West Cost Asks
Reconsideration
Of CAB Decision
Seattle (UPD-West Coast Air
lines has petitioned the Civil
Aeronautics Hoard to recon
sider "two basic proposals"
denied by the CAB in the re
cently concluded Pacific
Northwest local service case.
The airline again requested
permission to operate new
routes between Boise, Idaho
and San Francisco-Oakland
via Winnemucca and Reno,
Nev., and Sacramento, Calif.;
and between Klamath Falls,
Ore. and Reno.
West Coast officials ' said
there was a "substantial am
ount of traffic" between
points north and east of Boise
requiring one-carrier service
via the Boise gateway to the
San Francisco - Oakland area
with intermediate stops at Re
no and Sacramento.
In addition to Boise, the
company listed the following
stops on West Coast's present
routes as requiring such serv
ices: Pullman, Wash., and
Moscow, Idaho; Lewiston, Ida-
fto, and Clarkston, Wash.;
Walla Walla and the Tri-Cit-
ies area of Washington; the
Burley-Rupert area in Idaho;
Twin Falls, Idaho; and Baker,
La Grande and the Ontario
Payette areas in Oregon.

Nearly 1214 Million Persons
Said To Own American Industry
y i
By ELMER C. WALZER
UPI Financial Editor
New York-fllPB-The revolu
tion has come, says Keith Fun
ston, president of the New
York Stock
Exchange, in
a n n o u ncing
that nearly
12Vfc m i 1 lion
persons own
American In
dustry. Funston
calls it . "a
quiet econom-
Elmer Waher ic revolution
that is reshaping America."
The New York Stock Ex
change surveyed the nation
and found that there are 12,
490,000 stockholders, nearly
double the 6,490,000 reported
for 1952 and 45 per cent high
er than the 1956 count of 8
630,000. '
This giant total-one out of
every eight adults in the nation-was
an overwhelming
surprise to the stock exchange,
to its president, and to Wall
Street in general.
Up to the time the. report
was issued the financial dis
trict talked in terms of 10,
000,000 stockholders owning
the nation's business. And the
talk was not stressed because
everyone tnougnt it was an
exaggeration.
The actual total floored the
skeptics and cheered those
who want our industry widely
owned as a bulwark of capital
ism to combat Soviet and oth
er socialism where there is
one stockholder-the state.
These people who own the
nation's business common
stockholders are the owners
of the corporations-also have
other investments.' Eighty-one
per cent have life insurance,
80 per cent have savings ac
counts, 68 per cent own their
own homes, 59 per cent have
U.S. government bonds, and
37 per cent are in pension
funds, the survey found.
More than two-thirds of the
group own the $300 billion
worth of common stocks listed
on the New York "Stock Ex
change. This total alone, says
the survey, is nearly equal to
the entire share-owning pop
ulation in 1956.
An additional 2,700,000 peo
ple own shares traded only
on other exchanges or over
the counter. And 1,230,000 in
dividuals own only investment
company shares of wmch
there are some $15 billion
outstanding .
The top five cities in total
share ownership are listed as
New York, Chicago,' St. Louis,
Pittsburgh and Washington,
D.C.
Rat of Growth Doubted
The rate of growth has more
than doubled the half million
yearly average growth from
1952 to 1956. If this process
continues, the stockholder tot
al could reach 20,000,000 by
1962. . ., -
Such a jump would bring
problems. There wouldn't be
enough common stock to go
around unless some stockhold
ers now frozen in by capital
gains taxes would unload part
of their holdings, or corpora
tions would see fit to issue
stock instead of bonds.
. The-bullish angle of this
ownership total is that the
shareholders seem to be in
vestors and not speculators.
They aren't going to be fright
ened into dumping stock each
time the market has a small
decline.

Holes Appeared in Dead Fish;
Answer: Gastric Juice
It probably was a coinci
dence; it could hardly have
been anything else, but when
the telephone rang I was doc
toring the forefinger of my
left hand. It was feeling right
peculiar. '
I had cut down a papaya
plant and the thin, milky
juice xf the stem and leaves
had. run over my hand and
entered an abrasion in the
skin. The entire finger was
feeling slightly numb and it
tingled. By touching the' in
jury with the fingers of my
other hand, the cut and the
area around it felt soft and
irritated.
I remembered that the juice
of the papaya contains on en
zyme known as papain, which
acts as a digestive fluid. I
also recalled that natives in
countries where this fruit is
raised always wear heavy
gloves when handling the
green fruit. This papain is
pretty potent stuff; nearly the
same as the gastic juice that
is contained in the stomachs
of animals.
Phone Call ,
Watching my finger I pick
ed up the telephone with my
other hand. A lady asked if
I would come out to see some
fish who were undergoing
radical changes in structure
right before her very eyes. I
drove over. ' The fish were
small. She had brought them
back from the beach in a
glass jar of water and several
had died. She had removed
the dead ones and laid them
on a board.
Then right before her eyes
holes began to appear in the
sides of the dead fish. The
holes grew larger as she
watched; they grew in size un
til; the opening went clear
through the body.
There's a very good reason
for the perforation holes to
occur suddenly in the side of
a dead fish. The hole appears
first on the underside, fol
lowed shortly by another on
the upper side; these rapidly
expand in size. The fish are
being eaten by acid; acid from
the- stomach, usually called
gastic juice.
The juice is powerful stuff;
it can dissolve a steel fish
hook. It tears flesh apart, al-
monst instantly and reduces
it to almost a liquid. As death
occurred in the little fish the
DUMB AS A GOOSE?
Milwaukee (UPD The Rev.
George Bersch of St.x John's
Episcopal , church tells this
story: His brother, Ernest won
a goose in a raffle but, unable
to summon the courage to
chop its head off, chloro
formed it. He plucked it and
left the nude bird on the
kitchen tablew hile he left for
an errand. When he came
back the bird had revived
and was sitting on a radiator
trying to keep warm.

flesh which is not alive, be
gan to digest the flesh of the

peared.
All Have It
Gastic juice, present in the
stomachs of all living animals,
is a combination of hydro
chloric acid and pepsin, along
with a few other minor fluids,
so powerful that it digests
meat. The juice of the papaya
plant that entered by cut fing
er, also contains an enzyme
called pepsin, or papain,
which also, has the power to
digest flesh, or soften tissue,
ine juice on my nana was
acting the same as the gastric
juice inside the body of the
fish. Of course no hole would
have appeared in my finger-
from the action, but there is a
slight feeling of numbness that
occurs. '
. . . y
In the tissues of the papaya,
or in the alimentary canal of
an animal, this pepsin takes
care of the process known as
digestion. Gastric juice, a clear
transparent liquid with a salty
taste is manufactured in copi
ous amounts and dumped into
the stomach and the alimen
tary canal. Although you don't
hear much about this canal,
it is about a million times
more important than the Pan
ama Canal and the Erie Canal
put together.

To you Outdoor Chefs (and regular Indoor Cookers, too) here's a rip to
remember whenever you cook hamburgers: Ground beef stays fitoist '
right through copking, never crumbles, when you add'beUer-bUndu
Morning Milk. f ' ?
While ground beef mixtures made with ordinary milk often becom dry
and crumbly, the same mixtures made with Morning Milk remain move
and juicy, whether grilled, broiled, pan fried or baked as a meat loaf. O
The reason? Morning Milk has special blending qualities qpc fotnd
in any other form of milk.
