‘Traditional’ values threatened
Movement discourages buying
United Press International
NEW YORK — The de
marketing movement now appears
to be part of an emerging “counter
economy,” that could have a great
impact on the so-called “tra
ditional, American values.
The movement — persuading
consumers not to buy — probably
grew out of the counter culture that
mushroomed in the 1960s, but
really came into focus during the
1973 — ‘74 energy crisis.
It is not the same as the “subter
ranean economy” described by Dr.
Peter Gutmann of New York’s
Baruch College last year. Some of
the denizens of this underground
economic world are tax dodgers but
many are dropouts from the regular
economy who are looking for an al
ternative life style and work in jobs
or businesses not counted in the
Gross National Product.
In an address to the Direct Mail
Marketing Association at Miami
Beach early this year. Hazel Hen
derson, who runs what her pub
lisher calls a “mom and pop think
tank” called the Center for Alterna
tive Futures at Princeton, N.J.,
gave a description of the counter
economy.
She said its decentralized world is
filled with people who question the
competitive high technology urban
rat race and “who think the goal of
ever rising material wealth in mass
consumption societies is no longer
realistic. ”
The term was defined in the early
1970s by Philip Kotler and Sidney J.
Carter calls for boycotts
against anti-inflation foes
United Press International
ST. LOUIS — President Carter
Monday virged the nation’s urban
leaders to boycott businesses that
refuse to join his voluntary anti-
inflation fight, saying “the future of
our cities, is at stake.
Carter addressed the National
League of Cities meeting here be
fore flying to Salt Lake City to ac
cept the Mormon Church “Family
Unity award.
In St. Louis, he warned the
mayors there will be “severe limits”
on federal aid for their cities in the
1980 budget and called on them to
stop doing business with firms not in
compliance with the adminis
tration’s wage-price standards.
Columbus, Ohio, Mayor Tom
Moody, president of the league,
told Carter, “You have our fidl sup
port in this crucial work.”
There will be exceptions in his
tight 1980 budget, the president
said, but for the most part it will be

Tomorrow is an electronic world, based on computers — and it's already here! Your entire family can be pleasurably elevated into this brave
new world. The priceless gift of tomorrow now has a price: $599 . . . and a name: The Radio Shack TRS-80 Microcomputer.
Radio Shack's computer system surely ought to be on the gift list of every family. Despite that $599 — though less than a moped — is costlier
than an electric train. Or two! A proud father writes to tell us "this investment is one of the most significant in value to our family and to the
future education of our child that we have ever seen."
Radio Shack's TRS-80 computer is the ideal "family Christmas gift," and one which has only become affordable in recent months. Until now,
the possibility of owning or giving a computer was unthinkable. A computer? That can teach? Remember? Display on its own screen? Keep
the family budget? Catalog recipes? Play games? Be programmed easily from its own typewriter keyboard?
Now, the Tomorrow Machine is not only thinkable, but practical, affordable, and available. The Radio Shack TRS-80 microcomputer
system is for your family. Discover Tomorrow or Christmas morning . . . this year!
Big city
people
want out
United Press International
ST. LOUIS — One third of the
nation s urban residents would
move away from their cities if given
the chance, according to a survey
conducted for the National League
of Cities.
Crime was given as the major rea
son for dissatisfaction with cities.
The findings by the Gallup or
ganization of Princeton, N.J.,
showed the proportion of those
wanting to move holds for small and
medium-size cities as we r the
largest urban areas.
By contrast, in communities with
a population less than 50,000, only
15 percent would like to leave and
in open country areas only 12 per
cent want to leave.
George H. Callup, board chair
man of the polling organization, re
ported the survey’s findings at a
news conference Sunday during the
opening session of the league’s an
nual convention.
President Carter delivered an
urban policy address to the conven
tion Monday.
Gallup said 4,000 residents of
cities with populations of more than
50,000 were polled in the first three
months of the year and an additional
1,200 urban residents were ques
tioned in a sampling completed last
week.
“Those people most likely to ex
press the desire to leave their cities
are from the same upper socio
economic groups which have been
moving away for the last three dec
ades — residents the cities can least
afford to lose, Gallup said.
“These include the younger,
better-educated, more affluent
population who provide the largest
share of local tax revenues as well as
most of the people needed to fill
public and private leadership roles.
“Conversely, the least likely to
want to move away are the older,
less-educated, less affluent popula
tion segments, including the more
public service-dependent groups
such as the retired and the unem
ployed. ”
He said an important exception
was low-income blacks, a larger per
centage of whom want to move away
than low-income whites.
“Key factors influencing the de
sire to move away from the cities are
crime; overcrowding or population
congestion; the poor condition;
maintenance and appearance of res
idential housing; unemployment or
low pay; air pollution; dirt; traffic
congestion; racial problems, and
poor schools,” Gallup said.

as well as social programs.
“Plainly,” said the president, "the
future of our cities is at stake in our
fight against inflation. I call on you
today (Vlonday) not to buy from
firms that fail to comply with our
wage-price standards.
“But these steps won’t be
enough,’’ he added. “The 1980
budget will be very, very tight. It
will disappoint those who do not
take inflation seriously.”
