TU 4-4752 ' Vvvt Film By FLORENCE JENKINS Mass psychology is an engross ing subject. Its practical appli cation is credited ' with cutting short the recession which started in the spring of 1958. The "doctor" in this case was the Advertising Council. It is a non-profit, nonpartisan business organization which serves the pub lic interest by marshaling the forces of advertising to promote voluntary, individual actions in solving national problems. The Advertising Council's "Con fidence in a Growing America" , drive last summer broke all rec ords for volunteer support of a six-months public service cam paign. During the run of the campaign, advertising media and advertisers contributed some '$25 million worth of time and space to carry the message to a wor ried American public. f& It was the largest and most con centrated volunteer information program ever staged by the Ad vertising Council in peacetime. Is there now a "vaccine" which, when administered in time, can keep small downswings from grow ing Into economic panics? Some people think so. In any event, a 14-minute color film, "Psychological Warfare Against Recession" tells the fascinating story of rebuilding of public con fidence in the American econo my's future. As everyone knows, the recession did not grow worse and public confidence increased notably as the campaign Increased in intensity. The, Advertising Council now is offering to business, civic and edu cational groups the free loan of prints of the film. The film re minds us that we weathered the storm without emergency meas ures N becuusc public confidence held steady. Applications for a print of the new film may be sent to the Advertising Council, 25 West 45th Street, New York 36, New York. We need to be reminded now and then that individual altitudes of optimism and prosperity make up the whole of the nation's ceo nomic health and well being.

Mrik's By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (AP) Each lime a strike occurs in an essen tial industry affecting the whole economy as now in steel this question comes up: Are we reaching a point where the government meaning a ma jority ol the people can no longer permit and. must forbid a strike in such an.industry? ' A strike in any industry was pretty much a private affair years ago when the government's rev enue needs were smaller and the various people, plants and " in dustries were far less interdepen dent than now. But the American society is now highly complex and interdepen dent. A strike in one big industry can send out waves that splash thousands of workers, hundreds of businesses, and maybe drown many of them. For example: This steel strike comes at a time when the nation is recovering from last year's slump. If it's short, it won't do much damage. It will do a lot if it lasts long. If the strike continues long enough, other industries will use up (heir steel supplies and have (o close, throwing many thousands out of work. As their income and the prof its of their shut-down plants are cut off, the national Treasury will suffer from loss of income tax revenue just when it is badly needed. Thus a slecl strike unlike a strike in any industry in years past Is no longer truly private. It already affects and, if it lasts long enough, could paralyze a broad part of the national econ omy. But Individual rights the right of employes to quit a job and of an employer to shut down his plant and the right of both sides lo work out their wages and prof its must be balanced against Ihe general wellarc. Thus the question: Is the Presi dent In the near future likely to propose or Congress to approve a law forbidding a strike in an essential industry? Very likely not. II would be political dynamite Both unions and employers want a minimum of government inter ference. If the government through law could forbid a strike, it would almost certainly then im pose - compulsory arbitration. This means that arbitrators an I pointed by the government would listen to both sides and give an opinion both sides would have to accept. If the government did that, out of justice it probably would have lo do more. In the end it would probably have to step in and regulate both wages and prices, which would mean regulating profits loo! That would bo true governmental con trol. Eventually it might have to Make over the industry. In 11147 Congress foresaw the SHORT RIBS national danger of a big strike some day when it passed the Taft Hartley Act. But still, while pro viding machinery for stalling off a strike, Congress stopped short of forbidding it altogether. That law lets the President pre vent a strike for 80 days while efforts are made to get both sides to reach agreement. But, alter the enforced delay, the strike can go A mi v Obsolete By" FRANK ELEAZER WASHINGTON IUPH - Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.) told the Senate this week the Army is so short of dough our boys in Berlin carry rifles 23 years old and ma chine guns from the First World War. But Asst. Defense Secretary W.J. McNeil, in his reply, said "the validity, of the shortfall" had not been established, and in the ensu ing confusion senators beat Sym ington's amendment to give the Army more money. Symington probably figured the senators just didn't know what they were doing. And Sen. Thom as H. Kuchcl (R-Calif.), the GOP whip and a key figure in the fight against the Symington proposal, now seems to have admitted this might have been so. It may be that 'shortfall' is government gobblcdygook for shortage, but I do not know," he told the Senate, having cautiously withheld his remarks until after the vote. "We are English speak ing people but I suggest that such phrases are no proof of that fact." The significance of. all this to the boys in Berlin, and the relics they may or may not be carry ing, must still be determined. Meantime, however, Kuchcl has warned military men, and govern ment people generally, lo start communicating in Ihe kind of lan guage senators understand. He said their failure to do so will lead to "unintclligence," which unfortunately is the kind of language senators unders t a n d. Some people might have said ig norance. Among the numerous local dia lects spoken here in preference to English, pentagonese, as above, is generally considered the most difficult to master. The Air Force recently came up with "encrypted," which some veteran House members were able to decipher as meaning put into code. The Army meantime made a logical advance from "dcfinitlze," which means "final ize," to "undefinitize," which must mean "unfinalize," whatev tr that means. 1 The foreign aid people "obli gate" their money, then "subob ligate" it, and despite their best clforts to get it all spent before the end of the year they owned up recently to having "unsubobli- gatcd' some millions of. dollars. 1 am informed Ihcy will explain Ihis to anybody with a couple of hours to listen. Other agencies of course are always panting to stay in the race. The Commerce Department, just Wednesday, told Congress our Merchant Marine is short ' 200 "notional" ships. The congress men had assumed what they needed was more tankers and freighters. Our lawmakers always deplore these new words, and practically always adopt them. So when Rep.

He put into Ihe appendix of Ihe Congressional Record a short speech above which was duly printed the headline he wrote "Stop flops drop crop props."

The sources for these stories seemed to rock-solid that their in formation had to have originated in the White House, and possibly wilh the President himself. In both cases, however, the re ports drew blank stares from the White House press office, even de nials that such plans were pend ing. What happened seemed to be tins: The President has discussed go ing directly to the public via ra dio and television concerning leg islative stalemates. Apparently, some of his conferees have left the White House convinced that plans were set. There is, however, a certain re luctance within the President's cirt cle of staff advisers to have him undertake full-length TV appear ances too frequently. This school ol thought reasons that he's get ting plenty of television exposure as it is through the film clips of his press conferences. At this crit ical stage of Congress, these rare ly miss a week. There's another aspect in plan ning nationwide appearances by the President as related to his legislative program. This session of Congress still has a month or more lo run and conceivably the President two or three weeks hence might find the legislative sit uation much more pressing than now. Thus, he would not want to have to make several speeches fairly close together. Even the big en tertainment stars know that this can produce declining audience re sponse. Other factors far and beyond the Congress could create the need for Ihe President's voice and face over the air the Geneva confer ence and the slecl situalion, to name two. The President might have lo keep his TV powder dry for the larger battles.
