Not just the size of the population—some eight million peo ple living in the city, and then the growing suburbs which are becoming more and more part and parcel of the life of this great metropolitan area, but look at some of the statis tics. In manufacturing it is the biggest and most diverse man ufacturing community in the nation. Some 40,000 firms en gage in manufacturing, employing substantially a million people in the city, alone; not speaking of the metropolitan area. Now, 40 per cent of the country’s water-borne foreign trade in dollar value passes through the Port of New York. All are familiar with the fact that there are great advan tages here, not only in the physical advantages of the Port, but the facilities that have attracted the liner traffic of the world. That is concentrated here and represents the big volume of general cargo. It is true that other communi ties have developed specialized traffic, and I don’t think this city need be afraid of the development of the Saint Lawrence seaway. This is the biggest wholesale center in the United States, and 1000 new additional wholesale firms have come to New York, or started in New York, since the war. It is the larg est mass market and luxury market; some $10 million. I be lieve, in retail sales. This is the nation’s style and fashion center, and, of course, the financial capital of the Nation, as well as the cultural. This is the mecca of tourists. This is the No. 1 spot where visitors wish to come, see, enjoy, and learn, and profit by the association with the people who live and work in New York. This has given a huge lead, and yet the continued growth is amazing. New York city has added a half milliop to its population since 1940, and there is an additional million in the suburbs. This is the place where ambitious and talented young men and women from all over the Nation, in fact, from many parts of the world, too, have come to test their abilities against the stiffest competition that can be found anywhere, and that is in all forms of human activity, whe ther it be business or cultural or otherwise. That makes this city a dynamic center in leadership and young in spirit. They provide good reason for optimism. There are great opportunities for small business in New York City alone. A small firm can start on a shoestring in rented quarters in perhaps one of the city’s 12,000 loft build ings, and these loft buildings are growing. It is interesting to note that there is keen competition today for that loft space. In New York City alone small firms have become big. In 1953 there were 167 manufacturing firms in this city which employed over 500 people, two and a half times the number there were in 1937. Of course, 99 grew into large business right here in. our city. Ocassionally one of these firms outgrows the limited quarters that it can find within the city and moves out. While manufacturing is now growing more rapidly in the suburbs and in other parts of the nation than in .New York City, the field of manufacturing service is/remaking the heart of Manhattan. On this island alone 71 new office build ings have been erected since the war and are under con struction, and it has been estimated that 25 per cent has been added to office space in a single decade. The figures for Manhattan are something like 11 million rentable square feet built since 1947 and something approaching between 8 and 9 million more are under construction. This is rentable space. It is said that office space added in New York city and in the process of construction since the war is more than all of the comparable building space in the City of Chicago. Office space is not for pleasure; it’s for business, and it indicates a vitality in the business community of the city and an indication that people want to come to New York to do business, and when they come here, their busi ness expands. Of the hundred largest firms, ninety of them have their offices in New York City. What are the reasons for this vitality? There are certainly many of them. Every sort of business service in New York—there are specialists and experts in all fields of business activity. There are experts to advise experts. There are over 300 research laboratories that are trying to solve the problems of production and distribution. All of these advantages brings business to New York. These, plus the fact that New York is the cen ter of communication and transport and the center of cap ital, distribution and culture and entertainment, and the intangible of prestige, the prestige of being a New York City firm. There has been a lot of talk about congestion. This con gestion is caused by competition to get into the heart of New York. It is estimated that in the next 15 years there will be 35 million people added to New York’s population.

The farm population has been going down for the last 40 years, and particularly in the last 15 years. Productivity on the farms, has been very startling. So that this 35 million will be living, a very considerable percentage of them, in our cities. »» I have read with special interest “The Story of South Carolina’s Senior Bank,” this being the history of The Bank of Charleston, mother bank of the great banking chain known as The South Carolina National Bank. “The 'Story” is carried in a very handsome book and is a fine piece of work by Samuel G. Stoney, the well known man of letters of Charleston. The great Bank, now operating through 23 branches in 16 cities, is a tower of strength for the betterment of South Carolina. As a citizen of the state I hold in admira tion the management of this great banking institution; and peronally I am honored by the friendship of % many who give their talents so ably to serve our economy. This great bank was organized to fill the place of the Charleston branch of the Bank of the United States when Andrew Jackson resolved to crush the Bank of the United States. So this interesting story carries us far back to an entirely different era. One factor of pre-eminent importance in any Bank i the character of the management. Here we see character, pre eminent ability, vision and firm grasp of all the realities and the opportunities. I offer my hearty congratulatons to the Chairman, Mr. B. M. Edwards; to the President, Mr. John A. Campbell, Jr.; to the Directors and all their asso ciates, not forgetting Mr. Stoney, of course, Mr. Julian Mitchell and Mr. Horace H. McGee. LAFF OF THE WEEK “A scientist’s sneeze recently cost a small industrial laboratory one wee’-e work, a new tile and a paint job. The reason: The chemist was pouring a radioactive pow der into a liquid. When he sneezed, he spilled it. Repeated scrubbings failed to clean up the radioactive mess, so a new floor and a fresh paint job were ordered. This is a small example of the extreme care with which workers in nuclear laboratories and industrial plants must handle the ‘hot’ material involved in their jobs. The difif- culties are equally great in disposing of the atomic ‘trash’ that’s left over when a nuclear reaction takes place. Safe disposal means keeping such refuse away from humans so long as the wastes are hazardous. That’s a large order with something like plutonium, which loses only half its radio- T HERE is little doubt but that the leadership of the Demo cratic party as exemplified by its leadership in the Senate of the United States has turned ultra-con servative. Over in the House. Speaker Sam Rayburn, the Texas veteran, has sought by every political and parlia mentarian maneuver of which he is a past master, and his belief in a liberal Democratic party to carry through a program upon Which Democrats could make a campaign in 1956. He has been under-cut how ever, by the same type of ultra-con servative thinkers in the House that control the Senate. The result is that there are some here in Washington and elsewhere in the country who have the inter est of a two-party system at heart, who are wondering if the Demo cratic party can afford this type of leadership and remain an entity. The only compensation to which these Democrats can see, is that the Republican party is plagued with the same type of leadership . * . a sort of split personality. Almost overnight Senator Walter George, of Georgia, has become a “great statesman* ’ as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee. He is asked for his opinions on foreign affairs as often as is the Secretary of State, or even the President. The Republicans have made Senator George a statesman. It is a repeat story of the states manship of the, late Senator Van denburg In the 80th Congress. In that Congress, it was the Democrats who made Senator Vandenburg a statesman as leader of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Prior to that, Senator Y ftndenbur 8 had bucked the Foreign Relations Pro gram as.an isolationist, just as Sen ator George in the past has opposed < almost everything New DeaL Senator George if aided and abetted by a hard core of southern Senators who hold important com mittee assignments because of their seniority. These include Senators Byrd, of Virginia; Daniel, of Texas; Eastland, Miss.; Holland, Florida; Johnson, South Carolina; Robert son, Virginia; Stennis, Mississippi; Thurmond, South Carolina and Mc Clellan, Arkansas. Their counterparts in the House include such Congressmen as Vin son, of Georgia; Barden, North Carolina; Richards, South Carolina; Smith, Virginia; Bonner, of North Carolina; Boykin, Alabama, and some others. These men, who are making the Democratic record in this Congress, are just about as far in their think ing from such Democrats as Hum phrey, of Minnesota; Clements, Kentucky; Gore, of Tennessee; Hill, abama; Jackson, of Washington; hman, of New York; Monroney, Oklahoma; Neeley, West Virginia; Symington, Missouri; McNamara, Michigan, and Neuberger, of Washington, as the most stand-pat Republicans in the Senate. The record books show that the Democratic party has never won a Presidential election with a con servative leadership. It has won its elections as the liberal party of the nation. Further, the record books show that when the Democrats have won a Presidential election, with one exception, it would, have won anyway, without the vote of the solid south.

Adam Muckenfuss was on duty at Fort Benning, Gx, when a forest wildfire ravaged his woodlands in Dorchester County, S. G Here the lieutenant and his wife inspect a fire-killed tree. Thousands of pine seedlings were destroyed and hundreds of larger trees were damaged or killed, forcing the owner to cut his timber to avert further loss from insects. Trees like the one in the picture Lieut. Muckenfuss planned to use for timber in a new home. CARNECHB D A. ELEVEN, 8036 So. Racine Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, says he • once had, many fears of all kinds but he was always able to drown them even though it took at least a quart of whiskey a day to accom plish He went to see a doctor who said at tba rate he was going he might live a year. Hien came his greatest fear: the fear of forever being a slave to alcohol, the fear of ending in a drunkard's grave, the fear of being locked doors of a mental institution, with a wet brain* or behind bars with a murder charge as the result of drunken driving. One night soon after this realization God must have extended a helping hand, for two people from Alcoholics Anonymous came to eee him. He ad mitted he was powerless over alcohol and that his life had become unmanageable, but after a convinc ing talk by his callers he placed his faith In Alcoholics Anonymous and soon he made a decision to turn his will and his life over to God's care. As he understands Him, he accepted the help extended him and believed all he w4s told. His faith grew and grew and fear disappeared. He learned to live twenty-four hours at a time. Yesterday gone, tomorrow not yet here, today he lives the best he can. As a result of all this, he has faith, hope, love and most of all, peace of mind. Faith in Alcoholics Anonymous taught him to have faith in himself, in his fellow men and above all in God who is always with us. t Every day he uses this prayer: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the dif ference. activity in 25,000 years—four times the length of recor ded history. Most engineers believe dumping waste into the ocean, even after mixing with concrete, will not be a good dis posal method for the long run. One scientist notes the oceans are not big enough to dilute adequately all the wastes that will be produced in the atomic future. W. A. Rodger of Argonne National Laboratory calculates the strontium 90 produced in the next 50 years alone would be enough to contaminate 5 per cent of all the water in the oceans.* L Succinct mesas (a) 2.
