The old saying, "Woman's place is in the home,"
is being revised.
Out of the 63 million or so employed persons in

employed 15 years ago, according to a Fortune maga

Nearly half of the married women in the 45 to 55

By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
The week's good and bad
news on the International bal
ance sheet:
The Good
1. Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles said In Washing
ton that the whole Communist
world had been shaken by the
official Soviet Russian disclosure
of Josef Stalin's crimes. Speak
ing at a press conference, Dulles
said that non-Russian Commu
nist parties had shown "a very
high state of dissatisfaction" with
the present Kremlin leadership.
. . The ties that have . . .
bound these local Communist
parties to the Kremlin have
been very much shaken and
loosened," he said. Dulles assert
ed also that there is even "grave
discontent and dissatisfaction"
in the Russian party Itself. He
hinted that the leadership of
Nikita S. Khrushchev, leader of
the party, might have been weak
ened.
2. Gen. Nathan F. Twining,
chief of staff of the Air Force,
did some plain speaking after
his arrival in Moscow on a visit
to the Soviet air force. He said
at a reception that the United
States "completely disbanded'
its armed forces after World War
II. It was then necessary. Twin
ing said, to build the forces again
for the Korean War. "We are
not going to reduce again until
we are sure of world-wide arms
control," he said.

Babson Reports Ways
Of Market
By ROGER W. BABSON I
Babson Park, Mass. The only
way I have made money in the
stock market has been by sell-
ing stocks and
taking profits
at times like
this, deposit
ing the money
in banks, and
waiting until
the bottom of
the next de
cline. Wh en
the market
crash finally
Roger w. Bmbton
comes, I buy stocks.
In this way I am not a specu
lator, but am like the ice man in
the North who gathers ice in
wintry weather and stores it up
for people to use during the
summer. This same principle, in
reverse, applies to those who
can fruit and vegetables in sum
mer when they are about to
spoil.
We all perform a real service
and are entitled to be rewarded.
We have the courage to sell
stocks or buy fruit when others
lack the courage to do so. People
who go with the crowd make
conditions worse. Those who go
contrary to the crowd are in a
position later to make conditions
better when there Is much un
employment, no new building,
and when commodities are sell
ing below cost.
Another Service
Others make money in the
stock market by performing
another kind of service that is
by helping new industries when
they are unpopular and taking
profits when these industries ma
ture and are popular. Those
who follow this second program
have the additional advantage
of diversification. They also al
ways keep their money working,
whereas, under my method, my
money is idle about a third of
the time.
Buying into new Industries
each year and selling the stocks
of a few maturing companies re
quires much research. Any in
vestor who desires to follow
such a program should be pre
pared to pay an investment
counselor for selecting these
new industries. Furthermore, al
though General Motors, for in
stance, has been a gold mine.
yet there have been scores of
other automobile companies
which have gone bankrupt. It
is necessarv both to eet into the
right industry, and also to buy
the stock of the right company
within that industry.
University's Program
Although swapping maturing
industries for new industries is
exceedingly profitable when
done intelligenUy, very few in
dividuals or even institutions
have the ability and courage to
act on this principle. One col
lege, however, has had a most
interesting experience in this
connection. I refer to Wisconsin
university, which, on its typical
board of conservative coUege
trustees, had also some bright
chemists and engineers. These
younger men so failed in getting
the conservative board to adopt
a more courageous investment
policy that they formed a sep
arate trust The Wisconsin
Alumni Research foundation.
They got together seven men
who contributed S80 or so apiece,
making a total of S585 to start
with on Jan. 1, 1926. They in
creased this small sum by the
purchase and sale of "growth
stocks" so that, at the present
time, this $585, with accumu

2. Anti-American parties won

with a market value on Dec. 31,
1955. of $36,000,000. Approxi
mately $6,000,000 received from
patents and royalties they gave

buildings and increased salaries.
I might also give the names
of individual clients which my
organization has helped along
these same lines. I could also
cite a member of my family who
during 50 years increased $600
to over $1,000,000 by putting the
dividends and profits back into
newer industries when they
were unpopular and selling these
when they became popular.
Meanwhile the fund was kept
well diversified with only
comparatively small amount in
each industry, so risk was pretty
well eliminated. All this re
quired, however, considerable
work as the entire fund was
turned over probably once in 10
years. In this case, no attention
was given to general market con
ditions or to the investment
cycle.

there is any need for the storage
of irrigation water. There is ap
proximately ten million acre
feet of irrigation storage already

high dam would have a water
level fluctuation of some 280

GOP Has Big Stake in
Steel Wage
Washington (CQ) A steel in
dustry wage raise, if won with
out a strike, would be good news
for the Republican party.
Steel plants are the nation s
biggest employers. Steelworkers
should be good targets for the
Republican prosperity theme.
Their wages have Increased
about one-third in the past three
years, and are to be even higher
after this year's contract fight
is over.
But a long strike could wipe
out most of these accumulated
gains and threaten employment
in other industries, aepenaent on
steel, as well.
Sen. George H. Bender (R-O.).
was just expressing the general
GOP concern June 23 when he
urged federal government inter
vention in the deadlocked steel
contract talks.
See GOP Boost
The Republicans feel that la
bor peace and continued pros
perity in the steel industry
would be a tremendous boost to
their chances of regaining con
trol of Congress.
Already, the GOP holds more
than half the Congressional dis
tricts where 1,000 or more steel
workers live.
A Congressional Quarterly sur
vey located 206 such districts
That's almost half the national
total of 435 districts. By com
parison, an earlier CQ survey
found 118 districts with 1,000 or
more auto workers.
Actually, the "steelworkers"
category includes workers proc
essing nonferrous metals like
copper, lead, zinc and aluminum,
too. About three-quarters of the
workers in the category are in
steel plants, and they are tied
closely to men in other metal
plants through the United Steel
workers of America (AFL-CIO).
The 206 districts where 1,000
or more of these workers live
are represented in the 84th Con
gress by 97 Democrats and 109
Republicans. : -15

Fifteen of the districts chang

A Purdue University econo
mist, taking a look into his crys
tal ball, announces this morning
that by 1979 Americans will
have an average income after
taxes of $12,000 a year.
He forgot to add a prediction
as to HOW MUCH THE $12,000
WILL BUY.
A BUSINESS consultant of one
of the big Chicago banks
(name of A. M. Strong) tells a
forum sponsored by the Illinois
Manufacturers' Association that
Contract
publican. In 1954 one switched
to the Democrats.
The Democrat with the big
gest steelworker constituency,
50,385, is Ray J. Madden of Gary,
Ind., a New Deal-Fair Deal Con
gressman who's had labor's sup
port and financial help In his
seven successful campaigns
Adjoining Madden's district is
the Illinois 4th, which includes
Chicago's big steel area and some
suburban towns. It is the Repub
lican district with the largest
number of steelworkers, 22,704.
Three times, ex-school principal
William E. McVey has defeated
labor-backed Democrats by roll
ing up suburban pluralities to
offset his 7 to 10,000 vote deficit
in Chicago's industrial 10th
Ward.
Similar Problem
In Pennsylvania's 25th Dis
trict, Democrats, with a big as
sist from the Steelworkers Un
solved a problem similar to
that faced m McVey s district,
Despite the estimated 34,902
steelworkers in Bessemer and
New Castle, Democratic candi
dates never had been able to
overcome the pluralities sur
rounding rural areas turned in
for the Republicans. But in 1954
Frank M. Clark, a former steel
union president, became the first
Democratic winner since 1938,
by an 8,500-vote margin.
Republicans hope to regain
Clark's district in November, and
seven others like it, where the
Democrats' 1954 margin-of vic
tory was less than 5 per cent
of the vote and steelworker fam
ilies hold a theoretical balance
of power. In six of these eight
districts, Republican hopes are
buoyed by a relatively large
Negro population, subject to spe
cial GOP appeals this year on
the civil rights issue.
Democrats have their eyes on
19 Republican - held districts
where the proportion of steel
worker families is greater than
the winners' 1954 margins. Mc
Vey's is one of these. But Demo
cratic hopes are tempered by
the realization that their candi
dates have probably been receiv
ing the bulk of the steelworkers
votes aU along. Significant gains
will, have to come from other
sectors of the population.
Senate Races
The steelworkers can have
big voice not only in House con
tests, but in four Senate races
where Republicans are defending
seats: Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illi
nois and Maryland.
The main basis for Republican
optimism in the big steel dis
tricts is the rise in weekly pay
in the past three years. Earnings
of steelworkers jumped from
$71.24 a week in 1952 to $9330
a week last year. The increase
has continued in the first half
of 1956.
Barring a strike and the steel
plants have been struck only 12
hours in the past three years!
the ouUook for the industry is
continued prosperity, at least
through election time.

He adds:
"The dollar shortage has prac

tries and is affecting our sales
in most countries of the world."
SUPPOSE you'll snort scorn
fully and want to know who
the heck ISN'T AFFECTED by

all use quite a few more.
Restrain yourself.
What Mr. Strong is talking
about is international trade
not American spending. The
only way foreigners can acquire
American dollars is by selling
their products to Americans.
This upper bracket business
consultant means that as of now
we aren't buying enough from
other countries to enable them
to get dollars enough to buy
from us as much of our products
as they need and want to keep
the balance of trade even.

way. If all the streets were one

until aU the cars were piled up
at one end of town. The result
of that would be a MESS.
It works the same way in the
case of trade especially inter
national trade. If all the trade
goes one way the result is a
mess that eventually snarls
everything up.
THE point is that if we want to

It's frightfully complicated.

We've been hearing a lot
lately about "tight" money.
(Money, you know, is a com
modity, and it responds to the
law of supply and demand, the
same as other commodities.)
Along that line, this little squib
about savings deposits is inter
esting and significant:
"Savings deposited in the na
tion's 527 mutual savings banks
increased 162 million dollars
during May and reached an all
time high of 28 billion, 901
million dollars. The national as
sociation of mutual savings
banks says the May increase was
29 per cent more than the gain
of 125 million dollars in May of
last year."
WHY is that important?
