Fortunately. the Congress now

PRESIDENT Kennedy's decision to
test nuclear power. in the atmo-
sphere is dictated by military necessity.
Americas last atmospheric tests were
IN 1858, four years ago, and it is said
that an entirely revamned arsenal of
rearons is now ready for testing. Rus
STA opened the n~uclear arms testing
when the Soviets broke the ban against
atmospheric testing several months ago.
American acientists are not as much
concerned with the 5O-megaton bomb,
as they are to test the underseas &C
curacy of the rocket carrying an atomic
warhead, OR, the testing of a clean
atomic weapon with no fateful. fallout,
which can be used in this country or in
friendly countries. Also. to be tested
are the anti-missile bombs, to be used to
destroy enemy missiles directed to this
country. In the latter may lie the diff
ference between life and death for many
million Americans.
The hue and cry which may be raised
against further testing Of n~uclear pow
er may be sincere but certainly the best
interests of the nation come first.
Whether or not the announcement Of
testing was timed with the impending
disarmament conference in Geneva is

over 1000. 0O0. 900 (seven billion
shares of common stock are
listed on the New York Stock
Exchange and less than one bill
lion more on the American Ex-
change. Ninety per cent of the
latter are of small speculative
companies which we will not
now count. None of the latter
affect the Dow-Jones Industrial
Average. Of the above-mention-
ed seven billion shares I will
estimate approximately how
many shares are tied up and
how many are free to break
quickly in a crash.
The New York Stock Ex-
change has over 1900 members.
OF these 80 are banking firms
in active business. These should

That total 1851. 200. 900

dends. number of population, as
sessment of real property, gross
national product. and value of
the dollar. these figures would
be severely changed. The final
result. however. would show
that the percentages would not
be materially changed.
Compound Interest
Now to my conclusion: The
percentage of deductions indi-
Gates the possible percentage of
cushions or curbs to any even
tual crash. including legislation
as to margins. The percentage
of these cushions" is increas-
ing more rapidly than the total
shares. This is due to a far
greater public interest in invest
ments and a greater percentage
of mony coming into the treas
urls of mutual funds. insurance
companies. labor unions, and
savings accounts. Also impor-
tant Is the increased increment
of compound interest. which ap-
plies mainly to the deductions.
All of the above means that al.
though we will continue to have
bear and bull" trends (due to
Newton's Law of Action and Re-
action )barring World War III,
no reader of this column will
see another stock market crash
like 1929.
I cannot overemphasize the
great importance of cumulative
compound interest. At six per
cent money doubles in IL years.
Most Of the deductible funds
mentioned above will yield
about four per cent. This means
that they are constantly increas-
ing In comparison herewith
probably around two per cent.
This means that the Dow Jones

New Nuclear Tests

Of little moment. The fact is that Rus
STA and the Soviet bloc can discuss dis
armament seriously, or the testing will
be made. If the Soviet is serious about
disarmament they have the opportunity
of showing it at the conference table.
So far as we are concerned, the safety
Of this nation is Of prime Importance
and should not be governed by the
chicanery of the Soviet or the pacifists.
We live dangerously in a world of dam
ger. No one survives by pacifism. Peace
depends upon the ability of the United
States to take care of itself first SO as
to be in a position to aid her friends
and allies.
We do not believe Khrushchev wants
to attack the United States now, and
so long as this nation maintains it's
defense armament superior to that Of
Russia there will be no attack. Time is
on our side only if we use it to make our
arsenal strong and stronger.

quarter.
Coach Red Auerbach, who
has blasted the Celtics in a
closed = door session at New
York Tuesday night after their
fourth straight loss to the last
place KnickS, wasn't around to
handle the team in the second
half. Boston's leading scorer,
Tommy Heinsohn, was thrown
out of the game for fighting
with Tom NIeschery of the
Warriors with 10 seconds left
in the first half. When Auer-
bach protested the thumbing of
Heinsohn, Referee Jim Duffy
disposed of the coach as we'll.
Meschery stayed around, but
first needed repairs to close a
cut near his left eye.
The Boston victory came in
the second game of a Boston
Garden double header and
moved the Celts within three
victories of matching their rec
ord total of SO in the 1959-60
