NEEDED: FACTS

Fred c. Clark and Richard Stanton Ri
manoczy, in leafet published by the AM
erican Economic Foundation, describe some
of the attitudes of high school students to-
ward the American business system, as re-
vealed by various polls.
Substantial numbers of these students
well over half in many cases-think that in
creased productivity is not the way to inn
prove national living standards that better
tools mean fewer jobs, even in the long run !;
that it is better for a worker not to produce
more than the average of his fellow work.
ers that the profit motive is not essential to
American business; that dividends are a bur-
den on wages; that there is practically no
competition in many basic industries.
So it goes, down long and dishearten-
ing list of misconceptions. The authors OBJ
Serve that, "these misconceptions are not
deep-rooted they are based on wrong infor-
nation, and are susceptible to simple truth" !.
But these misconceptions, if left uncorrected,
will breed deep-seated feeling of suspicion
against all private business and industry.
1t is frightening to think of this feeling be-
ing carried to the voting booths few years
from now Realistic instruction in basic eco
nomics and presentation of the facts of bus
iness as they actually exist is critically over
due in our schools today.

COP CANDIDATE

COP CANDIDATE = Harry G..
Farrow, Sr., lifelong resident of
Harrington, where he resides at SO
West Street, is the Republican
candidate for State Representative

only solid plastics, which will
soon compete with steel in our
new lightweight automobiles, but
also textiles of all kinds from
tableware to dress goods and
clothing. Both the textile labor
unions and the manufacturers OF
woven products already see the
handwriting on the wall!
During my trip l met several
buyers for such concerns as Sears,
Roebuck, Montgomery Ward, WOOL
worth. McCrory-McLellan and
Macy's. These concerns are bring
ing goods from both Europe and
japan i'm shiploads to sell in the
United States and South America
at low prices and at good profits.
When China also breaks into these
markets the competition will be
very severe. This latter may be
worrying Mr.. K and be one reason
for his TRADES!
What About The American Stock
MaIkets
From the above, it looks as if
the profits of our industrial COM
panies will continue to decline,
and be followed by dividend reduc-
tions. If competition increases, as
l expect, it will result in unem-
ployment followed by more labor
strikes. Employers may not be
about to reduce wages but they
surely will resist wage increases
and the ''fringes" which are con-
stantIy increasing. I now see no
reason for a real business depres-
sion, but certainly this situation
does not now encourage another
bull market, except possibly in
the merchandising and specially
stocks.

first, the ordinance had not been
properly posted and secondly, that
under the charter, council had
power to enact new ordinances or
amendments.
Mr.. Ridgely contended, too, that
council could pay employees over
time.
Overtime is one of the requests
made by police and other town en-
ployees. They have asked council
to establish a 40-hour week with
no reduction in pay, retroactive to
October 1st.
They also want to be paid time
and half for overtime, and have
asked that November IL be return
ed in the nature of paid legal
holiday.
Council agreed to name a one or
two man committee to serve on the
study group with representatives
of the employees, in surveying
wage and working plans in other
nearby towns. The committee is
expected to make it's recommends
ton to council on December 13.

graded important supervisory pO-
sitions. These short-sighted poll
cies have weakened our school sys-
tenn When elected Governor of Del
aware / will work to correct this
condition. / propose to insure that
Delaware WILL attract outstand-
ing teachers and that our schools
will have an adequate staff of quail
flied supervisors.
Now. let us discuss local support
of our schools and the part / hope
you will play. / would like to see
lively local interest in what the
schools are doing. Good support by
a community doesn't just happen.
PTA's and school boards should
report to the people-they should
appeal for help when problems
arise. The school building itself
should become the center of COM
munity activities.
Another factor affecting local
support of our schools is the Ques-
ton of school board selection. i
believe the local districts should
have the privilege of deciding how
their board members are selected.
For many years, board members of
most. New Castle County schools
were appointed by the resident
judge Qualified citizens were OBJ
tanned for school board service
without difficulty. Harmonious, eff
fective school boards we're the rule.
Many of the best schools in Della
ware are to be found in those dis
tricts which have had appointed
school boards. Therefore, it is un-
wise to force all districts to have
an elected school board Each dis
trict should have the right to de-
eide at any time which of these two
systems would best serve its par
| ticular needs.
The children of this generation
will be our future leaders. If they
are to be ready to meet the chal-
| lenge of the future, they must have
| the best possible training. DR..
James B. Conant, in his study of
the American high school, has
pointed out the way to train our
ablest students more effectively
We must enrich and broaden our
courses of study to challenge these
outstanding students.
| In summary, here is what have
discussed tonight:
A program to cope with increas-
ed school enrolment, the need for
adequate financial support for our
schools, a program for handling
the teacher shortage, the need for
local support for school improve
ment, and program for our most
able students.
Our country is dedicated to the
free education of all-equal OPP
portunity for the children in the
rural areas, and for the rich and
poor alike in our large cities. The
complete education of all is the one
sure way to upgrade our entire
state. With your whole-hearted
support, Delaware schools can be-
come the best. l call on you as a
dedicated citizen of our state, to
recognize our obligation to edu-
cate good citizens who will be
equal OF the moral and the intel
lectual challenges of our times.
If you believe as | do, ask that
you elect me Governor on Novem-
ber together with a Republican
legislature to carry out my pro-
| gram.

En- Route Home, Oct. 20. My
first thought as / complete my
six weeks away from the United
States is that we and Great Britain
should hold together as solid
bloc and foundation for others of
the free nations who are willing
to put character and courage
ahead of propaganda and selfish
ness.
Attitude OF France
Certainly deGaulle has done
wonders for France. He, however;
appears to be very conceited man
and knows little about economics.
If deGaulle should suddenly drop
dead, most intelligent French peo-
pie believe that France would re-
vert to chaos. Surely l would in
vest no money in France. Mrs.
Babson, who spent her time at
the hotels and stores, fears that
France is pricing herself out of
business"
Personally, | have not seen much
of the Germans since l spent some
months there just before World
War /. There is no doubt, how
ever, that they are most indus
trious people. If the French en-
deavor is to give little for as
much as possible, certainly the
Germans are supplying the most
goods possible for as little as pos
Sihle As a result great purchases
both of machinery and of goods
are being made in Germany by
American manufacturers.
What About Italys

ports to the United States and all

plies to piastics, for the manu-
facture of which Milan has very

USES FOR LEISURE

1t is often pointed out, and quite proper
ly, that compulsory retirement at the age of
65 makes little sense. That cutoff date is un-
realistic. But there is another side to the
matter. For number of reasons, including
notably the rise of automation, workers of
the future may have far more leisure than
workers now enjoy.
The downward trend of the work week
seems likely to continue. There also is rea-
son to suppose that great many workers
may some day retire from production, not
at 65 but perhaps as early as age so.
They will do so, not because of inability
to go on working, but because it will be
possible to quit at an early age on enough
retirement income to make living enjoyable.
While this is becoming possible, another
thing will be happening: the average life
span will be going up as it has been going
up steadily for decades Men will be living
longer but retiring earlier. There will be a
longer interlude from the end of productive
life to the end of life itself.
Making this interlude productive in other
ways-making it fruitful, rather than per-
iod of fruitless enjoyments that may soon
pall-will be increasingly a challenge to So
ciety. 1t is by no means too soon to begin
thinking about what kind of education will
best fit men and women to use their leisure
time creativey. The alternative, mass of
people simply killing time" is not pleasant
to contemplate

DEFER THE PAT-ON-THE-BACK


Under an old law, passed when govern
ment bond interest rates were much lower
than they are now, Rural Electrifcation Co
operatives can borrow money from the gov
ernment at two per cent But for some
time, the government has had to pay about
four per cent for its borrowed money.
The coop loans are repayable on fixed
dates. Many of the co-ops, however, have
been making advance payments, ahead of the
dates. This caused spokesman for the
movement to make an astonishing state
ment.
He pointed out, in effect, that the co-ops
didn't have to make payments in advance,
and that they could instead legally invest the
money in government bonds paying four per
cent Then he patted the co-ops on the back
for refraining from doing this, on the
grounds that they are thus showing self-sac-
rifcing patriotism of a high order.
Others may take different view of the
matter They may feel, for instance, that
no praise is due-that simple integrity, no
matter what the legalities involved should
prevent co-ops from, in effect, using govern
ment money borrowed at two per cent to buy
government bonds paying higher return.
And they may even feel that the pat-on-the-
back should be deferred until such time as
the co-ops themselves suggest that their in
terest rate be raised to the point where it
will equal what the government must pay

name, Nixon continued to hammer
the stand taken on this issue by
his opponent.
Drawing line in the Pacific,
that would have abandoned" the
islands to Communistic imperial
ism, would have been a fatal err
ror," Nixon said. He noted that
Kennedy was among IL senators
who asked President Eisenhower
to establish such a boundary five
years ago.
Such action, the speaker con-
tinued, would have succeeded only
in whetting the appetites of the
Communist leaders, encouraging
them to attack and ask for more"
The speech was broken down
into four major segments by Nix
on. He said Republican admins
tration would adhere to specific
policies and plans in dealing with
dictator like Khrushchev-"a
ruthless and fanatical man who
has only one object and that is to
conquer the world"

Two Employment Security Measures In Legislature

JUNEAU, lR-Here is a con- parison of two Employment Se- curity measures now before the Alaska Legislature:
 Governor Egan's bill calls for variable tax rate based on con- tributions on the first $7,200 in salary paid to each covered work CT. The present taxable base is $4,20O.
 Sen. George McNabb, an op- ponent of the Egan measure, said the S7,200 base is meaningless be- cause he claims it is above the average wage paid in the state
 A measure introduced by Rep. Bruce Kendall R-Valdez) has the endorsement of McNabb and Hen ry Hedberg, a member of the labor lobby.
 Briefly, Kendall's bill bases the employment security program on tax formula determined from the average annual wage paid in Alaska. It would also increase benefit payments virtually across the board, providing for 26 weeks of jobless pay to an unemployed worker at about half of his nor nal pay.
 The program would be fin anced with an increase in the en- ployer tax rate of 33 per cent of the average annual wage in the state, now about $6,8OO. There is no provision for an increase in the tax rate for employees, now one half of one per cent, but the amount of contributions would depend on the average annual wage.
 Kendall's proposal would not provide for paying off the exist ing debt-about million dollars. He says that can be done only by a direct appropriation, which he proposed in an earlier bill.

Japanese Groups To Study Race
 Origins In Alaska

TOKYO, R - Two groups of Japanese scholars begin leaving for Alaska this month to make an assault on Mt. Mckinley and probe into the migration of primi- tive races between North America and Asia.
 A six-member team from Tok- yo's Waseda University, led by Professor Takamasa Yoshizaka, is leading the one-shot attempt to conquer the unscaled southwest buttress of 0,8OO-foot-high Mt. Mckinley, the highest peak in North America.
 A separate team of 16 scholars from the Meiji University of Tok- yo is launching long-term sur vey into the geography, animal and botanical life, and the racial cultures of Alaska for comparison with their findings in Japan and other portions of northeast Asia.
 In the survey, the Japanese have the collaboration of the Univer- sity of British Columbia and Washington University. It is part of a Arranging project to trace the migration of primitive races between the continents of North America and Asia and discover the origins of Japanese culture.
 The first group of the Meiji team plans to leave Tokyo by plane for Anchorage on April l.
 The Waseda party plans to leave Vancouver by boat Feb. 28. Base camp will be at the 10,100- foot point on the Talkeetna Gla- cier.
 Subsequent trips to Juneau, Sitka, Fairbanks, Point Barrow, Kotzebue, Point Hope, Nome, the Alaska Peninsula and Unimak Is- land will cover the coastal topo- graphy, and the racial cultures and backgrounds of the Eskimos and Indians.

Egan Freezes Lotteries Bill

JUNEAU R - The bill to legalize ice pools and other. forms of non-profit. gambling in Alaska ran into an Administra- ton freeze Friday.
 Governor Egan announced At torney General John Rader felt the bill would be difficult to ad- minister in it's present form.
 The bill has been passed by the Senate and approved by the House with certain amendments and was to be returned to the Senate for concurrence with the amend ments when it became known the Administration was opposed to the present form.
 Sponsoring legislators are work ing with the Attorney Generals office to add more explicit lan- guage to the measure and to specify exactly what types of ac- tivities would be sanctioned by the bill.
 Sen. John Coghill, a co-sponsor of the bill, said Democratic policy makers in the Legislature prob ably will decide whether to amend the present bill in confer ence committee or to write a new bill after the legal review is completed.
 Coghill agreed with Egan that the bill which emerges will be a stronger measure with closer re- strictions on sanctioned activities.

House Committee OK's 1860 Alaska Funds for Interior Department

WASHINGTON, R - Interior Department requests for money to be spent in Alaska during the year starting July 1 were ap- proved Friday by the House Ap- propriations Committee.
 The bill includes $837, 300 for fire control in Alaska, an in- crease of $2OO,O00 over the amount provided in the total for the pres ent fiscal year.
 The committee also approved the six-million-dollar transitional grant asked in the Presidents budget to help the state make the changeover from territory to Statehood.
 A budget request for $2,070, ,0OO to administer the Pribilof Islands was allowed, an increase of $780, 900 over the present fiscal year.
