OCTOBER 23, 1963 A 5 SOC Faculty Opens Room in Honor of Dr. Arthur Taylor ASHLAND - The social science faculty of Southern Ore gon college has created a social science room in Myrtle wood hall in the memory of the late Dr. Arthur S. Taylor, for many years chairman of the division. The new college facility will be used for holding semi nars in history, political science, sociology, geography, and eco-: nomics. Its select library ot textbooks in these fields will be open to use on the premises by faculty members and students. A prized feature of the room is a carved oak table seating 12, a gift of Miss Mary Hanley of Jacksonville. At least 60 years old, the table has been in recent years on a ranch near Mt. Mc Loughlin, and was a gift to Miss Hanley from her father. A search is now on by Dr. Vaughn D. Bornet, chairman of the social science division, for Crescent City Woman Killed By United Press International A 60-year-old woman was killed in a three-vehicle collision on Interstate 5, six miles south of Cottage Grove Tuesday aft ernoon. The victim was Alice Amelia Vanderpool of Crescent City, Calif. Six persons were injured in the accident involving two cars and a pickup truck and were taken to hospitals at Cot tage Grove and Eugene. Henry Smith, a Lostine area rancher, died at a hospital in Enterprise Monday night from injuries suffered when a horse rolled on him Sunday. EUR IN DEMAND NEW YORK (UPD-Apparel manufacturers tool for a sharp rise this year in sales of cos sack hats and fur-trimmed sta dium coats. A new item on the market is a black Russian broadtail dinner jacket priced at $985 to $1,500, plus tax. 12 to 14 oak chairs to match the table. Hanging on the walls of the Taylor room is a large photo graph of its namesake, made by Whitland Locke. Ashland photographer, by a special pro cess from a negative taken only three days before Dr. Taylor's death last summer. Decorating the room are sev eral reproductions of old maps and a series of 20 black and white watercolors of famous scholars who have contributed to Western civilization. Many of the books in the room were once in the personal library of Dr. Taylor; these were purchased from the estate by his former colleagues in the social sciences, and expenses connected with the room also were paid for by them in his memory. Subscriptions to scholarly pub lications and continuing pur chase of books await the con tribution of additional sums which can be sent to Southern Oregon college and marked "Ar thur S. Taylor Social Science Room Fund." Engraved Plaque The engraved brass plaque on the door was designed and etch ed by Henry Carr, Ashland jeweler. An early use of the room has been by the Honors program of SOC and by students having special interest in the social sciences. It is anticipated that a History club, now contem plated, will keep its records in the room and hold meetings there. "A room like this has been a goal of the social science facul ty for some years," Dr. Bornet stated. "We all wish that Art Taylor were here to enjoy it with us. He was at his best in the informal environment which such a room makes possible." Dr. Elmo Stevenson, SOC president, expressed particular pleasure upon receipt of the gift by Miss Hanley and the spirit shown by the faculty members in handling the financing of all improvements to the room.

They have never been higher in history and the whole year of 1W3 looks very good . . ." President Kennedy, press conference, Oct. 10. To the surprise of Kennedy, his chief economic advisers and the overwhelming majority of American businessmen, this is true. This year corporation profits, before and after taxes, are achieving an historic breakthrough to peaks never before touched. While, of course, there are exceptions from industry to industry and corporation to corporation, the overall rise in profits has been steep, has topped just about every prediction made in early 1963. In the second quarter after tax profits smashed all records at an annual rate of S27 billion and first reports indicate the rate in the third quarter was even higher. Most significant, U. S. companies arc not only showing peak profits but are increasing their after-tax profit per dollar of sales as well. At last, the profit squeeze is easing, profit margins are widening. At midyear, manufacturers were earning a net profit per dollar of sales of S cents, up from 4.2 cents in the first quarter and the best profit margin since the big boom of the 1950s. The importance of this favorable trend to all of us as indi viduals and to our entire economy is immense. Record profits and widening profit margins are not only propping our economy now but they also will stimulate It in the nionlhs ahead. The profits will spur corporations to increase their investments in new plants and modern equip ment the sort of spending which is immediately translated into jobs and paychecks. They will help balance the federal budget, for the profits will add to the Treasury's tax take. They will help support the level of the stock market, for many corporations will distribute part of their higher earnings in the form of extra dividends. They will help sustain confidence, for there is nothing like a profit on the books and the solid promise of more profits to come to give a businessman confidence. In themselves, the profit figures are a big-time story. But why the spurt? In this story within a story, there are three forces. The first force is the continuing business expansion. U. S. corporations are selling more, producing more, using up more of their plant capacity. McGraw-Hill estimates that manufac turing companies are now operating at 87 per cent of their capacity against 83 per cent in the first part of 1963 and some are operating at much higher rates. It has been a long time coming but the slack in industry is now disappearing, idle plants are being put back to work. The second force is the comparative stability in labor costs and the lid on costs generally. The average wage in crease this year is running around 7 cents an hour against over 10 cents an hour in the l'J5l)s. Al the same lime, output per man per hour (productivity) has been climbing at the fastest pace since the end of World War II, reflecting the vast totals industry has put into modern machinery. An un published government study indicates that between the second quarter of 1962 and the second quarter of 1963 unit labor costs including fringe benefits actually declined 0.2 per cent against annual increases ranging to over Vi per cent during the 1950s. This, too. has been a long time coming but industry's efforts to get out of the profit squeeze by automating, eliminating waste and resisting maor wage hikes are now paying off. The third force is the relative stability of prices. Alter a prolonged period of weakness, industrial prices are firming again. Prices are not taking off in a new spiral; the index of industrial prices is only at 100.8 against 100 in the base year of 1957-59. But the key point is that prices are holding and many are creep ing up. Add rising demand, controlled costs and firm prices and the result is the bright profit picture of 1963. Now still to come are stimulating tax cuts for individuals and corporations. These will accelerate business spending on more cost-controlling plants, will make U. S. industry more competitive in markets at Home and auroact, will keep profits rising further. Republican Wins In North Dakota BISMARCK, N.D. (UPD-The nation's newest congressman. Republican Mark Andrews, said today his triumph signifies the GOP is on the move across the country. Andrews. 37, a "gentleman farmer" with the backing of Sen. Barry M. Goldwater, de feated Democrat John Hove, an English professor, in a special congressional election Tuesday. "It feels sweet to win," An drews said. He shied away from making a victory state ment until nearly 90 minutes after Hove conceded. Andrews will fill the unex pired term of the late Hjalmer Nygaard. a Republican. Andrews' victory cut off a Democratic surge ot recent years in this traditionally Re publican though Maverick state. It also upset Democratic hopes for a congressional seat they wanted badly. Hove had run with the bios- ing of President Kennedy. Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy and several Democratic senators had campaigned in North Da kota on his behalf. Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF Shareholders of Railroad Contacted Shareholders of the Rock Is land lines railroad in this area are being contacted by Charles J. Christcnsen, district traffic representative, in support of a merger of the Rock Island and Union Pacific. Christensen said the Rock Is land management and members of the board of directors recom mend stockholder approval of the merger, and he is working to help get holders of at least two-thirds of Rock Island's stock to vote (or the merger. A two-thuds majority of the stock is needed to gain stock holder approval at a special meeting in Chicago Nov. 15, Christensen noted. Rock Island officials have in dicated they favor Union Pa cific as a merger partner, "be cause it connects with the Rock Island at a number of locations and delivers substantial tonnage to the Rock Island for ship ment." Christensen said the Chicago and North Western is opposing the Rock Island-Union Pacific merger. Oregon Weather Continues Moist By United Press International Oregon continued to get damp weather today and more is in sight. The Weather Bureau's five day outlook called for one t o three inches of rain in Western Oregon and more than normal precipitation east of the Cas cades. During the 24 hours ending earlv todav Newport had 20", Norih Bend 1.63 and Salem 1 61 inches of rain. Amounts ranged up to nearly half an inch i n some parts of Eastern Oregon. Gale force winds with gusts to 50 miles per hour were lore cast off the coast between Ta tooth and Cape Blanco tonight. Eastern States Remain Parched By United Press International Beautiful Indian summer weather teased the parched Eastern half of the nation to day but heavy rain washed the Pacific Northwest and parts of lexas. Florida's EastCoast was alert. ed to the possibility that hurricane Ginny may throw heavy winds and rain against the state from Daytona Beach southward. Light showers skipped across Illinois and Wisconsin during tnc night, but did little to alle viate the drought which has sparked forest and brush fires from Maine to Arkansas. High temperature marks were broken Tuesday across the Mid west. Burlington, Iowa, peaked al a record high of 85 degrees Springfield, III., also had 85 and Bismark, N.D., had 81. More than 1.25 inches of rain fell al Eureka, Calif. Section of coastal Oregon had more than a half inch and southern Texas had nearly an inch. But for the weary fire-fighters in the East, the rain fell in the wrong places. Massachusetts had 82 new fires yesterday. Other states had fewer, but the situation re mained critical. Brush fires threatened 75 homes in West Caldwell. N.J., before being brought under con trol. Nearly 100 fires continued to burn in New York. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Tuesday ordered a ban on hunting in 10 eastern and northeastern counties hard hit by the drought.

EARLY IN 1936, the late Wendell Willkic, then President of the Commonwealth and Southern Corporation, at tended a convention in Atlanta, Georgia, One of the dele gates told him, ''Remem ber meeting my wife the last time you were here? Well, she's written a novel, and a publisher has accepted it. If it sells enough to earn five thou sand dollars, we are go ing to buy a new house." "Good, for her," en thused Mr. Willkie. "Al though I never have done anything like this before, I'm going to write a let ter over my signature to every stockholder urging him to buy a copy of your wife's book." He was true to his word, and for years thereafter laugh ingly demanded some of the credit for getting the book off to a rousing start. The name of the book was "Gone With the Wind." Arlcne Francis, backstage before a. "What's My Line" broad, cast, was talking about a. man who began hi professional career as a dentist, later became an Internationally renowned brain ur peon.
