Promotion Could Double Sale Of Private Airplanes In U.S. By JAMES R. KERR President, Lycoming Division AVCO Manufacturing Co. Written for United Press New York HP! I sell air craft engines, not planes, but j I have a real conviction that the company plane market could double in three to five years if it keeps talking a lit tle more directly to the lady of the executive house. There are approximately 56,000 civil aircraft in use to day, and of this number, more than 22,000 are executive or company aircraft. The growth in private flying of the busi ness type has been described as "akin to a revolution" in the decentralization of corpo rate operations and activities. The sales appeal which has reaped such a handsome har vest has been largely angled at the business efficiency and expanded activity ambitions of the man behind the desk. CBS Emergency Crews Fared Well With Cameras By WILLIAM EWALD United Press Correspondent New York (IP! CBS, struck by some 1,300 technicians, came off pretty well Monday night with emergency person nel manning the network's eyes and ears. With the bulk of its evening shows on film ("Studio One" ran off the kinescope of a show seen last October) the TV network faced only one real challenge: Arthur God frey's "Talent Scouts" which was beamed live out of Man hattan. "Talent Scouts" went off without any notable flubs There were a couple of very brief moments when the cam eras seemed unsteady and once, moving in for a closeup 'of the face of one member of a female trio, the camera went out of focus for a fraction of a second. Aside from this, the show ran smoothly. Tricky Business. In fact, during one act a male Canadian pianist's at tack on "Brazil" the camera started with a profile shot, moved in for a "mirror" shot of his hands reflected above the keyboard, dissolved to a shot of his head, dissolved again to his hands and moved back. It wasn't a terribly tricky piece of business, but ' considering that amateurs were working the cameras, it was surprising that it was at tempted at all. The last bit of business on the show measuring the au dience's applause for perform ers called for more swift cuts, running as it did from Godfrey to performers to ap plause meters three times around, and this, too, was carried off deftly. The only noteworthy net work hitches during the eve ning took place on the Doug Edwards 1 5 - minute news show. "Good evening, every body," announced Edwards, but for two or three seconds there was no picture. And although the rest of the show worked out well visually, there was audio trouble. Dur ing the last commercial, there were sounds of banging, thumping, talking and even one human whistle. Less Taxing Shots CBS-TV reported no major troubles on its afternoon shows, but it did lose about 40 or 50 seconds of the audio on "The Big Pay-off and its live shows had to stick to less taxing camera shots. One ob server reported, for example, that "The Verdict Is Yours," a show that often uses trick effects like "wipes," had to stick pretty closely to more elementary electronic ogling, If the strike continues, CBS-TV 'will face a much severer test tonight. "The Red Skelton Show" and "Mr Adams and Eve" will be on film, but the rest of the menu, "Name That Tune," "Wingo," "Tell the Truth" and "The $64,000 Question" all will be live. Plymouth Dealer Attends Meeting Dick Knight, local DeSoto Plymouth dealer, recently at tended a three-day meeting in Detroit for a factory-dealer conference. Knight was the representa tive for Oregon, Washington, Montana and Idaho. The meet ing is held each year to dis cuss dealership problems and for better relationships be tween the DeSoto division of Chrysler and their dealers. A full report of the confer ence will be given to a region meeting of dealers in the near future, Knight added. UTRILLO'S WIDOW TO U.S. Monte Carlo, Monaco (IP) Lucia Valore Utrillo, widow of the Parisian painter, Mau rice Utrillo, said today she will make her first trip to the United States next month for an exhibition of her own works as well as those of her husband and mother-in-law. The exhibition will open May 12 in New York. HAITI ENVOY DIES New York (IP) Ernest G. Chauvet, 69, Haitian -ambassador to the United States since 1946, died at his resi dence here Sunday. He has been told, and right ly so, that the company plane can condense space and cap sule time, and magnify the number of people and places he can see and visit in a work ing day or a week. He can leave his home in the morn ing, get in the plane at a next-door airport, and in a matter of minutes, be comfort ably and safely airborne to his first appointment of the day. He doesn't fight the battle of the highway or the throughway. He doesn't sub ject himself to the psychologi cal i lethargies of the com muter, and his mode of trans port enables him to arrive for his first date mentally, physi cally and spiritually unem cumbered by any en route em broilments. The sprouting complexities of business in this dawning age of space will certainly serve to highlight the time- saving characteristic of the company plane. This real ap peal, together with the up grading of reciprocating en gine horsepower, the intro duction of gas turbines such as ours, the perfection of all weather traffic controls sys tems, and the creation of more suitable airport facili ties in certain areas, will sure ly lead to continued expan sion of the executive fleet. Although there remain peo ple to whom private flying is still a sun-tanned and wizen ed veteran stunting in a Stin- son at the state fair or the tattered early-vintage mono plane swaying in the wind at the local airport, the utility and safety of the executive aircraft has been well estab lished generally in the busi ness community. 'Togetherness' There seems to be a bit of a "wing-around" now within the industry to tell its story to the wives and families of those executives it is still try ing to reach. Its appeal here is "togetherness," if you will and the point is softly made that the company plane not only gives more time for your deals but more time for your dealings. An all-out industry adver tising and educational cam paign, aimed at the wives of executives, might well pro duce substantial economic and social gains. Based on the premise that most wives would like most husbands home more often, the campaign would be themed on the built-in time saving characteristic ,of the company plane. As I have in dicated, a successful program of this type would certainly lead to a further expansion of this very healthy industry.' Its most important contribution, however, would be a solidify ing of the family circle. Spanish Express Train Quits Tracks Cordoba, Spain (IP) A 14 car express train jammed with tourists jumped the tracks en route from Algeciras to Ma drid early today, killing at least two crewmen and injur ing an estimated 50 passen gers. The crash tore down a tele phone' line bordering the track. First reports said three passenger coaches, the engine, tender and a mail coach were overturned. Other coaches landed crazily as they snaked behind the first upset cars. The train was known local ly as "The American" because it often carried tourists from transatlantic liners docking at Algeciras. Two emergency trains and all available ambulances rush ed to hospitals in Cordoba.

MEMSEH , SAVINGS AND LOAN FOUNDATION Investments made by the 10th of the month earn dividends as of the first FIRST FEDERAL Savings & Loan Assn. of Medford 29 North Ivy Street R. F. Kyle, President Convenient Street Parking Hillsboro Pinball Game List Sought Hillsboro (IP) Circuit Judge Glenn Hieber Monday ordered pinball machine op erators who recently obtain ed a temporary restraining order to report the location and number of machines which offer free plays. The order was issued after District Attorney Francis Linklater made a motion seek ing to modify the temporary order obtained by operators. The judge denied a request from Linklater that an ac counting of funds taken in be made and that the money be impounded until a decision was reached. Judge Hieber earlier set April 22 as date of a hearing on whether pinball machines which pay off in free games are legal, but this date was removed from the calendar after the court ruled that the state had not taken steps to bring the case to issue. Uncontrolled Fire Follows Explosion Taylor, B. C. (IP) Flames raged out of control early to day in the wake of an ex- plosion that ripped through the Pacific Petroleum instal lations in this northeastern British Columbia community. One man was killed and two others seriously injured. Their identity was not immed iately released. The explosion occurred about 7:45 p.m. (PST) Mon day night and could be seen 140 miles to the southeast. The resulting fire spread quickly to five giant tanks used for gasoline storing. Three of the tanks were burn ing out of control. Murder-Suicide Victims Identified Vancouver, Wash. (IP) Au thorities here identified the victims of an apparent mur der-suicide Monday night as Mrs. Ruth Mae Smith, 49, and Namy C. Peters, 52, both of Vancouver. Police said Peters was de scribed as a "jilted suitor." Clark County Coroner Paul Milan said Peters apparently went to the Smith home but was refused entry. Peters then shot through the glass of the front door, fatally injuring the Smith woman, and then shot himself, Milan said. Indian Health Officer Apointed Portland (IP) The Federal Public Health Service today announced the appointment of Dr. Charles R. Mallary as act ing medical officer in charge of the Indian health area of fice here. Dr. Mallary succeeds Dr. Ruth E.

Brewton, 24, Monday was found guilty of first degree murder by a circuit court jury in the death of a Portland grocer during an attempted robbery last Nov. 14. The panel of nine women and three men recommended life imprisonment. Brewton was charged in the fatal shooting of William W. McKenzie. 71. during an at tempted holdup at the victim's store. Eugene Taylor, 43, Brewton's alleged accomplice, died recently. When lions charge, the animals come at an approxi mate speed of 40 miles per hour. Valley Area Expanding In Four Phase Growth The Rogue Valley area is becoming a center for recrea tion, medical facilities, light industry and wholesale deal ships, according to Don Mc Neil, Jackson County Cham ber of commerce manager, to the roundtable meeting Mon day noon. McNeil pointed out the number of medical specialists in the area has increased more than 350 per cent in the past few years, according to Stanford research study. He added the opening of the new Rogue Valley hospital will probably add to this number. He noted the number of wholesale distributers in the area has increased to more than 115 who handle about 81 million dollars worth of goods each year. This places Medford third in the state of wholesale distributers, head ded. The chamber of commerce has long "plugged" the recre ation idea, he said, adding that a large increase in the tourist field has been made in recent years. Sales Show Gain In Portland Stores Portland (IP) The Federal Reserve Bank reported "here Monday that Portland depart ment store sales recorded a six per cent gain in the week ended March 29 over the same week of 1957. The four week period also ended March 29 was up four per cent over the same period a year ago. In the rest of the 12th Federal Reserve District, the Western states, depart ment store sales dropped an average of two per cent. NO CHANGE IN ARABIA Washington (IP) Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Faisal is working "in cordial cooper ation with King Saud since the desert kingdom's palace shakeup, the Saudi ambassa dor said Monday. Ambassa dor Abdullah al-Khayyal said the granting of broad power to Faisal was not a basic change. McNeil also told the group of the number of small in dustries coming into the val ley. He said the valley has had, and can still expect, a large increase in population. When a large increase in population takes place, a num ber of small industries come in, he noted. He added that a 71 per cent in payrolls has taken place in the five-year period between 1951 and 1956. Mc Neil said the payroll amounts for the valley have rose for the past eight years.
