Cutbacks in capital expendi tures by industry at the request of President Johnson, he A year earlier the Central earned $1.5 million, or 23 cents share, on 156.9 million revenue in the period. Perlman termed the outlook for the economy in general as "excellent" with no apparent soft spots. He said railroads aren't likely to cut back on capital spending as requested of all industry by President Johnson because "there's already a shortage of freightcars and with the effort in Vietnam, it would be a mistake to be short of transportation equipment." Although the Central Itself has an ample supply of freight-cars, it plans to spend $120 million on additional freight equipment this year about the same as last Perlman said.

The only "good" part of this news is that the McGraw-Hill survey was made before President Johnson called on the nation's businessmen to make voluntary cuts in their 1966 plant and equipment spending.

What, then, can be done to root this off and stretch out this crucial job-profits creating spending? The Federal government certainly can cut back its enormous spending on construction and other postpon-able programs for now. The Federal Reserve System can step harder on the credit brake to make borrowing even tougher than it is today. Tax Hike Is an Alternative The White House can ask Congress to approve temporary hikes in income taxes to reduce the amounts of money corporations and individuals have to spend. Bussinessmen can heed to a much greater extent the White House's call for voluntary restraint on spending now both at home and overseas and bankers can restrict their overseas loans, too. Consumers can voluntarily add moderately to their savings and voluntarily curb their free spending until prices stabilize.

Tourists can voluntarily cut back on their money-draining plans for overseas travel in coming months. If they don't, a "head tax" on overseas tourists will become increasingly likely. Union and business leaders can accept the fact that either they voluntarily comply with the wage price guideposts or they invite far more unpalatable inflation curbs. The issue is coming down to this: are we capable of controlling inflation by voluntary actions, or must we be forced by painful restrictions into controlling it? Goldman, Sachs Co.
