Butler vice pre-1 Went of the Chase Mahattaa Bank i of New York, president of the National Assn. of Business Economists and an economist who not only has national reputation for accuracy but also has an endearing habit of saying what he thinks without frustrating "Us, ands buts." At a private Association announced today that a total of nearly five million dollars is being committed to the dryer promotion programmed by the dryer manufacturers for this fall. In a confidential audit of manufacturers made by Ernst Ernst, Chicago accounting firm, it was determined that a minimum of 14,775,000 has been allocated by the individual man-ufacturers in the "Its-A-Breeze" campaign. The bulk of the funds is expected to be expended in national and local advertising media, including TV. radio and mag nines, supporting the all-industry dryer promotion.

Guenther Baumgart, president of AHLMA. observed that this large financial expenditure was probably the largest ever placed also pointed out that the scope of the promotion vent beyond mere expenditure by the home laundry industry. Citing the U. S. Eteel Corporation and its market by market merchandising program, he also noted that the American Gas Association.

Edison Electric Institute, National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, LP Gas Council, and NARDA all had given valued support. By way of appraising the likely impact of the promotion Mr. Baumgart said, "It ia entirely within the realm of possibility that dryers will surpass the fabled years of for appliances. The record this promotion is shooting for is one and a half million units and 1963 can be that record luncheon at the Chase bank this week, Butler did Just that put himself on the line with answers to a series of searching questions.

But unless actios is taken to revise our tax system, this win be another weak and abortive recovery. Here lies our real problem. For six years, we have been in a phase of slow-growth, not achieving fun prosperity. "And we will remain in this pattern of alow and sluggish growth and incomplete recoveries through 196 4and possibly longer unless we do something to stimulate growth." In this six-year period, our growth rate has been around 24 per cent a year. Butler believes a rate of 4 per cent or more a year is "our real potential." Q.

Why has our growth slowed? An examination of the facts reveals consumer spending has been rising almost per cent a year since 1957 which is satisfactory. There has been no lag in government spending this has gone up 7 per cent a year since 1957. But business spending for new plants and equipment this year will be no higher than In 1957. This Is the area of our economy which has failed to move ahead. "It Is the lag In business Investment in plant and equipment which underlines the mi grind, is inform- ed.

No one can take their Joy from them. They base their Joy on the untouchable foundation of heaven. Hear the Psalm est, from Him we can earn the true happiness.

Where does the economy stand now? A. Overall, business activity Is at a record and "with the major1 exception of steel, business is very good when measured by past standards. However, it is not as good as it ought to be." The recovery since early 1961 has not been vigorous and the heavy goods Industries those which produce capital goods are not operating at a high enough rate to support general prosperity." Q. What is the immediate business outlook? A. We are "in the final stages of a recovery period.

Business activity has leveled out." BuUer thinks the level will hold for another few months say three to six months "and then turn down." In short, we are heading Into a business recession, the fifth of post-World War n. Q. Why Is a recession lmmi-ent? Because of the blows dealt to confidence by events earlier this year the failure of profits to rise strongly, the steel price episode, the stock market decline. "Thus we have not had much of an Increase In business spending for new plant and equipment and next year's Investment may be lower. Business has cut back sharply on steel Inventories, there are signs of reductions In other inventories.

Surveys show a redutclon in consumer plans to buy autos and other durable goods." All this Is the stuff of which recessions are made. Q. How severe is this fifth downturn likely to be? A. Once a downturn starts, no one can be sure how far it will go of the Campus Glancing Backward God. There It is.

Who can go against God? It has been tried. The devil tried it and was cast out of heaven. Adam and Eve tried it and were cast out of Eden. Almost tverybody tries it at some point of life and always loses ground In the effort to reach his heart's desire. When things go wrong, the true believer in God will commit matters Into God's hands.

"Judge me. God, and plead my cause." The believer will be about his business and trust God to take care of the over-all situation. He will lift up his voice in praise of God. his God. Blessed is the troubled harassed soul that has God as its God.

All will be well, even in trouble. Draw me to Thee, God. Amen Trustingly, Brother Carl Gurnither Berrien County hospital Berrien Center OVERLOOKED VETS Editor. The Herald-Press: To parents who have sons In peacetime servic3. I would like to cite our recent experience.

Leslie, division commercial superintendent. The district includes the area of Benton Harbor, St. Joseph, Niles, Berrien Springs, Buchanan, Watervliet, Coloma and several other smaller offices.

Michigan school heads were urged today not to delay school opening this fall because of a polio panic. The state department of public instruction and the state health department both issued strongly worded statements advising against any postponement. Berrien county's 1952 polio count rose to the 40 mark today as a young St. Joseph boy was admitted to Memorial hospital for treatment.

If our sons receive no benefits, after discharge, except to be told they are In the reserves, how can G.O.P. CALLS TO ARMS Berrien county Republicans heard some good advice the other night at Berrien Springs from Ed Campbell, their new campaign manager. Quite a few in the audience have been aware of what he said for some time. For the good of the party it is to be hoped, his message brought the others down from the clouds. Campbell pointed out what the Democrats have been iware of and working upon for a long spell, namely, that Berrien isn't the solid G.O.P.

block it used to be; and if some spade work is not done immediately, the party will do well to skin past the November election with a 53 per cent majority vote. Considering that not too many years back the margin was well over 60 per cent, it should be clear that the elephant needs some pep pills. The G.O.P. has not been on its toes around here fince the first Eisenhower drive in 1952. In spite of the dominant Taft sentiment among the Berrien regulars everyone put his shoulder to the wheel to turn in a magnificent performance.

Since then the old elephant has been panting and lumbering badly. There are any number of reasons for this slippage. The rising Negro and southern population aids the Democrats; and an improving union political organisation is making its influence felt for them. Leadership in the Republican fold has been inept at times and quarrelsome within itself almost continually. Some faces in the court house have been there for so long that many of the faithful don't feel inspired to labor for their continuance in office.

More damaging than anything else has been the erosion in the excellent precinct organization system. The ray of hope today is in the reorganization of the party's county administration. The new chairman, Dave Goss, already has cut away lome of the barnacles slowing down the G.O.P. boat. Campbell who lost the chairmanship contest to Goss a few weeks ago is pitching in his own considerable talent for getting things done.

A heartening indication from this team is that while both men are new to the community they have sized up the job to be done. Given the proper support, they can get the old elephant's tail swinging and switching once again. PROBLEM SOLVING What with all the reminders, no one is likely to forget that this is a complex age. Every day someone reminds us that we need complex answers to complex jroblems, or that we need complex problems for the eftover complex answers. What many persons do forget, perhaps as often as three or four times a day, is that much of this heralded complexity is a result of following the line of least resistance, and not really necessary.

For instance, take a leading carmaking firm latest survey. The question: does the public, prefer bucket seats or bench seats? The method: a sociological survey of college students. The answer: when courting, young people don't like bucket seats in their cars. The statistics (which were probably properly graphed and done up in a slick paper four-color brochure): on first dates, 33 per cent of the men and 42 per cent of the women preferred bucket seats. When going steady, the preference figure drops to 27 per cent and 17 per cent.

Between courtship and marriage the figure is even lower, reaching its lowest point on the honeymoon. As pure research, the study was undoubtedly valuable. Necessary? Bucket seats, as any sports car owner can tell you, uncompromisingly separate the occupants. Everybody knows that. And young people do not like being physically separated at all 1 1 s.

Everybody knows that, too. Any man who has ever watched a May moon, or walked through crunching fall leaves with a girl, could have told the researchers about biology and bucket seats. Market researchwise, the old rumble seat was much better. Research men are a strangely bloodless breed. Perhaps they never walked arm in arm with girls, or perhaps they don't remember.

So they made a survey, and our world got a little more complicated. At least the survey produced the right answer. The line's new convertible will have bench seats. declines.

Not garden variety cheating, but cheating at the international challenge level.

Bobby Fischer, a young American who is one of the world's best chess ployers, has explained how the Russians do it. At tournaments against non-Russians, they assure good records against each other by agreeing to draw tie their matches. Then, when one Russian reaches a good score by beating other players, the other Russians throw their matches with him, assuring that the leading Russian will win the competition. The result, Fischer charges, is that no non-Russian has any chance of winning. Fischer vows he will enter no more international tournaments until the rules are changed tq prevent such collusion.

Back in the Stalin days, the Russians claimed they had invented everything from the automobile to electric lights. It is doubtful if they invented chess, which came from somewhere in the mysterious East. They have invented the first efficient way to cheat at I bduding bond nbM top deubl otntar gulM drowwi HWng alirar awtr Kratch and italn mhtaM TlatHdnrf But."
