V I i 10 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thvndty, November S, I960 What Kennedy Has Pledged To Do I Southerners are remirxled that if John Kennedy is elected president the Democratic platform yoes with him. The South should examine carefully 10 anti-Southern points in Kennedy’s campaiim. Regardless of whatever has l>een said' in the South, just last week both Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson issued strong statements at a liberal rally in NeW York in which they pledged themselves to enacting the Demo cratic platform. Johnson has worn two faces throughout the campaign. In the South he has told peo ple he’ll look out for them, but in the North he pitches right in witlvKennedy and pledges to support the platform. Here are the, points which are regarded as against the interests of the South: 1. Kennedy’s pledge to repeal the right-to- work provision, which would deny States the right to establish their own labor policies. 2. Kennedy’s pledge to repeal the Taft- 11 art ley law. 3. Kennedy’s pledge to repeal the Li^n- drum-Griffin law. 4. Kennedy’s pledge to Walter Reuther to Keu herize the South. 4 ' ■5. Kennedy's pledge to put the federal government in control of housing. 6 Kennedy’s pledge to put the federal government in contrpl of education. 7. Kennedy’s pledge to make the federal reserve a political operation. 8. Kennedy’s agreement with the liberals to abolish the seniority system for choosing committee chairmen. 9. Kennedy’s plan for compulsory health insurance. 10. Kennedy’s radical farm plan which even Henry Wallace couldn’t stomach. Kennedy has promised, if elected, 100 days, of whirlwind legislation to drive through his anti-Southern blitz. Michigan: An Example Of Error As Americans prepare to go to the polls t«* elect a president, they should ponder the state of affairs in Michigan where a labor- ite regime has l>een in power for a decade. t’nder Governor “Soapy" Williams. Mich igan has l>e»n the exemplar of Reuther-style democracy. Everything that "liberals" want to do on the national scale has been tried out in Michigan. A soak-the-corporation attitude has prevailed in the state legislature. Pub lic welfare has been fantastically bountiful. Vast sums have been spent on all sorts of schemes. Michigan also is the state where the i**r vapita cost of supporting public employes is double what it is in nearby industrial states. Though Michigan is the home of the auto motive industry anil other great enterprises, its state government has paid no attention to si ness needs. Walter Reuther. head of the t inted Automobile Workers and the real boss of Michigan, is a ik*ctnnaire state so- iiahst who wants government to put its meddling lingers deeper and deeper into in dividual and corporate pockets. The results of this public philosophy have been what one might expect. Michigan has used up all method* of taxation and is in ter rible financial condition. Whoever is elected governor this November is faced with a trag.c situation. A decade of bad government ha* created problems that even the wisest of chief executives will require years to solve. Yet the "Soapy’’ Williams kind of govern ment i> what "lil»erals’’ want to put into practice on the national level. The gone-mad welfarism and the bureaucracy—these are the evils that are prt*eiued to the American electorate as a progressive system of gov ernment. It is important that the United States move ahead as-the “liberals" demand—but how it goes ahead is the vital question. America cannot go ahead on the Michigan plan. It cannot create prosperity by enor mous government spending and by more fed eral controls. Massive public works programs and massive spending on education will not stimulate economic development. A country gains wealth only one way. That is as many dedicated people work hard and long. In that way. and in no other way, is capital accumu lated And a rich country is by definition one that has plenty of capital to put to work. The Michigan or the Reuther theory—the theory of all "liberals"—is that prosperity comes by pump priming ami that a state or nation can enrich itself by redistribution in come by means of high taxes. This is the same silly doctrine spouted by New Deal braintrusters almost 30 years ago. Now, in 1960, after almost three decades of experience w hich shows that socialism never leads to economic well-being, thousands of bright-eyed "liberal” zealots are talking about a "New Frontier" that is simply the old and thoroughly discredited New Deal formula. If nothing else convinces Ameri cans that "New Frontier’’ state socialism spells ruin, then Michigan should convince them. That state’s chaotic finances and loss of new industrial investment are positive signs that what Walter Reuther wants is bad for America and leads to bankruptcy. This presidential election may be the last chance for the people to elect a man who wants free enterprise to continue to exist. West Point, Miss., Daily Times Leader: "As a rule of thumb, a million dollars of pri vate investment will *do more good than a million dollars of government program.” Babson Says “Watch Electronics” Babson Park. Mass . Nov When the electronics stocks were becoming popular. I was slow to discuss t^iem in thi' column Now. however. I have concluded that electronics will be the next big industry-. UTOMOBILE INVESTMENTS Forty-five years ago. nearly forty different types of automobiles wrre being adversited and said In the stock' of the companies making these forty automo biles. there was much speculation Mr. Ford’s “Tin Lizzie' 4 was the most popular, selling around S500. Ahile the mo^t expensive car was the Packard. An other popular car was the Studebaker. whose manu facturer wa' once the largest maker of wagons and carnages Both the Packard and the Studebaker since declined in production, resulting in severe re organization which affected a com bination of the two companies Another popular car of those early days was the Hudson, while the Nash also forged ahead Not withstanding intensive advertising and sales efforts, the production of these two companies also declined * #r Finally, after a reorganization these two companies were united into the preM*nt American motors Corporation Thousands of investors lost mon f> buying the stocks of these oner popular auto manu facturers American Motors, however, has since put out the Rambler and under a very able leader. Mr Romney, has been rapidly coming to the fore While the other stocks have gone down. American Motors has climbed from around 2 in 1966 57 to 20 today. HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF My reason for giving the above illustrations u to warn investors that the market for electronics stock will probably go through the same history* In other words, of the forty popular electronics stocks m which ;*i>ple are now speculating, probably over thirty will go through a severe reorganization and most of them *ill go out of business Yet the industry as a whole wi.l be a great permanent one Let me explain one reason for this last statement c Thus far. the electronics industry ha> depended very largely on defense spending Presentdfb'Jt about a reiuction of armaments gives the electronics peo ple the jitters, they wonder what they will do when. js or if there comes a reasonable peace ’Hus must v ’me about some dav, or else we will all go broke from armament expenditures or Morld War HI Elec- traDivs automation is inevitable; but it must come Jowly It is very expensive for private manufartur ers to change their plants over to electronic automa tion THE ELECTRONIC EXPERIMENTS AT THE PROVIDENCE RHODE ISLAND POET OFFICE MAY HOLD THE ANSWER THE GOVERNMENT.

ETC WHAT LS THE MIRACLE? Some post offices are now using electronic ‘shak mg” machines to sort letters and drop them into the proper slots for 300 cities; but the reading of hand writing electronically is just being developed and this is what I call the miracle of the industry It is technically known as ‘ scanning." The scanning ma chine will first be used in the Oakland, California, post office, and then in Detroit "Scanning’’ should keep down the postage rate, which w ill interest every reader of this column The concern which is ge’ting the most publicity on thi> scanner is Farrington Manufacturing Company of Needham, Mass. Its main competitors in postal equipment include International Telephone & Tele graph (which built the Providence. R I., post office). International Busines Machines, Chance Vought. Pit- ney-Bowes, Food Machinery & Chemical (now build ing the Oakland plant), Emerson Radio, Sperry Rand, and Western Union Many others will enter the field In -ome cases the stocks will triple in price, but in many cases the companies will go into bankruptcy However, I now say: "Watch Electronics " News of Hurricane Section [ y Mrs Pearl Smith has returnee home after a month's stay with with Mr .and Mrs. J. 0.
