The first year of the four
passenger saw 1892 sales and
the growth has been ever up

Hidden Source of Boom
~ SYLVIA PORTER

For the first time since we
built our house in the country
in 1850, we are in the market
for requirements.
In the kitchen there are ma
jor purchases I can no longer
duck; repairing the appliances
again doesn't make sense. In
the cellar, my husband is hold
ing long conferences with ex-
perts who know about the ex-
pensive things that go into
cellars. In the living room and
bedrooms the need for new
furniture becomes glaringly
obvious in the revealing sun of
q winter noon.
We are re-entering the mar
ket for durable goods after a
long interval. We soon will be
shifting back to buying big
ticket items for the simple rea-
son that we need them to re-
place items we have.
What we are about to do. I
submit, millions Of other mid
die income families will be do
ing too on a rising scale as
the goods they bought in the
earlier postwar years get old
tired, rusty.
Replacement Demand Gains
Replacement demand is go.
ing to emerge as one Of the
great stimulants to the vitally
important durable goods mar
ket.
Buying to replace an appli'
ance, a car, a couch-and
house-you now own is goinl
to represent an increasing per
.centage of our total spending
in coming years, to be a trul!
crucial factor in expanding
factory employment and pay
checks, spurring our rate o
growth.
While few commentators ar
as yet even touching on thi
point, one nationally respected
economist who also believe
strongly in the rising signifi
canoe of replacement deman
is William F. Butler, vice pres
ident Of New York's Chas

AFL-CIO Slam The Door On Readmittance of Teamsters Union

BAIL HARBOUR, Fla. @ = The EAFT4-CIO today slammed the door on taking back the exiled Team sters Union so long as it is led by James R. Hoffa.
 That is the effect of resolu- tion passed by AFL-CIO conven- ton delegates by an overwhelm- ing voice vote. There were no audible negative votes.
 The resolution stated that when ever the Teamsters or oth e r unions expelled for corruption make a formal readmittance bid they will have to pass the test of clean unionism. That has been the consistent policy of AFL-CIO President George Meany.
 A spokesman for Meany said the practical meaning of the reso- lution is that "the Teamsters can't meet the test with Hoffa in charge as president of the 1.5- million member organization.
 The convention action effective ly killed off a campaign by Hoffa and few AFL-CIO leaders close to him to end the four-yea exile from the Federation.

Rev. Luther King Says The South Could Elect 10 Negro Congressmen


 LOS ANGELES M = The Rev. Martin Luther King, the southern Negro leader, says the south could elect 10 Negro congressmen in the next decade.
 Only 1.4-million Negroes of an eligible 5-nillion Negroes are reg istered to vote, Dr. King told a news conference.
 Acknowledgement of large num- bers of Negroes could end what Dr. King termed coalition of con- servative southern Democrats and northern Republicans, he added. Southern Negroes are predomi- nantly liberal, he said, and "their influence will in many cases help liberals or make conservatives less illiberal."
 The Baptist minister told 1 1,500 persons at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium that the time has come for the President to issue a second emancipation proclama- tion ending racial segregation.

 He first came to Alaska in 1897 and when the gold strike was made on the sandy beaches at Nome at the turn of the century he became a stampeder. He later was at Fairbanks, Circle City, and in the Kantishna country.
 He was life member of the Pioneers of Alaska and was one of the organizers of Igloo No. l at Nome.

Kennedy Lays Down Program for
 Coming Congress
BY James Marlow Associated Press Neics Analyst

~-@@~'<st<~->%
 WASHINGTON M - Tn about a month Congress returns, and President Kennedy already is lay ing down some programs he wants approved in the 1862 election year which will mean lot to him.
 He has passed the word to his legislative leaders that he will fight for - among others medi- cal care for the aged, federal aid to education, and lowering of tariffs on foreign imports.
 All three are in the angry area where opponents with strong feel ings will do all they can to stop him.
 He came into office with con- servative Congress, even though his own Democrats were in ma jority. Tn the 1862 congressional elections next November all House seats and one-third of the Senate seats are at stake.
 Victory for the Republicans, giving them control of Congress, could take some of the snap out of his leadership which, on the whole, has been pretty conserva- tive, too.
 His own record in the Presi- dency could be affected and, therefore, his chances for re-elec- tion in 1864.
 So in 1862 he'll have extra req son to fight for what he pro poses since the record he and his Democrats make next year will be a major point m the elections.
 In the 1860 Presidential race he promised quick action on civil rights if he defeated Vice Presi- dent Richard Nixon. But when he won he didn't make good. He of fered no civil rights program a all.
 He can hardly fail to do some l thing in this field next year only because his own Civil Right Commission this year, In fiv studied volumes, called for mum Der of steps to be taken. Tn addition, some Democrat and Republicans will want action But the test Of his determination to get what he asks for will 1T this, as in his other programs show up ;a the kind q fight ht makes.
 He's far from being an all-ou fighter for anything he suggest. to Congress, as he showed or medical care for the aged and fed eral aid tc education.
 In addition to wrestling with Congress next year he'll almost surely have to deal with Russia on Berlin.
 It's a good guess that he will put up a truly strenuous battle for lowering tariffs on imports

All Four Sons of Mrs. Odegard Die In Plane Crashes

FAIRBANKS uB = A bereaved part Eskimo mother, Mrs. Clara Odegard, was waiting to fly to Nome today to bury the last of her four sons. All have been killed in Alaska bush plane acci- dents.
 Arthur Johnson, the oldest son of Mrs. Rudolph Odegard, follow ed his three brothers into death Friday while flying an injured woman, Mrs. Mora lone from White Mountain to the Nome hos pital.
 Mrs. lone, a mother of six chil- dren, also died in the crash.
 Born in Haycock where his parents MT. and Mrs. Arthur Johnson were married in 1918, Johnson, like his three brothers, David, George, and Wallace al- ways had passion for airplanes and flying.
 He served in the Army but was refused pilot training because he admitted % "sleep walking"
 Johnson moved to Fairbanks in 1889 when his parents moved here. He first worked for the NC. Co. and went into the Army in 1041. Following that he was a mechanic for Wien Airlines at Weeks Field here, then he took flying lessons while on that job. He bought his own plane, Piper Clipper, and flew commercially for himself out of Unalakleet for two years, starting in 1948.
 He then went to work flying for Alaska Airlines for 10 years, be- tween Unalakleet and Bethel mostly, before going to work for Wiens year ago.
 He married Grace O'Connor of Nome in 1948 in Fairbanks. and they have four children, George, Arthur IT., Irene and Clara.
 The tragedy of flying began for Mrs. Odegard on Sept. 3, l946 when her youngest son, David, . recent graduate Of Fairbanks High School and George, 22, died in a plane crash near Fairbanks while on hunting trip. David, although only 16, already had his commer- cial pilots license at the time of the crash. George had private license.
 Wallace, mechanic for Alaska Airlines, also was the owner of a

private flying license. He was killed May 12, 1854.
 Mrs. Odegard, who was born in Golovin, said yesterday that all her boys wanted to fly ever since they were born. As to losing her four sons in airplane accidents, Mrs. Odegard said 'sIt is just something a mother has to live with"

Liberal members of the House
Civil Service Committee have
succeeded in breaking through
the legislative logjam holding
up some vital Government en-
ploye legislation.
At a meeting yesterday, the
group voted to take up tomor-
row the Senate-approved bill
to liberalize postal employe
longevity pay benefits.
There is also hope the COM
mittee can take up before ad-
journment the bill to increase
the amount of life insurance
carried by Government en-
ployeS under the Federal en-
ploye life insurance program
This bill also has been approved
by the Senate.
Also, some hope is held that
the House unit also can take
up the bill to permit retire
ment on full annuities after
80 years service at age SIS. This
bill has been okayed by the
Senate Civil Service Commit
tee, but has not been acted or
by the Senate.
Chairman Murray of the
committee has been opposed tc
talking up employe legislation
until the group hammered out
a postal rate increase bill
This the committee has not yet
done. But at yesterdays meet.
ing a motion was made tt
take up the liberalized posta
pay longevity bill tomorrow
and it was approved by a sub.
stantial margin.

that the other bills will bt
acted on as we'll. But employ
leaders have their work Gu
