This rosy outlook for the American future was propounded to several hundred Los Angeles area bankers, investment men, Industrialists and economic educators in the Biltmore yesterday by Beardsley Ruml, New York financial expert and onetime government fiscal consultant Sees 'o Deep Depression "I can see no danger of a deep or protracted depression," Ruml said in a speech aimed at clari fying conflicting rumors and predictions of economic "gloom and doom." Ruml, author of the pay-as-you-go withholding tax plan, told local financial men there is a fundamental difference between our economy today compared with the depression years of 1929-33.

"In the ea-ly 30s people were forced to sell against their wishes," he pointed out "Today they are able to buy so they please. This is the difference between day and night, between weakness and strength. Federal Powers Greater "The powers of the Federal government over the economic life of the people are greater than they have ever been before in peacetime. Also, the Republican Party does not want to be known as the party of depression. It will use the powers of government in its own best judgment to avoid any such historic reputation." Raising the exemptions in the Individual income tax by $100 or $200 is by far the most pow- erful single antidepresslon instrument in the government's hands, Ruml asserted.

Democratic System "Unless there is a clear reversal upward in the trend of business and employment by May or June," he continued, "the exemption in individual income tax should be raised. The response then should come six to eight weeks thereafter by August or September." There is no reason to suppose that the powers of government will or can be used in a man Tier inconsistent with a demo cratic, free enterprise system, Ruml declared. The tax expert foresees an annual producUvity-per-man-hour Increase of 3 between now and 1960, he said, as the result of technological research, mechanization and improvement in managerial skills. In addition, the working force in this country will be nearer 70,000,000 in 1960 and the average work week will be dropped to 39 hours. Putting all factors together, Ruml came up with a figure for America's gross national product in 1960 of $155,000,000,000, which compares with in 1951 and with a rate of $365,000,000,000 for the last quarter of 1953.

Consumer Expenditures "Consumer expenditures will have to increase to 000 by 19(30. a 50 Jump from 1951," Ruml said. "All the ingenuity of American business, production and salesmanship and all the best co-operation and use of the powers of the Federal government will be required to make this economic and cultural change." Reform of the Federal budget is badly needed, the tax and financial expert asserted. He forecast no Federal tax increases this year and urged the abolishment of all excise taxes except those on tobacco, alcohol and gasoline. Individuals who have surplus savings can do best by In-Vesting in common stocks, Ruml said.
