In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Let's talk about people to
day starting with John
Foster Dulles. . He's quite a
person.
For days he had been in
Walter Reed Army hospital
in Washington resting up,
according to the official ex
planation. For goodness
knows how long, he had been
commuting all over the world.
That's wearing on a 70-year-old.
I think most of us must
agree he had a rest coming.
But time ran out on him.
The Russians are acting up
again. This time about West
Berlin. Something must be
done to checkmate their lat
est deviltry. Who must do it?
Why, John Foster Dulles, of
course. This is foreign affairs,
and Dulles is America's for
eign minister.
SO HE gets out of his hos
pital bed, calls briefly on
President Eisenhower on his
way to the airport, then
climbs into a plane and heads
for Paris. He lands at Orly
Airfield, in a Paris suburb,
climbs into a car and in al
most less time than it takes
to tell it he is in a heavy con
ference with our allies in the
West Berlin business.
. Whatever else he is. he is
tough. It must be added that
he is DEDICATED.
HE ISN'T popular either
at home or abroad.
But
Dean Acheson, Dulles im
mediate predecessor, wasn't
popular. Nor was General
George C. Marshall, Acheson's
predecessor.
Why?
I'll risk a guess. For a
LONG time, the United States

A personage.
Robert Murphy, our state
department's top trouble -shooter,
tells the Common
wealth Club in San Francisco
that in proposing that the
Big Four powers pull out of
Berlin the Russians may have
"led with their chins."
What he means is that the
Russkies may have opened up
a Pandora's Box in Berlin
and MIGHT get badly stung
by the troubles that will fly
out of it. He is intimating
that they might get shoved
out of Berlin themselves.
TF JUST ANYBODY had said
that, it wouldn't be partic
ularly significant. Instead, we
would put it down, probably,
as mere wishful thinking.
But this man Murphy is a
realistic, able and RE
SOURCEFUL diplomat. He
finishes a surprising percent
age of the things he starts.
I can't help wishing that Rob
ert Murphy might sit down
in his spare time if he has
any spare time and out

New Try Made To

New York -OB- The na

tries again today to end New

strike but he said there was
"no basis at this time for opti

of the Federal Mediation and
Conciliation service flew here
from Washington to try to

the publishers of nine major

he was not sure the two teams

cinct records bearing on al
1 e g e d DISCRIMINATION
against colored voters, that
the records should be turned
over and that discrimination,
if it exists, must be ABAN
DONED.
Voting, he thinks, is one
of the "unalienable rights"
of man mentioned in the pre
amble of our immortal Dec
laration of Independence. Sen
ator Johnson, Southerner
though he is, believes it MUST
NOT be hobbled.
TTE KNOWS, of course, that
if the colored people of
the South CAN and DO vote
the troublesome problem of
integration of the races will
eventually solve itself in the
only way in which it can be
solved that is to say, by
ultimate EQUALITY.
But as an enlightened
Southerner he believes in fac
ing the future and accepting
what it brings.
Let's close this dissertation
on public men with these lines
from Josiah Gilbert Holland's
poem The Day's Demand:
"God give us men! A time
like this demands
"Strong minds, great hearts,
true faith and ready hands;
"Men whom the lust of of

Men whom the spoils of of

"Tall men, sun-crowned, who

intermittent " corrections. But,
it adds, declines should not be
severe, as the market has po
tentially strong supports
which should moderate any
reversal.
It looks for strong support
at the 500 level in the Dow
Jones industrials in event of
a reversal. On the upside, suc
cessful penetration of 572
could spur the average into
the 600s, the institute says.
The Expected
"What is expected," the
service continues, "is creation
of a broad trading range for
the general stock list. Such a
situation would be healthy, as
it would enable the market to
consolidate its rapid gains for
1958 and form a base for fu
ture advance."
It warns that the average
investor will have to act with
prudence, exercise his inge
nuity and frequently be guid
ed by expediency. Excessive
pessimism or excessive bull
ishness must be ruled out, it
holds.
"The long term outlook
with its strong growth factors
of population . increase and
technological improvement,
continues to look extremely
bright.".
The service lists the follow
ing check-list for the individ
ual investors:
"Rallies should be used to
eliminate weak stocks, up
grade Portfolios and . protect
profits in issues which have
exhausted their near-term po
tentials. "Holdings should be brought
into line with basic invest
ment objectives.
"Portfolios should contain
a good percentage of soundly
managed issues with a record
of stability of earnings and
continuity of dividends.
"Selective purchases in
under-valued stocks may be
made.
"Adequate r es e r v e s, de
pending upon individual in
vestment objectives, should
be maintained."
Promising Groups
Among the most promising
groups, the institute lists alu
minum, amusements, drugs,
electrical controls, electron
ics, natural gas, office equip
ment, paper and retail trade
mail order.
Average groups are listed
as follows: aircraft, apparel,
automotive, banks, building
supplies and equipment,
chemicals, copper, electrical
equipment, finance compan
ies, food products, glass, lead
and zinc, machinery, metal
fabricators, oil, retail trade
department stores, rubber,
soft drinks, steel and utilities.
Least attractive groups in
clude airline, brewing, cotton
products, gold mining, leath
er, railroads-eastern, shoes,
variety chains, and wool.
The institute looks for a
brighter economic picture in
1959 with the Federal Reserve
Board's production increase
rising to 145 per cent of the
1947-1949 average in the first
half. This compares with 138
in October and 126 last April.
The November figure was 141.
Corporation earnings could
be up substantially next year,
the institute says possibly 15
to 20 per cent above this
year's and that would bring
the price-earning ratio of
stocks down to about 14 from
the current 20.

Oregon May Lose
Qualify Teachers
Portland-OD-Oregon is in
danger of losing top teachers
to other states because of low
salaries, the Board of Higher
Education was told Monday.
The warning came from
Wesley C. Bellaine, president
of the Oregon chapter of the
Federation of American Asso
ication of University Profes
sors. He said a cut to 4 per
cent from a recommended 11
per cent salary increase figure
"would be simply disastrous."
The cut was recommended by
the governor's office.
Bellaine said an increase of
"at least 17 per cent" is neces
s a r y to maintain quality
teachers in Oregon.
