J 0 4 HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday, December 27. 1962 Babson Takes Cautious View on '63 Outlook (Continued from page 1) people at home by Improving rather than reducing their stand ard of living. I saw this very clearly when I was in Moscow. He helped Castro only so that he would have something to trade with the United States, either in connection with Berlin or with our bases which we now have in Europe. Khrushchev expected to later withdraw from Cuba when he first decided to help Castro. He knew Russia could continue to use Cuba as a base for Rus sian submarines. Now both Khrushchev and Castro are look ing to save face at home. borne think the Cuban fracas will make President Kennedy much tougher with labor here in the United States, but I disagree. uhdot leaders may be more rea sonable in their demands, but they will continue to have fri ends at the White House. LABOR AND THE PROFIT MARGIN Readers should realize that the steel workers can reopen their wage contract after May 1, 1963, lhe settlement of this contract will be very likely to influence other labor disputes, depending largely on international condi tions. I feel that our country is be coming "immune" to crises, be lieving that the cold war will continue for vears to come There, however, will be no nuc lear war within aur generation: and no inlernational war of any Kinu in juttf. Labor should begin to realize in 1963 that wages finally do pend upon the employer's mar gin of profit. The year 1962 has seen many employer's cl o s e down because of their slight margin. Small businessmen both manufacturers and retailers must have a larger margin of profit to exist. There are too many mergers into bigger units ana too many lauures of worthy employers. uioor leaders are largely responsible for this un loriunaie development and are slowly pricing themselves out ot business. Sooner or later this can result in much unemployment. A tax cut will not solve this diffi culty. COMMODITY PRICES Nineteen-sixty-three will see many basic commodities sell for lower prices. Despite domestic production cutbacks for many raw materials, world supplies will continue their uptrend. I hose surpluses in world mar kets will place additional down ward pressure on commodity prices in the U. S. There will be exceptions in hybrid corn, Idaho seed potatoes, and other selected crops. Much depends upon the weather and the ability to hold over surpluses, , Prices of peaches, apples, cit rus and other fruits depend prin cipally upon the weather. Im provements in canning, freezing, and storage have been greatly advanced while the big super markets have been beneficial in stabilizing prices. The hope of the fruit growers rests in co operative advertise m cuts in newspapers and other media. Certain basic chemicals will surely decline In price due to over-production and competition from imports. The U. S. Justice Department claims to be work ing for consumers in its fights with many companies such as the dairy concerns, but in the end supply and demand will de termine the results and not leg islation or court decisions. TAXES AND INFLATION Before the Kennedy Adminis tration retires, I forecast that we will have either more taxes or more inflation. Neither, however, need come in 1963. The stock market may discount the expect ed inflation by temporarily con tinuing above 600 on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The November elections indicate Thank You-- As I announce the sale of Case Furniture store to Arnie Hed man and Dcmisio Lujan of lone, I wish to thank all my friends and patrons who have given my late husband, Allen Case, and me such fine support during our 17 years of ownership. I know that the new owners will serve Morrow county and sur rounding area very well and will add new vigor to the store. I will retain an interest in the store. With fine memories of many pleasant associations, I am SINCERELY, G that the voters want a "welfare State" anrl I believe this moans more inflation rather than more taxes. The old saying, "We cannot have our cake and eat it too," is certainlv true todav. The pIpp tions referred to above indicate that the majority of voters really believe they can have all these leiriiwrai rjenenis sucn as medi cal care for the aged, medical ana hospital payments, more social security, ptc. withnnt hav. ing to pay the bill either through increased taxes or tnrougn intia- tion. With all that is promised to young people in the form of free euucauon, conege scnoiarsnips, etc.. in fl rlf 1 i t i on tn fill thp ahnve. mentioned help, this means that the employed people, from ages so 10 oo, must carry tne entire Duraen. sometime tney will re bel. but it will not be in 19(13 al though it might come at the next presidential election. Certainly me enactment ot a Teal" all inclusive tax cut is no sum thing. It may look good to the wonting man nut not to lnves tors or employers. THE UNITED STATES DOLLAR AND COLD The purchasing power of our uouar win gradually be less, out this statement applies also to the currency of all countries. If our uouar uecunes in value tne aoi lar or temixirarllv look nrnstier ous by phony bookkeeping, the other nations will eraduallv fol low suit and we will all wind up wnere we started. The dollar will not he clpvalii ed in 1963, although the Wall Street and Lombard Street brok ers will put out propaganda to tne contrary. Now. a final word with recard to gold. The United States will continue to lose gold on balance during 1963. The only way to prevent it in 1963 is for us to ex port more good and import less inis wouiu require certain sacn fice 6n the naif nf our nnnnle. Since my trip to Africa, I have concluded that the answer is in producing more gold rather than leaving it underground. If gold had a free market, its nroduetion would increase naturally and it would men represent one ot the saiest ano most prontaDie in vestments avail able todav Another one may be uranium oxide. Of course, largo nuantitles of goiu may be lound on tne sur face of the moon which bring me to my final subject, which I nope readers will take seriously GOING TO THE MOON Nobodv will reach the moon in 1903 or in 1961, but you will see more and more about it in tne newspaper during 1964 or 1933 Do not think that thi United States will be the only country preparing tor this trip, itussia, England, France, Germany, and possibly China are preparing to day to go to the moon. With labor getting 15 cents lor twelve-hour (lav in China and with booster emdnes niirehas able abroad, China may be the lirst to m't n the moon, ( una does not need to be a member of the United Nations in order to send a rocket and three men to the moon and return. C hina trio to the moon may be financ ed bv foreign capital. China will win the territory it wants in India and ultimately get Burma miving ot "going to tne moon stocks may become a very activ speculation. The original boos tors will be paid tor hy soin government, but their operation will be left for prolit. The situ; ion may compare with our great "gold rush" In IS 19. However, it will not be limited to gold, but will also include diamonds, plat inum, and perhaps other ele ments which are not yet in ou chemistry books. Mv great grandparents were all seafaring men taking neon e trom Ni England down the East Coast of ene Lase Cardinals Suffer Pair of Losses In League Play Ione's basketball quintet ran into the high-powered oppon ents in Umatilla-Morrow league play over the week-end and suf fered two defeats, losing to Riverside at Boardman, 38 to 32, Friday night and dropping a game to McEwen at Athena, 63 to 54, Saturday night. The Cardinals have yet to taste victory in conference action this season, having previously lost to Weston. They stand 0-3 for the league season to date. Riverside has racked up a 31 mark in the league at the present time and Athena is tied with Weston for league leader ship, each with 4-0 records, lone took command in the Riverside game in the first quarter to hold an edge going into the second frame, 9 to 7, but they slipoed in the second quarter and were one point down at the half, 17 to 16. Riverside widened the margin in the third period to enter the final stanza with a 32-23 bulge. Coach Ted Talbot was pleased with the Riverside team's defen sive effort, which he credited as accountable for the victory. lone had only 37 field goal attempts but hit at a .380 clip. They just didn't get the shots. Riverside fired at the rate of .360, a little behind lone but thty controlled the boards, getting 40 rebounds to 29 for the Cardinals. Rollie Ekstrom was high point man for the game with 12 for lone, while John Partlow scored 10 as high man for Riverside. Ron Crabtree, who made only five against Riverside, came back hot against Athena to tally 25 and lead both teams. How ever, Ekstrom was the only other Cardinal player to top 10 points with his 13, and it wasn't enough. The highly-regarded McEwen quintet had four men in double figures with Bob McMillan high with 20. The first quarter made the dif ference in this game with the Scotties rolling to a 21-12 mar gin in the period. They found the firing range quickly and used a tight man-to-man defense to hold down the Cardinals. In the next three peridos, lone matched Athena bucket for bucket but could not reduce that first quarter lead. The Cardinals drilled the hoop at the rate of .385 on 19 of 53 attempts, top ping Athena in percentage, but the Scotties got 10 more shots. They made 23 of 63 for .350. Crabtree was a demon on the boards as well as in shooting for be grabbed 21 of lone s 41. Mc Ewen pulled 44. This was the last action for lone until January 4 when they will entertain Stanfield at lone. Scores: lone 9 7 7 932 Riverside 7 10 15 638 IONE 32 Martin 4, Ekstrom 12, Crabtree , K.

The astronauts say that they can make the trip to tne moon easily in less than four days. One final thought. If the Kennedy Administration gets into too much of a jam between taxes and inflation, the promo tion ot trips to tne moon may pull them out of their troubles. By enticing private capital which s now in need of some attrac tive speculative investments, this might even bring about another big stock market boom in the ate Sixties.
