Millions of Americans, very fcwjrH feiffcr Seeks ;of whom have ever seen Wall street, stand to gain by this j . . 1 . . i-i.i r ., :overdue shift in our economy. Who are they?

Quite a lew tens of millions J diffcrcnl to it, those who read it, fall within this rather expansive category. and anyone dealing with it in any cut those who Dorrow stand assumption but not always a ;rates rose because too many wanted to borrow, too few to save. That old rascal, supply and demand is still operating, you see. Better interest rates make saving more attractive and tend to make money available to lending that otherwise wouldn't be. So half a percent higher Interest rate may make it possible for the loan applicant to get It, instead of a polite "so sorry, please." -As a matter of justice, which Is not exactly the most trivial phase of the matter, interest rates went down when everything else went up during the war and post-war period. Those who saved money back in the twenties and thirties and kept It in the investments referred to above have already lost half of their principal In terms of present day buying power. It is hieh time thev Bot a mild break in this fast moving game. cFor if they didn't saving might ,who d provide the money so many of us wish to borrow : ', The saver's wages are still less than they were many years 'ago, just about the only wages that haven't gone up anywhere from 100 to 200 percent, Utilizing Volcanic Lava Perlite, a mineral made of volcanic lava, unknown commer cially a decade ago, is skyrocketing to popularity as a building material and its manufacture should become a leading industry ior Oregon, for no region has a more abundant supply of raw material than the Cascade moutain area and plains of this re gion. The dictionary definition: "Perlite Volcanic glass with a concentrate shelly structure ; due to curved cracks, produced by contraction in cooling. It ' appears as if composed of concretions, usually grayish and en ! amcllite and is in some cases spherulltic." I Perlite ore in the crude form is found in abundance in seven of the western mountain slates. It is surface or surfaced mined ,or quarried and the ore crushed, or ground to size. The milled Jiorlite is then shipped by rail to expanding plants, where it ;is "popped" or expanded by heating it to 1400 or 2200 degrees Fahrenheit. Rapid parching explodes the gray and black Rrains of perlite into snowy white granules that occupy more than ten times the volume of the crude perlite. ' ; Chemically, perlite consists essentially of the oxides of silicon and aluminum combined as a natural glass. It is rotproof, vermin . and fungus proof, odorless and will not deteriorate with age. It It ' used as a plaster aggregate to replace sand because of its lighter t weight and greater insulation properties. Its resilance as plaster ,' insures less cracking of the walls and ceilings. Perlite cement's ; chief use is in roof deck construction. ' A group of perlite miners formed the Perlite Institute at Los Angeles in 1949 to promote the try, establish standards through research, explore new mar kets. There are now 84 plants producing this expanded vol canic lava and this year's output is placed at 310,000 tons. Perlite is being used in all types of building projects from ;skyscrapcrs to one-unit homes, effecting substantial savings inmaterials, costs and the steel framework required. The New York Times reports: j "Although pcrlile'a greatest use now Is for construction pur ! poses, the material Is rapidly becoming an important factor in olhcr fields. It Is being utilized as an addictive to paints, ceramics, foundry sands and for oil and gas well cements and muds. "It is also playing an increasing role as a pipe, furnace and I boiler Insulator, as a filtration medium, In abrasives and as a plant rooting medium and soil conditioner." Perlite is not the only lava product that can be utilized profit ably. The use of pumice could, by research be vastly increased, as could obsidian, another form nf volcanic glass found in huge deposits, formerly utilized by primitive races including Amer ican Indians, for the making of knives, weapon heads and mirrors. Some day in the not so distant future, science and research will find other volcanic minerals factors to he utilized in civ ilization's progress. CP. j A Newspaper Leads a Dangerous Life . Two suits aggregating two 'against he Oregonian by Multnomah District Attorney Langley as a resuu ot inc rortiana newspaper s expose ot alleged vice conditions there. No conclusion as to the merits of the Orcijonian's charges or the D. A.'s reaction to lliem can properly be drawn at this j time, but we think one conclusion can be drawn: It is risky for I newspaper to expose what it thinks are evil conditions its ' readers ought to know about. ' If material errors can be found In any of the material the Oregonian has printed it can expect to pay heavily. The same will be true if t cannot nrove to the saiisfarllnn nf inrv all its allegations. If it can prove them ail and wins the suits' the : cost of doing this will be heavy and the ordeal enough to take j many an Oregonian mans mind and all his and the paper's ! other troubles for a long time. I Things like the Oregonian has just done, and manv other i papers have done in the past, . man they are. for we cannot hope to keep our democracy ; clean, especially in our larnc cities, without ths service by the 1 press when conditions call for it.

NATIONAL WHIRLIGIG New Appointments Shift the Administration to the Left By RAY WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-Presi-dent Eisenhower's recent reshuffl ing of his official family at home and abroad expresses his deter. mination to recast his administra tion in a more liberal moid, there by setting an example which ne hopes a Republl j party, still sharply split over his program will follow. Although the substitution of Gov ernor Christian A. Herter for Her bert Hoover Jr., at State, Is the most spectacular evidence of this manner for mercenary reasons. These same people are also wit tingly or unwittingly, consciously or unconsciously helping to pro mote the communistic cause. Two years ago one nefugee that came from behind the iron cur tain sajd, "The same apathy, cor ruption, intellectual confusion, dis regard for moral principles, which has paved the way for communism in many countries, is taking place right now in the U. s." In the New York State Legisla tive Document No. 37 1955) page 113, the American Legion maga zine for November 1954 is quoted The American Legion Magazine contained an extract irom a docu ment entitled "Communist Party Kulcs for Revolution." Following are two of the rules set forth in that document: "A. To corrupt youth, get them away from religion. Get them in terested in sex. Make them super ficial, destroy their ruggedness. B. 1. Get people's attention on sexy books and plays. 2. Divide in controversial matters. 3. Destroy their faith in leaders, courts, laws; hold them up to ridicule and con tempt." Good people everywhere will have to rouse or be roused from their lethargy, if they want to preserve our wonderful freedom. We cannot afford to relax and do nothing; for with freedom go cer tain moral and social responsibil ities. We cannot, we must not let our stands continue to be cluttered with the literary filth in these books and magazines of which the Na tional Council of Juvenile Court Judges say, "they contribute to the breakdown of the moral sense in children which today Is causing an increase in juvenile delinquency throughout the nation and is often responsible for adult criminality." Regardless ot how many laws we have against Indecent literature or how many indictments we might have: It is still up to "We the People" to help combat it. What are you doing about it? Act while you still have the freedom to do so! You might fill the court room at the upcoming trials for two dis tributors here in Marion county in the near future. Come in time for the picking of the jury. It is very interesting and you can go to your next meeting and tell the members all about It. Mrs. John Pfeifcr, Silverton, Oregon. A Smile or Two Phoenix Flame The conscientious father was dispensing advice to his son who was about to be married. "Co-operation is the foundation nf a successful marriage," pop said solemnly. "You must do things together. For instance, if your wife wants to go for a walk, go for a walk with her. If she wants to go In the movies, go to the movies with her. If she wants to do the dishes, do the dishes with her."

The recall of General Alfred M. Gruenther, a NeDraska Dcmocr.it with broad ideas on governmental and diplomatic problems, is equal. ly prophetic. So was the selection of Fred A. Seaton. another Corn- husker Progressive, to replace the ultra-conservative Douglas McKay ai interior. Finally, although some of the Im portant changes have not yet been made, Ike is expected to choose other men of his political and phil osophic stamp for important Am basadorships. He has already scuica on Douglas MacArthur, 2nd, for Tokyo, and, according to re ports, he may appoint John Hay Whitney emissary to London. Whit ney's appointment has not yet been decided, and his acceptance is likely to depend upon the condition oi nis wile s health. Herter'i Influence Herter will introduce an alto. gether different atmosphere in the Liuues department. But his great experience in the foreign service, in uie nouse as Bay state execu tive will lend him considerable in. fluence in such domestic fields as the political, the social and the economic. He is the solid, thought ful sort of individual on whom Ike likes to rely. On Capitol and Beacon Hills, he was regarded as Progressive, and he was an original Eisenhower man. Born in Paris of struggling artist parents, though he is now a man of means, and a key archi- ,ra " me iwarsnau plan, lie favors generous aid to our Euro pean Allies. He is liked and ad mired at Whitehall and the Quai dOrsay. Critical of Western Europe Hoover, by contrast, was as con servative and as critical of West ern Europe as his illustrious father, who once nreeH u,ithrfra.u..i from the continent and construc tion of a self-sufficient "Fortress America." The son was also shy, limited in his outlook, and ill at ease before Congresisonal commit tees and international conferences.

McArthur and Whitney Ambassador-d e s I g n a t e Mac Arthur and Whitney married into New Deal families. They sub scribe completely to Ike's accept ance and expansion of many Rooscveltian reforms. MacArthur married the daughter of the late Vice-President Alben B. Barklcy. and Whitney married Betsey dish ing of Boston, the first w fe of James Roosevelt. Whitney corresponds to the mem bers of the Astor, Rockefeller and other famous Eastern clans, who have devoted themselves and their wealth to public service under Roosevelt, Truman and Eisen hower. Narrow partisan policies and prejuriicies mean nothing to this economically free breed of men. a fact which nicy prove to he a handicap in Ike's plan to take over and make over the GOP between now and 1960.

American Imntuu of Public OpIbJob) PRINCETON, N. J.-The Ameri can public overwhelmingly en- dorses a proposal put forth by traf fic experts that all drivers be made to take a physical examination every three years. The olan. which leading experts on traffic safety see as working hand-in-hand with vehicle inspec tions to eliminate unsafe drivers as well as unsafe cars, is approved by 84 per cent off all persons ques tioned in the latest survey by the Institute. Today's endorsement is one more instance of the public's willingness 6ince even before World War II to introduce more stringent rules than most legis lators have been ready to adopt to reduce traffic accidents. As the country prepares for another holiday season, when traf fic accidents normally increase. Institute interviewers from coast to coast asked an accurate cross- section of American adults about "driver inspections' with the fol lowing question; It has been suggested that drivers of cars and trucks should be made to take a physical ex amination every three years to de termine if they are physically fit to drive. Does this sound like a good idea or a poor idea to you?" The results nationwide: Good Idea 84 Poor idea 12 No opinion 4 The Institute finds an over whelming measure of approval of the proposal in all segments of the population and in all parts of the country.

Second Thought- It is interesting to note, how ever, that the highest percentage endorsing the plan is found in the nation's largest cities, where nine out of 10 persons interviewed be lieve the mandatory physical ex amination every three years would be a good idea. Today's high approval vote may stem in part from the public's in creasing awarness of the mount ing accident rate, and also from first-hand experience. A survey early this year showed that some 18 million U. S. adults have been in an automobile acci dent in which one or more persons were injured. This figure docs not include teen-age drivers. Over the years, the Institute has found that the public is ready to accept practically any logical plan which might serve to reduce auto accidents and deaths. In February of this year, for example, an Institute survey found that seven out of 10 adults felt it would be a good idea to in stall governors in passenger cars to keep the cars from going fast er than 60 miles an hour. In July. 1955, the public, by a 5-to-4 vote, approved of placing safety belts in all new cars. On the question of drunken driv ers, the Institute found in August, I9.i3. that nearly three out of four adults would revoke the license permanently of anyone convicted more than once of drunken driv ing. Other Institute surveys in which the public expressed Its willing ness to go along with safety tests or devices to cut down traffic acci dents: May, 1953 more than eight out of 10 persons approved physical examinations for all drivers over S5 years of age. January, 1952 three out of four persons approved of automobile drivers convicted of reckless driv ing being required to place a red tag on their car windows to show they were reckless drivers. April, 1950 about two out of three persons were in favor ot a plan somewhat similar to that in today's survey by which all auto mobile drivers would be required to tnke a physical examination every three years to retain their driver s license. July, 194985 per cent of all persons questioned approved of a plan to have any automobile driv er involved in three or more ac cidents in less than two years take a special driving examina tion and apply for a new driver's license. As early as 1939, an Institute survey found that nearly nine out , of 10 voters favored strict driv- '"f.'mtni , examinations. That same survey, over 17 years af. found two out of three per- J sons towing 'he installation of i K"""" on ears, ana m per ceni of all persons interviewed favor ing the revoking of licenses of persons convicted of drunken driving.

Ago By BEN MAXWELL Dee. 14. 1895 Two Albany men. who had acted strangely when they unloaded a bulky bundle from a wagon and secreted it in a closet of the Balti more building; had been arrested. Police discovered that the bundle contained the somewhat decom posed body of a pauper wrapped in coffee sacks. The pair were charged 'with grave robbery and the object of their "ressurection was presumed to be "a body for sale. Capital Journal's fashion letter for this day in the mauve decade of social incongruities stated that "the refined woman is the one who avoids exceedingly bright colors for any garment worn on the street. Her gowns are char acterized by quietness of tone and fineness of texture. Indeed, one of the requisites of all her belongings is that they be of as fine a quality as her own nature. Miss Alice Davis, daughter of George W. Davis of Salem; had undertaken (as of then) a some what unusual calling for a woman that of dentistry. Dentistry, the story continued to say, is some thing for which women, if strong, are naturally fitted, possessing as they do both delicacy and dexter ity of touch combined with pa tience. (Dr. W. W. Darby, Salem dentist on State Street since Sept. 17, 1904 52 years ago stated that there is now no woman prac ticing dentistry in the city and that there never was a woman den tist here to his knowledge.) Steamer Gypsy was about to re sume its run to Eugene, river stage permitting. (Steamers ceased to make Eugene shortly after 1900. Only recently has Albany Barge Line received permission to opcr ate to that point. Condition of the river makes it unlikely that their run will go above Harnsburg.) A meeting of the Salem Hospital board had elected the following officers: Mrs. J. J. Murphy, presi dent: Gideon Sterner, vice-presi dent; W. T. Gray, secretary, and F. E.-Hodgkins, treasurer.

IT COSTS NO CHARGE wsm& State and liberty CERTIFIED GEMOLOC, 1ST AMERICAN Nussbaum's own career Is an example of the success that caa come to a man who stumbles into his natural vocation by chance. He quit school at 12 in the city of his birth Glasgow, Scotland and took a job in his aunt's cloak factory. "The job paid 60 cents a week, and it seemed a lot at the time," he said. Three years later he came to America and became a clothing cutter. After serving in France during the First World War, he began saving his money and bought into a Milwaukee store specializing in high-priced men'i clothing. In the 1929 crash, Nussbaum's income dived quickly from $10,000 a year to zero. "I was offered a job selling in surance," he said, "and I took it very reluctantly. "The first 25 weeks I earned $19.12 an average of 75 cents a week. These were really rough times. When a man said he could n't afford to buy insurance, he was telling the truth. But I stuck to it." His income rose steadily,. Since 1942 he has been a member of the select "Million Dollar Round Table," made up of salesmen who sell that much insurance in a year. He earns up to $o0,000 a year but is prouder of the fact that, despite his lack of formal schooling, he is a faculty adviser at Purdue University s Institute of Life Insurance Marketing. Nussbaum says the public has a number of misconceptions about life insurance salesmen. "You don't have to put your foot in a door to sell insurance," he said. "Women in particular are well-educated on the value of in surance, especially since we be gan emphasizing its living bene fits rather than its death benefits. "And you don't have to be jiner." Nussbaum himself belongs to only two organizations the pro fessional organization he heads and the American Legion. "Insurance doesn't offer as high starting salaries as some other professions," he said. "But the only limitations on how far you can go in the field are those you make yourself. "The men who have been five years or more with one large in surance company rveraged $12. 500 each last year. The top 100 salesmen in the same company averaged $27,300. "Anybody, can push you out of your job at 55 or 70. You can write your own ticket as long as you can write a ticket. One agent in Oakland, Cal., who is 79 years old sold 45 policies last month totaling $750,000." Nussbaum said most people buy life insurance today for invest ment but often at work also is the factor of "ego-recognition." "They want to be a financial success even if it's onlv on the day they die," he said. "They know that the first thing people will ask is. 'What shape did he leave his family in?'"
