Dr. Seltzer's Book
Highly Regarded
"Interest as a Source of Eco-
nomic Research," by Dr. Lawr-
ence H. Seltzer, published by
the National Bureau of Eco-
nomics, has risen to a high
place as an authoritative eco-
nomic source book, and has be-
come highly regarded in indus-
trial and economic circles.
Dr. Seltzer's latest work deals
with current trends in the
American economy. The "pudgy
gentleman who makes his liv-
ing with a pair
of scissors, clip-
ping coupons,
is now a figure
of American
folklore," it re-
ports. The pri-
vate mortgage
holder with the
handlebar mus-
tauche is also
a vanishing
Dr. Seltzer type, the De-
troit scholar points out.
The book reveals that most
interest income is received by
persons of modest means. Fur-
ther, only about a quarter of
the interest income received by
individuals shows up in income
tax returns.

the Department of Economics

igan in 1920, he began there

sumed an assistant professor-
ship at Wayne University. He
has since been honored with
assistant, associate, and full
professorships. In 1925 he
earned his Ph.D. from the
University of Michigan.
Aside from academic posi-
tions, Dr. Seltzer has held other
posts of professional leadership.
In 1933 he was technical advisor
to the Labor Advisory Board,
NRA. The next year he was
expert assistant to the deputy
governor, for the Farm Credit
Administration. For five years
he was head economist of the
U.S. Treasury. He was consult-
ing expert for the_ Federal Re-
serve Bank of New York. For
11 years (1942-53) he was con-
sulting expert for the U.S.
Treasury.
He has written numerous
periodical articles and seven
other books.
Dr. Seltzer has also been ac-
tive in Detroit's Jewish com-
munity. He was president of the
Jewish Social Service Bureau
and for four years served on
the JSSB board. He was a
member of the board of gover-
nors of the Jewish Welfare Fed-
eration until last year. He has

T h e fabulously successful
English orchestra leader, MAN-
TOVANI, brought his New Mu-
sic for the first time to the
United States, in the fall of 1955
on a 38-city tour which took
him as far west as Omaha, Neb.,
but concentrated for the most
part on the East, middle west
e nd in Canada. The statistics on
Mantovani's second American
tour, which brings him here at
Masonic Auditorium, Oct. 10,
speak for themselves. His jam-
packed schedule takes him for
the first time from coast to
coast, with appearances at Van-
couver, Seattle and Portland,
Oregon, and will also take the
creator of the famous tumbling
strings for the first time to
Texas and as far south as New
Orleans.
