Predictions are for a new record in truck sales, says Business Week. For 12 years the industry has failed to match the 1,142,307 units (excluding exports) sold in 1950. 11 came close last year when sales reached 1,068,725. In fuel, 1962 marked the first time since 1951 that sales topped the one million mark. This year, truck manufacturers are hoping for new records. A General Motors official predicts 1.2 million unit sales in calendar 1963, and the rate of dealer deliveries seems to support this optim istic forecast. From January through April, deliver ies ran to 395,700 according to industry estimates. This was 18 ahead of the first four months of 1962. ; -T- J.' front lir W5--- about it, Don INFLATION PAYS WITH SPARE TIRE.

Walter Nor- blad, disagree on one con troversial part of the admin istration's om nibus civil rights , bill which would prohibit busi nesses from discriminating against Ne groes. While he was in Washing ton conferring with President Kennedy and other governors on the serious crisis which faces the country in rising Negro demands for equal treatment In all areas of life, Hatfield urged Congressional Republicans, whose support s essential to the passage of any bill, to back Kennedy's entire civil rights program. President Kennedy request ed federal laws to: Guarantee equal access to public accommodations such as hotels, motels, restaurants and stores and authorize the government to bring suit to protect this right. Allow the attorney general la file suit to desegregate pub lic schools and colleges. Permit the federal govern ment to withhold financial as sistance to any program or activity where there is racial discrimination. Establish a Community Re lations Service to help ease local racial tensions and solve local racial disputes. Strengthen the President's Committee on Equal Employ ment Opportunity by giving it a statutory basis. Protect the Negroes' right to vote. In addition to his civil rights bill, Mr. Kennedy renewed re quests for a number of other related legislative proposals, such as his education and tax bills which he said would im prove the Negroes' lot, and called for various Job training and vocational-education pro grams. Norblnd said he would sup port all of the President's rec ommendation's except 1 that section having to do with pri vate property rights - telling a businessman whom he should serve. "I think he has a right to serve whoever he wants to -white, yellow, black, any body," said Norblad. The bill will be thoroughly debated before the year is over. Republican leaders in both House and Senate indi cate this "public accommoda tion'' part of the bill is un acceptable to them, and Re publican votes In the Senate are necessary to curb an ex pected southern filibuster. Both Hatfield and Norblad are concerned about possible Negro demonstrations in the nation's capital, particularly Capitol Hill, this summer while Congress Is wrestling with its collective conscience. A march of 100.000 has been threatened by Negro leaders In New York. This kind of Intimidation Norblad said would have a very bad effect on Congress. "I would resent it," he said, "I think a lot of people who are more or less neutral on the issue like I am would re sent it " Hatfield expressed concern that "extremists" would get control of the Negro move ment, not show enough re straint, and. If their demands were not met fast enough would continue to "take to the streets" In protest Instead of the courts. He thought this breakdown in law and order was danger ous for the country and for Norblad Disagree Access Proposal the Negro cause. He is con cerned with the antagonism it creates between the white and colored races. "I agree with the right of petition," Hatfield said, "but the long-range effort requires responsible leadership on both sides. I don't think the present mob action and violence is do ing any good. . "This is good (demonstra tions) for immediate need, but in my opinion it docs precious little good for racial harmony, unless it becomes the founda tion core for legislative ac tion in which the Individual has recourse through the Pearl Watson Home in Central Point Is Sold The Pearl Watson home for the elderly, 155 South First St., Central Point, has been purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Harold D. Strever. Strever holds bachelor of arts degrees from Walla Wal la, Wash., college and from Pacific Union college in Cali fornia. He has served 27 years as a minister in the Seventh-day Adventist church and has taken special medical study at the David Livingston, Medical center in London.

At pres ent they will continue to op erate under the Pearl Watson name, but plan to adopt the name the Gold Age Nursing home later. courts and not through the streets . . ." Hatfield thinks the Negroes need economic advancement as much as anything to assure their place in society and that the key to economic advance ment is education. This is why he supports that part of the President's bill to concentrate on- vocational skills which are needed in a society increasing ly dominated by complicated machines. Less than one-half of the non-white population of this country has finished high school. This proportion of the unskilled increases every year, while the actual number of unskilled jobs decreases every year as automation spreads. The explosive potential in the major cities in the United States of a burgeoning Negro population, uneducated and unskilled and jobless is con cerning the politician and cit izen alike. NOTICE!.
