The Spender who hasn't mis-
behaved during the recession
is the consumer. On the con-
trary. consumers acted most ra-
tionally.
The same compliment can't
be paid to the Federal Govern
ment, for Government spending
has been fluctuating violently
in the last few years. AS an
Illustration, Federal spending
designed to fight the 1858 re-
ceSSion scared after that re-
cesSion ended-thereby creating
the inflationary pressures in
herent in a record peacetime
deficit during a cycle of strong
business advance. Then the
budget swung back to sur
plus with such unprecedented
abruptness that by late 1859,
the tax take was putting the
economy under powerful defla-
tionary pressures. The 1860 re-
ceSsion can be traced in part
at least to the timing and mag
nitude of this unplanned Fed
eral budget swing.
The compliment can't be paid

tc the Federal Reserve System
either, for in its efforts to
combat the undesirable pres
sures caused by the Federal
budget, the Federal Reserve has
been riding a money roller
coaster of its own. In 1859
it sharply curbed the supply of
credit to curb inflationary bor-
rowing; in 1860 it poured bill
lions into the banking system
to encourage borrowing. While
there are plenty of juStifica-
tions for the Federal Reserves
zigs and ZagS in money policy,
the swings surely have been
extremely sharp.
Nor does the businessman
deserve any compliments. Ac-
tually. induStrialiSts have been
guilty Of precisely the exceSses
of eXubernace and caution they
haughtily attribute to you and
me. When the steel strike ended
in late 1859, they rushed to
load up on inventories. When
they discovered they had over
loaded. they began cutting back
at a multi-billion dollar rate. A
similar up-down pattern has
characterized business spending
for new plants and equipment.
But you? You have been a
model of stability and con-
Servatism-and since you buy
IS cents Of every 81 of goods
and services produced, your ac-
tions have been an immense
influence.
It's true you've been spend
ing a bigger percentage of your
income for services, a smaller
percentage for big ticket hard
goods. There's no denying that
when you spend $1,000 on ap-
pllanceS. you do a lot more to
spur production than when you
spend $1,000 on your child's
education. There's no doubt
that the shifts in your spend
ing habits in the last several
years have had a significant
impact on the economy. And
there's no mistaking the fact
that for some time now your
buying has not given an lex
Iplosive" stimulant to industry.
But the shining point is that
during the recession, you did
not pull back on spending, you
were neither scared nor stam-
peded into exaggerated actions
by what you saw and heard.
You, who so often have been
scolded by businessmen for be-
ing capriciouS, have instead
been a stabilizing, sustaining
force. The whole country would
move ahead faster and more
powerfully if businessmen and
Government would stop malig-
ming and start copying us.

Automotion Solves
And'Creotes Problems

/ Representative Holland, OF
Pennsylvania, in a report to
President Kennedy summed up
the effects of automation this
way:
/ When new mechanical or
electronic devices are installed,
assurances are given workers
in many industries that they
will not be hurt or fired. How
ever, when they leave - due to
retirement or resignation-no
one is hired to replace them.
1T seems that one of the
greatest problems with auto
nation is not the worker who
is fired but the worker
who is not hired.
/ Says Walter Reuther, pres
ident of the United Auto Work
ers Union:
Thousands Of workers have
been relegated by. automation
to the ranks of the technologic-
ally unemployed"
But, answers Malcolm . L.
Denise, vice president, labor
relations. Ford Motor Co., and
a highly regarded industry
spokesman on automation:
Nobody really can measure
(automation's effect on en-
ployment) in a dynamic econ
omy. To begin with, it is not
possible even to get a complete
and meaningful count of people
initially disemployed as the
direct result Of automating
operations"
Processes Spreading
Last January, R. Conrad
Cooper, executive vice pres
ident. United States Steel,
declared, steel employment is
at low levels today not due to
/ chronological displacement, but
primarily because the industry S
customers are not, for the time
begin, ordering as much steel
as before"
Every day there are new re-
ports of further automatic pro-
CeSSes.
The National Planning AS
Sociation estimates that pres
ent industrial output could be
produced next year with Ia
per cent fewer workers, due to
automation.
| Mr.. Reuther estimates that
automation and technology
will displace % million workers
in the next decade.
Industry Spokesmen feel that
nothing can-or should-Stop
the spread of automation, that,
in the words of John Diebold,
an expert in the field, auto
nation is our key to the pro-
ductivity increase necessary for
economic growth"

BY NATE POLOWETZKY
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE
story of automation begins with
the invention of the wheel in
hiStory's dim past. 1t is still
unrolling.
In one form or another,
automation has always been
part of mans economic activ-
ity. But the current high job
leSSness. in the United States
in February when 5,7O5,000
were unemployed, has placed
it under new scrutiny.
Says an unemployed auto
worker in Detroit: "Automation
has kicked me out in the street
for good"
Says a leading advocate of
more and more automation !:
From my personal experience
l do not know of a single case
in this country in which an
individual worker was harmed
by automation."
Attenuation has transformed
American agriculture and has
made great inroads in nearly
every economic segment: autos,
steel, textiles, mining, commu-
nications, railroading. canning,
government, insurance, banking
and clerical.
Many Jobs Eliminated
1t has also permanently elm
mated tens of thousands of
jobs in many OF these indus
tries.
Nearly all observers agree
that automation is necessary
TO compete in the world mark
cts. because automation is in
creaSing abroad. Nikita Khru-
shchev has said the Soviet
Union will use automstion as a
weapon to destroy Western cap
italiSm.
What effect has sutomation
had on the individual worker?
Has it been the cause-more
than any other factor - Of
permanent unemployment9
No Definite Answer
There is no definite answer
only conflicting testimony.
William McC. Martin. jr.,
head of the Federal Reserve
System, recently told a con-
greSsional committee:
The problem of structural
unemployment is manifest in
the higher total of those left
unemployed after each wave
Of the three most recent bust
ness cycles and in the idleness

Japan Aid Set
At$554 Million

TOKYO. May 20 (AP).-
The United States has asked
Japan to pay 1854 million in
settlement of postwar recovery
aid. Tokyo repeatedly has Of
fered only $430 million.
U. S. Ambassador Edwin o.
ReiSchauer delivered a note to
the japanese government on
the debt issue yesterday.
Informed sources said the
note contained the 1854 mil
lion figure but official COM
ment was unavailable.
In the first talks on the debt
question held in Washington
in 1854, the United States was
understood to have proposed
$640 million.
Total aid, which Japan re-
ceived under United States
postwar recovery and relief
programs, is estimated at
around $1.8 billion.
