Costa It lea “Grateful” "Costa Rica Is grateful for the measures taken by the OAS to help us but In some cases these measures have been on a mini mum basis” Fournier told the council. "i think the time has come for the council to face the situation fully, squarely and completely since the eyes of the world arc on us and on the measures which our Intel-American system may ac complish to end the aggression of which my poor and defenseless country is a victim.” “Fomented Revolt” Costa Rica has charged neigh boring Nicaragua with fomenting a revolt south of the. Nicaraguan border. The State Department first an nounced that a C54 transport would be delivered to Costa Rica together with four propeller driven FSID's new designation for the World War II P51 Mus tangs, But spokesmen for the State Department and Air Force said Inter the cargo plane is being sent along only to carry spare parts and return U.

He said that in the ground ac tion centered in Northwest Costa Rica there were 10,000 Costa Ri can troops deployed against 800 "rebels.” Holland said on the TV program that the United States had pro vided all assistance requested by the OAS and said any future aid would be channeled through that organization, based on its recom mendations. He would not specu late on what future aid this coun try may be asked to supply. Two-Year Tax Code Study Asked by NW Senator vuimrm mil call ing for a two-year study leading to complete revision of the state tax code will be introduced in the Legislature Monday, according to Sen. Ernest W. Lennart, Everson Republican. The Legislature convenes Mon day for its second week, follow ing a weekend recess. Lennart said he would Intro duce the bill in the Senate, with Senators Howard Bargreen, Ever ett Democrat, and Tom Hall, Skamokawa Republican, as co sponsors. Lennart said he had conferred with Governor Langlie and the pian nas the governor a bless ing.” Langlie mentioned a need for such a study in hia message to the Legislature Wednesday, but he made no recommendations. Lennart said hia bill calls for a five-member interim commit tee which would have full power of subjoena and would be author ized to employ full time "expert and experienced” assistance. As now drafted, Lennart said, the interim committee would be composed of two members from each house, with the fifth mem ber to be named from the Legis lature at large by the other four. now That i'vf. restore^ LAW AND ORDER, I WILL DC VOTE TONIGHT TO ROMANCE." ,—r' II Y-/rs thetxtc MEALS, /'M ftOMAA/TJC ABOUT-NOT HER'TJ CAN’T LET VOU It J, FOSDKLK | leap, as < LONG AS VOU HAVE MESS'/ HAIR!* u C,JLpf!

This country's demand for elec trical goods will be 100/< greater than it is today. But there will be only 11 % more workmen. How can production per man be boosted enough to close the gap? l or one answer, 31-year-old R H. Alspach, Manager of Manufacturing Development at G.E., is exploring automation. Automation: Continuous Automatic Production Automation is a way of manufacturing based on the continuous-flow concept. Products will he made, inspected, assembled, tested, and packaged by a series of integrated ma chines in one uninterrupted flow. As industry ; evolves toward greater automation, more i workmen will become skilled machine spe cialists or maintenance experts able to con trol complete systems. Phil Alspach and the men under him now draft layouts for automatic systems, tackle the engineering problems involved, design automation equipment,and even build some. 23,000 College Graduates at G.E. This is a big and important job. Alspach was readied for it in a careful, step-by-step pro gram of development. Like Alspach, each of G.E.’s 23,000 college-graduate employees is given his chance to grow, to find the work he does best, and to realize his full potential. I or General Electric has long believed this: When fresh young minds are given freedom to make progress, everybody benefits —the individual, the company, and the country. PHIL ALSPACH joined G.E. shortly after graduation from Tulane (B.S. in M.E., ’44), has completed G.E.’s Engineer ing Program, Class of 1945, and its Creative Engineering Course, 1949.
