ago at luncheon of the Wash
ington Society of Investment
Analysts at the Occidental
Restaurant yesterday.
In answer to a question, he
said a further increase in the
dividend is not in immediate
prospect, so far as he knows,
but that he would not be sur
prised if directors declared an
extra dividend at the october
meeting.
When the dividend increase
was announced last December
stockholders were told that this
did not preclude an extra at
the end of the year, he pointed
out.
New Records Set
Gillette earnings in the first
half of 1860 amounted to $1.84
a share, new record for the
period and were up 80 cents a
share or 81 per cent from a
year earlier, Mr.. Stewart re-
ported.
This margin of gain may not
be maintained in the third
quarter, because the net for this
period a year ago was a record
go cents a share, but there will
be reasonable improvement
over 1859, he said. Both sales
and profits for all of 1860 will
set a new record, he predicted.
Soaring sales of the COM
pany's new super blue blades
will have an impact on earn
ingS because the profit margin
on the new blades is better than
on regular blue blades, he said.
In their first eight months,
sales of super blue blades rose
to one-fifth of all United States
razor blade sales and one
fourth of Gillette's blade sales,
he said. Electric shaver sales
are leveling off and Gillette has
no plans to enter this field, he
declared.
S35 Million For Ads
Gillette spent around S35
million for advertising around
the world last year and the
company feels its marketing job
must extend right on through
to the ultimate consumer of its
products, he emphasized.
Gillette does not tie its ad-
VertiSing to a percentage of
sales, and promotion may even
be increased when sales are 60
ing down, he declared.
Constantly improving effici-
ency in mass production has
been just as important in COM
pany operations as better
known advertising efforts, he
said.
Thirty distinct and separate
operations were required to
make a razor blade before
World War II, now only IS are
needed and a further reduction
is planned, he said.
In the BCNton plant alone.
blade production was stepped
up from 1.2 billion in 1916 to
90 billion in 1859 without the
addition of bricks or mortar, he
added.
The number of employees was
reduced from 1900 to 430 in
the same period. The plant now
produces 1896 blades per man
hour against $40 per man hour
in 1916.

Moderation and
Variety Are Keys
To Needed Diets

Many well-stuffed tummies
are moaning the blues under the
strain of too many rich, holi-
day foods. So why not give
your tummy a break and start
that diet as you've been threat
ening to do?" suggests Miss
Janet Coblentz, extension nutri-
ton specialist at the University
of Delaware.
The magic ingredients for an
effective, healthful diet, accord
ing to Miss Coblentz, are mod
Grafton and variety. Take to
weight control slowly and de-
velop eating habits that you can
continue after the diet is over
to prevent lost pounds from
creeping back. BY serving good
food with plenty of variety,
you'll maintain high interest in
your weight reduction program.
Plan menus around the foods
you normally eat, cutting out
rich, high-calorie desserts, large
portions, second helpings and
high-calorie, in-b t w e e n-meal
snacks.
A good reducing diet should
include choices from the four
basic food groups; milk and
cheese; meat or meat alternates;
fruits and vegetables; and breads
and cereals. Moderate amounts
of bread and potatoes, often
considered taboo for weight re-
duction, have an important place
in an effective weight reducing
diet.
avoid fad-type diets that en-
courage erratic weight losses
and gains," says Miss Coblentz.
They can cause great body dam
age, particularly, if important
nutrients are continually cut
from the daily menu. Also, peo-
pie attempting crash diets quick
lly return to their old eating
habits when the diet is over and
"a pidly gain back the lost
weight.
"Diets can be fun and can
help you gain improved health,
vigor and alertness if you use
common sense and adhere to
the principles of good nutri-
tion," Miss Coblentz says.

Hens Schedule
Ohio IT,, Buffalo
On 81 Grid Card

Ohio University, the nations
top small college team, and
Buffalo, traditionally one of the
casts top small teams, appear
on the University of Delaware
football schedule in 1861.
David M. Nelson, the Blue
Hens head football coach and
director of athletics, said Della
ware will play eight games and
possibly nine with a date with
New Hampshire still pending.
The Hens seeking to improve
on a 2-6-l record, will play five
games in the Middle Atlantic
Conference university division
with traditional rivals, and Hof-
stra, of the MAC northern col
lege division, in return en-
gagement.
Ohio University, located in
Athens, Ohio, is a member of
the Mid-American Conference.
Delaware previously has played
Ohio rivals Marshall, which is
dropped this year, Bowling
Green, in a two-game series
that ended in $50, and Kent
State. in the 1854 Refrigerator
Bowl.
Coached by William Roy
Hess, the Bobcats won the Mid
American title this past season
and the small-college crown on
the strength of victory over
Bowling Green, the defending
titlist. The Hens and the Bob
cats will meet at Newark on
October %.
The game with Buffalo replac-
ing Amherst on the card, will
be the first between the two
clubs, although the Bisons have
competed with other MAC
teams in recent years. Buffalo
was 1858 winner of the Lambert
Cup, emblematic of eastern
small-college supremacy. Della
ware was a Lambert Cup win
ner in SO. The teams will meet
at Delaware Stadium on Sep
tember 80.
Officials of Delaware and New
Hampshire are attempting to re-
new an eight-year rivalry with
a date at Delaware Stadium on
October 81. The Hens have a
III edge in the series, with the
Wildcats lone victory coming
the past season.
The Nelsonmen will journey
to Hampstead, N. Y, on Octob-
er IA to meet Hofstra in the
second of two-game series.
At Delaware Stadium in go,
Delaware snapped a l7-game
unbeaten string by defeating
the Dutchmen, 200.
Delaware will open its sea-
son at home, the traditional
meeting with Lehigh on Septem-
ber 20. They will play succeed
ing MAC games with Lafayette

Poy-os-You-Go Pays OFF

Governor Rockefeller's determined,
but not always popular, insistence last
year on pay-aS-you-go financing for New
York State is promising to pay welcome
dividends.
Reviewing briefly the record of his
l8-month administration in Albany, the
Governor estimates that there will be
a budget surplus for the present fiscal
year of approximately 500 million. If
final figures bear out these calculations,
he told the Republican State Committee
this week that he will ask the legislature
to authorize 10 per cent abatement in
New York State personal income taxes
for 1860.
Mr. Rockefeller's fiscal program was
based upon two principles that are
sound at almost any level of government.
One is that of improving efficiency in
government as means of effecting
economies. The other is that of gearing
taxes to needs. With this formula for
fiscal integrity, the New York record
shows improved business, increased Job
opportunities, higher incomes and
greater public revenues. These results
speak we'll for buSinesslike approach
to running the business Of government.
Evening star., 1960-06-16
off the Panic Button

In view of the fiscal uncertainties
OF the moment, it is shocking that the
Commissioners even considered the pos
Sibility of voting this week to raise
District real estate taxes. Apparently
this strange attack of summer fever now
has Subsided, and for that much District
residents can be thankful. =
The city heads, as Commissioner
Mclaughlin expressed it, were worried
about whether there is legal require
ment that they must approve the tax
boosts this month in order for them to
become effective during the next year.
AS they have learned, there is no such
requirement. The real point, however,
Is that an increase at this time would
not have been justified even If such a
requirement did exist. For no one knows
now whether additional revenues will
be needed, or, if so, in what amount, or,
in fact, whether real estate taxes are the
best way to provide them.
When the Commissioners proposed
a 20-cent raise in the real estate tax
several months ago, along with number
OF other expanded taxes, the thought
was that these revenues would finance
needed public works improvements. But
that thinking now has largely gone down
the drain. More recently, the District
has asked Congress to appropriate the
fully authorized $32 million Federal
payment to finance most of the public
works, with the thought that tax in
creaseS might be needed to pay in
creased salaries of District employees.
AS the legislative muddle now
stands, however, the pay raise bills have
doubtful prospects. And none of the
public works projects has yet been
authorized. The only sensible course
for the Commissioners, therefore, is the
one which they have decided to follow
to wait until Congress determines need
for increased revenues before they push
the panic button on higher real estate
taxes, the wisdom of which should be
strongly questioned under any circum-
stances.
Evening star., 1960-06-16

Whatever the need, it seems
to me that the local bodies,
rather than the Federal Gov
ernment. should have the
responsibility for allocating
the use Of the loans and that
the legislation should en-
courage experimentation by
permitting this kind of flexi-
bility. which cannot be
achieved by issuing the loans
directly to a transport car
rier.
Secondly, by adopting this
approach, the bill is designed
to encourage the maximum
amount Of concern, involve
ment and initiative-financial
and otherwise-on the part
Of the local public bodies.
The bill is intended to en-
courage local effort, not to
supplant it. And I would
be inclined to say that this
approach will, in the long run,
prove to be Of more impor-
tance than the dollar value
OF the assistance rendered by
the Federal Government.

Senator from New jersey

Freedoms Friends

President Eisenhower selected an
appropriate forum, the Congress Of the
Philippine Republic, for his review of
the postwar spread Of self-determination
and Of the differing roles which the
worlds big powers have played in this
political evolution.
Since 1945," the President recalled,
"thirty-three lands that were once sub
ject to Western control have peaceably
achieved Self-determination. These 80
countries have population of almost
billion people. During the same period,
twelve countries in the Sino-Soviet
sphere have been forcibly deprived of
their independence. The question might
be asked: Who are today the colonial
ists?"
Perhaps no people on the globe are
better qualified than the Filipinos to
speak from experience on the Western
response, and that of the United States
in particular, to human aspirations for
independence. Under American rule
after 1898, conquered and occupied by
the Japanese in 1912, liberated by Fill
pino-American forces in 1945, the islands
were granted their full independence on
July 4, 1946. The action redeemed a
pledge given by our own Government
twelve years earlier 1t was taken freely
and in an atmosphere of mutual respect
that has ever since prevailed between
the two sovereign republics. 1t is story
vastly different, for example, from that
of Soviet reaction toward the freedom
movement In Hungary or the ruthless
Communist Chinese destruction Of an
ancient freedom in Tibet.
But it was not to the Filipinos alone
that Mr.. Eisenhower was reciting this
record. 1t should have special meaning
for the people Of Japan and many other
Asian peoples who have exchanged
Western control for freedom in these
postwar years, and whose independence
is directly or potentially threatened to-
day by the aggressive designs of the
Sino-Soviet bloc. For them, the story
of the Philippines and the .impressively
warm reception given to the President
in Manila should have deep meaning.

present laws, or new ones If needed, to
protect the public from salacious, por-
nographic or other printed filth. Such
laws, however, should be drawn up with
extreme care so as to be explicit in their
aims and to be in consonance with con-
Stitutional guarantees of a free press.
The proposed House amendment clearly
does not meet these standards. It is
hard to understand why the House ap-
proved such loosely worded, ambiguous
measure. The Senate ought to kill it or,
at the least, rewrite it after hearings
and due deliberation.
