In the first Primary, 7,002 voted for governor, but only 4,786, includ- ing absentees, expressed their choices on Tuesday. While McCarty won by a far greater majority than the total by which he lost four years ago, yet his lead over Odham fell short of the estimates, ranging up to 100,000, that politicos and others had made. The reason for the outcome is easy to find — thousands of voters who favor- ed McCarty, felt confident he would win and, therefore, did not bother to vote for him. That attitude was a result of specious reasoning, and McCarty showed he was keenly aware of it during the campaign in the second Primary, because he repeatedly appealed to his supporters to go to the polls. In Key West, his steering committee and hundreds of others tried to} “get out the vote” and succeeded in a commendable meas ure, for had they too remained apathetic, one may feel sure the total would have been far less than the 4,786. Voters in Dade county streamed to the polls, but thousands of them would not have voted had conditions there been similar to those in Monroe county. Dade had half a dozen “hot” local races that carried over from the first primary, but Key West did not have any, though elsewhere in the county there were two minor races. The Citizen is pleased over the McCarty victory. Hi ability, administrative and otherwise, and his well-balanc ed judgment, outstanding four years ago, as well a8 in thi year’s campaign, qualify him to fill the office of governor. In conclusion, The Citizen congratulates Dan McCar- ty and hopes his administration will be successful, House-keeping is a lot of work for the women, who actually keep house. There are people who have been sick so long that they would die, naturally, if they got well. BOOSTER SHOTS Thursday, May 29, 1952 Today’ & Business Naerror By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK (®—How much mon- ‘ey the American people are sav- ing—and how set they are against cracking these nest-eggs—puzzles a lot of people. The experts differ, even on the amount Americans are putting away. Some say it was 17 billion dollars last year. Others say less than seven billion. What the thrifty ones will do with all this money interests the planners—whether they’re finan- cial officials worrying lest it be used to-start up another inflation wave, or businessmen who have been pinched by the consumers’ yen for thrift and would like them to spend more freély again. If even that lower amount of savings should be turned loose, it could start business up again fast, and probably price inflation, too. “Savings have had their skittish moments in the past when their buying power was threatened, as moments in the past when their evidenced by the two buying rush- es after Korea,” the Institute of Life Insurance says. The institute cites the Depart- ment of Commerce figures that total personal savings in 1951 ex- ceeded 17 billion dollars, or about one out of every 13 dollars of total personal spendable income after taxes. The government arrives at this high figure by taking the total of personal income after taxes, sub- tracting the total spent on consum- er goods and services, and calling the remainder personal savings. But a considerable part of what it calls savings couldn’t be turned into cash quickly, if at all. The government counts as savings, for example, the payment on mort- gage and other debts. Those who stick to the lower figure argue that savings should be long-term liquid savings in the true sense of a nest-egg. They in- clude: Time deposits in commer- cial banks, mutual savings banks, share accounts in savings and loan associations, life insurance poli- cies, U. S. savings bonds, and postal savings deposits. If you count only these the total savings are now more than 193 billion dollars, a gain of just less {than seven billion in 1951. This compares with 142 billion dollars at the end of the World War II and 67 billion at its start. Others would add currency and | demand deposits, government so- cial insurance funds, state and local government bonds, and cor- porate securities. If you add these, Americans saved 13 billion dollars last year. Whether it was 17 or 13 or seven billion, it is credited with having helped check inflation. And it cer- {tainly made a lot of merchants} /and manufacturers unhappy. Are Americans ready to cut loose and spend again? The Institute of Life Insurance thinks the American consumer is jin a better position now than ever | before to decide for himself wheth- er he'll spend or save. The increase since 1939 {n the percentage of families having more institute notes that the There's still one question left How come some people saved 17 b when most citizens they couldn't save anything? ers, bat the editor reserves th right te delete any ttems whic! are considered Iibelous or unwar- rented.
