Individuals Will Determine Future Business Trends "The future of America and business is going to be lie termined by individual citi zens who seriously ponder the question: 'What kind of Amer ica do I want?' " So maintained Robert W. Jackson, San Francisco, in a talk before Medford Kiwanis club yesterday at its noon luncheon meeting. Jackson is western region manager of public relations for General Electric company. There is so little under standing of what prosperous business means to a commu nity, Jackson said in address ing Kiwanians at Rogue Val ley Country club. He spoke of public apathy and complacency in business men and said that it affects the entire business climate. Jackson brought out the need for honest grass roots politi cal action on the part of every responsible citizen. Misunderstanding The speaker pointed to great misunderstanding of the conflicts of interest.

Jackson remarked that people should understand their own enlightened self-interest. "Look closely at the great problems of our times - indus trial strife, inflation, social istic political experiments, communist imperialism - and you'll find the people involv ed are confused and ignorant of exactly how those prob lems relate to their own self- interest," Jackson said. On the issues of industrial strife he spoke of common interests which should inspire cooperation. Jackson reviewed the issues of competition, prof its, employees pay, automa tion, inflation and big taxes and big government. "Competition-If a business can't compete, what is there for employees or investors. In their own self-interest, em ployees should insist that man agement do everything neces sary to protect jobs by elimi nating inefficiency and waste. Profitable Companies "Profits - Profitable com panies are the ones with ex panding, secure and better paid employment. "Pay - Almost 70 cents out of every dollar in the national income represents pay and benefits for workers. It cer tainly is to nobody's advan tage if pay is so high that it threatens the survival of the business because it can't meet competition. "Automation - Any compa ny that doesn't take advan tage of technical progress as fast as it should will soon wither away, and that, of course, means no jobs. Our huge population gains means workers must have the tools and incentive to produce far more efficiently in order to maintain and increase our standard of living. Wage Increases "Inflation-If wage increas es exceed productivity in creases, inflation and the de struction of values are inevi table." The idea of business paying all the taxes is a false one, Jackson told Kiwanians. "Only people pay taxes," he pointed out. He mentioned the "soak the rich" ideas put forth by politicians as a lot of baloney." Business collects the taxes and passes them on to the consumer as higher prices, Jackson said. The speaker called for en lightened, intelligent self-interest and declared that the businessman must consider the common interest, includ ing the employee and the con sumer. Jackson deplored "the something for nothing" atti tude, college students looking for soft jobs, the tendency to look to the government as the great provider and the shift of responsibility from the state to the federal govern ment. He charged that "the socialists, demagogues and welfare boys are running away" with the good qualities of America. 'Killing the Goose' By undermining business, "worst of all we are killing the goose that is laying gold en eggs," Jackson empha sized. Jackson called upon busi nessmen to speak out loudly and clearly on the value of productivity and sales and on how social issues affect em ployees and the community at large. He told of the need to present economic facts to off-balance other propaganda and of the need to communi cate with employees and elect ed representatives of the peo ple. Need for widespread public dispersion of factual knowl edge and the methods of rea son is seen by Jackson, who maintains that there is no substitute for sound educa tion and a lot of serious study In order that citizens may un derstand their self-interests. Reorganization Committee Argues Salem - (UPD - The Gover nor's Advisory committee on govern m e n t reorganization departed from its agenda Thursday and fell Into a de bate on whether a cabinet form of government could get through the Legislature. Several members, including former Gov. Robert D. Holmes, said they doubted it. Senate President Walter Pearson (D Portland) dis agreed with Holmes, saying the committee "might as well go all the way, because there will be a tremendous amount of opposition anyway." The committee then pro ceeded with reorganization tonic.

Vincent G. - She shouldn't be responsible for creating a family feud. Rita G. - I am a mature woman and I have always prided myself on my ability to get along well with every one. Therefore, it's terribly upsetting to be unable to get along with my own sister-in-law. My brother recently mar- died after having been a bach elor until 38. I was delighted to see him married and was prepared to welcome his wife with open arms. His wife, Stella, is a Euro pean who has only been here about a year. I wanted to do everything possible to help her adjust to American life. I tried to show her how Amer ican women dress and how they fix their homes. I tried to draw her into a nice circle of young married women and show her how to entertain. To my complete surprise, she resented all this and told my brother I was annoying her. I no longer want to see her, but my husband says I'm wrong. Vincent G. - I can't see the sense of making a family Dr. Pauling Sees That Views Are Made Public By LILLIAN LEVY Washington (Science Serv ice) - Dr. Linus C. Pauling, who has attacked the secrecy of Congressional ex ecutive hearings, made sure that his views on nuclear testing and disarmament heard in executive session by the Senate Internal Secur ity Subcommittee would be made public. The 1954 Nobel Price Win ner, an outspoken advocate of worldwide nuclear disarma ment, told Science Service. "The only way of increasing our security in the United States is by means of carefully formulated agreements lead ing to world disarmament." Dr. Pauling warned that de lay in reaching such agree ment increases our chances "of being destroyed along with the Russians. Dr. Pauling indicated his complete willingness to tell his views to the subcommit tee, but he has asked commit tee vice-chairman Sen. Thom as J. Dodd (D-Conn.) that his testimony be presented in open session. The world-famous chemist noted that Sen. Dodd recent ly spoke against present ne gotiations at Geneva aimed at an East-West agreement on nuclear disarmament. "Ap parently," said Dr. Pauling, 'Sen. Dodd is against our government's policy. It may be that in issuing a subpoena to me, the commit tee is trying to suppress peo ple like myself who strongly and openly support our gov ernment's efforts at Geneva." The scientist said he hopes the subcommittee will consid er the consequences of Red China soon becoming a nu clear power. 'I said last year that I thought Red China was close to becoming an atomic power, that she has the ability to be gin nuclear testing by 1961. If we do nothing to include Red China in disarmament ne gotiations before she explodes the bomb, he predicted, "ne gotiations leading to an agree ment will be more difficult. We had better begin to be sen sible or we will cease to exist." The subpoena, issued by subcommittee chairman, Sen. James O. Eastland (D-Miss), asked Dr. Pauling to testify on Communist efforts and propaganda against nuclear testing. feud over this. I know Rita and I know she's going to be miserable for years over a thing like this. She is at tached to her brother and will miss him if she doesn't see him - and she can't see him and Ignore his wife. I also feci that Rita is silly to let a young girl like Stella upset her. Stella is in her mid 20's, but she's very childish. Just the fact that she went crying to her husband that Rita was bothering her proves what a youngster she is. She is irresponsible. I have been trying to per suade Rita to be big about this thing and go to Stella and apologize for any offense. Aft er all, Rita is the more mature and sensible one and shouldn t be responsible for creating a split in the family. The Council: In general, Vincent is on the right track. Undoubtedly Rita meant well and is therefore taken aback at having offended, but she should recognize that she is a bit insensitive to the feel ings of others. Stella must have shown in small ways that she was not responding to the help her sister-in-law poured upon her, but Rita was so en grossed in what she wanted to do she didn t even notice anything was amiss until Stel la brought things to a head. Rita also fails to put her self to the test of placing her self in her sister-in-law's posi tion. Although Stella is a Eu ropean, she undoubtedly feels she has some understanding of dress, home management, entertainment, as well as so cial skill. These are points of feminine pride. As far as Stella is concern ed, Rita has been trying to teach her how to be a woman. She feels she has learned this from her own mother and doesn't want another older woman to place her in a sub ordinate position by treating her like a child all over again. Should Rita apologize? We don't think this is necessary or desirable. The offense was too subtle to require apolo gies. She would do better to simply let the whole thing blow over and bear in mind that few people like to be patronized - even for the sake of vaiuame aavice. (Copyright 1960, General Features Corp.)
