If US didn't lose an eye from the

were in the rear row and pleaded
with US to give them a better
view. One siX-footer yelled, Hey,

people let me through" Another

Two Delaware Men
Aided Space Man

When the Mercury space-craft
orbited earth, two Delaware men
were among the communications
experts participating in the project.
The men: Leroy ]. Wolf Jr., of
126 Compass Drive, Wilmington,
telephone company staff specialist,
and Alfred S. Crisson, of 240 Della
ware Avenue, Harrington, tele-
phone company engineer.
Both men are currently on loan
to the Western Electric Company S
Project Mercury force.
Wolf is serving with Western
Electric in New York and his re-
sponsibilities included establishing 6
the Mercury training program and
m ST n operations procedures,
countdown procedures and the pol
icies used by the Mercury ground
tracking stations.
Crisson is presently assigned to
Western Electric as training
director at the Canary Island Site
Of Project Mercury.
These men are part of the COM
municatiOnS team recruited by the
Western Electric Company f + o m
Bell System companies to t a e
part in the space project.
The national Aeronautics n d
Space Administration has assigned
the Bell Systems manufacturing
and supply unit the responsibility
for building and testing a global
communications and tracking net
work by which scientific data col
lected by the orbiting craft can be
Immediately transmitted to the
processing center at Cape Canaver-
al.
Wolf, a native of Wilmington
served in the Army during World
War II and started with the Dia-
mOnd State Telephone Company as
a switchman in Wilmington in
1916. He became chief switchman
there Wilmington in 1855 and a
staff assistant with the Bell Com
pany of Pennsylvania in Philadel-
phia in 1858.
CrisSOn, native of Staten
Island, New York, served with the
Coast Guards during World War
II and started in the telephone
industry as a switchman in New
York in 1851 He became a switch
man in Georgetown, Delaware, in
1854, and an engineer in Philadel-
phia in 1857.
Communications experts with
the Western Electric Company are
part of the teams Of specialists
located at various world-w e
points that comprise the tracking
network
The network of IS stations was
turned over to the National Aero
nautics and Space Administration
by the Western Electric Company,

too far, President Kennedy or
''some man on horseback" will be-
come a dictator. These labor lead
ers at heart are conservatives.
What about the stock market!
Ahl this is something different.
For over so years | have studied
the stock market Hence, now |
will discuss what | know some
thing about, | am statistlclan,
not a politician. Let me start by
saying that over 1000, 100000 (sev-
en- billion) shares of common
stock are listed on the New York
Stock Exchange and less than one
billion more on the American EX-
change. Ninety per cent OF the
latter are of small speculative
companies which we will not now
count None of the latter affect
Dow-Jones Industrial Average.
AnaIyzing this seven billion figure
Of these 7 billion shares about
100000 are traded 5 days a week,
or say 260 days each year (3,a0O,-
600 260) or about one billion
shares in a year.
When we consider that for every
seller there must be a buyer, and
that the specialists cannot allow
the sales to be quoted at too much
of a spread this is another DraKe
on the sales. This is of itself a
curb on a panic crash and is now
being carefully watched by the
SEC. Furthermore, if we take these
billion shares, less the deduc-
tions, and adjust same to the
stock splits, stock dividends, num-
Der of population, assessment OF
real property, gross national pro-
duct, and value of the dollar, these
figures would be severely chang
ed. The final result, however,
would show that the percentages
would not be materially changed.

Babson Park, Mass, March 1.
The United States will probably
suffer from another business de-
preston. But it will not be like
that of the "Thirties". The Presi-
dent and Congress are willing to
risk breaking the nations credit
rather than risk a year OF serious
unemployment.
Prosperity not permanent
We will see a rash of failures; :;
but the smart boys" in Washing
ton may not let them be called
failures" They will be listed as
consultations" or mergers" or
'going out of business. We will
not see the unemployed selling
apples on the street; but we may
see apples given away to all who
call for them. 1t will be known as
the great "give-away era. The s.
hour day may temporarily be cut
to a 2-hour day.
The legislation that President
Kennedy now wants to help the
aged and the i'll will then quickly
be enacted. The government will
subsidize small business as it now
does the farmers. We will be ap-
preaching socialism; but under
some new name. The unemployed
will be sent to schools and colleges
which will be given federal aid
generously and in abundance. Ac-
cording to Senator Goldwater and
the John Birch "rightists" this
will finally lead to further react
ion and trouble. The Armed Forces
recognize this and would like to
join this "rightist' movement; but
they are being muzzled. The labor
unions, however, are behind the
movement Their leaders realize

Power of compound interest

Now to my conclusion: The per-
Icentage of deductions indicates the
possible percentage of cushions or
Icurbs to any eventual crash, in
'cluding legislation as to margins.
The percentage of these cushions
lis increasing more rapidly than
the total shares. This is due to a
greater public interest in in
vestments and a greater percent
age of money coming into the
treasures of mutual funds, inSur-
.ance companies, labor unions, and
savings accounts. Also important is
the increased increment of COM
pound interest, which applies
mainly to the deductions. All the
above means that although we will
continue to have bear and bu1l''
trends (due to NewtOn's Law of
Action and Reaction )-barring
World War III, no reader of this
column will see another S o C k
market crash like 1929.
cannot overemphasize tn Q
great Importance of cumulative
compound interest At 6 per cent
money doubles in Il years. Most of
the deductible funds mentioned
above will yield about per cent.
This means that they are constant
ly increasing while the billion
listed common shares are not in
creasing in comparison Herewith,
probably around 2 per cent This
means that the Dow Jones 80 In
dustrials are no fair barometer of
what the 7 billion shares are do
ing. Certainly an expert invest
ment adviser should always be able
to select some growing compan-
ies'' from the z billion shares now
listed on the New York Stock Ex-
change.
