Anti-Inflation Moves
To counter the threat of inflation, the 11 other
Federal Reserve regional banks are now expected
to follow the lead of the Federal Reserve Bank of
San Francisco in raising its rediscount rate. The
Federal Reserve Board last week announced that
it had authorized the California bank to increase
its rediscount rate to 2 per cent from 1 per cent.
Bankers throughout the country were reported
to have been surprised by the move. Yet it could
almost have been considered predictable.
m For all that the Federal Reserve Board is an
independent agency, responsible only to Con
gress, in recent years it has appeared quite re
sponsive to the monetary policies of the Eisen
hower administration. And in his press confer
ence of Aug. 6, the President had used language
in expressing his fears of inflation that in other
times might nave been considered exceptional.
COR example, he described the federal deficit
for the next fiscal year as "horrible." And he
said of the prospective deficit that it "must be the
highest one, and we must go back from there."
If labor and business continued year to year push
ing wages and prices and profits up beyond rea
sonable limits, the President said, "just as sure as
you are a foot high, one day the American con
sumer is going to rebel . . . and we will get some
thing that we don't want."
The Federal Reserve Board's authorization of
a higher rediscount rate in California was the sec
ond anti-inflation move it had taken this month.
On Aug. 4 it had increased to 70 from 50 per cent
the margin requirements for buying stocks and
bonds.
The desired effect in the move affecting the
stock market appeared to be largely psychologi
cal. It was merely reversing a step taken in Janu-
flrV whpn tVtt PVrlorol Rooonro Rrovr1 vaAwnaA
the margin requirement for stock transactions to
50 per cent from 70 per cent.
DUT now the anti-inflation machinery the Eis-
enhower administration has principally relied
on appears to have been set in motion again.
The rediscount rate is the fee that regional
banks charge for lending funds to commercial
banks that are members of the Federal Reserve
system. When it's raised, the cost of borrowing
automatically goes up.
Last Nov. 14, the Federal Reserve system be
gan to lower the rediscount rate in a reversal of
policy unprecedented since World War II. Only
14 weeks earlier the rediscount rate had been
raised.
CINCE November, the Federal Reserve -Board
cut the rediscount to 2 per cent in January ;
to 2Vd per cent in March and to VA per cent in
April. As the "Fed" has pointed out: "The will
ingness and ability of banks to expand credit
during a recession period resulted largely from
active steps taken by the Federal Reserve Sys
tem to foster conditions of credit ease."
This of course was only one feature of what
must be viewed as a remarkably short and odd
recession. Even more unusual is the fact that in
the midst of widespread unemployment, neither
prices nor wages were lowered to any great ex
tent, prices indeed rising during most of the busi
ness slump. E.R.R.
Billboards on Federal Roads
The quantity and quality of roadside adver
tising "consistent with national standards" was
prescribed by Secretary of Commerce Sinclair
Weeks this week. This doesn't mean that states
must follow the Weeks or any other federal pre
scription. THe highway act of 1958, like the one
of 1956, gives each state freedom on restricting
billboards.
. Only states that do restrict them in accord
with the Weeks regulations are entitled to get
from Uncle Sam 90 1 2
cent of the construction
aid roads in the interestate system. And even so
the act permits certain kinds of signs within 660
feet of each side of the new roads without dis
qualifying a state from the extra 12 per cent.
The signs allowed are
official ones; (2) advertising the property for
sale or rent; (3) announcing some "activity"
being conducted within 12 miles; (4) purely in
formational ones. On Aug. 12 Secretary Weeks
gave a Senate Roads subcommittee some of his
ideas on how such signs would meet "national
standards."
MONE at all would be allowed within two miles
of a road interchange,' then' perhaps half a
dozen for the next three miles, thereafter an av
erage of one per mile. The maximum size would
be 70 square feet, allowing for only a relatively
small billboard.
However, businesses within the 12-mile limit
could get together and erect "informational" cen
ters adjacent to the federal roads. These centers
would list, the nearby enterprises, provided no
brand names were used, and presumably would
also offer rest, eating and toilet facilities to at
tract the tourist. Pro - billboard Senators de
nounced the Weeks preview as too restrictive.

FAREWELL TO SOME

days of summer and of Con

Of the six
R e p u b 1 i can I
Senators who
are voluntarily
are leaving one
political office
in the hope of
William s. white entering anoth
er. They are William F.
Knowland of California and
William E. Jenner of Indiana.
Knowland, of course, is run
ning for Governor of Califor
nia. And Jenner is widely
supposed to have his eyes
turned upon the Indiana state
house. Another Senator, Irving M.
Ives of New York, has long
and valiantly fought illness.
He will now fight his battle
freed from the heavy pressure
of official Washington. His
platform will be a simple one:
To recapture his health, rath
er than his office.
But to the three other Sen
ators their good-byes to the
Senate have a special finality.
For over these three Alex
danr Smith of New Jersey,
Ralph E. Flanders of Ver
mont and Edward Martin of
'Pennsylvania age has won
an inevitable victory.

with faithful precision by
these three old gentlemen
now nearing the end of the
road.
Smith is a member of the
centrist party faction, which
maintains ties alike with Old
Guard Republicanism and the
"modern" Republicanism of
the Eisenhower Administra
tion. Flanders is over on the left
a liberal or "modern" Re
publican all the way.
Martin is over on the right
an Old Guard Republican all
the way.
Thus, time's attrition has
hit the party with mathemati
cal, impersonal fairness in
striking down one member of
each of its three wings..
THERE is among them no
exact representative of all
three. But if only because he
has been in the middle so
long, Smith could be said to
be most nearly so. v

Try and Stop Me
By IENNETT CERF '
MAGGIE OTLAHERTY cherishes loving memories of a maid
she once employed whose heart was big but whose know
ledge of English was sketchy. Her name was Mary.
Two constant topics of
complaint in Mary's life
were the pesky you-clipped-us
trees (the way they were
always unletting themselves
all over the patio) and her '
15-year-old son Alvin. "Al
vin is no better than a juven
delinsky," she said, "He
plays hockey from school.
The toooning officer says I
left him too much to his
own vices."
Finally. Mary reported
that Alvin, "that scrounger
had "flowed the coop, and
good ribbons" probably to "join the army under a consumed
name." She then bustled off to prepare some yackatizers and a
mushoing yonlet with a little skrig of parcelry.
Maggy O'Flaherty says she. can still hear Mary singing in the
kitchen, "Over MIL. over dale, and those capon! go rollin'
along."

spots from her husband's trousers two ten-spots and a five.

COM3 REACH THE PEDALS I
upon the Senate, a forum and
a club almost unbelievably
loved by its old members, are
the moderate sentiments of a
moderate man.
"How do I feel as I get
ready to leave here?" he re
peats a friendly question.
"How do you suppose? I am
sad. And all this I shall miss
always. But it is better this
way, isn't it, than to stay on
here and slowly to deterio
rate? I am seeing my 78th
year approach, and I have
learned what all of us must
learn."
This thing which all of us
must learn Smith does not
bother to define. He simply
waves a thin and aged hand.
And one can see the years
marching through these Sen
ate lounges and remember
those great old men who have
stayed there sometimes too
long and too late. They lived
finally only upon the memo
ries of past powers patri
archs holding vast respect to
the end but carrying only in
honorable intent, not in true
effectiveness, the brutal bur
dens of these times.
BUT precisely because he is
moderate and nerhans a
little fuzzy in believing that
not every political question or
turn in the circumstances of
life must have a desperate
and immediate a n s w e r
Smith now turns easilv from
another and a welcomed task.
His hope is to help bring to
gether, perhaps as a Presiden
tial 'adviser or intermediary,
the extremes on what he sees
as the greatest issue of our
era.
This is the racial issue. For
this, Smith believes not in
more laws and more force; he
believes in patience and per
suasion. It may be that his
mind is wrong in this for he
is a man who shrinks from
ultimate force of any kind.
But it would not be easy,
knowing him; to think his
heart is wrong.

Israeli Sources Believe 'Stick' Needed
To Deter
BY ELIAV SIMON
UPI Correspondent
Tel Aviv, Israel (UPD In
formed Israeli sources believe
the best the West can hope
for now in the Middle East is
a measure of co-existence with
Arab nationalism, just as in
Europe and elsewhere the
West co-exists with Russia.
But this is only possible,
these sources say, if, in the
Middle East, as in Europe,
the West has a deterrent to
further expansion.
President Eisenhower's re
cent six-point plan outlined at
the U.N. gives no indication
of erecting such a barrier. It
dangles a tempting and very
costly carrot before the eyes
of the Arab nationalists, in
the form of massive economic
aid designed to win its "good
behavior."
But no whip has been bran
dished as an alternative
should the carrot fail' to
achieve its purpose as these
sources believe it will.

Sunday Guard Duty
To the Editor: This is not
really directed to the editor,
but to the wives and families
of the National Guardsmen of
this area.
When our husbands enlist
ed in the National Guard they
were told in effect, "You don't
have to enlist in the Army or
be drafted to fulfill your mil
itary obligation: you may drill
two hours a week, and train
for two weeks each summer
and stay at home with your
families, and not have to be
away from your homes. You
can plan your lives, buy
homes, go to school and lead
jyour life as you wish and the
government win accept tnis as
doing your part for the pro
tection of our country."
Now they wish to change.
The Guardsmen are directed
(at least in this area) that they
are to report at the Armory
every other Sunday at 7:30
.a.m. to drill until 5 o'clock in
the evening, and will be paid
for two drills for doing so.
This constitutes hours ev
ery other week. It means in
many cases that the men will
have at the most two days a
month to be with their fam
ilies. It means that the many
chores a husband and father
has to do will have to be
crowded into Saturday, if they
are not working on Saturday,
and into a couple of Sundays
a month. It means that many
children' will see practically
nothing of their fathers, and
that they cannot take them to
church. Sunday in the United
States has always been a legal
holiday, set aside to worship
and be together as families.
I urge all of you who do
not like this situation to voice
your opinions . . . write to
your congressmen, and sen
ators, and to Governor
Holmes who is the chief of the
Oregon National Guard. Ask
your minister or priest to do
so also.
Complaining to your neigh
bors never-did get any action,
and griping won't change a
thing. No use blaming the of
ficers here for it, either, as it
came from way above their
heads, and I don't imagine
their families like it any bet
ter than the enlisted men do.
Don't put it off. Sit down
and write to Congressman
Porter. The more letters he re
ceives, the better case he has,
and we elected him to voice
our opinions and wishes to the
government of the United
States. It is his job, but he
can't do anything without our
help. .

She Suggests Homework .
To the Editor: Don't you
know better than to believe
all you read in the paper, es
pecially your own?
When you state categorical
ly "the national convention of
the Daughters of the Ameri
can Revolution thinks the
whole idee of a responsible in
ternational organization is
subversive," you display your
abysmal ignorance of the
facts.
The National Society Daugh
ters of the American Revolu
tion was one of the first or
ganizations to support the
United Nations in its original
form and has continued to do
so, with less and less enthusi
asm it is true, as year by year
the U.N. became as you say
"a debating society."
To quote repeated resolu
tions of the NSDAR, "We con
tinue to support the United
Nations organization in its or
iginal purpose as a group of
sovereign nations working to
gether for world peace and
understanding, and to oppose
its threatened conversion into
Added Losses in Arab Sphere
A 'Spiritual Link'
These quarters base their
thinking on the premise Arab
nationalism is implacably and
irrevocobly opposed to the
West, just as Russia is, and
that it will do everything in
its power to eradicate the last
vestiges of Western influence
from the region.
This is the "spiritual link"
between Cairo and Moscow.
' Large economic aid will not
buy off this hatred, but can
only help it on. And even if it
would only be used to further
the drive to eject the West
from the region. This is the
Israeli view.
Because of "this Arab hos
tility, even the most altruistic
offers of U.S. help, though
given through the framework
of the U.N., will be interpret
ed as "Western economic im
perialism." At the same time,
the smallest Russian loan,
given at strictly business rates
of interest, will always be
greeted with loud trumpet-
a world government."
Surely, that does not bear
out your assertion that the
NSDAR "thinks the whole
idea of a responsible interna
tional organization is subver
sive." Perhaps you had better do
some research. Draw up a
chart and start with the chief
architect of the United Na
tions, Alger Hiss, and with its
ghost writer, Dalton Trumbo.
Keep a tally of the num
ber of times the Soviet has ex
ercised its .veto as compared
to that of the United States.
The score stands 82-1.
Sit down with the United
Nations charter and the con
stitution of the USSR and red
pencil the identical phrases
and ideas.
As women opposed to so
cialism or communism on ei
ther national or international
scale, we find the ramifica
tions of the myriad agencies
now operating under the aegis
of the U.N entirely at vari
ance with American ideals
and principles and contrary to
its much-publicized purpose.
That this highly specialized
world machinery has been
channeled into other paths is
fast being recognized, even by
some of its original ardent ad
vocates. No, the NSDAR does not
"think the whole idea of a
responsioie international or
ganization is subversive'." It
does believe that a respon
sible international organiza
tion of sovereign nations
should be dedicated to mak
ing peace and stamping out,
not coddling, either Commu
nism or dictatorships.
Is an organization which is
powerless or unwilling to op
pose the forceful extension of
Communist slavery calculated
to bring world peace? Must
the United States eventually
be faced with the choice of
world slavery or world war?
I would suggest you do a lit
tle homework.

The same is true when Rus
sia supplies the U.A.R. with
arms, obliges Egypt to mort
gage its cotton crop, and then
unloads the crop at rock-bottom
prices elsewhere, spoil
ing Egypt's normal export

Drawn No Line
The West is able to co-exist
with Russia because it pos
sesses the supreme deterrent
of nuclear retaliation in the
event of further encroach
ment. But in the Middle East
the West has drawn no line
which Arab nationalism has
been warned it will cross only
at its peril, Israeli quarters
feel.
These sources believe the
ultimate fate of Jordan re
mains unaffected by anything
the West has done in recent
weeks. The days of Hussein's
regime are numbered and
there has been no let-up in
subversive activity and plot
ting there, mainly with the
aid of agents from across the
border with Syria.
These sources believe, how
ever, one of the few stabiliz
ing factors affecting the situ
ation in Jordan has been the
knowledge that if King Hus
sein's regime were over
thrown Israel might play an
active role, occupying at least
part of that country.

In the Day's News

There is an interesting little
tale in the news. I'm afraid
it's too good to be true, but
it would be wonderful if it
COULD be true.
At any rate
The teletypes tell us
Fourteen , Russians are to
get their first look at Amer
ica. The 14, the correspond
ents say, are NOT athletes or
diplomats or entertainers.
They are described as just
plain, ordinary Russian tour
ists who have PAID THEIR
OWN MONEY TO SEE
AMERICA.
They are bemg billed as
the first "plain tourists" to
visit Ameriqa since the com
munist regime in Russia be
gan. They will be in the U.S
for 14 days.
W1
HAT will they see?
I'm afraid that's where
the rub comes. The story
starts off:
The tourists arrive in New
York by plane today, but the
planned sight - seeing will
begin tomorrow. They will
board a bus that tours China
town, Wall Street, Harlem,
the Empire State building and
the United Nations.
Their two weeks of seeing
America will include trips to
Washington, Chicago, Buffa
lo and Niagara Falls. An in
terpreter is accompanying
them to explain things as
they go.
SEEING AMERICA?
I wonder.
Here in the State of Jeffer
son we're fairly extensive
trevelers. Many of our people
who will read this piece have
toured New York City in a
bus including Chinatown,
Wall Street, Harlem, the Em
pire State building and the
UN. They have gone on tours
to Washington, Chicago, Buf

Is that SEEING AMERICA?

Iraq still remains some
thing of an enigma. The coup
there was, of course, by Nas
serists, but it is still not clear
how far it was under the di
rect control of Nasser him
self and how far its leaders
will act independently. While
there is a close spiritual affin
ity between Cairo and Bagh
dad and both share-the same
aims, a number of considera
tions, some of them economic,
might make the Iraqi leaders
hesitate before throwing in
their lot completely with
Egypt.
Russia Eyes Iran
While Russia can rely on
Nasser to continue his disrup
tive work in the Sudan, Lib
ya, Arabia and the Persian
Gulf, she herself, it is be
ieved, will begin to take a
closer interest in a country
on which she has always cast
greedy eyes Iran. With the
crumbling of the Baghdad
Pact, Iran is now in a vulner
able position, sandwiched be
tween Russia herself and Rus
sia's Arab nationalist pro-,
teges.
Three countries Turkey,
Iran and Israel now bar the
way to a complete Russian
link-up with Moscow's Arab
nationalist allies in the Middle
East and along the northern
fringe of Africa. Unless the
West can insure that these re
maining friends of hers are
backed to the hilt, then not
only the Middle East, but Af
rica itself is in danger of
falling victim tothe Russian
advance.
JENKINS
Russian visitors will see in -a
guided tour of that sort isn't
the REAL AMERICA.
That suggests these ques
tions: What is the real America?
How should it be seen in
order to get an accurate pic
ture of what America is and
what America is like?
SEVERAL years ago a Paris
magazine, Realites, sent a
man -and -wife team, Pierre
and Rene Gosset, to the U.S.
to see what makes our coun
try tick and what Americans
are like.
They didn't stop in New
York. They left their plane
in Kansas City. They bought
a used car, and started out
on their own. They were for
tunate in that (like so many
Europeans) they speak Eng
lish. They shied away from
the tourist centers and the
big hotels. They stopped at
motels along the way. Being
charming people themselves,
they got acquainted with
everyday Americans. They
were invited into everyday
American homes. They were
guests at home town neigh
borhood parties.
In that way, they traveled
from Kansas City to the Pa
cific Coast and back to K.C.
When they got back to Paris,
they KNEW AMERICA and
they wrote a series of pieces
for their magazine that pic
tured America ACCURATE
LY to the French.
THAT'S the kind of tourists
we need. Especially the
kind of RUSSIAN tourists we
need. If we could get enough
of them, we could get the
REAL AMERICA understood
in Russia.

Of course. But one has to
dream at times.
