Dillon Says Outflow
Of Gold Is Being Cut

Treasury Secretary Dillon
today reported a sharp i'm
provement in the United
States balance of payments
during the January-March
quarter.
! Although figures have not
yet been calculated in detail,
he estimated that the pay
ments deficit was at an an
nual rate of 81 billion to SIS
billion, down from a $5.8 bill
lion rate in the fourth quar-
ter of last year. The deficit
for all of 1860 was $3.8 bill
lion.
The United States has been
running large deficits on its
balance of payments ledger be-
cause spending, investments,
loans, grants and other out
lays abroad have exceeded re-
ceipts from abroad. Large
deficits last year caused a big
outflow of gold, temporarily
shaking world confidence in
the dollar.
Mr.. Dillon made his estimate
during testimony before the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee on President Kennedy'S
proposals for tax revision.
Meets Criticism
He ran into sharp criticism
by members of the taX-writing
committee especially on the
Presidents proposal to reduce
incentives for American cor
porationS to invest abroad.
The proposal would require
foreign subsidiaries of American
companies to pay United States
taxes on their overseas earn
ingS. Existing law allows them

caution him to center his fire
on Senator Blakley personally
and take no chance of arous-
ing latent party loyalties.
The Texas liberals who are
more or less covertly urging
a boycott of the May 27 elec-
ton argue that as a fresh
man Republican, Mr.. Tower
will count little at Washing
ton. They are probably right
about that. Whether they
could easily defeat him for
reelection, as they claim, is
more questionable.
Mr.. Tower would certainly
be far down on the commit
tee totem pole for the imme-
diate future. Via Vice Presi-
dent johnson, to whom he
has been a liberal contribu-
tor, Senator Blakley has two
important committees, Judi

While Other Free Motions Discard 1t

grams do not understand that
for the most part, the COM
panies that use televiSion are
interested in reaching the
maximum number of listen
erS.
So, when a Government Of
ficial comes along and says,
in effect. that these compa-
MES should content them
selves with smaller numbers
of listeners, this is tanta-
mount to saying that the ad-
vertiSerS should be content
with a lack of effective re-
suits and should take the
losses flowing from such a
curtailed sales effort.
Unless, of course. private
sponsors are willing to buy
time for programs that will
bring to them sales results
to justify their expenditures,
the television and radio sta
tionS will lose money and the
Government will have to sub
SidiZe them. This means po-
litical control and Govern
ment interference with the
operations of private business.
Interestingly enough, Great
Britain, which started out
with a government-owned
and government controlled
television network, without
any advertising, now is con-
fronted with the ull-fledged
competition of a privately es-
tablished network which not
only takes advertising but to-
day has the bigger audiences.
These programs are very
much like American TV-in
fact, some of the most popu-
lar are reruns of American
TV shows. The same thing is
happening in Canada, in
Japan, in Mexico, and in
Latin America.
So it is surprising to see
the head of the FEC in this
country trying to turn the
clock back. For it is newt
able that. if his threat is full
filled - to take away station
licenses unless they conform
to his rules as to the pro-
grams that shall be broad
cast - then television in
America will be paralyzed.
Somehow many theorists
who get into Government do
not understand the workings
of the free-enterprise system.
Also, some people who have
been applauding Mr.. Minow's
program time cannot be paid

There is a line in Carl
Sandburg's poem concerning
"The Family Of Man" which
says, There is only one man
In the world and his name is
all men," And this is philo-
sophically true.
But, for a few minutes
after the historic blast-off Of
the Redstone rocket at Cape
Canaveral there was. in so
far as 180 million Americans
we're aware, but one man in
the world and his name was
Alan B. Shepard.
He left the world and re-
turned to it. And that por-
ton Of it to which he came
back was better because Of
him. He had not remade it.
He had solved none of its
pressing international prob
lens. But he had trans
formed its spirit.
For a time he had been
where the winds blow be-
tween the planets. When he
had returned, it seemed,
somehow, as if the rushing
speed of these winds had
blown away a miasma of fail
ure. disappointment, frustra-
ton and doubt. His swift
flight out of this world and
his re-entry into it lifted up
hearts and minds.

Possibility of Towers Senate Victory
Over Democrat BIokIey Seen Here
DORIS FLEESON

The scent Of a Texas upset
which would give the State
a Republican United States
Senator has reached Wash
ington. Republicans hesitate
to be optimistic lest they be
disappointed, liberal Demo-
Gratis like it fine, and Demo-
Gratis. generally, are indif-
ferent.
The outcome rests with a
special election May q when
the balloting will be solely
confined to the question Of
whether an ultraconservative
young Republican, John Tow
er, or an ultraconservative
elderly Democrat, Senator
William A. Blakley, should
have the place vacated by
Vice President Johnson.
It is in every sense a lone
shot election and it is this
fact which gives Mr.. Tower
his chance. While Republic
cans twice carried Texas for
Gen. Eisenhower, they have
made little progress in State
wide power. Nonetheless, par
ty ties have been substantially
weakened in recent years,
and Texas Democrats also are
fighting and feuding among
themselves with rare aban-
don.
If the Senate were more
narrowly divided, even Sem
ator Blakley, who almost
never votes with the Ken
nedy administration. could
appeal to party solidarity.
But Democrats now have 80
Senate votes to spare and
there is a feeling in party
circles generally that it could
spare Senator Blakley's bet
ter than most.
Texans here size up Mr..
Towers assets about as fol-
lows:
The vote in an election of
this sort normally is light
with the cities furnishing by
far the bulk Of the ballots.
Mr.. Towers strength is in
the cities where many news
papers either support him
or give him an even break.
The rural voters welded to
the Democratic Party will
not come out in any num-
ber.
Mr.. Blakley has campaign
ed vigorously and has not
kept secret his disgust for
the New Frontier. 1t is sug-
gested that he has possibly
alienated some Kennedy sup
porters among otherwise or
thodox Democrats and has
given the Negro vote free to

Comdr. Shepords Rocket Flight Called

For a time on that day, the

for by the television COM
panies themselves but only
by the advertisers who are
willing to buy time. And why
should the latter spend their
sales money to cater to a mi
nority of listeners when they
can alternatively use those
same funds in newspapers,
magazines, direct by mail,
billboards and other forms of
advertising available to them
and puff their wares as much
as they please?
Mr.. Minow has brought
CONSERVATION to the whole
televiSion industry by his
threat to use the Govern
ment's licensing power to dis
cipline radio and television
stations. For they themselves
have no control over the
money the advertisers want
to spend for programs which
can interest the maximum
number of people.
Not everybody who watches
a television show pays atten-
ton to sales messages any
more than ads in newspapers
or magazines are read by 100
per cent of the readers. But,
as the late Albert D. Lasker.
the great genius OF modern
advertising, once jestingly
said to this correspondent:
I'VE don't pay for our ads in
unopened magazines. We
only pay for our ads in those
magazines that are opened
and read and get us results"
The Government cannot
guarantee sales results to the
advertisers if it starts to in
sist upon programs that will
satisfy the few rather than
the many. The answer to the
demands for cultural and in
formative programs is to pre-
sent some, Of course, on the
national networks as is
already being done by those
advertisers who sponsor them.
But there. cannot be an end
on television to crime shows,
Westerns and stories Of the
ingenuity Of detectives, any
more than there can be a
burning Of books dealing with
those same subjects.
The real answer to the cries
OF the eggheads and high
brows is to establish separate
networks subsidized by the
Governmental no other way
can be found to finance
them. But no advertiser will
spend his money waStefully.
He will spend it only to get
results in sales.

DAVID LAWRENCE

At a time when the entire
world, with the exception of
the Communist-bloc coun-
tries, is moving away from
government control and state
monopoly in televiSion broad
casting, the United States
under the Kennedy admins
tration is moving toward
Government dictation.
This may be due to the
lack of business background
among high officials inside
the administration here, and
particularly it may be due to
the failure of the new chair
man of the Federal Com
municationS Com mi S S ion,
Newton N. Minow, to under
stand the private enterprise
system as it relates to broad
casting.
For, when Mr.. Minow says
he wishes the broadcaSting
stations to alter their pro-
grams so as to cater more
to the cultural and educa-
tional side, he fails to under
stand that radio and tele-
vision are supported by the
efforts of American busi-
nesses to get sales for their
products. The sponsors OF
TV programs pay large sums
not only to cover the ex-
pense of the mechanical
facilities of a broadcasting
company but also the entire
cost of actors, writer's, tech
nicians, producers and other
personnel.
The companies which spend
their money to sponsor pro-
grams naturally want sales
so as to pay their own costs
of production and their en-
ployes. The whole national
output Of $500 billion a year
is directly related to how
many and what kind of prod
ucts will be bought by the
public.
Television and radio go to
a large degree to what is
termed a mass audience"
The sellers of products want
as many potential purchasers
as possible to listen to their
messages. There are, OF
course, some companies whose
sales messages are Of inter-
est to a limited group. and
this includes what is known
as goodwill or institutional
or financial advertising. But,

as a man who played well
that role. Alan Shepard and
he as individuals make us

Comdr. Shepard controlled

that all was well, that the
myriad of dials, valves, wires,

and the dozens Of recording
devices were functioning to-
gether in the manner of a
vast mechanical symphony.
Alan Shepard was a
prepared man, inwardly as
well as outwardly. He knew
what to do with each of the
many controls before him.
But this alone was not
enough. Outside him was
space. For a time he was free
