12 A FRIDAY. JUNG 8. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Your Money's Worth By SYLVIA PORTER Copyright, HaN Syndicate, Inc. PRESIDENT MUST ACT TO REASSURE BUSINESS At its low on the day following Black Monday, May 28, In Wall Street, Transitron was down 85 per cent from its 1961-62 hieh. Lionel was down 80 per cent, General Instru ment and Avnet were down over 78 per cent, Brunswick, Chris Craft and Vendo were down 72 to 73 per cent and TelAutograph was down 71 per cent. Behind these shockers came. another list of stocks, including such famous names as Polaroid and Texas Instruments, which were off from 52 to 67 Der cent. After them came a third list, dominated by such greats as National Cash Register, International Business Ma chines and Zenith, which were off 40 to 45 per cent. A sensible observer simply cannot blame a crackup of such violence on President Kennedy's crushing of the steel price increase and the spreading fears since then that the administration is anti-business! Only the hysterically biased could find a basis for lumping such individual stock debacles into what already is slated to go into the history books under the title "The Kennedy Crash." Primarily responsible for the collapse of these glamour stocks was the plain fact that in 1981 they ware bid up to Incredibly unrealistic prices by greedy speculators confi. dent there always would be one more sucker left to bail them out when they sold. The entire market was pushed lo such fantastically overpriced levels In late 1981 that, months ago, hard-headed pros at home and abroad began unloading, moving Into tax-exempt bonds, U.S. Govern ment securities, cash in the bank. Long before Kennedy's attack on the steel price hike, It was no secret in Informed circles that the major Inflation of post-World War II was dead and that buying stocks at over inflated levels in anticipation of further inflation was stupid. Long ago the hot-hot glamor issues started to get cold under the increasing pressure of the Securities & Exchange Com mission's investigation, the knowledge that the SEC's probe would uncover appalling instances of unethical actions as well as Illegal manipulation in the sale of new stock issues to the oublic. This is the real, unemotional tale of the now utterly un- glamorized glamor stocks. Nevertheless, the straight fact also is that the way Ken nedy intervened in the steel crisis and the massiveness of his intervention intensified the stock price decline. It is obvious to any one who will hear and read that there has been a mounting uneasiness among responsible business men about the long-term implications of Kennedy's act. No person who understands what has made the United States sc powerful and prosperous a nation can afford to shrug off the Imperative need for clarification of the Kennedy administra tion's relationships with the business communitynow. When a man of Henry Ford's background as an inde pendent warns, "I fear that the enormous power that can be mustered by determined and resourceful president might be used increasingly to impose informal, but none theless direct, controls on the legitimate actions of business and, possibly, of labor" - it is lime for Kennedy to think through what he can do to allay that fear. When even economists who are staunchly liberal Demo crats pleaded with the President to recongize that American industry is in a rising profits squeeze and something must be done to ease the squeeze, it is time for the President to call in these economists and ask what can be done to ease the squeeze. When, almost to a man, businessmen unite to urge Con gress to reject a bill the administration has designed to give them tax relief, it is time for Kennedy to figure out ways he can retreat gracefully, compromise and lay the basis for the sort of tax relief that will be welcomed. Of course, the President isn't "anti business"! He has made it abundantly clear that he wants to be remembered as a President who led the United States to new heights of might, prosperity and greatness, not one who undermined it by inviting an era of vicious conflict between government and business. - ' . Words of reassurance to the business community aren't enough in view of the extent of today's misunderstandings and fears. There are plenty of things the President can do and the time to do them is now. They'll Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo .

Court of Appeals ruled Thurs day that a union can organize a secondary boycott against the products of an employer against whom It is striking, provided it is peaceful and does not hinder commerce. The court made the ruling in a 3-0 decision, the first of its kind under a 1050 amend ment to the Taft-Hartley Act. The case involved Team sters Local 760 in Yakima, Wash., and Joint Council No. 28. The union went on strike against Tree Fruits. Inc. It then organized a consumer boycott of the fruit oulside Safeway Stores In Seattle. The National Labor Rela tions Board, on the complaint of Tree Fruits, ruled the Teamsters engaged In an un fair labor practice. The court said there Is noth ing to show the union violated the law against coercive pick eting. It said the board wrong ly held that all consumer picketing at the premises of a secondard employer is for bidden. The court sent the case back to the board to determine if there is any evidence of coer cion against Safeway. , The Retarded Child I get so many sad letters from people, letters that tug at my heart because they tell me of a re tarded child who naturally p r e s ents a great problem. As I often say, most of these unhappy par ents keep traveling around the country from doctor to doctor or clinic to clinic spending more money than they can afford, or spending money which really ought to be used for the edu cation of their highly intelli gent children. Unfortunately, most of us doctors haven't the heart to tell these people that no one; anywhere, knows how to build up a brain that has not de veloped properly. Usually all that anyone can do is to teach the child to do everything he can do with what ability he has. Usually, I think it is much kinder to toll the par ents the truth, and to say that if we knew of anyone in the world who could help them, we would send them to him. I wish everyone who has to face this terrible problem could read the wonderful book by the eminent writer, Mrs. Pearl Buck, "The Child Who Did Not Grow Up" (John Day, Publishers). Mrs. Buck tells how she was allowed to go from physician to phy sician until, finally, a kindly children's specialist told her the truth. One thing I like lo tell these people is that they mustn't blame themselves for what happened. So often they are full of guilt, which is com pletely unjustified. There nothing the parents did that caused the illness, and there is nothing that they could have done to save the child In thousands of cases, the child was abnormal from the moment of conception, and hence nothing that happened during the pregnancy was significant. Asioeiation Holpi Parents Today there is an associa tion, the purpose of which is to help parents with retarded Consultant In Mayo clinic Pr:i(eBiur of Mayo clinic (Register and Trlhuna ! 1962) children. This is the National Association for Retarded Chil dren, with offices at 388 Park ave. South, New York 18, N.Y. There are also a number of books which can greatly help the mother who is perhaps out on a lonely ranch or farm, and who cannot afford to send her child to an expensive school. Another point that I often make when people with a re tarded child are debating whether r not to put him in a spfcial school, is that in such a place, the child is like ly to be much happier. Why? Because when a retarded child is playing with children of normal intelligence, he is con stantly being made unhappy because he cannot compete with others. They will not accept him. Perhaps when the boys divide up to play baseball, neither team will accept them, and this hurts. When he is put with only retarded children, he is much happier because he can compete with them and be accepted by them.

Irrigators Warned About Power Lines Metal pipes' will conduct electricity as readily as power lines, a Pacific Power and Light company rural service specialist warns in the com pany's annual reminder that irrigator should use caution when moving long lengths of pipe during the irrigation sea son. Lee Hansen, PP and L's ru ral service supervisor, said the practice of upending irriga tion pipes 'o remove sand and silt can be extremely danger ous in the vicinity of power lines. "All farmers and employees should make a mental note of the location of all power lines in the vicinity before moving any pipe or mobile sprinkler system equipment and should always be alert to avoid any contact with the electric lines," Hansen said. BAT KILLS BOY Hopewell, Va. - rtJPIi - Mar tin Lewis Nault, 9, died Thurs day when he was struck in the head by a bat which slip ped from the hands of a fel low fourth grader during a baseball game on the last day of school. Pickin' Pears Newt and Notes From Camp White By SID HOLLINGSWORTH A significant movement in an age of catastrophe is under way in the enlargement of the Civil Defense program. It is called medical self-help and goes beyond the elementary first aid training. The Veterans administra tion has started training its employees in medical self-help and is furthering the program throughout the nation at VA field stations, it is announced. The course was developed by the Public Health Service and is approved by the Amer ican Medical association, the Red Cross and other agencies. In contrast to first aid, which provides information on what to-do until the doctor comes, the medical self help course gives training in what to do when no doctors are available. The engineering division has started to install about 600 new screens in the win dows of domiciliary buildings which have not been replaced before. The screens were made at the station by a mem ber detail who volunteered to do this work. They have been on the job since December, and 400 screens have been completed. George Butts, an expert cabinet maker, has been in charge of the project. He says the 600 will be completed be fore July, when he plans to leave. The other members who have worked continuously on the project are M. G. Newton, M. Dowton, George Henry, E. H. Clayburn, Les Tirmin and Nels Johanson. "This has been the best and most helpful undertaking the engineering division has ac complished in the interests of the program of rehabilita tion," Burt Sims, engineering officer, declared. Chuck Ice, labor foreman in the engineering division, is in Portland VA hospital this week where he is under going surgery for a leg injury, arising from an aggravated war wound. Although the VAVS discon tinues its entertainment pro gram during July and August, a number of activities will be carried on as usual by volun teers, and special events, in cluding sightseeing tours and picnics. The June picnic schedule started with one held Monday evening in the picnic area near the stadium, sponsored by the VFW auxiliary. The 50 Plus members will picnic at the station on the ISth. On Sunday, June 17, the Blue Star Mothers will give their annual chicken dinner at Grants Pass. Then two more picnics at home will be held on the 19th and 20th, with the Woman's Relief Corps and the Legion auxiliary sponsors. The recreation department has worked out a schedule of bus tours, seven of them to Crater Lake during July and August. The American Gold Star Mothers sponsor summer tours and their schedule calls for trips to Jacksonville, Grants Pass and Crater Lake. The Blue Star Mothers, Grants Pass, American Legion auxiliary, Ashland, Military Order of Lady Bugs and the VFW auxiliary also will spon sor Crater Lake trips. The VFW has one on order for June 28 to Squaw lake. The bus tours will start June 13, and continue through the summer, the last one scheduled Sept. 26 to Oregon Caves, sponsored by the VFW auxiliary. The American Red Cross, headed by Marie Rehling, the American Legion auxiliary, with Polly Offutt in charge, and the VFW auxiliary, Fran ces Zundel, chairman, will continue to maintain offices in the post office building for special attention to the needs of domiciliary members through the summer months. The present gray lady staff of the Red Cross consists of Mrs. Jennie Creager, Mrs. H. A. Ditsworth, Mrs. Mamie Bloomfield, Mrs. Fred Rehl ing, Mrs. Roy Stanley, Mrs. Ralph Barnes, Mrs. A. Wat tenberg, Mrs. Minnie Zahnow, Mrs. Ernest Rippon, Mrs. B. J.

Harllee Branch Jr., presi dent of Southern Company, said he appeared before a Senate Appropriations sub committee as a representative of the U.S. Chamber of Com merce in opposition to the Bonneville Power administra tion request. He termed the proposal to spend $500,000 for the extra high voltage transmission line an "entering wedge" for the construction of a federal interregional power grid which might cost up to $342 million. Branch said it represented "unwarranted competition" by the government with pri vate power companies. He said the latter were willing to build an interconnection be tween the two regions. Concern Voiced in Home Foreclosures Washington -IUP11- The gov ernment for the first time of ficially expressed concern to-i day over "the rising number' of home foreclosures." The census bureau said that, "prompted by the con cern," it would make a six-, city survey of recently fore-, closed mortgages to find out-, why homeowners could not keep up payments. ,. Last year's foreclosures, were nearly 22,000 above H 1960. It was the highest total since 1940. " In 1961, according to gov ernment figures, mortgages were foreclosed on 73,074 non- farm properties. Most were)'; private houses. IUI u YOU WERE THERE? You can be! Money for all or any part of your vaca tion. Example: $100 costs only $6.05 in 3 monthly payments of $35.35 each.
