Michigan Car Maker Expected to Have
Big Advantages for Governorship

Republican political ac-
claim will be about equally
divided the second week in
February between Abraham
Lincoln and George Romney.
The dynamic champion of
compact cars has told friends
here that he will announce
his candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination for Gov
ernor of Michigan on or
about February 10, after a
business me e ting of his
American Motors Co.
This will enable the party
orators to mingle their plau-
dts for their first President
with a bow toward the pro-
gressive but practical can
didate they have attracted
in a big industrial State all
but vital to their prospects.
Mr.. Romney will need to sift
his press clippings carefully

istic approach to his new
career.

Giving Labor GO Sign on Wages

made to happen by the hourly
wage earners, who more
likely will have fought them
tooth and nail as threats to
job security. They depend
on the vision, skills and dar-
ing Of technicians and en-
trepreneurs, backed by the
willingness of investors to
gamble the needed capital.
What mobilizes these
forces is the hope Of cutting
unit labor costs, and thus
either increasing profits di-
rectly or making the product
more competitive by lower
ing its price. :.
TITS not the man who is
becoming more productive
but the machine on which he
works"
Yet the Presidents Council
Of Economic Advisers evi-
IDENTIFY thinks that to give to
labor virtually all the savings
Of the added productivity
need not be "inflationary"
nor "disruptive of overall
price stability" But is man
agement expected to receive
nothing additional in return
for the money it has invested
for labor saving equipment?
Evidently, it is to be dis
couraged from raising it's
prices to get an added in
come. Thus, the report
reaches this conclusion:
But when a disagreement
between management and la
bor is resolved by passing the
bill to the rest of the econ
omy, the bill is paid in de-
preciated currency to the ul-
innate advantage Of no one."
The net of it is that in
cases where labor gets in
wages more than the benefits
of the increased productivity
as it so often demands and
brings on a strike to achieve
it would appear to be all
right to increase prices. But
management, due to compet-
tive conditions, often finds
itself unable to raise prices.
So presumably it should not
pass on to the public the
added labor cost and must in
stead face a reduction in
profits and cut or omit divi-
dends. That's hardly the
way to run a successful busi-
ness. AS for unions, it's a
green light for increased
wage demands. 1t will hard
ly discourage big strikes and
especially the threatened
strike in the steel industry
this summer.

The general political climate

Even other Republican
candidates for President
must give Mr.. Romney q
hearty welcome, despite any
misgivings for the future.
Republicans today control
only 16 of so statehouses and
the party needs grass roots

it does members of Con-

Unless it can make pro-
gress in the courthouses its
candidate for President will

ROME.-The Italian in
come tax system is unique,
and this reporter must pro-
fess an admiration for it.
There are no declarations
made in duplicate and sworn
to for accuracy; there is no
need for pharmacists bills to
prove how many pills one has
swallowed in the fiscal year;
nor is there need to argue
with an internal revenue eX-
aminer who insists on de-
Quoting from your business
entertainment item your
share of the food consumed.
The ruling that the tax
payers share of the food on
his entertainment account is
not deductible has always
seemed unreasonable to me
since it would be ungracious
to offer your business guest
oysters and filet mignon in
a swank restaurant while you
munched a ham sandwich
pulled out Of your pocket.
There is no need to use
a logarithm table to figure
out how much gas your car
consumed and how much of it
was for business and how
much for pleasure.
There is no need to burn
the midnight oil figuring out
the governmentese of intri-
cate tax forms. In Italy it's
much simpler.
Italian income tax officials
apply what is called "Rule A."
This means that when you
declare your income, the in
ternal revenue boys take it
for granted that you are
cheating. And they assume
that you are declaring only
one-fourth of your actual
income. So if you declare
$1,000 they simply tell you
that you earned $4,000.
But there are exceptions.

The last thing the Ken
nedy administration would
really wish to do is to en-
courage initiation and a drop
in the purchasing power of
the dollar. The administra-
ton nevertheless is, in effect,
telling labor unions that they
can demand the benefits of
the savings made by machin-
cry, not only in their own
industry but in other indus
tries as well.
To note this surprising
trend takes a careful reading
Of the fine print" in the
report of the Presidents
Council of Economic Advis-
ers, to which Mr.. Kennedy
gave his blessing when he
commended it in a message
to Congress this week. Basic
ally, there is in it the mis-
taken belief that the economy
can be managed by an appli-
cation of doctrines and theo-
ries at variance with actual
experience. Discussing collec-
tive bargaining and the set
ting of prices, the report
says:
1.-The guideposts suggested
here as aids to public under
standing are not concerned
primarily with the relation Of
employers and employees to
each other, but rather with
their joint relation to the
rest Of the economy. -.
Productivity is a guide
rather than a rule for ap-
praising wage and price be-
havior for several reasons"
Unfortunately, the differ
ence between a guide" and
a "rule" vanishes when
dogmatic statements about
wage and price behavior are
given the implied, if not ex-
plicit, approval of the White
House. For, disregarding al
most Immediately their own
broad approach, the econo-
mic advisers go on to state
some rather definite prin-
ciples as follows:
"It is desirable that labor
and management should bar
gain explicitly about the dis
trfbution Of the income of
particular firms or industries.
It is, however, undesirable
that they should bargain i'm
plicitly about the general
price level.

ments which are paid for

and initiative effects
throughout the econ omy.
Such settlements may fail to
redistribute income within
the industry involved; rather.
they redistribute income be-
tween that industry and 9TH
er segments of the economy
through the mechanism of
initiation"
This appears to be a state
ment of what does happen
as a consequence Of labor
demands, but the Presidents
Council of Economic Advisers
on the very next page of
their report negate most of
what they have advised.
They introduce a contradic-
tory definition which the
labor unions will find stimu-
lating. 1t is right down their
alley, and reads as follows:
1.-The general guide for
noninflationary wage be-
havior is that the rate Of in
crease in wage rates-includ-
ing fringe benefits-in each
industry be equal to the trend
rate of overall productivity
increase. General accept
ance of this guide would
maintain stability Of labor
cost per unit of output for the
economy as a whole-though
not of course for individual
industries"
The New York Herald
Tribune, in an editorial, ex-
poses the economic fallacy Of
this general guide" as fol-
lows:
IF the average annual gain
in productivity per man
hour throughout the econ
omy were to be taken as 8
per cent, then a 3 per cent
annual hike in wages for each
industry would be in order.
For some industries this
would represent a rise greater
than productivity, for others
less, but on balance the av-
erage of unit labor costs
would remain constant. What
the council leaves out Of its
equations is the motive force
behind the advances in pro-
ductivity. These advances
don't just happen by them
selves. They have to be made

Domestically, the Commu-

of the American people.
Marxist theories do not ap-

not been a good salesman in
the United States, whatever
his success elsewhere. If he
is trying to catch up with us,
as he says he is, then even
a fellow who isn't very smart
would probably not be inter-
ested in something admittedly
not as successful as our own
system.
The people of this country

some of the organizations so
determined to teach them
their own ideas seem to think.
The American people do a
