OAIA Asks Single Rate Plan Okay SALEM UP1-The Oregon As- sociation of Insurance Agents to day urged the Legislative Insur ance Interim Committee to ap prove single-rate packaged home owners' policies. But J. W. Nielsen, Florence. c h a 1 r m a n of the association's board of directors, admitted the request was a reversal of the group's earlier stand. Rep. Phil Lang,- D-Portland. pointed out the switch in the as sociation's position and charged such policies "would benefit only a select group of Oregon residents." Sen. Thomas B. Mahoney. D- Portland, said such policies could result in homeowners having to buy more coverage than they want. The issue of single premium homeowners' policies has split the state's insurance industry. Edgar Zoren, chief deputy of the state's insurance department, told the committee that home owner policies operate at a loss in most states, but that Oregon law will not allow loss operations as a protection for the public against insolvency." - Zoran said he believed com panies provided the service at a loss simply to get premiums for investment in the stock market "where huge profits are being made." Sen. Walter Pearson, D-Port- land, showed examples of home owner policies sold in Washington and Oregon, and said while the coverage was almost identical, the policy in Oregon cost twice as much as in Washington. In Oregon, it was explained. each phase of the policy, such as ire, casualty, thelt. is rated in dependently. and each phase must show a profit. Individual rating of separate policy features is not required in most other states, and there are no prohibitions against operating at a loss. Nielsen termed a single prem ium homeowners' policy an ex ample of modern merchandising "just like the cake mixes now for sale in grocery stores." MIKE O'HAIR Son Joins Local Firm Mike O'Hair, recent graduate of the Indiana College of Mor tuary Science in Indianapolis, has returned to Klamath Falls to be associated with his father, Keith O'Hair in O'Hair's Memorial Chapel.

Mr. and Mrs. O'Hair and their daughter are at home in Mills Addition. Stock List Shakes Off May Decline NEW YORK (UPI) - Whatever may be its daily temperature as measured by the popular averag-, es, or its aaily leaps or stumbles, the stock market goes into its final quarter of the year with signs of developing muscle. It shows few signs of the sick ness that reached a climax abuut 16 months ago, although many listed issues on both the Big Board and the lAmex have never regained the high points at which they stood before the May, 19G2, debacle. Most not all, but most ccon-, mists foresee a rise continuing in to the months ahead, although few see any sudden bull movement. The majority of the analysts ad vise careful selection in investors' attitude toward stocks, but also suggest that some second-level issues are undervalued. The tone of the market for the preceding weeks was indicated by some of tlie figures released by the New York Stock Exchange at the end of the third calendar quarter. In the thud quarter. 5!H com mon slocks advanced in price in NYSE trading, 519 declined, and 47 remained unchanged. Of the gainers in this total of 1 164, there were 205 issues which climbed less than four per cent; 172 rose between 4 and 8 per cent, 87 be-, twecn 8 and 12 per cent, 60, climbed between 12 and 16 per cent and 19 between 16 and 20 per cent.

"There were washing machines on the market, of course," he said on a recent visit here from New ton, Iowa. "The dryer still was a line hung between poles in the back yard. 'But there were a lot of places where the salesman's first job was to convince the housewife not that his machine was better than the next, but that a washing machine would work. An awful lot of wom en still believe that the only sure way to get clothes clean was to rub them on a scrub board and boil "em." The kind of nationwide sales ef fort over which Eley presides as marketing vice president for the Maytag Company of Newton still was far in the future, when he went out as a Maytag salesman in those peaceful days. "Every sale was a home sale," he recalled. "You went out on a Monday morning, knocked on a door, and when the lady answered you said you wanted to do her wash for her. And you did. I'll never forget; on Oct. 10, 1924, I got five home demonstrations in one day in one block and sold three of those places within the year." The marketing problems now are different, the approach is changed. There Is very little direct home sale on a demonstration level, even in rural areas, al though Maytag and others still make gasoline powered washing machines and wringer washers for distant areas or those in creasingly rare spots where elec tric power is hard to come by. 1 9th & Klamath Main St. at Center 734 Klamath 333 S. 6th 430 Main 2045 Wantland RESIDENTIAL 133 Grant 2437 Applegate 2029 Garden 400, 610 5.670 17,000 300 2.0001 300 26i280 700 700 3,000 Tiod Sands To Head Longview Plant Roger Sands, who started his career with Weyerhaeuser Com pany as a laborer at Everett, Wash., in 1946, Wednesday was named acting manager of the company's Wood Products Divi sion branch at Longview.
