PIEPER United Press International OMAHA, Neb. (UPI) - A century ago an expectant crowd in a holiday mood garnered in the bottomlands along the Mis souri River. On Dec. 2, 1863, ground was broken for construction of the Union Pacific Railroad. The crowd cheered as politi cians and promoters extolled the project as "the greatest work ever projected, in any age or country." Cannon roar ed as the earth was turned with ceremonial spades. In 1B63 when the crowd of about 1,000 gathered at the vil lage of Omaha for ground breaking ceremonies, the only way west was on foot, or on horseback or aboard a jerky, back-wracking covered wagon. Or there was the months-long sea route which involved sail ing to the isthmus of Panama, a wagon ride across that strip of land and another long trip aboard another ship. But thousands had made the torturous journey, most of them lured by gold, and they had settled along the Pacific Coast separated from the friends and relatives they had left behind. War Splits Union There was another reason a political reason why this link of rails was so important a century ago. The Civil War had split the Union, and this physical connection to the Far West with railroad tracks was considered psychologically vital, Already, the Central Pacific Railroad had begun pushing its tracks eastward trom hacra- mento into the face of the tow. ering Sierra . Mountains. May 10, 1869, on the barren dome of Promontory Hill in Utah, the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific would join their tracks wth the driving of the cele brated golden spike. But on the second of Decem ber in 1863 this was all a dream which might, just might, be come a reality. Extols Project George Francis Train, a man with a uniquely appropriate name for the job, was the main speaker that day. Train, aescrmed oy historians as a remarkably eccentric crony" of Thomas C. Durant, the real spearhead of the infant Union Pacific, called the construction of the railroad "Ihe grandest enterprise under God the world has ever witnessed. He offered this proof that he wasn t kidding: bour thousand years aco the pyramids were started, but they simply represent the van ily of man. The Chinese Wall was grand in conception but built only to break the tide of invasion. The Imperial Canal was gigantic. But how limited all these things appear in com parison to an enterprise that joins together 34 states and a dozen territories." He was optimistic about the future. "Ten million of emi grants will settle in this golden land in 20 years," ho said. And he allowed that, while building a railroad across the prairie and mountains would be diffi cult, America could handle the job because she "possesses one half Ihe common sense, three fourths the enterprise and seven-eighths the beauty of Uie world." The applause and cheers of the crowd were punctuated by the banging of cannon. Brass six-pounders on either side of the river were fired at frequent intervals. There was an impressive ban quet in Ihe evening. President Lincoln was ill and had a secretary relay his good wishes to the promoters. But several members of the Lincoln cabinet sent telegrams or let tors lo he read to Ihe shivering bul happy riverbank crowd. Secretary of Slate William H Seward, preoccupied with the 'wretched and wicked insur- Tection. said with the exlen- forever afterwards impossible" because "Ihere will be no ful crum for the lever of treason to resl upon." Interior Secretary .1. P. Ush er predicted that when the Civ il War ended "thousands upon thousands" of veterans would "seek new homes and new ad ventures in Ihe vast fields of gold and other precious metals already found, and still being discovered, in such astonishing richness, throughout i the West)." The predictions may have sounded wild lo some ears in 1863. But Ihe pioneers were ex isting on (ailh that the future would be filled with miracles and bounty. The Union Pacific was built. And. like all Ihe West, it pros pered. The 1962 annual report shows total assets of more than $16 billion and more than 10, oofl miles of track. NOW YOU KNOW By United Pres.

JOHNSON'S Immediately after President financial policymakers began working with the central bankers! of the free world to create the most elaborate defense ar-1 senal for the U.S. dollar ever devised. I When Kennedy was assassinated Nov. 22, it could have 1 been a made-to-order signal for a speculative raid on the dollar. I But within minutes of the news, the free world's central bank ers flashed the warning that they stood ready to buy what-! ever dollars were dumped and arsenal to safeguard the U.S. currency. The currency gam blers knew the power they were up against. The raid didn't even get started. ' I Immediately after Treasurv Secretary Dillion took office, his staff began pushing for tax encourage them to increase their spending on new plants ana equipment. In 1962 businessmen did get tax concessions from the Treasury and Congress amounting to over $2.5 billion a year, and as one result business spending on plants is at a record now and heading higher. When Kennedy was killed, it could have been a signal for businessmen to downgrade their spending plans despite the tax incentives and the bright sales profits outlook. But so far there have been no signs of this whatsoever and 19S4' programs well may be revised upward. The tax incentives are working and business spending plans remain geared lo a bright sales-profits outlook. As far back as 1961, Kennedy began urging across-the-board tax cuts for individuals and corporations to spur our economy's growth, and the tax bill now coming out of the Senate Finance Committee is the result. When President Johnson tcok over, it could have been a signal for consumers to pull back on buying while they waited to see whether Johnson would fight as hard for Uie tax cuts as Kennedy did. But in his first address, Johnson made his strong pica for tax reduction, and the bill may be passed earlier than would have been the case under Kennedy. Con sumers are continuing to spend freely and the stimulating im pact of tax cuts is suit to come. Our economy was in its 33rd month of advance under Kennedy in November, and it's now in its 34th month of ad vance under Johnson in December. Profits and paychecks were hitting new peaks under Kennedy, will hit new peaks under Johnson. None of this belittles Johnson's superbly reassuring per formance since he took office, nor does it exaggerate Ken nedy's achievements before his death. But the key fact is that the assassination might have had a devastating effect had it occurred before the Kennedy ad ministration had done so much major work and the action of the U.S. dollar is as dramatic an illustration of this point as could be found. The instant the story broke, the world's central bankers put Ihe weapons in the dollar defense arsenal lo work. Be fore speculators could even begin to dump dollars. Ihe New York Federal Reserve Bank was in the market offering for eign currencies in exchange for dollars. Before our of ficials could even phone central bankers elsewhere, they were on the phone lo us asking what they could do to help. Before gamblers in gold could start a runup in the London gold market, the bankers were selling to keep down the nricc of the orecious metal. Meanwhile, other policy actions we have taken bolstered confidence in our currency. The whole world knows we have pledged not to devalue the dollar. Every foreign banker knows we are taking firm steps to close the deficit in our balance of payments, to stem the drain on our gold reserve, to curb the outflow of hot money. Every nation knows we are deter mined to bring our international financial accounts into bal ance. This tale of the dollar-raid-which-wasn't might have had a far different ending had the assassination taken place 18 months aeo. But Johnson has taken over at a time when Uie dollar's defenses are strong, tax incentives are helping business and tax cuts arc on the way. The luck of all of us too. Quotes From Bv UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL WASHINGTON President Johnson, telling business lead ers not to fear his administration and to help boost the econ omy by supporting a tax cut: "I am Ihe only President you have. If you would have me fail, then you fail, forth the country fails." EVREUX, France Capt. Norman Kirschman, Air Force! attorney for two Negro soldiers being court martialed for the slaying of a while airman, arguing that racial slurs were a factor: I "I am not asking you to acn.uit my boys because of their color. !
