This is the new Smith-Corona 250.
It's quite a typewriter. It may very well
change your ideas about office type-
writers. It's a full-featured office elec-
tric priced like a manual-about half
the price of conventional electrics.
How can it be priced so low? Engi-

12 carbons, more than most typewrit-

more bonuses than typewriters costing
twice as much .. a unique half-space
key for spacing in corrections, elec-
tric back space and 5 electric repeat

The more profits, the more jobs
More than 1,250,000 additional people want jobs every year.
In manufacturing, $20,000 investment is needed to tool up for
each new job. That $20,000 cannot be raised out of depre-
ciation allowances-it has to come out of profits after taxes.
Depreciation allowances only provide part of what is
needed to keep tools modern for present workers. So to tool
up for every new worker and his job, companies must
make more profit-$20,000 more for every new worker you
want a company to employ.
Yes, profits make jobs, and more profits are necessary for
the more jobs America must supply.

 Fleet Buyers :
Here are 7
reasons why
Fords give
you more for
the money
to fit every fleet need. Ford offers a total of 51 models, including sedans, hardtops and wagons.
Fords, middleweight Fairlanes, compact Falcons, and for special prestige, the fabulous Thunderbird.
2. Thunderbird Styling! Thunderbird styling
is yours throughout the entire Ford line-plus
Thunderbird's style of engineering! This year,
the '63 Ford has the look, the power, even the
feel of the Thunderbird. This trend-setting styl-
ing pays off in added company prestige and
increased employee morale.
5. Twice-a-Year or 6,000-Mile Service! One
stop twice a year or every 6,000 miles will
normally take care of everything! All of the
'63 Fords (except Falcon Station Bus and
Club Wagons) go 36,000 miles between major
chassis lubrications and 6,000 miles between
minor lobes.
3. More Savings! Ford's traditionally low
purchase price is just the beginning of your
savings-because you keep on saving with
twice-a-year or 6,000-mile service intervals and
loss maintenance. For the biggest money savings
of all, see the '63 Falcon, America's all-time
economy champ.
6. Improved Quality! A $100 million Quality
Assurance Program has enabled Ford to extend
the warranty on these cars to cover the first
24,000 miles or 24 months of ownership', proof
that Fords are built to stand up under thousands
of extra miles of the toughest kind of wear-and-
tear driving!
For further details, see your Ford Dealer or write: Fleet Sales Manager,
Ford Motor Company, 2750 W. Fort Street, Detroit 16, Michigan.
*Ford Motor Company warrants to its dealers, and its dealers, in turn, warrant to owners as follows: That
for 24 months or for 24,000 miles (6 months or 6,000 miles on 427-cu. in. high-performance V-8 engines
and related power train components), whichever comes first, free replacement, including related labor,
will be made by dealers of any part with a defect in workmanship or materials. Tires are not covered
by the warranty; appropriate adjustments will be made by tire companies. Owners will remain responsible
for normal maintenance services, routine replacement of parts, such as filters, spark plugs, ignition points,
wiper blades, brake or clutch linings, and normal deterioration of soft
trim and appearance items. PRODUCTS OF Cf.(11~Q~ MOTOR COMPANY
4. New Durability! The '63 Fords are rugged-
they're the best built Fords in history! There's
greater strength and durability, thanks to top-
quality construction throughout. Hoods, doors
and deck lids fit to more rattle-free tolerances
even carpets are tougher, longer lasting!
And, mufflers are fully aluminized for long life.
7. Better Trade-in Value! It stands to reason
that these Fords, engineered to deliver so much
rugged dependability, will still have plenty of
life left in them when it comes time to trade.
This means that you can expect a higher resale
value than ever before ... another saving grace
from Ford!

the essence of national growth and national survival

Who cares about Profits?

His concern is obvious. Only hope of
reward entices his dollars from safe,

The government employee?

from taxes on profits of corporations

When you come to that management decision on
locating a plant, there is a sound reason for you
to remember this big "A" for Allegheny Power.
Why? Because this company, covering a five-
state area, is big enough to know a vast region as
only an electric utility can know it. With no bias for a
single town or state, Allegheny offers impartial facts to in-
dustry. Search for the right location for your firm extends
far and wide to match your needs in materials, markets,
labor, tax structure and transportation.
The map shows the five-state region in the center of
America's markets ... in the center of materials for industry.
The area has skilled labor, and training pro-
grams for special skills. There is ample water for
processing now ... and in 1980 or even 2000.
The big "A" is also a symbol of a vital point:
objective accuracy of plant location data from
Allegheny Power is backed by all the integrity of this
major electric utility. If your firm has an expanding future,
it may be here in this key area of America, with all its
materials, its manpower and markets.

President's Council of Economic Advis-
ers.
Kermit Gordon, former member of the
Council who took over in January as the
new Director of the Budget.
As members of the Council, the two
men helped write a report last year on
which the Administration's tax and budg-
et policies are based. A report on these
policies appears on page 32. Mr. Heller
and Mr. Gordon were first to testify
when the joint Economic Committee of
Congress began a study of the tax-cut
proposals.
Mr. Gordon, a 46-year-old former eco-
nomics professor at Williams College,
told the Committee that a balanced
budget now would lead to a general eco-
nomic decline, bigger deficits later.
An increase in taxes to balance the
1964 budget, he said, "would ... depress
production, employment and purchasing
power. . . ." And a cut in spending, he
said, would "tend to produce a sharp de-
cline in gross national product which
might even get as high as 50 or 60 bil-
lion dollars a year. . . .
Either way, Mr. Gordon said, unem-
ployment would increase-probably to as
much as "10 per cent of the labor force."
Mr. Gordon's testimony outraged Sen-
ator Harry F. Byrd (Dem.), of Virginia,
chairman of the Senate Finance Com-
mittee. He called for the removal of Mr.
Gordon. "A man who thinks a balanced
budget would be a catastrophe does not
have the frame of mind to direct the
budget of the United States Govern-
ment," Senator Byrd said.
Mr. Heller said the key to faster eco-
nomic growth lay in "a sustained rise in
demand." The tax cuts, he said, would
do this by putting 8 billion dollars per
year back into the disposable income of
individuals. By 1965 or 1966, he said,
the increased consumer spending would
add several times 8 billion to the gross
national product.
Cuts in U. S. spending, however, would
wipe out the effect of the tax reductions,
Mr. Heller declared. "A deficit is an in-
evitable part of the stimulus," he said.

Dean Harlan McClure of Clemson's school of architecture talks with Harvey Gantt
A NEW SEMESTER-A
In South Carolina, the last holdout
against court-enforced school integration,
a Negro has been admitted to Clemson
College. He is 20-year-old Harvey Gantt
of Charleston, who won a court order
for his admission.
Mr. Gantt registered on January 28.
Heavy precautions had been taken by
State officials against disorders and vio-
lence. But the event was accepted calmly
by the students, and the State. And in
the spotlight of national attention that
turned on Mr. Gantt, he was revealed as
a tall, serious young man, intent on get-
ting an education.
Son of a civilian mechanic at the
Charleston Navy Yard, young Gantt was
NEW NEGRO STUDENT
raised in a religious home. He is active
in church work, as are both his parents.
He graduated from high school with
honors, was a star athlete, a competent
musician. In two years at Iowa State
University, before quitting to attempt
to enter Clemson, he had a B average.
Mr. Gantt has been active in the Na-
tional Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, but he is not regarded
as a zealot. His decision to seek admis-
sion to Clemson was a personal one.
"I am happy," he told newsmen, "to
know that this is going to give other
Negroes an opportunity to go to Clem-
son. But my main purpose here is to get
an education."
In Mississippi, James H. Meredith de-
cided to stick it out for another semester
at the State university.
The 29-year-old crusader for civil
rights is the only Negro attending a pub-
lic school for white persons in Missis-
sippi. He was enrolled last September un-
der court order, and to the accompani-
ment of rioting. For four months, U. S.
marshals and soldiers have guarded him
on the campus. More than 300 troops are
still stationed there. Officials estimated it
costs the Government $4,500 a day to
keep him in school.
Mr. Meredith, shunned by most stu-
dents, harassed by some, said early in
January he might quit. And there were
reports that he was in scholastic trouble.
On January 30, he told a news con-
ference he would return to "Ole Miss."
"I see signs," he said, "that give me
hope. . . ... Also, his grades were appar-
ently adequate for readmission. Next
day, he registered without incident.

The Shah of Iran
"LEGAL REVOLUTION"
Voters Support Iran's Shah
Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi of Iran
is a new kind of royal politician. He out-
promises his political opponents and
beats them at the ballot box.
On January 26. peasants, workers and
women turned out in droves to endorse
the Shah's program of "legal revolution."
The program calls for breaking up feudal
estates ; an end to serfdom ; profit
sharing by industry; a vast educational
program, and new electoral laws.
Landowners, businessmen, some Mos-
lem religious leaders, and politicians of
the National Front called for a boycott
of the referendum. There were some riots,
some arrests. But the boycott failed. Al-
most 5.6 million Iranians voted for the
program, fewer than 5,000 against it.
The Shah came to power in 1941, when
Britain and Russia occupied Iran, forced
his pro-German father to abdicate. He
has survived an assassination attempt, a
coup by nationalist Mohammed Mossa-
degh, and constant Soviet pressure.
Many of the key reforms had already
been decreed, were theoretically in effect.
The Shah himself had given away most
of his land to peasants, endowed a foun-
mecicine and food. Communist fighters
are defecting at the rate of 50 a week.
? The Diem Government now controls
51 our cent of the population, compared
with no more than 30 per cent at one
time. Some river routes closed for years
by the Communists now are being kept
open, and Vietnamese rice exports are on
the rise.
The 60-year-old naval officer has corn-
manded U. S. forces in the Pacific since
1958. He is the man in over-all charge
of U. S. military efforts in Southeast
Asia. There still are serious problems in
Vietnam, he said. But his was the most
optimistic official report from there Amer-
icans had heard in some time.

ress had been snail-slow.
The referendum clearly has given the

SPLIT IN FEDERAL AGENCY
Power Commissioner Leaving
Howard Morgan has asked President
Kennedy not to reappoint him to the
Federal Power Commission. Reason: Mr.
Morgan, a former Oregon public-utilities
regulator, finds himself too often at odds
with a majority of his fellow commis-
sioners,
Mr. Morgan was named to the Com-
mission in 1961 for a term that expires
next June 22. He has frequently dissented
from FPC rulings, and his opinions in
those cases indicated he did not think
consumers were getting enough protec-
tion from the FPC.
In his letter to the President, Mr. Mor-
gan voiced some sharp criticism of the
FPC-and regulatory agencies generally.
Ile warned that only men of courage,
character and broad vision should be
named to such agencies.
"Ordinary men cannot administer
'hose laws today in the face of pressures
generated by huge industries," Mr. Mor-
gan said. "Utility regulation ceases to be
or never becomes a protection to the
,onsuming public. Instead it can easily
become a fraud upon the public and a
protective shield behind which monopoly
may operate to the public detriment."
FPC Chairman Joseph C. Swidler de-
fended the Commission, said it had been
.,more active and worked more for the
public benefit in the last year and a half
. . . than any FPC in history."

world power politics than face his real
troubles at home.
When experts are fired. Indonesia
is deep in economic troubles, largely be-
cause of mismanagement-or no man-
agement.
Oil, normally the No. 2 export item, is
doing well in the hands of British, Dutch
and U. S. producers and marketers. Hub-
bcr, though still No. I export of Indone-
sia, is falling off fast, like tin. Dutch
technicians were ousted long ago and
Indonesian administrators failed to
maintain rubber plantations or tin dredg-
ems. Al] through the Indonesian economy
there is a pattern of mismanagement,
inefficiency and inexperience.
Sukarno's Indonesia owes the Soviet
Union about 1 billion dollars-mainly
for arms. Even the arms-happy Sukarno
is worried about this one-sided bill and
has shown signs of cutting down on arms
buying. The combined debts of hnlo-
uesia to Western nations may total an-
other billion dollars. Funding of these
debts now cats up nearly one quarter
of Indonesia's annual earnings of for-
eign exchange.
Inside Indonesia, and particularly on
Java, Sukarno's personal prestige and
popularity with the masses remain high.
At 61 the President still is a spellbinder,
capable of swaying great crowds as the
self-styled "Bung (Brother) Karoo,
Tongue of the Indonesian People."
Again and again in crises past he has
told his people, "We don't care about in-

 BFG to the rescue
when rubber throats
choked up
That sea-going tanker gulps its 41/4-million-gallon
cargo through rubber hose. The hose is so big and
so much of it is used, the tanker can be fully loaded
in less than a day. But with the hose previously
used there were problems.
The hose strangled on some of the stuff it had to
handle. Benzene and toluene, for example. These
petrochemicals attacked the inside of the hose.
They made the rubber swell and blister, then buckle
and crack. Before long, the hose had to be replaced.
Then BFG engineers went to work on the problem.
They analyzed and evaluated scores of ingredients,
experimented with many rubber compounds, and
made dozens of tests. The outcome? An entirely
new compound forthe hose lining. But BFG product
improvement didn't stop there. The rest of the hose
was redesigned, too. Using nylon cord instead of
stiff fabric made the hose stronger, yet about 20Jo
lighter and noticeably more flexible. The big ques-
tion: How would the hose react in service?
No sore throat was the verdict. The improved
B.F.Goodrich hose has been at work on the Gulf Oil
Corporation's docks at Port Arthur, Texas, for two
years without showing any sign of failure from
the corrosive petrochemicals.
Today, B.F.Goodrich makes hose to carry just
about anything. Fact is, we make more hose and
more different kinds of hose than anybody else.
And, as in the case of Gulf, when a customer needs
a special hose to solve a problem, we go all out to
develop one that'll do the job.

>11 Looks like a bad winter for people with "grand designs."
President de Gaulle has blocked--possibly wrecked--President Kennedy's
"grand design" for an Atlantic community with U.S. in the driver's seat.
Simultaneously, De Gaulle knocked galley-west Prime Minister Macmillan's
"grand design" to make Britain a major power on the continent of Europe.
>> Then, while all this was going on in the West--
Khrushchev's "grand design" of a Communist empire, with himself in charge,
fell apart when Mao Tse-tung refused to take any more orders from Moscow.
Castro, in addition, shows signs of bucking Khrushchev's "grand design."
Castro wants to launch one of his own for the conquest of Latin America.
> > Sukarno is another with big ideas. His latest "grand design" (see page 46)
threatens islands and sea lanes vital to the Philippines and Southeast Asia.
Nehru is in the market for a new "grand design." His old one--a neutralist
bloc headed by himself--collapsed when Red China swept into India.
Nasser has revived his "grand design" of an Arab empire. But this time he
is moving cautiously, sending troops into Yemen first, maybe Saudi Arabia later.
Nkrumah of Ghana is not to be overlooked, either. His ambitions appear to
involve a very large chunk of Africa, with himself at the controls.
>> It's doubtful how far the minor-league "grand designs" will get. Big
powers, if they will, can upset the plans of a Castro or a Sukarno.
De Gaulle is something else again. He plays in the major leagues. Critics
can't see how Europe can go it alone without U.S. to defend it, as De Gaulle's
"grand design" implies, but many Europeans are willing to overlook this point.
Vision of a Europe for Europeans--free of U.S. leadership, with American
investment and influence sharply reduced--has its appeal in Europe. It may be
De Gaulle has chosen just the right psychological moment for an anti-U.S. move.
>> For example: The Paris weekly "Express," often critical of De Gaulle, on
January 31 asked if it wasn't about time U.S. got out of Europe.
Here's the way "Express" reasons: "Times have changed. Now it is not so
much the Communists, but first of all, and much more strongly, the big bankers
who are indignant about American investments in Europe... Since the Cuban affair
...the Americans and the Russians have understood that nothing... is more
important than to avoid nuclear war.... Today the great alliance...is that of
Moscow and Washington, to impose atomic peace on the world. They can only do it
together, keeping for themselves the power of decision...."

In other words: De Gaulle is justified in opposing U.S. in Europe if U.S.
and Russia are about to make the big decisions for the world, including Europe.
> > A De Gaulle-Khrushchevv "deal," then? It's just a rumor, that's all.
Actually, what De Gaulle is busy doing now is making preliminary moves to
pull the countries of Western Europe closer together--with Paris as the hub.
Overtures have gone from Paris to detach Denmark and Austria from Britain's
trade group, the "Outer Seven." These overtures are on the economic front.
On the military front, De Gaulle is sending a mission to Franco's Spain.
The reason: De Gaulle regards Spain as "Europe's rear guard," therefore to be
tied into De Gaulle's concept of European defense. So, high-ranking officers
from Paris are going to Madrid to plan co-operation with Franco's armed forces.
Timing of this French mission can be expensive for U.S. It is just about
to renegotiate agreements with Franco for U.S. bases in Spain. Franco may be
encouraged by De Gaulle's sudden interest in Spain to raise the ante for U.S.
Probably this wouldn't bother De Gaulle. He has begun work on his plan to
push U.S. out of the Continent, make it a Europe for Europeans only.
> > The Congo is relatively quiet. Now trouble is brewing elsewhere in Africa.
Battle lines are being drawn between black-controlled Northern Rhodesia and
white-controlled Southern Rhodesia. Britain is giving up its attempt to tie
them together. As a result, the remaining white governments in Africa will tend
to close ranks against a rising tide of African nationalism moving south.
A white alliance is talked of. Likely members: South Africa, Portuguese
Angola and Mozambique, plus Southern Rhodesia.
By cable from Salisbury: "White attitudes are hardening all along the line.
Blacks north of the line have the support of most of Africa, plus that of U.N.,
maybe U.S. as well. The pressure on white-run southern Africa is mounting."
>31 At the United Nations, diplomats got a sample of what is to be expected
from De Gaulle's France from now on out. De Gaulle dropped a monkey wrench into
the machinery by which the U.N. hoped to pay for its armies abroad.
U.N. bonds, you remember, were issued to pay the costs of keeping U.N.
forces in the Congo and in the Mideast. U.N. members would be billed for a fair
share of principal and interest on these bonds. But....
De Gaulle refused to pay the French share. Only $300,000 was involved, out
of more than 5 million dollars, for the French share of U.N. costs. French
argument is that France doesn't think a U.N. Army should be in the Congo and
therefore won't pay. Russia, others are likely to follow De Gaulle's lead.
Who then will back up U.N. bonds? U.S. has done most of it so far.
>> U.N. military operations in the Congo, said Secretary-General Thant, are
now at an end. The door is open, he said, for foreign aid to the Congo.
Almost as a postscript to this announcement came another from Congo where
U.N. experts are looking into the Katanga National Bank. Books examined showed
2.8 million dollars in hard currency. Amount actually found in the bank's
vaults: 116.28. Shortage is "under investigation."
Things like this Katanga incident make dispensers of aid uneasy. Natural
fear is that the open door for Congo aid may turn out to be a swinging door,
one that lets the aid go out about as fast as it comes in.

WHAT DE GAULLE SEES AHEAD
Why did De Gaulle slam the
door to Europe on Britain?
From those close to him: The
French President is looking far
into the future. He sees changes
coming-in Russia and in the
U. S. So his goal is to build a
"Europe for the Europeans."
PARIS
Charles de Gaulle, in the aftermath
of his victory in repelling Britain's bid
to join the European Common Market,
is described as being "serene."
France's President is said to be confi-
dent that the crisis he set off will die
down with time; that the Common Mar-
ket may shudder but will not break up.
In the end, De Gaulle feels, his position
will be recognized as right and neces-
sary for the creation of a truly united
Europe.
Many people ask: "Why does De
Gaulle seem bent on shattering the very
unity in Europe that he claims to be
working toward?" The answer you get
from officials close to him is this:
"You must understand that De Gaulle
is not a wily politician. He could have
let the negotiations in Brussels drag on
indefinitely until Britain was forced to
break them off. There still were enor-
mous difficulties to solve which we be-
lieve were insurmountable for Britain at
this time. But De Gaulle decided to end
it. That's his style-attributable, in part,
to his military background."
French officials emphasize that De
Gaulle is not excluding Britain from the
Common Market for all time. In his
view, however, Britain is not ready eco-
nomically or politically to participate
without reservations in the building of
the Europe that he has in mind.
Moreover, he is convinced that Britain
will not be ready for Europe until the
British break off their "special relation-
ship" with the United States.
Pique over missiles. Britain's "spe-
cial relationship" with the U. S. took on
new meaning for De Gaulle when Prime
Minister Macmillan at Nassau last De-
cember agreed to accept American Po-
laris missiles and put its own nuclear
weapons under the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization. De Gaulle was
quoted recently as saying: "Britain has
agreed to turn its nuclear force into the
hands of the U. S. She could have given
it to Europe. Well, she has chosen."
Those close to the French President
say he was struck by the fact that on a
vital matter of defense Britain made a
long-term commitment within a few
days. Yet, Britain had been haggling on
economic matters in the Common Mar-
ket negotiations for 16 months without,
in French eyes, much progress being
made.
Observers here get the impression that
De Gaulle somehow expected Britain to
offer to work with France in the creation
of a purely European nuclear force out-
side NATO. When Macmillan, instead,
chose to intensity co-operation with the
U. S. in the nuclear field, De Gaulle
decided to act.
There is an economic side to the
French position, too. Long before Brit-
ain made the Polaris deal with the
U. S., French officials frankly said they
preferred that Britain enter the Common
Market at a later date. The reason: The
sudden arrival of Britain, followed by
other candidates, would in the French
view wreck the careful structure of eco-
nomic integration.
French spokesmen talk about the

France ... is behind De Gaulle."
caused in Europe. Thus, De Gaulle feels
himself to be the defender of Europe
against a Britain which would have been
nothing more than a "Trojan horse" of
American economic and political dom-
ination.
The upshot is that De Gaulle expects
Britain to enter a period of great diffi-
culty. He foresees a Labor Government
returning to power-only to fall in a few
years, proving that there really is no
workable alternative to joining Europe.
Then, as De Gaulle sees it, a govern-
ment headed by progressive, young
Conservatives would emerge-capable
and willing to transform Britain and take
it into a united Europe.
A U. S. withdrawal? Behind all
these Gaullist predictions is a long-range
vision-10 to 15 years ahead-of the
way the world is moving. De Gaulle be-
lieves it inevitable that the U. S. will
sooner or later disengage from its com-
mitments in Europe. Ile believes the
NATO alliance, created in 1949, is com-
pletely out of date. Since then, the
whole power relationship between Eu-
rope and the U. S. has changed.
De Gaulle has long insisted that Rus-
sia will become more moderate, so that
some kind of East-West agreement will
become possible. That's what he means
when he talks of a Europe "from the At-
lantic to the Urals."
Will De Gaulle now make a deal with
Russia's Khrushchev? French officials
point to his rigidly anti-Communist rec-
ord, his support of the U. S. on Cuba, his
opposition to concessions to the Russians
in negotiations on Berlin. Ile hasn't
changed, these officials say.
It's often asked where the U. S. fits
into this Gaullist picture. The answer
is that first priority in De Gaulle's mind
is to get rid of American influence on
the Continent so that Europe "can make
itself." But he reportedly favors an alli-
ance with the U. S. as long as it's under-
stood that Europe-under French lead-
ership-is free to go its own way.
Right now, De Gaulle faces isolation.
He does not believe it will last. If only
for geographical reasons, not much can
be done in Europe without France.
For the immediate future there seems
to be little that the U. S, can do to dis-
suade De Gaulle. He regards U. S. ef-
forts to form an Atlantic community as
the "kiss of death" for a truly independ-
ent Europe. If and when anyone can
change De Gaulle's mind, it will be
Europeans, not Americans.

IF IT'S ROCKEFELLER
VS. KENNEDY IN 1964
Politicians already are counting the 1964 vote, State by State. They agree that
Governor Rockefeller has a tall job ahead if he is to unseat President Kennedy.
This analysis of trends in key areas shows why.
---Magnum Photo
BEST BET for the Republican presidential nomination in 1964: Governor Nelson
A. Rockefeller of New York. But it's almost certain that a fight will develop.
more and more it's being taken for
granted that in 1961, the race for the
Presidency will be between: Nelson A.
Rockefeller of Nev.- York for the Repub-
licans and John F. Kennedy of Massa-
chusetts for the Democrats.
President Kennedy will be renomi-
nated without challenge. Governor
Rockeleller's victory at the Republican
Convention will not come so easily.
Richard M. Nixon appears to have re-
moved himself from the running. Gov-
ernor George Homney of Michigan and
Governor \Villiam \V. Scranton of Penn-
sylvania have a scant year and a half in
which to establish themselves, and Mr.
Romncy in 1964 will have re-election
problems of his own.
That leaves only one Republican who
might have' it chance to challenge Mr.
Rockefeller for the nomination. Ile is
Barry Goldwater, the "conservative"
Senator from Arizona.
Senator Goldwater, however, comes
up for re-election to the Senate in 1964.
Under Arizona law he may not run for
both the Presidency and the Senate.
Mat iv Republicans keep referring to
the Arizona Senator as the "ideal vice-
presidential nominee." Senator Gold-
water, however, has said flatly that he is
not interested in second place on a Rock-
efeller ticket.
A party trend? Meanwhile, there
are stirrings within the Republican Party
which suggest to many of its leaders
that it "conservative" trend may be run-
ning within the party.
Opposition to foreign aid is growing.
There is little enthusiasm for constant
expansion of Government spending, with
budgets-and deficits-that do not stop
increasing. Public opposition to big, long
strikes scums to offer an issue to such a
"conservative as Mr. Goldwater.
The Senator has cultivated the "con-
servatives" of the South. Reportedly
there is much support for him there and
in the Border States. Goldwater enthusi-
asts think that, running against President
Kennedy, the Senator might pick up
125 or so electoral votes in those areas.

They see additional votes to be had
in New England, the Middle West and
Mountain areas. But even if the Senator
should score heavily in these States, as
neutral observers see it, he still would
be short of the 270 electoral votes
needed to win the election,
"Big" States. The consensus is that
Senator Goldwater would have to score
in several of the big industrial States,
with large electoral totals. It is in these
States that Mr. Kennedy is strongest.
All this, in any event, is conditioned
upon Senator Goldwater's winning the
nomination. Here, general opinion is, he
would run into a formidable obstacle.
The Republican Party and its conven-
tions came under the control of Repub-
lican "liberals" with the nomination of
Wendell L. Willkie in 1940. Thomas E.
Dewey and Dwight D. Eisenhower de-
feated Senator Robert A. Taft. Richard
M. Nixon became acceptable to the "lib-
erals" and, in 1960, he adapted his pro-
gram-over Mr. Goldwater's objections
-to the ideas of Mr. Rockefeller.
The latter now is acceptable to the
"liberals" and also to numerous "con-
servative" party leaders who might actu-
ally prefer Senator Goldwater, but see
the New York Governor as the more
probable winner.
Totting up figures-. Those close
to Mr. Rockefeller, and the Governor
himself, are busy figuring out a combi-
nation of States that would give him the
needed 270 electoral votes.
Usually, they begin with Mr. Rocke-
feller's own State, New York. It has 43
electoral votes, biggest of all, The Gov-
ernor, of course, is well known. He has
been elected twice there.
Now the Democratic organization in
New York City is in disrepair, torn by
internal feuding. The Republican or-
ganization is firmly based on the party's
control of the State government.
Nevertheless, the expectation that Mr.
Rockefeller would win in New York is
firmly disputed in knowledgeable polit-
ical circles. The State will be one of the
great battlegrounds of 1964.
Next, Rockefeller strategists turn to
Pennsylvania and its 29 electoral votes.
Mr. Kennedy carried the State in 1960
by 116,326 votes, getting 51.2 per cent
of the total cast-a close result.
Governor Scranton replaced a Demo-
cratic predecessor last autumn. This
gives the Republicans an opportunity to
beef up their organization with extensive
State patronage. Democrats are feuding
in Philadelphia, and a blowup is ex-
pected. Pennsylvania will be another
battleground of 1964. With New York
and Pennsylvania, Mr. Rockefeller would
have 72 electoral votes.
In Ohio, the Rockefeller forces have

every reason to expect a victory. The
State has 26 electoral votes. Richard M.
Nixon carried Ohio by 273,363 votes in
1960. Last year a Republican defeated
the incumbent Democratic Governor,
giving the astute Republican State chair-
man, Ray Bliss, a base for strengthening
his already strong organization. Add
Ohio, and the Rockefeller total is 98.
President Kennedy took Illinois in
1960 with a bare margin of 8,858 votes.
The big-city organization of Richard J.
Daley in Chicago has weakened. Repub-
licans are confident about 1964. The
State has 26 electoral votes, which
would give the Governor 124.
Problem States. Rockefeller forces
are aiming somewhat uncertainly at a
prize of 21 electoral votes in Michigan.
To win they would have to defeat the
determined efforts of the United Auto-
mobile Workers and the AFL-CIO. With

labor's help Mr. Kennedy took Michigan
by 66,841 votes in 1960. Mr. Romney's
victory, by 78,500 votes, last autumn was
considered more. personal than political.
In the same election a Democratic
Representative-at-large was elected. The
consensus is that Mr. Rockefeller has his
work cut out for him, but with Michigan
his total would be 145.
In California, with 40 electoral votes,
both sides will go all out. Opinions differ
as to which will win, but are dominantly
pro-Kennedy.
Mr. Rockefeller has problems in Cali-
fornia, where he is not too well known.
There is a continuing row between-Re-
publican rightists and those who are
more to the middle of the road. The
Democratic organization, despite some
bickering, is anchored to the Democratic
State administration.
Some suggest that Mr. Rockefeller
might help himself by making Senator
Thomas H. Kuchel, a popular figure, his
vice-presidential running mate, or by
turning to Governor Mark O. Hatfield
of neighboring Oregon.
California went to Richard M. Nixon
by 35,623 votes out of more than 6.4
million cast in 1960.
These six big-city States will cast a
total of 185 electoral votes in 1964. In
all except Ohio and perhaps Illinois,
there are serious doubts that Mr. Rocke-
feller can defeat Mr. Kennedy.
It is in these States that Mr. Kennedy
perhaps is strongest. The electorate in-
cludes millions of low-income voters, la-
bor, Negroes, people of the Jewish faith,
ethnic minorities to whom the Presi-
dent's appeal is strong. There also are
many Roman Catholics. Politicians ex-
pect the latter to stand by the President,
On the West Coast, Oregon, with 6
electoral votes, has Republican tenden-
cies in national elections. Washington
State, 9 votes, veers from side to side.
Hawaii, 4 votes, went Democratic in
1960, and Alaska, 3 votes, went Repub-
lican-both by a hair.
Even if Mr. Rockefeller should take
all six big-city States, the smaller States
credited to him would leave his total a
little short of the 270 needed for a ma-
jority in the Electoral College. He would
look to the South and the Border States
to make up the deficiency.
South: an enigma. What the South
might do in 1964 is a politicians' enigma.
Southerners like neither Mr. Rockefeller
nor Mr. Kennedy because of their em-
phatic stands on Negro rights.
Nevertheless, expectations are that
Virginia, 12 votes, and Florida, 14, might
go to Mr. Rockefeller, with the possible
addition of North Carolina, 13 votes.
This would put him over.
Politicians say that Mr. Kennedy
could count on Georgia and Arkansas
and that the Catholic vote makes him
formidable in Louisiana. They also see
his strength growing in Tennessee,
which he lost in 1960-mainly, politi-
cians think, on the religious issue. Texas
now is generally credited to Mr. Ken-
nedy. The Texas Poll of January 20 gives
Mr. Kennedy 60 per cent, Mr. Rocke-
feller 29, with 11 per cent undecided.
Along the border, Mr. Kennedy is re-
ported well entrenched in Maryland and
West Virginia and gaining strength in
Kentucky and Oklahoma.
Politicians, studying these figures,
think one conclusion is obvious: To win,
Mr. Rockefeller must score somewhat

KENNEDY'S LATEST PLAN
FOR AID TO SCHOOLS
What about the Kennedy Ad-
ministration's omnibus education
bill for '63-will it fare any bet-
ter than last year's?
Here's a look at the latest mul-
tibillion-dollar aid plan, item by
item, and how it is being received
in Congress.
As with his tax plan, President Ken-
ncdv has thrown into his school-aid plan
just about every idea his advisers have
hoeii able to think tip.
Many items of the President's school-
aid program already are in trouble with
Congress. Of two dozen-with a price
tag of 5 to 6 billions over a three-year
period-the big new item most likely to
get approval is the one providing federal
aid to build college classrooms.
Rua down the list and you find few
other school-aid ideas that are not in
trouble. As key Congressmen see it-
Aid for teachers' pay. This one faces
intense opposition because parochial
schools would not benefit and for other
reasons. Passage is highly doubtful.
Aid for construction. Together with
teacher aid, this idea would cost 1.5 bil-
lions, making it the most costly of the
new proposals. Federal money would
help build public elementary and high
schools in needy areas. Again, the re-
ligious issue is a factor. Parochial schools
want to share. There's also pressure to
tie on an amendment requiring inte-
gration in the new schools. Seems dead.
Help for equipment. Idea is to con-
tinue the present program of subsidy
for science, mathematics and language-
teaching equipment for secondary
schools. Opposition unlikely.
Aid for impacted areas. Extension of
it current program to subsidize public
schools in areas inundated by military
families and federal workers seems as-
sured. Cost: 1.5 billions over four years.
But proposed changes, including addi-
tion of Washington, D. C., to subsidy
areas. are running into trouble.
Grants for junior colleges. Outright
federal grants are proposed here, to
pay up to half the cost of building and
equipping new, two-year "community
colleges. The idea has considerable sup-
port, but serious questions are raised as
to why grants are involved instead of
loans, as in the case of four-year colleges.
l.'neertain as of now.
College building loans. Proposed are
I ederal loans of up to I billion dollars
aver three years, to help finance aca-
dcmic buildings. Unless the religious
ssue blocks it, this proposal appears to
have a good chance.
Loans to students. Idea is to expand
v 50 per cent the present national de-
-USN&Wtt Photo
CAMPUS ADDITION-Congress may ap-
prove loans to build college classrooms
tense student-loan plan. Fair chance of
passage, unless talk of adding free schol-
arship grants adds controversy.
Insurance for bank loans. This plan-
for federal backing to underwrite pri-
vate loans from banks or colleges to
students-has gotten nowhere in the
past. Its chances of being approved this
time are uncertain.
"Work and study" program. Thisisa
new proposal. The U. S. would pay half
of student wages for part-time campus
jobs. Little enthusiasm sparked in Con-
gress thus far.
Graduate fellowships. Idea is to in-
crease the number of federal fellow-
ships from 1,500 to 10,000 annually,
and add 2,000 summer-session fellow-
ships. F.ach pays $2.000 to $2,400 a year.
Has some chance, but considered too big
a jump by many.
Technical schools. Donations of fed-
eral money are envisioned here, to
pay half the cost of building, equipping
two-year, college-level schools to turn
out technicians in engineering, science
and health fields. Relatively new idea,
its reception still uncertain.
Aid for college libraries. A new Gov-
ernment subsidy is proposed to build li-
braries on campuses, stock them with
books. Little reaction to this one.
Graduate-school grants. Federal do-
nations here would cover half the cost
of building or expanding university
graduate schools. First response in Con-
gress: Why not loans, like those pro-
posed for undergraduate buildings?
Language centers. Proposed is a 50
per cent increase in a current program
for language studies in colleges. Both
public and private institutions eligible.
Approval likely.
Community libraries. This one is a
new idea: federal funds for new libaries
in cities and towns across the U. S. No
quick approval foreseen.
More extension courses. Off-campus
education would be expanded by financ-
ing bigger extension-course programs by
land-grant colleges, State universities.
Such a plan got nowhere last year, has
an uncertain outlook now.
Aid for adult education. Small fed-
eral grants are proposed for programs of
education up to the eighth grade for
adults. Crowded out last year, proposal
now has a 50-50 chance.
Handicapped children. Grants of fed-
eral money would provide special train-
ing for teachers of deaf, blind, retarded
and otherwise handicapped children. No
real opposition; relatively little money
involved.
Vocational education. Half again as
much federal aid is proposed to spur
vocational training. Not controversial at
this time.
Teacher training. Several proposals
are involved: (1) Direct payments to
teachers to help pay for further school-
ing. (2) Grants to colleges to expand
teacher-training facilities. (3) Some spe-
cialized training programs. (4) An ex-
panded program to help prospective
teachers finance their education. Pros-
pects seem to be tied in with bigger
school-aid programs, now in trouble in
most cases. [END]

"Profit?
.Who needs it!"
T O MANY AMERICANS these days, `Profit' has become
an almost evil word. Yet everyone in the country
favors a fast rate of growth for the U.S. economy. This
is like being for transportation but against the wheel.
Under our system, you simply can't have economic
growth or material progress without profits.
T AKE UNION OIL'S CASE. During the last 10 years, the
public. demand for petroleum products in our mar-
keting territory has grown from 885,000 barrels per day
to 1,215,000. To keep pace with these growing needs,
Union Oil has had to invest some $280,000,000 in refin-
ing, marketing and distribution facilities alone. To say
nothing of the even larger amounts we have invested in
the search for more oil and gas reserves.
HERE DID WE GET THE MONEY to do this? Part of
Wit came from funds set aside to replace worn out
facilities. Part of it came from net profits - slightly more
than half of which we customarily plow back into the
business each year. And part of it we borrowed. But, in
any case, these necessary facilities would have been
impossible without profits.
Union Oil Company of California
SO WOULD A LOT OF OTHER THINGS. Taxes on profits
of U. S. corporations provide our Federal Govern-
ment enough revenue each year to pay the entire
costs of operating the Departments of Agriculture,
Commerce, Health Education and Welfare, Labor and
State; plus the Atomic Energy Commission, C.A.B.,
F.H.A., Veterans Administration and the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration.
W ITHOUT PROFITS, all our nation's research and
development on new and improved products
would falter. In fact, practically every product your
family uses owes its existence to profits. And every one
of the 681/2 million jobs in the country-public or
private - is dependent on profits.
O WHEN YOU'RE TALKING about our nation's eco-
S nomic growth and welfare, profit is not just a part
of the system, it is the very foundation of the entire
American economy. You simply can't have one without
the other.

Washington, D.C.
Business activity is climbing, but slowly. That's the latest report of
the Commerce Department after scanning the record for December, early January.
People's income continues to show gains. In January there was a sharp jump
because of payments of dividends on veterans' life insurance.
Rising incomes, however, are about the only sign of substantial advance.
Industrial production has been level for seven months.
Factory shipments of durable goods showed little change. Orders for
durables, however, showed a dip in December.
Retail sales are running at a record clip but show few gains.
It's this sluggishness that the Kennedy Administration hopes to overcome by
tax cuts and federal spending. Improvement will not come quickly, however, as a
result of these devices, even if Congress approves.
Nonfarm employment in January totaled 61.7 million. That was down a little
more than seasonally from the December total of 63.5 million. After seasonal
adjustment, the Labor Department notes that nonfarm employment has shown little
change since last May. That's another sign of sluggishness.
Unemployment in January was 4.7 million, against 3.8 million in December.
Rise in number of jobless was a little more than usual for the season.
Unemployment rate, seasonally adjusted, was 5.8 per cent of the labor
force, against 5.6 per cent in December--not a great change. 1962.
Unemployment in January, 1963, was at the same rate as in January,
As far as the problem of the jobless is concerned, there was no improvement
over the year. And little improvement is expected for the months ahead.
Total output in 1962 came to 554 billions, up 35 billions or almost 7 per
cent from 1961 Output this year is estimated at 578 billions, for a gain of a
little more than 4 per cent. That will not be enough to get the plant use,
production and employment that the Kennedy planners want. Official view, in
brief, is that economic sluggishness will not be corrected this year.
Moderate improvement in business is reported for January by the National
Association of Purchasing Agents. That is about what was expected.
Production gained, but the purchasing agents said the advance slowed.
New orders however, are reported by the purchasing agents to be running
ahead of production. That's regarded as a healthy sign. Orders had been
smaller than production for three months.
Order gains are a sign that plants will be kept busy in the future. Drops

reporting were still cutting back stocks, an equal number were building stocks.
Chances are that more inventory building will be done as industrial buyers
begin to hedge against the possibility of strikes. Purchasing agents, however,
still seem to be cautious in making forward commitments.
Construction industry continues at near-boom levels.
Total new construction in January ran at a rate of 62.6 billions a year,
after seasonal adjustment. That was a gain of 1 per cent above December and
5.8 per cent above a year earlier.
Private building activity accounted for the January increase. The gain
was sparked by a rise, seE-.sonally adjusted, in residential building. Home
building, in fact, was at a record for the month, 13.6 per cent ahead of a year
earlier. Other private building also gained in January, after slipping for four
successive months. Industrial building continued to decline.
Public construction dipped in January for the third successive month.
Activity in public building was down 10.6 per cent from the October record
and 2.7 per cent below a year earlier. Drop in highwa building accounts for
most of the decline in public works.
Outlook is for declines in building activity over the next month or two
because of the bitter winter. Return of milder weather should bring a large
gain in public construction and perhaps a moderate upturn in housing starts.
Orders for cutting-type tools rose 10 per cent in December to the highest
point in 13 months. Shipments in fourth quarter were the highest since 1957.
Bookings for fabricated structural steel also rose in December. The
American Institute of Steel- Construction reported the highest volume of orders
since January, 1956. December shipments were high.
Rising orders for tools and structural steel may indicate that business
firms are raising their sights on investments. If so, the improvement in
general business activity this year may be greater than now is expected.

Sluggishness in the economy shows up on the latest chart of indicators. The
base of the index has been changed from a 1947-49 average to a 1957-59 average.
That lowers the index numbers on the chart, but does not affect trends.

 THEY CALLED THE MAN WITH THE FASTENING FACTS ...
SPEE PACKING 50%, SAVED $1500 YEARLY IN MATERIAL COSTS
When Algonquin Marine found that the costs of shipping its wrap-around,
contoured motorboat windshields were running too high, the company turned to
Bostitch stapling for a solution. By using a flat, scored corrugated board
for the outer packaging and sealing the container with a portable Bostitch stapler,
the total packaging operation was speeded up 50%, according to James Gassien,
Shipping Department Manager.
Besides time savings, the material-cost savings have been substantial.
Cartons that took 44? worth of material each with the old method, now only take
8? worth with Bostitch. In addition to this operation, the company has
standardized on stapling wherever possible in all its shipping operations.
To see how you can save time, money, and manpower in your shipping room,
call THE MAN WITH THE FASTENING FACTS. He's listed under "Bostitch"
in most phone books--or write direct.
