1 HUMPHREY HAS A REPUTATION for being fishy-eyed when
examining the graphs of the experts.
He has a favorite story about a poster he remembers from his
boyhood. It showed a tramp and a dog. And the dog is saying to
the tramp, "If you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?”
Actually, the Treasury estimates for this year, like every other
year, were based on every economic fact available. And the head
man is known to be not pessimistic on the business outlook. .
Treasury estimates anticipate an increase in personal income.
Business investments for new plants and equipment are expected
to exceed last year’s. Consumer spending and general trade are
both expected to expand. And the GNP—or gross national product
—may easily go over the 400-billion-dollar hump.
It’s the net, or profits, that may be held down.
' I
J
■
ga
WASHINGTON— (NEA)— Secretary of the Treasury George M.
Humphrey estimates that corporation profits this year will be
about the same as last year—a mere 43 billion dollars. Because of
this there has been some concern that he is anticipating a recession.
. This, isn’t his view at all.
The'secretary is known to believe that the gross national product
of goods and services this year may well be higher than last year.
But the net, as represented by corporate profits, may be no higher.
And even if it isn’t, it will still be at a record high.
One impression current among economists is that Humphrey’s
estimate may have been based on some practical business man’s
seat-of-the-pants instinct. In other words, it wasn’t supported by
economists’ tables or charts or trend curves.

' THERE ARE SEVERAL soft spots in the economy. The farm
price decline is one of the worst. But it is pointed out that agricul-
tural production isn’t as large a slice of the economy as it used to
be, and it doesn’t involve as many people.
This is not taken to mean that nothing should be done to correct
the farm situation. But by itself, it isn’t as likely to lead the way
into a depression as it did in the 1930’s.
Automobile production and sales are down and so are new
housing starts. They account for a larger part of total U.S. business
and corporate profits than does agriculture.
A "buyers’ market” is said to exist today. There is more business
competition for the consumers’ dollars. That means pared-down]
profits. ,
On top of all this, there is a factor of uncertainty over what The
Man in the White House is going to do.
A DECISION by President Eisenhower not to seek re-election is
not expected to throw the economy into a depression. .
It could conceivably have the same effect as first news of his
eart attack. But the country, as well as the President, got over,
.he immediate effects of that break pretty rapidly. ;
From now till the day he makes his decision on running again
(nd on until election day, however, a certain amount of business
ancertainty and slow down may be expected. That’s normal.
It can be stated authoritatively that this factor by itself was not
responsible for the Humphrey estimate..
YOU'RE TELLING ME!

Central Press Writer
SIGNS AND THE TIMES
Beaten by the blizzard and bedecked
with icicles a sign up on Broadway shouts
to the passing motorist every hour of the
day, “Cool your car with an air condition-
er. Why fry?” Shivering as it says it, that
sign makes the torrid memories of dog
days come alive with a bang. That sign
was so appropriate and timely when the
temperature wiggled around the 110 in
the shade mark. But saying it through
icicles. B-r-r-r!
Over in the Arkansas bottoms near Mof-
fet a pretentious billboard tells the pass-
ing motorist that every room in a certain
Fort Smith hotel is equipped with a steam
heating apparatus. The greatest impact
of that sign comes in the torrid season
when the thermometer is determined to
register 110 or bust. Really that sign
ought to be veiled or even buried when
the asphalt is shimmering in mid-summer
heat.
