The list of anti-recession
moves by the administration
and the Federal Reserve Sys-
TEN is growing.
No one in the administra-
ton publicly admits there is
any business letdown or recess
sion threat. By tradition, an
admission of this sort is abso-
lutely taboo in a presidential
election year.
No one in the Federal Re-
serve System is publicly COM
menting on current economic
trends. All the Central Bank
erS or their spokesmen are say
ing is that inflationary forces
have lessened, there has been
a 'quieting of speculative SEN
timent," and thus they need no
longer clamp down so hard on
the supply of credit.
While authorities in public
cite just about every plausible
reason except a recession
threat" for what they're do
ing, there is no doubt among
observers that what Washing
ton has been and still is put
ting together is a package of
anti-slump steps.
Impressive Package
Considering the lack of plain
talk, the package is quite i'm
pressive. Here is what has been
put in it so far:
For easier and cheaper
money:
The Federal Reserve System
began months ago to pump
funds into the banking sys-
tenn in order to spur banks into
being more liberal on loans to
businessmen, homebuilders, etc.
Weeks ago, it also cut its own
lending rate (the key discount
rate) to banks belonging to the
Federal Reserve System to en-
courage them to reduce their
rates to borrowers.
On Thursday. it sliced mar
gins on stocks from 80 to 70
per cent for the first time in
more than two years.
The Federal Reserves spokes-
men may deny any of these
steps has a thing to do with the
Sconomy's drift, but they cer-
tainly add up to a program
aimed at reinvigorating busi-
ness. And one thing is sure:
The Federal Reserve is not
fighting imitation now, not by a
long shot.
For more highway cOnstruc-
ton:
The administration has Or
dered a doubling of the amount
of Federally assisted highway
construction between July /
and October /.

| TALKING OF BUSINESS
emily Contributesto to Steady Success
|Ot Monn's Potato Chip Business
BY WILLIAM MacDOUGALL
Star Staf Writer

Star Stan Writer
my friends are constantly
razzing me" observed Frank E.
Mann, president Of the Mann
Co. They're convinced that
one potato sliced up SO thin
will fill dozens of bags, and
that the Mann family must be
the richest in the world"
He added ruefully:
Il certainly wish that were
true"
AS it turns out, however, it
takes 100 pounds of potatoes
and 10 pounds Of cooking oil
to produce Is pounds of Mann's
potato chips. About three
quarters of the potatoes weight
is water and evaporates in the
oven.
The Mann family may not be
the richest in the world, but it
has done very well for itself.
Mr.. Mann and his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Frank j. Mann, who
founded the firm on a shoe
string in 1880, now run one of
the largest potato chip "em-
pires" in the world.
200 Employees
Their domain includes fac
tories in Washington, Philadel-
phia and Selbyville, Del, and
a branch in Baltimore. Their
employees number about 200
persons, and they are substan-
tial stockholders of the Sum
shine Biscuit Co., with which
their firm was merged in 1857.
Nevertheless, success has not
spoiled the Manns. For one
thing, they have retained their
sense of humor.
For example, Frank E. Mann,
40. refers to his parents and
the company this way:
I'm the president. They're
the BOSSES"
Mrs. Mann. a lively, attractive
woman who looks scarcely
older than her son, recalls how
the business began:
I'VE were operating out of
our house in Mount Rainier"
she related. "and Mr.. Mann
distributed the goods in an old
Model T truck"
Mr.. Mann, a Texan, met the
present Mrs. Mann, a Virginian,
when he was stationed in Wash
ington in World War I. He
returned to the city after his
discharge, went to work for a
biscuit company and saved
enough to start his own business
right at the beginning of the
commerce-killing depression.
Hesitant Start
He started the business and
Topped a couple of times before
he got it going" the younger
Mr.. Mann declared admiringly,
but the point is he got it
going"
The business consisted of
selling "snacks"-small items,
such as peanuts and sandwiches.
Mrs. Mann answered the
telephone, Mr.. Mann drove the
truck and l2-year-old Frank E.
swept the floors. Peanuts, pea
nut butter sandwiches and a
number of other items were
mainstays Of the business.
by the middle 30s,' Frank
E. Mann said, 1.-The potato chip
business looked like it would
be the best of all the snacks.
Il had the best all-year accept
ance.
I'VE backed into the manu-
facture of them. We couldn't
afford our own plant, and
bought them from a manufac-
turer in Philadelphia.
When he went out of busi-
ness suddenly because of finan-
cial problems, we had no
potato chips to sell. So my
father went up to Philadelphia
and made the arrangements to
take it over"
The Manns then proceeded
to upgrade the quality of their
product, introduced colored
bags and Experimental with
brighter retail displays.
AS a result, according to the
