Common Slooks

NEW YORK (API Common
stocks are odds-out favorites with
the pros who handle the personal
trust accounts in American bank
and trust companies.
The Trust Division of the Ameri
can Bankers Assn. estimates to
day these funds total 49 billion
dollars. And the banks have in
vested 3(P billion of this, or 62
per cent, in common stocks.
But who's responsible for the in
vestments makes quite a differ
ence.
Of the .10 billion in common
stocks, Itfli billion is in funds
where the bank has no invest
ment responsibility or shares il
with others. Where the bank has
sole responsibility, the common
stock holding comes to 12 billion
dollars, or 39 per cent of the total.
Since tlje survey of the funds
as at the end of 1958 was the first
to be made, ABA has no compari
son figures. It cannot say if the
amounts in common stocks have
been rising or falling, or il the
total in trust accounts has been
growing.
Tho survey is based on a sam
pling from 121 selected trust in
stitutions with a total of 185.000
accounts. ABA says the estimates
should be accurate within five per
cent.
The report sheds light on some
of the investing habits of Americans.
According In ABA figures, the
nearly 500 billion dollars in trust
funds compare with about 277 bil
lion in the market value of all
common stocks listed on the New
York Stock Exchange, with 86 bil
lion dollars in reserves of life in
surance companies (less premium
notes and policy loans).
The report lists 60 billion dol
lars in time deposits in commer
cial banks, 48 billion in savings
and loan associations lless shares
pledged against mortgage loans or
investments by the U.S. govern
ment, 34 billion in time deposits
in mutual savings banks and 13
billion in mutual funds held by
open-end companies.
Americans have many other bil
lions invested in various kind of
government bonds, in corporate
bonds, in pension funds, and in
real cstalc.
In handling the personal (rust
accounts, ABA says, the banks in
addition lo common stocks have
invested nearly eight billion dol
lars in state and municipal se
curities; 2'i billion in U.S. gov
ernment securities: almost as
much in corporate bond and de
bentures: 2'j billion in preferred
stocks; 671 million in mortgages
and,2'4 billion dollars in partici
pation in common trust funds.
These are funds authorized by
law to be established by a trust
department to combine money be
longing to various trust accounts
in its care. There are more than
3(10 of these in Ihe nation. They
aim at cutting investment han
dling costs.

WASHINGTON (UPI) - A Sen
ate secretary with a number of
years service behind her was
stopped the other day by a Capi
tol guide with the suggestion she
might profit by taking the offi
cial tour of the building.
"I can't do it today," she
hedged, without denying his prcm
ise. "I don't have on my halter
and shorts "
Officials say it isn't actually
mandatory that tourists wear next
to nothing when they visit our
law factory here. On the other
hand it has become obvious in the
recent hot spell that they aren't
required to wear anything much
more than that either.
Several summers ago House
members got so distracted by
what the visiting ladies weren't
wearing that a rule was imposed
banning shorts in the galleries ex
cept where worn by girls un
der 10.
There is no evidence that at
tendance fell off among the House
members. However, it was ascer
tained within a few days that
dozens of the rejected visitors not
only were over 10 but over 21
and were registered voters in
some congressional district. So
that rule was repealed.
Now. the rule for visitors in
both House and Senate galleries
is come as you are. And several
lawmakers have been heard late
ly to comment on the number ol
women who appear to have re
ceived this message while out
taking the sun. -
Male and female, the taxpayers
are visiting the Capitol again this
summer in droves. And more than
one jostled statesman has been
moved lo observe, as he beat his
way through the corridors, that
some of Ihem acted as if they
owned the place.
"Where are all the memhers of
Congress?" They usually want to
know alter finding only a dozen
of Ihe House's 436 members, or
Ihree of the Senate's 98, on the
House and Senate floors. The an
swer is, they are in the ollices
answering letters from home, and
attending to other such priority
chores.
'Where is Ihe President?" Is
another all-time favorite inquiry,
a sad commentary on what they
must be teaching in the civics
classes back home. This one is so
standard, in fact that the guides
now try to head it off by an early
announcement that the President
lives and works at another local
tourist attraction, called the White
House.
The Capitol tour takes 35 min
utes and I don't know anywhere
else you can pick up so much
history for 25 cents. There is also
the chance you will bump into
somebody whose name you can
mention on the postcards you
write to your friends.
One presumed student ol the
current political scene, aged
boul 10. was spotted recently
hanging around the entrance to
elevator marked "senators
only." After the passage of
enough orators and presidential
prospects lo satisfy the most ar
dent celebrity hunter, somebody
linally asked this visitor what he
had on his mind.
"I'm waiting to see Harmon
Killcbrew," he is said to have an
swered.
Another elevator, I am embar
rassed to say, is marked press
only." A lady observed Ihis sign
above the call button and asked,
"What do they think we are going
to do, pull it?'
When apprised that the sign
meant the elevator was reserved
for us newsmen, she asked, with
some reason, how come? "Be
cause nobody else wants to ride
with us." a harassed reporter re
plied.

L'PI White House Reporter
WASHINGTON (UPI Back
stairs at the White House:
Alter President Eisen h o w e r
leaves oflice in 1961, he might
live in Washington a good part
of each year.
In act, there are some well
founded rumors to this elfecl
well-founded to the extent that
several persons normally quite
familiar with the activities of the
Eisenhower family have been talk
ing guardedly about essentially
the same story.
Generally, their version isf his:
The President and his wife will
lake an apartment in one of
Washington's leading hotels and
live there on a more or less
permanent basis. This would not
mean their being in actual resi
dence all of the lime in- Washing
ton, but .their apartment would be
headquarters.
Naturally, they're expected to
spend some time at their farm in
Gettysburg, but somewhat as they
do now frequent week ends and
more protracted periods several
times a year.
A 12-months-a-year diet of Get
tysburg could be quite lonely for
the Eisenhowers, and being gre
garious people they're not ex
pected to go into hibernation on
the farm come Jan. 20, 1961.
There is one report that the ho
tel apartment has been selected
and reserved. In addition to com
fortable living quarters, there
would be a combination study
and office for the President and
working space for a secretary.
II this is true, it sounds like he
might be planning to write an
other book when he leaves office.
On the other hand, it could
mean nothing more than a sensi
ble preparation to cope with the
flood of mail that follows a chief
executive long after he departs
from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Here in Washington, Ihe Eisen
howers would be close to a num
ber of old friends. They could
make trips lo New York and Au
gusta, Ga., directly from the na
tion's capital without the slight,
but added detail of having to trav
el first from Gettysburg which
has no air or railroad passenger
service.
This could he more than a
casual consideration, because aft
er January, 19H1, there'll be no
fleet of limousines and helicopters
at the disposal of the family ex
cept what they provide for them
selves.
If the President continues to
play golf a good bit after he
leaves office, he'd undoubtedly
prefer the nearby Burning Tree
Club lo the Gettysburg Country
Club where he knows compara
tively few of the members.
For reasons known only to
Ihem. the White House Staff al
most never announces the fact
more ollen than nol, Ihe Presi
dent goes back lo his oflice in Ihe
late afternoons lo work some
more after he comes in from a
round of golf. This part of his
working schedule barely gets any
attention.

194th day of (he year, with 171
more days to follow in 1959.
The moon is in its first quarter.
The evening stars are Mercury,
Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
On this date in history:
In 1787, Congress passed the
Northwest Ordinance, setting up
the first organized government
outside Ihe 13 original states.
In 1863, opposition to the injus
tices of Ihe draft law flared into
riols and virtual anarchy in New
York City. Before the riots were
over, more than 1,000 persons
were killed.
In 1865. Horace Greeley gave
(his advice to federal civil serv
ants: "Washington is not a place
to live in. The rents are high, the
(nod is bad. the dust is disgusting
and Ihe morals are deplorable.
Go west, young man, go west and
grow up with the country."

Emerson said. "Who so would be
