CAPEHART NATIONAL INSISTS ECONOMY IS ON SOUND BASIS By JACK BELL WASHINGTON «®-—Sen.- Cape- hart (R-Ind), replying to Demo- eratic suggestions that the Eisen- “hower administration may be head- ing the country toward a depres- sion, said Tuesday the national economy is on a sound footing. Capehart, chairman of the Sen- ate Banking Committee, spoke out WHATEVER YOUR NEEDS IN THE LINE OF Children’s TOYS COME TO THE TROPICAL TRADER 718 Duval St. Dial 2-6262 We Have Several Loan Plans to Help You! STOP BY OR PHONE TODAY Our Friendly Representative Will Be Glad To Assist You PHONE 25684 Town Finance Co, of Key West 604 DUVAL ST. (2nd. Floor) after a new Democratic blast at higher U. S. bond interest rates. phrey defended the higher interest rate on a new bond. issue which appeared, from signs in Wall Street and Washington, likely to be heav- ily oversubscribed. Capehart said he sees no factors in the present economic situation that should bring any recession and none indicating any increase in inflationary pressures, “Payrolls are the biggest in our national history, the government still is spending about a billion dollars a week on the defense pro- gram and while farm prices have dropped, they seem to have leveled off,” he said in an interview. However, Sen. Sparkman (D- Ala) joined eight other Democrats and independent Sen, Morse of Oregon in declaring that a boost in interest rates om government bonds, ordered by Humphrey, al- ready is operating to tighten credit for farmers and small businessmen and may bring an economic reces- sion. “Because of the Treasury’s ac- tion, interest rates are going up all over the country,” Sparkman said. “That means it not only is going to cost more for the farmer }or small businessman to borrow | money but in a great many in- stances it means that the banks , Won't make the loans at all. That | already is happening.” . Sparkman said he estimated the |inerease in private lending- rates, as a consequence of the Treasury’s action in offering 30-year bonds at 3% per cent interest, would cost |the average small home buyer $8.33 a month more on his install- | ment payments. * Sen. Humphrey (D-Minn) was a \leader of the group of nine sen- ators who issued Monday a state- ment denouncing the interest rate, highest on such an issue since 1933. | Sen. Humphrey told the Senate the Treasury's action “contains germs of a new depression.” He contended all the signs indicate |“that deflation and not inflation is the current problem.” “Farm prices have been falling substantially since July and are under continuing pressure,” SALES and INSTALLATIONS Micni Awnirig Windows Clearview Louver Windows Aluminum Jal: isies Storm-Stop Awnings Talousie Doors Superior Casements Veneti=n Blinds Canvas Awnings Patio Furniture | Rey West Venetian Blind Co.

But if she’s born with this rafe quality, the world is her apple.” Coburn has either managed or acted with most of the great stars of the stage and screen of the last three generations, But of all the beauties with whom he has shared the spotlight, he can name only a few who, in his opinion, had “that certain thing.” Of all of them, the most glamorous, he says, was the late Minnie Maddern Fiske, first lady of the stage at the turn of the century. Says he: “Aside from my wife, Mrs. Fiske was the most glamorous woman I have ever known. When she was on the stage, people forgot every- ical Co., Claymont, Delaware.
