"How's business" Time
was when businessmen asked
this question Of one another,
and the net impression they
got-either favorable or I'M
acknowledgement plausible
and made sense to them. But
today the national economy
is more complex than ever,
and the statements issued
from Washington are full of
wishful thinking and political
implications. So it's diff
cult to sift the data and come
up with q clear answer to
what's really happened-let
alone what's going to happen
in business, even within q
year.
A couple Of months ago,
for instance, the Kennedy
administration was issuing
some glowing forecasts about
the national output for 1862
and about the upward trend
Of the economy. But now it
seems these same forecasts
were too optimistic. Thus.
one reads a dispatch by Uni
ted Press International a few
days ago which says:
Commerce Secretary
Hodges said today that the
recent failure Of the economy
to live up to the Kennedy
Administrations forecast pro-
baby would extend through
June. His statement at a
news conference was the first
public acknowledgment by a
high official that the ad-
ministration's forecast that
the economy would rise to
between $685. billion and $50
billion by midyear was too
rosy
Commerce Department
experts have made a prelim-
mary estimate that gross Ma
tional product rose modestly
in January, February and
March to a new high annual
rate of $548 billion"
But how can one get an
understanding of what goes
on by focusing on such big
figures alone? Obviously, as
population grows and there
is an increased demand for
things, the total volume Of
transactions goes up. What
really matters is the profits
earned on all these transac-
tions and the number Of per-
sons employed or unemployed

Kennedy Seeking Aid of News Media
In Ending Areas of Ignorance in u. S.

One Of the many hats the
President wears is that Of an
educator in public affairs.
President Kennedy, who
makes intelligent use of polls,
learned Of the need for edu-
cation in that field in his
preferential primary cam
paigns and that for the Pres
idency, itself. The established
poll takers, Roper and Gal
lup, speak of "the areas Of
ignorance" in American life.
I'VE show in our polls, for
example" said Mr.. Roper, in
a recent interview at the
Center for the Study Of DEM
ocratic Institutions, that 10
per cent of the American
people do not know the
length of the term Of United
States Senator's; that Sc per
cent cannot name either Of
the. two Senators from their
home States; that they have
MT the vaguest notion what a
tariff is; that Americans are
all in favor Of selling Ameri-
can goods abroad, but not for
buying European goods. So
we do expose the areas Of
ignorance in American life.
And once you know where
they are, you can do a better
Job of educating them"
President Kennedy has the
Job of communicating with
the people on American par
ticipation in Europe's Com
mon Market. It is a very
complex economic subject. 1t
Is necessary that we have as
ISOLATION with it. Certain
products will be hurt. That
they, and others, would suf-
fer even more if we do not
tie ourselves into the Euro
pean market, will not dimin-
ish the organized protest Of
those who suffer losses.

news conference takes shape.
All this is very different
from the recent past. Presi-
dent Eisenhower began with
eight millionaires and q
plumber and the plumber
soon quit in disgust. His sue
cessor. the able James P.
Mitchell, was always ham,
pered by his businesS-minded
cabinet colleagues and only
Mr.. Eisenhower's personal
liking for him enabled him
to make the creditable rec
ord he did.
President Truman gave la
Dor its way on the Secretary
but failed to establish close
relations with the labor
movement as a whole until
his second term. Nor could
he do it much good with
Congress. President Roose-
welt was his own negotiator
with many labor leaders and
personally admired and helped
his woman Labor Secretary,
Frances Perkins. But she had
the thinneSt time of them all
with Congress and was often
made Scapegoat in matters
where they dared not cross

many reporters viewed the

lucky so far in that field but

AFL-CIO President George
Meany will entertain for the

dent johnson will address

was one of the early grum-
blers against the choice of
Mr.. Goldberg, preferring
some one deeper in labor's
councils.
Mr.. Goldberg now con-
fronts the assembled labor
press as the driving force
behind the first peaceable
steel settlement since 1854. 1t
has been widely praised be-
cause Of its moderate, nom
inflationary terms; even
Congress seems happy with
it.
1t continues to be ad-
ministration policy that the
Federal Government should
keep strikes from happening

industries. It is possible

Secretary, 'Plowing While Sun Shines
Plays Host to Newsmen This Week End

The Cinderella of the cab
met during recent admins
trations has been the Secre-
tary Of Labor. In the Ken
nedy regime, he is beginning
to look like the flower of the
flock.
The omens were not all
that favorable when Prince
Charming Kennedy first fit
ted the glass slipper on the
foot Of labor lawyer Arthur
Goldberg.
Business groaned because
Mr.. Goldberg had been the
principal architect of higher
wage steel settlements which
had to be forced upon the in
dustry by the Eisenhower ad-
miniStration. Labor leaders
grumbled that he was not
really one Of them, but their
employe. $685..
All this is being showed
into the background this
sunny week end when the
Secretary will be host at a
conference for about 200 labor
editors and reporters. 1t is in
the pattern of the Presidents

editors and publishers and
Of State Department seminars

similar groups.

as well as the total personal
income available with which
to buy things. Four per cent
unemployed means q lot Of
people, even though it looks
like a small percentage. Also,
fairly large "areas Of sub
stantial and persistent un-
employment" as they are Of
ficially labeled by the Gov
eminent, number today more
than 100 throughout the
country.
The Government reported,
too, a few days ago that liv-
ing costs had risen to q new
high in February. and hence
the record Of six months Of
price stability was impaired.
This means that the pur-
chasing power Of the dollar
is again unStea0y.
Meanwhile, the United
States Department Of Labor
revealed this week that man
ufacturing industries in
creased their work rolls only
slightly in February and
showed a disappointing trend
downward as compared with
January. 1t said the number
Of hirings declined some
what more than seasonally."
Now eve ~ body who
follows the economic picture
closely knows that there has
been a slump on the durable
goods side. The Kennedy
administration has come I'D
with proposals to help
encourage plant investment
temporarily, but these are
not Of the long-range kind
and do not permit the sort
Of planning that would really
expand the economy.
When the volume Of BUSH
ness, moreover, is merely in
creased in quantity without
increasing total profits, the
tax revenues which the
United States Treasury ex-
poets to receive are bound to
be disappointing. Already the

Kennedy as likely to be bal

Of bitter fighting and devas-

are being made on the as
sumption that the Algerian
government, after it Is for
mally established, will adopt
a policy of cooperation with
the free world. The shrewd
Algerian leaders are aware
that the Russians and Chi

their own. Hence. 1t is reli-
ably reported, the Algerian

will fully cooperate with the
former mother country.
The Germans also consider
the attitude Of an under
privileged country in the cold
war before extending credits.
However, some economic as
sistance Is being given to
Egypt, for instance, because
Bonn believes that Nasser
will ultimately break ties with
the Communist bloc and join
a North African non-Com-
munist bloc. 1t is following
the same policies with Iraq.
In all cases, the benefici-
aries Of German or French

that they repay the sums ad-
vanced and will start making

they can export.

gime. The French government
recalled its ambassador in
1860 when Belgrade recog-
nized and extended impor-
tant economic and military
assistance to the FIN rebels
in Algeria.
1t is obvious that Marshal
Tito has miscalculated the
political philosophy Of Free
Europe. He believed that he
could continue his political
antics at will and yet, when
he was in serious straits, he
could appeal to the govern
ments he had offended with
the plea that II am at drawn

His break with Stain, and

This argument does not

handled the situation real

I couldn't call my sister in New York
because she was a school teacher
and working. I couldn't reach my
brother in st. Louis or my other
brother in Brooklyn. My sister in
Long Island was younger, so she
wouldn't know if I'd had chicken
pox. -.
II called back my mothers hotel,
and they said she had gone to the
hospital. The hospital? called the
hospital and was connected with
Mrs. Rebecca Levin. Right away I
asked her If I'd had the chicken pox.
You sound to me like a lunatic.
was the answer. 1t was another Mrs.
Rebecca Levin. -.
by now it's 1870 and ABC is
screaming They think I am holding
them up for more dough, like Vince
Edwards. So I got the network and
the sponsors on a conference call and
told them the whole situation. .
"'How far does an agent have to
go?' I asked them. They decided I
was sincere and was given until the
following morning to get an answer.

but he was in a twilight zone, you
know? Finally at II o'clock I got
him on the phone and he said yes"
1t all has a happy ending. The

next season. Bob Stack recovered
from the chicken pox. Shiffrin's
mother recovered from her appen-
dectomy. She really was at that hos
pital; there were two Mrs. Rebecca
Levins there.
And, for the record, Shiffrin did
have the chicken pox as a boy.

HOLLYWOOD (AP). - Fans of
The Untouchables will be interested
to learn that a case of chicken pox
almost put the television series off
the air.
That's the way the story is told
by Bill Shiffrin, bustling agent for
head Untouchable Robert Stack.
Shiffrin tells quite story. So let's
let him:
I'VE had reached the point in
negotiations when Bob was about to
sign for the fourth year. Let's face
it: Bob doesn't need the money, but
he was on fire about the show. He
felt it hadn't reached its potential,
and there was new production team
that looked great. =.
"ABC told us they had to have an
answer by 2 O'Clock the next day.
But Bob was home sick with the
chicken pox; he had caught it from
his kid, you know? Well, we talked
it over on the phone that night be-
fore zero hour and everything was
just about set. He'd let me know his
final answer the next day. ...
THE next day Bob was having his
worst siege; chicken pox can be
rough on adults, you know? The
doctor had put him out, and he
couldn't talk very well. ..
What was I to do? Desilu was
screaming at me. ABC and the
sponsors were waiting in New York
for an answer; they had to know,
so they could buy other time if The
Untouchables was going on. -.
Now it was 1880, and I decided
the only thing to do was go see Bob
and somehow wake him up. But
first I thought I'd better see if I'd
had chicken pox, you know? -.

 The estimated additional -reVe- hue from the high postal rates is s603 million a year; the estimated cost of the pay raises S1 .049 100000 q year.
 The pay raise would go to one million classified Civil Service en7- ployes and 590,ooo postal workers
 The increase, # inZtWo steps, would average 96 per cent for classified workers and II. per cent for postal workers. Classified workers would get a 5s5 per cent increase. when the bill is sHened and Al Der cent more in J4all- afy, 1864. Postal workers would receive 8.s per cent boost in tha. first step and 2.s per eea5 in January, 1864.
 There would be a , per eeH#ia= crease in pensions for 600,008 re tired Civil SerViee. workers and their survivors. The cost of 9his would be about $50 million q year.
 The measure how =soes back to t7e House which sent 1t to.the Senate in January only as a postal rate bill. Senate sponsors said they were confident the House would go along with the payraise sections.
 The bill gives President Ken =ncdy most of Whathe asked on postal rates and substantial amount of his pax raise reeom- mendations.
 The last fedefaa.pay raise=Was in 1860 when Congress voted q 7I2 per cent increase over . veto by President DNight. Eisenhower.

The rise in the mail charges would go into effect next Jan [ Rejected by a standing vote was an attempt by Sen Frank Laasehe. tD-Ohio1, to eliminate an author ization for q per cent increase for employees of Congress.
