In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Interesting industrial note: Back in New York the oth er days, the head of a factory locating service that is, an organization that gives manu facturers expert advice for a fee told a management con ference audience that popula tion shifts and rising trans portation costs are spurring industries to MOVE AWAY FROM THE OLD INDUS TRIAL CENTERS. He added: "BRANCH P L A N T S are the only sound answer in these days for manufacturers selling products nationally." THAT is to say: The smart thing for man ufacturing industries to do in these days is to GET CLOSER TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. If they don't, their distribu tion costs will eat up their profits. r'S a fair guess that this ex pert's advice to "move away from the old industrial centers" raised in the minds of his hearers (who were largely Eastern industrialists) this question: Where shall we move? For an answer to that ques tion, let's go back a little bet ter than a century. IN 1851, John Babsone Lane Soule wrote an article in the Terre Haute, Indiana, Ex press, in which he offered this advice: "Go West, young man, and grow up with the coun try." Soule's pungant phrase came under the eye of Horace Greeley, the distinguished ed itor of the New York Tribune, and he used it in an editorial. It caught on. People began to quote it. Gold had just been discovered in California, and the attention of all Americans was strongly oriented toward the West. Because of his reference to it in a Tribune editorial, the advice was generally credited to Greeley. So, being an in tellectually honest editor who refused to be the beneficiary of a plagiarism, he printed Soule's article in its entirety in the Tribune to show the source of his inspiration. BACK in 1851, when young men hearkened to the ad vice to "Go West and grow up with the country," their minds were filled with dreams of gold. In their ears sounded the miner's gloating chant: "There's GOLD in them thar hills, podner." So WEST they went, telling their left-behind Susannahs consolingly: . "Oh, don't you cry for me, "For I'm off to Californy "With my pickaxe on my knee." WELL, there's STILL gold in them thar hills. And in them thar valleys. And in them thar wide plains. The gold of trade and com merce in ever-swelling metro politan cities and in burgeon ing hamlets and towns that WILL BE CITIES before one has much more than time to say Jack Robinson. THE population of the 11 Western states is growing at a rate twice that of the rest of the country. These new people who are coming to the new West will be NEW CUS TOMERS for the industries that make things for people to use. Most important of all from the standpoint of the indus trialist, they will be custom ers for the products that are manufactured in the West and therefore do not have to add to their orice the cost of trans portation clear across the country. These new Western plants won't have to include in their advertising this time honored phrase: "PRICES HIGHER WEST OF THE ROCKIES." KEEP your eye on the West. What will happen here in the next decade or so will be worth seeing. Loyalists Encircle Cuban Rebel Band Havana iW Loyal troops cordoning off the rebels in the Maestra mountains of eastern Cuba inflicted eight casualties on an insurgent band in the Joturo area Mon day, the army announced to day. The communique did not indicate how many of the eight were killed and how many were wounded. It said uninjured members of the rebel band fled into the hills, "abandoning their casualties and a great quantity of equip ment." In Havana, a joint session of Congress boycotted by the opposition voted 100 to 0 to extend the current suspension of civil rights to Cuba for 45 days. The vote ratified a deci sion reached by the cabinet Friday. Forests cover more than half of South Carolina. Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- JOEY ADAMS appears at many benefits, and the societies and fraternal orders he has thus favored have given him elabor ate badges as tokens of their appreciation. Adams used to tuck the badges into the glove compartment of his car. One evening a motorcycle cop clocked him doing 75 miles an hour and asked for his license. Joey, remember ing his badges, thought the cop might be sufficiently impressed to let him off with a dressing-down. The cop looked at the badges with a fishy eye, spoke his piece, and wrote out a ticket. But now, for the first time, Adams knows what he can do with those y badges. A tank-about-town was persuaded to take up yoga. After months of torturing long unused muscles, he became quite proficient at it, too. "Has yoga helped him?" his wife was asked. "In one way," she answered. "Now he can get loaded standing on his head, too." O 1958. by Bennett Cert.

From early childhood on ward, the successful had been much less inclined to "sub mit" to gate. They had been much more independent in their living. Their relations with families and friends had always been better. They knew how to amuse them selves, and they were more re ligious. "Successful aging" was judged on the basis of main taining one-self in the main stream of life despite a bur den of years. "Unsuccessful aging" was taken to mean be ing wholly incapable of cop ing with life in this case by becoming an inmate of a state mental hospital. Groups Compared The comparisons were made by William Pappas, so ciologist, and Dr. Reuben J. Silver, psychologist, of the state hospital at Fergus Falls, Minn. They began with 12 men and 21 women 65 years old or older who for the first time in their lives had be come incompetent to deal with life. They went back into the communities from which these 33 came and found a match for each one, that is a person of the same age, sex, and family, social, and eco nomic backgrounds who was continuing to function as a member of the community. This added up to 66 24 men and 42 women and the life histories of all were1 carefully assembled. The similarities between the life histories of the suc cessful and the unsuccessful were even more striking than the dissimilarities. As chil dren they had been very much alike. Their schooling had been more or less identi cal. The women had been housewives, the men farmers and laborers; there were no differences in occupations. Differences Become Apparent The unsuccessful were sub missive and dependent toward their parents as chil dren, and as adults were that way toward mates and other people. However, the differ ences between the successful and unsuccessful were not sharply apparent until they were somewhere between 40 and 55 years old. The unsuccessful were in different about the future; the successful planned for it. The successful were satisfied with what life had brought them so far: the unsuccessful were not. The latter were in clined to retire from work, but the former were not. When retired, the successful had outlets for their leisure they knew how to stay amused. The unsuccessful didn't. It may be that unsuccessful aging represents a sickening "exaggeration of life long trends," the scientists said in reporting to the American Geriatrics Society. By LOUIS CASSELS United Press Correspondent v Washington (IP) Behind the round-trip deportation of San Francisco draftsman Wil liam Heikkila is one of the most complex, least-understood laws on the U. S. sta tute books. It is called the Immigra tion and Na tionality Act The current version was passed in 1952 and is com monly known as the Mc Carran - Wal ter Act. To the 2,833,000 aliens liv ing in the United States, this many paged law often looms larger than the Constitution or Bill of Rights. Any alien who runs afoul of its numer ous provisions can be deport ed, no matter how long he has lived in America. Lived Here 52 Years Heikkila, for example, has lived in this country for near ly 52 years. He came here with his parents from Finland when he was 10 weeks old. If his parents had .become natur alized citizens while he was a child, he would have auto matically "derived" U, S, citi zenship. Contrary to publish ed reports, records of the imi gration and Naturalization Service records show that neither of his parents ever became naturalized Americans. Heikkila could have applied for citizenship in his own right at any time after he be came 18. Records show that he did file a "declaration of in tent" to become a citizen the so-called "first papers" when he was 18. But it was not until 1945, when he was 39, that he filed an actual petition for naturalization. Petition Turned Down It was turned down be cause Heikkila admitted at a hearing that he had been a member -of the Communist Party from 1929 to 1939. Whether Heikkila has had any connection with Commu nist activity since 1939 is not an issue in his deportation, case. Uuder the McCarran Walter Act, an alien can be deported if it is shown that he has been a member of the Communist Party, or that he espoused its doctrines, "at any time" after his entry into the United States. 1 Immigration officials said this means that . even one week's membership in the Communist Party 30 or 40 years ago is sufficient grounds for deportation of an alien. What if an alien repents a youthful flirtation with Com munism, breaks with the par ty and becomes strongly anti Communist? Is he still sub ject to 'deportation? Technically, yes, But the law contains a provision under which such a person may ap peal to Immigration authori ties for "suspension of depor tation." He must show that he is now a person of "good moral character," free of sub versive learnings and that he would suffer "exceptional hardship" if deported. Applied in 1953 Heikkila applied for sus pension of deportation in 19 53, six years after the Immi gration . Service had started proceedings to expel him. His request was rejected first by a hearing officer and later by the Board of Immigration ap peals. Heikkila then took his case into the federal courts, where it has been bouncing around ever since;. Although deportations for past or present Communist ac tivity usually receive the most publicity, they constitute on ly a tiny fraction of the total. During the last fiscal year, 5,082 aliens were deported. Of these, only 12 were charg ed with a history of subver sive activity. The vast majority of depor- SPORTS EDITOR DIES Toledo, Spain (IPI Harry Rasmussen, 54, sports . editor of the Camden, N.J., Courier Post, died Monday of a heart attack 'while on a trip here. He was stricken while aboard a bus carrying 46 other per sons on a tour sponsored by the Courier-Post. The party included Mayor Christian Weber of Delaware Township, N.J., where Rasmussen lived, and Miss Jane Stretch, Courier-Post editor. tations more than four-fifths of the total involve people who never had any legal right to be permanent residents of the United States. Most Entered Illegally In this category are aliens who sneak across the border or use false papers; those who come here on temporary visitors' permits and stay af ter their visas expire; and those who manage to get back into the country after having been previously deported. Specific offences for which an alien may be deported in clude selling narcotics, or be coming a narcotics addict; be coming a prostitute or a pan derer; carrying illegal weap ons; and smuggling. Any alien who becomes a "public charge" or who is con fined to a public institution for "mental dissease, defect or deficiency" within five years after entering the country al so is subject to deportation. A deportee normally is sent to the country of which he is a citizen. However, there are a number of ifs and buts to this rule. An alien sometimes is allowed to choose depor tation to a country other than his native land. The consent of the country to which an alien is being sent must be obtained in advance, whether or not it is his native land. International customs, reinforced in some cases by treaties, dictates that a coun try should always take back one of its own citizens who becomes unwelcome abroad.
