mates and astronomy were
not in conflict with the
spiritual truths Of historic
Judaism.

in theology. 1t refers to any
system of philosophy or

Workers Union next year,
Value Line said:
"The second major 1864 i'm
ponderable is what will happen
when labor contracts come up
for renewal next fall. One Of
the reasons that the auto
makers have Jared so well this
year and last is that only
token concessions were made
to the JAW in two previous
negotiations. 1853 and 1851"
Looking at the auto market
prospects for the next few
years. Wis economists said:
I'VE expect that total car
demand will not show much
improvement over the 1868
level. even looking as far out
as 1870. Current year produc-
ton may mark a high-water
mark for several years and the
all-time 1855 total could stand
until the end of this decade.
ION the basis of this prospect,
auto stocks do not seem attrac-
tive for purchase now,
'The gains of AMC and

ably by a rapidly expanding
market and the auto industry
is not expected to be similarly
favored within the next five

YOUR MONEYS WORTH
Business Spending
Points to Strength

We now have the first solid
indication that the current 80
month-old business upturn
will continue into 1864.
This lies in this one fact:
businessmen plan a four per
cent increase in spending on
new plants and equipment in
1864 to a record dollar amount
of $40.7 billion.
This four per cent rise, re-
vealed in McGraw-Hill's fall
survey Of business investment
plans. definitely does not indi-
cate a boom Immediately
ahead. Rather. If the spending
increase actually turns out to
be only four per cent in 1864,
it will help hold the overall
economic expansion to moder-
ate proportions. AS will be out
lined below, though, there are
persuasive reasons for believ-
ling that in coming months
businessmen will raise their
sights on this spending and
will thereby add power to the
1864 upturn.
Why, you we'll might ask, is
business spending on plants so
important to the speed and life
Of the business advance?
Creates Jobs
It's so important, first, be-
cause this tpe of spending not
only directly creates jobs but
it also reflects business conf
dence in future sales and pro-
fits.
All you need do is look at the
new factories going up to see
how this construction gobbles
up basic materials, employs
workers and helps business
men. To put it simply, a dollar
spent by a corporation on new
factory has a much faster and
bigger impact on the economy
than a dollar spent on a hair
cut.
Corporations investing in
new plants and equipment are
able to cut costs and improve
the efficiency productivity of
their workers. Their more pro-
ductive plants permit them to
increase their profits or pay
higher wages-or both. Their
more efficient factories permit
them to improve the quality of
products or reduce pTices-or
both.
It's so important, because
this type of spending on mod
ern, cost-cutting plants will
make corporations more COM
petitive in the world markets.
Any spur to our export trade is
important.
In view Of the all-time high
profits United States corpora
tons are making now and the
major incentives they have
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-11-10

been given to invest in plants
and equipment, the four per
cent rise does seem disappoint-
ing.
But it's a good guess that
this percentage will be in
creased perceptibly by the
spring of 1864 and here are
two items in the McGraw-Hill
survey indicating why.
Item: This is only the start
Of the corporation budget sea-
son and If the past is any
guide, the tendency Of many
company arrangements will be
to raise these projections later.
Spending Increased
Only a half-year ago, the
steel industry expected its
spending in 1864 would be IL
per cent below 1868. Now, this
industry is planning a so per
cent increase in its capital in
veStments! Only six months
ago, manufacturers as a whole
said they would spend in 1864
exactly the same amount they
are spending in 1868. Now
manufacturers expect to in
crease their investment by a
hefty eight per cent meaning
that, for the first time, manu-
featuring companies in 1854
will invest a bigger total than
during their record capital
spending spree of 1857. AS Of
today the railroads say their
spending will drop IA per cent
in 1864. Signs that a shortage
of freight cars is developing
could switch this minus into a
plus in the months ahead.
Item: None of the projections
was made on the basis of a tax
cut an exceedingly crucial
point, for this suggests the
high probability that spending
plans will be raised when the
tax cut goes through.
Undermining this is the fact
that many companies told Nc
Graw-Hill they would spend
more if the economy is stimu-
lated by a tax cut.

sion into a parking lot eases
the parking problem through
out the area.
villain A. McClosky, con-
troller of the John w. Miller
store, said people called them
crazy" when they moved into
the area five years ago but he
has counted a so per cent in
crease in sales.
The Hub created 10000
square feet Of furniture selling
space for the street when it
ripped down and rebuilt two
buildings at the corner Of D
street, remodeled two OF h ers
and erected a new front in
1861.
Bertram Banker, manager,
said the Schneider brothers of
Baltimore were confident that
the area could recapture much
of the c arriage trade when
they spent $3.50, 900 to remodel
a Woolworth store and move to
Seventh street eight years ago.
Seventh streets skid began
when transportation n e e d s
changed. the trolleys became
outmoded and the downtown
started to shift westward.
Meanwhile. the District con.
tinues with its s1.9 million prof.
ect to rip up the trolley rail-

DETROIT. "A well-known
investment survey firm sounds
q note of caution in almost
unanimous predictions that the
auto industry Is in for another
big year.
The Value Line, published by
a New York investment firm,
said in its appraisal of the 1864
automotive market:
Although peak-level earn
ings are in prospect this year
for the big three auto manu-
facturers General Motors,
Ford and Chrysler), we esti-
mate that 1864 output and
sales will decline despite the
off-to-a-running start made
by new models during the
fourth quarter.
I'VE visualize between SIS
million and 7.25 million cars
next year depending upon
Cd whether, and how soon, a
tax reduction bill is passed and
90 whether labor contracts
can be renegotiated next year
without a prolonged strike. In
any event, VI suggests a de-
cline in 1864 from the rs mil
lion units estimated for this
calendar year."
To emphasize the Importance
of the proposed Federal in
come tax cut to the auto in
dustry, Value Line drew up
one set Of estimates pegged on
the assumption that there will
be no tax cut in the immediate
future.
It said that in such a case
the demand for autos would be
100000 to $4,000 units lower
than anticipated.
This much production lee
way can mean the difference
between a good year and a
poor one, at least for some of

turers," vi reported.
