YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Upturn Has Long Way to Go
BY SYLVIA PORTER

If the upswing in the econ
omy were to falter now, It
would mean that we're not even
maintaining our slow, indiSput-
ably inadequate growth rates
of the past several years. 1t
would indicate that chronic
slack" is a bitter reality in busi-
ness today and we're not max
ing the grade despite the stim-
ulation Of Federal Government
spending. an hpturn in busi-
ness spending and a rise in
consumer spending. 1t would
suggest that not only have we
not learned to live without in
flation but we actually also
miss the feverish price rises
which destroy our dollars
purchasing power.
None of this makes sense.
Thus, I'm not going along
with the current fears that the
business recovery which began
in March already is petering
out.
Rather, the evidence is that
although the pace of the up
turn has slowed this fall, we
still are in the early stages of
a major business advance which
has a long way to go.
Facts Are Cited
There's no point in ignoring
the facts that businessmen and
financiers are disappointed
about the economy's recent
performance. many are reexam-
lining estimates and projections
and there is a tendency to
downgrade forecasts. Once
again. executive suites are
echoing with the slippery
phrases, cautious optimism"

At a convention of bankers
recently. concern was expressed
about the failure of corpora
tions to request much larger
loans to finance rebuilding of
inventories. buying of new
equipment and construction of
new plants. At every conference
of economists since summer
ended, a key area Of worry has
been the refusal Of consumers
to go on a buying spree.
Observers care fretting about
the possibility that if corpora
tions can't raise prices in
coming months, there,l be an
other depressing squeeze on
corporation profits next year.
There's no denying that there's
plenty of excess plant capacity
right now, the rate of unem-
ployment sticks at a high level,
competition is fierce at home
and abroad.

pohtan Washington Advertising
Club, Mr.. Divers. a former
chairman of the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board. said it was
unfortunate he could not say
the same for the State of Mary
land.
Some Of the associations in
Maryland have their accounts
insured and more of them do
not, as the public is finding out
each day." he declared.
No one has ever lost a cent
in a savings account insured by
the Federal Savings and Insur-
ance Corp, he emphasized.
The 27 Federally insured as
sociations Of the District have
more than STA billion of assets
and hold the savings of 448, 1926
persons totaling $1.250,000,0 900
and averaging nearly 1890 per
account, he added.
10000 Per Day Added
Nationally, more than 29 mil
lion people have accounts in
savings and loan associations,
which have their accounts in
sured by the FSLIC, he re-
ported. This total is growing
at the rate OF 10000 each work
ing dayl4he added.
The aver age account is
around $2i00, which means
that these associations have
more than $50 billion of saw
ings entrusted to them, he said.
This money does not stay
in the vault" Mr.. Divers con-
tinued. Part Of it is kept in
cash and Government bonds
in case you want to withdraw
your money at any time. The
great bulk of our savings is in
vested in home mortgages.

Validity Weighed

But wait. While we are chal-
lenging problems and the econ
omy's growth, let's weigh the
validity and meaning of these
worries.
Sluggish bank loans: The
reason bank loans have been
tagging is not that corporations
haven't been increasing spend
ing; they have. A key reason
is that in this expansion to
date, corporations have been
able to accumulate big CHUNKS
of cash on their own-because
of accelerated depreciation
better control of inventories
and Of their funds. Another
reason is that they've been able
to raise much more money
through sales Of stock. So far,
they simply haven't been as
dependent on bank loans as in
past periods of rising business.
Sensible consumers: Today's
consumer is spending his money
differently from the consumer
of the 50s-he's devoting a
bigger percentage to services,
he's a more sophisticated buyer,
he is aware that goods are
ample, prices are stable and
he's not being stampeded by
either war talk or initiation
Scares. But today's consumer
still is spending record
amount and with personal in
