Doubts 30s to Return: Meador Explains 3 Slump Types Dr. L. E. Meador yesterday outlined three forms of economic disturbance to the Downtown Kiwanis the seasonal, the secular and the business cycle depression. The seasonal slump seems to be unusual this year, he noted.

Secular disturbances are matters well-known to Americans except that most people haven't heard them called that name. They can result from inventions or changes in the way of life. Citing the railroads as an ample, Dr. Meador said: "The railroads have yet to make the final adjustment. Legislation is needed now to allow the railroads to combine for large scale production." Despite this real need, he said, the railroads are still suffering from the effects of anti-trust legislation passed many years ago.

The bituminous coal industry, faced with competition from oil and gas, is another example of secular disturbance, Dr. Meador said. His final example of the changing times was the farmer. The horse, he said, is being relegated to the museum, and the adjustment for the farmer will be when ail farms tend to be larger. As for the depression and its place in the cycle, Dr.

Meador declared: "I hope we have learned what to do to prevent its worst aspects. I believe we will never see what happened in the '30s, the '70s and the '90s." In the last great depression stock speculators 42 billion dollars and land speculators a like amount, Dr. Meador said. It gave the economy a wallop, but tighter regulations will keep it from happening again, he said. Dr.

Meador noted the present stock market has recovered a third of its losses from a low point in October. He also believed that with insured deposits the day of bank and building and loan association failures is "about over." "I hope that sort of thing has been corrected for all he said. Inflation, he said, is caused by too much purchasing power in relation to goods available for purchase. Dr. Meador favors a balance between the two factors for a stable economy and said such a balance is hard to maintain with government deficit spending.

Dr. Meador noted auto produetion is off 20 percent and believed the plants may be producing cars people don't want. Normal steel production is about 80 percent of capacity, he said, and operations are at about 54 cent now. Dr. Meador said he believed America, in working to provide safeguards against depression, has proved Karl Marx's theory of the "inevitable" depression under capitalism wrong.

For instance, he said, prices went up from 1921 to 1928, but wages didn't rise at all. Labor now has purchasing power, he said, "and that is a favorable situation. Meador also mentioned elderly people, who he said have eight to 10 billion dollars worth of purchasing power through social security, unemployment tion and old age assistance. Farmers now get long-term loans at low interest and are not likely to be foreclosed the way they were in the '30s, he belleved. a.

He mentioned a rise in home building and a public works program Congress approved in 1946 but didn't need to use as absorbed the men of the armed forces. Dr. Meador spoke of changing of the rediscount rate and said the last thing the government will do if necessary is to cut taxes. Hope is seen by Dr. Meador in the fact that factories received more orders the first few days of March than in all February and that steel production has stepped up in March.

Their close friends are busy whispering that the marriage is all over It's not easy to keep up with Brigitte Bardot's romantic but there is evidence to indicate that her mad passion for Gilbert Becaud (who's already taken) serves to distract attention from her even wilder attachment to an important diplomat whose career would be ruined if his connection with the voluptuous young French star ever became public.

(Copyright, 1958, King Features Syndicate, Inc.) Growing Annuals Is Easy; Their Blooming Season Long By HENRY L. PREE I NEA Garden Editer An annual plant, says the dictionary, is one which completes its life cycle in a single year. Grown from seed sown in early spring it produces its flowers, matures its seeds, and dies, all between the last and first frost of any spring and autumn.

One of the several advantages of growing annuals is their comparatively low cost. In many cases it is possible to raise a thousand plants from a 25 cent packet of seed. Annuals are of great value from a decorative point of view because of their long season of bloom and their ability to provide color SO 500n after the perennials and bulbs have passed. They are unequalled as cut flowers. "Growing annuals is easy" writes Dorothy Jenkins in her book "The Indispensable Annuals." "If it were not, why doer we usually start children on a career in gardening with a packeting of sweet alyssum or zinnia seed?" The ideal seeding mixture is made up of equal parts sand, humus and garden loam.

She was member of the Assembly of God Church and the widow of the late John Wells, a prominent poultry dealer, who died in 1947, Survivors are two daughters, Mrs. Louise Inman, Houston, Exactly at one she came out of her house wearing a neat red suit which wasn't for -it didn't do much to her chunky figure. She held a large paper folder and a pocketbook under her left arm. I watched the doorways, the parked cars, but couldn't make anybody shadowing her as she slowly walked toward Broadway. We walked along Forty-second Street on opposite sides of the street.

Alongside Bryant Park they got her. There was a tall wiry guy who fell in behind her did it fast then slowed down. He was about 35, wearing a new coconut palm hat and one of these corny gray flannel suits, as if sure it made him look the executive type. Coming toward her was a lumpy joker built like a fat football player, dressed in an old plain brown suit and no hat on his noggin, baldness giving his thin hair a horshoe shape. He seemed to be reading a letter.

The guy back of Rose closed in and lumpy in front of her walked into Rose. He knocked her backward against wiry who neatly hit the folder and pocketbook out frown under her arm as he caught her. The papers and the pocketbook landed in the gutter which a sanitation truck had sprinkled a few minutes before. Beefy boy was all apologies while wiry pointed to his ankle, rubbed it, and said something to Rose--probably told her to watch where she was walking. Bully boy even picked up her wet papers "accidentally" stepping on her purse.

He handed the stuff to her, full of apology. I'd read about rough-shadowing but this was the first time I'd ever seen it. A 250 pound lump walking into you is a rugged wallop. Rose seemed shaken but not hurt. She continued on to the library while horseshoe head went over toward Broadway.

I followed him wishing I'd had Danny with me to tail the wiry joker. Bully' boy took his time walking up Broadway, window-shopping in a couple of stores, stopping for an orange drink. He turned into an office building and we both went into the same elevator. The light panel said there were 16 floors. he called out, said, (To Be Continued) plant growth at the expense of the number of flowers.

Soaking the seed in warm water for a few hours before sowing will hasten germination. Seed is sown about inch deep, packing the soil firmly after sowing. The soil should be kept moist until seedlings are established and then watered thoroughly when dry. Seed should germinate in one or two weeks, depending upon the weather. When the first pair of true leaves appears, it is time to thin out, or to transplant.

Space seedlings 2 inches apart in flats if grown on in hot bed-or 6 to 10 inches apart. if grown directly in the garden. In no case should annuals be placed in the garden while there is still danger of late frost. Plants should not be set out until the soil has been loosened and culti-. vated.

To recominend the basic annuals is easy--since, with little care oththan providing a fair soil and water when rains fail, the followwill satisfy even the most stidious of gardeners and flower arrangers. My selection consists of cosmos, ageratum, scabiosa, zinnias, marigolds, petunias, Salpiglossis, stocks, Calendula, dwarf dahlias, snapdragon, verbenas and Nicotiana for evening perfume. Of course no gardener will neglect the lovely tuberous begonlas and Impatiens, two excellent plants for the shady place where nothing else will bloom. For a gardener who delights in fragrant bouquet 1 suggest bed of the following annuals: sweet sultan, wallflower, heliotrope, candytuft, sweet william, mignonette and sweet alyssum. In addition to the two above mentioned lists suggest these few annuals because they too produce excellent flowers for cutting: Calendula, babies' 1 breath, nasturtium, verbena and Bridge WEEKLY BRIDGE QUIZ (Copyright 1958 by The Chicago Tribune) Q.
