e HERALD AND NEWSIamath Ore. Sunday, October !2, 1961 Record Osfes 1 Predicted By Experts HOT SPRINGS, Va. (API-Government and industry economists agreed Saturday that a strong business advance would extend at least through mid-12. Official estimates that national output would reach a record rate of- $565 to $570 billion were sup ported by only slightly less opti mistic industry forecasts at the fall conference of the Business Council here. The nearly' 100 corporation heads devoted Saturday morning to- a survey of the business out look, led by Frederick R. Kappel board chairman of American Tel ephone & Telegraph Co. Secretary of the Treasury Doug las Dillon took part. He told the council in a dinner speech Friday night that rising income and prof its should insure the balanced 1963 budget, which President Ken nedy intends to send Congress in January. The thrcr.t seems remote that the $6.75-billion deficit of this 1962 fiscal year will promote inflation, Dillon said, because "government inyome and outgo will come into approximate balance by mid-De cember. Unemployment remains "intol erably high," Dillon told the busi ness executives. He added, how ever: "We expect a drop very soon. Unemployment should fall to about 5 per cent by next sum mer. Forecasts that output of goods and services would reach a rate of- $540 billion this quarter and move to $565 billion to $570 bil ll&n by mld-l!H2 were delivered tJ the meeting by Dr. Walter W. Heller, chairman of President Kennedy's Council of Economic Ajivisers. ;A rate of $570 billion would rep resent an Impressive gain of more than 10 per cent over this year's second quarter rate of $516.1 bil lion. Preliminary third quarter figures, released Friday In Wash ington, show an annual rate of $526 billion. , A report brought to today's ses sion by Kappel, head of the Bum ness Council's Committee on the Domestic Economy, was only slightly more conservative. A panel of industry economists who serve as consultants to Kap pel's committee felt the mid-1962 production rate might be $5 to $10 billion below Dr. Heller's es timate. None of the forecasts go be yond next summer the point at which some experts believe the recovery may slow down or level off. The plan for tax credits to firms which Invest in new plants and equipment scheduled as a first order of business by the House Ways and Means Commit tee in January could have an important effect, Dillon said. "By encouraging investment and equipment modernization, would help provide jobs for those in the machinery and allied in dustries," he told the business group. "By expanding export markets, it would help create other jobs. 1 He also said there was a need for government-business coopera tion "founded on understanding and mutual respect" in such im porlant areas as the promotion of exports, the fight against in flation, the acceleration of eco nomic growth and aid to under developed countries. State Police Grab Convict SALEM IAP) The State Cor rectional Institute at Salem said Friday that Robert William Harri son, 19, who had escaped, was re captured by State Police at Fos ter in Linn County.

Came Driver Impressed With Cordial Welcome Editor's Notei It has been a busy week for Bashir Ahmad, the Pakistan camel driver who came to the U.S. at the invitation of Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson. While enjoying the lux ury of a suite at the Waldorf Astoria Hole, he was asked by an Associated Press reporter to sum up his impressions of his trip to this country. This is the substance of his remarks as translated by a State Department interpreter in response to questions. By BASHIR AHMAD As Told To FRANCIS STILLEY NEW YORK (AP)-lt all has been completely unbelievable to me. I am just a humble, simple! man a camel driver but every where I have gone the American people welcomed me with smiles and outstretched hands. The most impressive thing to le Is that 1 find the American people extremely happy and all smiling. But It is almost as impressive to me that every one over here equal. I can t make any flu- ference between the big officials and the man in the street. America Is a land where be cause of hard work of the people they have produced comfort and luxury. Getting off the plane in New York and finding Vice President Johnson there to meet me was one of the most exciting tilings of all. And then 1 got to see President Kennedy m Washing ton. 1 All this was something that 1 never would have imagined or dreamed of. Still, once I met the Vice Presi dent in Pakistan and he invited me to visit the United States. I never doubted for a minute that Uie dream would come true. Tliere have been so many great things to see that It is not easy to remember them all. t liked everything I saw.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS West Virginia mountain com munities labored under emergen cy conditions- Saturday to shake off the effects of an unseasonable storm that blanketed some areas with nearly two feet of snow In the northeast, tropical storm Gerda lashed the coast with gale winds and high seas from Prov incetown to Eastport, Maine. The storm churned northeastward in the Atlantic packing winds up to 65 miles an hour in gusts. The surprise snowstorm swept over much of the central Appa lachians Friday closing schools, snarling air and ground travel and toppling trees and utility lines. Emergency conditions existed in the West Virginia mountain communities of Richwood and Summersville as the heavy, wet snow severed power lines and halted electrically operated mu niciDal water supplies. Residents melted snow for wa ter. Curfews were In effect in both communities and volunteers were called out to aid police in keeping1 residents off the dangerous streets. Some homes were without heat with temperatures hovering near 40 degrees during the night. The snowfall measured eight inches in Bluefield, three inches in the Great Smokies near Gat- linbure. Tenn.. with an inch fall ing on Mount Mitchell, N. C. with a midday temperature of 21 de grees. East of the snow-stricken area, heavy rains lashed portions of the central Atlantic slates, inree inches fell in seven hours in Charlottsville, Va.. and more than an inch at Norfolk. There was some fog and driz zle in the Ohio Valley and scat tered showers and light snow in portions of the Pacific Northwest but skies were mostly clear over the rest of the country. Temperatures dropped to the low 30s across most of the north era tier of states with a low of 23 recorded at Lewiston, Mont The mercury ranged to the 60s and some 70s from the Southeast across the South and into Cali fornia with the 4us and 50s pre vailing elsewhere. Ghost Of McGuffey Puts Little Town In Tizzy TWIN LAKES. Wis. (APl-The ghost of William Holmes McGuf fey has returned, nearly a cen tury after his death, to throw this tiny southeastern Wisconsin re sort community into a tizzy. The use of "McGuffey's Eclec tic Reader", published in 1879, at the Lakeland Elementary School started a ruckus that reached right up to the highest education offices in the state. A 200-member group of dis gruntled citizens asked the state superintendent of public instruc tion Friday to force the school board to remove the McGuffeys, charging they contain sectarian religious material. The stale had already requested their removal on Uie same grounds. The Kenosha County school superintendent attacked the books UAW Pushes Labor Pact DETROIT (AP) Driving for an over-all settlement within a week, the United Auto Workers Union and Chrysler Corp. concentrated today in around-the-clock bargain ing on at-the-plant working agreements. Local unions and managements were under orders to "devote as many hours as necessary" to set tling their differences. Each side kept representatives on 24-hour duty in Detroit to advise at-the- plant bargainers. UAW President Walter P. Reu- ther served notice Friday the un ion wants a new Chrysler con tract completed by 8 p.m. next Friday. John D. Leary, Chrysler vice president for industrial re lations, said he hoped this would be possible. from another angle. She said they were out of date. One reference work says the series of McGuffey's readers con tain moral precepts which "were the dominating core of the U.S. school curriculum for almost 100 years. Friday, Uie school board offi cially designated the readers as supplemental textbooks, at the discretion of the teacher. At the outset of the controversy, the school board said the McGuf fey readers were chosen because they have an excellent phonetic approach. Principal Kay Oes treich said the school would use several phonetic readers. As yet, the slate has taken no formal action to revoke financial aid to the Twin Lakes school dis trict. An official promised, how ever, that the Department of Pub lic Instruction would keep a "watchful eye" out to make sure the McGuffeys were really being used as supplementary, rather than primary texts.

Castro Claims Speedy Growth HAVANA (AP) Fidel Castro says Cuba will reach in eight years the rate of economic growth that will take other Latin- American countries 25 years un der President Kennedy's Alliance for Progress plan. The Cuban prime minister painted that rosy future in an economic report to the nation Fri day night. He also charged the United States with keeping Latin Ameri ca in economic stagnation and with using the threat of war to impose "an imperialist system all over the world." Castro predicted all unemploy ment in rural areas would be eliminated next year. He ac knowledged the prospects were not as encouraging in the cities. Since taking over power in 1959 Castro said his government has scaled down unemployment from nearly 700,000 to 214.000. He said Cuba's net income next year would reach more than 3- bilbon pesos S3 billion at the of ficial rate next year, which is 65 per cent higher than it was in 1958. Declaring Cuba's economic growth has averaged 13 per cent yearly since 1959, he said, "If we keep this rate It will mean that we will double our standard of livingevery eight years." Fred went along with this for quite a while but last night he said "No more chauffeuring." I'm afraid he'll stop dating me. Please help me, Ann, I'm miserable. DOLLY Dear Dolly: Most parents wor ry about teenagers In cars and your mother's concern Is of course inteosJfitd by the accident. But parents must realize that grow. ing up and living Involves risks. All any of us can do is exer cise a reasonable amount of cau tion. It is unfair to children when parental anxiety casts a shadow over their lives and hobbles them. Ask your mother to go for a ride with Fred at the wheel. Per haps when she sees that he is a careful driver she'll relax and al low you normal privileges. Dear Ann: My husband is a perfectly nice guy. He doesn't run around or have any bad habits. I think I'd gladly trade a bad habit for his one big fault. He thinks he's a great story teller. I want to crawl under the chair when he starts to tell his worn-out jokes. To begin with, he can't remember stories and he mixes up two or three in the tell ing. He forgets punch lines, butch ers dialects and I'm sure he of fends people. He stretches out the simplest story until you wonder if he's trying for a filibuster record. I hate to see him make a fool of himself, and I've asked him to quit after one or two. But he says "People love it." Frankly, f think the situation is hopeless, it you can give mc some advice I'd be grateful. GRITTING TEETH Dear Gritting: Welcome to The Club. One of the noblest sorori ties of all is the group of wives who sit silently smiling, of course while their husbands mu tilate stories. Just keep gritting your teeth, Old Girl and see your dentist twice a year. Dear Ann Landers: When I was a small child my mother raised a beautiful flower called "the nico tine plant." It grew like a petunia but blossomed only at dusk and it had a lovely fragrance which scented the evening air. I have searched for many years for this plant, but without suc cess. I know your column is not a garden corner, but you do deal with all sorts of problems, and it seems your aim is to make peo ple happy. I would certainly ap preciate it if you could help me locate this plant. Or perhaps one of your readers will know it by another name. Thank you. HARRIETT Dear Harriett: I don't know a ham-hock from a hollyhock, but I'm printing your letter In the hope that someone who reads It can come to your rescue. Front and center flower lovers! And PLEASE, don't send me seeds, just the Information. Are you tempted to smoke be cause the crowd does'.'

Scarbeck, accused of passing se cret documents to Polish Commu nist agents, said in a signed con fession "prison in the United States would be more acceptable to me than a happy life in any other country." The confession by Scarbeck, former second secretary in the American Embassy in Warsaw, was read Friday to a federal court jury. It was the third signed confession the . jury has heard since Scarbeck s trial began three weeks ago. The jury also has heard a 10-1 hour tape recording of an inter rogation of Scarbeck by a State Department security officer. Scarbeck, 41, is accused of giv ing the secret documents to the Poles after they blackmailed him over an affair with a Polish girl. Prosecutor Paul Vincent rested the government's case after in troducing statements Scarbeck signed during three days of ques tioning by FBI agents in Washing ton last June. The defense, which opens its case Monday, again objected that the state ments were not proper evidence. Scarbeck's statement said he turned over one document to the agents, a report of Ambassador Jacob Beam on Polish-American relations, and memorized bits of' others in the embassy's reading file and repeated them orally to. the Poles, known to him only as George and Zbigniew. . "I wish to emphasize that I lied to them, gave evasive an swers, garbled or incorrect infor mation." he said. He said it never entered his mind to give them "anything that would have actual and lasting effect on the security, of the United States." Scarbeck said in the FBI state ment, "1 am ready to accept any and all punishment without de? mur." Scarbeck said he could only re quest consideration of the fact that he acted under the "threat of exposure and disgrace of my family" and a threat of imprison ment for "one I cared for very deeply." his 22-year-old Polish mistress, Ursula Maria Discher. Scarbeck's wife, Karen, 37, who has remained loyal to him, watm court as she has been since the trial began. They have three small children. Scarbeck faces a maximum possible penalty of 33 years in jail and a fine of $.12,000. Oregon's Laboring Youth Leaves For Other Areas PORTLAND (API The young er part of Oregon's labor force is heading for other areas and leav ing the stale with an industry em ployment problem, an economic advisory conference was told Fri day. The remark was made to the Pacific Northwest Economic Base Study Advisory Committee by Donald A. Watson, assistant dir ector of the University of Ore gon Business Research Bureau. Watson said the field of public education is the only one which has shown a consistent employ ment increase. The basic prob lem, he said, is to "keep what we have, and go get more." He said the largest number of those leaving the state are in the 20 to 30-year-old group. The committee met in Portland lo consider a study of projected economic growth in the Northwest during the next 20 years. Bonneville Power Administra tion economist Forrest C.
