g TEW MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday, August 19, 1937 Ruminating Editor Sees More Pronounced Recessions in Fall 's V?, I i 1 " - By ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor New York opt As you drive from New York or New Hamp shire into Vermont you get the impression of a state that has been scrub bed with a de tergent flavor erf with oil tko Arabia. There in the clean atmos onhere for deeD Elmer Waller thinking you find the old ruminator, Humph rey B. Neill, editor and publish er of The Vermont Ruminator. Every so often he looks at the stock market from his 'lofty perch and makes ponderous pronouncements. He is the fellow who believes In contrary opinion on such things as business, fiiftnce, and socio-economics. When he thinks out a good one, he sends it in. "Wouldn't want to burden you with rou tine," he says. "An autumn snap - back," he says, "is an illogical expectation this year because monn)ary curbs are definitely slowing the boom. "Second 'stage in restrictive program this fall will expose mora pronounced recessions among various segments of ec onomy. Moreover, in this stajj? consumers are likely to reflect uneasiness by curtailing spend ing and borrowing. "Price cutting and a dropping price level next in line will ad versely influence inventory pol icies, restrict full time opera tions and discourage expansion programs." And then he notes that when a boom or a slump is reversed, the economic and psychological influences that cause the rever sal are slow-acting and tardily recognized. "You would suppose the turning Indications would be noticeable at once," he adds. "but they are not because of countless complications. "There are literally hundreds of interworking parts in our modern, complex economic ma chine. It takes time for a com posite result to show up. A wide swing commences many months usually before it is gen erally a subject of every day discussion. And then he goes on to talk about our inflation. "If you don't know the cause, call it something new," he says. "A disastrous inflation up to this point has been avoided be cause of a heavy turnout of goods, he says. But there's been a further twist of the inflation spiral-top-heavy personal debts and the wage inflating power of labor unions. But in all these developments nothing new has .been added. It has simply and plainly been another instance of monetary inflation so familiar to history." American Describes Trip En Route China fEdHori note: Leaty Mover eof Brooklyn, one of the 4l American students wbo elected to travel from Moscow to Peiplne after attending the World Youth Festival, is now en route to the Chinese rommuitst capital aboard the Trans-Siberian Express- In the following article he describes the atmosphere on the way.)

Florence Chadwick Postpones Channel Swim Belfast, Nortehrn Ireland California distance swimmer Florence Chadwick today again postponed her attempt to make a record-breaking 25-mile swim across the Irish Channel to Scot land. Bad weather and high winds made conditions impossible but she said she would try again to swim from Donaghdee. Ireland, to Port Patrick. Scotland, Thurs day if the weather improves.. daily. Most of us are spending tho iime writing letters home, reading books on China, discuss ing the trip, singing or just sleep ing. Today we joined the Indian youth delegation celebrating the 100th anniversary of India's struggle for independence, Unni Krishna Menon, a cousin of the Indian defense minister, was among the delegation. For the first 24 hours, the landscape was brcfad and flat, dotted with forest farms and wooden houses. Big factories and the golden domes of Byzantine churches dominated the land scape. Everywhere peasants in em broidered blouses stood on green meadows bordering the tracks, waving and cheering to passen gers leaning out of the train windows. Many Nations On Tour The American party is travel ling with several hundred In 'diais, Australians, New Zea landers and Arabs. We are on the world's largest direct train journey, using the 4,624-mile Trans-Siberian rail road, which was started in 1891 and completed in 190S. Seen from a window of the train, the distance between Sverdlovsk and Omsk is cover ed by oceans of golden wheat, this being one of the Soviet Union's great breadbaskets. Beyond Omsk and toward No vosibirsk, the industrial capital of West Siberia, the country is largely mountainous and dotted with new industrial cities seldom visited by foreigners. The train is due to reach the Chinese frontier Tuesday. Here the railroad changes from the wide Russian gauge to the nar row Chinese gauge. Passengers will not leave their cars, which are mechanically hoisted and transferred to the Chinese track. Court Records MUNICIPAL COVRT M.

(IPi Publisher Claude Smith of the Fallon, Nev., Weekly Standard, and his wife, Ethel, were killed Sunday while trying to help a stranded motorist. Deputies were unable to de termine exactly what happened, but it appeared they were struck and killed while crossing U.S. 50 by a station wagon or a pick up truck. The Smiths, both in their 60s, were driving towards Fallon and had stopped to help Paul H. James, Rohnerville, Calif., whose car was stuck in the soft shoulder of the highway. Parking their car, the Smiths started across the highway. A station wagon pulling a boat trailer driven by Harry A. O'Brien, Reno., pulled across the center line to avoid hitting the Smith car. A pickup truck traveling in the other direction came over a slight hill and skidded into the station wagon. Deputies did not know which vehicle struck the Smiths. O'Brien's wife, Bernice, 42, and their 8-month-old son were hospitalized. Backstairs: Widely Covered Trip or rasnniman amin ternoon until 4 p.m. UP White House Writer It is difficult to tell in ad- Washington OH Backstairs vance how the public will react at the White House: When and if President Eisen hower gets away to Newport, R.I., for a vacation, it will be about the most widely covered trip of his administration. So far, 127 reporters, photograph ers and radio-television technic ians have applied to the White House for credentials to cover the vacation headquarters of the Eisenhowers. Unannounced Conference And speaking of news cover age of the chief executive, noth ing has stirred up quite as much dust in reporting circles in the past few years as the President's sudden, unannounced press con ference last week. Only 14 reporters were at the White House when press secre tary Jim Hagerty informed them that Eisenhower was waiting to talk with . them in his office. This was when Eisenhower de cided to make his dramatic ap peal for his flagging foreign aid program. As soon as the news hit the press association wires, there were some sudden arrivals at the White House gates of news men who normally do not hit the executive offices every af- to news coverage of the Pres ident or a member of his fam ily. For instance, when he was in the hospital for a heart at tack back in 1955 at Denver, there was a seeming insatiable public appetite for news of his condition. But the public boil ed over with indignation when one of the medical bulletins was quite accurate in describ ing the President's bodily func tions. Thousands of letter . writers blamed the newspapers, when actually the announcement was made by one of the President's doctors and through his White House offices. 1 A somewhat similar situation developed last week end in con nection with surgery undergone by Mrs. Eisenhower at Walter Reed Army hospital. A lot of mail rolled into the White House in a hurry, complaining bitterly about front page display and broadcasting regarding her op eration for a rather common fe male disorder. A number of letter writers complained that the first lady should be entitled to whatever degree of privacy she desired. It still is true, however, that there would be a much ereater public outcry if any effort were made to hide an illness of the President or any member of hU family.
