Rockefeller said Sat urday the United Slates has been trailing other countries In the rate of economic growth and called for a five-point "pay-as-you-go" program to put the nation back in the lead. Rockefeller Issued a state ment on economic growth ap parently in reply to a speech by Vice President Richard M. Nixon in St. Louis last Tues day outlining the program he would follow If ho were elect ed president. The New York governor, who has said he was available for a Republican presidential draft, recently challenged Nix on to speak up on the key issues of the day. Nixon re plied by inviting Rockefeller to debate the issues on tele vision. This Rockefeller de clined to do. In his speech, Nixon scorn ed the "growthmanshlp" pol icies of Americans who fear the United States can be sur passed economically in this country. Rockefeller's statement said that while the U.S. still is the most powerful country eco nomically, Its growth rate Is not what it should be. Japan, he said, has Invested more than 25 per cent of its fiross national product In its economy, pushing its growth rate to almost 8.5 per cent a year. West Germany, invest ing at a rate of about 20.5 per cent, has Increased its growth rate to 8 per cent, while the Soviet Union, with a 25 per cent investment rate. has been m:iint-ining a 6 per cent growth rale. United States investment rate is 16 per cent and the postwar growth rate has av eraged close lo 4 per cent, Rockefeller said. The Central Intelligence agency has forecast that So viet production will grow 80 per cent In the next decade, lie said, while U.S. production will rise 45 per cent under presently-projected levels of growth In the same period. Italy, Franco, tile Nether lands and Canada also have achieved higher growth rates than the United States by In vesting at a higher rate, Rockefeller said. "This is of direct concern lo every American wage-earner, every businessman, every individual whose personal welfare is affected by the strength of the American eco nomy," Rockefeller said. "For it is clear that other nations are catching up with our In dustrial strength by moving to large-scale production in many fields, by providing new and modern and automat ed machinery and technology through investing at a faster rate than we are. "If they can match our man hour productivity at lower wage scales, it is obvious that we shall not remain competi tive in world markets while retaining our, much higher wage differentials." Rockefeller said the basic element in solving the Ameri can problem is to increase the percentage of gross na tional product invested in new plant and equipment. He call ed for the following specific program: Provide Incentives to in vestors by adjusting the tax structure, particularly to pro vide more liberal and flex ible depreciation allowances realistically geared to the ef ficient life of plant and equip ment. Curb inflation and reces sions through enlightened fis cal and monetary programs. Work toward eliminating featherbeddlug of all types, both in labor practices and many forms of business sub sidy that artificially perpetu ate Inefficient p r o d u c lion. More efficient use of labor and production facilities are needed. Reorient the farm pro gram to more useful and ef ficient production through help to low-income fanners in finding better opportunities. -Eliminate racial discrim ination to get rid of its growth-retarding waste of the skills of a large part of the population.

Monroe Sweetland (D-Milwau-kic) Friday announced his support of an anti-billboard initiative sponsored by the Highway Protection Commit tee of Oregon.

RUTHERFORD Chiropractor MOVED To 346 SOUTH HOLLY Phone SP 2-9738 Glacier National Park, Mont. lUPlt Quiet picturesque Many Glacier hotel became a na tional focal point Saturday as the nation's governors pre pared to open their annual conference virtually on the eve of the two political con ventions. The conference's first piece of political maneuvering will take place over breakfast this morning when southern gov ernors meet to firm up sup port for Sen. Lyndon John son of Texas as the Demo cratic presidential nominee. Gov. J. Lindsay Almond of Virginia, who announced the meeting, promised it would have "considerable political significance." Almond was the first gov ernor from the south to ar rive for the conference, which will open today in the ramb ling, chalet style structure wilh a majestic backdrop of some of the nation's most spec tacular mountain peaks.

Daniel planned to make a one-day departure from the conference Monday to travel the 225 miles to the state capitol of Helena, where Johnson will be among the three top con tenders attending the Mon tana Democratic party con vention. The convention In Helena, at which Sens. John F. Ken nedy of Massachusetts and Stuart Symington of Missouri also will speak, could well snatch the spotlight away from the governors for at least one day. Of the governors planning to attend the conference, only one, New York's Nelson Rockefeller, is a remote pos sibility for a presidential nom ination. Nevertheless, the elec tion year conference took on political significance because most of the governors will head, and many will control, their state's delegation to the national nominating conven tions. A late cancellation was re ceived from Gov. David L. Lawrence of Pennsylvania, who will head one of the big gest delegations. He was un able to attend because of a legislative session. Hawaii Gov.

Caleb Boigs of Dela ware, arrived early to confer with host state Gov. J. Hugo Aronson of Montana on last minute details. Gov. G.

Grace Peck (D-Multnomah) attacked a proposed measure that would permit the Oregon Welfare commission to con trol sale of welfare recipients' property, before sending it to an interim committee, Friday. Mrs. Peck, chairman of the Interim committee on wel fare, called the legislation a "foolish and backward step." "People don't want to sign anything like a lien. And this is just opening the door of a lien law, she said. Commissioner Joseph Har vey Jr. said the purpose of the proposal is to prevent fraudu lent disposal of property. Basically, the proposal per mits filing of notices that an owner of real property is re ceiving welfare aid. No sale of that property could be made without welfare com mission approval.
