FULL SPEED AHEAD FOR TRUCK SALES.
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. ;

By YVONNE FRANKLIN
Mail Tribune
Washington Bureau
Washington - Two key Ore
gon Republicans, Gov. Mark
Hatfield and Rep. 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,

Pearl Watson Home in

Second Degree Murder

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.
