What*s Your Time Worth?
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST to feed your family?
That question can be answered only by consid
ering two kinds of “spending.” One is money. The
other is time.
A booklet prepared by the editorial staff of
“Everywoman’s Family Circle” in cooperation with
the National Association of Food Chains tells an
interesting story. According to government figures,
home prepared meals for a family of four for one day
average $4.90 in cost and takes 5.5 hours of the house
wife’s time. Partly prepared meals cost $5.80 and
takes 3.1 hours of time. And ready-to-serve meals
cost $6.70 and requires 1.6 hours of time.
In other words, if the housewife does ^all her own
preparing, the meals will cost about a third less than
if she uses the ready-to-serve types. But she will have
to devote well over three times as many hours to the
cooking task.
What it comes down to, as the booklet puts it,
is “how much is your time worth?” The tremendous
increase in demand for partly and wholly prepared
foods indicates that great numbers of housewives put
high value on their time.
GRASSROOTS OPINION
From the Alma, Michigan, Record: George
Meany, president of the AFL-CIO, stated that labor
would continue to play an even more important role
on the political stage, and if necessary would create a
third party to achieve its objectives. At the same
time Meany was quoted as saying: “My advice to the
business community, and I mean this seriously: they
had better just send their money and stay out them
selves.”
This is a most interesting statement from a man
who also says in the same breath that his organization
is dedicated “to making America the leaders of the
democracies of the world.” Labor leaders have every
right to participate in political activity and to voice
their aims and objectives. Businessmen, farmers and
professional men have the same right. To threaten
or deny any individual his rights to think or act within
the boundaries of the law is to dethrone America as
the leader of the democracies of the world.
Replacement For
Quarles Is Tough
Admin. Problem
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, UP) — President
Eisenhower’s quest of a successor
for Deputy Secretary of Defense
Donald Quarles will be closely
scrutinized by Democrats in
Congress.
Quarles, 64, died unexpectedly
Friday in his sleep.
The Pentagon attributed Quarles’
death to a heart ailment.
A post mortem report by Wal
ter Reed Army Hospital said he
was stricken by “obstructive coro
nary sclerosis.” This is a narrow
ing of the blood vessels of the
heart which in effect shuts off
the blood supply to the heart
muscle.
The former communications in
dustry official had been mentioned
prominently as a possible replace
ment for Secretary of Defense
Neil McElroy, who had told Eis
enhower he wanted to leave his
Pentagon post late this year.
Some of the Congressional Dem
ocrats had looked on Quarles as
one of the Administration officials
who had resisted their demands
for more spending to close the
missile gap with the Soviets.
It had been the impression of
these Democrats that McElroy
leaned heavily on the advice of
Quarles, who technically was more
familiar with details of the de
fense program than almost any
other official. *
McElroy told reporters Friday
that Quarles’ death “will have to
be another factor in considering
what I will do.” He said it will be
a good many months before the
time for his intended resignation
and he will have an opportunity
to consider the matter.
Describing Quarles as “really
irreplaceable,” McElroy said that
fundamentally he favors promot
ing someone within the Defense
Department instead of going out
side.
Quarles will be buried Tuesday
in Arlington National Cemetery,
with military honors.

GENERAL McELROY, a com
mand pilot with 132 missions
and 875 combat hours, holds
the following decorations and
awrds: Legion of Merit with one
oak leaf cluster. Distinguished
Flying Cross with one oak leaf
cluster, Air Medal with three
oak leaf clusters. Bronze Star
and Commendation Ribbon with
three oak leaf clusters. General
McElroy, a long time light plane
enthusiast, was an active mem
ber of Aero Clubs at S.A.C.
bases and at the Air Force
Academy.
General McElroy is the son of
Rev. and Mrs. Charles William
McElroy. He is married to the
former Corabel Dewees of San
Antonio, Tex. They have one
son. Stephen, Jr., age 15.
General McElroy assumes com
mand of the C.A.P. - U.S.AJ’.,
and becomes C.A.P.'s National
Commander, effective last April
1. 1959.
Khrushchev Talks
Of H-bomb Use, On
Eve of Conference
LONDON, UP> — Moscow Radio
said that Soviet Premier Khrush
chev told visiting West German
editors eight hydrogen bombs
would be enough to put West Ger
many out of action.
The broadcast quoted Khrush
chev as saying “obviously not
more” would be needed to take
care of the rest of Western Europe.
In the talk, Khrushchev was
quoted as telling the editors that
the Soviet Union would have
“losses and great ones” in event
of war, but “the Western powers
would be literally wiped off the
face of the earth.”
He said NATO’s bomber force
was out of date and the United
States also was lagging behind
the Soviet Union in rocket tech
nology.
The account of Khrushchev’s
remarks was released by Moscow
almost on the eve of the foreign
ministers conference in Geneva.
Claiming he was threatening
nobody, Khrushchev said a war
would end quickly in a Soviet
victory.

U. S. President Greets
King Baudouin of Belgium
At Washington Ceremony
WASHINGTON, M — Belgium’s
bachelor King Baudouin arrived
by plane today to begin a 21-day
tour of the United States.
President Eisenhower, flanked
by Acting Secretary of State C.
Douglas Dillon, was on hand to
greet the 28-year-old monarch as
he arrived amid full military hon
ors at National Airport.
Baudouin will be a guest of the
President during his three-day stay
in Washington.
His visit is the first official trip

a Belgian monarch, when Bau
douin’s grandfather, King Albert,
visited with Queen Elizabeth.
An honor guard of U. S. Army,
Navy, Air Force and Marine
troops ringed the airport for the
welcoming ceremony. The red,
yellow and black Belgian flag
flew side by side with the U. S.
flag at dozens of locations.
The king arrived after a five
hour stopover at Langley Air -
Force Base, Va. There he rested,
changed clothes, and made a tour
of inspection of the base.
He leaves Thursday for Detroit
on the start of a cross-country
tour ending May 31.
