At present they are spending 35 ' billion dollars a year for more. Some economists fear that the saturation point may be near. They argue that most folk who need these things have them by now. But economists at the Chase Man ; hattan Bank In New York point out that "The American consumer, when his Income rises, seems to possess an almost limitless capac ity to use II."

This attitude should be encouraged wherever possible, for three reasons: First, the university staf's are generally able to bring a much broader vision to bear on the fun damental problems. Second, where fundamental prob lems are being prosecuted in in dustrial laboratories they have a habit of being st to one side and iorgotten when more urgent work develops. Third, the work given to the educational staffs will be of con slderable value in the education of future scientists to do mere sucj work. On the other hand, applied re search should not be given to the university or college stalls when the Industrial unit Is capable ol performing tills service for itself. Universities do not maintain tne industrial tempo, nor are their staffs In the habit of. nor should Ihey be asked to, work in the con fidential capacity required for suc cessful patent control. Recently we have seen the rise In many of our more technical schoois the idea of a business department (usually called a foundation or research Institute) lor the purpose of suc cessfully overcoming this specific difficulty. It Is hoped that such facilities will olfer the small unit", of Industry a means of solving many of their problems, both fun damental and applied. Pro'nnly no other field holds more and varied promises for suc cessful industrial research than chemistry: success for the investi gator who may satisfy his curios. ty about the unknown with a lair share of honor and wealth; suc cess for Industry which may in crease Its payroll, its output and lis prolits; and success for tne public who will reap the benefits of better health, higher stand ards of living and a safer world m which to live and travel. There are catches to this charm ing picture, and one such catch Is the recent apathy the public has bhown toward raising Its standard of living. It Is discouraging to de velop new things or open the way to better comfort just to have the public yawn and say, "So What. Unless the puolic cooperates and raises Us living standards as rap. idly as industrial research makes It possible, unemployment is the Inevitable result. By this we do not Imply that Hie public go on a wasteful spending binge, ending up as binges do with only a head- acne to snow for its money: hut what Is meant Is for the pub lic to supply Itself with better houses, better radios and refrig erators, air conditioning and sound proofing, better automobiles, tires and gasoline, and the thousand and one useful articles Industrial research Is continually Improving. year on kitchen and household ap pliances and two billion for fur niture. But the bank economists say this doesn't mean that the market for these goods Is drying up. They note that in 1954 two thirds of all refrigerator sales were for re placement. And 83 per cent ol new car buyers traded In an old car. (Economists at the First Nation al City Bank of New York, esti mate there are around six million prewar cars on the roads candi dates for scrapping.) The Chase Manhattan men also point to new fields far from the saturation point: clothes dryers and alrcondltloners are owned by only four percent of our families, and dishwashers by three per cent. The Vacuum Cleaner Manufac turers' Assn. notes today In Cleve land that factory sales of this product are breaking records this fall. In September sales ran 29 per cent higher than the year be fore, and for the first nine months of this year sales topped the like period of 1951 by 23 per cent. The Radto-Elect ronlcs-Tclevislon Manufacturers Assn.'s president. H. Leslie Hoffman, predicts thai eight million TV sets will be turned out this year for a new record. Give Americans more spending money and olfer them new or bel ter gadgets and you'vo got your self a sale. Next To Orcqon Food 2 10? Q BILLBOARD l Came up on a school bus the other day while showing some visi tors around town and was remind ed again tnat it Is easy to forget the regulation about no passing while the bus is unloading or load ing students. Even when the bus is meeting ycu and the children are getting out on the opposite side of the road. A good ruling and one that could, and does, save many lives every year. California has the same regu lation and so docs Arizona. Arizona goes even further and Imposes a lifteen mile an hour speed, within blocks ol any school. Clearer meaning department ; Regarding Uiose school buses, the sign on the rear say 3 It is illegal 10 pass the bus while it is loading or unloading children. All well and good for grade schools, but Judging irom tne size 01 high school stu dents these days it might be a good Idea to change the sign on (he back ol all high school buses to read "w.iile loading or unload ing young men and women." Odd Items of Information are al ways popping up around here. The latest to oe called to my atten tion is the situation about the park ing area for employes down at the court house. In front of each liarking stall Is a little marker stating for whom that space Is re served. And behind each of the markers is a rose bush. When we were down there the other day- using tne constable s spot lor moment e parking we noticed that every ro?e bush was still in bloom except the one in the district at torneys stall. Sorriest hunter on the opening weekend of the pheasant season was no doubt Buster Bramlette. Buster went out with a few friend: for a little shooting and since the weather was so fine he took his top grade Model 12 which he has all fitted out with a special and very beautilul stock. When they re lumed home, all with close to a limit of birds, he found that his lovely stock was busied right through the tang. Savs he doesn't know how it happened, but got the good news from a gunsmith lhat it could be repaired almost as good as new. Speaking of shooting reminds us lhat Hany Obenchaiu shot a big buck the other day that had eight een points, eleven' on one side and seven on the other. The animal had a spread on him that lookeo like a back yard clothes di-ver and the antlers were as big around as baseball bats. Old Harry really knows where the big one3 are and almost never laus to oag a big one. Along thai subject we are re minded ;hat there is a good deal of opposition to the numerous big burk contests that are sponsored each year by various stores and organizations. A lot of people ob ject on the grounds that hunters are looking only for size, not sport, and that they are prone to shoot one buck and then later see s big ger one. so let him down and throw away the first one. Personally 1 think this Is worry ing too much about too little. There mav be Instances of this happening. f overweichttV I rduc easily with LEEN tabletr- I.

The absence of highway advertis ing signs along' that route. And when you think about it you rea lize that it's certainly true. Hardly any big 24-shcet billboards and only handful of smaller advertising signs to mar the beauty of the high country highway. Incidentally, if you haven't made the trip over and back this year now is the time.

Wild-well ex perts who extinguished the blaze Tuesday hoped to tame the well completely by nightfall. The well blew out with a tre mendous roar Monday, caught fire a few hours later, and menaced surrounding homes and stores. CONCRETE CAKE LAKEWOOD, N. J. Ifv-Bouquet or brickbat?

OFFICE SPACE City Center Quit!, Main Street Entrance DREWS Manstore Farm Prices Get Hearing In Iowa DES MOINES (UP) The Senate Agriculture Committee opened hearings on government farm price props In this farm belt capital today with a warning from one of its own members that farmers are "hopelessly divided" over the Issue. Sen. Karl E. Mundt, a Republi can from the farm belt state of South Dakota, added that the com mittee Itself is hopelessly split be tween advocates of the administra tion's flexible farm support pro gram and of the old Democratic program of high, rigid supports, "But there are other answers and' we must find them," Mundt told an audience of Dcs Moines businessmen and Iowa farm lead ers at a dinner Tuesday night. Today's hearing Is the third in a series scheduled by the Senate committee, which plans to write new farm support legislation in January. At Worthington. Minn., Tuesday, the senators heard an exciled audience cheer demands for the removal of Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson and a return to high supports on hogs and other farm products. Low hog prices have also stirred uo farmer unrest in this state, where the newly-organized Nation al Farm Organization has called for Benson's resignation and nsked for a government floor under hog prices. But the administration farm program also has staunch defend ers In Iowa In the leaders of the powerful Farm Bureau Federation. Mundt 's mention of "other an-' swers" to the politically touchy problem of farm income was a reference to his earlier statement that a solution might be found in government land rental payments to farmers. Such payments could keep farm income up and surplus production down, he said. Sen. Edward J. Thye (R-MInn) appealed to his colleagues to leave politics aside and write a new farm blil quickly when Congress reconvenes in January. They, who listened with other committee members to some 100 witnesses In earlier hearings this week at Worthington and St. Paul. Minn., told the dinner audience "we can get exceedingly serious listening to these problems. We mustn t slulf Uiem off as chronic farmer complaints. It's far more serious than that." At Worthington Tuesday, an over flow crowd of 400 farmers and small town businessmen booed a late witness who denounced the senators for bringing their hear ings directly to farmers.

So lar the court has ruled on only pieces of both Issues, so questions involving movie censor- :hiD and segregation no aouoi win be thrown into tne courts ior yeart to come. For example: While the court has ruled public school segregation and segregation on buses crossing state lines is unconstitutional, It has never ruled that segregation cf all kinds is unconstitutional. Somedav. in some future case, the court might rule that way. Be fore then, because ol successive decisions of the court against vari ous phases of segregation, segre gation mav have withered away. Although tne coun nas snaKcu to 'Is foundations the whole con cept of segregation by its ruling against public scnooi segregation. it cannot be said to nave none we same to the principle of state cen- orship of movies. It has given New York and Kan sas setbacks in the way they at tempted to carry out censorship.

Dr. Harold M. Erickson, state health officer, told delegates he was basing that prediction on sur veys made in the four Clatsop County towns which are using fluorides. He said the surveys showed an appreciable decrease in tooth de cay at Gearhart, Seaside, Astoria and Warrenton. i There is virtually no danger of excessive amount of fluorides be ing added to water supplies, Har old Mtllican. water supply engineer for the board of health reported. He said that fluoridation equip ment could be Installed for from 1500 to $4,000. Other speakers at Tuesday session Included S. C.

WED. 26th Dorril California times, parking and traffic laws But It has not ruled that they, or any other slate, has no right to censor movies. Nevertheless, by its rulings In these two cases the court has pushed all states into a position ol Deing ootn more specuiu mm legally correct In their laws and reasons for attempting bans on motion pictures. In 1952 New York state's cen sorship board banned a movie, "The Miracle," on tne grounos it was sacrilegious. The court ruled against the state in this case, say ing "sacrilegious'' was too oroao a reason for censorship since It is a word which means different things to different people. In 1953 a Kansas censorship board banned a movie, "The Moon Is Blue," on several grounds under that state's laws, including a finding that the pictur: was obscene. A state judge, Harry G. Miller of Wyandotte County, said the law and the board were constitutional ly wrong since the Constitution guarantees freedom of press. speech and religion, Besides, he said, the board's use of the word "obscene" was so broad and vague as to make it unconstitutional as basis for censorship. The State Supreme Court re versed the judge's position, and the distributor of the film. United Artists Corp. appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court which it gave its opinion last Monday. The opinion was given in a mini mum number of words. It said simply: "Judgment reversed." This meant the U.-S. Supremo Court decided the Supreme Court of Kansas was wrong in over ruling Judge Miller and upholding the ban on "The Moon Is Blue." But the federal court did not say a state censorsmp board can not ban a film in the future. Nor did it say no state board can ever ban a film on the grounds of being obscene. It was asked by United Artists Corp. to rule on whether a state may ever censor a picture "under a clearly drawn statute designed and applied to prevent showing ob scene films." . By its scantily worded opinion the court avoided a direct answer to the broad question posed by United Artists. This is not unusual practice for the court. Tne nine justices traditionally try to avoid sweeping opinions on broad principles and to limit them selves as narrowly as possible to the particular Issue in the particu lar case before them. As a result at this moment United Artists Corp., according to one or us lawyers, does not know whether "The Moon Is Blue" can now be shown In Kansas. The cor poration's lawyers are trying to una out in Kansas.
