Public, Privdte Policies Needed
To Spur Nations Growth Rute

The following is excepted from an article
+. in the December issue OF the AFL-CIO Free
Trade Union News written by Stanley Fl. Rut-
.fenbere, director OF the AFL-CIO Dept. of
Research:
TOP ECONOMIC EXPERTS assure us that
~ the resources are available and that rapid eco
nomic growth can take place in the next decade,
1T there is no major war or depression and il the
United States government pursues policies de-
Signed to encourage this development The PROM
iSe of tomorrow is abundant economy operat-
ing smoothly for the benefit of a much larger
population in secure nation in the free world
Here are some of the factors that will influence
growth:
. Population and Labor Force Over 200 mil
lion people will live in the United States by 1870
that means a labor force of about 90 million
There will, therefore, be an adequate labor force
for an expanded economy ,and-at the very same
time-a need for an expanded economy to provide
for the requirements of much larger population.
. Education and Training: Additional invest
ment will flow into the increase of knowledge and
training of the United States population. Skills
and know-how of the workforce will improve.
Research and technology will also be fostered
Natural Resources: The United States has,
for the next 10 years, enough resources to achieve
the goals it seeks. While present conservation
programs need improvement, prospects for the
next decade point to an adequate supply of water,
minerals, ETC., for the nations needs.
Productivity: Total output per worker has
gone up at varying rates during this century, Be-
tween 1e47 and 1853 private output per manhour
went up at an average yearly rate of 42 percent.
Between 1853 and 1859, the average yearly rise
was 26 percent-during period of slow growth
which suppressed the rise of productivity Poten-
tials for the next decade are possibly in between
those two rateS-say about 3.5 percent. The
total result of all the economic factors mentioned
education and training, raw materials, capital
and manpower-will probably add up to a faster
productivity rate than the longrange past or even
the immediate past.
-. . Plant and Equipment Efficiency: Both rising
capacity and the increasing efficiency of plant and
equipment per dollar invested will enable the
United States economy to continue its expansion

Nine States Showing
COmpletiOns Gains

Tulsa, Okla. - With less than
a month to 60, the 1860 rate of
well compilations is showing an
increase over 1859 in California,
Wyoming, Mississippi, Kansas, and
several states in the northeastern
part Of the nation.
This is indicated in The Oil and
Gas Journals well completion sur
vey for the week ended Decem-

The report shows that oil and
gas operators have completed
1883 wells in California so far
this year, compared with 1,433
for the same period last year.
Here is a rundown Of other
states with increases (showing
1860 figure first and comparative
1859 figure): Indiana 986 and
8O2; Kansas 3,841 and 3,707; Mich

and sos; New York 295 and 256;
Pennsylvania 663 and 523; Utah
791 and 1856; and Wyoming 900
and 901.
Although the rate of compile
tions for 1860 is down in Texas,
Louisiana, and New Mexico, GER
tain areas in those states show
an increase: Texas District l

The suggestion here is that
they give it not to one but to
several men. The D.A.'s steady
streak of losses to Perry is the
major flaw in the popular Sc
ries. and no matter how hard
an actor tries to make Burger
"likeable," he's up against the
impossible situation of having
to act. from week to week, as if
he didn't learn a blamed thing
about Perry from the previous
case. The only comparable

Your reporter has been max

series could get along without
the services of the actor CBill
Talman) who plays the role.
The news reached Talman
shortly after he pleaded not
guilty at Beverly Hills Munich
pal Court to morals charge.
Judging from the initial up
roar, we should be hearing
more about this from everyone
concerned, including author
Erie Stanley Gardner.
What is peculiarly difficult
In a case like this land I'm
glad I'm not Hizzoner, Judge
Aubrey is the inevitable con-
fusion Of fact and fiction.
Would it be proper for a
D. A. to continue in Office while
under indictment? OF course
not.
But Talman isn't a real D.A.;
he's an actor playing the part.
Talman's attorney termed
the dismissal a violation Of the
doctrine of the show and,
earlier, Gail Patrick Jackson,
producer of Perry Mason, said
that the actor was presumed
innocent until proven guilty"
True, true. but in view of the
unsavory publicity surrounding
the party and the arrest, didn't
he become a liability to the
show land to the sponsor.
whose ad agency one must as
sumo, has not remained entire
ly silent in the matterO
Notoriety is enough for a net
work (or producer) to invoke
the morals clause in a contract
AHEAD of any subsequent
court action.
In other words, Talman is
through on Perry Mason, no
matter what happens in the
morals charge.
Not even an appeal to some
thing like Erie Gardner's Court
Of Last Resort would help.
Sideline View: CHS feels
strongly enough about the pub
licity to dismiss Mr.. Talman-
but not to Junk the expensive
($75, 900 per eachO episodes in
which he will appear the next
few weeks. In view of this, it
seems that CHS could have
suspended Mr.. Talman, pend
ing disposition Of the case, and
replaced him with an assist
ant DAD if a show was about
to go before the cameras. And
what with the various strikes
in progress. this might not
happen for some time.
CHS is now looking for an
other actor-not named as Of
this writing-to fill the role.

Further delving revealed that

1900. Therefore. it would appear
that the man shown in the photo
graph was in reality w, D. Dixon,
and not William Newman, as first
believed.
More About Lights
Last weeks picture provoked
discussion along another line, also.
In the accompanying story, it was
stated that the view was the first
to show Oakland's early street
lighting lamps, and pointed out
that the town was one of the first
to be lighted by the newly de-
veloped system.
1t was brought to the writer's
attention that the first use of
electricity in any form in the area
was in Deer Park, where the Bal
timore and Ohio railroads Deer
Park hotel was so lighted Shortly
aftcrWard hotels in Oakland were
wired. The date is estimated to
have been shortly after 1890.
Oakland's street lights, and bust
ness places, however, received
their electricity from a plant set
up by D. E. Offutt primarily to
provide current for his own store
building
The power house, which gen
Grated electricity through the use

Sometimes Mr. Lawton would be-

When this happened, the lights
would start to dim and this was
the cue for him to throw in his
hand, hustle back to the power
plant and throw on another shovel
of coal
About 1920, this private power
plant was purchased by the Town
of Oakland, and several years
later was acquired by the West

company.

certain of the identification as
soon as he saw the photo, but

He recalled the man as George
Dumire, one of a number OF

serving at the location over the
years until the installation OF
automatic signals about ten years
ago abolished the position.
Policeman Identified
Further information has been re-
ceived concerning the town police
man standing by the crossing in

In the story, he was identified
as William Newman, a member of
the Oakland police force at one
time
However, Mrs. Clarence G. Dix
on writes from Columbus, Ohio:

Horse Was Popular
Method OF Travel
Half Century Ago

Riding is still considered a fine
sport by many, but when this
weeks old picture was taken, just
a half century ago, it meant more
than that, for the horse was still
the most popular method of getting
from one place to another.
But practical necessity though it
might have been, it still attracted
those who rode just for the pleas
urc they received, and to cater
to those so inclined many bride
paths we're laid out convenient to
the numerous fashionable hotels
which flourished around the turn
Of the century.
Such a group is shown today, the
three young ladies mounted side
saddle in front of the Oakland
Hotel one of the last Of the large
summer hostclries.
The hotel was located approx
matcly on the site Of the present
Carnation company plant in Oak
land, and riding was only one of
a number of activities designed to
interest its guests. In today's pic
turc, the young women have
been identified as Dora Brown,
Edith Bolden and Fannie Brown
ing. The picture is from the collec-
ton of Ted Mason.
