products as a result of the
selective price increases BY
steelmaking suppliers.
Most of them still are mulline
over the situation or seeking
more information, a spot check
by the Associated Press across
the country showed today
However, the construction in
dustry appeared to be a possible
exception.
j. j. Buckley, executive vice
president of Youngstown Steel
Door Co., estimated that the
steel price rise will cause an
increase of about 2 per cent in
his company'S prices.
In New Brunswick, N. j., Tri-
angle Conduit e. Cable Co.
served notice of an indirect
price rise on steel conduit used
to inclose electrical wiring in
buildings. E. j. Simmons, a
vice president, said additional
steel costs to Triangle will be
recovered through elimination
of discount to distributors.
Fewer Bridges Seen
In Atlanta, Georgia's High
way Department director, Jim
ellis, said: "The steel price
increase will mean fewer
bridges. We have just so much
money"
Automakers, who use about a
ton of steel per vehicle, had
nothing to say, but informed
estimates placed the increase
in manufacturing costs at
tributable to the steel price
rise at from $25 to $50 a car.
Sources in Detroit said they
expect no change in price tags
on 1868 models. But what will
happen when 1864 models start
rolling this fall is a matter
of speculation, they noted.

National prosperity should
continue through 1868 and
1854, but there are several dark
clouds on the horizon, William
r. Biggs, New York banker and
chairman of the executive COM
mittee of Bookings Institution
Of Washington, declared last
night.
Addressing the spring eco
nomic meeting of the Union
Trust Co. at the Statler- Hilton
Hotel, Mr.. Biggs said higher
governmental and private
spending and an expected in
crease in capital expenditures
should lift the Gross National
Product to between $575 billion
and $3.50 billion in 1868, with
a gain Of $40 billion to $25 bill
lion from 1862.
He also forecast an increase
Of 3 to 5 per cent in industrial
production for the year, and
payment of a larger portion of
corporate earnings in dividends
as a result Of increased cash
flow. Corporate earnings may
increase S to 6 per cent, he
said.
His 1868 prediction was based
on an assumption that there
will be no tax cut this year,
and If such a cut does mate
rialize, gains will be somewhat
larger, he declared.
Sees Tax Cut in 1864
Assuming that in the elec-
ton year Of 1864, Congress will
get around to a tax cut of at
least So billion or $40 billion,
Mr.. Biggs said there should be
further improvement in that
year, ana a rise in Gross Ma
tional Product to we'll over 5000
billion.
Because of balance of pay
ments problems, the rise in
business and the likelihood of
a tax cut, the trend of money
rates in the two years should
be gradually upward, he pre-
dicted. Unemployment prob
ably will remain in the 5 to 6
per cent area, he added.
The speaker, who is a trustee
and vice president of The Bank
of New York, as well as a fl
nancial adviser to the Ford
Foundation, expressed misgiv-
ings over the darkening inter-
national scene, and said AL
kinds Of trouble" can be ex-
pected in the next couple of
years.

Sanitary Grades Needed
On All Food Processes

The move toward better sanitary inspection of
Minnesota eating places is most welcome and long
overdue development
The next step should be a grading system by
which places will be identified according to the de-
gree of sanitation practced by them - much as
milk is classified and sold according to the sanitary
conditions under which it is produced
Todays traveller, going into a strange restau-
rant has only limited means of judging whether 1t is
clean or not. The surface signs can be misleading.
Sanitary inspectors have large amount Of arbitrary
power but they are hesitant to use 1t against Of
tenders for a number of reasons 1t could mean sud
den death for somebody's business and livelihood or
1t could mean litigation.
The grading system is much preferable. 1t re-
wards clean establishments for maintaining high
sanitary standards and permits them to advertise
this 1t gives those which fall just short of the best
standards big incentive to comply sometimes
this involves nothing than soap, hot water or
paper towels in the wash room.) And it gives the
sanitary inspector alternative Ito closing up a
non-compying establishment he require such
an establishment to display "sub4standard" sani-
tary grade until 1t cleans up-just as milk produc-
er must accept substandard grade for milk pro-
duced under subStandard sanitary conditions.
The grading system should be applied to all es-
Establishments producing, processing or serving food,
and the time to start Is now.

Putting The Squeeze
On Rockefeller

Copyreaders do have the darnedest time. The
only prospective Presidential candidate who safely
fits into column of the average papers top head
letter type is Kennedy, who rates bigger headlines
anyhow. Goldwater Is a marginal case, and Rookie
feer is hopeless. That Is why he rates two-column
headline most Of the time and becomes Rocky" in
the one-column head.
But copyreaders ingenious and the most
ingenious of them all Is the who put Rockefel-
Ter into column of the Minneapolis Stars top
headetter type November 7. The Star uses 80
point Cheltenham Bold for its large one-column
headlines. This permits about nine letters or units.
Rockefeler's name takes about 10 units The only
way you squeeze him into one column is to
squeeze. But type does not squeeze. But the copy
desk and the composing room did 1t. They squeezed
the 10 units Of Rockefellers name into a 9-unit
column!
: Here's how they did it: The Cheltenham family
of type comes in many faces, all basically the
but with many differences like the faces Of family,
say Of boys. Alongside the Cheftenham Bold Is
face called Chetenham Bold Condensed. From now
ON we might call 1t Cheltenham Bold Squeezed, In
honor of the Star. They took the o and the three
Es of RoclSys and squeezed them. So the head
line fit with fat letters spelling Rc1fll-r and lean
ones for the spaces in between
Could this be omen Of lean political times
ahead for New Yorlx's Governor?

Billy Williams Played
A Quietly Effective
Role AT State House

The death hast week of William F. (Edlly) Will
Hams, former messenger later executive aide of IA
Minnesota governors at the age of sc removed one
uf the most ooorf figures in state capitol history
Williams was perhaps the best known individual
in state capitol governmental areas for many, many
years guarding he did the portals to the offices of
II chief executives spanning period of half
a century. He made thousands of friends among
people of an walks of Life
The regard by which he was held was symbol
lied by the fact that all seven of the former living
governors, except one and the states present gov
ernor Karl Rolvaag, gathered Nov 16 to pay their
hast respects to BILLY" Williams at his funeral.
Williams was an early victim of American racial
restrictions and discrimination. When he a star
of semi-pro baseball in this area, he sought by
John McGraw for the famed Baltimore Orioles,
Because Organized Baseball banned American Ne
groes from its ranks players, the Baltimore man
agement wanted Williams who could easily be mis-
taken for an American Indian, TO pose as one.
Williams great pride in his race and character
caused him to turn down the opportunity to enter
Big League baseball and perhaps join the ranks of
tabled baseball heroes of the earlier baseball leagues.
His experience did not embitter him it would have
lesser man.
1t will be difficult to measure the influence Mr..
Williams had on the racial concepts which Minnesota
governors of the past have had. Practically all Of
them were friendly to and interested in the advance
ment of the Negro. Some of them had their chief
contact with the Negro community in Minnesota
through Williams and George L. Hoage, Sr, another
member of the Negro community, who also
longtime governors office attache. Mr.. Williams
well Mr.. Hoage dignified friendly and court
eous, and by their actions made many friends with
rural legislators whose only contact with Minnesota
Negroes was often only the two men in the govern
ors office The bearing demeanor reputation and
position of BILLY" Williams helped create good
image Of Minnesota Negroes with the state gov
ernors, other state officials and the Legislators
through his So years of state service.
Indirectly the consideration which the legisla-
t1re of both houses treated civil rights measures
through the years, especially the members from the
rural areas, to degree, be traced to the high
regard with which many of them held Billy" Will
hams
Williams could have had for the asking num-
ber of state jobs with prestige and remunera-
ton but he seemed content to serve the states chief
executives with consumate skill till the day he re-
tired The state of Minnesota has right to be proud
of Mr. Williams who gave it his best days in high
honor. We join with many other citizens in paying
tribute to his memory

Leaders; Praises Prutfis

kS0oeFSi PRAISES PFofTlS
Editor: The Pittsburgh Courier
of the 26th instant carries an arti-
Gle from the pen of P. L. Prattis
columnist for the Courier and the
Associated Negro Press. The arti-
Gle is so sane and sensible and
searching that I feel that it will
do our cause good 10 pass it on
and on.
We are in great need Of such
deep and penetrating insight into
the current revolution straight
talk.
Says Mr.. Prattis: "Who Is lead
ing us? Do we have one leader, or
group of leaders, who can lead and
control the social revolution now
taking place in American life?
Are they prepared to lead to VIC
tory-or to Goldwater and loss of
gains already made? Are our pre-
sumed leaders leading or are they
following the way the popular
wind is blowing?
Granted that this revolution
was set in motion by the younger
generation, does this generation, by
and of itself, have the maturity
and wisdom to prevail against the
artifices of the w1llful opposition? ?
This I doubt.
"Is Adam Clayton Powell lead
ing us? Mr.. Powell recently boast
ed We have the white man on the
run; lets keep him that way. Is
this the feeling of most wise and
prudent Negroes? ? And even If it
were the feeling should 1t be ex-
pressed?
I'm knock-down drag-out fight,
how can twenty million people
already severely handicapped, keep
165 million people enjoying all the
advantages, on the run? The job
in my opinion, is not to keep the
whites on the run, but to win them
to our side. Significant numbers
are already on our side. Why not
try to get more?
rs young John Lewis, student
spokesman, our leader? Mr.. Lew
is speech at the March on Wash
ington celebration was edited be-
cause he had proposed to say: We
will not wait for the President,
the Attorney General or the Con-
gress to act?' IF we pass up the
President, the Attorney General
and Congress, how does Mr.. Lewis
propose that we win Freedom
Now? Has Mr.. Lewis more to Of
fer us on the road to salvation and
freedom than the President, At
torney General and the Congress ?
rs the articulate and resource
full James Farmer Of CORE our
leader? Mrs. Farmer is alleged to
have said in a New York speech:

General are responsible for the
bombings in Birmingham. If this
administration does not act, this
administration will be replaced
Does Mr.. Farmer expect you and
me to go along with him on that ?
Replaced? With what, whom? Re-
placed with Goldwater and the
backing of all the Negro-haters in
the nation? Can Mr.. Farmer name
any administration in United
States history that has attempted
to do more to make the Negro a
first-class citizen than the present
administration? One must remem-
Der that the Emancipation Pro-
clamation was a military measure
and did not abolish slavery in the
United States. The Thirteenth
Amendment to the Constitution did
that.
president Lincoln approved of
the amendment, but had nothing
to do with its rough passage
through the House and Senate.
Lincoln never lived to face the
proposition of dealing with all the
Negroes as equal citizens. The pre-
sent administration has faced this
problem. 1t has tried in many ways
to improve the status of Negro
citizens.
Many steps the administration
would like to take must be secured
through Congress. With die-hard
Democratic segregationists in the
Southland Indifferent Republicans
from white districts in the North,
it is no simple matter to get from
Congress all that Mr.. Farmer
might desire. 1t has to be a matter
Of giving and taking.
II am convinced that Mr.. Farmer
and others will not be satisfied
with it If a civil rights bill Is
passed. VIII they then turn to
Goldwater, or expect me to do
so?"
In this straight forward and
penetrating article Mr.. Prattis has
rendered the cause Of Negro ad-
vance a great service. Our young
leaders are to be highly commend
ed for the impetus that they have
given the cause of civil rights for
Negroes. History must acknow-
ledge their courage. But none Of
the leaders has come forward with
plan to break the filibuster, and
the fihbuster is the congressional
bottle-neck through which the any
effective civil rights bills must
pass.
We are rash and ruinious If we
blame the Kennedys for what they
are helpless to control. They have
stuck out their necks; and why
would Negroes chop along with the
Negrophobes?
