Stock Rise in Recession Is Usual

Since October Of 1860 the
business downswing has been
spreading.
Since October Of 1860 the
stock market has been climb
ing, and at this writing the
Dow-Jones index Of industrial
stocks Is 80 points above the
October low. The recent rise
has, in fact, narrowed to an
insignificant percentage last
years entire stock market de-
cline.
What sort Of paradox Is
this?" professionals in Wall
Street as well as amateurs are
asking. I'm the face Of the
bad news, how cockeyed can
q stock market act?"
The answer Is it's not a
paradox at all. The stock
usually has acted this way
during mild receSSionS.
In four Of the five milder
economic downswings going
back to World War I. stock
prices actually rose. Leonard
H. Lempert Of Statistical In
dicator Associates emphasizes,
assuming this Is o mild down.
swing. "A market rise at this
time is compatible with cycli-
cally expected developments. -
At the six-month point after
the business peak in 1858, stock
prices on average were up
more than 6 per cent. At the
six-month point after the 1926
recession-to which the cur
rent business decline bears a
provocative resemblance-stock
prices on average were up
more than 5 per cent.
Answers Clear
If this Is so," you then
might continue. why is 1t so?
Who Is buying stocks today?"
The answers here are clear.
A first reason stock prices
have been climbing Is that buy
ers are betting on a mild, COM
paratively short recession.
Personal incomes and con-
sumer spending are holding up
magnificently. There are en-
couraging signs that the clean

WILLIAM S. WHITE
Our Position On Berlin Talks

because it holds the greatest
single responsibility within
the Western Alliance, felt
obliged not fully to adopt his
gloomy view until it had ex-
plored all conceivable and
more hopeful alternatives.
We have now gone the last
mile in trying to do just that.
So We have come back rough
ly to where Gen. de Gaulle
stood from the first.
All this means that we are
more and more committed to
the sound idea that it is pow
er that will convince the Rus
sianS-not endless talk and
not even staying on the good
side Of world opinion" In a
deep sense. therefore, the in
fluence of the worlds neu-
tralists on our high policy is
ste a dily declining - even
though it may be tactless to
say as much now that the
worlds leading neutral, Prime
Minister Nehru of India, is an

u. S. Believed Close to De GouIIe View
After Exploring Hopeful Alternatives

The United States has pro-
gressed from a phase of pub
licly inviting decent negotia-
tions with the Russians over
Berlin through a phase of
quiet exploration of the pos
Sibility of such negotiations
to a present phase of stand
ing pat and awaiting devel-
opments.
In the jargon Of the times,
when every policy attitude
must be either a hard line"
or a soft line," the present
policy may be described as
hard line" That is, the
Kennedy administration has
given up hope of any useful
talks with the Soviet Union
as matters now stand. And
we no longer go out looking
for talks.
There is. Of, course, more
than a little over -simplifica-
ton in this. But then there
is a great deal of over-simp-
lification in all slogan-te
like hard" and soft" 1t
is a pity we cannot dispense
altogether with them. For
they imply that you have
simply got to be either very
tough" or very soft" and
that no shading in between,
no room for trial and man
euver. is either permissible
or possible.
In plain common sense, of
course, no high and danger
Gus and complicated matter
of state can be so neatly, so
totally. separated as between
all-white and ail-black. Still,
it is our national habit, of
which we are all more or less
guilty, to demand that every

ingly and briefly-preferably

in the situation says of the

1T was very bad. McCone
did not have the facts. He
said they were speaking for
Caltech and they were not.
He hated to onced e that
they had a right to speak as
citizens. We warned him his
attitude was wrong and would
only get him into all kinds of
trouble"
The joint committee ma
jority concluded it could keep
him off the political pre-

benefit from his driving pur-
pose and competence. Their
relations were good during
his tenure, partly because he
scrupulously kept his con-

This is being written just
after returning from the
school building near my
home in Fairfax County, Va.
where my ballot was cast for
the Democratic Party'S can
didate for Governor, A. S.
Harrison, jr., and several
other Democratic nominees
for local offices.
Having again and again
voted the Democratic ticket
for State and county officials
in this historic State. where
the tradition Of Thomas JEFF
ferSon still flourishes, the
temptation is to grow a bit
cynical, perhaps, and ask
oneself what it really means
to be a Democrat.
Is it the same thing as it
was so years ago this month,
when this writer made his
first and only political speech
during a campaign and asked
the voters then to elect
Woodrow Wilson Governor of
New Jersey on the Demo-
cratic ticket to help get rid
of party bosses?
Is it the same thing as it
was when this writer-had
he not at the time been vote
less. along with other resi-
dents of the District of CO.
lumbia - told friends he
would have cast his ballot for
James M. Cox, Democrat. in
1920. or John w. Davis, Dem
ocrat, in 1924, or Alfred E.
Smith, Democrat, in 1923?
And was it "deserting" a
party when in November.
1882. the vote would have
been recorded for the Repub-
lican administration due to a
belief that continuity in the
Presidency would avert the
economic collapse that did
come in March. 1888, because
the incoming administration
refused to cooperate with the
outgoing administration in
the fateful transition period
of four months? And what

thereafter. when the Repub-
lican Party found itself sup
ported by conservative"
Democrats who thought the

Frontier" were synonyms for

So in this kind of newt
able terminology. our present
line is hard" or tough
or in more exact fact simply

greatly reserved.
While we are not bound to
refuse any true opportunity
for sensible negotiation that
might conceivably be offered
by the Russians. we are no
longer willing to take the
lead in offering negotiations
only to see our overtures used
for insolent Soviet propa-
ganda refusals.
Thus, in spite of months of
clamor that the United States
was surelv going tn be per-
sistentlv soft" while French
President Charles de Gaulle
was surely going to be
tough" the actual truth is
this: We are now very close
to what had been Gen. de
Gaulle's position from the
start.
That is. we now find he
was right in the first place
in his suspicion that the Rus
slams were not yet ready for
any honorable accommoda-
ton over Berlin. In a limited
sense. therefore, it was cor
rect for a long time to say
that there was a genuine divi-
sion between the United
States and France. But it
was also a quite limited divi-
sion, concerned more with
timing than substance. and

closed.

Misuse of Political Labels Over Years

And if one lives in New

Democrat should not vote for
an able public servant like
James F. Mitchell, former

Also, if one lives in Texas

did one have to vote the
Democratic ticket lest it be
