Rocky Calls for Economic
Program; Lists 5 Points
Albany, N.Y.-IUPD-Gov. Nel
son A. 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.

Anti-Billboard
Measure Backed
By Sweetland
Portland - (UPD - State Sen.
Monroe Sweetland (D-Milwau-kic)
Friday announced his
support of an anti-billboard
initiative sponsored by the

land, candidate for secretary
of state, said he hopes the pe
tition now being circulated

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.
Expected to meet with Al
mond to "reconcile differen
ces, if any" regarding John
son for the presidential nom
ination, are Govs. John Pat
terson of Alabama, Orval E.
Faubus of Arkansas, Leroy
Collins of Florida, S. Ernest
Vandivcr of Georgia, Luther
H. Hoges of North Carolina
Ernest F. Hoilings of South
Carolina, Buford Ellington of
Tennessee, Price Daniel of
Texas and possible J. Howard
Edmundson of Oklahoma.
Governor James H. Davis
of Louisiana sent word he
would not attend this year's
Governors' conference. 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. William F.
Quinn's arrval was uncertan
because he has been hosting
President Eisenhower, who
stopped for a rest in Hawaii
en route home from his far
Eastern goodwill tour.
The Governors and their of
ficial parties began arriving
Friday by air, automobile and
train. Those who arrived by
air landed at a special strip
prepared at Babb, a Blackfoot
Indian village just outside the
park. Planes, even helicopters
except on emergency are not
permitted to land in the park.
The bulk of the governors
and their parties arrived Sat
urday. In all, the conference jam
med more than 800 persons
into hotels and motels sur
rounding the alpine area. The
governors and their official
parties accounted for 415 per
sons. Despite the remoteness, 73
newspapers, news agencies,
radio and television networks
have assigned representaties
to the conference. Telephone
company crews have been
working nearly a year to pro
vide adequate communications
facilities from the park.
The conference chairman,
Gov. J. Caleb Boigs of Dela
ware, arrived early to confer
with host state Gov. J. Hugo
Aronson of Montana on last
minute details.
Gov. G. Mennen Williams
of Michigan will preside at
the first general session on
Monday, which will be a dis
cussion of "education a reap
praisal at all levels." The
panel for the education topic
is composed of Dr. Alvin C.
Eurich, vice president of the
fund for the advancement of
education, and Dr. Llloyd S.

Legislator
Raps Proposed
Welfare Law
Portland - (UPD - Rep. 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.
