raised havoc with the railroads
as well as the large cities. The
railroads now employ only 300.
900 workers compared with 1,
100000 in 1850. Trucks are car
rying the less than carload
freight. while supermarkets and
shopping centers are distribut-
ing the merchandise. Use of
natural gas has doubled, while
coal has suffered tremendously.
The number of miners working
in some areas of West Virginia
is now only half those in 1850.
The Boom in Housing
Since the census of 1850 the
U. S. population has increased
by 20 per cent; housing by 20
per cent. And almost half the
expenditure for total new con-
struction is now going into
housing-practically all in the
suburbs, and built mostly on
credit amounting to 100 billion
or more.
The most unfortunate figure
in this 1850 Census is the amount
being spent on borrowed money.
These great mushrooming SUBJ
urbs are built on borrowed mon
ey-not only the new houses. but
also their furnishings and the
automobiles. I estimate that
the suburbs have also borrowed,
since the 1850 census, over 100
billion for roads, sidewalks, wa
ter, gas, etc. One dollar out of
every eight of take-home pay is
apparently obligated for appli-
ances and other things useful
but not necessary. What would
happen to these suburbs in case

Having resolved these questions we
find ourselves in support of Richard

WASHINGTON, Oct. IL - Far
too few people understand the
danger to the nations future
which is involved in the propos-
ais now being vigorously advo-
Gated for multi-billion-dollar in
creaSes in government spending.
Some Of the d ange rs are
pointed out by Secretary of the
Treasury Anderson, who is
widely recognized as an eco
nomic realist.
His comments, made recently
in a Fort Worth address, are
cited by the economy forces in
Congress as a powerful boost for
their contention that a grass
roots campaign against unessen-
tial government spending is ur-
gent.
Without such a campaign, gov
eminent spending could be vast
" increased if the Nov. 8 cleo
ton should send more New
Dealers to Washington.
Referring to spending pro-
grams now being arden
urged, Secretary Anderson said
it seems inevitable" that they
would add billions Of dollars to
government spending"
Where would this money come
from?
I'VE would either have to
raise taxes or increase the ma
tional debt by borrowing
So says the Secretary Of the
Treasury. Then he spelled out
the alarming prospects this way.
If taxes are raised, you-no-
body else-will pay the cost di-
rectly.
If we rely on excessive Dor
bowling to pay these extra bills,
you will be subject either to in
flatiOn or to controls.
In fact. it is highly likely that
you would not even have a
choice between initiation or con
trolls.
prolonged initiation would al
most surely lead to stringent and
widespread direction of your
economic life.
These controls would extend
10 the prices you pay, the wages
you receive. the profits you
make, and terms on which you
could borrow or lend.
ITO be effective, such controls
would have to spread to al
most all phases of your econo-
mic life, impairlng freedom of
choice in our country
What about initiation? Should
the nation be complacent or
alarmed over the outlook?
Secretary Anderson describes
as a dangerous proposition
the contention by left-wingers
that some initiation is not too
bad and that I'VE must have
initiation to maintain prospect
ty."
added. that initiation is the
enemy Of every American fam
lily, the enemy Of every Ameri-

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER /, 1860
Our Choice

HAVING eliminated Candidate John
F. Kennedy as our choice for presi-
dent of the United States as set forth
in our editorial last Friday, we have
choice of three possibilities. We may
vote for Richard Nixon, or the Virginia
Conservative Party Candidate C: Benton
Conner, or 'go fishing" - that is not
vote at all.
Certainly we would vote for a con-
sentative candidate of national stature,
backed by an organization with suf-
ficient funds to make his election pos
sible. We have considerable admiration
for Mr.. Conner and his group of Vir-
ginians who believe in what they stand
for and are willing to fight for con-
stitutiona and conservative government
If, in our opinion, vote for this Vir-
ginia party of patriots would affect the
national election it would certainly have
our vote
The cold political facts are that Vir-
ginia will elect either John F. Kennedy
or Richard NJ. Nixon All of the organ
lied political forces are thrown behind
these two candidates. So that a vote for
the Conservative Party of Virginia will
be simply vote Of protest against both
of the leading candidates. This means
that those who are practically conser-
vative must choose what they believe to
be the most conservative of the two
Loo Ill
polls it appears that the election in Vir-
ginia will be close. It is politically pos
sible that enough conservative votes may
cast protest vote for the Virginia Con-
sentative Party SO as to give the liberal
candidate Virginia's twelve electoral
votes. Should this happen the true con-
sentative would in effect vote against
his real convictions. In other words, as
this campaign draws to close we must
be practical and vote for the candidate
whom we believe will best serve the
United States and its people
We trust that Mr.. Coiner will carry
through on his expressed purpose of
organizing conservatives and constitu-
tionalists beginning November 8, look
ing toward drawing a close issue be-
tween liberals and conservatives in 1864.
The history of third parties is that they
have no means of continuity, are loose
~ organized and poorly financed. To
be assured of success conservative
party must be we'll organized far in
advance of political campaign.
When Tuesday comes, VOTE. 1t is
not enough to say plague on both your
houses, I'll have no part in it." If you

BabsOn Discusses 1860 Census

Babson Park. Mass. Oct. 81
The following rough analysis of
the 1860 Census figures is in
tensely interesting to me. The
figures show that the total pop
ulation of the United States, in
Guiding Hawaii and Alaska, is
now about 100 million. This is 30
million over 1850.
Large Cities Suffer
For the first time since the
original federal decennial cen
sus in 1890, all of our largest
cities except one now show a
decline. BY Large cities I
mean those with 1000 900 or
more population forming the
core of larger metropolitan
areas" Considering that the U.
S. has been taking censuses for
40 years, this is an extraordi-
nary event
The aforementioned lone ex-
ception' is Los Angeles. which
shows gain of over 20 per cent.
This is due to several reasons.
Los Angeles found oil within
its borders. It is also a center of
the fruit industry. or at least it
was until the inhabitants began
to uproot trees in order to build
subdivisions. Until the smog tro-
BILE developed. the Los Angeles
climate was also superb.
Boston Declines Worst
OF all large cities in the U. S.
Boston has suffered one of the
greatest losses. My first job af-
ter graduating from M. l. T.
was in Boston, which then had
a population of 100000. This in
creased to 10000 in 1910 when

Letter, To Editor
Kennedy Offers
To Trade Federal
Judgeship For Votes

Editor of Herald:
Mr.. William C. Battle, Sena-
tor Kennedy's Campaign Mana
ger for the State of Virginia, re-
fused to deny that if John F..
Kennedy is elected President Of
the United States he will appoint
Negroes to United States District
Judgeships.
Mr.. Battle suggests that the
people of Virginia should have no
fear Of this because under ira
ditional courtesy usually extend
ed members of the Senate, the
wishes Of Senator Byrd and Sena-
tor Robertson would be re-
spected.
Such an appointment by the
President would Immediately be-
come National Political issue
and no informed person believes
that with only eighteen Southern
Senators Mr.. Byrd and Mr.. Rob-
ertSon could save us from Mr..
Kennedy's political judges.
The people Of Virginia should
pause and consider what this
means.
This means that Senator Ken
nedy has reduced the appoint
ment to Federal Judicial Office
to the lowest level in history by
offering Federal Judicial appoint
ment in exchange for votes. This
means that Mr.. Kennedy's Negro
Judge would be an NAACP law
yer because that is the organi-
cation which delivers the Negro
vote.
The Supreme Court has given
to United States District judges
authority to supervise and adj
minister the Indignation of public
schools of Virginia and every
other State. These judges,
through the power Of injunction
order supported by threat of inn
prisonment. have under their po-
tential control every school Of
fetal of the State of Virginia.
They can and they have SEN
fenced to prison those who op-
pose. by word or deed. their or
ders or DEGREES.
The problems of our day are
difficult enough when such vast
power is exercised by men hold
ing judicial office who act with
restraint. What will be the conse-
quences to Virginia children and
to Virginia schools when a parti-
san attorney for the NAACP as
sumes these vast powers over the
schools and over the people of
the Commonwealth Of Virginia?
These considerations transcend
the importance of mere party
label.
The people Of Virginia should
repudiate Mr.. Kennedy and his
NAACP Judge on November 9th.

Boston proper did reach 8OO. 200
in 1850; but the number has
since dwindled to $4,000.
Boston has lacked natural re-
sources, with the possible ex-
ception of the fishing industry.
Educational institutions an d
small factories have been its
chief assets. Boston may still
claim to be a great educational
center, but it is rapidly losing
its factories and mills. The New

The Rise of Suburbia
The most revealing statistics
of the 1860 Census concern the
mighty force and growth of
suburbia. Most people who have
left the large cities have not
moved to other states. Rather,
they have moved primarily to
new suburbs some fifteen to
twenty-five miles distant. This not
only gives them better living
conditions, but provides an en-
tirely new social life.
Major factors causing this
change are automobiles, tele-
phones, and television. These
factors, plus airplanes, have
