if You Can't Afford It-Rent It
BY HARRY C. KENNEY
In Christian Science Monitor
NEW YORK —Renting meons a lot of things these
days besides apartments, Th2> “for rent” signs are
getting bigger, bolder, and more beguiling.
For instance, have you ever wanted to go into
busingss but, didn’t have enough money? Well, to
day you can do it. If you need a building, a contrac
tor will build if and rent it back to you. Automobile
fleet salesmen will rent you the number of cars and
trucks you meed. Office-machinery companies will
rent you typewriters, adding machines, office equip
ment, punch-card sorters, and bookkeeping ma=-
chines.
You rent & salesman to rustle in the orders; you
rent & stenographer to do the office chores — and
you're In bushness.
On the other hand, perhaps a vacation is in order
but #he “old bus” just won’t make the “vacation
land of your dreams” 2,000 mi.es away. The answer?
Fly there and rent a car. They are available for SIOO
a menth, and the renting company pays such
charges as insurance, repairs, and about everything
but the gasoline and oil—and it will be a new car.
This renting idea is not a new one, but with the
prices of things what they aie, organizations, busi
nessnren, and individuals are finding out that by the
time eapital outlay, taxes, deterioration, and depre
ciation are added up they spell out a questionable
investment. So, in th‘is day and age, the renting idea
is spreading with considerabje determination across
the land.
Members of thg National Office Machine Dealers
Association are showing considerable interest and
enthusiasm at the way rentals are catching on,
Some es them are paying more attention to mass
ventimg &nd are letting selling fall where it may.
Otherg are just beginning to dip their fingers into
the business and have come up with the expecta
tion that it will expand and grow. Members who
are going in for rentals are in the minority, but the
assoclation sees a fast-growing trend.
Office-machine rentals usually amount tp sev
eral thousand dollars’ worth of equipment but the
amount is constantly increasing. Here and there the
pattern is dotted with exciting items. For instance,
ore company wanted to rent SBOO,OOO of such
eauipment. It did not want to tie up that much
capital and figured it could save money when dee
preciating factors were added up.
Office-machine renters have a good “sales” line,
too. They point out that the company pays the re
pair bills or produces new machines of the latest
models. There is no capital outlay, and the entire
rental cost is deductible on tax returns.
Rental costs differ in various parts of the coun
try, but typewriters usually cost $5 a month, or
$12.50 for three months. Adding machines rent for
$7.50 to S2O a month, calculators, S3O to $35.
In regard to automobiles, an additional angle
was brought eut by John W. Rollins, president of
the Delaware Company of Rollins Fleet Leasing
Company. He said that new corporate tax laws are
causing rapid conversion frem company-owned or
gsalesman-owned cars to outright leasing plans.
Mr, Rollins said his firm was being swamped
with inquiries and that 600 were received during
the past month. He goes on to predict that . . .
“the use of the eight-cent-per-mile compensation
for salesmen’s ¢ars will be virtually extinet in three
to five years.”
. This trend is emphasized by the adoption of the
method by such companies as Westinghouse Elec
tric Company, Radio Corporation of America,
Jones & Laughlin Steel, and American Cynamid, to
nane a few. One executive said that his company’s
flo»t of 500 rented cars provided many advantages
ar saved money.
1.2 pointed out that the cost of the fleet was only
$390,000 a year, paid monthly, instead of a $1,000,-
009 immediate capital investn.ent. This factor also
enabled the company to know month by month
exact transportation costs minus expensive paper
work and bookkeeping. And again—total rental ex
pense is tax deductible. ’
There are nearly 50 car-rental firms doing a nat
ional business of about $50,000,000 a year and 500~
car customers are not unusual for many of these
concerns.
Rates vary according to the section of the coun-
Jtry, the kind of use the cars will be put to, and the
number of cars rented.
.Ot course, the renting companies have a few
problems to handle. One is to raise nearly $1,000,000
in capital, to start a good, going business. The other
is to know when, where, and how to dispose, at the
right selling time, of their used cars scattered all
over the country.
Perhaps all of this is pointing to a new trend in
Ameriea similar to the early days of installment
‘buying. It could well be a major economic factor
with guestionable as well as favorable results. Some
of the guestions that come up include: Are the pro
~ducts getting so expensive that business and indi
viduals ceannot own them? Is this a major trend
away from an old American tradition that owner
_ ship meant substance and a contribution to sound
family welfare and national strength and pros
_ perity?

Korean Truce Talks Prove One
Way Of Fighting
.
Menace Of Global Communism
In all the hullaballoo that attended the Republi
can Convention, some other news got pushed back
in the papers. You may have missed the story, for
example, that told of the first anniversary of the
beginning of the truce talks in Korea.
It was July 10, 1951, that an Army helicopter
bounced to a stop on a dusty field in Kaesong. The
UN truce team got out and began the deliberations
that have been, in turn, hepeful, annoying, mad
dening- and, nowadays, downright frustrating.
Statistically, there has been quite a record
amassed during the talks at Kaesong and Panmun
jom. The reports that have been taken form a stack
that stands seven feet hign.
All in all, UN and Communist negotiators have
conversed for a total of almost 800 hours. Which is
a lot of sound and fury to signify nothing, or almost
nothing. -
This situation is difficult to fathom. There are
many who believe the Reds are deliberately stall
ing, to permit a build-up ¢f their forces. But how
long does it take to accomplish that?
Their feared spring offensive never materialized.
Their feared summer offensive has not, as yet,
shown itself. They've had ample time to strengthen
themselves for a major assault.
So, perhaps, the Reds’ motives in holding up a
decent truce are deeper than just stalling tactics so;
military reasons. There is nruch to the theory that
their motives, indeed, go far beyond another offen
sive.
What have the Reds got to gain from another big
push? Our generals have tinie and again insisted
that we can beat back any Communist attack. And
the Reds, in small assaults, have discovered the
truth of those claims. So thne Communists have
nothing to gain, except bloodshed, in further offen
sives.
What have the Reds got tc gain from a complete
truce, a cessation of hostilities? They’ve been forced
back to the 38th Parallel, back to where they
stagted. They’ve been beaten. The UN had suc
ceeded in its aim of driving -themr out of South
Korea. A complete truce at the present line would,
in reality, be a defeat for communism.
Their only alternative is tinis present stalemate.
With the status as it is now, they can rightly claim
the war is still going on. They can make propa
ganda speeches about victory still to come. The stale
mate is their cgy chance to salvage something from
their evil adventure, )
As long as it exists, they are still in business in
Korea. As soon as truce comes, or they attack again
and are beaten decisively, they expose thenrselves
as losers. So they are, presumably, prolonging the
discussions for the precise purpose of prolonging
the discussions.
It is up to the UN negotiating team to try to reach
a truce. From our standpoint, that is much prefer
able to beating the Reds on the battlefield. Both
will mean victory, but one will also mean more
bloodshed.
That’s why our negotiators endure the endless
insults and propaganda of their opposite numbers
on the Communist team.
And that's why, as these tedious talks turn to
their second year, we must nut underestimate their
importance. Like our negotiators, we must have
patience.
Danes Need West's Business;
Let's Find A Way To Deliver
- For a while there was great to-do over the fact
that Denmark was delivering a 13,000-ton tanker to
Russia, a business transaction that provoked Wash
ington to warn that U. S. miiitary and economic aid
might be withdrawn if the Danes went through with
the deal. >
Now that the tanker has been delivered, after all,
and Washington’s protest has faded to a faint mut
tering, like a passing thunderstorm, it turns out that
Denmark was living up to a contract made with
Russia long before the U. S. imposed a ban on the
export of strategic materials to Iron Curtain coun
tries.
Nobody in the Western world likes to see Russia
being supplied with anythin that is embraced by
the ternr strategic. But Italy and The Netherlands
have been shipping materials behind the Iron Cur
tain, too, without feeling any pinch on their aid
from the United States.
Like Italy and The Netherlands, Denmark has to
do business with somebody o keep alive. She can't
swap her copious food products with England for
coal, because England hasn’t the coal to spare.
She can’t export cheese to America any more—
although cheese has been one of Denmark’s biggest
dollar trade items—because we've built a new tariff
wall on foreign cheese.
Maybe the answer would be to find a way for
Denmark to do more business with the West. After
all, it's a little hard to condemn the Danes for liv
ing up to the sanctity of a contract, particularly in
an age when a broken promise seems to be the rule
rather than the exception. :
The same people who led this fight for the meat
axe cuts in Asia are the same people who howled
the loudest about losing China. — President Harry
Truman.
We must, as a people, hold fast to our faith and
ideals which are fundamental in a free system.—
General Eisenhower. ‘
We stand a very grave prospect that local spots of
unemployment will snowball and spread contag
iously into a general recession. — Economist Dr.
Edvin C. Nourse.

Candidate Eisenhower
By WADE JONES »
NEA Staff Writer
Shortly after World War I,
Eisenhower was ofdered to a tour
of duty in the Canal Zone and
there, on a second-story screen
porch which he called his war
room, he got a lesson on things to
come which he never forgot and
which must have accounted large
ly for his future enthusiasm for
the military. :
His commanding officer, Gen.
Fox Conner, startled young Ike
with the pronouncement that
World War I had sclved nothing.
Conner was vehement as he
urged Ike to prepare himself for
what was to come.
“I mean you in particular,” he
suddenly shouted. “I've worked
with you for two years now. I
know that fine brain of yours, its
skill and foresight, and the drive
of your energy. Men will always
follow you because they like you
‘and put their trust in you. Those
qualities wlil be wanted some
time, desperately. The moment
you leave here, get to Leaven
worth. You must qualify at the
‘General Staff ScHool.”
Thanks to Conner, Ike did get
to the General Staff School and
came out the top man in his class.
That was in 1926 and he was a
‘major,
* - >
~ In 1932, he was serving with
Gen. Douglas MacArthur, chief of
’stafr, during the Washington
bonus army march. He became
MacArthur’s aide a year later, and
from 1935 to late 1939 was Mac~
Arthur’s right hand man in the
Philippines. It was there he
learned to fly a plane and picked
up 300 flying hours.
Five days after Pearl Harbor,
lke was on his way from Fort
Sam Houston, Tex., to Washing
ton, over the long road that was
to lead to the heart of a smashed
and defeated Germany. .
In February, 1942 he was made
assistant chief of staff in charge
of war plans, and the next month
he made major general. In May
of that year Gen. George C. Mar
shall, chief of staff, sent Ike on
an inspection trip to England.
* * *
When he got back to the Penta
gon, Gen, Marshall had him in for
a long conference and discussed
the African plan in detail.
| Finally Marshall asked, “In
your opinion, are the plans as
nearly complete as we can make
them?”
“Yes, sir,” Ike replied. “I con
' sider them excellent.”
“That’s lucky,” said Marshall
with a twinkle in his eye. “Be
cause you're going to carry them
out.”
The North African campaign re
lsulted in a tremendous victory
lwith a total of 252,415 German
| and Italian prisoners taken in the
|final days sovth of Tunis.

Franklin D. Roosevelt in Africa
as the latter was returning from
the Teheran conference.
~ “You'd better pack your duds,”
Roosevelt casually told him.
“You're going to London.” And
that was the first Ike knew he and

Yet how could an intelligent man
