In fact, said Donald R. Gil- more of the Federal Reserve Board of Boston, an enormous proportion of the hopeful "de velopment'1 boards and associ ations are so sketehily organ ized and skimpily financed they don't have a single full time worker - much less trained industrial or regional planners. In a survey executed for the committee for economic development, Gilmore quizzed 14,000 of these organizations - the fact that there are so many raised his eyebrows -and he got answers from 11, 000. Staffers Lacking "The answers indicated that the 14,000 organizations had fewer than 10.000 staff ers," he said. "Nevertheless, it seems certain they spent at least $220 million in 1057." The survey has taken some time so Gilmore had to set tle on '57 as his base year. Gilmore found that more than half the development or ganizations have been created since 1950. Possibly the re markable success of Gov. Mil noz M a r i n 's development board in revitalizing Puerto Rico inspired some effort, but Gilmore said changing eco nomic conditions forced many communities and even states to take steps to try to lift themselves by their boot straps. But good intentions aren't enough and most of the organ izations, even some of those subsidized by states, are doing a piddling wasteful job, Gil more found. The encouraging thing, he said, is that many have succeeded in getting their feet wet enough to find out how inadequate they are and. how mistaken have been their initial policies based on nothing much but enthusiasm. Toe Much Bit Off The initial mistake is biting off far more than a small or ganization can chew, Gilmore found. "This is particularly true in metropolitan areas where problems of transpor tation, adequate water and sewerage syslcms, industrial zoning, quality of education, living environment and cul ture and recreation all influ ence industrial growth." Often the organizations found they couldn't cope with the simple fact that the gov ernmental boundaries and the natural economic b undaries of their districts were In sharp conflict. This problem can only be solved, Gilmore said, by large well - financed organizations Gilmore said many of the organizations now realize this. He learned enough about their expenditures to discover that the development boards most successful in landing new in dustries for their communities were spending more money now on research than on pro motion. Cooperation Necessary The relatively underdevel oped states, such as "'sis sippi, and states where an old er economy has considcrab'i unemployment, like Pennsyl vania and Rhode Island, are more willing to spend tax money on landing new indus tries than rapidly growing states like Texas and Cali fornia, Gilmore found. He came to the conclusion that under today's changing con ditions, a totally voluntary ef fort to get new industries for a community or slate is much less likely to succeed, no mat ter how well financed, than one in which government par ticipates. And cooperation of the Federal government be comes increasingly necessary. In spite of his sharp criti cism of their naive methods, Gilmore is all in favor of the Arrive Smartly New York-(l!PH-That sudden burst of strength last week may have undermined the in- local development boards and ternal strength of the market associations - even the little at a time when many invest oncs.

Porter Urges Study Of Chiang Policy Walthaham, Mass.-il:PI)-Rep Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.) has urged the United States to "pull the rug out from under Chiang Kai-shek." The Oregon congressman spoke during the taping of Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt's tele vision program, "Prospects of Mankind," Sunday at Bran deis university. Porter, who recently lost a battle with the State De partment for a passport to travel to Red China, said he believed that a reassessment of U. S. policy towards the Nationalist Chinese govern ment on Formosa would lake place no matter who was elected this fall. Newest Slip Covers t) rat JSJ 9318 f SIZES J v Wh-7Vh V.

K. Thurlow of Winslow, Cohu ii Stetson. Now that the rally has pet ered out, a new breaking of the lows could bring about some heavy general selling as nervous optimism turns into outright fear, he says. I Thii, however, could bring back to reality some of the confused notions of value and wild-eyed earnings forecasts Portland Woman Killed in Wreck Reno, Nev.-iUPD-A weekend traffic accident 15 miles northwest of here in Sierra County, Calif., on U.

They said the three injured, all of the same Portland ad dress, were Catherine Grace Gutzley, 39; Harold Gutzler, 13, and David Gutzler, 12. Officers reported the acci dent occurred Saturday when Mrs. Gutzler, the driver, lost control of the car, sending it over a bank. She was the most severely injured, they said. that have been current of late, and at the same time bring a worthwhile selliflg climax from which a sustained rally could follow. The main trouble with the stock market, Thurlo w thinks, is that too many inex perienced speculators are trading in and nut with no real notion of what they are doing. A record backlog of S390 million for combustion engi neering should in tune be translated into peak sales and earnings, according to Rey nolds & Co. The upturn should start later this year and continue at least through 1981 and 1962. Meanwhile the stock has declined some 35 per cent 'om its 1959 high, of 38' 2 and in Reynolds' opin ion, is attractive both for in come and long term gain.
