BROKERAGE OFFICE HERE


WHEN THESE ISLANDS get to the place where
they can afford a brokerage office, then they are doing
well, and indeed looking up. No firm Of investment So
l~icitors would venture to establish an Office unless they
had previously surveyed the situation and determined
that both the time and other conditions were right.
IN SEEKING TO establish a branch Of a brokerage
firm in these parts those primarily concerned must
have been convinced that there is here the type of I'M
committed funds which could safely be put into invest
ments, For it is clear that to invest there must be the
means with which to do SO, and that entails the type Of
funds which are over and above those set aside for emer-
gency and other uses.
WHILE THE SITUATION can be nothing like in the
big industrial areas of the north, this move says some
thing, and something significant. First, there is the ne
cessary sophistication & understanding in large enough
numbers to warrant the establishment Of a branch, and
secondly, there is indication that there are funds for
these purposes.
AS TIME PASSES and as education in this respect
is expanded, it follows that the picture will improve.
Other facilities will come, and business will take on a
new and different look. With a firm of experts on the
scene to serve those most directly concerned, the natural
sequence will be a greater concern for, and interest and
participation in the entire American economy.
BUT THERE is more. One can envision local and
area business taking on the character Of American bust
ness, with its fascinating corporate aspects. This step is
a significant one, and well worth watching. It opens up
new vistas and approaches to the business aspects Of
these Islands, all Of which should be for our betterment,
economically and otherwise

Takes Auto Ride
With Gov. Long

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, July %
CAP Gov. Earl Long OF Lou
isiana ditched a bunch of trail
ing newsmen and his police es-
cort last night and took an
automobile ride with a pretty
divorce. Then, after a mid
night chat with her, he re-
turned to his hotel room.
Today he planned to take a
thermal bath and visit the
"Jot- En- Down" store at Pine
Ridge. Ark, made famous by

team.
After their drive, Mrs. Ann
Billings, about 35, auburn
haired divorce from Memphis,
Tenn, said their talk was de-
lightful.
I'VE talked about politics"
she told newsmen. Hes got a
brilliant mind; I don't care
what they say"
Mrs. Billings, on vacation
here, said she had made no fu-
ture engagements with the
Governor.
Mrs. Billings and Gov. Long
met earlier yesterday in the
hotel lobby.

Congress abolish the Housing

charged that the President was

get better information by deal

Mr.. Dollar said his organiza-

Meanwhile, Miss Dunn'S at

they would advise Miss Dunn

Miss Dunn, said they will seek
a hearing before Corporation
Counsel Clark King.

Mr.. Dollar defended Miss
Dunn,s right to dress as she
pleased while using her taxi or
a personal errand, whether ir
service or out. He said an In
ternal Revenue Service ruling
indicates taxicab drivers are
expected to use their cabs fol

HC ICPOlJ has OuuoCu w
and in Government depart
ments and agencies, as well as
among Federal employe leaders.
For example, Government en-
ploye leaders for years have
contended that the productivity
OF Federal workers has been in
creasing, but never have had
any specific way Of proving it..
The increased productivity ar
gument has always been made
in pay raise drives.
AS far as known. Mr.. Lytton'S
study is the first ever made Of
Federal employee productivity
rates.
Mr.. Lytton's analysis was
based on computations pre-
pared by five Government
agencies that employ $793,000
workers.
They are the Post Office De-
partment, the Veterans Admin
istration, the Internal Revenue
Service. the Social Security
Administration and the Agricul-
ture Departments Commodity
Sterilization Service.
The five agencies showed
average annual improvements
ranging from a IA per cent a
year productivity increase in
the Post Office to 8 per cent IN
the Commodity Sterilization
Service.
Mr.. Lytton notes that when
the Post Office completes its
program of installing various
modern machinery and equip
ment, the productivity rate
will increase substantially.
A workers productivity is
generally defined as his output
in an hour.
Mr.. Lytton noted that Ma
tional Bureau of Economic Re-
search figures show that pro-
ductivity among employees in
private industry rose by an
average of 81 per cent a year
for the last IL years, as COM
pared to the 2.15 per cent Gov
eminent employe average pre-
viously mentioned.
One of the reasons for in
dustry's better record may be
IN the fact that it has convert
ed more rapidly to machines
and other automatic devices
than the Government, which
must move more slowly owing
to the fact that such CONVEX
sions require appropriations by
Congress, Mr.. Lytton noted.

Reversal Of
Housing Veto
BY J. A. O'LEARY
Star stan Writer

Organized labor asked Con-
gress today to override Presi-
dent Eisenhower's veto Of the
omnibus housing bill.
President George Meany Of
the AFL-CIO told the Senate
Housing Subcommittee the
measure described as eXtrava-
CANT by the President repre-
sents the minimum Congress
should authorize for urban re-
newal and low-rent public
housing.
The subcommittee. headed
by Senator Sparkman, Demo-
crat of Alabama, will not decide
until the hearings end Friday
whether to try to override, or
draft a compromise new bill.
The Democrats would have a
good chance of mastering the
two-thirds required to override
the veto in the Senate, but
their decision will depend on
whether they find they have
enough votes in the House.
Cost Is Issue
The big point of controversy
between the President and the
Democrats is whether the bill,
should be judged by its immedi-
ate effect on the 1860 budget
or by the ultimate cost Of the
subsidies in the program.
The Democrats say that when
the President estimated the
cost of the bill at $2.2 billion he
included Federal payments or
public housing that will be
spread over 40 years.
In his testimony today Mr.
Meany estimated the cost fol
the current year at 500 million
Senator Sparkman has said il
will not exceed $24 million. Mr.
Meany said his figure woulc
be less than one-tenth OF
per cent of the current budget
The labor leader said the
vetoed bill is needed to helI
relieve unemployment as vel
as to provide for families being
displaced by. urban renewa
projects.
100000 Jobs
He estimated it would create
100000 jobs. The jobs ART
needed, he said, because, de-
spite improved conditions il
recent months, there are still
4 million full-time unemployed
He said this is 40 per cent O.

Perle Mesta tossed a party
last night for Actress Shirley
Booth, and, before the eve
ming was over, Shirley had
done q soft shoe solo, the
Castle Walk with young
Playwright Speed Lamkin.
and a sister act dance with
Mrs. Mesta to the tune Of
"St. Louis Blues"
She did it all with the
same fair and superb pro-
lection she puts into her
stage performance, much to
everyone's delight. OF course,
it takes a hostess like Perle
to create the atmosphere
that brings forth this kind of
fun and frolicking.
The impromptu entertain
ment came after Miss Booth
announced that she is with
drawing from "A Loss of
Roses when it finishes its
Washington run at the Ma
tional in two weeks. She is
leaving because she is billed
as the star of the play but
hers is not the star role.
Carol Haney actually has the
star role. Miss Booth even
asked that Carol be CO.
starred with her, but the
idea was not accepted.
MISS BOOTH FEELS, as
have some in the audience,
that the play would contain
a powerful message if it we're
properly developed. It could
show American mothers how
to avoid the kind of
momism that does irrepa-
rable harm to their sons.
In the meantime the play
is going through improve
ments that probably will
make it a hit on Broadway.
But the long hours of re-
hearsing as it takes shape for
its New York opening have
put Miss Haney in bed with
a fever, so she missed last
nights gay soiree.

Mrs. Farwell is lifelong

last summer.

the above had a twirl to

how she exchanged the poodle
she won at the Junior League

Dorothy was mad for a

said, is the only man in South
American history who had

and the armed forces behind
him and set up a democratic
