ILl TODAY-F fraining -Consultant ays-County in For liq Business Boom In the next five to 10 years I The training consultant this country is in for the greatest boom it has ever known, F. H. Womack, Aus tin,. Tex., stated yesterday in a talk to Medford Kiwanis club. . ' . ... Womack, a training consult ant in public relations and per sonnel management, said the boom should extend 20 to 25 years. He pointed to increase in population as a reason for the boom in business. . The consultant addressed Kiwanians at their luncheon at Rogue Valley Country club. He is conducting classes three days this week at Hedrick Junior High school, under sponsorship of the Retail Cred it association and the Credit Bureau of Medford. Felt in Certain Areas Womack, who reported that he had "pipelines" to econo mists, said that the so-called "recession" is only being felt in certain areas to any extent. He said that the recession has been localized with industrial ized areas, the auto, steel and iron and alloy industries being hard hit. The consultant re ported that the Southwest was not touched hard and the West Coast was only lightly hit. Concerning the outlook in the immediate future, Womack said that business and govern ment heads in Washington, D.C., have recognized what' is happening and are doing something about it. However, he told of the current aversion toward rush legislation. He. in dicated that it will be another month before some of the lev eling off effects are felt and predicted a slight upturn in the latter part of the year. Unemployment now is de clining but will go back up in June, Womack said. He added that this is a "natural thing" and nothing to get excited about. He mentioned the addi tion of students to the labor market as a reason. Long Range Projects - Concerning some of the trends, Womack reported that businessmen, instead of look ing for a "fast buck," are eyeing long range projects. He reported that savings are at the highest level in history and that people, unsure of the future, are paying off install ment credits fast and are pay ing for things in cash. Management realizes that it is to blame . for some of the faults in business, Womack stated. It is going into the field of public relations and an aim is to stress to . every person of an organization that he is a direct representative of that business. "One of the things we need most in ' life is to get along with other peo ple," Womack stressed. at I ACFftAIRV-.SM TO ikm m whm mm. m n m m m.M nun 11 11 n 11 East Main and Genessee - The Coupons on Your Doorsteps Are Your Tickets! mentioned to the service club members the sweeping eco nomic - changes ; which take place when as many as lOO people are brought into a com munity by a business.

Knowland said to day he considers Vice Presi dent Richard M. Nixon to be the only "major" Republican candidate for the presidency in .1960. The California Republican, GOP leader in the Senate, made the statement at a news conference when asked if he thought Nixon's " presidential stock was boosted by the big reception he received fol lowing ..his violence-marred tour of 'South America. "I do not, agree with some columnists that this devel opment should necessarily be tied in with 1960," Knowland said. "While I don't feel the South American tour and the 1960 elections is particularly significant, I think the vice president is the leading con tender for the presidency and so far as I can see he is the only major candidate on -the Republican ticket." Knowland said that Nixon and his wife, , Pat, "handled themselves extremely . jvell under the most trying circum stances." Knowland is retiring from the Senate to run for govern or of California. His opponents have charged that Knowland hopes to use the governorship as a, "step ping, stone" to the .-' White House. He has insisted re peatedly that he is running for governor "and nothing else." i- Weather FORECASTS Medford and vicinity: Consider able cloudiness through Friday.
