TRUMAN WITHDRAWAL CAUSES BRIGHTER 0UTL00K-BABS0N Defense Industries Like ly Get More Workers, Financier Thinks. Babson Park, Mass., April 11.— Headlines about unemployment in certain sections such as Detroit ana New Bedford have made depress ing reading. Events, however, are sometimes more important than statistics. I for one, have been greatly encourag ed by the recent withdrawal of President Truman from the raceT My miore optimistic feeling comes from the fact that a R**er W. Babtoa num b e r of the oth er contestants for the Presidency are more conservative than is Mr. Truman. And a more conservative outlook is what we need to encour age capital investment, which is the source of all jobs. Declining Employment Areas According to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there has been a decline in employment in such in dustries as clothing, food, lumber and textiles/ In the clothing indus try there are about 60,000 fewer jobs today than a year ago. Likewise, there are about 65,000 fewer food jobs, 20,000 fewer lumber, and 75,- fewer textile jobs. The answer to the unemployed worker in a consumer-goods indus try is a job in a defense industry. By late 1952, it may be difficult in deed for the consumer-goods indus try to find laid-off workers. They may have been snapped up by de fense industries and paid wages that consumer-goods companies will find difficult to meet. Best Job Bets Best job bets for 1952 will be in the defense industries, although, in the long run, more 1 secure employ ment is to be found in consumer- goods industries. The proddetien jobs today on the increase are in such Idustries'as heavy machinery,' metals, chemicals, and paper—to mention a few! Tot example, there are today 200,000 orme jobs in ma chinery plants than there were a year ago 100,000 more in met als, 12,000 in chemicals, and 15,000 in paper.- Transportation equipment and materials handling manufac turers are employing about 160,- 000 more people. The college senior with a me chanical-electrical enginneering de gree is in very short supply now and can therefore, almost write his own contract!

Salaries for the college sen ior in 1952 will be about 10 per cent higher than those offered to the 1951 graduate! Whal's Ahead? ~ What does this picture mean to the United States? Actually, there j is a boom today in certain jobs i compared with the boom in stocks > of 1929. Employment is high. Sav-1 ings are above normal. Wages may, rise another $15 billion, from $165 billion this year to about $180 bil-i lion next. After increased taxes, j this could mean about an $8 billion i increase in people's earnings, and; should further increase savings. ! The cost of living, however, has people are doing as little work as i possible for their current high wages. We are experiencing a “wage- workers’ prosperity;” btu some day J thsi wage K,lhK1 r "'il] hiir>rt-n • have' the stock markeTTubbles of the i pasL. Americans should realize this' and begin to save for the rainy day. 1 The wage earner ought to plan to| buy a little life insurance, then pur-1 chase a home, and build up savings accounts. There never was a bet ter time for the graduate of any school or college to get started on a job. Busines and government desperately need men who can think, who have learned how to get along with people, and who have such character traits as faith, integ rity, self-reliance, initiative, drive, and good health. But young people mpst do much better work than they are now doing in order to hold their jobs when business again de clines. However, as I said above, I am feeling more optimistic now because there is a chance that the political pendulum may be swing ing toward common sense, away from nonsense!
