.
Increases outnumbered de-
clines among individual foods
this week, but two of the latter
(steers and hogs) are heavily
weighted because of their i'm
portance. Others declining
were wheat, butter, cottonseed
oil, eggs and potatoes.

AS of mid-September-the

He did not bet on an I'M

SBA Pamphlet Advises
Watch Your Cash

Watch Your Cash is the title
of a new leaflet being dis
tributed to small firms by A. H.
Doll, branch manager for the
Small Business Administra-
ton in this area.
Many small plant managers
overlook the fact that in a
time of prosperity and expan-
sion they have to watch their
cash more carefully than ever, /"
the pamphlet advises.
MANY put off studying their
cash needs because they think
it will be difficult and costly.
Even though other assets may
be in good condition, there are
no substitutes for cash."

James p. Mitchell, Secretary
Of Labor. is now facing the
unpalatable gastric challenge
Of eating his hat on the steps
Of the Labor Department build
ing in November.
Strictly as a result of the
steel strike, the odds are heavi-
ly against unemployment fall
ing below 3 million in the week
of october IL through October
l7-when the hat-eating CEN
sus of unemployment
ment will be taken.
1t was last April z at a job
less rally in Washington the
hat-eating episode began. ALL
CLIO President George Meany
and other labor leaders had
been denouncing the admins
tration for its indifference to-
ward the unemployed. Then it
came Mr.. Mitchell's turn to
present the defense and after
a short, concliatory speech,
the Labor Secretary turned to
Mr.. Meany and declared that
if unemployment was not down
from MARGINS 4,352,000 to 8
million or less in October, ION
the steps of the Labor Depart
ment I will eat that hat you
said ! was talking through :"
When he made that pledge,
Mr.. Mitchell was on sound
ground. But since April we've
had the longest steel strike in
history.
Even if the mills are going
again by the week of October
II, the secondary effects of
the strike will continue far
beyond that.
AS Seymour Wolfbein, Deputy
Secretary of Labor, emphasized
when I checked him on this,
Although strikers aren't
counted as unemployed, work.
ers laid off as a result of the
strike certainly are counted.
It'll be weeks after the mills are
in full production before cor
porationS which have had to
cut operations due to steel
shortages will be back to their
full output and will be calling
back all workers laid off. The
loss in incomes has become a
major factor"
Had the strike ended quickly,
would unemployment now be
way down?
Definitely. The underlying
trends in employment and I'M
employment have been excel
lent"
We were all set for a solid
upsurge to new economic peaks

not as helpful in solving prob
lens as specifics are. It really
ism t mature thinking to say: ALL

mans are Nazis. All women
You see? It's much more intel
ligent to meet a German, a Jap
anese-and to Judge each indi-

decide.
We can judge each colored per-

Not for mel" On the other hand
maybe, THAT one? Say he's good
at football, he does want to study
he would like to have the same
breaks in life that I have"
Believe me, Alex, I don't like
Negroes COR Protestants, or bank
ers, or butchers just because
they're Negroes or Protestants or
bankers or butchers. I just hap
pen to be an American, as you
are q assumed. And, well, it kind
of hurts my pride in America to
see any group Of people having
doors shut in their faces.
A guy should be able to move
on his own merits don't YOU
think? If he can't make the foot
