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.

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

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.
Craig Hosmer (R - Calif.) had
something special to say this
week he went out of his way lo
make sure he didn't fall into Ihe
Imp.
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."
"Mr. Speaker." he said in his
eight word undelivered oration,
"the above title conveys my mes
sage.

UPI White House Reporter
WASHINGTON (UPI I Back
stairs at the White House:
Twice in recent weeks, there
were highly knowledgeable stories
advanced , by ordinarily well-informed
administration figures that
President Eisenhower was about
to take to the air waves in the
immediate future to discuss cer
tain aspects of his program in
Congress.
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.
