Kennedy Charges
Nation's Economic
Growth Stunted
Detroit - (UPD - Democratic
presidential contender John
F. Kennedy charged today
that the Eisenhower adminis
tration has stunted the na
tion's economic growth to the
extent it has cost each four
member family an average to
tal of $7,000 since 1953.
The Massachusetts senator
said in a speech prepared for
the traditional union-sponsored
Labor Day rally in Cadil
lac square that America's eco
nomic "health is obviously
down - and we had better call
for a new doctor in Washing
ton."
Wayne county AFL-CIO
leaders set a goal of 100,000
persons to pack the square for
the rally, starting point for
Democratic presidential cam
palgns since Harry S. Truman
started the custom in 1948.
Kennedy jumped the gun this
year, launching an 18-day 17
stale tour Friday in New Eng
land and appearing this week
end in California and Alaska.
An admiringly riotous
crovd estimated by state po
lice at 5,000 persons greeted
Kennedy at Metropolitan Air
port when his chartered jet
liner landed Sunday night af
ter a flight of almost six
hours from Anchorage, Alas
ka. Tonight Kennedy will fly
to Pocatello, Idaho, and Tues
day he will head on to Spo
kane and Seattle, Wash.
In his speech prepared for
delivery at today's rally, Ken
nedy emphasized problems of
economic growth. He insisted
that "under Republican lead
ership we have not been growing."
"With a really healthy rate
of growth," he said, "each
family of four would have
received, on the average, an
additional $1,800 every year
between 1953 and 1959 - a
total of more than $7,000."
Kennedy described this sum
as "$7,000 you could have had
for a rainy day, or to finance
a college education, or to take
a trip, or help buy a house -$7,000
that these restrictive
policies have kept out of your
pocket."
The Democrmlc standard
bearer said, "Economic
growth is not simply a cold,
remote statistic. It is not
enough to merely talk about."
