he either doesn't want or can't

dozens Of additional arguments,
all adding up TO an advance
which will make a start at
solving our unemployment
problem, but nothing more.
Minority Opinion
There is a minority opinion,
though, that the advance will
be a powerful. speedy, "V".
These emphasize that if re-
tail sales expand as they antic-
ipate, businessmen will be re-
building inventories at a fast
rate as the year progresses, and
just as inventory cutting fed
the 1860 recessions, so inven-
tory building will feed the 1861
recovery. They point to the way
housing has started to squirt
and the stock market has been
climbing. They stress that this
upturn will not be absorbed as
the 1859 rise was by a clamp
down on credit or an abrupt
shift from a huge budget def
cit to a surplus. They insist
that the combination of rising
Government, business and
consumer spending can't help
but create a sharply rising
economy.
And most significantly, they
argue that if the administra-
ton is successful in it pleas
for more actions to slash un-
employment and spur our
growth, the result will be
slashed unemployment and
spurred growth.
The first great news is that
the advance is underway. The
second great news, I hope, will
be that the question of the
advances power and speed will
be resolved on the side of what
is now the minority view.

Baggage Is Flying, Too
By CHARLES YARBRoUGH

II Eastern Air Lines new
$14 shuttle flights to New York
do nothing more than prove
that baggage can be speedy
too it is a success with me.
Deplaneing from New York
on one of last weeks first
flights of the commuter-type
service, it took only the time
required for one wife-hug and
two kiddy-hugs until the bag
gage arrived. Total time from
takeoff run at LaGuardia to
getting -in-car at National Air
port: One hour and Is min
uteS.
One can't really apply "aus-
tere" to the service-unless the
passenger is too proud to wheel
his own baggage from the East
ern terminal at LaGuardia to
the gate (about 80 feet) in q
grocery cart.
With or without ticket, the
boarding process is simple
Take a machine-issued board
ing pass, cart luggage to the
loading gate, where it is taken
by attendants. There are no
luggage tags; a Self-claiming
system at destination is one OF
the reasons for speedy SIM
plicity.
If you're without a pre-pur-
chased ticket; the stewardess
collects, or makes adjustments
on tickets.
Aboard the 95-seat COnStel-
latiOns tthree-and-two config-
urationS) there is nothing to
show that this is an economy
flight, except there is no meal
or beverage service.
Unusual thing about the air
shuttle is the "back-up" plane
and crew. If you are the 96th
person waiting after 95 have
boarded the first plane, a Sec
ond section is ready-it could
be that you would be the only
person aboard it.
During the first weeks op-
ration, 2,110 used the shuttle
from National to LaGuardia
and four extra sections were
put into operation.
Evening star., 1961-05-10

The shuttle runs every two
hours beginning at 8 an. and
running until 10 pm, each day
with a reduced schedule on
week ends.
At LaGuardia, where razing
of the old main terminal is
about ready to start, Eastern
is spending $525, 900 to build a
temporary but adequate term
inal inside one of it's hangers.

TALKING OF BUSINESS
! DoImo Plans Sixth Store in Fall;
!: Partners Began in '49 With 500
! By TRUMAN r. TEMPLE
Star Staff Writer

Dalmo discount stores is
planning to open a sixth store
IN Southeast Washington later
this year, probably in Sep
tember or October.
Stephen H. Baumgarten.
Dalmo president, said long
range plans also call for two
additional stores in Fairfax
County and Rockville, Md. The
exact location and dates have
not been set.
: Mr.. Baumgarten said in an
Interview that the local re-
failing firm in recent months
had seriously studied the idea
OF building department store
in this area, but called off the
project because of complex
merchandising problems.
1--WE didn't want to get
embroiled in such matters as
concessions, furniture and so
OA1 1lS cAp1dLlSu.
Began in 1949
One of the merchandising
phenomena of postwar Wash
iagton' the Dalmo operation
began in 1949 as two-man
operation in a tiny $25-a-month
rented office at New York
avenue and Fourteenth street
NV. 1t now owns five stores
IN Maryland, Virginia and the
District.
Its founders were Mr.. Baum
Earten and Albert White, class
mates at George Washington
University where both re-
eeived law degrees.
The pair started with total
capital of $l00, hand-address-
ing $50 letters a day to-
lawyers and other professional
people offering a discount
service on appliances.
On Its Way
After receiving a small de-
posit, the partners would seek
out a retailer and buy the
item slightly above his own
cost. AS volume grew, distrib-
utors began cooperating with
the partners and they opened
their first discount store on
Eleventh street NV. It was
subsequently moved to Thir-
teenth and G streets NV.
Since then Dalmo has added
stores in Wheaton, Clarendon.
at 5023 Wisconsin avenue NV,
and most recently in Mount
Rainier, Md.
The firm is still a partner
ship, though Burton Polsky in
1853 replaced Mr.. White, his
brother-in-law.
Evening star., 1961-05-10

Every So to $40 billion we
add to the total output of
goods and services during the
coming months will create
about l million jobs. That's a
rule of thumb for projecting
employment trends.
Lets suppose that the 1860
81 recession is behind us and
that we're into a saucer-shaped
advance - meaning that the
pattern we draw in our econ
oIny as 1861 wears on will take
the form of a broad "U."
This would suggest that the
Gross National Product will
climb about $40 billion to
around $520-$525 billion at the
year end. Using the above rule
Of thumb, this would indicate
the creation of roughly 2 mil
lion additional jobs-enough to
absorb new workers and cut
the total of unemployment
around three-quarter million
1t would imply, as one source
put 1t, "a pretty good rise, not
q strong. but a pretty good
performance"
Possibilities Outlined
But let's suppose that from
the spring recession bottom, we
swing into a "V" shaped ad-
vance-meaning that the 1861
rise will be powerful enough
to add $50 billion to our output
or bring us to a $3.50 billion
GIMP by the year end.
Using the rule of thumb, this
would indicate the creation OF
8 million jobs-enough to alb
sorb our new workers, reduce
the total of jobless and bring
us back to the equivalent Of
full employment before the end
Of 1862.
The brightest news that can
be reported now is that the
only significant disagreement
among leading economists is
over the extent Of the new up
turn. What will the shape o1
the advance be--a "U" or a
"V"?
The majority opinion is that
the expansion will be moderate
gradual, wide "U"-and DOM
mating this group are the chief
economists of the administra-
ton.
Those foreseeing this type Of
advance emphasize that there
aren't any new stimulating
forces to push us ahead quickly

The backlog of goods is kept

Secret of Success
A major reason for the
chains success in an era of
free wheeling discounters, the
president believes, is its
STRAIGHTFORWARD selling. Dalmo
accepts no trade-ins, sells no
floor damaged items or dem
onstration models" It runs no

far so good" one wrote. Don't
relax.D
l The suggestion cards have
another purpose; they help
Dalmo determine which areas
are good sites for new stores.
Mr.. Baumgarten is part busi-
nesSman, part teacher. Though
personally shy-he regards
speeches at store openings as
his greatest hair shirt-he can
discourse for hours on morality
in selling.
"It'S q longer haul trying to
run an ethical business" he de-
clares, "but it's the tortoise
and the hare story. 1t wins in
the end"
Department Store Trend
Following a national trend
among diScounters, Dalmo has
been moving toward the de-
partment store level Of service
in several ways. Its stores offer
delivery on large appliances
within "a hours complete
with red carpet, a Dalmo-run
repair department, and credit
terms through a local bank.
! The exact annual volume of
Dalmo sales isn't made public
but it's safe to say it's several
million dollars. The firm claims
