RETAILERS LOOK FOR EASTER CAINb. 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.
This means that last week's performance was being compared with a week that followed
Easter in 1961. Volume should show marked increases over last year levels. Resident buy
ing offices report that the warmer weather In most parts of the nation brought a surge of re
orders for parade apparel. Coats and suits are leading the rush for reorders and immediate
deliveries, and laminated coats are doing especially well. Blouse business has been excellent,
with special attention given to novelties.

JENSEN ANNOUNCES NEW NAME FOR FIRM. 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.

sion and resulting changes in procedure. He also stated that he felt the industry faced
some very trying times, but were now united closer than ever in their efforts. The meet
ing, held at the Marion Hotel in Salem, was well attended by people in the allied indus
tries as well as broiler growers from a wide area of the state.

The Week in
Los Angeles Mayor, San Jose
Treasurer Make News In Week
By United Prett International
Los Angeles Mayor Samuel
Yorty received some un
expect publicity last week
from Washington, where an
Army public relations officer
accused the mayor of having
a "communist background."
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." Kepler, say
