COS? Im The- Day's JVews lT?iigiiini Tom I By FBANK JENKINS : The bureau of the census has - just come out with a Dew est! : mate of the population of the United States which It places V at 164,300,000 as of mld-lOSS.

This rapid in- I crease In our nation a population ' lies at the root of most of the optimistic predictions of steadily I Improving business in our country over the next couple of decades If we can stay at peace. i In a nation where living stand- t ards are high and getting higher, ; more population means MORE . MARKETS and more markets mean mora nnftAlhtlltiita for hlist- So much for the nation as a 5 whole. Let's now take a look at the Pacific Coast and our own 'S area of Southern Oregon and Far This new estimate Just made by '? the census bureau discloses that ? nalifnmia - I.Fr AT.T. . flTHRR t ulation growth in the five years V since, the 1960 census. California i oalnH nmurlv turn nH m half mil. i Jion persons between 1950 and '. 1955. This puts the Golden State in SECOND PLACE among the states i of our Union Just behind New California now has Just over 13 million persons. New York has 16 million. What does that mean to South' era Oregon and Far Northern Call' iornia? - It means a LOT. , It means that we have AT OUR DOORS the biggest market In the ' West and the aecond largest one- state market In America. If is MORE MARKET . that makes room for more industrial development. I suppose everyone Is roughly familiar with the industrial situa tion in the states of Connecticut snd New Jersey, which border on ' the great and populous state of New York and the vast market potential of New York City. , In these states, industrial towns are only a few miles apart. They vary all tne way from the one- industry viflage up to huge Indus trial centers like Newark. Driving through these states, you're hardly ever out of sight of factory chtnv neys. You're hardly out of the limits of one factory town before you enter the limits of another onei It is true that these industries find markets ALL OVER the pop ulous Northeast, but their ' most profitable market is in the state of Mew York, where more people live than in any other state, ,. . PEOPLE, ,,-ma.ke MARKETS' and the closer the markets art the more attractive they are. There waa a time when the West was acutely handicapped in the way of industrial development by its remoteness from the important consuming markets. Everything we produced in quantity had to be shipped to the more populous area east of the Mississippi river. This long haul put us at a competitive disadvantage with the East. That handicap Is being removed. It is being removed by the growth oi population in tne west, our own Western area is now able to support LARGE Industrial enter prises out of ITS OWN markets. It is able to do so because it has i large and rapidly growing consum isg population. Hardly a week passes any more when some large Eastern concern doesn't announce a branch somewhere in the West to take care of its Western busi ness. Our own native Western In dustries are expanding to the point where they are able to invade Eastern markets. The West is coming into its own. Southern Oregon has great re sources. It has rivers to develop power for Its use: It has a wide range of industrial raw materials It has agreeable climate. It has industrious and ambitious people And In addition It is advantageously close to the markets provided by Califor nia, wnlch is now, in point of pop ulation, the SECOND state of the union.

Board Snubs Cain Ouster For Hearing WASHINGTON I The subver sive Activities Control Board unan imously rejected Saturday a Jus tice Department suggestion that it reconsider its assignment of mem ber Harry P. Cain 'as presiding officer in an antisubverslve hear ing. It ruled that to disqualify Cain in the Washington Pension Union case "would be to embark upon a course fraught with dangers to the public interest." Cain, appointed to the SACB by President Elsenhower, formerly Washington with a reputation as a stror:g battler against what he de nounced as leftism. More recently he has been an outspoken critic of the attorney general's listing of organizations as subversive and of the administration's loyalty-security program. CAIN DESIGNATED - The SACB designated Cain last year to conduct its hearing on a Justice Department charge that the pension union was Communlst domlnatett and should be required to register as a front organization. The union, long active in Washing ton state, bad tne avowed purpose of seeking liberal oensions. The Washington Pension Union case found the Justice Department in tne strange position of pushing and the pension union of resisting what once was the union's plea that Cain was unfit to conduct the hearing. The pension union had contended he was biased against it. The union said last February that CaUVs. public . .record had shown him. to have .''such a rabid apprpach toward Communism" that he could not Judge fairly in this case. The Justice Department opposed the union move, and Cain himself denied the charge of bias. On April 8 the SACB found Cain sufficiently free of bias to preside at the hearing. When the hearing opened Oct. 3 in Seale, a union lawyer asked Cain about a 1049 statement before the Senate Armed Services Com mittee, in which Cain had de scribed the union as "one of the most notorious Communist - front organizations in our state." ATTORNEYS ASK The attorneys asked whether Cain could preside Impartially. Cain said he could and in the SACB's words both parties "in effect assented to go forward." On Nov. 9. 1955, after the hear ings were well under way. Asst. Atty. Gen. William F. Tompkins sent the SACB a letter quoting Cain's 1949 statements and saying the government would not have opposed the union's Feb. 14 move to disqualify Cain had it known of the statements at the time. He asked the board to do whatever it deemed approprlate.- On Nov. 18, the Justice Depart ment went further and asked the SACB to reopen the union's move to disqualify Cain. The union op posed this. Cain recessed the hear-, ing on Nov. 22 pending a ruling.

Communists obviously were in the fight. Violence was reported spreading as far away as Calcutta, the big gest city, and Madras State in the extreme southeast. It started here on the west coast last Monday In this second largest city. There was a brief upsurge of violence In Bombay late Saturday night after a lull. . As many as 600 persons may have been killed in Bombay city and state since Monday, but offi cial figures were far below that. Responsible observers have count ed 200 dead In Bombay. SEVENTH DAY In the seventh straight day of violence it was apparent that Com munists were seizing, on and exploiting the so-called language riots as the best weapon they have found against Nehru. The spread of violence was re emphaslzed Saturday when Amer ican evangelist Billy Graham flewJ on scneouie, ine euu-oaa mues from Bombay to Madras city to carry on his Asian revival campaign, Graham had landed here last mid-week In the midst of rioting over Prime Minister Nehru's deci sion to federalize and set Bombay city apart from nearby states in the reshuffling to conform roughly with language lines. ,' f . -- ; i As Graham arrived on the east Coast.

State police said Irvln mail ed three letters early Thursday morning, before his escape had been discovered, at Mount Carmel, HI. A cardboard key, reinforced with tinfoil, was regarded by police as one of the most ingenious escape devices since the wooden gun carved by gangster John Dllllnger In 1934. Dllllnger used the gun to escape from the Lake County Jail at Crown Point, Ind. State police and FBI agents found the key hidden above a shower In Irvln's cell at Princeton.

Telephone 1111 No. 3380 Food Group Gets Dare From Benson ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. Wl Secretary of Agriculture Benson Saturday challenged the food In dustry to give more aid to the gov ernment in a search tor new and broader markets for farmers. . Benson told a meeting of the National Cannert Assn. in a pre pared speech: '"There la no sounder Investment of tax dollars In the future of the United states in the health, pros perity and welfare of our people than an Investment In agricultural research, particularly In the field of new uses, new markets, new crops, improvements . in our mar keting mechanism, and an expan sion of baslo sclentlflo knowledge." Benson said Industry Itself has a "big stake " in such basic re search, adding: I wonder, therefore, if private Industries cannot do more than they are now doing to support basic research through grants to universities. Many corporations are already following this policy. I challenge you, and Industry in general, to create baslo re search. We need it for many reasons.- It la the foundation upon which advances In applied re search are built. I challenge you also to step up the tempo of mar keting research to help move agri cultural products into use." The Cabinet officer outlined new administration farm proposals featuring a soil bank plan which contemplates using surpluses to get a outback In farm overproduce Blaming ( surpluses for many present - farm problems, Benson said agricultural Income last year would have been two billion dol lars, or 20 per cent, greater had It not been for the price-depressing effects of such oversupplles. 'The Improvements we are rec ommending in the baslo farm pro gram are a workable approach to reducing surpluses, bringing pro duction and markets Into balance at fair prices, and ao raising the Income and advancing the security of our farm families," he said. Exercise Cure For Emotions SANTA BARBARA, Calif. IFl Next time you get your dander up, take a run around the block. The running wil ease the emo tional stress, says Dr. Ernest D.

HIGHTOWEB WASHINGTON lifl The United States and Red China have reached complete deadlock in their nego tiations at Genova over lifting the dangers of war from Formosa. That is made clear in a set of six documents and a statement on American Red Chinese- talks re leased by the State Department Saturday. The U. B. atatement, blaming the Red Chinese for the breakdown, showed that the- differences be tween the two countries are essen tially over possession of the Nationalist-held island, and not pri marily over the question of re nouncing the use of force. Because of this, the prospects of breaking the deadlock appear slim. State Department officials said, however, that they believe war over Formosa can be avoided and that the Geneva talks which start ed Aug. 1 can be kept going. The American statement avoided the usual propaganda phrasing and de nunciations of the Reda in the ap parent hope of inducing them to make real concessions. FIRM INDICATION. At the same time the United ' States provided another firm indl. cation mat it is in me rormosa area to stay. The atatement made these prlncl- pal points: 1. The Communists have said in the Oeneva talka that they are , willing to renounce the use of , threat of force but they refuse to apply that to Formosa on the ground that Formosa "Is Chinese territory" arfd the United States . has no right there. 2. Thus "the Communists so far seem willing to renounce force only If they are first conceded the goals for which they would use force." 3. The United States has "rights and responsibilities" in the For mosa area and has a defense treaty with Nationalist China. Therefore Red China's maneuvers "can only be interpreted as an at tempt to Induce the United States to agree that if attacked It will forego the right to defend Its lawful presence in una area. " - State Department officials agree Ilia. i m, iregu.i.uwii. i Ik it, ITnrM-A-tt TJjwl -MnW threat to take it and U. B. determi-' nation to aeieno.ii as a nn m i Pacific outposts. ..' CHINESE ACCUSE' - - Late ; Wednesday the Chinese ' Reds accused the United States of ' dodging the issue in the Oeneva talks. They said "the root of the tension" In the Far East Is "U.S. armed occupation of China's terri tory." ' In Saturday's reply, the State Department reminded Red China and the world that 13 American civilians are still held In Red Chi nese prisons despite a Communist agreement last sepiemoer to re lease them. U. S. officials said the Chinese are holding them as bar gaining pawns.
