Low-Income Groups of Nation Held Great Econo- mic F rontier (Cheistian Science Monitor) T he need of the nation's-low-income groups constitute "a great underde- veloped economic frontier" for Ameri- can industry, a congressional commit- tet has been told. These groups -- nearly 16,000,000 families and individuals receiving less than $2,000 annually in money income --"have~ been left behind in the eco- nomic progress of America," said a report to the Joint Senate-House Eco- nomic Committee on Nov. 12, - =~ The report was prepared by the staff of a subcommittee in-preparation- for public hearings next month _on the general subject of low-income families and their relation to economic stability. Senator John Sparkman (D) of Alabama, the subcommittee chairman; emphasized that the staff doculnent |} does not necessarily representthe views of the subcommitteé or its in- dividual members. The report, he added, simply establishes a factual foundation for the forthcoming hear- ings. "This document," said Senator Sparkman, "reveals that almost one- third of the nation's families and single individuals received less than $2,000 in money inconte durfhg the year. 1948. ' "Since the low purchasing power of these - families retards the economic progress of this nation, their circum- stances and the economic effect' to their status on the national economy are now being studied by the subcom- mittee." mn and Mrs. J.

The, docu- ment says-that nearly 10,000, 000 fam- ilies' and. about" 6,000,000 individuals got less than®$2,000 last year. In an economic system geared to mags production, the report says, there must, be mass consumption if severe economic. disldcations are to be aveid- ed. Then it says: "The unfilled "waints of Anierican families now Niving on inadequate .in- comes constitute -a great underde- veloped economie frontier--a .new and expansible market for the products of. American industry. id Lack of education generally Is one of the most important factors respons: ible for low income, the report says. Different Measures "Broadening of educational" oppor- tunities, both académic and vocational, for all qualified students regardless of present income status, is not. only the' most promising lopg-range attack on the low-income problem, but it is also absolutely - necessary to preserve the American tradition of equal oppor- tunity for all. Boosting the income and living standards of low- -pay farm groups "calls for measures quite different 'than the general agricultural price- support and soil conservation pro- grams," the report says, adding: "Continually depressed rural -farm areas "iiiight best be helped in long range - area-development programs which would. provide opportunities for industrial employment, and which would. provide products, such as Sage tables and milk." . "About . 2,200,000 non-farm, low- income families are headed by um- skilled workers, the staff reported. The report adds that broadening vo- cational and educatignal dpportunities, constructive method of attacking the low income problem."
