NEW YORK U—Plans of busi-
ness firms to step up their spend-
ing for new plants and equipment
could dash the hopes of some
stockholders for more liberal divi-
dend payments.
Prospects for much better cor-
porate profits this year than last
have raised these hopes high.
But now a number of companies
are saying that the big postwar
expansion program may not have
been enough after all to meet the
growing consumer demand for
their products. And new mills and
factories are being planned. Keen
competition is also speeding plans
for buying new equipment.
And so the debate of recent
years over how much of the earn-
ings should be plowed back into
the business and how much hand-
ed out to the corporation's own
era in dividends may be revived

Miracles Still Happen:
' Glenn Ray Is Proof
A "miracle” has happened in Greenville and Dallas
and it was one of those rare events that farther the
fact that science must have spiritual help and vice-
"The miracle was in the form of tiny Glenn Ray .
Smith, two-month-old adopted son of Mr. and Mrs.
Reyford Smith of Greenville.
Doctors tagged the infant a "miracle baby” because
it took just that to save the child from death. During
surgery and other treatment, indications several
times pointed to certain death but he pulled through
with the help of doctors and God.
.. It was one of those things that bring out the best in
everyone’s heart. And everyone who is acquainted with
the case must feel relieved and grateful that lit
Glenn Ray has survived his first big crisis. .
.2— Here is a brief run-down on Glenn Ray's case:
He was born with an incomplete esophagus (swallow-
ing tube) and he survived: (1) Loss of two-thirds of his
blood. (2) Major chest surgery at a time when he was
a poor operative risk. (3) A rigidity of the tissues called
sclerema.
"This child was just meant to live.” murmered a
surgeon at Children's Medical Center in Dallas when
Glenn Ray’s mommy brought him by for a visit.
Glenn Ray was adopted by the Smiths and they in-
sisted no cost be spared to try to save him. The Green-
ville Evening Banner appealed for help from the town’s
citizens and readers gave generously.
Glenn Ray had trouble swallowing and on the second -
day of his life was taken to a Greenville hospital. He
vomited everything he tried to. eat. To maintain, fluid
requirements of the tiny body, liquids were injected
beneath the skin. One injection caused him to bleed in-
ternally and he lost most of his blood supply. By the
- time he reached the Children's Medical Center in
Dallas his condition had become alarmingly worse.
The diagnosis: The upper part of the swallowing
tube ended in a blind alley, and the lower part was
connected abnormally with the windpipe. Surgical cor-
rection is not always a great risk. But Glenn Ray's
condition was so poor he had little chance. Since death
was certain without it. the surgeon went ahead. Glenn
Ray made the trip to the operating room with a blood
transfusion going into one leg, glucose pouring into a
vein of his other leg and oxygen from a portable tank
being fed into his lungs. He survived the complex -
operation in which the surgeon established a normal
esophagus.
Then he developed sclerema, in which body tissues
develop a wax-like stiffening. The condition is usually
a forerunner of death. Glenn Ray was treated with
hydrocortisones—one of the latest derivatives of corti-
sone—and in a few days the condition of danger was
gone.'
So you see, it was quite a miracle of medicine that
kept Glenn Ray alive. And we’re sure the surgeon had
some guide bigger than his medical tools and expert*
ence riding along with him. But it took his hands to
do the job —1 and he did a good one. And probably
after the operation was a success this surgeon felt a
rare exhilaration that few of us ever have a chance to
feel. .

since his operation. His mother said Tuesday; "He
never cries except when he's hungry.”

Into this paradise for stock-

Directors who have been more
generous with dividends to recent

"Unless there is improvement in
the fall, we will have to consider
further expansion of capacity."
Flemming, who recently re-
opened the government’s offer of
federal tax benefits to electric
power companies which undertake
expansion, disclosed he haa taken
these further steps:
1. Ordered a "basic. comprehen-
sive" study to determine whether
to approve the abandoned "third
round" of aluminum, industry ex-

2. Asked the Defense and Com-
merce departments to investigate
whether any companies obtaining
nickel under military priorities are
diverting some of it to civilian
items, thus tightening the shortage
for other firms.
