YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
The New Consumer
BY SYLVIA PORTER

Never before have consumers
been analysed so relentlessly
for clues to the current eco
nomic trend. Consumers ac-
count for more than two-thirds
of all the spending in the Ma
ton. They unquestionably are
the most crucial force in the
economic structure.
Who are consumers and
what are they likely to do? For
some revealing points, read the
answers in this interview with
A. w. Zelomek, president of the
International Statistical Bu-
reau. visiting professor at the
University of Virginia Gradu-
ate School of Business Admin
istration, and an authority on
the American consumer
@. Porter: Who is the So
called new American consumer?
A. ZelOmek: One thing is
clear-he has little semblance
to the United States consumer
of the past. In 1860, So per cent
of American families received
annual incomes of $4,000 or
over as compared with 1913 per
cent in 1947. Despite rising
taxes and higher living costs,
his total retained income also
is the highest on record.
Despite the fact that today's
consumer has a greater debt,
his total net equity (his finan-
cial assets minus liabilities is
at an all-time peak too. And
the stress about the consumer
being overly in debt is quite
exaggerated, l think, for there
has been a marked increase in
the growth of savings per 81
of increase in debt in the past
10 years. In 1850, this
amounted to 49 cents, but in
1860, it reached $1.10.
Changes in Spending
@. Porter: What are the
major changes in consumer
spending in recent years?
A. ZelOmek: The most out
standing is the extent to which
we are spending for services.
| In 1850, the consumer spent
1873 per cent on services. 66.7
per cent on goods. In 1860, he
put 400 per cent into services
59.8 per cent into goods.
These rising expenditures foI

New German Postage Meter Enters
Stiff Competition in RichU.S. Field
By TRUMAN r. TEMPLE
Star ST II Writer

The Germans have officially
invaded a new consumer mar
ket here. the specialized post
age meter industry.
The United States Post Of
flee has just granted approval
to a meter made by Tele- Norm
Corp. of Frankfurt. for use
throughout the Nation.
The Germans are up against
formidable odds. Not only does
one company, Pitney-Bowes,
Inc. stand like a colossus over
competitors, but postage me-
tiers. are a kind of special
nightmare for any sales force.
You can't sell a meter to
anybody-only rent it. The
reason is that Uncle Sam
wants to keep tight control on
the more than 81 billion in
postage that clicks through
meters every year. The theory
is that a dishonest company
owning meter might be more
tempted to tinker with the
dials. especially if its postage
ran to thousands of dollars.
Needs Service Unit
But renting machines. as
P-B employees testify. requires
a speedy, efficient service de-
partment. If a customers
meter conks out at 4 pm. on
a Friday, you've got to get him
a new meter fast, or he'll blow
his stack" a P-B official
admits.
A broken meter must be
taken to the Post Office, where
it's meter reading is transferred
to another machine. The latter
is then rushed back to the
customer.
Red tape weighs heavily on
the meter industry, too. since
records must be kept on every

unit for the Post Office. When
a user is through with the
gadget, another trip is neces-
sary to pick it up.
P-B Sewed up the market so
effectively a few years ago-95
per cent. according to one
source-that it achieved the
ultimate flattery, Justice De-
partment trust-busting action
1t signed a consent decree in
1859 promising to create COM
petition by sharing it's patents
with newcomers and instruct
ing them how to service the
meters.
Has New Angle
The new German model, af-
ter a year of sales testing lin
tied to a permit for the New
York City area, offers a gim-
mick not available on other
United States makes. It's meter
may be detached and rolled
across a package, printing di-
rectly on the paper, instead
of feeding gummed tape to the
user.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-10-05

services mainly reflect our
higher standard of living. To-
days consumer wants a bar
gain still, but he wants quality
to go with it. The demand for
status has gained and will
continue to gain and therefore
the desire for nicer things,
even at higher prices, will con-
tinue to increase.
Services Costly
@. Porter: How will consum-
ers react to rising living costs?
A. ZelOmek: The new con-
sumner, in his desire for more
and more services, is response
BILE in large part for the rising
cost of living. Since the base
years of 1947-49 on the Gov
ernment's consumer price in
deX, prices of services have
risen SO per cent compared
with 18 per cent for prices of
commodities. Prices of services
which have jumped far more
than SO per cent are auto in
Surance, transit fares, obstet-
rical care, hospital rates, mems
haircuts. Short of staying at
home and doctoring them
selves, there is little consumers
can do to cut demand and so
to put a check on prices of
these services. In addition,
since these are the very serv-
ices which lend themselves
least to automation, rising la
Dor costs cannot be offset by
increased productivity.
@. Porter: Do you expect
consumers to add power to this
upturn?
A. Zelomek: The consumer
has not been frightened at any
time since World War II by
changes in the economy. and
this vital fact has moderated
our postwar business declines
While consumer buying today
is not as strong as many antici-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-10-05

pated, over a period of time,
public buying does reflect a
favorable turn in the economy
and there is no reason to ex-
pect 1861 and 1862 to be
exceptions.

YOURS
Gay Engagement Party Held
At the French Embassy
BY BETTY BEALE

The French Embassy was
the scene last evening Of the
most glamorouS engagement
party Washington can re-
member.
French Ambassador and
Nine. Alphand entertained in
honor Of her niece, Doriane
Merenda, and fiance, Olivier
Martin, at a 6 to 8 dancing
to-do that kept about 80 of
those invited still twirling
and having a whirl until mid
night or later.
THE FIRST BIG RECEP-
TION the Alphands have
given since the Embassy fire
last winter, it drew several
hundred guests from Speaker
Rayburn to young friends Of
the engaged pair.
Inc hoStS ana young hon.
orees stood in line to receive
in the hall beside the en-
trance to the paneled draw
ing room. And when that
room and the adjoining din
ing room were filled, they
moved into the empire draw
ing room. whence people pro-
ceeded into the tiled sun
room where the dancing was
taking place.
Nine. Alphand and her
niece presented a harmonious
picture Of Dior blends, you
might say. The beauteouS
blonder Nicole wore a sleeve
less two-piece coral dress with
the loosefitting, hiplength
blouse ending in a band Of
gold and coral bead en-
broidery. Her pretty brunette
niece wore a beige dress en-
broidered around the neck and
down the front with coral
and gold beads.
They greeted such New
