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! A recent survey of
125 companies reveals they will
offer beginning engineers salapifcs
ranging from $225 to $500. Mhnu-
facturing companies expect to \hire

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!
Spartanburg Exposition
In Full Swing This Week
With final plans completed, one
of the most unusual and exciting
expositions of its kind got under
way here Monday when the Great
er Spartanburg Industrial Exposi
tion opened at the Spartanburg
Memorial auditorium. General

According to Chairman Vaughan
more than 40 industrial and as
sociated service organizations have
contracted for booth space and
have joined the Greater Spartan
burg industry in presenting the
Piedmont industrial parade. Each
exhibitor will have on display
products manufactured or process
ed here and will show how these
products are made.
The gala exposition opened with
appropriate ceremonies at Mem

o’clock. It will run through the
entire week closing Saturday

noon and close nightly at 10 p. m.
There will be no admission

and see the industrial progress of f
the Piedmont on parade. :
The novel event will be staged

ample room for their exhibit. This
will be the first major exhibit for
Spartanburg’s new $1,250,000 audi
