Focus On
Africa
BY EDDIE L. MADISON, JR.

THE FIRES from the politi-
cal dispute in Western Nigeria
seemed to light anew when it
was learned that the Federal
Supreme Court declared that
suspended Governor Sir AIDES
oil Aderemi was wrong in dis
missing Chief Tamuel L. Al1intola
as premier in the region. The ac-
ton was called illegal and uncon-
stitutional. J. v. Clinton, AMP
correspondent in Nigeria, quoted
the Chief Justice, Sir Adetokunboh
Ademola, who said: a.. The Con-
stitution empowers the Governor
to use his own deliberate judge
ment in appointing a Premier, it
does not state that the Governor
can use his deliberate judgement
in removing the Premier"
CHEF AKINTOLA was dis
missed by Sir Adesoji during a
political crisis and an Action
Group party dispute which STEM
med from a rivalry between Akin
tola and Chief Obafemi Awolowo,
leader of the party, which ruled
the Western Region and formed
the Federal Opposition. Both Akin
tola and Awolowo are under Fed
eral Government emergency re-
striction orders.
All members Of the Western
Region government were suspend
ed. In view Of the Supreme Courts
ruling, the future Of the Western
Region regime, under suspension
prior to the tribunals action, re-
manned in question. The court dis
missed an action filed by Alhaji
Dauda Adegenbenro, the former
successor to Alxintola, challenging
the emergency powers and the re-
striction Of his own movement
Sir Adesoji said he was appealing
to London's Privy Council against
the decision of the Federal Su-
preme Court.

THE WOMEN of South er n
Rhodesia are clamoring for "One
man, one wife" Polygamy, once
the accepted custom throughout
the country, is now under increas-
ing pressure from a fast-growing
body Of educated women. There !
are estimated to be 21,520 poly
gamous marriages in Southern
Rhodesia in an indigenous popula-
ton of 2,475,779, according to Of
ficials of the Native Affairs De-
partment. The ratio Of marriages
in the population averages IL
wives per man. But the women
don't seem to want the practice to
continue.
New cultures, Christianity and
the impact of industrialization are
forging new social structures to
replace tribal laws and customs.
In what the males might call the
good old days, tribal wars kept
down the proportion Of men. Poly
gamy insured that all women are
provided with a mate. Each wife
was allocated her own hut in the
village, and there was a definite
division Of labor. The men cleared
the bush for cultivation while the
women worked the land and har-
vested the crops.
Money economy was unknown,
and only enough food for subsist-
ence was produced. Women were
forced into the background and
dared not speak unless they had
obtained permission. While some
Of the customs remain, the old
order is fading.

Perspective on u. S. Steel Profits

amount Of money, Just like a
bonanza. They would have
also, under the depreciation
schedule accelerating
schedule F-gotten an addi-
tional $40 million. They would
have had $45 million extra
amount of money"
But what Mr.. Hodges for
got to point out to the re-
porters is that the 8 percent
tax credit has not yet been
passed by Congress and even
so, would apply only to new
equipment-and not to other
kinds of capital expenditures.
If, therefore, it we're applied
on an expenditure Of an esti-
mated $500 million for brand
new equipment-a figure be-
lieved to be far too blythe
U. S. Steel Corp. would get
a credit of only SIG million.
This doesn't go very far to-
ward taking care of the $265
million being spent.
Likewise, the so-called
Schedule F on depreciation
allowances is so complex that
most big companies, consid-
ering all the limitations,
don't see where they are 60
ing to get any real improve
ment over existing sched-
ules. For, as these are at
present administered, a mis-
take in forecasting the
length of life Of a piece Of
equipment for depreciation
purposes can result in a re-
opening of income tax sched-
ules for previous years.
The administration is try
ing desperately to justify its
course in interfering with
the normal operation of
American business-which is
to get a price that covers
costs and allows a reason
able profit. Today business
men generally are perplexed
because they do not see any
economic sense to the for
mulas and proposals that are
supposedly designed to stim-
ulate industry. Instead, near
ly every one of the steel
companies, for example, is
cutting costs severely and
planning to lay off more
workers. That's not a healthy
situation because, as the
Secretary Of Commerce says,
steel is a kind of "bellwether"
of the national economy.

Figure Held Too Small to Modernize
Plants After Meeting Dividends, Debt
DAVID LAWRENCE

It's easy enough to be-
wilder the public with large
figures about a company's
profits, though in themselves
they may be a sign of weak
ness instead of strength.
Thus the country was told
during the last "a hours, in
five-minute news summaries
on the radio or in newspaper
headlines, that the u. S.
Steel Corp. had earned $3.50
million in the first quarter
of this year. This sounds like
a lot of money and promptly
raises questions as to why a
company which can make
that large a sum in only the
first quarter of a year should
be asking for price increases
on its products.
But precisely because of
this superficiality or brevity
of treatment, the American
people aren't seeing the
problem in perspective. For
the $55.8 million has to be
divided into SO million parts,
as that is the number of
shares held by the 325, 900
owners of the U. S. Steel
Corp. Receiving rs cents a
share each quarter, or So for
the whole year, means the
holder of common stock is
earning less than 3 per cent
on each dollar invested in
1859 when the stock sold for
more than $100 a share. But
nowadays an investor can
buy bonds or keep his money
in a savings bank and earn
more than 3 per cent.
So, unless investors see
some hope Of larger profits
and dividends in the future,
the free-enterprise system as
a whole will face dark days,
and state socialism will be
brought nearer.
For there's a serious lesson
to be learned from the U. S.
Steel figures announced on
Tuesday. In the first place,
out of the $3.50 million
earned for the initial quar-
ter of the year, $46.9 million
4 was used to pay dividends on
stock outstanding. Only $7.9
million was left for debt re-
tirement and about 81 million
for other purposes. But U. S.

promised that fallout would
be held to a minimum.
1t is now reported that a
Federal plan is ready by
which fallout will be moni-
tored and samplingS taken Of
food. water and air in diff
ferent parts of the country.
Presumably, it would be pos
Sible to police water and food
supplies and even certain
land and sea areas.
The official version is that
nothing so drastic is in pros
pect. But such preventive
medicine for public emotion
Is characteristic Of the Ken
nedy administration.
A certain amount of public
outcry is anticipated, prob
ably along the lines of
that following the Presidents
March 2 statement. His SEN
Sitive and kindly reaction to
it perhaps helped to hold it
down; certainly it has not
appeared to take hold strong
ly in the country, and there
is no evidence, either, that
any attempt has been made
to hamper its expression.
Politically. the tests offer
the President no problem,

Steel actually had spent
about $40 million of borrowed
money for new plant and
equipment in the same first
quarter Of the year. Hence
the outgo was far in excess
of the income.
AS a matter Of fact, the
company three years ago en-
barked on a program of mod
erniZation of plant and equip
ment costing S1.2 billion. It
has about $265 million still
to be spent for this purpose
this year. 1t borrowed more
than $500 million for the
whole program and took the
rest out of reserves.
This money, on the other
hand, has to be paid back
sooner or later. If a COM
pany can earn only enough
money to pay its current
dividend and provide for
debt retirement on what it
has already borrowed, it can
not very long keep up its
renovation of plant facilities.
The need for modernization is
constant. That's why the
price must be high enough
to earn income which will
pay back money spent and
still give the investor an en-
couraging dividend.
Big figures are being ban
died about also by public
officials. who perhaps unwit-
tingly give a misleading i'm
preston. Luther Hodges, the
Secretary of Commerce, for
instance, discussed the steel
situation at a news confer
ence on Tuesday and made
some statements to the re-
porters which further con-
fuse the problem. The tran
script made public by his
office quotes Mr.. Hodges as
having said:
THE administration had
in the works and still has in
the works two phases of
taxation bills which would
have relieved part of the
situation raised by U. S. Steel

objections assigned for not

these:
The speech presents
an unbalanced picture Of the

Kennedy Tries to Minimize FoIIout
And Reossure u. S. and World Critics

President Kennedy has
been under heavy pressure to
resume nuclear testing ever
since he was elected. His
own determination to explore
first every avenue toward dis
armament was equal to the
pressure during his first year,
though he was told then, as
now. that congressional opin-
ion favored resumption.
But even before the Rus
slams announced their latest
series Of tests, the weight Of
the evidence was that there
was risk attached to a longer
delay in American trial of its
nuclear arsenal. New and
improved weapons were pro-
duced with warheads which
worked perfectly in the test
pits.
For the first time now they
will be tested as an opera
tional part Of a missile. 1t
is a long step forward, viewed
strictly as a defense matter.

This may account for
many Western nations flirt-
ing with the idea of inaugu-
rating peaceful coexistence"

America intends to place the
security of the world in dis

a United Nations force, they
would rather come to terms
with the Russians before it

leaders there is a firm belief

tinge of pacifism, rarely
does we'll in American poll
tics; the danger up to now
has been all the other way.
The fact Of the tests does
add to the Presidents diplo-
matte burden with the State
Department and, Of course,
puts U. N. Ambassador Adlai
Stevenson directly on the
firing line. The official at
titude toward 1t is expressed
in the Greek lines that hav-
ing done what men could,
they will suffer what men
must.
One result that is expected
quickly is renewal Of pressure
from United States allies
and Russia for another sum-
init. With the present series
of tests behind him and his
popularity at home remark
ably high, the President
would seem to be in a strong
position to undertake it. If
he believes reports Of Soviet
Chinese tensions, that might
be another inducement.
To Washington, the new
tests are an extremely sober
fact Of life. One unhappy as
pect is that they tend to
dampen still further the al
ready tepid enthusiasm in
Congress for the domestic re-
forms of the Kennedy pro-
gram.
