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."

Bridges Favors
Merger of Uniens
New York M Harry Bridgj
eg, lefting he of the West
O Coast longshoremen sid Suaday
night he would Svor a merger
with East Coast stevedores and
the Teamsters union if it would
benefit his union.
Appearing on "TheIike Wal
O lace Irprview," TV show,
Bridges dded that "we have
q no plfs at the present time
for such a merger."
Bridges said he woufct be will
ing to do business wth James
Holla, Teamsters vice president
rring the nresidency and un
de fire by M.he Senate Labor
(Jackets committee, bridges said
he doesn't know Hoffa, but add
ed: "I think he'll be helpful to
Aibor, not harmful."
As for outgoing Teamsters
President Dave Beck, Bridges
said, "we don't think much of
him." He also said he drjpsn't
think mfbh of George Meany,
AFL-CIO prgsidegt. "He lacks in
wanting democrac? in labor,"
said Bridges, ho has beaten
five attempts by the govern
ment to deport him.
The union leader charged that
labor columnist Victor Riesel,
who was blinded by an acid
thrower, poses as a labor colum
ist "but knows nothing about
O labor."
Bridges said he h& no ob
jection to Communists holding

He said nc thought the pres

sia is better for the people than
what they had before the revo
lution. Bridges also said he was
against the use of troops in Hun

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.

The
not
Newspaper Strike
Prevents Publication
Detroit .TP Detroit's news
paper strike was deadlocked to
day as none of the city's three
large dailies published in the
face of a mailers strike at one
of them.
The vice president of the
striking International Mailers
Union Local 40, Raymond
Brown, said today he tried to
arrange negotiations with the
Detroit Newspaper Publishers
Association but was "refused"'
in his attempt.
The dispute is only between
the mailers and the Detroit
News but the publishers associa
tion, representing all three
papers, said Sunday none of the
papers will publish because un
der a joint contract, "a strike
against one newspaper is .a
strike against all."

Nevada Publisher,
Wife Killed in Crash
Fallon, Nev. (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.
