In the July issue of Harper’s Magazine is a short ar- ticle entitled, “The Coming Class War — Old vs. Young.” It is a condensation of a speech made by Frank G. Dickin- gon, economist and statistician of the American Medical Association, speaking before the Southern Conference on Gerontology. Mr. Dickinson points out that there is an enormous growth in the number of old people in America and that the increasing demand for pensions may bring on a new class war — between the older and younger citizens. His reasoning is that heavy pension taxes may eventually ac- count for one-fourth of the income of both workers and employers. Then workers and employers would stand to- gether in opposing higher pensions for the senior citizen. The common bond between the employer and worker would grow stronger and the old class war would grad- ually subside. Pensionnaires, including retired union men, would oppose higher wages because they would not prof- it by them. The profile of America is changing. We have more older citizens each year. In the last 60 years the per cent of eligible voters over 49 years old has increased from 24 Page 2 Tuesday, July 22, 1952 to 85. In 1900, the average baby could expect to live 47 | tod: years, but today life expectancy at birth is 68. Despite all this, we are not yet ready to subscribe to the belief that a new class war is inevitable. THE TIN CUP “At a recent mecting of the New York Association for the Blind, in New York City, the discussions got around ~~“toybeggars on the streets of'New York City. One of the speakers made an impassioned plea against dropping coins into the cups of men who wear dark glasses and beg on the, city street: Stanley Wartenberg, blind Director of Employment of the Lighthouse — the Association’s headquarters — said: “‘We know that if these people were really interest- ed in going to work, they could get jobs. We wish ,.. that you wouldn’t give to these people. Investigations have shown that some of them are collecting, not making, $168 | a week,” Mr. Wartenberg was answering a question put to him by an interested person at the meeting. He believes some of the supposedly blind beggars come to New York from as far away as Philadelphia, beg a few days and then go back home to enjoy the profits. Life is a question of checks and balances — to be exact, bank balances. Living at peace with the world requires the consent of both parties to a controversy. Capt.

Al- though based 1600 miles from the New London Submarine Base, Sub- marine Squadron Four went on re- cord as being the first squadron to contribute to the stained Memo- fial windows of the base’s Chapel- on-the-Thames, Atlantic submarine force headquarters here announced lay.

In the first two weeks of this month the treasury ran behind by two billion dollars. The financial district thinks the treasury will soon be borrowing more money—possibly seeking four billion dollars from corporations as a sort of advance payment on next March’s income taxes. Under the impact of defense and other spending the federal debt ‘has hit 263 billion dollars, eight billion higher than a year ago. And the government has borrowed six billion dollars in ‘new money” | since April. July is always a bad month for the treasury, of course. Tax col- lections are slow, while govern- | ment agencies start to spend funds | year. But this July’s two billion dollar | deficit in two weeks compares with |a one billion deficit a year ago, when the Korean War was only a jyear old. This double-time into debt shows how defense spending is now really hitting its stride. The treasury has tried various ; means of meeting this deficit. ‘The total of 91-day treasury bills has |been increased by 1% billion dol- atle bond issue brought in 318 million. A popular marketable bond issue last month in 4% billion. — The treasury hopes its more lib- jerally termed savings bonds will | coax money from the public, which |was cashing in more of the old ; | style savings bonds than it was ; buying. | i Foros when the vessel passed the usually die before they retire and the question whether | force om the sea approaches Misi sen hace. to Communist China, they rest is unanswered.
