Mrs. Eisenhower is looking
forward to seeing her friends
in Washington next week
when she accompanies the
former President here for the
dinner Tuesday at the Sher-
aton-Park Hotel which will
celebrate his 73d birthday
anniversary.
Her plans to atten d the
$75-a-plate fund-r aisin g
banquet were confirmed in q
letter to Mrs. J. Willard Mar
riott, G. o. P. committee
woman for the District, who
is a co-chairman of the event.
The Eisenhowers will have a
family celebration at Gettys-
burg on Monday, actual date
of the Generals birthday,
she said.
The ticket sale is going
well, according to informal
reports made yesterday at a
tea for Dinner Committee
chairmen and m e m b ers Of
the Hospitality Committee at
the home Of Mrs. Robert r.
Mccormick on Massachusetts,

Mrs. Kay Hanson, who
shares the Press Relations
Craftsmanship with Mr.. VIII
liam Sprague of the Repuhli-
can National Committee, was
enthusiastic over the enter
tainment being lined up, but
said she couldn't disclose the
details yet.
The dinner is being spon-
sored by the Republican Ma
tional Committee, the Dis
trict Republican Committee
and the G. o. P. Capitol Hill
Club.

learned that III cir greatest

Library science offers

alumnae learned, and pro-

to inquire into auxiliary posi-
tons which would fit their

haps even offer the potential

PIT Boat Sinking
 Described as Confused" In Naval History Book

BOSTON R - The World War II action in which the patrol boat commanded by then It. John Ken nedy was sunk is described in an official history as confused and ineffective.
 The book released recently by the Director of Naval History was written by Capt. Robert Bulkley Jr. and carries a foreWord by President Kennedy.
 Titled "At Close Quarters" it covers the operations of Navy PIT boats in World War II including the exploits of PIT Skipper Ken nedy.
 In his foreword, Kennedy says: pr boats filled an important need in World War II in shallow waters, complementing the achieve ments of greater ships in greater seas. The need for small, fast, versatile, strongly armed ships does not Wane."
 Bulkley, who died while his manuscript was on its way to the government printing office, in no way detracts from previous ac- counts of Kennedy's heroism. The book tells how on Aug. 1-2, 1943, squadron of 15 American | PIT boats was on the prowl to in- tercept four Japanese destroyers in | the Blackett Strait off Kolomban- gra Island in the southwest Pacific. It describes the ramming and sinking of It. Kennedy's PT-1O9 by the Japanese destroyer Anna girl in this way:
 "This was perhaps the most con- fused and least effectively exc cuted action the PTS had been in. Eight PTS fired 30 torpedoes. The only confirmed results are the loss of PT-109 and damage to the Japanese destroyer Amagiri.
 "The Amagiri was not hit by torpedo, but vibrated so badly after ramming the PT-1O9 that she was unable to proceed at high speed.
 ''The chief fault of the PTS was that they didn't pass the word. Each boat attacked independently, leaving the others to discover the enemy for themselves"

AS scandals 60 in Washington,
the Bobby Baker case is not, on
the basis of the facts so far known,
as malodorous as some other x
amples of recent and longer
memory.
In fact, it could be plausibly ar
gued that in general the personal
integrity of Government officials
regardless of the parry in power
has been higher in recent years
than in many times in the past IN
Administrations such as GrantS
and Harding's there was seeming
" a much larger content OF indi-
vidual corruption.
These comments + not meant
to condone any current instances
of influence peddling, personal
enrichment from public office,
dubious entertainments and the
rest. On the contrary, our point is
that such goings-on are but the
tip of the iceberg of Governmental
corruption or loose morality or
whatever you want to call 1t. The
roots of contemporary Federal cor
ruption lie deeper.
In Grants time the Federal
establishment was small and rel
atively weak. Consequently the
scandals were limited in their
impact. But what of the situation
today? Enormous power is concen-
trated in a relatively few hands.
Those hands take in and pay out,
in the totally of Federal transac-
tons, far more than 500 billion a
year. And the Government is
literally into everything.
Thus the true moral of the
Billie Sol Estes stencil is not the
saga of an individual crook, as it
might have been in Grants time.
It is that the farm program IS
made for corruption because the
whole idea of the Government
runnig the agricultural economy,
making wards of farmers, in itself
immoral by any decent definition
of terms.
The recurrent worries about
defense and space contracting are
much the same story. From time

What Rockefeller Can Gain

that, unless Senator Goldwater
or any other aspirant is willing
to run on a platform that suits
the New York governor, he may
not support the national ticket.
This has not been spelled out
explicitly, but many observers
have certainly gotten the i'm
preston that the New York
governor wants the nominee and
the Republican platform to con-
form to his views or he will
bolt the ticket. He hasn't used
the word "bolt, "but the impli-
cation Is there. Unless it is
cleared up, many Republicans
will assume that the New York
governor is getting ready to
split the Republican Party,
which, Of course, as in 1912,
would merely result in an over
whelming electoral vote for
the Democratic presidential
nominee.
The voters commend a man
who stands on principle, but
they don't like to see one of
the leaders Of a party assume
what appears to some to be
an all-or-nothing attitude.I If the
course is persisted in and the
Republicans lose, it could doom

as he would then be regarded
as the man who wrecked e
Republican Party's chances and
made easy the reelection of

Party, in choosing a nominee

craftsmanship and campaign for

Solid Signal OF Upturn

the 4 per cent rise does seem disap-
pointing.
But it's an excellent guess that this
percentage will be increased percepti-
bly, by the spring of 1864 and here are
two items in the McGraw-HiIl survey
indicating why.
Item: This is only the start of the
corporation budget season and if the past
is any guide, the tendency of many
company arrangements will be to boost
these preliminary projections later.
Only a half-year ago, the steel industry
expected its spending in 1864 would be
II per cent below 1863. Now, this
industry is planning a spectacular so per
cent INCREASE in its capital invest
ments! Only six months ago, manufac-
turers as a whole said they would
spend in 1864 exactly the same amount
they are spending in 1868. Now manu-
~facturerS expect to increase their invest
ment by a hefty 5 per cent : mean
ing that, for the first time, m~anufactur-
ing companies in 1864 will invest a big
ger total than during their record spend
ing spree of 1857. AS today the rail-
roads say their spending will drop Il
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 sug-
gests the high probability that spending
plans will be raised when the tax cut
goes through.
Undermining this is the fact that many
companies told McGraw-Hill they would
spend more if the economy is stimulat-
ed by a tax cut.
Business spending is not going to be
a drag on the economy in 1854, as some
have feared. 1t will be a sturdy prop.
1t could become a major Stimulant If
tax reduction encourages corporations to
raise their investment sights from mod
est to strong as 1864 progresses.

Money Trouble Ahead?

sor, "the twenty years 1932-1952.
Output increased relatively
twice as much as prices. Infla-
ton was one of the costs of
this advance; and certainly has
to be put against the gains. But
would many contend that the
cost was excessive even grant
ed las / would the initiation
might have been cut by so per
cent? When the gains outputwise
are large relative to the infla-
ton, the case for an expanion-
list money policy becomes siren
ger"
Such a statement does not
indicate that Professor Harris
would ever be a wild initiation
iSt, for, on its face, it seems
to prove that he would have
recommended a monetary poll
cy in the New Deal period
that would have given us a
se~venty-five cent dollar instead
of our present fifty-cent collar.
But what botherS conservative
economists is that Harris has
never distinguished between
sound credit based on private in
veStment and the arbitrary null
tiplication Of monetary paper
by government fiscal shenani-
gans. They are afraid that Har-
riS would fail to support Chair
man Martins policy of raising
interest rates when a boom
threatens to reach an initiation
airy stage.
Whether Seymour Harris is
wholly the devil that conserva-
tives suspect him to be is an
arguable question. His writings

tainly generally worshipful of

Future OF Wet Nam
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON. "A long
night of worry for the future in
South Wet Nam has settled in
for high American policy-mak-
ers. If any jubiliation was initial
ly felt here among junior Off
Gals at the destruction Of the
government of Ngo Dinh Diem
with which Washington h a d
long been having troub,e-noth-
ing Of that sort is anywhere dis
cernible now.
Instead there is a morning-af-
ter mood. In part this is pro-
duced by genuine rcgret at the
assassination Of a man the peo-
pie would in fact have liked to
see remain in power if on'y he
would have got rid of his erratic
brother, Ngo Dinh Nhu. oni-
cally, American Ambassador
Henry Cabot Lodge had prepar-
ed for a cable reporting that
Diem seemed to be moving a
bit more our way ON the very
day the insurrection was mount
ed.
In larger part, however, the
air of concern is caused by
these new fears:
/. That "super patriots" at

20 generals which deposed Diem
may go on killing, and thus fur
Their stain the new regime and
raise questions Of its capacity
to govern in decency.

the generals might conceivably
not be so reliably anti-Cclmu-
mist as the great majority is, and
SO might begin what abo.c all
else is to be feared. This is
some under-the-cover negotiation
with the Communist invaders of
South Wet Nam SO long fought
off by the Diem government
backed by $4,000 American
troops.

immemorial, we suppose some
body has been around to make a
fast buck or drachma out of a
nations defense needs, and some
official has been ready to oblige.
But when you expand the things
so hugely, spending supwards of
$50 billion a year, the opportun-
tiles for wrongdoing or question
able conduct rise geometrically.
At some point the sheer quantity
of Federal activity becomes quail
itative; that is, the quality of
acceptable standards sinks.
So it is with numerous less es-
sential Federal undertakings, no
matter how sweet the names.
Urban renewal covers a multitude
of sins, including such police-state
tactics as entering homes without
warrant. Not least of it's vices is
the encouragement it gives to the
all-too-active graft propensities
of big-city political machines.
To make matters worse, the
Government keeps lengthening
the labyrinth Of loose practices.
The Area Redevelopment Admin
istration is a fairly new agency,
but it is already such a notorious
device for dispensing political
favors that Congress, scarcely
sanity in these matters, is having
doubts about this outfit. It has
even been described as the Chris
tine Keller Of the Administration.
And that is pretty much the
crux of the matter. The Govern
ment in our time, contrary to all
the intentions of its founders, has
Systematically attempted to prosti-
tute the people, albeit with protes-
tations of nobility and IN many
Individual cases with the highest
motivations. It's efforts to help the
people have frequently ended up
depriving them of what used to be
considered virtues.
In that spectrum the Bobby

energies, is but a small symptom.

sad fact that, all too often, a gov
eminent grown SO enormous and

The chronicle., 1963-11-08

We now have the first solid dollarS-and-
cents signal that the current 33-month-old
business upturn will continue well into
1864.
The signal lies in this n fact: Amerl-
can businessmen already plan a 4 per
cent hike in their spending on new plants
and equipment in 1864 to a record dollar
amount Of $4O.7 billion.
This 4 per cent rise, revealed today
In McGraw-Hill's fall survey of bust
ness investment plans, definitely does
not telegraph a boom Immediately
ahead. Rather, if the spending increase
actually turns out to be only this modest
in 1864. it will help hold the overall
economic expansion to moderate proper
tons. AS will be outlined below, though.
there are persuasive reasons for believing
that in coming months businessmen will
raise their sights on this spending and
will thereby add power to the 1864 up
turn.
Why, you well might ask, is business
spending on plants SO important to the
speed and life of the business advance?
It's so important, first, because this
type Of spending not only directly Gre
ates Jobs but it also reflects business
confidence in future sales and profits.
ALI you need do is look at one of
the new factories being built around you
to see how this construction gobbles up
basic materials, employs workers, helps
all businessmen patronized by these
workers. To put it with exaggerated
simplicity, a dollar spent by a corpora
ton on a new factory has a much
faster and bigger impact on IL eco
nomy than a dollar spent by you on
a haircut.
It's so important, second, because this
type Of spending lays the foundation for
long-term prosperity and growth.
Corporations investing in new plants
and equipment are able to cut costs and
heighten the efficiency productivity Of
their workers. Their more productive
plants permit them to boost their pro-
fits or pay higher wages : or both.
Their more efficient factories permit them
10 improve the quality Of their products
o. reduce prices : or both.
It's SO important, third, because this
type of spending on modern, cost-cut-
ting plants will make our corporations
more competitive in the markets of the
world. Any spur to our export trade is
a plus factor for us.
In view Uf the all-time high profits
U. S. corporations are making now and
the major incentives they have been
given to invest in plants and equipment,
