CIVIL RIGHTS STRATEGY

1t is clearly apparent now that Senate
Democratic leadership (meaning primarily
Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson)
would prefer to enact civil rights legislation
by Senate acceptance of a House-passed civil
rights bill.
1t will be recalled that at the beginning
of this session Democratic leadership in both
houses exerted pressure on the lower House
to produce civil rights bill. However, this
was blocked largely by the House Rules Com
mittee, which is headed by Representative
Howard Smith of Virginia.
In return for certain key support in the
House last year, Republicans in the House
felt obligated to support Southerners on the
House Rules Committee preferred not
to initiate civil rights legislation in the House
this year. Thus, in the House Rules Com
mittee, forces stood to A, in favor of the
Republicans and Southerners, against bring
ing out civil rights bill at this time.
Then, debate began on February Is in
the Senate. Meanwhile, the drive to enlist
signatures on a Discharge Petition, in the
House, continued.
Some 219 signatures are needed to dis
charge a bill from its committee and thus
the Rules Committees role would be elimi-
mated
BY February 18, on the fourth day of civil
rights debate in the Senate signatures on the
209
Representative Charles Halleck, Indiana
Republican, who leads the minority forces in
the House, conferred with House Republi-
cans, telling them that all Republicans who
had not signed the petition would be in trou-
ble-if the necessary 219 names we're ac-
quired on the petition. And, it began to look,
in the second and third weeks in February,
as if the needed names might be acquired.
Thereupon, Republican members of the
House Rules Committee withdrew their op-
position to initiation of civil rights bill in
the House this year, and Representative
Smith was left with but three Southern allies
in the key committee. The committee then
voted rather unexpectedly, to clear House
civil rights bill to the floor on March 10.
This changed the situation somewhat dra-
matically, and it may be that the Senate will
allow House bill to be passed and sent to the
Senate, before Senate Majority Leader John
son goes all-out in his efforts to ram through
a Senate version of civil rights bill.

Loss Of Confidence Caused BY
Steel Settlement
There's an even more important
danger to our economy than the
possible attractiveness of higher
interest rates in other nations.
Should a new easy-money policy be
adopted at time when our govern
ment is running heavy internation-
al deficits, owners of dollars in
other nations could lose confidence
in theability of the U. S. to man.

to convert their dollars to gold.
Whatever the cause, heavy gold
Withdrawals from the U. S. would
drain off the gold backing for our
banking system-a situation which
is the normal forerunner of a mon
ey panic. For the first time since
World War II, therefore, the be-
ginning of the next business re-
cession may find our money man
ayers powerless to take effective
anti-slusnp action!
During my recent trip to Europe
I was impressed by the fear which
European bankers feel about the
control that labor leaders posses in
the u. S. and South America. These
business leaders believe we are
headed for a Labor Government
and Socialism. This also under
mines confidence in the American
dollar. Since the steel corporations
gave in" to political pressure
from both the White House and
Congress, other nations no longer
respect us. When the next depress-
ion comes, will the money managers
or the labor managers win? Unless
we wake up, the fear of Russia, in
fiation, taxes, and labor may lick us

A PRINCE is BORN

Church bells, cannon and bonfires recent
ly welcomed the birth of a son to Queen Eliza
beth ii. 1t was the first time reigning SOW
ereign had given birth to child in England
since 1857.
The new prince, who probably will be the
Duke of York later in life, becomes second in
line of succession to the throne following
Charles, Prince of Wales. His sister, Prin-
cess Anne, becomes third in line
interestingly, Prince Philip, Duke of Ed
inburgh, announced the birth to group of
Palace servants and then Immediately tele-
phoned the Prince of Wales, who was at
school, and then took Princess Anne to see
the baby. Bonnie Prince Charlie, as Prince
Charles is called, arrived at the Palace that
night, to visit his brother.
1t is always interesting and somewhat
touching to view the sentiment and loyalty
exhibited by British subjects on an occasion
of this kind. AS reported from London, taxi
drivers and ordinary wOrkmen were as in
terested in the birth as if it had involved a
member of their own family.
1t is that mystical feeling of kinship with
the Royal Family that so often emanates
Britain, and which has so often proven vital
tie of unity in times of distress, in evidence
all over again.
While the future Duke of York will prob
ably never become King, it should be remen-
bered thatya second son became King in re-
cent timeS-when King George vi succeeded
Edward, who abdicated in the thirties. The
present Queen Elizabeth, the eldest daughter
of the late King George, thus became Queen
through an unexpected development in the
Royal Family. The new prince, therefore,
always faces the possibility that he might
become King, and his training will reflect
this possibility.
Undoubtedly, however, the new prince
will be OvershadOwed-thrOu the early
part of his life, and perhaps throughout all
of it-by Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales,
who is in line to succeed to the throne. Just
as Princess Margaret has been overshadowed
by her elder sister, the Queen, a second son
must mainly bask in the glory of the elder
son, and observe his grooming for the ascen-
sion to the throne.

Babson Park, Mass, Mar. 8. My
associate John Henry, Editor of our
Washington Forecast, feels strongly
that the American people are fool
ing themselves by overconfidence
in the Federal Reserve Board
they believe that by some magic
our nation can avoid further de-
pressions.
Is The Money Market
All-POwerfuI
Let me relay Mr.. Henry's
thoughts. The notion has become
widespread that the easing and
Tightening of money and credit by
the FRB can eliminate the danger
Gus hills and valleys in our econ
omic progress-thereby keeping in
flation reasonably in hand and bar
ring anything more serious than
occasional mild recessions. This
conclusion is supported by recent
history
Since World War II, we have had
three business recessions-1949-
1854, and 1857. In each case, the
FRB hastened to curb the decline
by making money and credit more
plentiful and cheaper. Conversely,
the Fed restricted money and credit
whenever spiraling initiation be-
came a threat. 81 .es~ go
Another Depression In The

Although there has been a ten
dency for each business decline
since the war to be a little more
severe than its predecessor, none
has been even remotely comparable
to those of 1897 and earlier How
ever, the Federal Reserve has been
given most of the credit for keeping
these recessions midland for
turning them into periods of recoV-
cry.

Safety Council News

Let us put first things first in
our attack on traffic accidents
and by that mean let's put moral
ity into our driving!"
This plea for a basic approach to
the problem of traffic accidents was
voiced yesterday by the Reverend
Edmund F. Julien, Superintendent
of Schools for the Catholic Diocese
of Wilmington, speaking as direc-
tor of the Delaware Safety Council.
s'It is vain to enact traffic laws
and try to enforce them If so many
of our people continue to maintain
their present immoral attitude to-
ward traffic conduct" Father Julien
said.
He scored the lax moral attitude
of people who treat traffic Offenses
lightly. He said that many individ-
uals who condemn unethical- busi-
ness practices and boorish social
actions condone traffic irrespons-
ible traffic conduct
Traffic conduct cannot be divor-
ced from other conduct" he said.
Most traffic violations carry with
in them the seeds of serious acci-
dents, and the appalling traffic
toll will mount unless drivers can
be made to see the relationship be-
tween irresponsible traffic conduct
and the annual slaughter on our
streets"
He said the Safety Council wish
es to impress upon drivers the ne
cessity of facing up to their res
possibilities and to build public
support for the stepping up of en-
forcement by the police and the
courts.
until society views killing with
vehicle in the same light as 1t
views killing with gun, it cannot
expect any appreciable reduction in
the traffic toll" Father Julien said.
He advises motorists to put NOR
al responsibility into their driving
by observing the following rules:
Drive at safe speed SO that you
can stop quickly when necessary.
Obey all traffic laws and regula-
tions.
Scan the road ahead carefully.
Glance frequently in the rear
view mirror.
Keep a safe distance from the
car ahead
Yield the right of way readily.
Keep a constant look out for Pc
destrians.
Do your utmost to prevent an
accident-regardless of who is in
error.

Here are main points in filing
your 1859 income tax return which
must be in, along with any tax
owed, by midnight, April Is.
The rules are the same as last
years except new tax form
1040W-has been added as a con-
venience for some taxpayers. There
are now three forms: 1910; 1040A;
and 1040W. They're explained be-
low.
Enclose all VIZ withholding
statements for tax taken out of
your pay Be sure you report only
taxable income. Some kinds, like
Social Security payments, are nom
taxable and don't have to be report
ed.
Read Booklet Carefully
The only way to get a refund If
too much tax was withheld from
your pay is to file return and
claim it. Read carefully the 16-page
instruction sheet the Internal Rev
enue Service (IRS) sends every
taxpayer.

You must file return whether
or not you owe tax-if you meet
these requirements for taxable in

Do You Qualify?
1. You were under 65 and your
1859 income was $500 or more This
includes children. Parents are res
ponsible for seeing their child files
a return if he had $500 or more in
come.
2. You were 65 or older and had
$1,000 or more income You were
considered 65 for all of 1859 if you
reached that age as late as Jan. 1,
1860.

you're entitled to. Each is worth
$500. It's that much knocked off
your income before what's left is
taxable. Each person filing a. re-
turn gets $500 exemption. You also
get $500 for each dependent.
Husbands and wives usually re-
duce their tax by filing a joint re-
turn-it is split for them-whether
or not the wife had income. You
get a $500 exemption for your wife
if she files jointly with you.
If she had income, no matter
how small, you can claim no ex-
emption unless she files with you.
If she files separately each of you
claims a $500 exemption on each
ones own return.

Wages; salaries; commissions;
tips; rents; bonuses; prizes which
you did something to win; fees;

MARCH. 1860


March is turnlng-pOlnt month, when
Winter begins to give way to warmer wea-
ther and the first signs of Spring appear. In
early colonial days, the year began in March.
The name of the month comes from the name
Mars, which, in ancient Italian meaning, was
the name for the God of War
March, of course, used to be the month
of Inauguration Day, and on March a, for
many years, Presidents were inaugurated.
However, with the adoption of the 10th
Amendment in 1888, inaugurations have been
held in January.
The cotton gin was patented by Eli Whit
ney, of Massachusetts, on March IA, 1894.
The u. S. Military Academy, at West
Point, N Y, was founded by Act of Con-
gress on March Is, 1902, and ST. Patrick s
Day is celebrated on March IL, dating from
the death of the patron Saint of Ireland on
March IL, 493.
The month is the birthday anniversary of
several Presidents of the United States,
among them being Grover Cleveland, the only
man to serve two separated terms of Office as
President of the United States. Cleveland
was born in CALDWELL New Jersey, on March
18, 1887.
March contains many other interesting
historical days. March 19 being the birthday
anniversary of William Jennings Bryan, and
March 29 that of President John Tyler, the
tenth President of the United States March
80 is known as Seward Day in Alaska, the
anniversary of the day, in 1868, when Rus
sia ceded Alaska to the United States for
$7,200,000.

inevitably mean another upward
turn of the wage-price spiral, the
time may not be too distant when
the results will bring on another
recession. Business can develop
immunity to these Fed pills, just
as the doctors pills lose potency
after we depend upon them too
long.
When The Next Slump Comes
When the next slump comes, we
may well find that changed world
financial conditions will have sap
ped the FRB's recession-fighting
power In previous recessions, our
money managers did not have to
worry about the gold reserves be-
hind our credit structure. We held
gold in excess of any possible for
eign claims against it. Today, how
ever, for many reasOns-sWOllen
costs and prices here in the U. S.,
declining exports and rising inn
ports, liberal foreign aid, sizeable
exports of capital for plants a.
broad-we have been running a de-
ficit in the balance of payments
between our country and other
countries, This is a condition we
have not faced for many years.
h Foreigners have built up heavy
dollar balances which-at their dis
cretion-may be converted into gold
and taken out of this country
Hence-our money managers must
weigh any future action in the light
of it's possible effect on the heavy
foreign balances held here. If mon
ey is suddenly made easy, lower
interest rates will be paid on for
eign balances. This, of course, could
induce foreigners to withdraw
those balances-especially if inter-
est rates in some other country
