The National Outlook
i Kennedy’s Program For Helping Recovery
Jtty Ralph Rout
President Kennedy’s Inaugural |
Address was excellent. His State i
of the Union message appeared '
to be a continuation of the cam- :
paign, and by many was thought
to be unfortunate. Even so this
was better than the first of his i
special messages which was on !
ways to help recovery, and at- I
complish many reforms which in j
his judgment are desirable and
can be afforded regardless of
the present level of business. :
The list of items upon which he
makes recommendations is extra- <
ordinarily long and will be the
subject of discussion for many :
weeks and months. So much
publicity has been given to the ,
proposals that they do not need <
further summarization, but some
general comments are in order.
It is a basic thesis of the
President that the full power
of the federal .government should
be used to assure the maximum
growth rate of the economy,
with production at capacity
rates, full employment, and pro
tection at liberal levels of all (
our elder citizens. This is to]
be done without inflation and
without adding to our interna-,
tional deficit, which would mean
continued loss of gold. It also !
is to be accomplished without
raising tax rates except for so-i
cial security.
At one other point there will 1
be increased tax payments al- j
though the rate will remain the: j
same. This is for the extension !
of unemployment compensation, j
The larger payments will be;
caused by basing the tax on *
$4,800 of income per employee,!
as compared with the present
$3,000. It is promised that leg
islation to bring about this in
crease of payments will be sub
mitted to the Congress by the
end of March, but there would
be no such delay in extending
the period of benefits. That Ls
called for immediately—the ex-i
tension to be to 39 weeks and
funds for this are to be taken,
out of the general balances of;
the government.
Can the President accomplish
this program as a whole? The
easy answer is no. But that
merely leads’ to the further ques
tion of why not?
One reason is that while some!
of the can be initiat-;
ed by executive action, and’
those orders have been issued,
many of others will require ac
tion by the Congress, and diffi-1
culties will be encountered at'
that point. There probably will!
be an extension of unemploy
ment benefits, some increase of!
the minimum wage, and an aid I
to depressed areas bill, some en
largement of aid to education,
but it is doubtful if the Con
gress will go alon,g with most of
the other suggestions—at least
without a long and bitter argu
ment. I
Another reason why the pro-1
Feeling Low?
• If you are “feeling low,” when you should be
“hitting on high,” then by all means do something
about the matter. The first step is to have a talk
with your Doctor. Let him diagnose your condition
and prescribe for you. Then, bring his prescriptions
to us for prompt compoundine bv our experts.

gram as a whole cannot be ac-J
eomplished ifc that most of it in
volves increased government
spending. No one can be cer
tain what full implementation
would cost, but it would run
into the billions of dollars.
Some of this could be covered f
by cutting waste out of present
government spending, but Presi
dent Kennedy has shown no in
terest in this approach. He
speaks of closing tax loopholes.
There is no such sum of in
creased revenue available from
tax loopholes. The only other
sources are higher taxes, which
the President says he opposes,
and deficits. Some of the Presi
dent’s advisors favor deficits for*
times such as we have today,,
but they have a definite in
flationary impact, and that is
something Mr. Kennedy does not
want.
One final comment needs to
be made. Our economic system
is not in nearly as unfavorable
a position as Fresident Kennedy
, believes. We h?ve some seri
ous problems, and certain gov
; eminent actions are desirable,
: but this is not the time to press
the panic button, and that ap
i pears to be what the President
was basically doing in this mes
i sage.

ROBERTS
Whe PERSON GOD USES
A man stood on the outskirts
of the city, surrounded by an
angry ’ mob. Th e mob was
throwing stones* screaming, and
hurling abuses at him. He had
been condemned! to death by
the Jewish council and sen
tenced to execution by stoning.
Why was this' man, whose
name was Stepfcen, being
stoned? He had robbed no
banks; he had murdered no one.
He had committed no crimes.
Instead, he had been praying
for the healing of the sick—
performing miracles of deliver
ance among the needy people
of his day.
He was not a minister but a
layman. However, the Bible
says he was full of faith. He
was \villing to do anything he
could through the Spirit of God.
There was nothing too big or
too little for him to do.
Stephen had felt the call of
the Lord and had gone out to
help people. But as he minis
tered to them, a groat host of
the Jewish leaders became
jealous of him and made up
lies about him. They said that
Stephen had blasphemed God,
which was a capital crime under
Jewish law.
Even as the mob testified
against him, Stephen testified to
them of his love for God. They
became so incensed toward him
that they fell upon him ar.d be
gan to stone him. But Stephen
Sympathy goes out to the Eli
ja Boyce family of Tyner, who
lost a loved one.

did not become filled with hats;
instead, he fumed his eyes
heavenward. He was so full of
the love of God that he was
able to look up as stones were
driving him to the ground. And
as he looked up, he cried out,
“I see Jesus, standing on the
right hand of the Father.”
Just before the stones of his
accusers beat out Stephen’s life,
he cried, “Lord, lay not this sin
to their charge.”
This is the kind of person
God uses: the person who is
able to help meet the needs of
those around him by the power
of God. A person who has faith,
who has a shining face, who is
able to look up and see Christ,
is a person God can use.
Many people were to die for
Christ after Stephen, but he
was the first. The first martyr
was not an apostle or a preacher,
but a layman. Many people feel
that because they are not
ministers they can do nothing
for God. But this is untrue.
The Bible teaches that God will
use any person who will live
for Him and display a love for
people. Everybody has some
thing to say and do for God.
When you come to Jesus and
begin to work for Him, He will
give you the power to help
other people experience the
abundant life you enjoy. You
are a person Cod can use.
