Promotion Could Double Sale
Of Private Airplanes In U.S.
By JAMES R. KERR

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.

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.

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.
