the way things look at the moment. Therefore, his
recent visit to Washington took on all the aspects
of a romance-with Senators Kennedy, Humphrey
and Symington throwing him kisses, and Majority
Leader Lyndon Johnson also turning on the old
Texas charm.
The best guess in Washington is that Senator
Kennedy will pick up number of delegates by run

did. He is expected to into the Los Angeles

BABSN DISCUSSES

Babson Park, Mass, April 90.
Readers must be disturbed by the
contrary reports from Washington
about the employment situation.
One report claims there are more
employed today than there were a
year ago. - or perhaps ever while
another report says there, are more
unemployed than year ago. Prob
ably both of these claims, are cor
rect. 1t is easily possible, owing
to the natural growth in population
and to other factors which will
now enumerate: -
Four Reasons For Unemployment
ID Manufactureres, retailers, and
labor are pricing. themselves out
of business. Most investors put all
the blame on labor; but each
group wants more and tries to
raise prices or wages to secure
additional money. Finally, the pub
lie buys fewer goods, which re-
suits in retailers laying off clerks,
manufacturers laying off workers.
1t is a ..'merry-go-round," with all
groups to blame.
/ (2) Government imposes taxes for
defense, social security, old age,
pensions, farm and foreign aid,
rOadbuilding, etc. These taxes
make everyone mad and we. un-
consciously take it out on labor by
reducing the number of our en-
ployees.
(3) Foreign imports are con-
stantly increasing. Low wages in
Germany, Italy, Japan, and other
countries enable, these nations to
export to us all kinds of manu-
factured products at low prices

to raise prices or to reduce manu-
featuring costs. AS result certain
wageworkers are thrown out of
work. Might it not be fair to re-
.quired a period of time agreed
upon in advance before prices
are raised of any employees dis
charged? Surely the stockholders
should be willing to make some
temporary sacrifice when they
vote for these consultations.
(3) Both aging employers and
wageworkers should take advan-
tage of Social Security and gladly
retire from active work when
reaching sixty-five years of. age.
The simplest method of decreasing
unemployment would be to reduce
the legal work week to 35 hours /;
but this would result in more for
eign imports and "the cure would
be worse than the disease" Please
note that I include the older Off
icers of corporations as well as
the wageworkers. To reduce un-
employment among the younger
groups, more of them should be
sent to college.
(4) Let me close by saying that
the basic difficulty is that both
employers and wageworkers are
in "cold wars" with other nations.
These economic wars will be set
tied fairly only when all groups
are willing to give and take. I"
Employers, wageworkers, and con-
sumers must all be willing to a
bide by the Golden Rule rather
than use force; strikes are only
legalized wars. Also, all Of use
must be willing to fight the liquor
evil, which is one of the causes of
unemployment.

the foreign manufacturers pay the
import duties. Yet we dare not
raise these duties for fear these
nations will cease to be our allies
and turn to Russia. Every store
in your city is carrying some i'm
ported goods. When you buy them,
you are putting good American
wageworkers out of job, Yet we
must buy these goods or Russia
will get the business and we will
lose valuable friend.
ca Many manufacturers are
either building plants abroad to
hire very efficient workers at very
low wages or are adopting auto

sevice" and build great super
markets. These changes throw more
wageworkers out of employment.
Four Ways To Increase
Employment
1) I believe in the American
wageworker. He is fair and in
telligent. Unfortunately, however,
his union leader knows that to
hold his own job, at $4,000 per
year, he must get wage increases
for his members. This he does by
forcing members to agree to his
threats to employees by the use
of standing votes. The most help
full thing Congress could do for
wageworkers and consumers would
be to legislate that all strike votes
shall be by secret ballot.
(2) The u. S. Justice Depart
ment should be encouraged to pre-
vent monopolies by unnecessary
consultations. When employers
combine, they usually do so either

Diets, Diets Everybodys
Doing 1t

In 1879 we, and the younger gen.
Grafton, will look back on the late
1950's and call the period the Diet
ing SOS" according to Mrs. Mar
jorie Whitaker, nutrition special
ist with the Extension Service at
the University of Delaware.
Mrs. Whitaker said many people
are being sold some pretty crazy
reducing methods nowadays. Ac-
tually there is no easy, one answer
method to dieting.
The nutrition specialist shot some
holes in some of the ideas being
tossed about at bridge clubs.
For example: Water doesn't make
you fat. 1t doesn't have calorie
to the bath-tub-full.
Toast has just as many calories
as untoasted bread.
Cutting salt in your diet as q
weight losing measure is silly and
can be harmful. A doctor may or
der a saltless diet for some kinds
of ailments but it is not necessar-
lily weight-losing prescription.
Milk, potatoes and bread need not
be cut out of your menu. The gravy,
butter and jam that goes on top is
what does the expansion job to
your =. In fact, Mrs. Whitaker
says, milk is a good diet food. Nom
fat dry milk is a good buy at about
nine cents a quart Buttermilk is
a low calorie drink, too.
Watch your sugar intake, she
warns. Some people think high
sugar snack before a meal will cut
appetite. 1t will, but you have al
ready taken in more calories than
your lowered appetite will COM
pensate for.
You don't have to buy expensive
speciality diet foods either. Canned
fruits are not high in calories; the
heavy sugar syrup they are can
ned in is. If you eat the fruit and
not the syrup, you will be just as
well off and somewhat richer than
if you eat special diet" canned
fruits.
The same thing applies to meats.
High priced meats are no lower in
calories than cheap cuts. The fat
content is the difference.
Mrs. Whitaker had one last
word of advice for dieters.
Don't be a martyr. Don't make
everyone sorry for you. Just think
how much better you'll look on the
beach this summer when you trim
those pounds"

A Party Struggle

A struggle for control is now raging within the

come of this struggle will have direct bearing on
the outcome of the Democratic convention in Los
Angeles in 1860.
The present National Committee chairman Paul
Butler, has so far been successful in choosing Los
Angeles as the site of the 1860 convention and in
beating back attempts of some who would rebuke
some of his actions and discredit his leadership.

All State Expands
Into Commercial Field

AlIstate Insurance Companies to-
day expanded into the commercial
insurance field in Delaware with
the start of sale of two policies FOL
businesses and property owners.
A. M. Hasso, Philadelphia Branch
regional manager of Allstate said
commercial fire and Commercial
liability insurance will be sole
through the companies same agen'
cy force, which offers personal au'
to, residential fire, family liability
and other non-commercial insur'
ance cOverages.
Fire insurance on public and
business buildings and their con-
tents will be sold at rates substan-
tally below those charged by most
other companies, Hasso announced
With its commercial fire pro-
gram, Allstate will insure such pub
lie properties as schools, churches
and hospitals. Office buildings
stores and other mercantile proper
lies also will be insured.
'Allstate's commercial liability
program will provide manufac-
turers' and contractors liability
owners and tenants liability, pro-
ducts liability and garage liability
coverages. All of these policies will
be available at rates substantially
below those charged by most other
companies, Hasso said"
The new commercial liability

against business losses for which
a person or corporation is legally
liable. Losses included are those
resulting from injury to persons
and damage to property due to the
ownership or the conduct of a bus1-
ness, Hasso explained.
Entry of AlIstate into the COM
mercial insurance field means that
sizeable savings can be achieved
by both large and small business
enterprises in obtaining insurance
backed by one of the largest stock
companies" Hasso said.
Commercial fire and commercial
liability are among the eight new
insurance fields entered by the
rapidly growing Allstate companies
during the past twenty-six months.
The commercial policies have re-
ceived an excellent reception"
from business organizations in the
states where they have been offer
