Army 'Brainwashing'
Courses Suspended
Washington (U.R) The Air
Force disclosed today that it has
suspended the controversial
"brainwashing" interrogation of
students at its prisoner of war
survival school in the Nevada
desert.
The Air Force now wants to
determine whether it can give
the same indoctrination to its
airmen by demonstration tech
niques rather than by personally
subjecting them to the intensive
interrogation.
The survival school at Stead
Air Force base in Nevada oper
ated in relative secrecy until
early this fall when hair-raising
accounts were published about
the training techniques employ
ed at the school. Some of the
airmen and officers were report
ed put through "brainwashing"
procedures which would rival
those used by the Communists
in Korean prison camps.

Running Higher Than
San Francisco U.R) Santa
Claus may have to make a spe
cial trip from the North Pole
just to deliver the record num
ber of presents he'll have for
westerners.
At least thafs the way the
Christmas season looks up to the
Federal Reserve Bank 12 days
before the holiday. The FRB says
retail sales in the seven western
states are running 3 to 4 per
cent higher than last year"s rec
ord yule season.
Salt Lake City stores led the
pack with a whopping 15 per
cent increase. San Jose, Calif.,
was up 10 per cent and San Di
ego 8 per cent.
Other cities reported these in
creases: Oakland, Calif., 5 to 6
per cent; San Francisco, 3 to 4
per cent; Seattle and Portland,
4 per cent; Los Angeles County
and Spokane, 3 per cent; Tacoma,
1 per cent.
Merchants say there's more
money around, greater employ
ment and just better times. They
also say an extra shopping Sat
urday will help things along this
year.
Weather Possible Hitch
There is only one possible
hitch the weather. Shoppers
might be hesitant about ventur
ing out in a rainstorm. Even so,
two Fresno department stores
reported sales 6 per cent higher
than last year despite rainy,
foggy weather.
Another note of caution was
sounded by Harry S. Schwartz,
Federal Reserve Bank econo
mist, who said the buying habits
of Christmas shoppers "can fool
you."
"Sometimes the season starts
out like a choo-choo train, then
peters out at the end," he said.
"Or it can be the other way
around."
Michael Weill, president of the
White House department store in
San Francisco, reported sales up
about 1 per cent with customers
buying better quality goods than
in the past.
An executive of another large
store here said sales were up
about 5 per cent, with only
heavy home furnishings lagging.
North Bend Bank Bid
Unaffected by Merger
Portland (U.R) The proposed
merger of the Coos Bay National
Bank and the U.S. National
Bank of Portland will have no
effect on the Portland bank's ap
plication for a branch at North
Bend as far as the bank is con
cerned, a bank spokesman said
today.
The bank official said decision
on U.S. National's proposal for
a branch at North Bend is up to
the comptroller of currency in
Washington, D.C., but the bank
"is not withdrawing its applica
tion." Merger papers for the Coos
Bay and Portland banks now
are in the hands of the comp
troller of currency. If the mer
ger is approved, stockholders of
the two banks have to be given
30 days notice before a vote is
taken on the proposal.
Boards of directors of the two
banks approved the merger dur
ing the week end.

He credited the increase to a new
store policy of catering to the
"middle of the middle" class and
de-emphasizing attempts to sell
to the higher and lower classes.

Last Year
Weill that buyers were demand
ing higher quality goods.
An official of one oi Portland's
largest department stores said
retail sales are up 10 per cent
over last year for the Christmas
season. He, too, said people are
less price conscious this year.
Sales in a large department
store in Seattle are likewise
ahead of last year. In fact, this
particular store had a record
breaking sales day for the day
after Thanksgiving.
In Spokane, the increase in
sales is "substantially" ahead of
last year, according to one de
