In the .closing days of Congress the.
New Dealers outlined their campaign ;
platform for both the November elec
tions and the 1950 Presidential cam
paign. It was developed after they
had failed in an effort to. make un
employment an . issue and also after
failure "f trying to accuse the Ad
ministration of seeking an Asiatic
war.
it can best he described as a diplo
matic approach to the unemployment
question; as the platform is nothing
more than the philosophy that the
government, to prevent unemployment,
must construct and operate facilities
to supplement the output of private
industry.
This was the theory in the old Full
Employment Bill presented to Con
gress in 1945. It Was rejected and a
much modified Employment Act was
passed a year later.
Now the new program . . . as Re
publicans view it . . . should give all
Republican dissenters reason to pause
and take a second breath. It has been
drafted by a group of well-known
Roosevelt -Truman supporters. Leon
H. keyserling, former Chairman of
the President’s Council of Economic
Advisors, is staff director.
The program is entitled “Toward
Full Employment and Full Produc
tion”. It holds that a recession start-'
ed In 1953 . . . and. as a result, the,
nation’s total output is now about $27 j
billion below what it should he to'
provide full employment. The pro
gram then says:
“We must register year by year a
minimum annual growth rate of 4.2
percent in total output to maintain

MAGIC STRESSES HIGHWAY SAFETY

Flowers from thin air is just one of many tricks Sergeant Carl Pike used
during his “Safety Magic” show to highlight his talk on traffic and safety
and good safety habits Monday in both the Negro High School and Elemen
tary''school auditorium. Currently on a nationwide tour, the local showing
w a- sponsored bv the State Department of Public Instruction, North Carolina
Motor Carriers Association and the American Trucking Associations, Inc.
a full economy >■%.•• insofar a.-: we
increase leisure. . This would lift our
total annual product to SSOO billion (
by the end of i 960, raise the aver
age standard of living- by- about 5s
per cent, and eliminate mass poverty.”
Here are same highlights from the re
port . . .
Our on-rushing productive power is
a menace unless consumption is en
larged . - depressions, both large and
small, can be avoided only by the
joint action of private enterprise and
government . . . and what is needed
is an increase in government spend
ing by $3 billion above the rate in
the first quarter of 195-4 . -a (this
would throw: the budget further out of :
balance) , \ . reduction of taxes in the
lower brackets by $4.5 billion to in
crease. purchasing power ... (this
would further dry up venture capi
tal and call for more government
spending to increase production facili
ties) . . . creation of a constant mod
erate federal deficit, as a gradual rise
in the national debt is the best policy
to pursue hy deliberate choice . . .
and government should encourage a
flexible and expanding money and
credit supply, learning from hard ex
perience that “hard money” promotes
hard times.
; The present program is based upon
the, old Full Employment Program of
11945-1945 which, a Congressional com
l-mittee developed, contained language
, lifted bodily from the Soviet Consti
jfution . . . and Congressional Com
'mittees investigating Communistic.ac
tivities have since cited a number of
[those supporting the 1945-1946 Fill)
Employment Program as being af
filiate directly with the Communistic
movement.
THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON, N. C„ THURSDAY. OCTOBER 28, 1954.
Other planks, of the Keyserling plat
form include:
“Mon-inflationary” wage increases.
Average weekly earnings of produc
tion workers in manufacturing indus
tries should advance from about $71,50
to SIOO,
Social Security should be expanded
so that, by 1960 the average basic re
tirement incomes of elderly i>eople
should be 4 to 5 times the current
average level.
There is much more to the pro
gram along the same lines. Mr. Key
serling and his associates hold out the
rosy promise that hy the end of 1960
“We can achieve the virtual liquida
tion of poverty in the United States.” i
This is explained as follows: “In
1950, 57 per cent of till American fam
ilies had incomes of less than $4,000
a year. There were 39 per cent he-:
low 53,000 and 23 per cent below I
$2,000. To bring all of these families'
up to a $4,000 standard of living,
would absorb less than half of the |
total increase in personal incomes that 1
we can register hy 1960, thus leaving
ample . room for income improvement |
among other families.”
This program is directly opposite
to the basic Eisenhower program . .
which is to eliminate government com
petition with private industry and to
return as many functions of the fed
eral government to the states as is ,
practicable. .
The Eisenhower program is basic
Americanism---the system that devel
oped this great nation.
Government spending and New Deal
planning failed in the past-—and there
is no reason to believe that Mr. Key
serling’s magic wand can be more
successful in the future.

America by 1975 will be using al
most 300 million more tons of coal;
than it did in 1950, according to the
Sixteenth Semi-Annual Report of the
Atomic Energy Commission.
The National Association of Manu
facturers cites this source in pointing
out that the nation’s coal consump
tion will he about 815 million tons in
1975. This compares with 522 million
tons in 1950. The increase will de
velop complementary to similar in
creases in use of petroleum and nat
ural gas.
Increased research into the chemical
uses of coal will aid this expected in
crease. Coal chemistry already has
released components for aspirin, cor
-11 isone, dyes and textiles, DDT, live
stock feed, lucite and other plastics,
'j and many more products.
