Says
It's Hard TO Believe
BUT TRUE

According to a report in the
New York Times on August
2-in the past few years the
average rate of return on
sales for manufacturing
companies has been about
SO. But the rate of return
for US Steel for the first
half of 1859 was 1917.
In last two years, US Steel
employment was reduced by
Fl, 900 while steel ship
ments increased by more
than 32%o.
US Steel increased steel
prices % times since World
War ii.
Profits per ton of steel
shipped increased by $3.50
a ton since 1857, about $40
a ton since 1866, by over SIT
since 1858, and almost SGT
since 1947. US Steel's re-
turn on net worth amounts
to 1879, five times greater
than 20 years ago.
In the most recent three
month period in 1859, US
Steel shipped steel products
at a record annual rate of
800 million tons with
250,S10 employees. AS re-

Profits before taxes are over

a year. This year, US Steel
profits equal an annual rate
of S4,345 per employee, an
increase of $1,000 a year
per employee over previous
best in 1857.
Inc total payroll cost per
ton of steel shipped is $500
a ton less than in 1857, the
former record profit year.

of steel prices does not mean
a price freeze. US Steel in
the past raised prices by as

US Steels 1859 profits
amount to over 1928 per

growth of SGT per man over
prior record two years ago.
Statement of US Steel's
chairman that he does not
intend to raise the general"
level of prices this year is
not quite the ''hOld.the-line"
position he pretends, be-
cause:

Commissioners Seek
More Control Over
School Budget Levy

County Commissioners from the
four Western Maryland counties,
met last Thursday at Deep Greek
Lodge at McHenry, and decided
that they lacked control over the
school budgets in their respective
counties.
The four-county group voted to
hold its next session in Frederick
in November.
A feeling was expressed at the
meeting that new Legislation may
be needed to give the commission
ers stronger say in what is done
by the county school boards.
The Garrett county commission
ers said they use so cents out of
each tax dollar for schools. Frede-
rick commissioners report they
had cut the last school budget a
flat five percent and told the Board
of Education to decide where to
make the cuts
Figures in the annual levy list
adopted by the Allegany County
commissioners showed that ST.
2O64 or 54.3 percent of each 1922 in
county taxes collected goes for
schools.

Approaching the Precipice

Approaching the Precipce
One short month from now, the
most powerful Communist in the
world, a clever, astute and cocky
dictator, who believes in Lenin as
most Americans believe in the
Bible, will visit the United States.
Nikita Khrushchev is the com
mander of the most powerful
army, the largest air force and
the biggest submarine fleet in the
world. He is the modern car of
the earth's second strongest ma
ton which he believes to be the
strongest. Keeping these facts in
mind, what can be the effect of
such a visit upon such a man?
Can it be argued that a dinner
in the White House will cause
him to forget that we have mis-
sile bases stationed in tight
Gordon around the Soviet Union?
Will tour of an automobile fac
tory lead him to forgive" the
Congress for recently passing a
resolution endorsing a Captive Ma
TONS week and, since suggesting
A Captive Nations Year? Will he
accept what is told and shown
him about Americas strength,
solidarity and determination? Or
will Comrade Nikita trained and
circumscribed by Communist theol-
ogy for fifty years, believe what
he wants to believe, see what he
wants to see, conclude what he
wants to conclude? Has there ever
been a leader of a revolutionary
movement who was persuaded to
change his views through talks
and trips through a charming coun-
trySide? Or rather has that revolu-
tionary not smiled at his opponent
and when the others head was
turned, separated it from his
shoulders by sword, guillotine or
hydrogen bomb?
1t would be pleasant to presume
that person-to-person diplomacy
can lead to a solution of the
power impasse between the U. S.
S. r. and the U. S., but is has
been four short years since the
Geneva conference when the Presi-
dent met with this same Soviet

which involves construction OF
three proposed dams in the county.
One is to be located four miles
west of Bloomington, covering L.
O30 acres. Another on Stony river
will cover 10 acres. The third will
be on Savage River, above the
present dam. This will cover $50
acres. Senator Gender said that a
complete survey of the Potomac
River from its source to Harpers
Ferry is under way.
A legislative committee on water
ways has scheduled a meeting at
the William-J ames hotel in Oak
land Wednesday, August 26, at 6
p. m, to discuss the Potomac
River and Savage river proposals.
At the morning session last
Thursday Edward McDOnOugh,
chief highway design engineer,
Baltimore county, discussed feder-
al aid for secondary roads and the
requirements which the counties
must meet to get funds. Also dis
cussed was the matter of weight
limits on county roads. Garrett and
Allegany counties outlined their
troubles and damage done by
heavy trucks. The county's attorney
has ruled that the county has au-
thority to set limits on its roads.

An open house" type program

opportunity to meet and talk with
Mr.. Dodd. He has been in the

Oakland. Mr.. Dodd will have COM
pletely circled the globe by the
time he gets home as he leaves
the United States on October q

native land.
The International Farm Youth
Exchange program grew from the
desire of All young people after
W. w. II to make sure such de-
struction would never happen
again. l. F. Y. f. began on the
premise that to have peace there
must first be understanding be-
tween people of the world
1t was decided that there was no
better way to do this than through
the daily sharing by rural people
of another rural way of life. Mr.
Dodd is a farmer by occupation
working with dairy, breeding swine
and sheep. BY living in another
land the IFYE participant learns
not only to understand that way
of life but also increases his UNI
derstanding of himself and his own

Scientists Ready
For Lake Invasion
Early Next Month

One hundred scientists, wildlife
experts, and volunteers are plan
ming a seven-day invasion of Deep
Greek Lake early in September TO
find out exactly why fishing there
is so much better this year than
in the recent past.
The amphibious force of investi-
gators will descend September 8
on Hoop Pole Cove. They will
man a fleet of 80 to 40 boats and
distribute 100 pounds of rotenone,
fish-suffocating agent. AT least
two thousand spectators are eX-
pected to witness the fish census
taking.
Fleet Admiral" will be Harold
j. Elser, fishery biologist Of the
Maryland Department of Research
and Education, the states sci
entific fact-fishing agency on liv-
ing natural resources. Elser'S de-
partment, the Department of Game
and Inland Fish, and Deep Creek
improvement associations are joint
ly sponsoring the investigation.
The glowing reports on this
years catches are backed up to
some extent by preliminary sci
entific spot checks, ElSer con-
/ firmed.
"As a matter of fact. we have
evidence that fishing may be even
better in 1860" he said
By comparison. the preceding
eight years fishing experience has
rated the lake one of the poorest
in the state. I'VE rotenoned Hoop
Pole Cove in 1855 and discovered
what we think was the major rea-
son." the scientist continued I'VE
took 5000 pounds of fish, of which
70 percent by weight was yellow
perch, or $4,000 in number. Most
were stunted, showing they were
overcroWded and underfeG."
A fish stocking and management
operation was begun in 1856. Preda-
tory fish, chain pickerel, northern
pike, walleyes, and striped bass,
were introduced the same year in
| hopes they would cut down on the
yellow perch population.
Spot checks in 1859 showed the
perch to be averaging an inch
longer than 1855, indicating re-
duction in population. Credit for
this improvement is tentatively
granted the stocking program, but
Elser feels that only the large
scale check in September will pro-
vide the final answer More i'm
portant, the investigation will in
dictate what program should be
adopted to make fishing better.
Teams of specialists are sched-
uled to begin spreading the rotten

Roger Babson's Business and
Financial Forecast for 1860 will
again appear in The Bluffton
News, with publication scheduled
for the January 81, issue of the
paper.
Mr.. Babson's 1860 forecast will
cover such topics as general
business, commodity prices, tax
es, trade, labor, imitation, farm
outlook, stock market, real es-
tate and politics.
Unusual accuracy has been the
Babson record. His score on 1859
predictions was 81 percent ac-
curacy and over the past 10
years he has averaged 85.2 per-
cent accuracy. Over the 20 years
of the forecast he has averaged
86.1 percent accuracy and has
been as high as 95 percent cor
rect.
Babson founded the Babson
Institute for Men and in CO.
operation with his late wife
developed Webber College for
Women, nationally known busi-
ness administration schools. He
has also founded a Midwest In
stitute of Business Administra-
ton.
His weekly releases are used
by over 400 newspapers and his
financial reports by 10000 coy
porations and estates. His, re-
search is carried on by a staff
of experts under his direction.
Babson probably has done
more than any other man to
create an interest in simple bust
ness problems among his many
newspaper readers, enabling
them to understand the ups and
downs of the business cycle.
