According to some reports the solution to this great medical' mystery of all time is being hampered not by too little researcHbiit by too little co-ordination of the immense amount of isolated research that is being carried on Tens of thousands of doctors in nearly every country in the world are searching for a cause and cure or causes and for cancer in its various forms says the publication Health Bulletin The effort dwarfs almost any other medical research project Yet the status of the fight against cancer is unclear because no one has an overall pic-- ture of just-what iaheing done The com- plaint of some workers in 'the field is that their biggest obstacle at the moment-is simply Jo keep ahreastfof the work others have done or -are-doing----" The World

Only you can tell for you know beat the details of your over-all po- sition We do say this: If we were owners of a small business we would think twice to- gress But the persistence and rata of the upspiral are governed by the capacity and willingness of fenders and by the capacity and willingness of borrowers A very sharp step-up in the use of installment credit has been perhaps the bigest factor in keeping consumers spending heavily for goods and services And it appears that they' will be buying still more on installment to 1966 They have been by long years of-watching more and more people piling up debt and yet still seeming to keep their heads above water The years of' climbing personal incomes the face of steadily rising prices have made debt repayment There is now some $62 billion" in installment debt outstanding an increase of 50 per cent since the beginning of the present economic upturn in 1961 We look for installment debt to move still higher over the next six months al least unless the Federal Reserve ups interest rates before then and thus clamps a lid on the boom There is no denying that total private debt outstanding corporate and is at BABSON PARK Mass As the US approaches the end of the fifth year of an economic upturn that has set many records we are concerned about our rapidly rising private debt We all in fact might well ask ourselves How long will the inflationary state of mind of the public continue? Many factors have combined to produce the business boom: Among these are population growth' technological advances International tensions which have made it necessary to spend more and more for defense the large amounts poured into foreign aid and constantly climbing wages Even so without rising debt to feed on the business boom would have long since burned itself out There has been a tremendous boost in private debt in this country over just the past few years From 1955 through 1964 the advance amounted to 104 per cent Going back further to 1945 at the end of World War II private debt through 1964 racked up a phenomenal rise of 283 per cent Adequate increases in credit are necessary of course to keep the economy on the upmove rising debt provides the momentum tor growth and pro day before undertaking expa ions that would require Urge borrowings especially if these were to entail repayments that could be met only on the basis of present volume and earnings Arid if we were retail merchants extending installment credit we would screen appli- cants more closely keeping in mind that 10 per cent of all families now owing installment debt are already using more than 20 per cent of their disposable income for repayments Above all we would be careful not to assume that growth will proceed always as rapidly as it has during tha past few years i.
