The American republics now are deeply involved in every phase of world affairs. President Kennedy has ac cepted the invitation of Jose A. Mora, secretary of the Or ganization of American States (OAS), to address the OAS $1 Church Organ Turns Out To Be A Costly Bargain Topeka, Kan. - (UPB - Bob Wilcox is the type of shop per who can't pass up a bar gain, even a $2,500 pipe church organ selling for only 51- :' ' That's the deal Wilcox made when he stopped by the Grace Episcopal Cathedral here last summer for a white elephant sale. He left the sale $1 poor er, but the owner of the church's organ. But since that time, the be spectacled Topeka salesman - has been beset by a number of unexpected complications and expenses none of them at bargain levels. First of all, he had to hire four moving vans just to transport all the pipes, the one-ton blower and the three keyboard console of the disas sembled organ to his two story garage-barn. Then he discovered the ga rage wasn't built to hold the weight of the massive musical instrument. So he spent, more than $2,000 on renovation, constrtucting new footings, in stalling reinforcement and structural beams for the sec ond floor, and putting in ac coustical wallboard. Hoists Unit After the renovation was completed, he used a block and tackle to hoist the console unit to the second floor of the garage, where the organ will be played. But, even now, Wilcox is a long way from being able to pump up his organ for a neighborhood recital. The pipes, ranging from the size of a pencil to the size of a 23-foot cannon barrel, are scattered throughout the garage. The pipes were mark ed by the manufacturer in order of placement, but Wil cox admits he's still puzzled how to put them together. "It's kind of bad since I don't know much about the organ," he said, explaining that he has had only one year of training at an organ. However, he has enlisted the aid of Max Eisberry, an organ instructor at Washburn University. "He's not teaching me to play it just yet," said Wilcox. "The main thing we're con cerned with is just puting it toeether. Wilcox said he hoped "to have music coming out of it one way or another" by the end of next summer. And even after the expenses incurred by owning the organ, Wilcox still retains his en thusiasm for the "bargain." Council at its annual observ ance of Pan American Day. Prdspects of a major speech were indicated in the Presi dent's reply to Dr. Mora. He said in part: "You may be fully assured that I fully share your conviction that the Organ ization of American States has a vital role to play in assisting the peoples of this hemisphere to realize their just aspirations for progress with freedom." , The implication was that the President will make a major effort to revitalize Pres ident Franklin D. Roosevelt's 'Good Neighbor" policy, first pronounced at the 1933 Pan American Day celebration here.-;: . : (:''.,'. ' . Maximum Expression :- i,. Roosevelt's address always has been considered the maxi mum expression of U. S. good will toward' Latin America and his "Good Neighbor" theme was extremely influen tial in the diplomacy of World War II. . Latin American diplomats speculated that Kennedy's ad dress would be in a similar spirit. They surmised that he would give a firm reassurance to the other American repub lics that U. S. policy would be directed toward increased cooperation through the OAS. The traditional solidarity of the Americas has been dis turbed in recent years by the Castro government's Cuban program, projection of Mos cow's influence into the West ern Hemisphere, and. the ten sion between those republics with dictatorial governments and those wtih "liberal" re gimes. Political unrest in Latin America has been further ag gravated by genuine concern in many countries that their economic development and social progress may not keep pace with their rapidly ex panding population. This, in turn, has directed extraordinary attention to wards United States nolicies and programs. Restore Solidariiy The essential problem of the Kennedy administration will, therefore, be to restore Pan American solidarity, which until recent years was regard ed as the traditional natural course of political evolution within the hemisphere. , In campaign speeches, his inaugural address, and a speech to Congress on Jan. 30, Kennedy indicated the main ideas which would guide him in inter-American rela tions. . The Pan American Day ad dress will give him opportu nity and a recognized forum from which to expound his purposes -in -a balanced and detailed form. r Skin Diving Said To Be Sport of Healthy St. Paul, Minn. -flJPD- Only persons in perfect health with an excellent knowledge o f swimming ' should take part in skin diving. v The Minnesota State Medi. cal Association says the sport could prove dangerous for persons with heart, respira tory or sinus ailments. m 9 1 AH I , BEWARE OF WITATI0HS LOOK f OR THf HAPPY UTTLt DOG TOPS IN QUALITY! LOW IN PRICE Washington (Science Serv ice) - The reason mankind is around today may . well be that early man was not a tasty meal for the wild animals that lived In his day. It is the theory of Dr. L. S. B. Leakey of the Coryndon Memorial museum, Nairobi, Kanya, that early man may have survived because ani mals did not seek him for food. , . Dr. Leakey, who is visiting in the United States, told sci entists he has seen today's wild animals, such as lions, sniff at sleeping humans and then go away without attack ing them. Lions only attack humans when wounded, when they have young and feel threatened, or when they are very old and cannot hunt oth er "game" for food. Dr. Leakey is the discover er of an early man who lived more than 600,000 years ago in East Africa. FARM DWELLERS , About.one of every six ped pie in theU.S. lives on a farm Italy's Auto Industry Continues To Boom Due To Price and Tax Cuts Rome - (DPD - The miracle inside the Italian miracle is taking place. At a time when auto indus tries in many countries of the world are in a state of crisis, Italy's assembly lines are grinding out cars at a record rate. And they are selling briskly. Like all man-made miracles, the automobile boom had a price. It was paid partly by oil men and partly by the state, and everyone agreed that it was worth paying. What made the continued rise in production possible was a series of cuts in, the prices of cars and of gasoline which raised domestic demand for automobiles to an unprece dented level and more than offset a 3.43 per cent fall in exports. - The cuts in the car prices, ranging up to 11 per cent for some makes, were started by Italian companies early last year. Foreign companies fol lowed suit by cutting their prices on the Italian market by similar amounts. The cost of gasoline price reductions was borne partly by the oil Industry - with the state oil monopoly ENI lead ing the way and .the big for eign companies following re luctantly in step - and partly by the state through reduc tions in gasoline taxes. The successive cuts lowered the price of gasoline to 96 lire (15.36 cents) a liter (1.056 quarts) for regular and 106 lire (16.96 cents) for high test gasoline, compared to 142 and 152 lire (22.72 and 24.32 cents) at the time of the Suez crisis in 1958. The price still Is high by international standards be cause of the heavy tax load still left after the cuts. But the successive reductions, cou pled with the lower prices of cars, acted as a powerful stim ulant for domestic demand. Overall production of motor vehicles in the first 11 months of 1960 reached a new record of 600,643, a spectacular in crease of 32.72 per cent over the 452,586 produced in the same period of 1959. ' Sales rose even more brisk ly than production. New ve hicles registered in the first 11 months of 1960, including motorcycles which are not counted in the production statistics, totaled 731,182, an increase of 50.3 per cent over the 473,833 registered In the same period of 1959. Passenger cars made up the bulk of the new registrations, "with a total of 354,968. Motors cycle registrations went up from 180,453 to 294,288, an increase of 63.1 per cent. Registration of trucks in creased 48.4 per cent, from 25,249 to 37,463. In contrast, registration of second-hand vehicles decreas ed by as high as 70.3 per cent for motorcycles. The continued boom of the auto industry, which has set a record each year since the war, except for a brief set back in 1958, played a con- siderable role in the whole of Italy's economic growth. 47 Million Help Fund Campaigns New York - IUPD - More than 47 million Americans volunteered their time and talent to help raise an esti mated $8.2 billion for non profit causes in 1960. In an effort to determine the typical volunteer in this work force of philanthropy, the American Association of Fund-Raising . Counsel, Inc., sent out questionnaires to 1,- 000 known volunteers in all walks of life and in all sec tions of the country. The sur vey showed: -The typical American vol unteer Is : married (89 per cent); has children (88 per cent); and is employed as an executive or in a professional capacity, if a man, by a cor poration or business (37 per cent), is an independent pro fessional such as a lawyer or public relations counselor (27 per cent), or is employed In education, : philanthropy, la hor, or is retired. , -Women, for the most part, are housewives (71.9 per cent), and the remaining are em ployed part or full time as teachers, secretaries or in mis cellaneous jobs. -The typical volunteer de votes 44 days a year to volun teer work with men averaging slightly less as a group (37 days a year). . -The majority reporting worked for their church (78 per cent). Automobile demand kept steel and rubber production high and stimulated various branches of engineering and of the chemical industry. The growing number of cars is directly responsible for the government's current big super highway construc tion program which is expect ed to provide work for thou sands and; give the country's economy a faster pace through better communications. The auto boom may not be eternal - in fact, it is bound to settle down once all those who can afford a car at the new prices will have bought one - but its effects will be beneficial and lasting.
