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."

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. Gains of 20 per cent
and more were shown by 55 is-
cs.
In the losers' bracket, 190 is
sues dropped less than 4 per cent
149 between 4 and 8 per cent.
92 between 8 and 12 per cent, 41
between 12 and 16 per cent, 30
issues dropped between 16 and 20
per cent, and 17 were down bv
20 per cent or more.

NEW YORK (UPI) - When
Claire Eley sold his first washing
machines back in 1924, a good
part of the sales resistance he
met was rooted in a wash boiler.
"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.
