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

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

add new vigor to the store. I will
retain an interest in the store.
With fine memories of many

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

ana hospital payments, more
social security, ptc. withnnt hav.

the employed people, from ages
so 10 oo, must carry tne entire
Duraen. sometime tney will re

though it might come at the next
presidential election. Certainly
me enactment ot a Teal" all

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

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

Another one may be uranium

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

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.

South America around the Horn
and up the Pacific Coast a trip
of two months. 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

Eddie Groshens
Home from Europe
Sp4 Eddie Groshens, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Vic Groshens, re
turned home Saturday from Ger
many after his discharge from
the army. He has been stationed
witnin uermany as an informa
tion specialist. He was at Stutt
gart and Berlin during the past
Ji montns, and was unable
come home during that time.
Sp4 Groshens worked on the
service newspaper, the Seventh
Corps Jayhawk, as a writer. A
graduate of Heppner High school
witn tne class oi 1958, he was
editor of the school paper here
before going to Oregon State
University as a freshman. He did
not continue his education but
decided to get in his tour of duty
in the armed service and went to
Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo., for train
ing, first as an electrician, but
later as an information specialist
In Germany he was impressed
witn tne diligence of the people,
it is not uncommon to see 80-90-year-old
women working
the fields, he said. The country
is forging ahead swiftly and the
concepts that Americans hold of
"the old country" as applied to
Europe are no longer valid be
cause the nation is modern and
advancing rapidly, Groshen
said.
He found Europe to be very
beautiful and "wonderful," and
he enjoyed his work in the army
Groshens is considering em
ployment for a short time but
hopes to reenter college soon and
may work towards journalism as
a career. He was happy to be
home in time for the holidays
and meet many friends here
again.
