Economic Growth Needed
In African Countries
The major problem of Afri-1
can countries wno nave Be
come independent recently is
the development of social and
economic levels with a paral
lel to the political develop
ment, according to Peter Rut
ter, foreign service officer, at
the chamber of commerce
roundtable Monday noon.
Rutter is with the Ameri
can embassy in Accra, Repub
lic of Ghana. He is currently
visiting his brother Dr
Thomas Rutter of Medford
while on vacation.
He told the group the most
important thing on the mind
of every African is independ
ence. He added that only nine
countries in Africa are now
free with several more plan
ning to be independent by
1960.
He described his job as fos
tering and advancing the in
terests of the United States
abroad. He said Ghana is
about the same size of Oregon
with a population of 5 mil
lion Negros and 4,000 to 5,000
European.

In the first three months of 1958 Southern Pacific built or
acquired 1,345 freight cars costing over. $14,800,000.
In the next three months of April, May, and June,
Southern Pacific will build or otherwise acquire
1,108 freight cars costing over $15,400,000.
These figures include 332 mechanical refrigerator cars,
costing $7,400,000, built by Pacific Fruit Express Company,
jointly owned by Southern Pacific and Union Pacific.
These expenditures for freight cars at this time
evidence our confidence in the continuing long-term
growth and prosperity of the territory we serve.
D.
NOTE: In 1957 Southern Pacific built or
acquired 6,990 freight cars at a cost of
over $75,900,000,including 2,000 refriger

1700s and 1800s. Ghana is
the world's largest supplier
of cocoa, furnishing about 35
per cent of the world supply,
he said. Gold, hardwood, in
dustrial diamonds, magnesi
um and bauxite are other im
portant materials exported,
Rutter added.
He said the country has
many untapped natural re
sources which are vital to
modern-day production
Education is a big problem
with few having much busi
ness experience. He said most
government leaders have
been educated in the United
Kingdom or the United
States. The current education
program in the country is
taking about one-third of the
entire budget, he noted.
Rutter explained that most
of the education is now di
rected at the elementary
level but secondary and col
lege levels would have to be
greatly expanded to meet the
need. The official language
of the country is English, he
said. A debate is now taking
place on how the language
should be taught in schools,
he added.
At the present, there is no
trace of Communist influ
ences, Rutter told the group.
However, government lead
ers have stated if their re
quest for help from the west
does not come through, they
will look "elsewhere".
Episcopal Diocese
Votes Fund Drive
Portland (IK The 70th
annual convention of the Epis
copal Diocese of Oregon took
steps Monday to strengthen
the church.
Delegates voted to start a
drive in 1959 to establish a
fund to meet capital needs of
the Diocese, the province and
the national church. They also
voted to start an educational
campaign to arouse awareness
of the needs for personal ev
angelism, improved church at
tendance and proportionate
Christian giving.
John Vassie, St. Michael
and All Angels, was re-elected
treasurer of the Diocese and
the Rev. Robert Graffe, St.

Release of Pound
Sought by Friends
Washington 0P Famous
literary figures rallied around
accused traitor Ezra Pound
today in an effort to free him
from a mental hospital.
Informed sources said the
government would not oppose
a motion to dismiss a treason
indictment and obtain the
poet's release at a hearing in
U.S. District court here
Thursday.
Vermont Poet Robert Frost
keynoted the arguments for
Pound s freedom. He told Dis
trict court Monday, in a state
ment attached to the dismis
sal motion, that keeping
Pound indefinitely in St.
Elizabeth's hospital "would
leave too woeful a story in
American literature."
Pound, now 72, was indict
ed for allegedly broadcasting
Nazi propaganda from Italy
during World War II. In 1945
he was declared insane and
incompetent to stand trial. He
has been hospitalized 12
years.
NATO Streamlining
Of Weapons Urged
Paris (IP) British Defense
Minister Duncan Sandys told
a NATO defense conference
today the Atlantic Pact
should streamline and stand
ardize its weapons production
in preparation for possible
nuclear warfare.
Sandys presented his views
at a conference of the defense
secretaries of the 15 NATO
countries who began a three-
day meeting in Paris today.
He already had sounded out
some allies and met support
for his plan.
U.S. Defense Secretary Neil
H. McElroy was expected to
devote most of his time in
behind-the-scenes lobbying to
win greater acceptance of
U.S. missile bases in Europe.

TRAINS TRUCKS PIGGYBACK PIPELINES,
Mediocre '! Love Lucy'
Show Rescued by Wild
Situations of
By WILLIAM EWALD
United Press Correspondent

seems to be very big on TV
this season.
Bob Hope did a show from
Moscow and Lowell Thomas
one from a polar region.
There was the gelid NBC-TV
spectacular, "Hans Brinker,"
and a recent "Playhouse 90"
with the chilly title, "Turn
left at Mt. Everest."
Monday night, Lucille Ball
and Desi Arnaz got their own,
a 50-minute CBS-TV excur
sion into the refrigerated re
gions of Sun Valley.
It was neither a very funny
show nor a very unfunny one.
It was one of the vast army
of TV efforts, the in-between
show, the kind of 'middling
filler that probably amused
you if you had nothing better
to do and probably irked you
if you had put off doing the
dishes to catch it.
Wild Situation
Its plot was thin some
thing about the ' efforts of
Lucy to cook up a phony ro
mance with Fernando Lamas
in order to make Desi jealous.
As past efforts have proved,
however, the skinniness of a
Lucy-Desi plot doesn't matter
as long as it sets up a suffi
cient number of wild situa
tions for the screwball brand
of Miss Ball's comedy.
But Monday night's show
was not sufficiently wacky
and I would say only one
scene Lucy's efforts in a res
taurant to get her picture
taken with Lamas showed
any real sense of outlandish
cuckooness
As for the cast, Desi was
properly baffled and William
Frawley and Vivian Vance
properly nettled. Fernando
Lamas was properly beauti
ful.
CBS-TV entered the second
week of life under a tech
nicians' strike Monday night,
but managed to funnel "Stu
dio One" out of Hollywood
anyway.
My spies tell me that CBS-
TV flew a special crew of
nine executives to Los Ange
les last Saturday, to operate
the cameras, sound and other
gadgets so the show could
go on.
The show was Mrs. 'Arris
Goes to Paris," a play about
an English charwoman who

Comedy
savings to buy a dress from a
chi-chi French designer. I
won't bore you with the de
tails of the remainder of the
plot except to say that it was
as heartwarming as Lassie
and twice as shaggy.
Probably Dropped Audience
Gracie Fields played the
charwoman who dropped her
"H's" and, I presume, most
of the audience along the
way. Jacques Bergerac as the
designer was fairly inaudible
at times, but I suppose the
girls enjoyed looking at him.
The nine executive-techni
cians can come home now.
And if "Studio One" plans an
other treacly quagmire like
Monday night's effort, they
should stay home.

How much
more income
will you report
next year?
If you're a normal healthy spec
imen you're going to hope it will
be more than the one you have
just reported to Uncle Sam
Try this test to see how good
you might be at making the
total a little larger. Ask your
self: Am I content to go through
life with my job as my only
income? Wouldn't that be
pretty unwise when you might
get extra income from dividends
on common stock or interest on
bonds? Many people like you do.
This kind of income can keep
coming after you've left your
job . . . perhaps for life.
Do I know what good com
mon stocks can bring mo bo
sides income? Common stock
makes you part-owner of a
company. If the company pros
pers your stock may pay more
dividends and may go up in
value. This could help your in
come keep pace with any rise
in prices.
Do I have to be well-heeled
to buy stocks? No indeed.
More than 8 million people
own stock. Two out of three
have incomes under $7500 a
year. Many are buying stock in
some of America's greatest
companies for as little as $40
every three months, up to $1,000
a month, on the Monthly Invest
ment Plan.
Is it all as easy as that? No.
Be sure to keep your wits about
you. For a company may not
pay a dividend, may lose ground
in our free economy. Stock
prices go up and down, like the
price of any kind of property.
Then do I have to be an ex
pert to invest successfully?
Not at all. Few of the people
who are getting -income from
dividends on common stock could
call themselves experts. The im
portant things to do are: Use
only extra money left over after
living expenses are paid and
emergencies provided for. Get
the facts before you invest
never depend on tips or rumors.
And see a broker for sensible
advice. Make sure he's with a'
Member Firm of the New York
