With Easter here, retailem are confident that their jhowing was a good one in terms of the cash register and physical volume as well as vis ually. Sales did not do so well as they miRht when the figures are compared with those of a year ago, but the comparison is affected by the three week disparity in the date of Easter.

Effec tive March 27, 1962 the stockholders approved at their third annual meeting a new name for Insurance Company of America. The company will be called ICOA Life Insurance Company. The new name was necessitated by difficulty the company has had expanding to other states after its organi zation just two years ago. The company's applications in sev eral western states had been challenged on the grounds of an alleged similarity of names. Due to the rapid growth of the new company and ICOA's desire to continue this growth throughout the western states, the new name was adopted as the most expedient method of resolving the difficulty. The new name was announced by Harold A. Jensen, vice president and secretary of ICOA Life Insurance Company, from the new home office building located in Salem, Ore. PEOPLE ON THE MOVE. Some 34 million American"! change their addresses each year, reportt Relet Management magazine. Over the latt 13 years, the U.' S. mobility rate averaged 19.6 per cent, fluctuating in that period from 18.6 per cent to 21.0 per cent. But if the average percentage figure remains somewhat the same, as the population continues to grow, the actual number of rov ers also grows. By 1970. U. S. population is expected to reach 208 million, which means that, given the lame percentage of mobility, there will be tome 40 million movers. The thift to the tuburbt gave rise to a whole group of marketing developments-shopping centers and dis count houtet. The urban population increased from 96.8 million in 1950 to 125.3 million in 1960, while the rural population decreased from 54.6 million to 54.1 million. And advance figures from the magazine's 1962 Survey of Buying Power shows the urban population at 129 million as of January 1, 1962. MERRILL APPOINTED OREGON FRYER MANAGER.

Within hours after Maj. Arch E. Roberts made the statement in an off-the-cuff speech to the Daughters of t h e American Revolution, Yorty denied the charge and the Army suspended Roberts. In making his denial, Yor ty said that "such a loose charge" actually aided sub versives. Roberts, an aide to former Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker, who was removed from his command in Ger many for trying to influence his troops' votes in federal elections, had submitted his original speech to the Army for approval and was refused. From Accusation Yorty said that Roberts' charges stemmed from an ac cusation made in 1938 by Arthur James Kent, while Kent was in jail on a burglary charge. "This allegation is a complete fabrication, originat ed by a convicted burglar and placed in the house Un American Activities Commit, tee record by an irresponsible congressman," Yorty said. The city of San Jose also had one of is officials in the news, but under much differ ent circumstances. He was city treasurer Robert D. Cal lison, 61, who confessed to stealing between $80,000 and $80,000 in parking meter revenues during the past 10 years. "It was ridiculously easy," Callison said. Turning from city to state affairs, Secretary of State Frank M. Jordan announced that Californians will choose from among 642 candidates for 142 state offices in the June 5 primary election. Jor dan, himself a candidate for reelection, said the official ballots would include 381 Democrats and 289 Republi cans. Breaking down the list by another form of affiliation, there were 648 men and 22 women. On National Level Moving to the national le vel, attempts were made in San Francisco and Washing ton to break the logjam of ships in Paciic ports because of the West Coast Maritime strike. Federal Judge George B. Harris, who ordered the Taft Hartley 80-day cooling off period, issued orders clearing the way for departure of nu merous vessels still tied up in the dispute. The Taft-Hartley injunction had failed to get operations going again be cause seamen refused to sign on for more than the 80-day period. In Washington, the chair man of the House Merchant Marine Committee asked Con gress to exfend the railway labor act to the maritime in dustry to cope with shipping strikes. Elsewhere, there were these developments: Cohen: A superior court judge in Los Angeles cleared Mickey Cohen and three co defendants of murder-conspiracy charges in the death of Jack (The Enforcer) Whalen. Judge Lewis Drucker ruled there was insufficient evi dence to warrant re-trial of the dapper ex-gambler, Roger Leonard. George Perry and Joe DcCarlo. Drucker took no action in the case of a fifth defendant. Sam Frank Lo Cigno, who was convicted once of murder in the 1959 slaying of Whalen but had the decision reversed by the State Supreme court. The trial of Cohen and the four other de fendants ended in a hung jury two weeks ago. Taxes: A couple from Bur- j ney in Shasta county quoted the Nuremberg War Crimes trial verdict to explain why they refused to pay 60 per cent of their federal income tax In a letter to the Inter nal Revenue Service, Mr. and Mrs Roy C. Kepler pointed to Nuremberg judgments holding that "every person has the duty lo refuse to par ticipate in crimes against hu manity ... on both moral and legal grounds."
