N ewb urg- er and Loeb & . II Mill I I. I), Llmer Waxxer Co. devotes a whole letter to the subject: "The coming boom in j population growth that may The Newburger analyist lists companies which make such equipment and suggest that in vestment portfolios should con tain a diversified list of stocks of some of these companies. The whole idea seems to be there'll be a lot more leisure as time goes on with more popula tion, shorter hours of work and the like. There will be a big rise in population in the next decade, according to. the demographers who have the figures plotted rsgit out to the last man, woman and child. There's one little hitch in the the leisure timeield. The firm projects a big demand for all sorts of leisure equipment such as the items which one must purchase to pursue such leisure programs as fishing, boating, amateur photography, home work shop operations, phonograph record playing, make shorter work weeks longer than many expect. The population of the nation is expected to rise from the 165 million of 1955 to 193 million in 1965. That's a gain of 28 million or 17 per cent. In that same period, the demographers estimate the bowling, billiards, bicycle rid-j labor force will increase from 68 ing, skiing, and gardening. million to 79 million. That's a Seven Killed in California Crash Livermore, Calif.' HI Seven persons were killed late Friday rise of a little more than 15 per cent. What the foregoing is trying to show is that the labor force will rise at a slower pace than the population. There are going to be big gains in the non-working groups at the young and at the old end of the scale. Have To Work Harder Therefore, it would seem that the working force available will have to work a bit harder than before to- make up for the fact that the youngsters will be -in school and the oldsters will be playing shuffleboard. The Twentieth Century Fund has an antidote to that, however, and Newburger, Loeb quotes it as follows: ' "One man with today's power driven mechanical equipment can do as much work in 40 hours as three men working 70 hours a week with the primitive tools of a century ago." And in an other century, the projection says,' we'll be able to produce in one day what now takes a week.

Truck driver Johnny M. Rod riques, Stockton, told the CHP that the woman driver of the Hayward car which sideswiped his truck changed places with her husband when they stopped to investigate the damage to the truck. k "You're going to kill some one if you keep driving," Rod riquez told Mrs. Pauline F. Lockett, 38, of Hayward. Rodri quez said Mrs. Lockett and her husband, Paul, 40, apparently under the influence of liquor, just smiled and changed places. Within minutes of the side swiping incident, the Lockett car veered over the dividing strip of the highway and smash ed into a car carrying the fam ily of Lt. Col. Clarence E. Fisch er, 39. . Fischer, commanding officer of the 93rd Armament and El ectronics Squadron at Castle Air Force base, was killed out right along with his wife, Faye, 33, and two of their children, Ray, 10, and 18-month-old Kitty. A ihird child, Terry, 9. died la ter in Park Air Force Base hos pital. The Fischers had been transferred West from San An tonio, Tex., six weeks ago, a spokesman said. Khrushchev Says Reds Will Better Production Berlin (IB Soviet Communist Party Chief Nikita Khrushchev said Saturday, the Soviet Union will overtake the United States in industrial production and achieve the world's "highest standard of living." The barnstorming Khrush chev, pushing a drive to wipe out anti-Communism in East Germany, also told East Ger mans they had to choose between Communism and militarism. Racial Integration In New Orleans Is Supported by Pope By Charles W. Ridley United Press Correspondent Vatican City . (tP Pope Pius XII fully supports arch bishop Joseph Rummel of New Orleans i.i his fight against racial segregation in the church, a high Vatican cource said Sat urday. It appeared that the Vatican, indirectly, would reject an ap peal to the pontiff by the New Orleans association of Catholic laymen asking him to halt the Archbishop's program of racial integration. The source said the church's stand was contained in the first encycical of the Pope's reign issued Oct. 20, 1939. In that encyclical entitled "summi pon tificatus" (of the supreme ponti ficate) the Pope declared all men "equal sons in the house of the Father" once they have been baptized and enter the church. However, the source said it was unlikely that the pontiff himself or the Vatican secre tariat of state would reply di rectly to the appeal of the New Orleans Catholics. He said a reply probably would be made either . through Msgr. Amleto Cicognani. the apostolic delegate to the United States, or through Archbishop Rummel himself. A direct answer from the Pope was not necessary, the source said, because the spiriV ual leader already has taken his stand that segregation is sin ful. Archbishop Rummel ruled that segregation in the church was "morally wrong and sin ful," a statement which the semi-official Vatican newspaper "Osservatore. Romano" has echoed frequently in sharp edi torial language. In October. 1955, Osservatore said it was the duty of Ameri can Catholics to erase the "color smudge." At the ' time, Arch bishop Rummel has closed down the St. Cecelia mission at Jesuit Bend, La., as punishment be cause the parishioners refused to accept a Negro priest. , The newspaper denounced segegation as "blasphemy" and "sacrilege." Highest wind velocity In the hurricane of 1900 that caused $30,000,000 damage to Galves ton, Tex., and killed thousands is not known. The wind-measuring device was blown away when winds reached 65 miles an hour. Crew of Crippled Plane Returns to California Travis AFB, Cailf. (IP) The crew of a crippled MATS C97 giant stratocruiser which skimmed over the Pacific for six hours Thursday flew home Saturday after , more plane trouble forced their return to Hawaii for repairs to the ship's pressure system. Maj. Samuel W. Tyson, 37, and his nine crew - members were met by members of their families and Air Force officials. Tyson, who was met by his wife and two young children, Sam Jr., 11, and Toni, 9. said he took off in another MATS plane Friday night only to turn around an hour out because a cable had become loose in the pressure system. "We could have gone on at a normal altitude but we wanted to climb up to get home in a hurry." The return flight, which normally takes 10 hours, was made in 8 hours, 30 minutes. . Referring to his harrowing 1.000-mile flight to Hilo, Hawaii, with 67 aboard, Tyson said his situation "was exactly the same" as that of Pan American Pilot James Ogg who safely ditched his PAA plane last year when one of his engines went out. "Ogg, was talking to the navigation ship when his trouble occurred and so was I," Tyson said. - Tyson, holded of two Distin guished Flying Crosses and candidate for a third, said both he and Ogg were at approxi mately the same altitude, 16,000 feet and "both of us had just passed the point of no return." Stay Near Ship "Ogg elected to stay near the ship, fly out of gas, and ditch," Tyson said. "I used Ogg's experience as a guide and elected to fly in. "I had to fly five hours, any way, to get rid of my fuel and if I had made a wrong choice I could always go back to the ship and keep 30 minutes of fuel to ditch." , ;: Tyson said he was one of the first pilots to talk to Ogg after his ditching and said he bene fited further a few weeks later when the Pan American pilot explained the situation to Trav is pilots. The MATS pilot will fly by commercial airliner o New York tonight for television ap pearances and will proceed to Washington Tuesday, presum ably to receive his third DFC. ne?cii X without J filling -' if Pepsi-Cola Bottling ., of Medford Under appointment from Pepsi-Cola Company, New York open SfrlO fh fk WHAT . 3Uctm.
