OHt-CiON 14 d pits!;! hit. - By DICK WEST Washington - JPH - One of the most distinsuislied mem bers of the press corps here is a ubtquil ous eorrespon d e n t known to his friends and c o m p a- IrintK HK "Ihe f r cctoaders. We called him jc$v;a "Diamo n d r fyl John." lie west came by his tilic by virtue of having dined gratis fur 10 slraighl nights on anchovies and goose liver canapes, which are to a Wash ington cocktail parly what gun wadding is to the field artillery. This was in 1958 and the record still stands. I doubt it will ever be broken, for free loading seems to be a dying art. A really talented free loader is almost as rare nowa days as a zilber tuner. Most of the old-timers who developed the modern tech niques of frceloading arc now on ihc inactive list, having been rendered hors de combat by a few too many hors d'oeuvros. Occasionally, they will come out of roliromenl and flash some of their old form. But it's apparent that they are a step slower than they used to be and lack the stamina for regular par ticipation. In our business, it's axio matic that freeloaders never come back. Members of Ihc younger generation seem to lack the heart for frceloading, at least nf the championship caliber. They will give it a go if the spread promises to be lavish enough. Otherwise, they don't bother to show up. A freeloader simply can't be selective and still stay in the peak of condH'on. Ac ccpling the good with the bad is the mark of a true profes sional. I have soon many of the newcomers buying their own drinks, which is grounds f o r disqualifica tion. What is worse, some of lhem stand treats, which is tantamount to throwing the game. No wonder President j Kennedy is concerned about 1 the youth of America grow I ing soft.

"After all," he said, "two can freeload as cheaply as I one." Homer Stamp Is Available al PO Bill Hikes Age For Buying Tobacco Salom-imi-A bill to raise the minimum ago for buying tobacco Irom 18 to 21 has been introduced by Hep. Ken Waher iR-Purtland). Itlaher said the national health problem posed by cigarette sin. king "is now so clear and so serious" that steps must be taken "to pre vent children from becoming addicted to this habit before they are really old enough to exercise mat'irc judgment." Maher sari the bill also would "slop Ihc promiscuous sale of cig-iretles through vending maceines." It was Maher two years ago who tried i.nsuceessfuUy to raise the nvnimtiin driver's age from lti 'o 18.

(This is the first of two articles on economic growth) Greater economic growth, growth, growth . . . This theme has highlighted each of President Kennedy's mes sages (his month, and the acknowledged need for it under lines his urgent pleas for substantial tax reductions in 1!IM t4. his extraordinary public acceptance of an unbroken line of huge budget deficits running into l!Xi(i-ti7. Just what is economic growth'.' As a patent, you know what growth in your child is and what to do to help your child grow. As a gardener, you know how a flower grows and how to nurture thai growth. But what is growth in an economy and how do we spur this? iWth a superb assist from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, in this and tomorrow's column. I'll try to brush aside the bafflegab and explain the key problem of growth facing the United Stales in lOlilt in our language. What is economic growth? It is an increase in the total amount of goods and services available for each individual in our country. It is not, as many economists say, simply a rise in the value of our total production of goocl.s and services (gross national product). For a rise in Hie value of O.NF can be caused by inflationary price rises. When population increases' faster than GNP's value, we're not growing either. For then, while we could be producing more, each individual would have less to consume. ' "The best measure of economic growth," as the Phila delphia Reserve Bank .says, "is real growth (deflated lot price increase) per capita." What has been our growth record? In recent years, disappointing slow. From 1!)46 to 1957, real GNP per capita (meaning with price increases eliminat ed) rose only 2 per cent a pear. Since 11)07. the rate rise has been only 0.6 per cent a year, fins is why we have so high an unemployment rale and .so much slack in our in dustrial production now. Other industrialized nations West licimany, f ranee, Italy, Japan have been growing far faster than we have. Russia's growth rate has been much more rapid too. With our mounting labor lorce and .vorltl rep.sensibilities, our growth rate has been unsatisfactory by every acceptable standard. How docs an economy grow? In spurts. In the IHLit) and lll.'llls, our country grew rapidly because of the trade upsurge inspired by the canal building boom. The federal government helped that bctam by building the canals. In lite late Hlth century, there was another upsurge because of the railroads. The government helped that boom by its land grants. In the !!)2t)s, there was an upsurge due to the automobile. The government helped that one by paying lor roads. During wars, growth also is stimulated because production of munitions is speeded up, and by spending more money Hum it takes in the govern ment puts extra dollars into our pockets. During each surge, private enterprise has sparked the growth, but Hie federal govcrimio.il's incidental help has played a big role too. Now. in !Mt;:t, tile federal no eminent is urging action spceilically tax slashes lor the primary purpose of accelerat ing growth. This time the govoi iiment's action is not incident al to other purposes winning a war or providing tacilities for a boom. This lime the goal in itselt is growth. What are the ways a nation grows? There are Iwo basic ones. When an economy is "undir weight." operation In-low its cap.H-it, tcneing to stagnate, and joblessness is high, the immediate aim is to grow back to a lull eioplox mi-Ill level. This, says Hie Philadelphia Hank, "is desirable growth," because "it more people go to work, there should lie nunc goods and services produced tor each person in the country to enjoy." The second kind ol growth is a "lone-run thing,' akin to the way a child glows taller and luilhls pom- and muscle. Here the aim is to add to a nation s over all anility to produce. In the Inst kind ot grow th, the v-oiil is using existing capac ity; Today, we arc aiming al bolh kinds ol growth.
