That is the union for variety, night-ciuD, carnival, etc. performers, and Penny thought it would be fun to meet some of the troupers she had known as a child. "So I went." she says, "and I had a great time seeing Smith and Dale and all the olatimers." She didn't know that the chance event was to brine her Don't forget Homburger Buns!

Business profits are another: Huge? Still too skimpy? The big daddy of all the statistics used to plot the economy's growth is the gross national product.

This dollar value of the nation's output of goods and services is usually accepted as showing whether the nation is prospering and by how much. MEANS LITTLE Yet a rise in the GNP means little to a depressed mining area if the gain came largely from the growth of services in metropolitan centers. Many economists hold that the true rate of GNP growth can't be determined by comparing the 1946 output as expressed in the purchasing power of the dollar at that time with the 1963 output expressed in many more dollars, but each buying considerably So these economists recast the charts, usually by accepting one particular year's purchasing power of the dollar as a constant, and thus drastically revising the figures of other years. The rate of growth is much less impressive that way than if you make no allowance for inflation. Business profits, although at a record high, also can look much less impressive today if cast in the fictitious constant dollars of yesteryear.

In today's dollars it leads many persons to think corporations must be rolling in dough. Stockholders look for sharply higher dividends. Workers want a bigger slice of the pie, in increased wages. TWO STANDARDS But management cries that profits aren't nearly big enough. They apply two standards.

One, profits don't represent as big a percentage of sales, or of assets, as they did several years back; hence investors aren't eager to put up more money, and the larger profits won't buy today's more costly equipment. Second, profits haven't increased as fast in recent years as has the GNP. So this is a lagging segment of the economy rather than a booming one as the earnings reports might indicate, A similar split is growing in Interpretation of unemployment figures.

GROWING FEUD Despite a growing feud with administrative officers, Penny advanced in the AGVA hierarchy and even served one term as president in 1958-59. The charges and countercharges grew in intensity, and she was suspended from the union, thus depriving her of the ability to work as a variety performer.

In 1961 AGVA began to come under the scrutiny of Sen. John J. McClellan's permanent subcommittee on investigations. Highly publicized hearings were held, at which Penny and others testified. Allegations of collusion and corruption within the union were made.

The committee's report in 1963 concluded that AGVA "not only has not defended the rights of its members but, in many cases has operated against their interests." Last month Penny accepted reinstatement and the $15,000 rather than pursue her case for damages. "I'm alone now, and I need the money," she said.
