WTASHINGTON, D. C.—(NEA)—A great big guess aa u> wnat u£c I
" will be like in I960 has just been made by Kipiingor's Magazine,
published here. It is based primarily on a voluminous Twentieth
Century Fund study called "America's Needs and Resources." But
the Kiplinger experts have doctored up this high- j
powered economic treatise with some original ideas
of their own. Such as the one that bubble gum
of 1060 wilt alsr whistle. Do you think you can
stand it?
Right at the beginning, the predictions ere based
on two big if's—IF the world can avoid a war and
IF it can avert another depression. It it can't do
both—welt, the book says a lot of people just
won't be aruur.d to compare notes.
Even taking the optimistic view that war and
depression can be averted, the experts predict
Europe still won't be settled down. At home there
will still be strikes and lockouts and rackets, sick-
ness, poverty and crime. Human nature and the economic machinery
will still have kinks.
IT. S. population will be about 155 million, roughly 10 per cent
more than today. Sixty million people will be at work, but there
will always be some three million temporarily unemployed. The
work week will be 35 hours. In general, people wilt be making and
doing about the same things they make and do today.
rTTHE living standard will be about a third higher than It was in 1940,
■* but. to show what this means, examples are given for three typical
families, with incomes of 1150, 8266 and 51000 a month.
The $I2£00-a-year family will live in a custom-built house in the
suburbs, and may commute by helicopter to city limits.
At the other end of the scale, the $l800-a-year family wilt stilt
have tough, going. It will live In a 20-year-old house, with a second-
hand radio-phonograph and mechanical refrigerator, but still no car.
The average guy will be making S319G a year, including a little
profit-sharing and a guaranteed annual wage. The house the average
family lives in should be bette- than today's.
Garbage cans will be fewer because more home disposal units will
be in service. Insects wilt be fewer. Heme laundries will be more
automatic Maids wilt be scarcer, but houso-cteaning corporations
will send a squad around once a week to scrub floors and wash
windows. In spite of gadgets, housewives wilt still work long hours.
People wilt still be eating too much starch and sugar, not enough
green and yellow vegetables. There will still be just as much indiges-
tion, and patent medicines will still be sold, but dentists wilt have
television on the ceiling. There won't be enough doctors, but pre-
paid health insurance and clinics for group practice will be catching
on. Mental hospitals will still' be crowded.
'THERE will be more federal aid for education, but it will stitl be
* difficult for many people to see things even half-way straight. |
There will be 45 million cars on the road, instead of today's 30-odd i
million} New cars will have television, telephone, one tray of ice- |
cubes and underseat toilets. Tires and upholstery will last as long as
the car. The traffic probtem will be terrific, but a few cities will t
have eliminated rush hour by making people park ears in suburbs
and use high-speed urban 'transit systems.
Private flying will still not have caught on. Airplane fares wilt be
three cents a mite. The 1947 "train of tomorrow" will be on a branch- j
line milk run in Georgia. Atomic energy wilt just be coming into
general use. A rocket will have been shot to the moon.
The clothes of all three ineomc groups will look pretty much alike,
though they differ in quality. Cotton and wool will still be com-
peting with synthetics. |
Prices will be a little tower than in 1947 bat won't be back to pre- ,
war levels. In the 1950's the. wholesalers and retailers will finally j
get together and begin to shave prices to stop the recession.
That is something you simply roust wait to see.
"VEW YORK—(NEA)—Brooklyn, bringing up outfielder Calvin HoA
Abrams next spring, recalls John J. McGraw's long search for a*
good Jewish ballplayer.
The Giants' scouts closest approach to finding a Benny Leonard in a
baseball uniform was Andy Cohen,'
but not even the more rabid en-
tirmtagtiT make that itifffntf
baseman anything but a pleasant,
welt-mannered mediocrity.
White the Giants* foragers were
beating the brush and raising the
dust of baseball's wastelands, a
Jewish boy of tremendous poten-
tialities performed for Monroe
High in the Bronx, not too £ar
from the Polo Grounds. Paul
Krichell of the ever-alert Yankees
had the inside track on him, but
higlby Intelligent Hank Greenberg
had had a look, .^t Iron Man Lou
Gehrig, and promptly signed with
the Tigers.
McGraw liver*, he would
have seen a fistful of Jewish
players at the Polo Grounds. The
Giants had five during one of the
earlier war years—pitcher Harry
Feldman, catcher Harry Banning,
first baseman Phil Welntraub,
third baseman and outfielder Sid
Gordon and outfielder Nick Arno-
vich.
Goody Rosen, late of the Dodg-
ers, had one pretty good year in
the National League, but was too
small and didn't bit the ball far
enough.
Now comes Cal Abrams, hope-
ful of ending the Superbas' quest
for a long-baQI hitter. And tike
the fabled Persian who sold his
farm to search the world for dia-
monds, ifhly to return home broke
and weary to find people digging
gems in his old backyard, Abrams
Is a Flatbush boy.
Leaving high school, Abrai
fashioned a bit of sand lot bail, ai
when there was need of a young
ftychaser to finish the 1942 season
at Glean in the Pony League, the
finger was put on Calvin and he
hied himself upstate. The follow-
ing January he went into the
Army.
Discharged early last year, al-
most three years to the day after
his enlistment, Abrams hit .331 in
123 games to pace the Danville
club of the Three-I League, swiped
20 bases.
This past season Abrams was
with Mobile, where he rolled up
203 hits in 154 games for an aver-
age of .345, again leading the club.
Among those 203 hits was a
home run Abrams manufactured
in Little Rock early in the season.
Although primarily a line-drive
hitter, Cal really caught hold of
that one, and the ball left the park
475 feet from the olate, and at an
altitude of about 15 feet.
Abrams, only 24 next March, is
left-handed all the v.-ay, is a speed
merchant, has the knack of getting
on base, as was proven when he
led the Association in bases-on-
balls and runs scored.
Cal Abrams only has to keep it
up against National I.cngue pitch-
ing to be the man John McGraw
pursued to the end oi the rainbow
only to have the misty arc fade
before his eager, clutching fingers
