COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
Something about New York, our greatest city:
“The absolute figures about New York City are fantastic.
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. It’s pretty

clear that these 35 million people are going to increase those
living in cities or on the edge of cities. 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.

Lieut. 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.

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:

courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the dif

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.*
