they inevitably must, when
wage costs are substantially
increased. Also. the President
says fatty there win be no
cut In the level Of Federal
spending.
The President implied,
moreover, that profits today
are near an all-time high.
But he neglected to tell his
audience that, IN the last IL
years. corporate profits have
never reached their 1850
peak. Similarly. corporations
have been getting In the past
couple Of years o little over
3 cents profit out Of their
sales dollar, as compared
with So cents in 1850. So
what's the good Of citing
statistics about recent in
creases in the national out
put II such increases are
brought about by deficit
spending by the Government
itself, and not by reason Of
the progress Of the private
enterprise system2
The key to the whole eco
nomic situation Is the break
down in the profit picture.
For although the national
output was increased by $3.50
billion during the last seven
years, the profits Of Amer
lean business have stood still
during that period. This
means that the Government
has not played q sufficiently
constructive part In stimulat-
ing the economy or in re-
moving the artificial barriers
that impede the growth Of
the profit system. The Demo-
cratic Party, which has con-
trolled Congress the last
seven years, has the major
responsibility for the failure
to legiSlate on the labor
monopoly.
Mr.. KerNnedy's address
would have been reassuring II
he had covered all the bases,
and II he had dealt with the
labor problem. But being 0
politician and dependent on
labor-union votes and cam
paign contributions, he prob
ably feels he cannot afford
to antagonize his political al
lies. Yet economic recovery
Of any durable kind Is doubt
full nowadays because Mr..
Kennedy does not venture to
speak for all the people or tell
them the full story Of the
economic dangers that really
confront them today.

Address Likened to Reelection Speech
And Called Only Part Of the Story

Every consumer and busi-
nessman In America listen
ing to me tonight knows he
can safely spend and invest

dence in the long-range fu-
ture Of the United States Of
America"
The President says the
economy was sick In January
Of last year mot only be-
cause Of the 1901 recess
sion, but also because Of the
recession Of 1855"
But the President didn't
ten his listeners the funda-
mental cause Of both recess
sions. The threat Of strikes
and the actual work STOP
pages caused inventories to
be accumulated abnormally
in advance and then brought
about unemployment when
the demand was filled. Like
wise, durable-goods indus
tries, faced with higher wage
costs, became stagnant. Mr..
Kennedy cracked down on
steel IN April. 1o02, when It
tried to raise its prices to
offset wage costs accumu-
lated In the previous three
years. but he has never done
anything to curb the power
OF the labor unions which
force wage costs upward and
bring about strikes that dis
rupt the economy.
Mr.. Kennedy denounces
those who would oppose his
"give-away" programs and
what he calls human welfare
legislation. and says that we
should not 'let the pressures
from any special group or
area stand In the way Of full
filling our promises in the
1905" But thu biggest
pressure group Of all goes
on welding its monopolistic
power Just the same.
The die Is cast, therefore,
for more and more public
spending, which means larg-
er and larger deficits for
the Treasury. The President
seems to think an improve

President Kennedy said
over television and radio on
Monday night that he was
speaking 90 the only Amert-
can official, along with the
Vice President. elected ''by
all Of the people in all Of
the so States" But, unfor-
tt1nately. he spoke as Q poll
tician seeking reelection,
and he did not tell the peo-
pie the whole story Of the
economic plight that con-
fronts them.
Mr.. Kennedy said not q
word about the cause Of the
last two recessions and not
q word about the news de-
velopment that happened the
same day he spoke which
can bring on the next recess
sion-an arbitrary rise in
wage costs which could ma
terially reduce, II not wipe
out, most corporate profits.
For there appeared on the
'front.' pages Of many news
papers-on the same morn
ing the Presidents speech
was printed-the most I'M
portant piece Of news that
has struck the business
world since the 1859 strike
In steel. It was announced
by the executive council Of
the AFL-CTO-which COM
prises some II million mem
bers-that 1t had by formal
resolution decided to demand
a S5-hour work week and win
insist on the same take-home
pay as Is being received for

any overtime beyond IS hours
would have to be paid for,
not Just on the basis Of one

badly mangled right leg said
yesterday he was attacked by a
shark while fishing in the Gulf
of Mexico.

near Port Isabel, Tex. He was
conscious when rescuers pulled
him from the water but he died

with his wife and five children
on Padre Island, a thin strip Of
land that extends along most
of the Texas Gulf Coast.
Bob Lauer of Harlingen. Tex,
was swimming near Mr.. Fix
and heard him scream.
Mr.. Lauer pulled him from
the water, placed a tourniquet
on the leg and held it while Mr..
Fix was taken by ambulance
to the Port Isabel office of DR..
j. A. Hockaday for emergency
treatment.
DR.. Hockaday said Mr.. Fix

The physician said Mr.. Fix
was bitten at least three times
on the leg and death was due
to loss of blood.

The magazine U. S. News &

T. Seaborg of the Atomic En-

believes the United States still
leads Russia in atomic weap-

tests of 1861 and 1862.
In a copyrighted interview
with the weekly news magazine
Mr.. Seaborg also said he does
not believe Nikita Khrushchev's
claim that Russia has an anti
missile missile so accurate ii
can hit "a fly in the sky"
Il just can't see how he could
have a missile with the capa-
bility he contends he has," Mr.
Seaborg said.
He continued:
THE concept of who is ahead
is a very imprecise one. 1t has
to do with so many factors
the sophistication of weapons
both tactical and strategic; the
numbers of weapons, both tao
teal and strategic; the deliv-

passengers in Pelzer's vehicle
were not injured.
"Wantonly Negligent"
In sentencing Pelzer, Judge
Hart said that it was difficult
for this court to conceive of a
more wanton. negligent dis
regard of human life" The
Judge said it would have been
less wantonly negligent, if
Pelzer had shot a revolver
wildly up and down the street"
IF this kind of driving is not
stopped, nobody will be safe on
the streets of the city of Wash
ington, from the smallest child
to the President of the United
States" Judge Hart said.
He said that in his opinion
the grand jury would have
been perfectly justified" in in
dieting Pelzer for second degree
murder rather than the man
slaughter charge to which he
pleaded guilty.
