These have been Mr.. Khru-

Mr.. Nkrumah made clear, in
talking to newsmen, as Mr..
KhruShchev stood beside him,
that no sweeping decisions were
reached.

conclusions yet" he said. Mr..

Economy's Rolling Reodjustment

latest Government survey,
continues at a high and sus-
tanned level. Governmental
spending for goods and serv-
ices, embracing State and
local as well as Federal out
lays, continues to advance.
Recent surveys indicate, that
consumer buying plans were
well maintained during the
summer and that consumers
increasingly regard their A.
nancial position as favorable.
AS already noted, personal
income has continued to rise
and. with imitation under
control, rising personal in
come means rising purchas-
ing power for the consumer.
Mr.. Anderson pointed to
the wholesome effect which
the easing of interest rates
has had. He says:
Credit to support residen-
tial and other construction is
more readily available, at
lower interest rates. This in
turn has helped sustain the
level Of housing starts. Con-
Struction contract awards
have also increased recently.
Thus. the outlook for a rising
volume of construction is IA
corable.
THE adjustments that our
economy has undergone this
year provide the base for a
long period of sustainahle,
non-inhationary growth"
But what of the future If
the budget is unbalanced
again and Government
spending rises to unprece-
dented heights? The Sec
retary of the Treasury is a
non-political person and
doesn't discuss campaign is
sues. But a footnote to his
address might well be added
that a change in fiscal pol
icies can alter the outlook
for business and for the con-
sumer. Mr.. Anderson says
that the most important
single fact leading to the
decline in inflationary ex-
pectations was the realiza
ton, last January, that the
$12.4 billion Federal deficit
of fiscal year 1859 would be
replaced by a surplus in
fiscal year 1860. This surplus
actually totaled $1.l billion.
Will the period of stabil-
ity and repressed imitation
continue? The November
election will furnish the
answer.

Rolling readjustment" is
the phrase that describes
the business situation today.
1t means that the national
economy is adjusting itself
to a strain imposed upon it
by the steel strike last year.
and that a period of sta
bility is ahead.
The Secretary of the
Treasury, Robert B. Ander-
son, in a speech Just de-
livered before a meeting of
the governing boards Of
three financial institutions
of worldwide scope gives a
very significant explanation
of what is going on in
America today.
Though his address is
couched in technical phrases,
Mr.. Anderson makes the
point that, when the steel
strike came, various busi-
nesses began to live of their
stockpiles-more often called
inventories" When the
strike was over in January
of this year, they repleniShed
their stocks, not only of
steel but of the by-products
of steel. This process of
building up inventories is a
form of expansion that tenn
porarily stimulates the econ
omy but, when the motivat-
ing influence or need is no
longer present, the mo-
mentum stops. That's what
has happened to the Ameri-
can economy. Secretary
Anderson describes it this
way:
I'm the first quarter of
1860, businesses were accum-
ulating inventories at the
near-record annual rate of
$11.4 billion. This rapid rate
of accumulation was partly
the result of resumption of
steel output after a long
strike. and partly the result
of expectations of limited
supply, rising prices, and
vigorous demand in 1860.
But, as it became clear in
ensuing months that most
industrial goods and mate
rials would continue to be
readily available at reason
ably stable prices, the rate of
accumulation began to de-
crease.

Gen. Nathan F. Twining, re-,
tiYing chairman of the Joint
Chiefs Of Staff, has voiced con-
fldence in the strength of
American armed forces.
Speaking before the National
Security Industrial Association
in New York last night, Gen.
Twining said this country has
the readiness, flexibility and
staying power" to win any
war.
And he added: The Ameri-
can capability for decisive,
war-winning response to any
attack must be kept sure, what
ever the costs. 1t is the only
guarantee Of peace. Forces that
cannot win will not deter"
The threat to the United
States is a serious and con-
tinuing one, he said, and it
involves political, economic and
military aggression.
Cites Destructive Power
"All these sides of the
threat must be met" he said,
but our power of maneuver
depends on our having a pro-
tecting shield of decisive mill
tary power"
I'VE can now destroy Russia
and China if we are attacked,
and the Communist leaders
know it," he said.
In a hasty ceremony today,
President Eisenhower awarded
the Distinguished Service Medal
to Gen. Twining.
The ceremony in the White
House was moved up 35 min
uteS because of the death in
Denver, Colo, of Mrs. Eisen-

changed from lukewarm to
hot after the debate and
wired him their full support.
A tried tester of the political
winds. Senator Frank J.
Lausche Of Ohio, jumped on
the bandwagon after a con-
spicuous absence in an earlier
Kennedy tour of Ohio.
In Washington, a promi-
nent Jesuit theologian said
in a widely advertised speech
that the Roman Catholic
church would not attempt
to interfere in the political
activities of a Catholic PreSi-
dent, He further pledged in
his church's name that a
Catholic President would not
be bound by Catholic moral
ity in deciding public issues.
This goes far toward han
ding a problem Senator
Kennedy was in no position
to meet. He was questioned
by the Houston ministers on
this point; several asked him
to get from the Vatican or
American hierarchy some
pledges of this nature.
The Senator firmly resisted
such suggestions. He was
glad to speak for himself, he
said. but further he could
not, in propriety. His church
has of its own motion now
made its statement and let it
be known that the statement
is authoritative.
The anxious Protestant
clergy has still to be heard
from. One TV debate does
not settle an election out

was tentative with respect
to issues and was a sparring
match, not a championship
bout. But present develop
ments have put heart in

Senator Kennedy and so, to
a degree, had Mr.. Nixon.
But the Californian knows
more about that indeflnable
attribute called star quality
than most Republicans; his
party depended on it for
years in the big State where
it was outnumbered 80 in
registration.
Mr.. Nixon has never sug-
gested Sens tor Kennedy
might outtalk him, but he
had often mentioned that
the Senator outlooks him
and poses a problem when
the limelight strikes both.
Indeed, in his eagerneSS to
associate himself with the
Kennedy ideals during the
TV show, he almost seemed
to be acknowledging an ap-
peal he thought it wise to
share. if possible.
1t was Mr.. Nixon who, with
prophetic insight, laid down
many conditions for the TV
debates. The Senator insisted,
sometimes against the ad-
vice Of his staff, upon ac-
cepting them all. He figured
he had the most to gain and
he was not going to let the
chance escape him.
He has gained needed sta
ture in his own party by his
performance. Democrats are
not and have never been hos
tile to him; they only thought
he had many handicapS.
Their cup is now running
over.

an edge over Mr.. Nixon. The

Nation Described as Completing Cycle
Of Reaction to Last Years Steel Strike

now indicates that inven-
tories are no longer rising
but are perhaps declining
slightly. Overall, therefore,
the annual rate Of inventory
spending has fallen by $11 to
$12 billion. This sharp de-
cline in inventory spending
is the key fact in our do
mestic business picture and
accounts for the relative sta
bility Of industrial produc-
ton in 1860, despite a sub
Stantial expansion in final de-
mand."
Mr.. Anderson points out
that the drop in inventory
spending is larger than it
was in 1957-58 and that it
is apparent that, in the past
eight months, we have expe-
rienced another major post
war shift in inventory spend
ing"
In contrast with what
happened in the recessions
of 1948-49 and 1953-54 and
1957-58, the Secretary of
the Treasury says the recent
inventory readjustment has
proceeded smoothly and, of
primary Importance, has been
Offset by strong final de-
mand," and that, even with
this shift, the gross national
product has risen in 1860.
The Secretary might well
have pointed out also that
the total accumulation of
inventories in December, 1859,
stood at 1894 billion and
that. even though inventory
buying now has been sus-
pended. it still shows up at
1884 billion at the end of the
second quarter of this year.
BY stopping the expansion
of inventories, the whole
situation is readjusted in a
healthy way, and inventory
accumulation will naturally
be resumed as the heavy
demand for products tends to
absorb what has been piled
up through the abnormal
operation that followed the
ending of the steel strike.
"The inventory adjust
ment," concludes Secretary
Anderson, appears now to be
nearing completion. Business
