Schmicding, 65, this week was honored at a dinner in Eugene marking his recent retirement as manager and partner at r''!.'ii. w U.S.TaxpayerHas Company in Woes By SAM DAWSON or Ihe Aiiorlatrd Frest NEW YORK Other people's troubles often can be a com fort even if they shouldn't be. And awareness of the squabbles in tho Communist bloc can ease tho pain for Americans bewild ered by government spending rising to $122 billion and the prospect of Treasury deficits that soem to grow with each fresh look at tho books. And also the dissension in what has been billed as an Eden, tho European Common Market, could do something for any shaken morale of Americans fared with stubborn unemploy ment, labor strife reaching the acute stage in some areas, a con tinuing deficit in international dollar settlements. Even when things look bad, it's a comfort to know that we aren't alone. And the chances arc we'll work out our problems as quickly and as well as will the others and probably faster and better. The Communists' troubles arc economic as well as political. The policy split between the So viet Union and China is the po litical part of it. But their strug gle with agricultural failures. their loss of markets in Western Europe, their inability to get be yond hit and run gains in scat tered areas of the world in their competition with American in dustry all are becoming more evident. That's what is behind Soviet Premier Khrushchev's in creasing imitation of Western capitalism and his attacks on the Common Market. But the spectacularly success ful venture of the six European nations also is running into problems. In a number of areas tho big growth in industry slowing down. The costs of pro duction now are rising faster in Western Europe than in the United States. . At home the United States will have to deal with rising discontent in labor's ranks over the inroads of automation on jobs, and insistent efforts of management to hold down in creasing production costs. Congress will have to decide it tax cutting will heln solve this problem by Increasing con sumer purchasing power and business spending power so that production will rise and more jobs be created. And Congress will have to de cide how high Treasury deficits can go without hurting the pur chasing power of the dollar at home and its standing in world financial centers. But the rest of the world will be having its troubles, too. Prob lems aren't an American monopoly. Midgleys Millwork Sc Glass, Eugene.
