The National Outlook
Ctbncrfa# SetttMent tii Washington !
By. Ralph Robey
<V ' " -
Admtnfetnrtion leaders are
changing their attitude ,'pn the
cuh-ent business downturn. The
change may not be complete, but
it clearly is in process. ,
It will be recalled that at the
beginning of the year it was the 1
contention of the Administration
that the forces of recovery would
sopn get us back on the upgrade, j
This conclusion was reflected in
the President’s State of i the Un-|
ion Message, in his Budget Mes- 1
sage, and in his Economic Repott.
Since then it has been re-stated
in one Way or mother by almost |
every Cabinet Merrfber. — In a’
word, that was the official posi-j
tion 'of the Administration, there 1
Was po real deviation from it.
It still may be the official po- j
sitlon of the Administration. At!
least it has not been repudiated, j
Nohe the less, two events of the :
pagt few days make it appear that
the number of jpersons ' holding
such a view is declining;
First was the introduction of a
resolution in the Senates l|y Ma
jority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson.
It had the endorsement of the:
majority of the Senate, including
eighteen Republicans. It. stated j
that Congress thinks there should
be a stepping-up of expendi
tures on civil and military’pro-'
grams for which apprppijations
have been made. Bfecit of this!
resolution had been a •vfiijle host
of bills, from both sides 4>f the
aisle, providing for lprgaj;|tpenil-,
ing for roads, houses,^.watershed
development, and ev
ery thing else anyone’couW- dreain ■
up. !
Some of these bills, and some
of those sponsoring the resolu
tion, unquestionably were moti
vated by political considerations.
That, however, does rigg provide
a complete explanation: “'Some of
the bills and some of U|e motiva
tion reflect a genuine iefiviction
that it is time government step
ped in with positive action. .
Second, two -days after*the res
olution was introduced Presi
dent sent a letter to the' Reoubli
can Minority leader of both the
Senate and House. ThiTTStter, it
was explained, was nose
to the Johnson resolution, but it
prettv well served that- jnmose.
In his letter the President took
a side-swipe, at,.“the sudden up
surge of pump-primine
sufch as setting up of huee fed- •
eral bureaucracies ...” Then Mr.

Eisenhower summarized what thej
Government has done up'-to this ‘
time and what it proposes to do.
Among the latter are the follow
ing:
1. Accelerate where practicable
the construction of projects ,for
which appropriated fupds are
available.
! 2. Increase appropriation re
quests of $lB6 million for certain
j “water resource projects”,
i 3. An additional S2OO million
has been released for the stimu
lation of moderate priced homes.
| 4. Within a few days the Con
' gress will be requested to amend
j the Highway Act to suspend cer
tain expenditure limitations. The
'• amount involved is $2.2 billion
j for the calendar years 1958-61.
5. The military department has •
j been instructed to place all possi
i ble contracts in labor Surplus
areas, with first priority to small
business. •
6. A program is under way to
make funds available for more
veterans homebuilding. •
7. The Secretary of Labor has
i been requested to present a “pro- :
posal which would enable eligi- '•
i ble unemployed individuals to re- <
ceive weekly benefits for a long- :
er period than is now permitted i
under state laws and thus enable
them to continue to seek jobs i
with a greater measure- of securi- j
ty.” The most common State 1
limitation on unemployment com- ;
pensation at present is 26 weeks.
It is reported the President will '<
I recommend that Congress enact 1 j
i Federal legislation to standardize 1
■ and increase this to 39 weeks. i
There are too many open ends
in this program to put a defi- .
nite dollar amount on it, but un- ,
questionably the total would run j
into billions. And bear in mind •
this is just the new program— j
new in the sense that it covers, :
according to the President, only ,
items which have been specificai- ,
ly developed since February 12. (
It it worth noting, too, that ;
President Eisenhower ended his (
letter with this sentence: “ . . .
other programs and measures are
under study and, as circumstanc- ,
es may require, will be admini
stratively set in motion or pro
posed to the Congress.”
Clearly this is not a program,
nor are those the words, of an
Administration which is still con
’vinced the current recession will
end soon of his own accord.

SHADES OF JULES VEfcNE —USS Gudgeon, flagship of the U.S. Pacific Fleet Submarine
Force, gets an all-out welcome as she makes port at Pearl Harbor after traveling around the
world in a sailing time between ports of 80 days. She’s the first American sub to make such
a journey. Everyone not needed at the controls is topside to get a fireboat-squirting, whistle
tooting welcome as a helicopter overhead drops 30 pounds of blossoms over the sub. Elapsed
time of the cruise was 150 days, including time out to participate in various maneuvers. Total
mileage for the round-the-world portion of the trip: 23,111 miles.
Hock community has set approx
imately 100 peach trees and 100
apple trees. He has been given
a demonstration or, clipping the
young trees for proper develop
ment.
There is a wonderful oppor
tunity for increased fruit grow-,
ing in Chowan County. Both j
the soil and the climate are well!
adapted for fruits acclimated toi
this area. Prospective and inter-1
1 ested growers must remember j
1 and determine to do certain 1
things if these fruit plantings are
to be successful.
Trees must be properly spaced, j
apple and pear trees 40 feet J
apart, each way, peach trees 20 j
feet apart each way and grape l
vines 15 to 20 feet apart. Trees 1
must be properly set and pruned
for proper development, pruning
must be done each year. Trees
must be properly fertilized. A
careful spray schedule must be
followed to control insects and
diseases when the trees come in
to bearing. Proper varieties
must be selected in order to get ■
desired quality and the desired,
length of harvest season.
The county Extension office has
bulletins, spray schedules ,and |
complete information for distribu-1
tion. Extension agents Will give,
demonstrations on setting, prun- 1
ing and other practices necessary.!
All we ask is that growers call on
us for such information and ser- ]
vices.
The shrinking dollar seems to
command universal respect with
out regard to its purchasing'val
