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.

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."

Comparisons Show
Long Differences
Among Aged Groups
and women
Delos Sm'.th
By DELOS SMITH
United Press Science Editor
New York (IPt Careful
comparisons among 66 men
who were 60
years old or
older suggest
ed there were
life - long dif
ferences be
tween those
who had be
come old "suc
cessfully" and
those who had
done so "unsuccessfully."
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-

He was stricken while aboard

the Courier-Post. The party

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.
