Says we need to step on the gas —not on needless brakes. The spectres confronting us today are the manifold regulatory agencies of the Federal Government, whose existence was not contemplated by our Constitution and whose all.pervasive powers and activities go largely unrealized today by the average citizens. Too many of our people are going more or less blithely through life under the mis¬ and v medical care measure is essentially the thq^4o>^which strenuous objections have been raised byrtlie medical profession and many others who fear such steps are in the direction of what is known as socialized medicine. There is very considerable potency in many of these opposition arguments. As a matter of fact, movements of this sort and threats of further action of this type have already led to the inclusion of a good deal of creeping, socialism in many, if not all, , the socalled cooperative plans for insuring medical care and doubtless are creeping into other plans. Very consider¬ able pressure is exerted upon practicing physicians and surgeons to provide care for men and women of low incomes at rates below1 that generally charged.

We have arrived at the unhappy point at which the Cyclopean eye of some many ways almighty regulatory agency is upon us when we buy or sell, ship or receive, hire or fire, grow or manufacture, save or spend, drink or diet, profit or lose, talk or listen. Furthermore, many of these regulatory agencies exercise unusual powers in that they first promul¬ gate regulations which have the force and effect of law, then enforce them, and later adjudicate them. w Non-Elected Officials facet of this complex regulatory that deserves mention is that the commis¬ another over our agencies who exercise such economic and social system are force actually prepare the regulations, en¬ adjudicate them are lower-level staff who and personnel whose role and deliberations in decision making are almost impossible to determine.

Turning the to of uses funds in the lower half of the Table, it is that interesting total to think we note the* be reached for 1962 amounts to $56.8 billion, as compared with $48.5 billion in 1961. Reviewing the individual items for of 1962 may briefly, the figure $5.1 billion for the net increase of corporate bonds is about at the level same the in 1961. as We believe net increase of corporate outstanding will be around stock $2.2 billion below this local somewhat figure of $5.2 year, The 1961. billion for issues of state and net bonds this is not year ex¬ pected, to depart greatly from the amount in On the budget estimates we have the of increase net this 1961. basis of placed Federal $6.5 billion, at year debt as com¬ pared with $6.1 billion last year.

Based on some rise crease of housing starts we are guessing that 1-4 family residential mort¬ gage credit billion this increase will $12.5 moderately more than in 1961. Likewise, trends in apartment and commer¬ cial and industrial mortgage fi¬ nancing suggest a rise of "other mortgages" this year to $6.5 bil¬ lion as compared with $5.4 billion year, in 1961.
