Said Greatest in
Southeastern XJfS.
WASHINGTON GD-The number of business concerns Is- grow
ing taster In the southeast than in any other section of the country,
the Commerce Department reported Tuesday. '
- The department added that for the country as a whole the total
number of operating business firms has remained close to a record
level of four million for the past four years.
Within this total, however, tnere
were signwcani suits oj geo
graphic regions. The report cov
ered a four-year business popula
tion survey, including the number
of new businesses opened and the
number of old ones closed.
It's the second such survey
ever undertaken. In the first, cov
ering 1944 to 1943, the national
total of businesses climbed from
3,022,200 to 3,983,400. Inthe past
four years, the total increased
only to 4,007,400.
The Far West, which paced the
1944-48 expansion with a net gain
from 286,300 to 445,700, dropped
back to 426,500 In 1951. This was
the greatest percentage loss of any
section in the past four years;
The Commerce Department ex
plained that new businesses con
tinued to open up in the Far West
at the highest rate In the nation,
but the toll among operating busi
nesses also was higher in that
section, bringing a net loss.

Plan Blackmail
PARIS (V-The United States
Tuesday rejected as "blackmail"
a Russian proposal that five more
Communist countries be given Un
ited Nations membership in return
for clearance of nine applicants
favored by the West.
- The American stand was an
nounced in the 60-nation Political
Committee by U. S. Ambassador
Ernest A. Gross despite increas
ing pressure on the United States
behind the scenes to accept the
Russian program for such a one
package deal. r
"Blackmail is always sought in
Installments and new pretexts for
demanding It can always be
found. Gross said. "Let us not,
through frustration brought about
by Soviet abuse of the veto, start
down the. muddy road which has
no end."
The Political Committee is de
bating a Peruvian proposal which
would ask the Security Council to
reconsider applications for mem
bership, and have the applicants
present evidence showing their
qualifications. "
The Soviet Union favors the ad
mission of Outer Mongolia, de
scribed by Gross as a "shadowy,
synthetic state, Bulgaria, Hun
gary, Romania and Albania. None
of these five has received the ma
jority required to pass the Secur
ity Council.
The Soviet Union previously has
vetoed eight applicants named in
the proposed deal Italy, Austria,
Finland, Ireland, Portugal, Jordan,
Ceylon, Nepal.
The 14th applicant is Libya.
Her case has not been acted upon.
Gross said the United States al
ways has favored the admission of
qualified countries.
'Hot Sweaters'
Bring Federal
Crackdown
WASHINGTON (P) The gov
ernment cracked down on a Phila
delphia firm Tuesday in its cam
paign against "torch sweaters, ac
cusing Fisher, & De Ritis of sell
ing garments "dangerous and un
safe to wear."
A complaint was issued by the
Federal Trade Commission against
Albert H. Fisher and Vincent De
Ritis, doing business as Fisher
and De Ritis.
It was the first result of an in
vestigation launched by the com
mission after newspapers all over
the country began reporting cases
of sweaters igniting and burning
almost explosively when touched
by lighted match or cigaret.
The commission charged Fisher
& De Ritis with leading the pub
lic to believe that its sweaters were
made of camel's hair instead of
brushed rayon, and with selling
the sweaters without warning that
they are dangerously inflammable.

Portland Symphony Concert
Program Wins High Praise
By MA2HNE BUKEN
Statesman Music Editor
Though the Portland Symphony concert feature of Tuesday night
was the Sinfonia Concertante in E Flat by Mozart, each number could
have been a special one. James ' Sample, the orchestra's conductor,
chose a program which included four exceptionally fine numbers.
The opening Rosamunde Overture, like most of Schubert's com
positions was one of melodious beauty, yet strong and appealing.
Tne second, the xeaturecr num
ber, included the unusual use of
four woodwinds in solo and group
playing. All instrumentalists, John
Baldwin, oboe, Esther .Ferguson,
bassoon, Virginia Wright, clarinet
and John Waitt, horn, hold first
chairs in the orchestra.
Next came the forceful Don
Juan tone poem by Strauss con
trasting with the graciousness of
the former numbers as well as
the dignity of the Sibleius num
ber which followed. As is usual
with the music of the great Fin
nish composer the Symphony No.
2 in D Major leaves its listeners
with a feeling of mystery and
reverence.
James Sample's direction and
the work of the Portland orchestra
this year have increased in matur
ity, and deserye greater support
than has thus far been given.
Though listeners were attentive
and definitely pleased, the house
was only half fulL Salem concert
goers could show their apprecia
tion with a sold out house for the
March 4 concert.
