Milnes, along with Jim Busch, Ashland, is touring Europe by car and has agreed to visit Alba on be half of Medford and send back information regarding that city. Milnes will be a senior at Willamette univer sity this fall. By GREG MILNES Alba, Italy-Here is the first In a series of reports dealing with Alba, Italy. I will try to list subjects as I have them on my question sheet pre pared in Medford. Radio Stations - None here In Alba, but they (Alba) are covered by stations in Turino. 40 miles to the north. The ra- ' ff r1-TT"" .If ?v ed here but do accept adver tising for a fee just ascjn Med ford. There is also a national tax on dios and TV sets in the home. TV Stations-None In Alba but coverage (comes) from Turino, a city of some 700,000 people. This, too, is state owned with advertising al lowed and taxes on sets in the home. I noted a great many TV antennas here in Alba. Ap parently the quality of pro grams and transmission is very good. Italy is one of the leaders in the movement towards a Euro pean network of stations link ed by micro-wave. The televi sion stations here have been running a series of programs dealing with the history of the the Olympics and also in formation about the athletes who will compete in Rome this year. Parochial Schools - None In Alba. All schools are run by the government which would be like our system in Med ford. There are three or four Catholic kindergartens, but no church schools. For Infor mation on education write: Sandra Gillio, Via Coppa No. 2, Alba, Italy. She is our in terpreter and the English teacher in what would cor respond to our high school. Colleges-There are none in Alba but very fine schools in Turino and Milan. There is one Catholic seminary here. Many students from Alba go to college. Mayor-Osvaldo Cagnasso, a man of 65 or so. He is very dynamic and active-a widow er with six children, all grown.

Greg Milnes, who visited Alba this summer as Medford's official representative to its sister city, toured this building and said Alba's equivalent to Medford's city council holds weekly public meetings there. Alba's city government is comprised of two houses (The Municipal council and the Judicia council) and a mayor. The Municipal council is com prised of 30 elected members who choose the mayor and also pick six men to serve on the Judicia council. The Municipal coun cil proposes legislation and the Judicia coun cil ratifies it. PLAN NEW BUILDING New York -IUPD- Plans have been announced for a $3.5 million building, two blocks from the United Nations Building, to serve as a new national headquarters for the Protestant Episcopal church in the United States. The build ing will be 12 to 14 stories high. Wall Street Chatter New York - (UPD - The elec trical equipment industry is now in a cyclical decline with large inventories, weak prod uct prices and slimmer profit margins, according to the Value Line Investment Sur vey. The survey says that al though recent production cut backs are expected to rectify the inventory glut by the year - end, overall economic prospects do not suggest that 1961 will usher in improved demand for consumer ... dur ables. 0V UNITED. . .

Reynolds & Co. comments on the effect that the rise of the American male compact car may have on steel. Esti mates indicate, it says, that the average amount of steel required in all cars produced in the U.S. this year will be 86 tons. This is less than the 1.90 tons per car in 1957 and 1.95 in 1958 but still com pares favorably with the aver- ge for the preceding two years - 1.83 in 1955 and 1.85 in 1956. Bache & Co. reports that both Corn Products and Pen- ick & Ford continue to display outstanding market action and further short terms gains seem likely. Bache also suggests Windsor Industries only for trading accounts willing to as sume a high degree of spec ulative risk. DCS and 76b JETS T UNITED food stuffs firm. His job as mayor is a full-time job. He is a very respected man by all and it is said he has changed the city into a progressive community. The city is still dependent on agriculture (wine, truf fles, grain, corn) but also they now some some industry (pa per, vermouth, textiles, choc olate, biscuits, etc.). City Government Structure -Mayor-council type-no city manager. (They have a) 30 member lower house elected by the people from party rep resentatives. There are three Communists here but they are not able to gain much power and are not too verbose or troublesome. They are a social and economic type of Commu- nistfjiid not sympathetic with the Soviet Union. These 30 members select a mayor although the people can bring a great deal of pres sure to bear here. This group (the municipal council) chooses six men to serve on the upper house or Judicia council. The 30 members pro pose legislation and the six approve it. Meetings are held weekly and public. They meet, in a very old council chamber' with a similar physical set up as Medford-wlth a public gal lery. (Mayor John Snider has re ceived a letter from Richard Oakland, director of town af filiations in Washington, D.C., in which Oakland assesses the Alba political situation. Oak land says: ' the entire area surrounding Alba has been predominantly Christian Dem ocratic for some time. In the 1953 elections, 5,000 votes were cast in Alba for the Christian Democratic party. The next largest party was the Monarchist which receiv ed 1,000 votes and the rest of the votes were split among the various other parties with none receiving more than a hundred.") Newspapers - They have a weekly printed here in Alba by Catholic priests called "Gassette d'Alba." They also have a Cuneo province page in the large daily from Turin, "Gasette del People." I will find out more later and send additional reports. OfficersSfefflfd!
