West Coast Business Growth Heading
For Banner Year; Northwest Said Lagging
San Francisco flJ.R) Business
leaders of the West are betting
billions that ' 1956 will be
another banner year, a United
, Press survey showed today.
A sampling of executive opin
ion in the fastest growing region
of the nation indicated that busi
ness and industry were pushing
ahead with plans for huge out
lays for plant expansion despite
expected, declines in the key
housing and auto industries.
- S. Clark Beise, president of
Bank of America, predicted that
"we will move- ahead steadily
and prove " ourselves able to
compensate" for soft spots in the
economy.
Kinsey M. Robinson, presi
dent of Washington State Power
Co., said his company expects its
business to increase seven or
eight per cent in' 1J556 "even
though business nationally
shows some lessening of increase
during the last half of the year."
Lag in Northweai
"Our experience has shown us
that there is always a lag in
the Northwest area," Robinson
said, "so we doubt that it (less
ening of increase) will affect our
area in 1956."
Washington water power has
budgeted $22,500,000 for con
struction this year, two-thirds of
which is earmarked for its $85,
000,000 Noxon Rapids hydro
electric project on the Clark
Fork river in western Montana.
Alden G. Roach, president of
United States Steel's Columbia
Geneva division, predicted that
western steel production in
1956 should total 6,750,000 ingot

Roach based his forecast on
the continuing requirements
for defense material, large dia
meter transmission pipe lines,
construction of all types, rail
road freight car programs and
increased requirements for tin
plate to meet expanding can
ning requirements."
Roach said Columbia-Geneva
was in the process of enlarging
its 10 open hearth furnaces and
auxiliary facilities at the Ge
neva works in Utah. When com
pleted in 1957, it will boost Ge
neva's capacity by 380,000 tons
to 2,260,000 tons annually.
Predicts Upturn
Walter F. Loomis, president of
Loomis Armored Car Service,
predicted that the latter half of
1956 will be stronger than the
first half. The current weakness
of the automobile industry in it
self will help bring about this
upturn, he said.
"It is inevitable that the ma
jor car manufacturers will speed
up production of their new
models," Loomis said, "and as
sure sufficient transition from
the current design, styling and
performance to restore widest
public acceptance."

Loomis expansion is in size and
number of its money trucks, a
graphic example of how the
weight and value of western
bank deposits have grown. In
1940 a one-ton chassis was big
enough. Today armored cars
must be Hi to 2V4 tonners to
support the sheer weight and
bulk of the money flow Loomis
handles.
Industrialist Henry J. Kaiser
looked.for tremendous growth in
the economy in the forseeable
future.
"All of the basic industries in
which we are engaged alumi
num, steel, cement, gypsum
building products, chemicals, re
fractories, etc. can count on
high production and heavy de
mand in 1956," Kaiser said.
Expansions Planned
"In fact, substantial , expan
sions are being planned in each
of these fields."
He said that at the present
time the various Kaiser affili
ated companies have a total ex
pansion program amounting to
well over a half billion dollars.
Harold Quinton, president of
Southern California Edison Co.,
anticipated some overall de
cline in the economy this year
compared to 1955.
But 1955 was a year of "extra
ordinary growth" for Edison, re
quiring record plant increases
for 1956 and 1957, Quinton said.
- "During these two years our
gross plant additions will total
approximately 5126,688,000 and
$124,328,000 respectively," he
said. "This year alone an antici
pated 340,000 kilowatts of gen
erating capacity will be added
to the Edison system
R. L. Minckler, president of
General Petroleum Co., reported
that several improvements . are
planned for the company's refin
eries at Torrance and Ferndale.
"We expect an " increase of
about four per cent in the de
mand for oil this year, he said,
William A. Allen, president of
Boeing Airplane Co., said sales
should remain about the . same
as in 1955, with the company's
employment expected to be
fairly constant throughout the
year. -.
Mark R. Sullivan, president of

spend about $400,000,000 to

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN
Back Stairs: Marquee Carries Message
By MERRIMAN SMITH
United Press While House
Writer
Thomasville, Ga. (U.R
Backstairs at the South Geor
gia White House:
Sign of the times: Tha mar
quee of a drive-theater on the
outskirts of Thomasville is de
voted entirely this week to the
following message:
"Welcome Ike. Say yes. Don't
let 'em louse us up."
And this is heavy Democrat
territory.
The President's limousine
from Washington with the slid
ing panel in the roof over the
rear seat causes as much talk in
these parts as the second term.
The vehicle is referred to lo
cally as "Ike's car with the hole
for his head."
The sliding panel was in
stalled to permit the President
to stand up and ' greet crowds
while passing through towns.
When he is on the highway be
tween populated areas, the panel
is closed to keep wind off the
persons riding in the back seat.
One slightly irreverent ob
server of the presidential scene
points out that when Mr. Eisen
hower returns to Washington
and finally clinches his second
term decision, he'll have a choice
of historic spots at the White
House in which to make up his
mind finally, the Lincoln bed
room, the Roosevelt swimming
pool or the Truman bowling
alley.
The highly hospitable people
of Thomasville . are still very
curious about the manner of life
of the White House party. The
President's staff and attendant
press corps is quartered in the
Scott hotel, about seven miles
from the plantation where the
chief executive is staying.
One sunny afternoon this
week a bellhop was taking it
easy in front of the hotel and
an old woman walked up.
"Boy,'1 she said, "How are
these Eisenhower folks tipping
you?"
MODERN DIANA
Grand Rapids, Mich. &I.R)
Attractive Gloria Jean Newell,
17, winner of a state outdoor
rifle championship last year,
does all right with a bow and
arrow, too. She bagged a doe
with the . first arrow she ever
fired at a deer near Remus about
100 miles north of Grand Rapids.
The bellman allowed as how
he was picking up plenty of
quarters.
"Oh pshaw," she said with a
note of sympathy, "I thought
they'd be handing out $5 and
$10 bills." , -1
This kind lady probably didn't
know that the White House staff
travels on a strict $12 daily al
lowance, and out of this must
pay their hotel bils, all meals,
cleaning, laundry, tips and other
incidentals, which doesn't leave
much even for quarters.
