'Onward And Upward, But Not Too Far1. Robert Spivack Why Blood Was Let SQUARE WITH '-4'. Recession Never Came Businessmen were right to be gloomy last year. Their expectation of a recession was well founded. Analysis of what actually took place shows that all the signs for a recession were there.

Only it didn't come off. It was a near miss. The late Per Jacobsson cf the International Monetary Fund found, after a close study, that the country had been in a mild inflationary recession. The current monthly Business, Review of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia calls it "the recession that did not happen." The National Bureau of Economic Research of New York characterized it as a "quasi-recession." The auguries were right for a recession in the early months last year: Profits slipped, the rate of inventory accumulation fell off sharply after the steel wage settlement, durable goods orders dropped, the stock market plunged, the factory work week shrank, the unemployment rate rose, wholesale prices of manufactured materials softened, industrial production levelled, business spending for plant and equipment declined. But the big overall drop strangely held off.

Dr. Geoffrey Moore, business cycle expert at the National Bureau of Economic Research, described the occurrance as typical of business recoveries before the war a sharp upswing, a pause, and a spurt of expansion. The 1962 pause was the worst of the four post-war false alarms that came in 1947, 1951 and 1956. It came to light as economists rubbed their eyes and studied the recent upturn. A detailed report this week confirms the rise in the first quarter in the gross national product to an annual rate of $572 billion, beating all expectations, including those of the U.

S. Treasury on which the federal budget is based. The main divergence is that consumer spending did not figure as strongly in the rise and capital spending and inventory building were stronger. It was a close call. But it does not mean that the business cycle has been repealed.

It is still very much in effect. Only, it can be modified. The built-in offsets helped. So did business confidence. But federal acts lightening the depreciation for tax purposes helped most The near miss should encourage Congress to give a thought to more tax relief for business.

A little consideration for business held back a recession. Real tax relief for business could lift the fear of recession and its consequences for all of us. two kinds of white men the boss and the, cops." ii In other towns, Optowsky con tinued, there Is often gossip of what goes on in the back room nf tho police station house. "There was no need for a back room in Birmingham. The cops often beat Negroes senseless in full publio view on the street." When these angry, frightened Negroes learned that the home of Rev.

King's brother had been bombed and that the headquarters motel of the integraiionist move- ment was destroyed, they lost their heads. Undoubtedly fortified with whiskey, never too sure that "non-violence" could work and scared thsy drove the police from their Negro ghetto and wanted to be left alone. 1 Read this account against the background of "Ten Negroes," a brilliant series of artices written for the New York Herald Tribune by Robert S. Byrd, its national correspondent, and you begin to understand what ferment there is in the Negro community. Byrd is one of the best reporters in the nation, a sensitive man, with deep personal insights into the feelings and thoughts of others.

He went about his job of interviewing Negro leaders with all the, skill of a craftsman and all the curiosity of a foreign visitor to these shores. For many whites his reporting was startling and shocking. But two points stand out in my mind. First, the white man's misconcep- tion that "the Negro" is an entity i all by himself. Byrd found many Negroes with many view points "which are very diverse indeed." He also found something else unthinkingly that they were a separate group of Americans, one which was in the process of slowly but surely winning its way to full acceptance and participation." The Birmingham riot excited many people and worried manyc others.

But it really did not prove that the pessimists on both sides were right. The lesson it teaches is that there are two principal ways in which Negroes are going to react to denial of their rights. They will demonstrate, remon- strate, go to court. Or they will become convinced more and more, that they must take things in their own hands and fight for their-rights, in the streets if necessary. One thing is sure.

The days of docility are over. WASHINGTON There are fatalists who say that things were going too well at Birmingham after the white businessmen and Negro leaders had finally come to tarms, and that the Saturday night riots were inevitable. There are the hesitant who say the turn of events "proved" that the Rev. Martin Luther King was moving too quickly, that he should have counselled delay to give the hew mayor a chance to come to grips with the city's racial There are the Black Muslims who say it proves that the nonviolent method does not work, that the "white" is an implacable enemy who will only make concessions when force is used, or threatened. There are the diehard segregationists who say it shows the Negroes are wild and unruly and can be kept under control only by severe repressive measures, Frequently when violence erupts every man tends to see in it what he wants to see.

All of us want to have our prejudices confirmed. Birmingham was no exception. Yet when passions are spent and we begin to take stock, things are not always quite so simple as theyt seem. In the case of the Birming- ham riot details are now coming forth which indicate that the riot was not "inevitable," that it did not "prove" Rev. King's timing was wrong, or otherwise confirm the dire predictions of the white or Negro segregationists.

It had a character of its own. We are learning that just as there are many kinds of "whites" there are also many kinds of Negroes, even in Birmingham. There is no such thing as "the Negro." There are Negroes and there are Negroes. A perceptive on-the-scene account of what happened at Birmingham was written by Stan Opo-towsky, a former New Orleans newspaperman who now works for the New York Post. He told who the rioters were and who they were not.

"They were not," he reported, "the fresh-faced youngsters who paraded so solemnly tor justice they were not those parents who stood proudly by as they saw their children off to jail." Instead they were the poorest of the poor, the least educated Negroes of Birmingham. They were the Negroes who have known "only Ralph McGill Writes Birmingham Makes Us Vulnerable Air mail brought cuttings from portrayal of Birmingham's violent It is not denied that White Citi- newspapers in the new African efforts to deny equal use of public zens Councils of Mississippi have countries showing treatment of the to its colored citizens. had contacts fti leaders of South One paper mocks us, asking it Birmingham riots and bombings real difference African segregationists That the within four days after the first leadership of two Southern states brutalities.

It is quite likely that the weather-beaten Faith 7 capsule in which Maj. Gordon Cooper orbited to fame will be preserved for posterity. And It may be viewed in the Smithsonian Institution In Wash- i ington along with Col.

John Glenn's Friendship 7 and Lindbergh's Spirit of St Louis. By strange coincidence, Cooper's marathon flight took place 36 years to the day when Col. Charles A. Lindbergh became the first to solo the Atlantic. Lindbergh's privately financed exploit took 33'i hours to cover 3,600 miles while Cooper traveled 596,000 miles farther in one hour longer to orbit the globe 22 times.

Millions of hysterically proud Americans have acclaimed Cooper's epochal adventure and, for the moment, completely oblivious to the cost When sanity is restored to the nation, there will be thoughtful debate over the importance of another scientific accomplish-' meat. It is possible that the Project Mercury one-man flights will be set aside to concentrate on Project Gemini. The next spectacular, tentatively set for October, 1964, will blast off two astronauts to circle the earth in the same spaceship. It is proposed to launch a two-man spacecraft in September, without a crew to test the new-type Titan rocket. Initial flights are scheduled in 1965 to try out the three man Apollo ship designed to enter the race to the moon.

i If all preliminary tests are successful, a non-stop voyage around the moon will be tried in 1967 and a lunar landing before 1970. This ambitious timetable is enough to inflame the imagina-. tion of the most skeptical of Americans but the cost will reach astronomical figures. It is roughly estimated that the feat of landing an American on the moon will cost at least $20 billions and the whole U. S.

space effort several times $20 billions. Even the Congress, hardened by the experience of appropriating vast sums in casual stride, is lifting startled eyebrows. It would be folly, perhaps, to venture a plaintive voice in protest for Russia has smugly goaded the U. S. into a competitive race into space.

It cannot be denied that America's outer world explorations have infused billions of dollars into the lifestream of the national economy. But a few men of courage are beginning to call attention to the unfinished business on earth that has strong claims of our resources. And the welfare of the people who are buffeted by problems of their own deserves some consideration in an era of colossal spending.

A United States Air Force helicopter sighted the stranded men and plucked them off the moving ice. While few persons will ever find themselves in such a predicament, there are times when one feels cut off from everybody and everything drifting aimlessly and helplessly towards nowhere, There is a natural temptation to'lapse into despa'r under such disheartening circumstances. But as easy as it is to give in to gloomy pessimism, it is important to remember that hopelessness only makes a bad situation even worse.

It cripples initiative and discourages a person from even trying. No matter how desperate things may seem, make sure you do not guarantee defeat by becoming completely cynical. Keep hoping, praying and trying for a solution, and you will have at least done your best. "If you remain indifferent in time of adversity, your strength will depart from you."

THE PREVENTION, treatment and cure of meningitis is a testimonial to medical advance. Before the advent of sulfa and the antibiotics, this dread disease was It was not many years ago that victims of cerebral palsy were mistakenly identified by the laity as mentally retarded persons.

The painful advice to parents of cerebral palsy children was to reconcile themselves to the sad and hopeless fate that their children would never be able to function on any productive level, Then a sudden spurt of scientific and social enlightenment occurred about 15 yeas ago. Patients who had been relegated! to a life of social neglect and physical uselessness were surprisingly found to have Intellectual and cultural 'potential. The realization had come that there was not necessarily any de-f ficiency of intelligence or intellectual capacity associated with cerebral palsy. 1 Cerebral palsy is a condition caused essentially by damage to the brain before, during or immediately after birth. The loss of muscular control and co-ordination are characteristic of cerebral palsy.

There is at present no cure for the brain damage that has occurred. Scientific investigation is aimed mostly at the prevention of the disease. The real gratification to patients and their families and to medical observers has been the wonderful achievements in the physical rehabilitation and educational programs that have been instituted for these palsied patients. The philosophic concept of rehabilitative medicine is nowhere better illustrated than in the return to society of increasing numbers of cerebral palsy patients. nerable.

Those who were fortunate enough to survive were often left withi severe after-effects. iMeningitis 'is an inflammation of the meninges a protective covering of the brain and spinal The meningococcus bacteria is one of many that can cause meningitis. Meningitis occurred with great, frequency in army camps. This highly contagious disease found fertile ground for rapid transmis- sion among the many men who had never before been exposed to' the meningococcus bacteria that caused it and had never developed' any immunity.
