(UPD A J Houston firm has designed I and put into production an all- teel portable service station which already has attracted considerable attention in gaso- line marketing circles. rm ' . . .. j . me ponaoie station, pro- auced by the A-l Pump & t Tank Co., was hailed bj- its developer as the answer to competition and cost problems in retail gasoline marketing. - J. M. Tajan, co-owner of the firm, said the price o$ the . portable station is about I $6,000, compared with the $30,000 to $40,000 usually spent to built a seisice sta ; tion. ; The entire unjj, he said, can be installed in aout two -hour. Moreover, if the site . turns out to be Unprofitable, the station can Quickly be moved elsewhere. ; The mam se&ii of the 8- ., by-1 6-foot station congsts of a rest room, two doors for ; access to either end of the service island, and space for ' the storage of oils, batteries and accessories. 1 However, it does not in- elude the gasoline storage' - tank, which runs about $500 f extra for a 5,000 gaon tank.

UPI Correspondent Moscow (CPD - Some of the "secret rooms" of the Krem lin, closed to the public since they were built centuries ago, have been opened to the press. "And this is where Lenin lived and worked . . . and here the czarinas entertained their guests," said the guide in a The Kremlin! It's very name to westerners sounds of mys tery and intrigue, a frighten ing citadel behind whose me dieval walls rulers from Ivan the Terrible to Stalin moved in shadow. But today in the "new" Russia you can buy ice cream and postcards at the Kremlin gate. Opened to the public five years ago after the death of Stalin, it's become a grade A tourist attraction.

Many of the rooms are nev er open to tourists, but the well, a calendar opened to the other day correspondents were given a rare tour of them. The Russians made a virtual shrine out of the rooms where Lenin lived and worked, in the building where Khrush chev holds press conferences. Lenin's apartment and office are just as he left them.

WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York-flJPD-If you think as does chairman Khrushchev that the Soviet will overtake the United States shortly in its economic growth, let a little child lead you out of that delusion. Dr. Colin G. Clark, director of research of the Economeric Institute, told the little girl story to the Senate-House Eco nomic Committee to illustrate the Russian situation. Milch of the concern about attempting to increase the rate of growth of the U.S real national product has arisen because of the sup posed rate of growth of the real product of Soviet Russia of 6 per cent a year or more." he said. This figure, or even figures as high as or 9 per cent a year are frequently quoted by public officials and by uni versity professors who should know better. "At such rates of growth, they go on to say, it will only require a comparatively short period of time before the real product of the Soviet Union overtakes that of the U.S.A." Scanty Evidence Dr. Clark went on to point out that evidence of Soviet growth is not only scanty, but also subject to the multitudin ous distortions of statistics practiced by Soviet spokes men. Most of the figures, he said, are based upon the experi ence of the immediate post war years when the Russian economy was being restored after its wartime devastation. "It is natural that at such a time, the rate' of growth- should be, for a few years, above normal." . There you have the back ground. The Soviet making a high percentage recovery after the war mess. That high percent age then is projected to the future and thus you have a big push that certainly on paper would seem to surpass us in no time. Now for the story of the little child. There was a little child who was very ill. It had lost weight to mere skin and bones. The doctor found the cause of illness and treat ed the child properly. The re covery was remarkable. The child gained weight at a fast clip. Thereupon, the doctor plot ted a graph of the child's weight growth, and projected it into the future. Would Overtake Father - And, - what do you know, the doctor found in his pro lection that the child in a year's time would weigh more than its father. A doctor who worked that way, said Dr. Clark, would be regarded as unfitted to practice medicine.

Mrs. F.F. - I haven't the spirit. ' Bill F.-I am 17 and have a younger sister and brother. My problem Is my dad, who is running around with another woman. This thing has been going on for about two years and everyone in town Knows about it. I have even seen him with this woman when I've gone out on dates with my girl. I felt like killing him. ; I have been trying to get my mother to leave him, but she has no gumption at all. Next year I'll be out of high school and Til be able to sup port her. I asked a lawyer and he told me Dad would have to pay for the younger kids. I can't see any sense in putting up with a guy like that. . Mrs. F. F. -1 know I should leave Fred, but it's true I have no gumption. It's all his fault. He ground my spirit into dust when he was un faithful to me after the first nine months of our marriage. My only consolation is that Bill will never be anything like his father. He is very considerate of me and he just detests his father for his hor rible behavior. The way I feel about it is there is.no sense in leaving Fred now after I have put up with him for all these years. I know him and I know that he'll soon tire of the other woman and will come back to me - until the next time. The Council: It isn't always easy to determine where the blame for a marriage failure started, but we would say that at the present moment Mrs. F. F. and her husband are about equally at fault. Adultery is certainly a car dinal sin, but from the human point of view there are other sins too. Mrs. F. F. is committing quite a few of them when she works on her son's pity to tie him to her in an ugly bond based on hatred for the man who is his father. For better or for worse we are all identified to some de gree with our parents. When one parent turns a child against the other, he or she may enjoy a moment of vin dictive triumph, but in the long run the child suffers. He feels the "bad" parent is in him in some way. He hates at least half of himself, and oddly enough, it often turns out that he imitates the very qualities ' he detests in the "bad" parent. We don't doubt that Mrs in her marriage. It is natural for her to feel some bitterness and self-pity. But the brakes must be put on such feelings. At one point or- another she I must become aware that she I is not a mere victim of fate. The possibility for creating something better out of her life lies within her. No outsider should tell Mrs. F. F. what course to follow. The most important thing for her is to make a choice for herself. Her declaration of lack of spirit is , sheer self- pity. When she decides to give up wasting emotion on herself, she will find that she has both spirit and common I sense. She might have found j the way out of her dilemma long ago if she had called on j these resources. As for Bill, we would advise him to keep out of his parents' personal business as much as possible. He should remem ber that he is not in the best position to make judgments and he should be aware that even the worst sinners can have qualities worthy of re spect and love. (Copyright 1959. General Features Corp.) Hearings Slated On Train Speeds Salem (UPD - Four hearings involving train speed and rail safety devices in several Ore gon cities have been set by the Public Utility Commission. Oct. 20 at Condon the PUC will hold a hearing on train speeds on the Union Pacific through Wasco, Moro, Grass Valley, Condon, Arlington, lone, Lexington and Heppner. Oct. 27 at Salem hearing will be held on the application of Southern Pacific to put in automatic signals in Indepen dence. Oct. 29 at Madras the PUC will hear an application- from Oregon Trunk Railway Com pany to operate automatic signals at Culver. A fourth hearing will . be held Nov. 3 at Springfield on an SP application for protec tive devices in Springfield. F- has endured hardships ' tern, Instruments Used To Monitor Water Supply Philadelphia -(UPD Because water distilled from the sea sometimes loses the alkalinity that gives it taste, sensitive instruments are being used to monitor the water supply on the island of Aruba off South America. When the alkalinity level drops too low, according to Leeds St Northrup Co., which made the instruments, they ! automatically signal a valve tot and get away with it and economics still is a com partively u n s o p h isticated branch of knowledge. By similar reasoning we could prove that Germany, Japan, and other war-devast-ed countries would also, in a comparatively short period of time, overtake the U.S.A." Dr. Clark who has done some deep studying of the Soviet economy, puts its rate of growth of real product per man at only 1.2 per cent a year for the period 1913-1956. Starting with 1939 the figure is better at 1.6 per cent, but this is far below ours of 2.3 per cent a year. He also finds that the Unit ed States beats Russia in pop ulation growth the' Soviet at 1.5 per cent a year and the U.S. at 1.7 per cent a year. The National Education As sociation says that 83 per cent of the colleges and universi ties in the United States have trouble finding qualified sci ence teachers. ace rooms as barracks and sta bles, we were told. "Lenin thought they had been kept in very poor condition and he ordered them restored.' When Khrushchev reopened tne Kremlin, the restoration work was continued and still isn't finished. One of the royal family's private chapels (there are "six or seven" in the pal ace, tne guide thought) was used as a store room for 6io long the Kremlin landlords forgot it was there. To reach that newly "dis covered" treasure we filed down long narrow high-ceil' ing corridors, down twisting narrow stairs with carved stone steps. At the end was a gem of a little chapel, its walls iuu.uuua turcica wiufc re ligious murais. Icons, or religious paintings, many studded with jewels, cover the walls of some of the other family chapels. In an other the doors are overlaid with blackened (oxidized) sil ver beaten into religious fres coes. Steam radiators and elec tric light switches look outof place in the exquisite sittiag room where the noble Boyars, in their long beards and flow ing robes, used to wait for an audience with the czar. Signs of New Order Now and then you see feigns of the new order. A huga painting in one elegant recep tion room shows Lenin talking to a group of eager, excited Russians. The huge gold-and-white ballroom now is th scene of Kremlin reception and adjoining is a new if ing where the Supreme Sotit meets. '."' " " r In one cold, dark hallway in tlie unused czars' , apart ments I found half a dozen thrones, one marked Nicholas I, standing lonely and aban doned. Above the kingsize chairsthrough a little window you could see workmen scur rying in a huge pit while ma- hiis scooped out dirt.' They're building a new hall in the Kremlin for Communist party congresses. "It will seat 6000 people." the guide said enthusiastically. "Our present congress hall holds only 2500 and we need a bigger one."
