Auto Credit
"Moral suasion" appears to be the Federal Re
serve Board's "kicker" in
direct controls over consumer credit. Recent FRB
moves toward "hard" money have included raising
re-discount rates, upping margin requirements for
stock purchases, and using its open market operations
to pinch off some of the credit stream. Now FRB is
"talking turkey" to finance companies and banks
about the growing consumer debt.
Total consumer credit is at an all-time high o:
more than $32.2 billion. Consumer instalment credi
stands at a record of $25
some analysts see the greatest danger some $12.6
billion is outstanding on
The FRB earlier had
to maintain a close check

company officers in Washington. The next day it was
the bankers turn to get the "word from the FRB.

The controls lapsed on Nov. 1, 1947, but Regula

Animals On The Loose
Wild animals that break out of circus, pet shop
or zoo usually don't prove as wild at first as the
human beings they excite by their chance meetings
in the open.
The inevitable cry of "Call the cops!" fills the
animals with an overpowering urge to be off rather
than return to their pens."
Taxing the Washington
lot slipped from a pet shop and stalked for over a
week among homes and woods around the Naval Ob
servatory, the National Geographic society recalls.
The tropical American wildcat nimbly dodged police
shotgun blasts, dashed in and out of yards. Woodland
traps were baited with halibut fillet; but all the police
caught was a strong downwind whiff of fish. Coon
dogs were put on the cat's trail. They found only the
fish-laden traps.
After nine days of tree
wisp ocelot, its sleekness
back to the pet shop.
IG cats on the loose have always worried police.
Circus escapees have
human lives. Thousands of volunteer searchers, Mar
ines, helicopters, planes, and specially trained dogs
failed to find a leopard on vacation from the Okla
homa City zoo. The staff finally captured it with
doped horse meat a meal it did not survive.
JACKIE, a young male lion, was a lesser problem.
After bolting from New York's Madison Square
Garden, it wandered into the basement and went to
sleep. It was safely caged in time for the matinee.
A kangaroo, fresh from its Baltimore TV debut,
proved less docile. It inconsiderately departed the
studio and lit out across the city. Sunday drivers
snarled traffic at the sight of the animal with such
outlandish manner of travel. Once this Australian
"Leaping Lena" soared over an auto hood. It bit one
pursuer, kicked the wind out of another during its
one-hour fling at freedom.
For carefree abandon, no creatures outdo monkeys
on a spree. They disregard property rights, to say
nothing of human rights throw fruit and vegetables;
stage barefaced jungle antics on city streets. One
even broke up a corporation meeting. A baboon re
moved the seat of a policeman's pants while he was
chasing another simian miscreant.
CEVENTY-FIVE rhesus monkeys in a New York pet
store stormed their keeper as he loosened a cage
door. Pouring into the Washington Market area, they
invaded offices and disrupted a boys' choir practice
Five hundred monkeys and 24 parrots fought a battle
royal on a plane between Cairo and London. Three
hundred monkeys worked loose on an Azores-New
York cargo plane which swooped into La Guardia
field with chattering faces at the windows and the
crew confined forward.
Reptiles often slither into the headlines. Several
snake charmers' cobras uncoiled oh a bus near Bom
bay, India. Panic wrecked the vehicle. "Old Pete,"
an 18-foot python, was'15 days "on the lam" from
the zoo at Fort Worth, Texas.
Four timber wolves gave authorities a different
problem. Reared in captivity, they refused to go wild
in a special preserve on Isle Royal, Michigan, set
aside for their vanishing kind by the United States
Fish and Wildlife service. Twice liberated, the beasts
nonetheless returned. N.G. v ,

By ROGER W. BABSON
Babson Park, Mass. (Special
to Mail Tribune) How sound is
our present prosperity? How
long can it last? These are ques
tions that many readers have re
cently asked.
These readers
are in some
instances peo
ple who have
been buying a
"great many
things on cred
it, and in other
instances
small business-
Boger w. Babson men who won
der how far they should go on
expanding.
Back in 1929 there were about
10,000,000 radio sets in the U.S.;
today there are 125,000,000. That
is more radios than are owned
by all the rest of the world. To
day 90 per cent of our homes
have mechanical refrigeration;
back in '29 only 4 per cent of
our families had mechanical re
frigerators. Today 42 per cent
of our population are high school
graduates; in 1929 only 13 per
cent had high school diplomas.
Today we are spending $15,000,
000,000 for recreation three
times as much as 25 years ago.
Today we have 28 passenger cars
for every 100 people, compared
with 19 per 100 in '29; and the
number of cars per family is
rapidly increasing.
Perhaps most significant of all
is the fact that 25 years ago
there was some $84,000,000,000
of life insurance in force; today
the amount has climbed to $285,
000,000,000! It is estimated the
total income of all Americans
exceeds the total combined in
come of all the 600,000,000 peo
ple in Europe and Russia. With
less than 7 per cent of the land
area of the globe and little more
than '6 per cent of the earth's
population, we now manufacture
about half the world's goods. It
looks as if we never had it so
good.
What Causes Prosperity?
Our prosperity started from
the tremendous pent-up demand
for goods and services that fol
lowed World War II. Our pros
perity could never have since
ballooned to its present size had
not our government so greatly
expanded our national debt by
releasing enormous supplies of
money. This keeps the economic
machine running smoothly, but
in turn taxes us all to the teeth.
Some economists have said that
if we do not want our heaw
debt, with both hish orices and
high wages, then we cannot have
full employment and so-called
prosperity.
The thing that makes us ap
pear so prosperous is that we
are all livme off our rich
Uncle," who, in order to keep
up appearances and not let us
down, has borrowed so heavily.
Some day, however, all of us
relatives" will have to chiD in
to bail Uncle out. Bv his heavy
borrowing, Uncle made it pos
sible for us to buy homes with
little or no down payment and
with installments running 30
years; to stockpile agricultural
surpluses which the farmer can't
sell; to build vast new road sys
tems and other public works
projects; to provide military ex
penditures beyond the compre
hension of man. Uncle Sam has
done all this by borrowing from
the future money which he can
never repay. He borrows; he
spends; he taxes; and then
spends it over again. It's a wild
merry-go-round.
Will Prosperity Continue?
In 1953, Joseph Dodge, then
the Director of the National Bud
get, said that our national pros
perity could be likened to the
status of a family that had for
years lived well beyond its
means; had only three times in
20 years provided itself with
more receipts than it had spent;
had acquired a debt four times
its yearly income; and owed
more than a year s income on
C.O.D.'s that will have to be
paid for on delivery. How good
would you consider your own fi
nancial condition if yours were
such a family? This is the con
dition of the national family of
which we are a part.
There is nothing dishonest
about this, it can continue to go
on for many years more: but

atmosphere of "belief" has
grown out of the summit con
ference. But Knowland said there has
"not been a single instance" of
the loosening of Soviet Inspired
tensions "that were present
prior to the Geneva conference."
He cited as his proof:
1. Failure to unify Germany.
2. No agreement yet on a for
mula for control of nuclear war
fare. 3. No change in the Russian
control of their satellites.
4. No change in the use by the
Communist government of sub
versive techniques to disrupt and
overthrow free governments.
Knowland warned against a
"Far Eastern Munich" which
would give Formosa to the Chi
nese Communist government.
Prosperity
some day there can be a col
lapse. Our prosperity is in part
an artificial prosperity, artific
ial because it is fed by enormous
government expenditures.
Should the government with
draw the fantastic amounts spent
for stockpiling, subsidies, public
works, and the like, we can be
sure our prosperity would wane.
On the other hand, if we choose
to continue to live on borrowed
money, money which our chil
dren some day must pay back,
we can continue for a while long
er to have good times at our
children's expense. Some day,
sometime, somehow, someone
must "go through the wringer."
I repeat, this day may be years
ahead; but once in a while I do
like to remind my readers that
this prosperity game cannot last
forever.
In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
As these words are written,
the American Bar association is
concluding the last session of
its 78th annual meeting. This fi
nal session is a luncheon. It is
being held in five tents erected
on the mall in front of historic
Independence Hall in Phila
delphia. Independence Hall can be ac
curately described as the birth
place of the American Republic,
for it was there that the Decla
ration of Independence was
signed on July 4 of 1776. It was
in Independence Hall that the
Constitution of the United
States was adopted on May 14,
1787.
It is a historic spot. .

IX.
ERNMENT OF LAWS, the
annual convention of the Amer
ican Bar association is an im
portant event in our country.
More than 4,000 lawyers are in
attendance at Philadelphia.
The association's guests of
honor are President Eisenhower
and Chief Justice Earl Warren.
President Eisenhower declared
that today America is engaged
in a crusade for peace and has
expressed his confidence that
the Geneva conference of chiefs
of state means an opportunity
to advance toward a peace based
on justice and SECURITY.
RUT-
He added
This country can never accept
Russian wrongs to men and na
tions in our eagerness to avoid
war.
fFHAT, I think, -is a statement
-- to whffch we can all sub
scribe unhesitatingly.
We want peace.
But it must be peace
with
honor.
It mustn't be the peace of ab
ject surrender. That isn't peace.
It is slavery. The peace of slav
ery is what follows when men
are willing to accept an aggres
sor's wrongs to men and nations
rather than FIGHT FOR WHAT
IS RIGHT.
TNDEPENDENCE Hall Is a fit-
ting place for such a declara
tion by the President of the
United States of America. It was
in Independence HaU that the
Founding Fathers met to - de
clare that they would FIGHT
rather than submit to the
wrongs imposed upon them by
an unjust king.
They meant what they said.
They did fight.
But they got what they want
ed which was freedom. And
they founded this nation which
is now the Defender of Freedom
throughout the world.
I think we can all go along
with President Eisenhower's
statement made out in front of
Independence Hall that the
United States will never accept
Communist wrongs to men and
nations because of eagerness to
avoid war.

Who am I?
Much of my life is spent bask
ing and dozing. Although dis
tantly related to camel, antelope,
and giraffe, my legs are so short
that my ample belly barely miss
es scraping the ground. A pow
erful swimmer, I take my young
'un for piggyback rides. Most of
my hair is concentrated on the
end of my foot-long tail.
In prehistoric times I frequen
ted lakes and rivers throughout
the greater part of the Old World
. . . even up England's Thames
valley. Today, I am confined to
one land-mass, Africa.
We usually live either in fam
ily groups of a few individuals
or in herds that seldom exceed
25.
What with my barrel-shaped
body, stumpy legs, terminated
by four toes, short thick neck,
small eyes, I'll never win a bath
ing beauty contest.
I can float like a log or sink
like a rock whatever I choose,
and I can run along the bottom
of a river at eight miles an hour.
Although the rest of my body
may be submerged, I still keep
the top of my flat face above
water and therefore see with
protuberant eyes, breathe with
nostrils on top of my . massive
snout, and hear with my small,
rounded ears.
When hot, excited, or in pain,
I exude a thick reddish -brown
fluid which keeps my thick hide
pliable and safe from drying to
the cracking point in the sear
ing sun.
Head Weighs Quarter-Ton
My square head weighs a quar
ter ton, and my beUow matches
it. The canines of my lower jaw
sometimes reach a length of 30
inches about one-third of which
protrudes beyond my gums.
These "ivories" may weigh from
four to seven pounds each and
do not tend to yellow but, be
cause of their hardness, they may
splinter. I can shear through the
hide of a crocodile or sever a
man with one bite.
An enormous feeder, I can
devour from five to six bushels
in one meal. I get most of my
food from the lake or river bot
tom or along the banks.
When mating, the four-ton, 14
foot long bulls which stand four
and a half feet at the shoulder,
may turn savage and fight bru
tal battles for the possession of
females. At birth, the single calf
weighs about 100 pounds.

Mobile Telephone Servico
Now Available in Medford
Mobile telephone service is
now available m the Mediora
area, it was announced recently
by Pacific Telephone Manager
J. H. Creager.
The new on-the-spot communi
cations setup was introduced
Aug. 15.
Creager said this service per
mits both local and long distance
telephone conversations be
tween any properly equipped
vehicle and any other telephone
in the Bell system.
The' communication-on-wheels
arrangement was- first intro
duced in Oregon in the Portland
area in 1947, and later in Eu
gene, Salem, Roseburg, and
Bend.
30-Mile Radius
The approximate range of the
local service is west to Grants
Pass, north to near Prospect,
East on Klamath Falls highway
to Pinehurst, and south on High
way 99 to Siskiyou summit a
radius of about 30 miles.
A transmitter station on Baldy
mountain and a control terminal
in the main telephone building
have been established. Operators
handle switching and signalling
details of calls.
Equipment in each vehicle
consists of the proper type two
way radio set with antenna and
power control switches, a push-to-talk
type handset telephone, a
small lamp, and a bell for visual
and audible signaling.
This is how it works:
Placing a call from a fixed
telephone to a vehicle, the party
lifts his receiver, dials "Opera
tor," and asks for the mobile
service operators. He gives her
the assigned number of the ve
hicle he wishes to contact. The
mobile operator dials the proper
number, sending out a radio car
rier wave from the. transmitter
station which actuates the lamp
and bell signals on the instru
ment panel of the desired ve
Nixon Says Soviet
Peace Sincerity
To Be Tested Soon
Philadelphia (U.R) Vice
President Richard M. Nixon
warned last night that the test
of Russia's sincerity for peace
would be shown by Soviet lead
er's action in the next three or
four months.
Nixon told the 78th annual
dinner of the American Bar As
sociation that the upcoming for
eign ministers' conference may
determine whether there is a
"real thaw in the cold war, or
just a brief warm spell before a
big freeze."
Nixon said the Geneva meet
ing succeeded in establishing a
conciliatory atmospnere ' in
which there was hope for pro
gress towards internati onal
agreements. But he warned that
the United States must maintain
strong defenses and not allow the
West to be divided.
Policies Said Working
"One of the major reasons for
the change in Soviet tactics was
undoubtedly the strength that the
free world had developed. Our
policies of strength and firmness
were working. Now is the time
to continue them, not to change
them," Nixon said.
He declared that if Russia
really wants peace, it should take
six steps: Agree to free elections
and unification of Germany and
Korea, withdraw Chinese
Communist troops from Korea,
free satellite nations, agree to
President Eisenhower's aerial in
spection plan, curb Communist
organizations in free nations and
remove the barbed wire, land
mines, watch towers and ma
chine guns of the Iron Curtain.

Chamber Board
Hears Plans for
Hospital Campaign
Chamber of Commerce board
of directors yesterday heard
campaign plans for the Rogue
Valley Memorial hospital. They
were outlined by L. D. Barr.
Barr is head of the Barr Meth
od of Financing firm, specializ
ing in leading fund drives for
hotel and hospital projects. He
has been hired to head the hos
pital campaign here.
Medical Center
The new 80-bed institution
could make Jackson county a
"great medical center," Barr
stated. Lives are going to be
saved here that are lost in trans
portation to Portland and other
centers under present conditions,
he declared.
"It will be strictly commu
nity owned and controlled," the
campaigner stated.
During the drive, Barr said,
nobody will be "put down" for
a donation amount. Subscribers
will not pay annual dues:
Barr warned the chamber of
commerce group to bewafe of
propaganda. "If there's ever any
question," he urged, "come fip
to headquarters. Nothing in this
is concealed."
In the regular order of busi
ness, the chamber board heard
a budget report for the first
seven months of 1955 by Frank
Bash. The organization was well
under its's budgeted $24,126.56
(pro-rata or amount provided for
