LOCK BEHIND THE SCENES

In considering bank stocks, al
ways check up on the character,
integrity, and ambition of the men
in charge of the banks operations.
Be sure that the officials are in
good health, and that their judg-
ment is sound 1t is good sign
if they are church going men. 1t
is, of course, an extremely bad
sign if they are addicted to liquor
or indulge in known excesses.
1t is worthwhile to know the
qualifications Of the bank direc-
tors. Be sure, for instance, that
these men have not taken their
positions as mark of distinction
rather than as a responsibility. OF
course, the banks assets are un-
der the constant supervision of
the regular examiners, so there
need be little worry on this score.
Hence, if depression strikes, !
feel that bank stocks may be in a
stronger position than perhaps
any other category of stocks.

Most people look for the bank
with the largest deposits, but let
me give you a. hint about this.
When bankers talk to me about
their large deposits" l always
say, "Well, you certainly owe a
good deal of money!" Because it
should be realized that a bank s
deposits represent money that
must be paid back to the deposit
tors sooner or later Therefore,
when appraising bank statements,
be sure to subtract the deposits
from the total assets to find out
what would be left for the stock
holders

FOOTBALL TRIPS

Many who read this editorial will be
planning trips to football games in the near
future. Many have already made several
trips this fall to see football games during
the just-beginning season.
This editorial is a reminder that care
less driving, or driving after drinking, is a
practice too widely followed in the United
States. 1t is bad enough when one person
drinks and then drives, but the crowd going
or coming from a football game contains
many who have, unfortunately, had one too
many drinks.
Since the highways are crowded and
fans are in hurry, accidents are almost
certain to occur before or after important
football games.
1t is sad to think that number of foot
ball fans will be dead three months from
now as a result of an accident involving a
football trip. You might be one of them.
We suggest that you do little thinking on
this subject and resolve to start early
enough to get to the game before the last
minute rush is on, abstain from any alco-
holic drink during the game and be patient
and careful in returning home after the
game. This trite-sounding advice may save
your life-if you heed it,

A NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT

The free enterprise system of doing bus
mess has many varied characteristics. One
of the most important is the ability to dem
onstrate courage, imagination and spirit in
the face of economic adversely.
Take, for instance, REA Express which
: is the new name for the old-established Rail-
way Express Agency. Not so very long ago
it seemed to be on the verge of liquidation,
due to heavy and sustained operating losses.
But instead of giving up, those responsible
for its destinies undertook a top-tO-bottOm
improvement and reorganization program.
Large sums were budgeted for new facili-
ties. Services were speeded and broadened,
both nationally and internationally. In GER
tain major instances lower rates were Of
fered to shippers. Everything within the
power of REA Express administrators is
being done to make it more attractive to the
customer existing and potential.
The result: 1t is in far healthier shape
than it was-and there is every indication
that it will go ahead as solvent and val
ued part of the American economic COM
munity.
1t should be added that this achievement
is made all the more notable by the fact
that REA Express must compete for a siz-
able portion of it's business-the parcel bus
iness-with a subsidized government SER
vice, parcel post. One hope-and one which
certainly should be shared by all taxpayers
lis that parcel post charges will be ad-
justed to the point where they honestly re-
fleet costs.

DISENGAGEMENT


1t is reported for various sources that
the Kennedy Administration - specifically
Secretary of State Dean Rusk-is consider
ing "disengagement" in central Europe, as
a possible course of action which might
bring about successful negotiations with the
Soviet Union on the Berlin crisis.
This is not new. Disengagement has
come up over the years, time after time, but
during the years when President Eisenhow-
er occupied the White House, it was always
rejected
The basic idea behind the theory of dis
engagement is that both the West and the
Communists would withdraw their forces
from Central Europe. 1t is argued that
when this has taken place, the atmosphere
will have been improved, the danger of war
lessened and the chances of successful talks
with the Soviets enhanced.
1t is a false argument and dangerous
scheme of appeasement
Of course, the Soviets would be glad to
talk about the withdrawal of United States
troops from Central Europe. They could
easily withdraw their troops, or some of
them, and have them replaced with troops
of the stO0ge countries they keep under
Moscow's thumb.
The apepasement-idea of refusing to al
low the West Germany Army to obtain nu-
clear weapons finds ready response among
many people in the countries which fought
Hitler's Germany. But West Germany to-
day. is our strongest European ally. She is
vital and effective democracy
The United States must take chance
on her loyalty and support, just as it does
on that of France. We are bound by treaty,
and we must trust our allies, even though
they are former enemies lest we drive these
democratic countries into the arms of the
Communities 'ssasstss
