Newspaper Page TextIn The. Day's lews B.r FBAN'K JENKINS Russian building experts who , are prescutly touring the United States spent this morning t a housing development in the Bos ton suburb of Braintree. Thev were fascinated by an electric oven built into the wall at eye level to make things easier for the housewife. They gathered around the gadg et and Oli'd and Ah'd and pointed and talked and admired. It was obviously as strange to them as a man from Mars would be if he showed up unexpectedly In the middle of an American Mam street. Tuis Is the point: The wall oven idea was thoueht up by son.e American lree enter priser who wanted a new selling point for HIS OVEN, so that he could sell more ovens than his conipetitor. a Nobody would ever have thought up such a thing in Russia. Vhv not? In Russia all the ovens are the GOVERNMENT S ovens. You talce 'em or leave 'em. The govern, ment doesn't HAVE to think up new selling points for Its ovens because it has all the ovens there are. If you don't like its ovens you Just DO WITHOUT an oven. That's the difference between so cialism and free enterprise. Incidental information: Tne census bureau says the fast est increasing segments of Amer p lea's population are children, old er people and non-whites. It adds that the number of women contin ues to grow faster than the num ber of men. (In the olden golden davs there were about S9.4 men for each 100 women. There are now. according to the census bureau's statisti cians, about 98.5 men for each 100 women.) Why children are Increasing Is' perfectly simple. More babies are being born. Older people are in creasing because npnnU liu nnn er in these days. Non-whites are Increasing because pn the aver age thoy have larger families than whites. Why are women Increasing? It may be Divine Providence. The men have made a mess of a lot of thinss. More women may be the answer. Speaking of population: A Sacramento dispatch says Cal ifornia's population is mounting w rapidly that the state's statisti cians are having trouble keeping up with their own predictions. The California department of fi nance has taken another look at prospects for I960. The report says the outlook is for 14 million resi. dents five years hence as com pared with the prediction of U million made last year. At the same time, figures for ifi5 were upped from 15A mil' lion to more than 16 million. What does that add up to? It adds, up toithls-'.

Knight said today he intends to head California's dele gation to the 19j6 Republican Na tional Convention even if it means nn open fight with Vice President Richard M. Nixon. He relieratcd that if President Eisenhower, his first choice, doesn't run, he will seek control of the state's important bloc oi votes himself as a favorite son and only nominal candidate. Knight, in an interview marking the start of his third year in office, made no attempt to hide his cool ness toward Nixon.

California voters select conven tion delegates of both parties in a presidential primary election. The delegates must be pledged to a candidate uno has given his writ ten consent. Asked If a Nixon ticket would affect his plans for a Knight pledged delegation, the governor replied, "Not In the slightest." "We are going all the way re gardless of what Mr. Nixon does," he said, firmly. Knight 'asiced the California delegation second onlv. with 10 .votes, to New York's M in 1952 would be vital to Nixon's presi dential hopes but. he sa.d: "The Republicans of California will want to be represented by a completely independent delegation devoted to the Republican partv and not to the ambitions oi any one man."

Neuberger has contended that the bill was written by private power companies and that it would provide these companies with flvei billion dollars worth of power for their 273 million dollar investment. He contradicted Coon's statement lhat the dam could sell power for 2.5 mills and he said higher rates would "choke off Oregon's chances for new payrolls.
