For the headlines aren't dis
closing that for months buSi-
ness has been losing momen-
tum. They're not revealing
that many recent increases are
rejecting strictly seasonal i'm
provementS. They're not show
ing the soft spots beneath the
bright statistical surface.
They're not indicating the ex-
tent to which the psychology
Of businessmen has deteriorated
since the start of 1860 and to
which the psychology of con-
SumerS has deteriorated in the
last few months.
What is not in the headlines
explains why the Federal Re-
serve System and the admin
Stratlon are now pushing hard
on the anti-recession button.
What is not apparent in the
current statistics explains why
there has been scarcely a mur-
mur in conservative business
and financial circles against
new increases in Federal spend
ing and why, in fact, the higher
spending is being welcomed.
Consider, first, the rise in em-
ployment in July to an all-time
record. 1t was entirely a sea-
Sonal increase. Moreover, while
| jobleSSneSS among teenagers
fell, unemployment among the
over-20 age group rose contra
seaSonally for the second
straight month and the ma
ticnal unemployment rate re-
manned at an uncomfortably
high 5.4 per cent of the work
force. After more than two
years of business advance. this
unemployment rate is just too
high.
Consider, second. the climb
in personal incomes to an un-
paralleled peak. The pace of
rise has been slowing to a crawl
in recent months. Income losses
due to heavy unemployment and
short workweeks in basic in
duStrieS are being offset by in
creases in Government pay
rolls, social security payments,
the like-but there's no mis-
taking the loss in momentum
Consider. third, the unprece-
denied size of our output. A
$505 billion GIMP seems fantas-
tic, but the gain between the
first and second quarters of this
year was only or per cent
which is practically equivalent
to standing still. We're still
stalled.
! Consider, fourth. the stable
price level. That's great news
for consumers, but many cor
porations are holding the price
line at the expense of their
profits. The number of corpo-
rations reporting falling net
profits in the face of peak sales
is mounting disturbingly fast
You can see why the Fedora,
Reserve System is pouring
money into the banking system
to encourage banks to make
more loans at cheaper rates
and why the administration Is
speeding up spending, trying tt
spur housing. The anti-reces.
sion package is growing bigger
to help make what the head.

Uneasy Lies the Head =

Senator Lyndon Johnson, f1gura-
lively and perhaps bit more than
figuratively, wears crown. 1t is doubt
full, however, that Shakespeare's OBJ
Servation applies in his case. But the
Texan, if not uneasy, probably Is not
too happy with some of the goings-on
in the party ranks.
AS majority leader, he is supposed
to keep order and maintain discipline
in the Democratic family in the SEN
ate-65 rugged individualists in all. And
some of them are threatening to kick
over the traces.
Senator ProXmire, a braSh new
conner, caused a bit Of trouble at the
last session. Now, with Senators Clark,
Douglas, Humphrey and Mcnamara, he
is causing more. This group was pre-
pared to seek a vote in Thursdays Dem
ocratic conference on their proposal
that meeting of Democratic Senators
be held every two weeks, or on the re-
quest Of IS Senators. Mr.. Johnson out
flanked this move by saying, as he did
last year, that any Senator could have
a lIlCCG1llS dG dIly lIlllC ollllp1y Wy
ing for it. There are also rumblings
to the effect that future vacancies on
the Democratic Policy Committee should
be filled by vote of all the Democrats,
not through appointment by the ma
jority leader. What will come of this
remains to be seen.
Behind it all lies a certain discon-
tent on the part Of the Democratic Glib
erals" with Senator Johnsons policy of
restraint and moderation. AS of now
this hardly adds up to anything that
could be called serious challenge of
the majority leaders position, and we
doubt that it will. If it should, the SEN
ator from Texas will have the votes to
beat it down. 1t is something which has
to be handled delicately and Skilfully,
however, and this will be especially true
in an election year If Senator Johnson
really has been nipped by the preSi-
Dental bug.

from the criticisms, a comparison of
the Moscow ensemble with the best of
our own-those of Boston, Philadelphia
and New York-would not be markedly
favorable.
But just as these three fine Ameri-
can organizations won public applause
while visiting the Soviet Union, so did
Mr.. Ivanov and his companions, includ-
ing the American-known Russian piano
soloiSt, Emil GilelS, capture the approval
Of the New Workers. The critics, no
doubt, should practice their profession
effectively. For the deeper purposes of
the cultural exchange program, how
ever, it is gratifying that audiences on
both sides of the Iron Curtain are moved
to the warmest expressions of apprecia-
tion and enjoyment in the great univer-
sal art of music.

New Billboard Battle

Lines are being drawn for another
billboard battle in Richmond-one that
involves both eSthetic and economic fac
tors that will affect, for good or bad,
VirginiaS developing interstate high
way system of the future. Arraigned on
one side are the politically influential
Signboard intereStS-the same group
that has resisted effective Federal and
State controls. On the other side are
garden clubs, women'S organizations
and many other groups opposed to de-
facement of the new highways by such
unsightly Scenery-obscuring signs as
have marred some of the Nations older
main highways-U. 8. for example.
We align ourselves with the roadside
landscape conServationiStS.
The General Assembly, convening
next week, must tackle the billboard
problem again because it failed to come
to grips with it properly at the previous
session. On the closing day of the 1858
session the Legislature adopted tenn
porary makeshift control law that ex-
pired June 80. Meanwhile, the Virginia
Advisory Legislative Council has been
studying the problem, with a view to
recommending a permanent control law,
but its report has not yet been made
public.
The State has financial stake in
the decision over signboard controls.
Unless 1t passes a law embodying the
reasonable minimum standards fixed by
the Federal Government, Virginia will
lose about 81 million in Federal highway
fund incentive bonuses" offered to
States which cooperate adequately in
restricting roadside signs. With present
highway funds far below needs, the ST
million windfall should be real induce
ment. However, the best and most COM
pelling argument for an effective control
law is the one advanced by the billboard
opponentS-the protection of the new
highways against the sort of CONNER
cialized blight that affrontS the sensi-
bilities of motorists on many older roads.
We hope the new Legislature will see
to it that adequate safeguards are pro-
vided for the fine highways now being
built under the interstate program.

Schools and the Public

AS matter of general policy school
board meetings ought to be open to the
press and public. This is because school
business is the public'S business.
However, there are certain matters
which it is undoubtedly in the public
interest to take up behind closed doors
Most boards properly have a policy of
discussing personnel problems, land pur-
chaSeS and pending litigation in exec
utive sessions There may be a few
other matters involving personalities or
other delicate subjects which might bet
ter be threShed out "in conference"
The Arlington School Board has
held and plans to hold series of closed
sessions. However, L. Lee Bean, chair
man of the board, vigorously denies that
the closed sessions are either improper
or unusual. He asserts that personnel,
land questions and litigation are the
principal topics covered in private con-
ferenceS. The only exceptions, he has
told The Star, are few problems which,
while seemingly qualifying for public
discussion, involve possible ramificationS
touching on subjects which staff and
board members feel should not be
discussed publicly in their preliminary
phases. He says this system has been
in effect for years.
In no case, according to Chairman
Bean, are debates held or votes taken
on any subject behind closed doors
except on the aforementioned three
private" subjects. All other matters are
discussed or debated and voted on in
the regular monthly public meetings or
in special public meetings called because
Of emergency or other developments.
If this is the caSe-and we have no
reason to question the boards good
faith-the current controversy over the
boards recent series of closed ses-
sions seems to be of the teapot tempest
variety.

Timely Good Will Mission

The four South American countries
which President Eisenhower will visit
this winter offer a composite picture of
the problems and the progress identified
with contemporary history in much of
the southern continent. All are practic-
ing democracy in political life, even
though with varying degrees of stability
and maturity. Social reforms and eco
nomic development are matters of high
priority. All have close and friendly ties
with the United States, even while Shar-
ing in some measure the common Latin
American attitude that Uncle Sam too
often takes his neighbors for granted
while striving to be liked elsewhere in
the world.
Three of the countrieS-Argentina,
Brazil and Chile-are generally conSid-
cred the backbone of the continent and
are referred to en- bloc as the A.BC.
powers. Uruguay, the smallest in area,
is one OF the most advanced politically
and socially.
Both in Brazil and Argentina, first
and second stops on the Eisenhower itin-
erary, economic problems bear heavily
on politicS-not only internally but on
relationships with the United States.
President Kubitschek of Brazil, nearing
the end of his term and ineligible to
succeed himself, has been a foremost
spokesman Of hemisphere solidarity. His
administration has had its economic
troubles, however, in its program for
nationalized development of petroleum
resources and in maintaining a profit
able price level for coffee, the country'S
principal export. One Of Mr.. Kubit-
Schek'S current objectiveS is to stabilize
the economic situation sufficiently to
assure another election victory this year
for his Social Democratic Party. In Ar
gentina, President Frondizi-the first
popularity elected chief executive since
the ouSting of dictator Juan Peron-
likewise is encountering political oppoSi-
tion to his auSterity and economic stabi-
lization program. In Chile, a conServa-
tive political government has been fight
ing bad case Of imitation by reducing
government subsidies and curtailing
imports. Fiscal auSterity is no more
popular there than elsewhere.
In all of these countries, left-wing
political factions have served in varying
degree as Communist fronts and the
Soviet Union has taken advantage of
every opportunity for expanding trade
and other economic relations through
out the continent. Uruguay, where polit-
ical freedom is Solidly established, has
been favored center for coordination
Of Soviet economic missions operating in
neighboring countries.
Against this background, Mr.. EiSen-
hower's projected trip is most timely.
There is no doubt that the majority SEN
timent in these four countries, and
others Of the Latin American commu-
nifty, favors hemisphere solidarity. For
the President to demonstrate his closest
personal interest in it is certain to
strengthen the common cause.
