VA Has No Plans to
Close Domiciliary
Rumors that possible clci
ure o the White City Veter
ans Administration Domicil
iary was being considered by
the VA have been investigat
ed by Sen. Wayne Morse (D
Ore.), who has been given as
surance that no such plan is
claiming the attention of the
office of Administration of
Veterans Affairs.
Senator Morse, quoting J. S.
Gleason Jr., administrator,
noted:
"First let me assure you that
we have no plan to close the
domiciliary at White City. We
are, however, currently en
gaged in an overall study of
our domiciliary system. In
cluded in this study is the
testing a new concept of care
aimed toward the restoration
of domiciliary members and
hospital patients to commun
ity living. Until the results of
this study are known and an
alyzed, long range plans for
our domiciliaries are being
held in abeyance."

Sticky Tape High In World Usage
Chicago - IUPI) - Poets say
love makes the world go
'round. . '
But an industrialist says
sticky tape holds the world to
gether. Robert J. Leander, a man
who makes his living in ad
hesives, says the burgeoning
tape business has long since
grown out of the confines of
the home. .
"A large part of the tape
business today really is out of
this world," he said in an in
terview. He cited use of exotic
tapes on the satellite launch
ing pads at Cape Ganaveral
as one example.
Withstanding short - term
heat of up to five-thousand de
grees, the tape rides along
with missiles and jet aircraft.
Down to earth, the sticky
tapes have found a myriad of
applications up to and includ
ing patching and holding to
gether a cracked auto wind
shield. Leander, president of Mys
tik Adhesive Products Inc., de
scribed how development of
tapes for the military leads to
better tapes for use on the
homefront.
During World War II, for
example, the tape engineer
came up with a cloth-backed
waterproof tape to protect
military hardware against the
elements.
The tapes, postwar, were
put to multiple use in homes.
More recently, tape scien
tists have successfully utilized
such test-tube products as my
lar, telflon and plastics to pro
duce space age tapes capable
of withstanding both high
and low temperature ex
tremes. In time, he predicted, these,
too, will find a purpose on the
homefront.

Business Recovery
In Roseburg Said
Surprisingly Fast
Eugene An Insurance
study of the 1959 Roseburg
explosives truck blast indi
cates business recovery from
the effects of the blast was
surprisingly fast, and that a
little more than $5,000,000
was paid to insurance claim
ants in the blast area.
The study, entitled "Risk
Management In a Catastro
phe," was prepared by the
University of Oregon bureau
of business research.
It is the second of two
studies published by the bu
reau and financed by the
Small Business administra
tion in a nationwide series of
management research re
ports. The first study was an
analysis of the adequacy of
insurance programs carried
by small retailers in Oregon.
lit. ureena Makes Study
ine Koseburg study was
made by Dr. Mark R. Greene,
professor of insurance and
head of the department of
marketing and industrial
management In the univer
sity's school of business ad
ministration. Project director
was Dr. Wesley C. Ballaine,
director of the bureau of
business research.
Copies of the report are
available for reference at any
Small Business administration
office, or may be purchased
for $1 from the bureau of
business research, University
oi uregon, JCugene.
The study shows that about
9 per cent of the fair market
value of the property in Rose
burg was destroyed bv the
blast which occurred when a
parked truck carrying 13,000
pounds of explosives was
heated by a nearby fire and
exploded. Seven city blocks
were leveled and 28 others
were severely damaged.
Well Protected
Most business firms were
well protected by insurance
and the recoveries from their
policies undoubtedly were
mainly responsible for the
smootn economic recovery
demonstrated in the area, the
study concludes.
The study adds, however.
that in specific instances un
insured losses caused consid
erable hardship.
Economic indicators of
business activity in Roseburg,
such as employment, bank
debits, buying income, and
bank deposits, showed no
significant change which
could be traced to the blast.
Over half of all loss claims
paid were $1,000 or less, and
more than 80 per cent were
less than $5,000. About 10
per cent of the total number
of claims represented unin
sured claims or claims in
sured for inadequate limits.
Although most of those in
sured appeared satisfied with
loss adjustment procedures,
there were some disagree
ments over proper deductions
for depreciation, property ap
praisals, and repair estimates.
Settled Within Month
Nearly half of the claims
were settled within one
month, and about 90 per cent
were settled within 120 day?.
ihe study reports that most
of those insured were satis
fied with the role played by
their agents, but that it seems
evident that agents play more
of a minor role in cases of loss
settlement than is commonly
supposed as most of the bur
den is carried out by adjust
ing personnel.
After the blast actions were
taken by a significant propor
tion of those insured to cor
rect errors in insurance and
risk management procedures.
Many increased their limits of
coverage, or bought coverage
previously rejected, and some
rebuilt with better types of
construction.

Of Four Hairpieces
Chicago - (UPD - A wigmak
er told an American Medical

of his customers, a young

toupee that he ordered an
entire set for different occa

The man bought a crew cut
hair piece for everyday wear,
slightly dissheveled style for
outdoor activities, a well
groomed, somewhat longer
hatred model for formal eve
ing wear, and a fourth toupee
which he never wears. The
fourth hair piece is neatly

Redden Asks M' Bain
To Reconsider Vote
Representative James A.
Redden, Jackson county Dem
ocrat, has asked Don McBain
(D-Multnomah) to reconsider
his vote which helped table
House Joint Resolution 11
which called for an investi
gation of the public utility
commission.
The vote to table the mat
ter was 5 to 4 in the House
committee on commerce and
utilities.
Redden seeks to have the
appropriation for the desired
interim committee cut from
$100,000 to $20,000, which is
McBain's objection to the resolution.
