Make Thrift
Attractive,
Expert Says

Banks, savings and loans and
other institutions interested in
promoting thrift were advised
here yesterday to get into step
with the times and promote
the idea that saving is fun and
satisfying.
. Ernest Dichter, president Of
the Institute for Motivational
Research. told the National
Thrift Congress meeting at the
Statler-H Hilton that people con-
cerned with thrift should &C.
cept the appeal Of charge
accounts and installment buy
ing as inevitable aspects Of hui
man development.
Rather than letting your
selves be pushed into a defen-
sive situation and crying out
with indignation against the
immortality Of our times, you
will have to become realists and
try 70 find how to persuade
people that saving can lead to
q greater enjoyment Of living,
Mr.. Dichter declared.
He suggested these guides In
efforts to encourage saving
Give people permission to fail
as savers: people will save for
q sunny day, saving is done for
self-realization, saving leads to
freedom Of choice. people want
money to work for them.
In a vigorously growing econ
omy, thrift is not only a special
virtue, 1t is q social necessity

Before the 1960-6l recession
is forgotten, let's ask ourselves
one vital question: What did
we. do right to make it mild and
short?
The most important thing
that we, as consumers, did was
to spend steadily throughout
the downturn, and the reason
for this Is that incomes held
up remarkably well. At the
bottom of the recession last
March, personal incomes were
at q rate Of $409.6 billion
against 1897 billion at the peak
of the previous upturn a year
ago March. In the face Of a
major drop in factory payrollS,
wages and salaries actually rose
because higher payrolls In the
service industries and in Gov
ernment more than offset the
decreases. Federal payments in
the form Of jobless insurance
and social security benefits rose
billions during the recession
putting immediate spending
money in the hands Of the least
fortunate.
Incomes Held Up
What we did right, then, was
to maintain personal incomes
so that we could maintain buy
ing and thereby assure that
the downturn would be mild
and short. Our great built-in
stabilizers worked wonders, and
millions continued to get pay
raises. "A lesson this offers Is
that we should use this time OF
upturn to overhaul and update
the jobless insurance system
and other stabilizers so they'll
be even better anti-receSsion
weapons next time they're
needed.
The most important thing
the Federal Reserve System did
was to start pumping credit
into the banking system the
instant it recognized the econ
omy was weakening. By taking
the brake off financing OF
projects which make Jobs and
paychecks, the Federal Reserve
cushioned the downturn and
laid the basis for the current
expansion. Tight money con-
tributed to the 1960-6l recess
sion; easy money contributed
to its end.
What the Federal Reserve
System did right. therefore, was
to act quickly and aggresSively
at the first hint Of trouble. A
lesson this presents to the Fed
eral Reserve is that it should
use these months Of upturn To
perfect its money market tech
niques to improve its function
of cheapening credit at the
start Of the next downturn.
The most important thing
businessmen did was maintain
and increase their spending on
research, for this is the spend
ing which will create our future
booms. Outside Of this. their
actions don't deserve many
orchids. They slashed their in
ventories in 1860, thereby mag
nifying t he downturn. They
reduced their spending on new
