Of his economic' program, out lined in a 35,000-word . message, Elsenhower said: . "It Is not a legislative program of emergency measures, for the current situation clearly does not require one. -. , Instead, it Is a program" for stimulating economic growth and minimizing any chance 'there may be of serious economic difficulty in tne future." ' He set this goal for the economy: "an increasing national Income. shared equitably among those who contribute to its growth, and achieved in dollars oi stable buy ing power."- . !. . ' .' . Alter a year -in office, he re ported national 'production at record 367 billion dollars. "Em ployment is . high, prices are steady,- and wages and profits are generally satisfactory," he said. But "there can be no certainty that the late-1953 dip in business activity will. not become a broad er and deeper movement than the "minor adjustment" thus far rec orded, ne cautioned. He described the contraction as mainly an inventory adjustment a production slowdown Intended to reduce the rate of accumulation or stocks, and continued: 'Our economy is basically strong, , . . .the current economic readjustment seems llkelv to be oner ana .sen-correcting, but . . . the situation must not be .viewed with complacency .

Acting on recommenoauuus u THE GIRL IN THE IRON LUNG is Carolyn Palmer, em ploye at J. C. Penney Co., who served as a willing model for Dr. George Adler's demonstration of the lung last Saturday. The greatest benefit of the lung, Dr. Adler pointed out, is that is often prevents polio patients from becoming , bulbar polio patients, in which the breathing mechanism becomes paralyzed. There is always danger ' of this happening, Dr. Adler says and so a patient must be in near proximity to a lung. Moving a patient to a town in, which a lung is located can mean developing bulbar polio, and the seriousness of the case is in relation to the distance the patient-has been moved. . Klamath. Falls' iron lung was purchased about a year ago, from the George Adler Jr. Memorial Fund. It is available to anyone here or in other towns if' not in use here. A lung exchange, operating through Portland, provides transport of a lung not in use in-one town to another town where it can save a life.
