The slump in the prices of stocks listed
on the New York stock exchange has pro
gressed far enough to wipe out the markups
of the past two years, on the average In
stocks, however, the "average" is somewhat
fictional. No one puts in an order for 100
shares of "Average" common. He buys a
specific issue. While its price from day to
day is affected by the general swings of the
market, it is affected more by the perform
ance of the company which has issued it.
Since "misery loves company," one who sees
the price of a. stock he owns dropping from
day to day has his misery eased to note that
other securities are riding the escalator down.
And many have. The financial pages in recent
days have listed scores of securities which
touched new lows for the year, and mighty
few that hit a new high.
Conservatives in finance are ready with the
explanation that the price drop was long
overdue. Numerous investment services have
been raising warning signs for years, some of
them missing the 1953-57 bull market en
tirely. Now they can say "I told you so,"
which merely attests the fact that if one sticks
to a position long enough events usually will
prove him correct.
What seems to have happened was that
hopes were overcapitalized. "Growth" stocks
failed to keep on growing. The year opened
In the aftermath of the Suez crisis which had
depressed the prices of the international oils.
As that crisis ended, the oil companies, in
cluding the internationals, showed whopping
first quarter profits. That helped fuel the
midsummer boom which crested in July.
A better sign was the skid in metals. These
are natural resources, presumably good infla
tion hedges. In early 1956 the price of cop
per went to 46 cents a pound. Then it broke,
sharply, and has got down to 27 cents a
pound. Lead and zinc prices followed. Other
commodity prices declined, lumber for ex
ample. Reports in midsummer showed that
inventories had increased rather than de
creased as was expected; and when the last
quarter failed to confirm the assurances of
business improvement, the bears took over on
Wall Street.
Now the question is, has the decline gone
far enough? Will the market "level off" or
will it bounce back? Being neither a prophet
nor the son of a prophet, we cannot say. One
would think that it has gone far enough, per
haps too far in view of the very substantial
volume of business now being conducted.
Trading psychology may be over-pessimistic,
however, as well as over-optimistic. The re
cent drop may excite fears out of proportion
to reality. Just now people are jumpy sput
nik and Syria as well as Wall Street's antics
contribute to their nervousness. What seems
the most reasonable analysis is that the stock
market is going through another of its cor

Ground Rules for
Military Service
The Statesman's recent series on prospects
for draft-age youth provided a lot of food for
cogitation, and was presented in the hope that
such information would be useful in chart
ing a future course. But it could not help but
leave a rallier dismaying impression of the
vagaries which surround the sclqctive service
and enlistment programs of military services.
It is fully recognized that draft quotas can
not be set up far in advance, and that each
change compels a reappraisal of eligibles on
draft board lists through the country. It is
true, too, that despite specific instructions
from the Pentagon individual draft boards
cannot always assess the relative merits of in
dividual case's in identical ways. It would be
impossible to set up rules to govern each cir
cumstance. However, in the light of reduced quotas,
we could quarrel considerably with what ap
pears to be the present policy of snatching
primarily the older youlh (22 to 25i who eith
er have asked no deferment previously or
have been automatically deferred for educa
tion or both.
The 19 to-22-year-olds who are attending
colleges ar.e placing themselves in a position
to contribute more to (he nation, and we have
no criticism of the program which defers
them. Nor can we quarrel will) their being
drafted when they finish school if their num
ber is drawn or if they are needed to fill out
quotas. Certainly they should not expect per
manent deferment.
But to aim specifically at taking them at an
older age of 22 to 25. when many of them
have been married and already have entered
their life work, and when quotas do not even
need the thousands of younger men with no
reason for deferment, seems rank discrimi
nation. Catching some men just before they reach
over-age (26) to make certain they fulfill their
military obligations, would be all right if
everyone was to be called. But everyone isn't.
By pointing specifically to the older group,
and letting alone the youngsters many of
whom are rather at loose ends anyway, select
ive service is not exercising its proper func
tion. It is. in effect, aiming only at the so
called cream.-
As for the vagaries of military enlistment
programs when one time a youth is permit
ted to fulfill his obligations with six months
of active duty and a few months later another
youth is told he must serve two or more
ycars, how can the military expect much more
than a watchand-wait or lct's ride-it-out atti
tude on the part of prospective enlistees and
draftees?
American youth in peace-time is entitled to
a better break as to a knowledge of what may
be expected of it and when.

women arc psychologically better
able to adapt themselves to the
strains of our highly competitive
society that it is, in effect, easier
to be a woman than a man in
mid-twentieth century America."
Take ulcers, which many trace,
in part at least, to excessive ten
sionfive times as many women
as men die of duodenal ulcers.
There is the old saying that "man
works from sun to sun, but wo
men's work is never done." That
isn't true any more, that is, the
housewife end of it. Without mini
mizing the labors of the homes
maker they are not, on the ave
rage as heavy as formerly. A bat
tery of appliances and modern
conveniences spare her many of
the rigors of cleaning and cook
ing, ore preparing of foods is done
outside the home. Family health
is better, particularly that of the
wife and mother. No longer is she
expected to go into a decline when
she reaches the age of SO.
The social consequences are ap
parent. More women are working
land as they rise in executive re
sponsibilities maybe more of them
will get ulcers. Women will take
a more active part in politics and
public affairs. Competition for
mates will become keener among
women, which is apt to increase
the divorce rate as more sfiRres
sue females prowl among men
already married. Women will con
trol even more of the wealth than
at present, and their patronage
will rise in ratio in mercantile es
tablishments.
What chance is there to even up
the mortality rate by lengthening
the life span of the male? Green
berg says that will call for a radi
cal modification of our. mores:
"The male would have to jetti
son his cult of manliness and
abandon his illusion of biological
superiority. And the female would
have to give up her demand for
special consideration and accept
the responsibilities of her greater
stamina. The shock to both egos
might be severe." - r . 1
And yet, may not something
along that line happen? If the
population disparity widens the
male will become the one sought
after, and under the operation of
the old law of supply and demand
he may become more "demand
ing." Biochemists keep fooling around
with their test tubes mixing solu
tions of proteins and amino acids;
but none predicts that the male
will become biologically unneces
sary. Nature will manage to sup
ply enough of both sexes to keep
the race alive, but men and wo
men may have to make adjust
ments in their way of life to main
tain a closer equality in numbers.

OCTOBER REVOLUTION

Gongfessional Quiz
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 (CQ)-
Lobbies and population figures are
pushing Congress toward a de
cision on Federal medical insur
ance for the aged.
The AFL-CIO is mobilizing its
15 million members behind a bill
to authorize the Federal legisla
tion as it has in the past. Instead,
a special AMA committee is study
ing how private health insurance
for the elderly can be extended.
The American Hospital Assn.,
representing most V. S. hospitals,
also has appointed a committee to
study (he health problems of the
aged. The Association s position on
Federal "medical Insuranre would
be based largely oa Its committee's
findings.
The American Nurses Assn., rep
resenting 181,000 nurses, will de
cide whether to take a position
on Federal medical insurance for
the elderly at its December con
vention, v
This buildup of interest among
lobbies in the health problems of
the aged already is being felt by
members of Congress. The growing
ranks of elderly give the health
insurance question added urgency.
Social Security Administration
figures show that In 1900 people ti
years eld or older made up 4 per
percent of aged la the population
cent of the population. By 1955, the
more than doubled to 8.4 percent.
The administration predicts the
percentage will jump to about 10
percent by 1970, 13 percent by
2000 and 19 percent by 2050.
The problem is that people 65
or older have a hard time getting
insurance against nospuanzaiion
and nursing home expenses that
so often go along with old age.
Sickness often wipes out their sav
ings or forces them to apply for
charity treatment by hospitals. The
Social Security Administration es
timated that about 45 percent of
the people 65 orover have some
kind of health insurance, butthat
it pays for only about 25 percent
of their actual medical bills.
The answer, according to the
AFL-CIO, is to raise the social
security tai and use the extra
money to pay the medical bills
of those receiving social security
checks. The AFL-CIO has endors
ed a bil introduced by Rep. Alme
J. Forahd (I). R.I.) to provide
such Insurance.
Forand's bill would increase the
tax employers and employees each
pay for Old Age and Survivors
Insurance coverage by H of 1 per
cent. It also would tax the first
$6,000 of wages instead of the first
$4,200 as now. The tax for the
self-employed would be raised by
of 1 per cent. The resulting in
come for the social security fund
would be used for a general 10
percent increase in OASI pay
ments and the new medical in
surance program.
The medical assistance would
be available to anyone receiving
his social security checks or to
anyone eligible for them. Forand
esllmales this amounts to about
13 million persona. The unofficial
estimate of the cost of the medical
program Is $600 million for the
year 1959.
The Federal Government would
pay for up to 60 days of hospitali
zation a year and the cost of
surgery, including dental surgery.
It also would pay for a maximum
of 60 days of .nursing home ex
penses if the person was sent
there after being hospitalized. The
patient 'could choose his own doc
tor and dentist, just as under priv
ate, plans.
George Meany, president of the
AFL-CIO, says Forand's proposals
are necessary, sound -and en
lightened." Forand himself calls
them "modest," adding that'they
have been limited deliberately to
facilitate enactment of this much
needed -measure in 1958."
But the AMA legislative com
mittee already has come ant
against the Forand bill and the
general membership Is expected
to endorse that stand at Us De
cember convention. AMA contends
private soarces eaa da the job.
1
for the aged Just as they have
done for the general population.
More than two-thirds of the U. 8.
population is covered by private
hospitalization insurance. An AMA
spokesman said the Association
fears that leglslatioa such as the
Forand bill would pave the way
for socialized medicine and socialization-
of other businesses.
The AMA does not plan to build
its argument around the fact that
the Social Security Administration
already estimates it will pay out
more money -in benefits than it
takes in as contributions in fiscal
1958, 1959 and 1960. New 1960 so
cial security taxes already on the
books are estimated to put the
fund., back in balance by fiscal
1961.
There has been no action in
past years on bills similar to For
and's. Congress also has not acted
on a proposal by President Eisen
hower to have the Federal Gov
ernment assume some of the risk
of private health insurance.
But Forand Is the fourth-ranking
Democrat oa the House Ways and
Means Committee which will de
cide whether to send his bill to
the floor for a vote. This strategic
positioa plus strong AFL-CIO
backing may be enough to force
at least Congressional hearings
on the bill In 1958 a big step to
ward getting the measure to the
floor.
At the very least, the proposal
and others like it will give new
prominence to the plight of the
aged trying to pay rising medical
bills with a fixed income.

To Halt Military
Research Slash
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 I Sen
Monroney D-Oklai urged Presi
dent Eisenhower today to wipe out
an Aug. 17 order by former Sec
retary of Defense Charles E. Wil
son slashing military research and
development spending at least 170
million dollars.
The order by Wilson, before he
quit as secretary of defense this
month, was not made public at
the time he issued it. A depart
ment spokesman, who made it
available today in answer to an
Hnquiry, said Wilson s aim was to
have the Army, Navy and Air
Force "review closely and care
fully the research test and eval
uation program" in view of the
economy pinch on defense spend
ing.
The program provides for spend
ing five billion dollars during the
fiscal year which started July 1.
It includes $1,700,000,000 for basic
research and $3,300,000,000 for re
search and development procure
ment.
Wilson ordered savings equal to
10 per cent of each service s por
tion of the $1,700,000,000. However,
a department spokesman said, Wil
son intended that the amount
should come out of the $3,300,000,
000 procurement fund.
The spokesman said the three
services have taken a different
approach: The Navy has made a
detailed study project by project
on which to base its cutbacks
the Air Force has ordered a flat
5 per cent cut; the Army is carry
ing out a program involving both
the Navy and Air Force systems.
As a result, it's not clear now
whether the cut is being made
from only the procurement portion
or dips into the basic research
totals. Pentagon officials have said
basic research would not be
touched and Wilson told a Sept.
19 news conference all the basic
research
funds would "be
utilized.'
Japan Fields
Whaling Team
After Doubts
KOBE, Japan, Oct. 20 W After
a little more trouble fielding a
team, Japan sent off a vanguard
fleet today to the 12th annual In
ternational Whaling Olympics.
There was some pregame ten
sion on the docks this morning
when the crews of 10 catcher
boats refused to end a holdout for
more money. The mother ship of
the fleet' left without them.
But before long, the owners
came across with a compromise
and the crewmen climbed aboard
and, set sail for Antarctic waters.
The crews wanted a $770 commis
sion. They agreed to take $727
plus about $10 for each man if
they catch the limit of 4,855 blue
whales.
In all. Japan will send six fleets
into the competition that is, six
mother ships and 68 catchers. The
rest of the Japanese team will
leave for the Antarctic later.
Norway won last year, being the
first to catch the 1957 limit of
6,247 blue whales. Japan was sec
ond. Other nations competing this
year are Britain, with three fleets
and the Soviet Union and the
Netherlands, with one fleet each.
South Africa has withdrawn from
this year's competition.
The season opens Jan. 7 and
closes April 7. The International
Whaling Commission in London,
which sets the limit on whale
catches, .set the 1958 goal at 4,855.
The winner gets no prize.

Effort Urged
By Reuther
By EDMOND LE BRETON
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 I
Walter Reuther said today labor
would make "every sacrifice nec
essary for success of an emer
gency program to outstrip the So
viets in the missile and satellite
field.
But the United Auto Workers'
president and AFL-CIO vice pres
ident said it has yet to be shown
that such things as longer work
ing hours or a wage freeze are
necessary in such an undertaking.
In an ABC-TV interview "Col
lege News Conference" Reuther
said U. S. industry is not work
ing at furl capacity and should be
mobilized. Then, he said, it would
be appropriate to see whether
longer hours are needed and "if
Lit made the difference between
success ana taiiure in me strug
gle between freedom and tyranny
you would hear us say Just
tell us how long and we'll go to
work."
He said the launching of the
Russian satellite was a "blood
less Pearl Harbor" that might jolt
the United States out of complac
ency. Includes Agreement
He was asked whether his pro
posals for a crash program would
also include foregoing wage in
creased and replied in similar
vein. Labor's war record, he said,
included agreeing to a wage
freeze.
Reuther said that in forthcom
ing bargaining with the automo
bile and other industries, "we
don't want one red cent in higher
wages or other benefits that
would cause the price of an auto
mobile to go up one penny."
Reuther said "we are going to
have more to say" about the re
jected proposal his union made to
automobile companies that they
reduce prices by $100 against a
union offer to take the reduction
into account in bargaining.
Reuther insisted the offer was
a genuine one, not made merely
for publicity, and that "we were
committing ourselves."
Reuther refused several times
to say flatly whether he will vote
to expel the scandal - tainted
Teamsters' Union when the AFL
CIO Executive Council considers
its case next Thursday. He said
he could not do so because he was
going to sit in judgment, and be
sides that he wanted information
on what the union had done dur
ing the 30-day answer time al
lowed it.
Agrees With Report
But Reuther said he agreed
with the critical report on the un
ion by the AFL-CIO Ethical Prac
tices Committee and that "in the
free labor movement there can be
no compromise with communism
or with corruption."
Reuther also said the Democrat
ic party has to "make up its mind
whether it believes, in civil rights
and will fight for them and let
the Dixiecrats go their own sep
arate way. or it will forfeit the
right to the support of decent
Americans who believe in civil
rights." '
When Reuther was asked, "Do
you want to be president of the
United States some day," he re
plied smilingly, "I do not."

Polish Catholics
Warn Against
Stalinism Return
WARSAW, Oct. 20 -A paper
which reflects the views of the
Polish Itoman Catholic "Church
warned today of "two mortal dan
gers" threatening Polish inde
pendence from opposite political
directions.
It said one of the dangers is
anarchism and the other "those
forces which would give way to a
com lsjon..in olher
. . r
imsm.
The paper, Tygodnik Powszech
ny of Krakow, a Catholic weekly
close to Stefan Cardinal Wyszyn
ski, strongly defended the
achievements of the bloodless rev
olution ofOctober. a year ago,
which brought Wladyslaw Go
mulka to power and gained for
Poland a considerable degree of
independence from Soviet control
in domestic policy. It said, "De
fense of October is defense of rea
sonable compromise."
F.ngage Forces
"We engage our forces." tht
weekly declared, "in an effort to
prevent the great national Octo
ber achievement from being wast
ed. "
In a 2.000-word, front-page edi
torial published on the first an
niversary of "Polish October."
Tygodnik Powszechny said: "We
see lively democratic tendencies
-encountering stubborn resistance
of conservative elements which
defend the old order."
This was an obvious reference
to the Stalinist wing of the Polish
Communist movement which has
been attempting to undermine the
Gomulka regime.
At the same time the paper as
sailed various forms of conflict
and disturbances which "ruin the
nation's peace."
Bishops Rap
Red Orders
In East Reich
BERLIN, Oct. 20 UB-The Evan
gelical Lutheran bishops of
Communist-ruled East Germany
warned parents today they have
to choose between Red youth dedi
cation or church consecretation
rites for their children.
The warning came in a joint
statement read from pulpits at
Evangelical Church services
throughout East Berlin and East
Germany. It climaxed a year-long
battle between church and stale
over dedication ceremonies in
which teen-agers are pledged to
loyalty to the Communist state.
The Communist government has
repeatedly accused the Evangeli
cal Church of displaying a hostile
attitude toward the state through
efforts to keep young people from
participating in the dedication
rites. The church has countered
with charges that youths are in
stigated against religion in prepa
ration for the rites.
In today's warning, the bishops
reaffirmed earlier statements that
boys and girls can only have
either the Communist or the
church rites.
It is an 'either or' issue," ths
statement said. "It is impossible
to reconcile both ceremonies."
Death Toll Not
Linked to Powerful
Cars, Study Shows
CHICAGO. Oct. 20 (JrV-The Na
tional Safety Council said today
study "has failed to establish
any conclusive relationship be
tween higher horsepower and the
rising traffic toll."
The study was made by the
council's Committee on Speed
headed by Donald S. Berry of
Northwestern University.
The committee also stated:
"While higher horsepower does
increase the top speed potential
of motor vehicles, it is absorbed
in part by softer tiros and in new
power accessories.
"Higher horsepower also pro
provides additional acceleration
potential, which can reduce dis
tance required for passing other
vehicles, thereby contributing to
accident prevention."
