O He added: "TheyQpn't know how a fr economy works, or how it grows. So (being shockingly uninformed i (hey aren't prepared to deal with some of the great problems fac ing our nation." What to do about it? In his address to the schooJJ principals, Mr. Funglon outlined' Mj-un lor ine vjrjtion s nign etfiools to follow in dealing with what he called "widespread ero nornic illiteracy' O A course in9onomics.(V said. should be COMPULSORY for all hi;,wschool students before gradu alion.

The tech tuques ol (J'aelung economics ehoulf)he improved, and there should W planning and guidance on national, as well as state and local levels. Why this emphasis on more and tter econiic edQilion at the high school 1.I? j I don't want to put words in Mr. Funston's mouth, but I suspect he has been listing to some of our to-called "liberal" politicians who tend in these days to be preachers of economic illifgacy. For example: O "IT! Vmcoikm )e ower my sw-ni or Humphrey of Minnesota: who is one of our ULTRA-liberal "lib eral' was lecturing to a crow of voters on the etts if) TIGH I money. "Why he said in shocked Qie of voice, "money has got so tight in these days that people who buy $13,000 to $15,000 homes now hai to pay $2,000 to $3,000 more in interest rales than they did in 1952." It wa" a telling poM, and I expect his hearers rattled the raft ers with applause 9nd went home convinced that Senator Humphrey is the man to pginto the White q House. The heck of it is that on the surfacQvhat he said is truMon ey IS tight. That is to sayrthere isn't enouft mortgage money available aOiie moment to fittc as many homes as people "want to build. Why not? The answer is simple joplc haven't SAVED UP enough money to meet the pQsent demand. Why kO't they saved up enoAh TTgain the answer is simple.

O o OThat's the long and the short of A And Senator Humphrey is among the politicians who have declaimed loudly ;,inst raising interest rates to the point where people will be iiiduceijjto SAME UPqMCRE MONEY to leMo thostwho want to buy (Jouses. His idea of is that the govern ment should come across with the money and PUT IX ON THE CUFF... U -J . . It's an intriguing argument. Peo nQ who don't know that putting too much government monet-on the cuff means eventual STAT ING OF THE PRINTING PRESS ES can't help being impressed. O I think Mr. Funston has some thing in his proposal to lay more stress on the teaching of econom ics in our high schools. If the people are better informed on economic truths, they will be bet ter able to spot the tommyrot that is preached by too maOy of cur politicians. Services Slated Foj G-NJan FLORENCE, S.C.
