Small businessmen are report
ing signs of a business slump.
While mounting prices are a con
tributing factor there is a greater
primary cause.
* * *
“We are being jaw-boned into
a depression,” observers say.
They point to the great number
of bureaucrats, from cabinet
rank cn down, who miss no op
portunity to cry “Wolf.”
* * *
An example of this is the state
ment by Commerce Secretary
Sawyer that heavier taxes, seri
ous shortages, and business con
trols can be expected for many
years to come.
❖ ❖ ❖
Observers say Sawyer may or
may not be a competent Commerce
Secretary. Bui all agree he is ili
e^uipped to assume the role of a
p.ophet; even less qualified in
international relations.

It is pointed out that bureau
crats were almost openly scorn
ful when Gen. MacArthur in July
said the turn in Korea had been
reached.
*❖ * ,
Yet, MacArthur with inspired
American fighting men scored a
success. But since the end of
World War II in 1945 no single
bureau plan for the promotion of
peace has succeeded.
.* * *
According to all reports, there
is now a concerted drive to keep
war scares and rumors flying so
that the people will not get curi
ous about domestic affairs.
* * *
Responsible military men are
saying nothing. Some did explain
how peace could be secured;
were immediately cracked do<n
on by bureaucracy.
* * *
The facts are that socialistic
planners have been uncurbed too
©National Federation of Independent Business
long. That’s the reason for the
present inflation.
*
Now there’s only two alterna
tives. One is to honestly admit
what has happened. The other is
to further socialize private enter
prise.
❖ * *
Washington observers don’t
lock for honesty. They see, in
stead, the drive under way to
further socialize America being
pushed.
* * *
The plan is “Scare them to
death, and a frightened people
will sign away their freedom.”
* * *
In the meantime, bureaucratic
spending of taxes takes weird
foirms. Now, it develops Marshall
Plan funds are being used to
play traffic cop to the world.
** * *
ECA Bulletin #6 reports that
Marshall Plan funds have been
used to build a traffic inspection
station in Athens so Athenian po
lice can check vehicle registra
tion, license plates, brakes and
lights.
* * *
Use of American tax dollars
fpr such purposes could create a
storm that would topple over en
tire bureaus.
* * *
So public attention is kept
focused on a constant series of
alarms. Loud mouthed bureau
crats fail to realize they are
shattering public morale; slow
ing down the American economy.
* * *
And this fact may cause the
eventual disappointment of So
cialist planners.
* * *
For when, and if, they take
over the goose that laid the
golden eggs—independent Amer
ican enterprise—they may find
the goose died from fright.

"According to Dan Cooper, fore
most American designer of homes
(and everything that goes into
homes), the breakfast nook is
about to join the hitching post in
the limbo of forgotten ideas. Mr.
Cooper deplores the existence of
the choppy little breakfast nqok
and gleefully suggests tTt it be
eliminated (with an ax, if neces
sary) from all older homes so
equipped.
All this talk about breakfast
nooks comes as a result of a lunch
eon conversation which I had with
Mr. Cooper on a recent visit to
New York. We met at his show
room on the 67th floor of Rocke
r feller Center,

American housewives of limited
income as I sat there in sumptu
ous atmosphere.
It was pretty obvious to me why
the Cooper name has been associ
ated with the decor of world
famous hotels, public buildings,
and homes of the wealthy. How
ever, I had forgotten that he had
made an equally big name for
himself designing quarters for
war workers during World War II
and for his House of Ideas spon
sored by Collier’s.
“Why do people always feel
that they have to move out of their
houses when they tire of its de
sign?” Mr. Cooper asked me.
“They would find it so much bet
ter to use their imagination in
eliminating a couple of walls in
their present homes. Then, with
the money they saved by not buy
; ing that big expensive new house,
1 they could furnish their old one
i with the kind of furniture and
। fabrics to complement its new de
■ sign.”
Very much in favor of the trend
; toward enlarging kitchens so that
; they can be more comfortable and
colorful, as well as utilitarian, Mr.
' Cooper is all in favor of incorpo
rating the senarate breakfast nook
; into one big kitchen.
He feels that since the house
wife spends a great deal of her
time in the kitchen, it might as
well be a Borax-bright room with
attractive colors and livable fur
niture. It might be nice, he thinks,
for her husband to be able to find
a corner of that kitchen where he
can sit to chat with her as she
gets dinner at night.
In other rooms in the house, Mr.,
Cooper says, the use of color is
determined by personal preference
or by the climate: a red cushion
as a color accent in the South, but
a whole red chair as warmth in
the North.
However, since a decorator is
supposed to interpret the wishes
of his client, there is no reason, ;
Mr. Cooper said, to accept his word i
as law. It’s the client’s house. He ■
has to live in it, not the decorator. :
“These designers who say ।
‘Watch blue’ or ‘Watch cinnamon
brown’ amuse me,” he said. “What |
does it matter if blue is ‘good’ ।
this season if the client doesn’t i
like it? A designer is supposed to ;
make suggestions, not give com- J
mands.”
However, when a client con- ■
suits a decorator, Mr. 'Cooper j
says, his primary reason is to get I
expert advice. While the gentle- I
man behind the wallet may be an ;
expert in the field of advertising, !
he more than likely won’t be an !
expert in fabrics, design, decora- j
tion and architecture. .
and I was im
mediately
awed by the
vastness and

cor of the suite.
To be perfect

Mr. Cooper
for advice to
