al title to block judicial quest for truth,
or action in the light of it.
Save for the Shattering of precedentS
already, it would be incredible that
the Justice Department has moved,
from Washington, to block an Alabama
grand jury investigation into the de-
partment's role in furnishing transpor-
tation for integration leader Martin Luz
Their King.
A Federal district judge at Mobile
swiftly rejected the departments request
to that end, but the Team will u out
the plays on its string and will try
again, this time before the U. S. Court
Of Appeals.
Having preempted the area of agita-
ticn until the political facts of life dawn
ed like thunder on the Washington scene,
the Bobby Kennedy branch of govern
ment now proposes to preempt the IN
vestigation field = and restrain by law
if possible a state check within its own
domain Of just how it happened that
King was transported from place to place
at taxpayer expense.
Having avowed at first that it Just
didn't happen, the department subSe-
quently admitted that it did - but de-
clared that actually there was nothing
about it to conceal. Besides, the in
discreet Justice employee who had rent
ed the car SO conveniently for King, had
been fired, hadn't he? So, cross their
hearts and hope to die, that was all
there was to it. Case closed
But the case wasn't closed insofar as
Alabama is concerned. Exercising the
judicial processes not yet blotted out of
existence by usurpation or fiat, state au-
thorities invoked grand jury action, for
the signal purpose Of finding out
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth. For that Alabama owes
nobody any apology, nor a by-your-leave
nod in the direction Of the U. S. At
torney General.
It was Alabama that had disclosed
the facts in the case, which ~thereupon
the Justice Department attempted to de-
molish with denial. 1t certainly is with
in the province of Alabama authority
to set up a full dress review, calling
witnesses, and exacting of them answers
under oath.

compare corporate financing
with that of the federal govern
ment and say hat the latter
is better because it did not
increase its debt as much as
did the private sector in the
economy. Individuals may incur
debt by borrowing to buy their
homes, but they earn enough
money after expenses to make
regular payments on the mort
cages and at the same time to
buy an automobile and pay for
it in two or three years. No
body could buy an automobile
in 1948 and fail to pay it off
by 1862. And yet the federal
government has merely borrow
ed the same amount of money
to refund or replace the pre-
viouS Indebtedness, so that the
total amount Of the 1948 debt
remains on the books, plus in
creased borrowings of $54 bill
lion since 1948.
President Kennedy also gave
an erroneous impression when
he discussed profits. He S
done so on several occasions
lately in discussing this subject.
He said to the Florida Chamber
Of Commerce:
"Why is it that profits are at
an all-time high in the nation
today? 1t is because the nation
as a whole is prospecting"
What Mr.. Kennedy did not tell
the American people is til
profits in a realistic sense are
way below what they were a few
years ago.
Thus, manufacturing corpora
tons from 1855 to 1857 which
was an era Of sustained econ
omic activity and relatively full
employment - earned So per
cent on their sales and III
cents per dollar on their net
worth.
But since the year 1857 pro-
fits of manufacturing corpora
tons have been at relatively de-
pressed levels. For the last
six years, they have averaged
only As per cent of sales. This
means that profits are Is per
cent below the So average Of
the 1955-1957 period. The profits

WASHINGTON, President
Kennedy would not Intentional
ly mislead the American people
about the finances of the gov
eminent of the United States -
but unfortunately, some of
speechwriterS have given a
wrong comparison of the way
the federal government and pri-
yate business, respectively,
handle their debts.
Mr.. Kennedy, in a speech
on Monday before the Florida
Chamber of Commerce, gave
the impression that the federal
government is a better Fiscal
manager" than private business.
He said:
"While the federal net debt
was growing less than 20 per
cent in these years (1948 to
1862, total corporate debt-not
my debt, your debt-was grow
ing by nearly 200 per cent and
the total Indebtedness of pri-
vate individuals rose up 300 per
cent. So who is the most eau
tiouS fiscal manager"
There is no real parallel.
What Mr.. Kennedy failed to
make clear was that during all
this time, while corporations
and individuals were increasing
their debts, they were also
paying off their loans or mort
cages or were borrowing mon
ey to acquire new assets. The
federal government, on the 9TH
er hand, was borrowing money
almost entirely to refund past
loans, but not to reduce debt.
During these very years -
1913 to 1862 - when the total
corporate debt was rising up
1923 billion, these same corpo-
rations earned 1921 billion in
profits after taxes. In contrast,
the federal government during
that same period had total bud
get deficits of SAL billion and at
the same time added $54 bill
lion to the gross public debt.
No business could borrow
money if it did not reduce its
past debts out of its SURPRISES.
An increase in corporate debt
is based upon the expectation of
repayment Of this same debt in
a specified time. A very small
part of any such Indebtedness
is refinanced without at least a
substantial payment on til
principal.
But the federal government
makes no such curtailment of
its principal and keeps on bor-
rowing more and more money,
mourning more and more def
cts, and increasing its total
debt.
Any business which attempted
to finance itself on the pattern
of the federal government would
certainly not be able to borrow
any money in the capital mar
kets today or at any other time.
Thus, the federal government in
fiscal year 1868 piled up a gross
borrowing Of $227 billion, Of
which less than So billion repre-
scented growth in the net debt.
The remaining $219 billion W a S
borrowed to refund existing
debt.
Corporations, on the other
hand, have been paying off a
substantial part of their loans,
and their increased ebt repre-
sents investment in new pro-
jects - new plants and equip
ment or new enterprises.

again If the British were to
leave without permitting a final
election. Despite the prospects
for another repreSsive dictator
ship, the attitude Of both the
Conservative Party in London
and the local British Seewed to
be that Guiana was Of no inn
portance at all, and if Jagan
were to proclaim a Castroite
revolution it would menace no
body who counted for anything
anywhere.
That was the way things stood
before Macmillan passed the
reinS of Conservative power in
London to Lord Home, who, as
Britain'S Foreign Minister, had
seemed oblivious to what was
going on in British Guiana. But
Home, as he surrendered lis
lords title to become Prim
Minister as Sir Alec Douglas
Home, impressed Jagan's polit-
cal opponents as someone who
would be open to reason in his
more exalted political position.
Unable to get any trustworthy
indication from Cheddi Jagan
that British Guiana would re-
main a democracy after Brit
ish departure, Fobes Bunham
and Pete d'Aguiar decided to
take their case to Sir Alec in
person.
Passing through New York
City on his way to London,
Peter d'Aguiar told his North
American friends that, for the
first time, he was hopeful that
the British would not quit their
colony without holding new cleo
tons under a system that '. nd
allow a majority coalition in
stead of a Jagan-dominated mi
mority to rule. There were, evil
IDENTIFY, some bitter arguments in
London as Cheddi Jagan press
ed his own case for freedom
without any new election. But,
as d'Aguiar had hoped, the new
government of Sir Alec Douglas
Home did turn out to be reason
able. Cutting Jagan off, the Brit
iSh imposed the solution which
Burnham and d'Aguiar had ask
ed for. And so, barring a sue
cessful Jagan appeal to vio-
lence, which would seem 10 be
unlikely before the British de-
parture, there will be another
election this time, under proper
tional representation rules.
British Guiana is not lost to

Dollar Quite Stable

for goods and services, Of vast
pools Of savings accumulated
only because there was little
on which the savings could be
spent during the wartime '40S,
Of an upward spiral of wages.
Let's get this point straight:
there can be no absolute sta
bility In prices or In a cur
rency's purchasing power In a
dynamic society = and ours is
a dynamic society. A move
ment - up or down - of a
percent or so over a 12-month
period must be considered ap-
proximate stability. Now here's
our recent record:
In the past Il months, the
governments consumer price
index - our measure Of living
cost changes - has climbed less
than / per cent. The index is
at an all-time high, but it has
moved only from 1861 to 1911
In a whole year. To put this
In perspective, today it costs a
bit over SLOT to buy the mar
ketbaSket that 81 would have
bought in 1888, roughly five
years ago.
In the past IL months, the
dollars buying power has slip
ped l per cent. It's value in
the marketplace is at a new
low, but the erosion is now at
a creeping pace. Again to put
this in perspective, the 81 which
bought 100 cents worth OF
goods and services in 1888
buys under "a cents worth in
these closing weeks Of 1868.
Prices are firming. The dang
er of a renewed price upswing
never can be shrugged off. But
our recent record has been
good, and as a result the vast
majority Of Americans who are
getting annual pay hikes a d
who have savings neSteggs
earning 4 per cent or more a
year are coming out way ahead
of the economic game.
The chronicle., 1963-11-22

In 50 Of the last 80 years.
the cost Of living Of American
families has risen and the buy
ing power of the u. S. dollar
they have earned and saved has
dwindled.
In only rs years in close to
a century have living costs de-
clined and the dollar gained
buying power and these were
primarily periods of national
crisis in the post-Civil War era,
the post-World War l era and
the great depression of the early
1905. The number Of Americans
suffering deep hardship during
those years dwarfed the number
benefiting from the trends.
In a Scant II Of the years
going all the way back to 1871
have living costs and the dol.
lars purchasing power been suf-
ficiently stable to justify the
claim that these basic barome-
tiers TO the U. S. family's well
being held their own.
Each generation born in these
80 years has had less than one
chance out Of 10 that the nest
egg Of dollars it worked so
hard to accumulate would main
tain its value. The odds have
been 81 per cent that the dol
lars value would shrink in all
the 3O-year periods since 1871.
Throughout the thousands Of
years Of recorded time, the
fundamental trend of living costs
has been up and the basic d.
rection Of paper money values
has been down. In fact, the
historian Arnold J. Toynbee re-
ports he has never found an in
stance in which the value Of the
currency of any country in any
era of history has risen over
a prolonged period.
1t is against this background
that you must weigh the COM
parative stability in living costs
and in the u. S. dollars buy
ing power in the past several
years.
This stability is remarkable in
terms of our own record. 1t is
spectacular in terms of the rec
ords Of underdeveloped nations
and Of other industrialized ma
tons which like us have gone
through two world wars in one
generation.
Initiation was rampant in the
U. S. following World War II
and the Korean conflict. This
is why today's cost Of living
is up a shattering 221 per cent
since 1899 and 131 per cent
since 1947-49. This is why the
dollar which was worth 100
cents in the marketplace in 1899
is worth only As cents now and
the dollar which would buy 100
cents Of goods and services in
194749 will buy only rs cents
worth Of the same goods and
services in 1868.
But we emerged from those
initiation eraS long ago. Not for
years have prices and the dol
lar been battered by the pres
sureS Of severe scarcitieS Of
materials, machines and man.

strong farm economy while pro-
viding the needed open spaces
for urban growth.
Professional planners today
talk in turns of cluster housing.
Cluster housing simply is a
principle that it is more ef-
ficient to group houses closer
together and provide for sur
rounding open space, rather
than spreading homes over a
wider area. To use an example,
ten houses with 100 acres of
land are best clustered on ten
acres leaving go acres clear.
Why not cluster farming2
5000 acres for example in
community devoted essentially
to farming is better than the
same Is to 80 farms scattered
among housing developments or
industrial areas. Groups of good
farms can effect the same e.
economies as industries which
group near one another to share
services which would have to be
built separately.
This concept is not far fetched
even for the farmer. Here in
Delaware the SO called "gen-
eral farm" has all but passed
out of the picture. Todaywe have
dairy farms, fruit farms, poul-
try farms, vegetable farms as
larger specialized units. But to
effect even greater savings in
costs we will have to have e.
nough of each type of farming
unit relatively close together
to be able to compete with
other areas of the country.
Our farmers are blessed with
many natural advantages: level
land, with few stones, fairly
large tracts lat presently, reas-
enable supplies of water re-
sources, closeness to the big
markets, an equitable tax struc-
ure compared withneighboring
states. But we can easily lose
these things as our population
builds up unless we work to-
gether to provide for planned

are faced with higher costs
of production, explained Hes

"This squeeze has forced
dairymen to look for new ways
to reduce production costs and
increase the amount of milk
they sell. These sessions are
planned to help Delaware dairy
men to make the most of their
opportunities in dairy farming"
-Hesseltine said.
