Consider this, with the name of the State omitted: “100% financing for your new plant. Complete financing for Lease-Purchase of a new plant is available in labor-surplus areas through combined ef forts of lending institutions, non-profit community organi zations and our State Industrial Development Authority. Interest as low as 2 % , with deferred amortization, can be applied on up to one-half of total plant cost. 100%; financing is also available in other areas of the State, provided by community organizations, banks, insur ance companies and other sources. You select the community you want. You specify plant construction details or choose one of several plant ‘shells’ now being readied for comple tion. 100 %> Financing at a glance . . . Industrial Plant Con struction Costs—. Subscribed by local non-profit community sponsored builder-owner corporations. — 20% 2nd Mortgage Loan, Industrial Development Authority— 30%. 1st Mortgage Loan obtained from banks, insurance com panies and similar lending institutions—50% . Total financing, secured through local subscriptions and mortgage loans, without cash investment by the manufac turer—100%;.” Shall we have a new political party, a third party? That is being much discussed. It might be helpful to think to gether. Where are we? We who supported Mr. Eisenhower are most grievously disappointed. We agree on that, don’t we? The Republi cans are making capital out of the Integration issue be cause they think they will attract the Colored vote of the congested cities. Now where are the Democrats? Verily, verily there is no balm in Gilead, for our Democratic brethren of the North are either endorsing the action of the Supreme' Court or condemning President Eisenhower for being too slow, too soft. Such great ami noble figures as Harry Truman and Queen Eleanor are trying to hold fast to the Colored vote. To them there is no Constitutional quest ion or problem: it is v holly a matter of votes. I ’resident Eisenhower is strong tor the ('onstitutim and States Rights when making speeches, but he doesn't reeoe ui/e either tin' Constitution or States bights m mtion. So where are we?

The states created the federal government. The creation should not supersede the creator. For if the states lose their meaning the entire system of government loses its meaning and the next step is the rise of the central ized national state in which the seeds of autocracy can take root and grow.’ July 17, 1957, T can’t imagine any set of circumstances that would ever induce me to send federal troops into a fed eral court, and into any area to enforce theorders of a fed eral court, because I believe that common sense of America will never require it. Now, there may be that kind of auth ority resting somewhere, but certkinly I am not seeking any additional authority of that kind, and I would never be lieve it would be a wise thing to do in this country.’ September 11, 1957, ‘In a place of general disorder the federal government is not allowed to go into any state unless called upon by the governor . . . That is the thing that keeps the federal government from just going where it pleases to carry out police duties’.” (Beaufort Gazette). “LAW VIOLATION CHARGED TO EISENHOWER Chapter and verse out of the Constitution and the code of federal statutes now have been furnished in a public speech by Sen. Willis A. Robertson of Virginia who declares flatly that President Eisenhower violated ‘The law of the land’ when he sent federal troops into Arkansas. Mr. Robertson is an experienced legislator and, as chair man of the Senate’s Banking and Currency Committee, he has earned the respect of the nation’s leading businessmen. il<' has lately had a staff of legal experts at work examining all the federal statutes involved in the Arkansas affair and (alines to the conclusion concerning the specific federal laws i hat were disregarded by the federal government at Little Rock. Mr. Rnhertson quotes from explicit promises and pledges given by the Attorney General to Congress last spring that federal troops would not be used to enforce civil rights.

Al ready over-spending within the Government has cancelled out the $2 billion budget reductions made by the first session of the 85th Congress and has pushed the total spending well over $72 billions. Over-spending is due first, to inflationary prices which affect the government as much as it does every private citizen. Estimates made for government costs .last January no longer hold good, and the administration’s hard money policy is also coming home to roost at the Treasury Department, since the increase in interest rates has driven the cost of interest on the Federal debt to $501 million more than the January estimate. As of today the annual bill for interest alone on the national debt is $1.7 billion a year more than it was 4% years ago. Biggest single increase however is in Department of Agriculture spend ing, which is running $739 billion over the January estimates, which by the way is not reflected in farm income since it is consider ably larger than the increase if any, in farm income since last year. Drastic cut-backs in defense spending particularly in missile work and research, in nuclear air plane research, and in other seg ments of the national defense has failed to halt the over-spending, which is steadily forcing the na tional debt toward the legal limit. And today, since the launching of the Soviet satellite, the success ful launching of Soviet Intercon tinental missiles, there is a scram ble to get back on the beam for a “crash program" on the U. S. baa- ic missile and rocket program, and project Vanguard which is the U. S. Satellite program. In terms of today’s advantages, a Satellite spinning around the earth may not mean much to the average tax payer. Even President Eisenhower in bis news conference said in ef fect he couldn't get excited about it But the missile experts and the rocket experts and the atomic bomb and H-bomb experts know that to launch a satellite 500 miles into space you must have a mis sile that will do the job and that missile might just as well have an H-bomb as its head, aa an 1S.4 pound satellite. And it might be aimed at Washington, New York or San Francisco easier than into the stratosphere. Sc it appears that finally some of the complacency has been shaken out of the Penta gon. The point is that this will mean increased spending, but spending on National Safety. As an example the fiscal ex perts point out that the $1.7 bil lion, which may soon $2 billion spent just to inc in terest rates to make in. ed profits for money lenders ano in vestment firms during a period of inflation, might much better be spent in the interest of national defense for all the people. And as a matter of fact these same ex perts recall that It took only $2 billions to develop the atomic bomb by the old Manhattan Proj ect And many top flight men and women in this country and other friendly nations say our leader ship in the atomic bomb field has meant the difference between war and peace during these past ten years. So watch for new. emphasis on the Vanguard project and in guided missiles from now on and during the next session of the Con* gress starting in January. SHIPS GALORE . « .

C.: People may get the idea that retailers are not deeply concerned with price inflation— on the theory that all any retailer has to do when costs go up is to add some more pennies or dollars to his price tags and let the con sumer like it or lump it That idea is 100 per cent Wrong. As editor Godfrey M. labhar at Chain Stare Age writes, “No fac tor which retailers consider in planning* for toe future jean be ■acre important t***” the pur chasing power of the dollar. It affects not only their own capital expenditures but more important ly tt affects their sales prospsete.” As an example at too, last he cites toe many consumers who ttas on fixed incomes sr whose buying power falls for some reason to keep pace with rising prlesa. Whan prices go up, these' people are forced to curtail their purchasing. There is another Wig factor here too. Human nature being what it is, we often tend to blame the re tailer for price increases. He is the man we deal with when we do our shopping, and he becomes toe soApegoat whan we are displeased. The truth is that retailers them selves can do little about inflation. Current studies — including one from toe Labor Department—tati- mate or indicate that wage increases have been main ly at fault, and retailers have no control over those. But retailers —like all toe rest of us—are deeply concerned, and would like nothing better than price stability. • • • it It is possible far statistics to be factual ly correct and 'misleading at one and the same time. The retail in dustry has become an importaad ease in point Various studies shear marked differences ta wages be tween different kinds of retafll stores and that has led some peo ple to believe that something must be drastically wrong and ta need of legislative correction. Actually, these differences are based on sound and traditional eco nomic characteristics. The marty different kinds of retail storca re quire employees with very differ-' ent kinds and degrees of export* ence and skill. For example. It takes a first-class salesman to ehlK' expensive automobiles, furs, furab tore and other such merchsndfoof But tt takes virtuatty no skill «» perience to seQ inexpensive tlons.

Despite the fact national production Is up, labor layoffs are frequent In some industries, notably aircraft, automobilta, other defense industries and ta household applianeea. The Air Force cancelled numerous contracts, most notable was with North American Aviation Navaho guided missile project where 19,900 were employed.
