Known as the Asociacion de Impresarios Mexicanos, it's pur pose la to encourage capital to move in where it will benefit Mexico, prevent foreign capital from moving in if it will hurt Mexico industries. It has two presidents. One of these is a banker-industrialist, O. L. Longoria Jr., head of many firms operating chiefly in Mexico's cotton-producing sections. His co-president Is Antonio Ruiz Galindo econo .my minister during the admin istration of former President Mi guel Aleman. Ruiz Galindo now heads a firm that manufacutres steel and wooden furniture. "Our plan is to get member ship throughout Mexico," Long oria said, "such as is done by chambers of commerce. The as sociation will act as spokesman to ask our government to protect us when we feel it is justified." Longoria expressed a fear that foreign interests will in vest so heavily that they will displace national capital in the same lines of business. "We favor investment of for-i eign capital only when it creates new channels of busines by Reynolds Valuation Reduction Ordered Portland (U.F) The State Tax commission has ruled that the assessed valuation of Reynolds Metals Company's Troutdale plant should be re duced by more than $2,000,000 on the 1953-54 Multnomah Coun ty tax roll. The commission ordered coun ty sheriff Terry Schrunk to re duce the company's assessed val uation from $8,305,785 to $6, 054,600. The figure included the buildings, machinery and equip ment and land at the Troutdale operations. The order come on a long standing appeal by the company to Assessor Wiley W. Smith's as sessment. The Multnomah Coun ty Board of Equalization had up held the assessor's figure, but the tax commission ruled that Smith had not properly applied a ratio of 44 per cent of true cash value in assessing the Rey nolds plant. erecting new industries, or by granting credits," he added. "I am sure that if this is not done, investment of foreign in terests will become so great that within a short time our govern ment will have to take radical steps. "These could include' expro priation of similar measures so that the bulk of business enter prises would return to the hands of Mexican nationals. "We will never have any free dom, economically or politically as long as we depend on foreign concerns," he said. He said the association aims to protect Mexican capital from invasion of foreign interests that are taking over Mexican con cerns by outright purchase, by buying control or by creating similar businesses that normal ly eliminate Mexican capital.

Trade Marks Rtg. U. S. Tat Oft Permanent Route Authorization for Southwest Sought Washington (U.PJ South west Airways argued yesterday for permanent authorization to serve most of the 30 California and Oregon cities and towns it now serves on temporary au thority. The argument was presented at a : two-hour hearing before Civil Aeronautics Board Exam iner Herbert Bryan. It was the first .hearing under a new law which instructs the board to give permanent routs to 14 local service airlines including Southwest now operating tem porary routes. . ; t Modford to Long Beach - Southwest's routes extend from Medford, Ore., to Long Beach, Cajif. The airline is ask ing permanent authorization to serve all its current points ex cept 1 six in California Ukiah, Red Bluff, Yreka, Stockton, San Luis Obispo, and Paso Robles. An attorney for the CAB's Bureau of Air Operations argued against Southwest's proposal to serve San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles through the Paso Robles airport. Have Weather Problem Southwest is now serving San Luis Obispo through the San Luis Obispo airport, and service to Paso Robles has been suspend ed. The airline wants to pro vide service for both towns through the Paso Robles airport because the San Luis Obispo air port is often closed in by fog and low clouds. The bureau lawyer said South west should continue to serve San Luis Obispo ' through the airport there. He also argued that 'the suspension of service at Paso Robles should be con tinued until the board has de cided another case involving the airline.

Cats' Upward Hearing Range Three Times That of People By DELOS CMITH United Press Science Editor New York (U.P.) The noises which cats hear better than peo ple are the high-pitched noises. For low-pitched noises, people don't have to feel inferior to cats. People hear them just as well, perhaps better. Oddly, there was no precise information before. Here science is entering a new world of knowledeg. Cats, it now can be said with finality, hear sounds pitched at frequencies of 60,000 cycles per second. But people have very keen ears if they hear sounds pitched at 20,000 cycles per second. Any thing above that they simply do not hear at all. So the upward hearing range of cats is three times that of people. Where cats hear best, is at 8,000 cycles per second, How ever, their hearing remains mighty sharp all the way up to 40,000 cycles per second. People hear best the noises which are pitched between 2,000 and 4,000 cycles per second. Above 4,000 CPS, their hearing sensitivity falls off very rapidly and reaches its extreme limits at 20,000 CPS. But for low-pitched sounds from 62,5 CPS to 2,000 CPS cats and people are even-ste-phen. Indeed, said the scientists who made the studies, "There is some suggestion that for the very low frequencies below 500 CPS the cat may not be as sensi tive as man." William D. Neff and Joseph E. Hind, who were reporting to members of .the Acoustical So-; I ciety of America, said they were hesitant in suggesting even this hearing advantage for people over cats because they couldn't prove it beyond a "lingering doubt. If people have such an advantage, it is "very slight," they said. Neff and Hind found out about cats by "conditioning" them first. This was done quite simply. A continuous tone was sounded for four seconds. If the cats didn't get up and run in three seconds, they got an electric shock through the steel-barred floor of their cage. The cats learned quickly that a continu ing, tone meant trouble if they didn't move. Having done that, Neff and Hind varied the pitch of the tone from 62.5 CPS to 60,000 CPS. Its intensity or loudness was set at the point where it was clearly audible to cats but without being overwhelming. . Cats being the kind of animals they are, the scientists took pre cautions against being crossed up by them. These possible quirks in cat behavior which were avoided, they called "spon taneous responses." They took their facts about the hearing of people from the work of other scientists people have been carefully studied from many aspects. Since cats haven't been as regards hearing, they thought it "desirable" to do so. Photo Finishing FILM IN BY 10.00 OUT BY 5:00!

QUIGG United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) Here's the pilot who took the first com mercial flight across the Atlantic 16 years ago. He says if you had told him that day that 2,000 per sons a day would be winging the same stretch this summer, he'd have told you to come down off that dreamy cloud. And so . . . says Harold E. Gray, he's just scared to predict what might be happening 16 years from now. Sees Six-Hour Flights However, he's pretty certain that in less than five years we'll be hopping to Europe in less than six hours. And as for the future day when they get atomic power into airplanes: "It'll be possible to fly any where without stopping. There'll be no reason to stop. Why, if you were going to Timbuktu and they had bad weather there so what? Go someplace else or just wait in the air." Gray squinted his blue eyes at a world map on his office wall. He barnstormed with Floyd Ben nett in an old Ford trimotor in the 1920's and in 1928 he was the youngest trimotor pilot at 23 in the country. Two Years in Air He had 15,000 hours of com mercial piloting time that's nearly two full years in the air if you put it all together when be became desk-bound in 1947. Now he's executive vice-president of the Pan American World Airways Atlantic Division. Gray commanded the Pan American 42-ton Boeing Flying Boat that took off from Port Washington, N. Y., June 24, 1939, for Southhampton on the indus try's first Trans-Atlantic passen ger flight They flew at 8,000 feet, cruising at 150 knots. Four days, and four stops later they made it. They had had to anchor in a bay in New Bruns wick, Canada, for three days in bad weather.
