Suitable for Play
Pullman, Wash. - NOT - The
director of the high school
summer camp play at Wash
ington State University said
today he is having no prob
lems with the costuming of
the cast.
The director, Del Carson, is
staging the play, "Rebel
Without A Cause," a produc
tion that deals with teen-agers
and juvenile delinquency.
"I just tell them to come as
j they are. They couldn't be
costumed more perfectly,"
i Carson said.
AFRICAN PLAN HEARD
Geneva - ItlPU - United Na

met informally Sunday with
UN officials and heard de
tails of the African nation's
plans to try to expel South
Africa and Portugal from the
United Nations, informed
sources said.
'IFFY' WEEKS , ,
We are now into the 'iffy' weeks when two developments
about which no one can be positive today, will decide the
degree to which the business uptrend slackens this summer.
The economic upturn will continue and the 1961-? ad
vance has now entered its 29th month. Thus, it has just
beaten the 28-month average life of all peacetime upturns
since World War I. Its duration is well ahead of the 26-month
average of all peacetime upturns of the past 100 years.
There's still life in it. '
It's inevitable, though, that the pace of rise will slow
in this July-September quarter. The question only is to what
extent, and these are the two big "ifs":
(1) How much will users of steel draw down stocks they
accumulated in the months before the non-strike steel settle
ment and thereby force cuts in steel production that will
curb the upswing? The expert belief is that the decline this
year will be less severe than that following the 1962 steel
accord, but "Iron Age" estimates that about 4 million tons
of steel must be squeezed out of inventories before the steel
market returns to normal and "Steel" forecasts that steel
production this month will be 25 per cent under June's total.
(2) What will happen to the tax reduction-reform bill
now that the civil rights crisis has befuddled the outlook for
all legislation? If, after this prolonged build-up, Congress
fails to put through a substantial tax cut for corporations and
individuals effective January 1964, the blow to confidence
could be significant. If, however, Congress passes major tax
cutting legislation, psychology would be buoyed, actual spend
ing would be boosted as the tax cuts take place.
The lie between what the consumer has in his pocket to
spend and what he spends is indisputable. The willingness
of businessmen to increase their investments in new plants
and equipment when they get tax relief has been dra
matically illustrated by the way they are raising their
spending this year in direct response to the incentives given
lhem in 1362 via liberalised depreciation rules and the
lax credit.
Not at any time during the 29 months our economy has
been expanding have we been in a boom. The upturn has
sent to all-time highs industrial production (particularly auto
output), retail sales, employment, profits, paychecks. But it
has not been powerful enough to cut into our unemployment
rate. It has not been strong enough to push prices out of
their remarkably long-lived range of stability.
Now we are into the weeks of hot summer and even
though most of the barometers by which we measure our
economy's condition are adjusted for this season, the sum
mer doldrums do have a psychological influence. On top of
this are the "ifs" - uncertainty about tax legislation and about
the extent of the decline in steel production.
Our economy cannot count on a new burst in your spend
ing as a consumer. You have been the hero and heroine of
this advance and from the start your free spending and bor
rowing have put a rising floor under business. But you can
not be expected to hike your rate of spending much if any
beyond today's rate unless and until you get tax reductions
which will leave extra spending dollars in your pocket.
Our economy can count in this second half on increas
ing spending by businessmen on plants and equipment -and
this is to be a key factor oifsetting the drop In steel
output. Businersmen are scheduling investments in plants
and equipment at a $40 billion annual rate this quarter,
a $41.3 billion annual rate in the fourth quarter - up 8Vi
per cent from the last three months of 1962.
Even the most optimistic cannot see where the next great
spur to our economy will come from unless we get major
tax reductions.
Even the pessimists agree tax reductions would encourage
corporations to spend more on modern, cost-cutting, competi
tive plants and individuals to spend more on goods and serv
ices across the board.
The case for reductions in our oppressive tax rates so that
our economy can continue expanding and finally can grow
up to its potential is as persuasive in July 1963 as it ever
has been.

Plywood Prices
Highest in Years
Portland OIPD Plywood
prices have climbed to their
highest point in recent years
under the pressure of increas
ed demand and decreased pro
duction. They may go even
higher this week.
A Crow's Lumber Digest
market report said that sand
ed plywood was selling for $76
per thousand Friday. It pre
dicted an $80 market early
this week.
Sheathing and unsanded
items on the S-8 basis have
reached a peak of $102 to
$104. .
A Douglas Fir Plywood As
sociation production report
showed production of sanded
items down to 80.6 million
feet for the week because of
the industry strike-lockout
and plant shutdowns for vaca
tions. Demand rose an addi
tional 12.1 million feet during
the last' week.

Ex-Aerial Ace
Finds Challenge
In New Job
By DON SWANSON
New Orleans (UPD Advanc
ing years and injuries have
grounded former aerial acro
bat Sid Alcido, but he has
found a new job Jo keep him
interested.
Alcido, now 56, was a tra
peze artist for nearly a half
century until an automobile
accident in 1959 ended his
career. During his heyday he
performed in all parts of the
world -at World's Fairs, be
fore kings, queens and emper
ors. He was known as one of the
Aerial Alcidos.
Today he makes his home
in New Orleans and is in
c h a r g e of maintenance and
operation of a ride at the
Lake Pontchartrain amuse
ment park - a job which he
considers a challenge.
Has Job
"For the first time in my
life I have a job." he said. "I
never considered working on
the ropes a job. And my job
here enables me to meet a lot
of show people - many of
whom I used to work with."
Sid began aerial acrobatics
when he was-seven years old
and remained in the business
for 45 years.
"There were 11 brothers in
my family and all of us per
formed on the ropes," he re
called. Exciting experiences? Yes,
indeed, Sid had his share.
"One of the things I will re
member longest took place in
Germany in 1939," he said.
"We had just performed be
fore Adolf Hitler and after
our performance Hitler came
to the dressing room. So did
Hermann Goering and Erwin
Rommel. They spoke to us
and it is an experience I will
never forget."
The most enthusiastic crowd
ever to see Sid perform was
in Caracas, Venezuela, in
1941.
First Act
"It was the first aerial act
to play in Coney Island park
in Caracas and on opening
night about 40,000 people
turned out," he said. "When
I had done my act they
screamed and grabbed at me,
tearing on my clothes and
screaming 'bravo, bravo'."
Sid had his share of tum
bles, the worst being at Bos
ton where he was with the
Barnum and Bailey Circus,
"I was doing the iron jaw
act at the Boston Garden and
slipped," he said. "I fell into
the back row of seats and was
hospitalized for three years
and four days. I broke just
about everything but my left
arm and doctors said I'd never
walk again."
Broke Ankle
Another time he fell at
Coney Island in New York
and broke an ankle.
In 1954 his brother, Leo,
was killed in a fall at Chi-
ceiio. Other members of the
Alcido family have retired,
like Sid, but there are still
a half-dozen performing on
the ropes.
Only once in his long aerial
acrobatic career was he
scared, Sid said, and admitted
he was scared stiff.
"It was in Milwaukee," he
said. "I was swinging and just
getting ready for my jump
when one of the girls in the
act shouted your ropes are
loose.' My brother, Leo,
pulled me back in.
I went through with my
performance, but when it was
all over I really was scared.
I blacked out for four or five
seconds-the only time I was
ever scared."
The end to Sid's career
came in 1959. He had com-
pie ted a performance at
Huntsville, Ala., and was en
route to Winston-Salem, N. C,
when a tire blew out on his
car. He was badly injured.
Thats when I came here
looking for a job," he said.
"I got this one and I like it."

College Offers More
Than Random Courses
Moraga, Calif. - IUPD - St.
Mary's College, a four-year
liberal arts school located in
a verdant valley 25 miles east
of San Francisco, is trying
to give Its students more than
just "random courses in the
humanities."
The college, which has an
enrollment of about 800, has
recently introduced courses
designed to give students an
idea of the relationships
among the arts, sciences and
social sciences.
The school offers an "inte
grated curriculum" to some
students. Such a curriculum
is intended to give students
an idea of the links between
science and mathematics, on
the one hand, and history,
literature and philosophy on
the other.
All students also must take
a course in "Great Classics,"
which introduces them to
Freud, Marx and Einstein as
well as Plato, Aquinas and
Shakespeare.

Bridges Sprout in
Busy Pittsburgh
By ALBERT FAUSTINO
United Press International
Pittsburgh - (UPD - Bridges
seem to pop up out of the
earth in Pittsburgh.
There are so many of all
sizes and types that Pittsburgh
often is called the "city of
bridges." In the city alone
there are about 300. In Alle
gheny County, of which Pitts
burgh is a part, there are an
estimated 1,760.
One reason for the large
number ot bridges is that
Pittsburgh grew up around
two big rivers the Mononsa-
hela and the Allegheny. They
meet to form the city's famed
"point" and the mighty Ohio
River.
Pittsburgh's first bridge, a
covered wooden one, was built
over the Monongahela in 1818
when the city had a popula
tion of 6,000. It burned down
in 1845 when the city was
swept by a disastrous fire.
Built Suspension Bridge
The following year, John
Roebllng, the engineer who
later directed construction of
the Brooklyn Bridge in New
York, built a suspension
bridge on the same site, using
the original stone piers.
Roebling's suspension bridge
was replaced in 1883 by the
present Smithfield Street
Bridge, one of the main ar
teries from the South Side
into the city's Golden Trian
gle, or downtown area.
One of the city's most his
torical spans is the 2,365-foot
Washington Crossing over the
Allegheny River. Built in 1924
at a cost of $2,869,700, the
bridge commemorates the first
president s crossing of the
river on a surveying trip in
1753. He nearly perished in
the ice-filled Allegheny when
a raft capsized.
One of the men most closely
connected with the city's
bridges is Paul Gruber, head
of the Bridge Division for the
Bureau of Highways and Sew
ers.
Gruber explains the city's!
many bridges this way:
"It's a city of hills and ra
vines and we try to cross ev
ery one of them."
The city's bridges range in
size from the 2,840-foot Man
chester span to the newest but

smallest 40-foot Baio Street
Bridge over a small creek In
the South Hills area.
There are many smaller
spans of 15 or 20 feet but
Gruber says that technically
they are not considered
Driages.
"They are known as cul
verts," Gruber says.
Although the Smithfield
Street Bridge occupies the sits
of the city's first bridge and
nas mucn Historical signifi
cance, it often is a source of
dismay for visitors.
Its a two-part bridee. Ona
side is for cars and the other
for trolleys. The trolley tracks
are of the railroad type laid
on heavy ties.
Three or four times each
year an unsuspecting out-of-town
motorist gets trapped on
the tics. The last victim was
a woman from Connecticut.
Police say she holds the rec
ord for bumping over the tie
before her auto came to a
shuddering halt.
Her comment to police offi
cers was a tearful:
"I hate Pittsburgh."
