U.S. Population Grows Faster Than Expected

By LOUIS CASSELS United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (UP) - The population of the United States is growing much faster than experts expected. It already has passed the '■‘peak" it was supposed to reach in 1990. The present rate. of population increase—l.7 per cent a year—is more than double that of the 19305. If it keeps up, America will have more than 228 million persons to feed, clothe, house, educate, employ and transport by 1975. 771656 facts now are receiving earnest attention at the highest levels of government and business. They have, in the words of Dr. Joseph S. Davis of President Eisenhower's Council of Economic Advisers, “profound significance" for the future of the nation and for each individual who will be hunting a Job, going to college, buying a home or building a factory in the next 20 years. Some results of the baby boom which has been underway since World War II already are obvious — in overcrowded e 1 e m e n tary schools and muchrooming suburban housing developments. But other important implications of the rapid population growth “are not yet widely appreciated,” Davis said in an interview. Increased Consumer Demand Without making any attempt to guess future birth rates, Davis pointed out some of the ways in which U.S. life will be affected simply by the'growing up of babies already born: . —There will be a sharp increase in consumer demand starting in a few years, as postwar children reach their teens. Teen-agers eat more, they spend more for clothes and entertainment. They buy used cars, cigarets, record-players and sports equipment. This increased demand will be a stimulus to economic expansion. —The number of boys and girls reaching their 18th birthday—the traditional age for going to college or starting to work — will climb rapidly in the 19605. Competition for jobs, especially the kind of jobs that offer a good beginning for a career, is likely to be intense. Getting into college may be even harder than finding a job. Population projections indicate that U.S. colleges will have to double their capacity in the next 15 years if they are to handle the tidal wave of applicants approaching their doors. —The median age for marriage now is slightly over 20. As successive waves of postwar children arrive at this threshhold age, there will be a' big jump in the annual rate of “household formations." This is an economist's term for newly married couples who enter the market for homes, furniture and appliances. More household formations means a rise in demand for housing and durable goods. Some economists, such as Prof. Joseph J. Spengler of Duke University, believe that rapid population growth poses a serious longrange threat to U.S. prosperity. They foresee growing shortage of natural resources, rising costs of production as the pressure of demand forces industry to tap submarginal sources of raw materials, and a general downward slide in living standards. A Stimulus to Business Davis does not share this pessimistic outlook. He believes that America’s Ibng-range increase in productivity, which has been averaging 3ti per cent a year, or about double the rate of population growth, can continue to raise liv-

ing standards. He is also confident that scientific and technological advances will open up new sources of raw materials, as in , the past. He noted that a growing population acts as a stimulus to business: there is more incentive to invest in plant expansion if you know the future market will be larger. And the fact that the number of consumers is growing tends to bail out, in the long run, those industries which expand too rapidly through miscalculation of current demand. Thus a growing population can serve as insulation against serious depressions. But Davis said population growth is no automatic guarantee against shOrt-run “adjustments" in the economy, some of which could be painful. No one can say with certainty, for example, that the expansion of consumer demand which lies ahead will create enough new jobs fast enough to avoid the possibility of considerable unemployment at some point in the expansion of the labor force. Feeding the. increased population. Davis said, will be “the least of our worries. v U.S. agriculture, which keeps piling up surpluses despite stringent government controls on planting, is capable of enormous expansion of output. Some “adjustments in diet"—such as eating more fish and less beef —may be necessary. But there is no real danger of a food shortage ih this country in the foreseeable future. Elsewhere in the world, it’s a different story. Next: Population “explosion" threatens disaster for some underdeveloped nations. Tri-Stote Builds Two Dormitories ANGOLA, Ind. (UP)—Tri-State College is building two dormitories to house 204 students. Work has started on the $380,000 project. The first unit will be named Alwood Hall in honor of Ray Alwood, Angola businessman, member of the college board of trustees.
