Organization Aims At Protection of Mexican Enterprise
Mexico City U.R A new
organization designed to protect
Mexican enterprises from en
croachment by foreign capital
has been formed here.
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.

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.

Atlantic Flights
Show Tremendous
Increase Since '39
By H. D. 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.
