b Depends On Whose
-Ox b Being Gored
Reports from Northern cities tell of
the zeal exhibited in raising funds for Dr.
Martin Luther King's civil rights demon
strations in the South, and in sending wild
eyed college students and other do-good
ers to lead them.
A great to-do is made over these Weed
ing hearts who are possessed with an abun
dant supply of the “missionary” spirit and
they are led to believe they are fashioning
a Utopia of this blighted land.
East, we have been financing war and the
violation of the rights of man."
Funds pour in to finance these demon
strations which take over the highways
and streets in Southern communities and
disrupt business and other activities for
days on end.
But there is another side of the story.
Chicago, a city which supplied thous
ands of dollars and rounded up recruits
for these Southern “enlightenment” fo
rays, is getting a dose of its own medicine.
When Dr. King and his cohorts decided
to “enlighten” Chicago, taking over streets
in The Loop (the big central business sec
tion), blocking traffic and disrupting busi
ness activities, the zeal and enthusiasm
of the natives took a perceptible nose-dive.
The contributions dropped to a trickle.
Los Angeles is another example. So
long as the demonstrations were carried on
some distance away, everything was fine
and dandy. But when they came to the lo
cal doorstep, it was another story. We saw
a cartoon out of Los Angeles the other day
that showed a bunch of Los Angeles poli
ticians shaking Dr. King’s hand and pat
ting him on the back, congratulating him
on the fine job he was doing in the South
and expectantly asking him when he was
going back.
It would be funny were it not so pa
thetic.
Meaningless Tax Cuts
Every tax reduction, of any kind, is
greeted with hosannas. The public, the
story runs, now will have more money it
can call its own, spending will be given
a new shot in the arm, and the whole
economy will benefit.
So far so good. But there is another
side to the story. And it is found in tax
increases, which generally are given much

Take, for instance, the social security
tax. Its rate, which is shared equally by
employers and employees, has increased
more than 262 per cent since 1949. And
that isn’t all. If medicare costa are added
in, the increase could be as great as 485
per cent by 1973. And there is always the
possibility that the projections will prove
too low and that still larger increases will
be found necessary.
It should be obvious that a tax cut
which is largely or wholly offset by a tax
increase is meaningless. It just puts money
in one pocket while taking it out of an
other.

Last June 30 marked the end of a two-
and-a-half-year foreign aid arrangement
between the United States and Egypt
(United Arab Republic). During this pe
riod we sent Gamul Nasser’s government
approximately $400 million in food and fi
ber commodities.
What have we received in return ?
We’re indebted to the American Security
Council for the following tabulation:
In September, 1962, Nasser launched an
attack on Yemen. His troops are still
there, 50,000 Of them, despite repeated
promises to withdraw them.
During 1963 and 1964, Nasser gave
military' support to Algeria against Moroc
co, and supplied arms to Greek Cypriots in
their war against the Turks on Cyprus.
In October, 1964, at the second conference
of the so-called non-aligned nations, in Cai
ro, Nasser led the attack on U. S. policies.
In November, 1964, following the U. S.-
Belgian rescue of helpless hostages in the
Congo, Egyptian mobs sacked and burned
the new John F. Kennedy Memorial Li
brary in Cairo. Soon thereafter, Nasser
began sending arms to Communist-led reb
els in the Congo. When the U. S. govern
ment objected, he made his famous speech
telling us to “go to helL”
Our government suspended aid to Nas
ser, temporarily, after that slap in the
face. But, on June 22, eight days ahead
of the scheduled end of the program. Presi
dent Johnson authorized shipment of the
remaining $87 million worth of aid which
had been originally allocated. This was
done, said the State Department, because
of improved relations between the U. S.
and the U. A. R. Now it has been reveal

By ROGER W. BAUSON
Babson Park, Mass., August 5.—The personal
income of the people of this country has been
skyrocketing over the past few years. Records
have been shattered time after time, and there
are no signs as yet of a reversal in direction. Re
cent figures reveal how spectacular the increase
has been over just the past twelve months.
INCOME GAINS BROADENING STEADILY
As of June of this year, personal income from
all sources advanced to a total of $524 billion,
according to estimates prepared by the U. S.
Department of Commerce. This represents a
climb of about $95 billion in the past year alone,
or a hefty rise of 7%. Of special significance is
the scope of the advances in the leading basic
sources: Wages, salaries, corporate payments,
and the farm “take.” Prices received by farm
ers for meat animals, in fact, climbed more than
30% in this past year.
It should be noted that all of the major indus
trial segments of the economy shared in the
marked upswing in wages and salaries. Part of
this rise was due to the growing number of peo
ple employed. With a combination of this em
ployment growth and gradually climbing hourly
earnings, factory payrolls in June hit a total of
$110.8 bilion, compared with only $102.7 bil
lion twelve months before.
CORPORATE DIVIDENDS
STEADILY WIDENING
Corporate dividend payments have, of course,
been on the increase for a number of years.
But there is an interesting angle here that is
not commonly emphasised. This is the tremen
dous broadening of individual stock ownership.

Atlas
The Titans, according to Greek mythology, were a
race of gods. After a 10-year war with Zeus and his
forces, the Titans were overthrown.
One of the Titans was named Atlas. Zeus declared
that Atlas’ punishment was to stand on a chain of
mountains in northwest Africa and support the heav
ens on his shoulders.
Mercator, the noted 16th century Flemish geogra
pher, was familiar with this myth. In 1578 he pub
lished a book of maps, and on the title page he used a
drawing of Atlas supporting the heavans. The pic
ture was used on the title pages of covers of other
books of maps. Eventually any book of maps was
called on “atlas.”

Rebellion has always been a
part of emotional growth. It
commences early. Pediatricians
say this becomes pointedly evi
dent at the age of two when the
child learns to say NO to every
thing he is told to do. Rebellion
grows into the teens. It is a
part of the growing-up process.
Although die teen-ager nebelx
against home authority, he ex
pects hie father and mottv^r to
exercise discipline. It gives him
a sense of security.
When his rebellion is allowed
to go unchallenged, then he geee
out and rebels against society.
Recently two young men were
executed for multiple, murders.
Tatooed on the arm of one of
them was “I hate the world/'
Dr. Lerner points to the break
down of communication between
parents and sons and daughters
on matters of importance as
more than a symptom of the gen
erational struggle
Fathers once waited up at
home for their sons to come in
at night, and the mothers did the
same for the daughters. Now,
more than often, they aren’t at
home themselves, and if they
are, they are in bed.
, Dr. Lerner writes, “Some
times I feel that the moot im
portant room in the house is the
kitchen. It is there, however late
when his adolescent sons come
home. You raid the refrigerator;
you sit down at the kitchen ta
ble; you talk, at an hour when
the mind ranges over everything
mat has happened during the
day and when conditions do not
seem misplaced.”
Communication between pa
rents and teen-agers is vital.
Trust between the two si even
more so.

We find ourselves in agreement with
Sen. Ernest Gruening, of Alaska, who said:
“Not only is our foreign aid program (to
Egypt) bolstering Communist economics
throughout the world but, by hot holding
Nasser to the limits of exports, we have
permitted him to restrict the market dis
tribution of food to the people of Egypt.
Instead of negotiating with Nasser, the
State Department has appeased him. In
stead of promoting peace in the Middle

escalation should now bring controls, it is un
likely that personal income would stop edging
upward. A solid backlog is assured from In

benefits, and well-sustained salary rates.
The President’s speech of last week should
be a help rather than a hindrance to business.
He showed the strain of his enormous burden,
but he should certainly not feel discouraged; he
is doing an excellent job at the helm. We must
remember, however, that an unexpected event
could always happen and change thnigs—either
for the better or the worse—at any time.
