Another Chic First Lady
By AMELIA YOUNG
star stan Writer

The young and oomely
First Lady, once an excep-
ton, is fast becoming the
international rule. Or 70 it
would seem from the pro-
cession Of women who come
with their husbands as stats
visitors.
The last example was
Empress Farah Of Iran. The
next will be Marie Therese
Houphouet-Boigny. wife Of
the President Of the Ivory
Coast.
When she and her husband
arrive In Washington next
Tuesday for o three = day
visit, the public win get q
look at . pretty young Afrt-
can woman with much the
same sense Of chic as our
own First Lady'S.
Mrs. Houphouet-Boigny Is
81 years old. 26 years her
husbands Junior. She's five
feet, six inches tall, nicely
proportioned and loves de-
Signer clothes.
A resident Of France for
more than 10 years, she buys
from Partisan houses, among
them Dior and Balmain. but
favors none In particular.
Yesterday In New York the
African visitor attended q
reception at Bonnie CaShin's
Salon. perhaps with an eye
to shopping.
Domestic Pursuits
Mrs. Houphouet Boigny
loves roses and orchids, cit
ronella-base perfumes and
such pursuits as sewing and
embroidery. She once spent
two years Of spare hours
making q petit point carpet.
She likes informal and
sport clothes-but not sports
and her favorite colors are
pink, yellow and blue.
Born in Grand Bassam,
Ivory Coast, the fourth Of
seven children, she attended
secondary schools In her
native country. then went to
the south Of France to study
at Villeneuv sur Lot. Her
father is a chief customs in
spector.
A member Of the Baoule
tribe. she speaks that Ian
guage and French but no
English, so interpreters will
be travelling with her
throughout the tour.
Like many other PreSi-
dents wives, Mrs. Houph-
ouet- Boigny takes an active
part in the welfare work Of
her country, serving as pres
ident Of the Red Cross there
and assistant director Of q
program for underprivileged
children. She and her hus-
band have an a adopted
daughter, Helene, aged 6.
The Ivory Coast President
and his wife have little time
for pure leisure, with their
many official and social
duties, but according to an
embassy staff member here,

KENNEDY'S BIG PROBLEM

Perhaps the least reliable guide to judg-
ment of the quality of State OF the Union
message is the flow of congressional COM
ment Immediately following delivery of the
message. With rare exceptions, such COM
ment polarizes along partisan lines.
Plain citizens can discount such extreme
ly divergent views and concentrate, instead,
on two questions How we'll did the Presi-
dent describe the present state of the ma
tions domestic and foreign affairs? How
effectively does his legislative program
promise to deal with the nations problems
both here and abroad?
There is inevitably some partisan color
alton in how one answers those questions
Yet when one tries to be objective it be-
comes apparent that much of the Kennedy
program cuts across party lines. This is
notably true of the matter on which he foe
used most attentiOn-the problems of for
mulating liberalized trade policy to enable
cooperation with the Common Market of
Europe. The Importance of this, Of which
the President said that the decision 'could
we'll affect the unity of the West, the course
of the cold war and the economic growth of
our nation for a generation or more to
come" is apparent to thoughtful men re
gardless of party affiliation.
There is little question but that Mr.. Ken
neuy ). SullIlldtlon Vi y. .. eaIl al was e'Cio
and we'll organized. He directed a bright
light to areas that need attention. In few
cases-federal aid to education, medical
care for the aged, and some other proposals
his recommendations are sharply contro-
versial In most cases, however, the big
question in Congress will be not whether
this or that should be done, but whether
the nation can afford it. The President has
placed an enormous legislative blueprint on
the desk of Congress. Now it is up to the
legislators to determine how much of the
blueprint, in the light of cost and priority
considerations, shall be retained.

A BOOM IN PEOPLE

A lot Of Americans think the population
boom is mainly problem for "the rest OF
the world" to worry about. This comfort
ing though somewhat isolatiOnist view has
no basis in fact. The United States is al
ready caught up in the population crisis.
The crisis is certain to become much worse.
That is a mild way of putting it. DR..
Philip M. HauSer, chairman of the SOclOlO-
gy Department of the University of Chi
cago, states the matter more strongly. In
a recent magazine article he declared that
the population crisis threatens our tradi-
tional way of life" He said it promises to
become a national catastrophe and is al
ready costing us heavily in money, terrible
social problems and lost liberty"
These are not alarmist congratulations.
The impact of the population rise-some
three million during the past calendar year,
for examples enormous. 1t puts a heavy
strain on all kinds of services, everything
from transportation to schooling. 1t raises
the question whether our economy can eX-
pand fast enough to absorb all the new
workers who will be clamoring for jobs.
Lower and lower death rates, coupled
with a birth rate that continues to be fairly
high, make the population boom. The Pop
ulation Reference Bureau has shown what
can happen in extreme cases. 1t cites the
instance Of John Eli Miller, an Amish far
mer who left 40 living descendants when
he died recently at 95. Family growth is
at such rate, it is estimated, that had he
lived another decade he would have seen
more descendants born than in all his prior
years.
This is an extraordinary case. 1t does
illustrate what can happen when high birth
rates and low mortality rates get together.
1t points up the inescapable truth that the
United States too, is in the midst of a boom
in people.

ERA OF PRIVATE BANKING, TRUSTS,
AND INSURANCE COMPANIES
The big men of Wall Street
were originally such men as Dan
iel Drew, Jim Fisk, and Jay
Gould, who played with the stocks
of the leading railroads of that
day. There was then no Inter
state Commerce Commission, or
State Railroad Commission, or Sc
curities and Exchange Commits
sion. 1t was free for all' until
Mr. j. p. Morgan came into the
picture and brought order out of
chaos. Mr. Morgan was very
wonderful man. After he had ac-
cumulated money for himself, he
assumed control of the investment
situation in general. Those who
followed his order and general
ship usually prospered; those who
did not often fell into bankruptcy
The second era was that of
trusts, organized by certain fam
Gus lawyers under the laws of
Delaware. These were the begin
nings of what are now known as
holding companies" but they
were unsupervised. Among the
most prominent were Havemeyer
(sugar), Hartman (railroads) +,
Rockefeller (oils), and Duke (to-

life insurance companies which
had money rolling in every month

AN. ECONOMIC QUESTION

The new Congress will face numerous
controversies, not least among them the lib
eralizing Of our foreign trade policies. 1t is
too bad that our perennial rift, liberalism
vs. conservatism, threatens to enter into
deliberations on this issue.
The prosperity of us all, Republican or
Democrat, pacifist or belligerent right wing
or left wing, can depend for generations to
come on what aHgnments may be made rel
ative to international trade. The accelerat-
ing implementation of the Common Market
idea in Europe poses a challenge to us as
to the entire free world.
In times past, such challenge would
have been no more likely to involve such
questions as patriotism, or charges of COM
munistic or fascist leanings, than would an
old-fashioned horse-trade between a couple
SprOuting theological cOmpleXeS. Bringing
up the question of alignment with the Com
mon Market, or even of extending the re-
ciprOcal trade treaties, often seems to be
enough to launch extremist charges and
counter-charges.
The issue divides even the far-rightists.
For example James Burnham of the ultra
conservative National Review upbrads the
conservative Senator Barry Goldwater for
opposing our cooperation with the Euro
pean economic organization. Deploring the
ArlZOIld SENATOR S pfOCecIlOIlSI-lSO1dClOll
list reflex" Burnham recommends that Gold
water study the Clayton-Herter report
(Which proposes the closest cooperation with
the Comman Market and praises that re-
ports realism and firmness."
The point we make is that, ideally, dis
cussion Of foreign trade policy should hew
as closely as possible to the line of economic
considerations. If the discussion is be-
clouded with too much theological blather,
this may obscure the fact that the nations
economic future is the essential matter be-
ing discussed.

Less Heavy Damage
Accidents Last Month

There were SO less accidents in
volving damages in excess of $100,
on the streets and highways Of
this state during December than
there were in the same month of
the previous year.
Records of the Financial Re-
sponsibility Division of the Motor
Vehicle Department reveal that a
total of S54 of these accidents
were reported to them during De-
cember as compared with 937 for
December of 1860
Records indicate that at least
portion of the reduction may be
assigned to the absence of storms,
that interferred with traffic; par
ticularly in the lower part of the
state, during December, while in
the same month of 1860 there were
several periods when storms ef-
fected traffic.
OF the accidents reported dur
ing December, 6SS were in Will
mington and New Castle County,
d reduction of 8 over the record
for December of 1860. Kent Coun-
" had S3, a reduction of 54 while
Sussex County had So, decrease
of 26
OF the operators involved in the
accidents reported during Decem-
Der, 232 were from out of state
and 1876 had no insurance. There
were a total, of 2S1 persons injur-
ed in these accidents.
Damages reported in connection
with the accidents that were re-
ported during December totaled
1921, ,00600, which was slightly
less than the damages reported
during December of 1860.
During December total of 110
motorists had their operational
and registration privileges sus-
pended in Delaware for failure to
comply with the Financial Re-
sponsibility laws.

BABSON PARK, Mass, January
26-One of the big land develop
ments near Lake Wales, Florida,
is the Indian Lake Estates, which
was started by Leon Ackerman. 1t
included 1000 acres with hard
roads, $500 residential lots, and
a beautiful waterfront.
HISTORY OF INDIAN LAKE ESTATES
The original promoter "bit off
NOR ethan he could chew" and
either sold out to or went into
partnership with an Alaskan Com
pany which was to furnish the
money to complete the sewerage,
golf links, club house, etc. Storms
and high water discouraged this
new group. They turned to the
Teamsters Union for money, by
giving the union the blanket
mortgage, subject in part to other
mortgages, on all the property
that was not owned free and clear
by those who had already built
homes or bought lots. This prob
ably means that Indian Lake Es-
tates will become the property of
the TeamsterS Union.
1t is said that Mr.. Hoffa has
bought several hotels and other
property in Key West and else
where in Florida, as we'll as stocks
and bonds, which he can sell at
any time. Mr.. Hoffa, however, has
another string to his bow: If he
doesn't sell the Florida property,
he can use it for union members
who have reached retirement age.
Thus, Florida, is going through a
real estate cycle. First, it was
the home of native persons, many
of whom acquired. and own, prop
erty; then, middle-class people,
especially from the Central West,
began to retire in Florida; then

During the month of February,
Americans traditionally observe the
