Local Business Men Hear Information
On Morrison-Knudsen Construction Co.
H. W. Morrison, Boise, Ida.,
president of Morrison-Knudsen
Co., one of the largest
construction firms in the
world, visited Medford yes
rterday, and was host to about
30 Medford businessmen at a
luncheon at the Rogue Valley
Country club.
.. Morrison, who was accom
panied by several top execu
te tives of the firm, was en route
-to Portland in the company's
plane, and left yesterday
afternoon.
The luncheon was held as
Z good-will gesture to busi
nessmen of the area, to in
form them of the company's
vorld - girdling operations,
and to let them know, Mor
ryison said, "of our company's
interests in this area." They
Zhave performed a number of
-jobs in southern Oregon and
"northern California, and oth
ers are under way now, in
cluding construction of the
California Oregon Power
company's new dam and pow
der plant at Big Bend on the
Klamath river.
Z Morrison, in a brief talk,
discussed some of the com
pany's projects, and reminisc
ed about incidents he recalled
from his travels throughout
the world. He said the com
pany has been accused of
."helping both sides" during
Zihe current fighting in Indo
nesia, but said with a smile,
-"when those fellows come at
you -with guns, what are you
going to do?"
Often, he said, the M-K
company pays rates of pay to
native labor far below what
they would like, but must do
so because the governments
involved insist that American
rates of pay would make the
Slafe GOP Group
Adopts Principles
Salem (IP) A statement
of party principles adopted by
the Republican State Central
Committee has been released
here by Robert Mix, Corval
lis, chairman of the statewide
GOP policy and action com
mittee. Mix said the statement was
prepared by his committee in
cooperation with Republican
county central committee
chairmen.
"It is our hope that this firm
statement of where we stand
will make it clear that all are
' welcome in the Republican
f party," Mix said.
; Included in the principles
; were statements advocating
I fullest beneficial utilization of
r natural resources, strengthen-
Ing of local government and
favoring responsible labor
; unions as a valued and desir-
auie pan 01 our society.
Air Force Bomber
Explodes in Flight
North Collins, N.Y (IP)
An Air Force B-47 bomber
from the Lockbourne, Ohio,
base exploded in flight Thurs
day as it passed over western
New York.
Apparently all members of
Its crew, usually three or four
; men, perished.
The six - turbojet plane
; plunged to earth in two main
sections, striking with an im
: pact which was felt five miles
; away.
The bodies of two members
' of the crew were found
wedged in one of the larger
pieces of wreckage.
workers unljit for anything
else after the project is com
pleted. Instead, Morrison said,
the firm frequently feeds its
workers so that all their pay
can go to their families. He
said this sometimes actually
doubles the amount workers
receive.
A film about Peru, and
about the company's construc
tion work on a big irrigation
project there, was shown fol
lowing the luncheon.
Among those accompanying
the company president were
James N. Wells, vice presi
dent and manager of the Los
Angeles district, E. W. Glass,
Boise, treasurer, and L. C.
Wicks, general superintend
ent of M-K work on the Big
Bend project.
A. C. Cummins and John
Boyle, president and vice
president, respectively, of
Copco, helped arrange the
luncheon, and spoke briefly.
Feeding fhe Family
By ZOLA VINCENT
Food Editor
Teeners Name Potato
Chips Top Vegetable
Teen-agers are forever com
ing up with surprises. Imag
ine naming potato chips as
favorite vegetable. Investiga
tion reveals that 14.2 per cent
of our entire table stock of
potatoes goes into potato
chips. More than 2Vz billion
pounds of potatoes were con
verted into 642V2 million
pounds of potato chips in
1956. 1957 figures are not yet
available. Per capita consump
tion therefore approximates
four sounds and is growing
steadily'.
Potato chips, long the per
fect accompaniment for ham
burgers, hot dogs and other
sandwiches as well as cokes,
are increasingly piled high
in vegetable dishes on the
family meal table. Corn chips
too are growing in populari
ty. Millions of pounds of po
tato chips and corn chips also
get dipped in flavorful party
dips and dunks which are
popular with all agers.
The distinctive flavor and
texture of chips is increasing
ly enjoyed too in casserole
dishes that are layered; and
in meat, poultry, fish and
vegetable stuffings.
Fruited Ham Loaf
Is Flavorful Treat
Make the best possible use
of any leftover ham, use. table
ready meat or a canned lun
cheon meat for this. Recipe is
for four servings. If family is
larger or you're planning for
guests, two loaves make an
attractive service.
Cook four ounces medium
noodles in three cups boiling
salted water. Boil rapidly,
stirring constantly for two
minutes. Cover, remove from
heat and let stand 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine VA cups
sweetened applesauce, one
tablespoon lemon juice, one
half cup orange juice, one
tablespoon grated orange
rind, one-fourth teaspoon salt,
one-eighth teaspoon dry must
ard, one- eighth teaspoon
cloves, one tablespoon brown
sugar and one cup cubed
cooked ham or table - ready
meat. Mix well.
Rinse noodles with warm
water and drain well. Fold
noodles into ham mixture.
Pour into IV2 quart loaf pan.
Cover and bake in moderate,
350 degree, oven, 25 minutes.
Planked Fish is
Very Special Dish
So beef is high? A whole
fish baked on a hardwood
plank or ovenproof platter
makes a meal for special oc
casions. We stuff it with well
seasoned bread .cubes, sur
round it after baking with
broiled tomato halves and a
ruffle of hot mashed potatoes.
Six servings.

Enjoy Plentiful Poultry,
Hamburger, Lamb, Fish
If it's growing boys and
girls you're feeding, waste no
time muttering about the high
cost of fancy cuts of beef.
Just give the younger genera
tion hamburgers, fried chick
en and lamb stew with an oc
casional fine dish of fish, mac
aroni and cheese.
Teen-agers are on record as
favoring these good substan
tial economical main dishes.
While we're varying our
menus, beef growers will be
growing more beef just as
fast as they can and the old
law of supply and demand
will continue to function.
Fancy beef is high because
it "is scarce. Poultry, lamb
stews and fish are reasonable
in cost because they are plen
tiful. It's as simple as that.
Poultry Good Buy. Broiler
fryer chicks production is ex
pected to continue at record
levels. Commercial hatcheries
in February produced more
than 136 million chicks; 11
per cent more than a year ago.
Turkey storage stocks in
March exceeded 154 million
pounds; about a third more
than average. Egg production
right now is at seasonal peak.
Meat Suggestions. The
thrifty shopper has always
had an eye on the best buys;
continues to find them in the
stewing, braising long slow
cooking cuts of beef and lamb,
thrifty pork cuts. Watch this
newspaper's advertisements.
Look for special offerings in
market displays.
Dairy Abundance. Milk
production continues at rec
ord levels. Milk furnishes
about 100 different nutrients
and is one of the most vital
foods. Consumers find an
abundance of milk and other
dairy products with good
buys in cottage cheese, Ched
dar cheese and ice cream.
Fish and Shellfish. Excel
lent variety in good tasting,
nutrition - packed fresh and
frozen varieties; cod, flound
er, halibut, fish sticks, rock
fish, sablefish, oysters, crab,
shrimp. Look for bargains in
canned tuna and for sardines
packed in a variety of good
sauces as well as in oil.
Fruit Selection, f hoice low
est of the year; mostly avo
cados, apples, grapefruit and
winter pears of good quality.
Some fresh pineapples and coconuts.
Five Children Die
As Home Destroyed
Cleveland, Ohio m Five
children, all under the age of
seven, were killed Thursday
when a fire swept through
their east side home here.
The victims were identified
as the children of Mr. and
Mrs. Arthur Hicks. Police said
the mother, Mrs. Ann Hicks,
fled to safety carrying one of
the couple's six children.
Science Teachers
Examine Courses
Salem flP) A committee of
10 science teachers is meeting
here this week in the office
of the superintendent of pub
lic instruction to examine sci
ence courses in grade and high
schools.
A similar committee al
ready has examined the cur
riculum for mathematics and
within a month two other
committees will each spend
a week on social studies and
language arts.
Joseph I. Hall, director of
curriculum and publications
for the State Department of
Education, said suggestions
from lay persons and educa
tors would be welcome in any
of the fields under examina
tion. '

Business Prospects Expected
To Show Improvement Shortly
Editor's note: William R. White,
analyst for Hornblower & Weeks,
stock exchange firm, has written
the following dispatch for Elmer C.
Waller's "Financial Gossip" while
Walzer is on vacation.
By WILLIAM R. WHITE
Analyst,
Hornblower & Weeks
Written for United Press
New York (IP) Unless the
financial world is all wrong,
business prospects should dis
play worthwhile improve
ment in the next few weeks.
Judged by the behavior of
seasoned stocks, investment
managers have shown little
concern over threat of a se
rious recession. Share prices
have held within an extreme
ly narrow range thus far this
year and, as a matter of fact,
are not much lower than six
months ago.
At the end of the first week
of last October, in terms of
representative averages, the
market was only a trifle high
er than at present.
At that time it was poised
for a sharp setback. Yet de
spite the deterioration in ma
jor industries, with unem
ployment rising to the high
est total in many years, stock
prices have held up much bet
ter than might have been ex
pected. Lows reached in the
third week of October have
not been penetrated in the
subsequent six months.
Although 18 of the 30 is
sues comprising the Dow
Jones industrial index were
lower at the end of March
than six months earlier, most
price changes were compara
tively small and the average
itself was not a great deal be
low the figure prevailing at
the close of September.
. The best showing was ac
complished by foods and
other so-called defensive
stocks. Corn Products, as an
example, rose about 33 per
cent, Procter & Gamble 20
per cent and General Foods
about 14 per cent. Eastman
Kodak improved almost 12
per cent and American Tobac
co about 8 per cent. The
worst showing was registered
by motor shares. Chrysler de
clined 30 per cent and Gen
eral Motors 12 per cent. Un
ion Carbide fell about 19 per
cent. Many losses were only
nominal.
This behavior seems to sug
gest: 1. Investors are neither
greatly alarmed over the out
look of business nor especially
hoieful of a nearby resur
gence in industrial activity
and 2. The need for careful
scrutiny of investments is
greater than ever, for selec
tivity is highly important in
a period of readjustment
where dynamic economic
changes can have a major in
fluence on sales and earnings
in specific industries and in
individual corporations.
The Weather Vane
The market's response in
the next two or three weeks
to publication of rather bleak
March quarter earnings re
ports should determine with
considerable finality whether
the public has developed an
immunity to bad news that
may prevent another broad
decline in stocks.
Odds and ends: Extensive
cancellations for tankers con
tributed to reduced demand
for steel. Beneficial effects of
sharply increased military ex
penditures are being experi
enced by aircraft and elec
tronic manufacturers. Ray
theon Manufacturing reported
its backlog had risen to a rec
ord high of more than $300
million, compared with ?260
million in January, and that
employment had climbed to
a new peak at about 30,000.
In view of an estimated de
cline in Caterpillar Tractor's
March quarter to about 30
cents or 40 cents a share from
$160 in the corresponding pe
riod of 1957 renewed appre
hension over a' dividend re
duction has been manifested.
Earnings of Halliburton Oil
Well Cementing for the quar
ter Just ended are estimated
to have dropped to about 80
cents a share from $1.04 a
year ago. Interest in Quaker
Oats has been based on expec
tations of a higher dividend
in recognition of improved
earnings prospects. .

Precision of Chevy's famous Ball-Race steering was a lifesaver on
cliffedge curves; its silk-smooth ease sharply reduced driver
fatigue. Vital safety factor was full panoramic visibility of

Racking hairpin turns on Chilean slope of Andes tested superior
