Deficits Explained
But how explain the deficits
of the 1950s? These we're
years Of unparalleled boom.
These were years during which
the Republicans controlled the
White House and former
Treasury Secretary Humphrey
made his famous forecast
that If expenditures were not
reduced we would "have a de-
preston that would curl your
hair" Yet in that whole dec
ade, there we're only three
budget surplus years-the big
'gest totaling $3.5 billion and
achieved under President Tru-
man, the other two totaling
SIS billion each and achieved
under Mr.. Eisenhower.
The only way to explain the
deficits of the l950s is that we
didn't grow enough to create
the taxes on pay and profits
to cover the spending demand
to fight the cold war and pro-
vide services deemed essential
or desirable for the people.
And the only way we'll
achieve budget surpluses in the
1960S is to grow enough to
create the taxes to cover ever
rising Government spending

Budget Box Score: SurpIuses Rare
" SYLVIA PORTER

At midnight on Friday the
Government will close the
books on the first budget un-
der President Kennedy. 1t will
show a red ink entry of around
SO billion-and this deficit at
the very start of the Kennedy
Administration is, political ex-
perts warn. going to set off a
bitter fight over the White
Houses spending plans.
The fight is understandable.
In fact, it's tradition.
But if you trace our budget
history during this generation,
you might properly wonder
why we still expect surpluses.
Black ink has become the
rarity.
Surpluses Are Few
How many times have we
had surpluses during the 1950s
"a prosperous decade? In
only three of the 10 budget
years. How many times have
we had surpluses in the 1940s?
In only two of the 10 budget
years. How many times have
we had surpluses in the 1930s?
In only one Of the 10 budget
years.
You must go back to the
pre-1929 years-before the time
of the majority of Americans
now living-to find a surplus
of budget surpluses. and even
then there we're plenty of de-
fects, as the table below shows.
AS far as Kennedy's first
budget is concerned, the rea-
sons for the red ink are clear.
He inherited a record-sized
spending budget from Presi-
dent Eisenhower, and with the
willing help of Congress he
has added to it. At the same
time. he inherited a recession
which has cut sharply into
the tax take, and the recovery
isn't far along enough to have
much influence as yet on the
tax haul. Considering the de-
cline in income and the SWELL

is moderate.

A House subcommittee today

which are outside the strict
regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
William H. Claflin, chairman
of the board of the National
Association of Securities Deal

vate organization of over-the-

and tries to enforce its own

The Commerce subcommit-

Mack, Democrat of Illinois, is
holding hearings on a resolu-
ton to authorize $750,000 for
the SEC to make a searching
inquiry into all stock exchanges

SEC Chairman William L.

ber of issuers. in whose securi-

industrial Psychology Concern
Probes Wide Range Of Problems
BY TRUMAN r. TEMPLE
star staff Writer

That old bromide about the
company with too many chiefs
and no Indians has a new twist
at an Arlington (Va9 concern.
It's probably the only COM
pany where staff psychologists
outnumber the secretaries.
Applied Psychology Corp. or
APCO as it's called, has sur
veyed attitudes of employees for
a group of more than 100 hos
pitals.
1t is winding up a contract
with the Federal Aviation
Agency to study ways of avoid
ing mid-air collisions.
Currently APCO is also busy
surveying the private and frank
opinions Of members in an eye
specialists association about
their organization and where
it's going.
Founded in 1852 by a psy-
chologiSt, Robert B. Sleight.
the reserach firm has studied a
whole spectrum Of industries
seeking ways to cut worker
fatigue, increase safety, raise
efficiency and morale.
Blue Chip Clients
Though small go employees
including II psychologists plus
a handful Of other specialistS) i,
the company has a list of blue
chip corporations among its
clients. Westinghouse, IBM
and Ansco to name three, have
engaged its services at one time
or another. Half a dozen Fed
eral agencies including the Ma
tional Institutes of Health ask
it for help with odd problems
involving workers and ma
chimes.
Like the marriage counselor,
APCO finds itself obliged to
walk a tightrope in many a
situation.
John Robinson, vice presi-
dent and program director,
points out that single consid-
Grafton such as how to paint
aircraft to make them con-
spicuous involves the interest of
many people-i.e., the paint
manufacturers. airlines who
cherish the Identification value
of their own paint schemes,
and owners of priavte planes
who have always been free to
choose the colors suiting them
and who must also worry about
costs.
Saves Embarrassment
Manufacturers have found
that hiring psychologists to
feel out the probable reception
of new product can save both
money and embarrassment. An
example was the company that
asked DR.. Sleight to interview
pediatricians privately on how
they felt about a new gadget
making it possible to feed babies
solid foods at an earlier age
than usual.
