o o o o MAIL TRIBUNE, Mtdfor i. Or. A Wtdnwd.y, June 17, lfS Americans Pouring To Soviet Union in Unusual Numbers Moscow (UPD-Curtain or no, Americans are thronging into Russia with their cameras, guide books and drip-dry ny lon travel shirts. Before Stalin's death in 1953,vAmerican tourists in the Soviet Union were scarce. But under Nikita Khrushchev, Russia has flung open its doors and has become this year a full-fledged tourist target for an army of summer souvenir hunters from the U.S. In 1958, 5,000 Americans visited the Soviet Union. This year, the estimate by travel agencies is that 15,000 will come. Already in Moscow is the advance wave of early visitors who want to get their color photo slides back home on the projection machine before the neighbors do. Resident correspondents who were looked upon as rarities during the winter are being upstaged on the streets by fresher Am ericans with shorter skirts, Bids Called for Happy Camp School i Yreka-Bids for construct ing an addition to Happy Camp High school, Happy Camp, Calif., are being asked by the Siskiyou county union high school district. Figures are due at 2:30 pan.- July 9. The addition will be a sin gle story building, slab or grade with frame walls, to hold a woodshop and science room. Some 3,900 square feet will be involved. Plans can be obtained from the office of t h e architect, Howard R. Perrin, 1121 Main St., Klamath Falls. Quota Restrictions ' Lifted by Marines Monthly quota restrictions on Marine enlistees have been removed, Staff Sgt. Stan Elbie of the Medford Marine recruiting office has an nounced. There is now no limit to the number of men the office may accept for immediate assign ment to active duty. Marines are being assigned to more than 470 different Marine spe cialties, Sergeant "Elbie added. brighter lipstick and swoopier tail tins. Three types of Americans are staring at the gold onion- domes of the churches msiae the Kremlin walls these days. First are the pleasure tour ists who've discovered it's fashionable, or "U" (short for uDDerclass). to visit Russia. After all, everybody's been to London and Paris. Next come delegations on the cultural exchange circuit: educators, writers, entertain ers, artists, scientists, etc. In the third group are business men and economists. A dozen Americans are now building the American exhibi tion in Moscow, and when that opens July 25, there'll be an influx of 80 guides from the U.S. What the effect of all these crew cuts and pretty girls will have on the heretofore isolat ed Russians, only time will tell. But there's such a travel boom that already, the USSR is losing its exclusivity. One American tourist couple com plained the other day there were four other American couples on the plane they took to Leningrad. What's more, five couples touring the coun try recently discovered they were all from Los Angeles.' City Shined Up In the tradition of Russian hospitality, Moscow has been shined up for the rush of visi tors. Two new tourist hotels recently were built with lob bies as big as railway termi nals, resplendent with glitter ing chandeliers and marble statuary. A production quota for sou venirs has been dutifully ful filled, and you see the same souvenirs in all the stores -mainly crystal and enamel ware, carved wooden trinkets and balalaikas (guitars) which no Russian would be caught with. Intourist says new hotels also have been built in 25 oth er cities in the Soviet Union and American-pioneered mo tels are being erected along highways. Khrushchev himself is sometimes on hand for the visitors. The Soviet Premier, with his boundless energy, likes to greet visitors from all over the world, and this sea son he's putting in overtime to exchange views with Am ericans, even tourists.

This authoritative summary gives business a clean bill of health, even to the recession-happy textile industry, and ventures that we'll have at least anoth er year of advance, though probably at a slower pace than the first 12 months which end ed in April. The bulletin calls attention to a number one problem of the national debt and its fi nancing. It also cites a num ber one bright spot the high incomes of the nation's fam ily groups where purchasing power has risen despite the L k mm at 1 dollar depreciation. Two things that have been worrying some investors steel labor and inventory ac cumulation are 1 explained in terms of a favorable nature, especially the latter. Dip Possible Without Strike "Judging from past experi ence, says the bulletin, "a steel strike of several weeks' duration would bring a mild drop in total industrial pro duction. A dip could also oc cur without a strike, resulting from temporary cutbacks in steel orders and output." Noting that a high and ris ing ratio of inventories to sales is a danger signal, the bank finds the present rela tionship is just the opposite. ' Sales have been climbing faster than stocks on hand," says the bulletin, "so that the inventory-sales ratio has fall en to the lowest figure in sev eral years." ' . Cleveland Trust adds a few more plus signs continued rise in personal income, strong consumer demand stimulated by increased borrowing on in stallment, revival in automo bile sales and production, and expectations of a record year for the construction industry. The bank measures the rise and fall of output in the pre ceding three periods of re- CONGRATULATING 81-year-old Miss Anna Locklin, Vice President Richard M. Nixon smiles as Nevada's Lt Gov.

Rureal Reflections: Bird watching is an admirable oc cupation, and it is sometimes interesting to watch the bird watchers. The Webb house hold, with bird houses in view of the kitchen, has been a bit uDset by the anguish of the blue birds when the swallows wouldn't share houses with them. So many bird houses were added to make room for all, but the dive bombing of the swallows continued, and Mrs. Webb was so in trigued with watching the out come that she was five mm utes late for school one morn insr. The blue birds were driv en away, and the same pro cedure is reDorted at the Lyle Hard home, where the front yard area is dotted with small houses which the blue friends never are able to claim.

Recovery from the de cline of 1923-24 went on for 32 months; for the o n e of 1948-49, 45 months, and 1953 54, for 36 months. Increases in these from the highs to the lows amounted to 33 per cent, 46 per cent, and 18 per cent respectively. Purchasing Power Up The bank reveals that aver age annual income of Ameri can families before federal in come tax was $6,220 in 1958, against $4,130 in 1947 on the basis of a Commerce Depart ment survey. While improve ment has been partly nulified by higher prices, it finds, it is still evident in terms of real purchasing power, a fac tor seen in the financial dis trict as a number one aid to further business recover. Adding the textile industry to the list of those that have made good recoveries from the recession bottom of a lit tle more than a year ago, just about makes the uptrend un animous, and hence favorable marketwise. The unfavorable develop ment noted government bonds shows how the hold ing of banks have risen while that of non-bank investors has declined.
