Business Conditions Offer Fodder for
Debate by Presidential Candidates
Washington - IUPD - Will the
presidential candidates get
mileage out of business con
ditions between now and elec
tion day? Here are the pros
pects: Vice President Richard M.
Nixon, the Republican nomi
nee, can point to record pro
duction, incomes and jobs.
But Sen. John F. Kennedy,
the Democratic nominee, may
find political ammunition in
unemployment which h e
considers high and in per
sistent pockets of poverty in
some areas.
The contenders are likely
to find themselves campaign
ing in this kind of economic
situation: overall business ac
tivity rising slowly, without
much pep but also without
any great danger of deep de
pression. Possibility of Recession
That is the way most econo
mists see the economy for the
rest of 1960. Some experts
say there is a possibility of a
recession - a downturn in
total output of goods and
services - in the first part of
1961. Others expect continu
ation of the gradual rise.
Best bets now are that total
outputs will rise from the
record $505 billion annual
rate reached In the spring to
a $515 billion rate by the end
of the year. Most of the $10
billion pickup is looked for
in the fourth quarter, with
high production of 1961 mo
del autos a major booster.
Unemployment, which nor
mally dips to a seasonal low
in October, is expected to de
cline well below four million
by election day. Nixon has
said that unless the jobless
total "moves over 4.5 million
it does not become a signifi
cant issue in the minds of a
great many people." Neverthe
less, Nixon is likely to pledge
efforts to improve the jobless
situation.
Kennedy believes u n e m
ployment is high for a sup
posed period of prosperity. It
was 4.4 million in June, or
S'A per cent of the labor
force. Economists expect
seasonal declines for July,
August, September and Oc
tober. But the experts, and
employers surveyed by the
labor department, do not an
ticipate any cut in unemploy
ment greater than the season
al pattern.
Democrats also like to con
trast this year's 5 per cent un
employment rate (so far) and
1959's 5lA per cent rate with
the 1955-57 average of 4.3 per
cent.
Working for Nixon and the
Republicans is the fact that
output and incomes are higher
than ever before. But Demo
crats are sure to remind the
voters of the two business re
cessions since Eisenhower be
came president in 1953. The
administration's tight money
policies brought on the slumps
and dangerously crimped the
nation's economic growth,
Democrats say.
The Democratic platform
pledges a 5 per cent growth
rate and "an end to the pres
ent high-interest, tight-money
policy."
Nixon, asserting that there
is no one best rate of economic
growth for all circumstances,
has said he favors "maximum
sustainable" growth.
Inflation is another vote
getting issue each candidate
hopes to make the most of.
Kennedy's view is that the
E i s e n hower administration
failed to keep prices from
rising while it saddled busi
nessmen, taxpayers' and con
sumers with higher interest
rates. But Nixon defends the
Eisenhower record on infla
tion as better than former
President Truman's.
The two candidates are
most sharply divided in prin
ciple over, government spend
ing. Kennedy charges Eisen
hower put budgetary consider
ations ahead of the nation's
needs. The Democratic plat
form promises or Implies
heavier federal spending for
defense, schools, housing and
other programs.
Nixon is understood to be
less economy -minded than
E i s e n hower, although he
backs the President's fervent
belief in "fiscal responsibil
ity." The Republicans answer
to Democratic spending pro
posals is a disavowal of "gov
ernment intervention" in the
private economy. Instead of
spending, the federal govern
ment should stimulate private
enterprise and state and local
government to do the job, Re
publicans say.
Both candidates favor bal
ancing the federal budget in
good times. The Democratic
platform pledges to do this
with existing tax rates. But
Kennedy aides say higher
taxes may be one of the "sac
rifices" the Senator has said
he would ask of the Ameri
can people. Campaign pres
sures probably will force him
4i;
FINN TWIN SUBDUED Round two of the
"Flying Finn Twins" case features George
Finn fighting with authorities who drag him
off to jail to serve 15 days on an old traffic
warrant. Earlier in the week officers en
gaged in a similar fight with Charles Finn
whom they arrested in error, thinking that
Charles was George. (UPI Telephoto)
to be more specific. .
Nixon has sDoken of tax
reform and . reduction next
year - but only as a possi
bility, not as a certainty. He
said in Mav he would not
during the campaign unquali
fiedly promise a tax cut.
Neither candidate has come
out yet with a specific, over
all tax program.
With business neither rous
ingly good nor depressingly
bad, economics is not likely
to displace foreign policy as
the major issue of the cam
paign. But if unemployment
lags in coming down from its
usual summertime bulge
which will not be known un
til figures for July, August
and September are in - tha
Democrats may find they
have a bonus issue.
Psychiatrist
Records Whines,
Wheezes, Burps
San Francisco - (Science
Service) - Now psychiatr'sts
have a way of recording for
future study a patient's
grunts, bellows, whines,
wheezes and even burps.
The sound of a patient's
voice often conveys more in
formation to his psychiatrist
than does the words he used.
If the patient says "I'm feel
ing fine, Doctor," but says it
in a tearful voice, the psychia
trist will ignore the words and
. listen to and take note of the
tone of voice. Dr. Peter F. Ost
wald of the University of Cali
fornia School of Medicine
here describes a method of
recording non-verbal noises In
the Archives of General Psy
chiatry (Aug.).
Probably the most accurate
and detailed way of record
ing these human sounds that
are not speech is by speech
spectrograph", but this meth
od is expensive and requires
a highly skilled interpreter, 1
Dr. Ostwald points out. He I
recommends, as a simpler
method, one standardized by ,
acoustical engineers for the I
measurement and analysis of I
noise.
A microphone is placed in
front of the patient's mouth
and his sounds are recorded
on tape. Then a small seg
ment of the tape Is played
backwards into a sound an
alyzer. The result of the sound an
alysis is plotted on graph
paper to show the frequency
(pitch) of each sound and also
the volume. Four different
kinds of voices were disting
uished by the analysis.
First was a "sharp" voice.
This is the kind usually call
ed a nagging, insinuating,
querulous tone of voice.
As many people might ex
pect, this kind of voice came
mostly from adult women pa
tients. One of the records,
however, was made by a 10-year-old
boy with a behavior
disorder.
A "hollow" voice, the sec
ond kind showing up in the
records, is often described as
a flabby, rattling, quavering
voice. Three of these records
came from senile men and
the fourth from a young man
whose brain was injured in a
motorcycle collision.
What Dr. Ostwald calls a
"flat" voice is a smudged, lus
terless, hesitant way of speak
ing. The fourth kind of voice.
called the "robust" voice is
the voice known as extrovert, I
aggressive, and confident. The I
records of robust voice ob
tained by Dr. Ostwald were j
obtained from professional !
men and women, some known '
for their excellence at teach
ers or lecturers. j
Laos Royalists
March on Capital
Bangkok, Thailand - IUPD -Royalist
troops were reported
marching on the administra
tive capital of Vientiane in
Laos Wednesday to put down
a leftist pocket revolt against
the pro-Western government.
The counter-attack was be
ing mobilized from Luang
. Prabang, official residence of
King Savang Vatthana, about
140 miles to the north of Vien
tiane, the reports said.
Prime Minister Tiao Som
sanith was believed to be in
Luang Prabang helping direct
the operation, although most
members of his cabinet fell
into the hands of the rebels
and now are under arrest. 1
