Pa n American Day Could Ma rk
Milestone in Latin Relations
Washington - (DPD - Pan
American Day, April 14, may
become a milestone in the
evolution of inter-American
relations, with potential sig
nificance to the entire world.
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

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.

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.
