California now has Just over 13

What does that mean to South'

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.

Violence was reported spreading

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

contemplates using surpluses to

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

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

Michael, Santa Barbara College
physical education professor.
One of the best ways to stimu
late this mechanism of adaptation
to stress Is with exercise," Michael
said.
The exercise should be regular
and strenuous, Michael said, but
not tiring to Aie point of fatigue.
He recommended walking and

Possession
Of Island
Chief Block
By JOHN M. 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. " -

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.
