Problem Isn't Easy
Persuading a foreign manu-

Mr.. Sheaffer asserts. Many are
frightened off by the sheer big
ness Of the American market.
Others have misconceptions

and believe they cannot COM

to the advantages Of investing

Despite such examples of re-
luctance, foreign investment in
this country is already size

It is natural that some Of
the most interested parties in
the auto industry's extended
fabrication intervals GELD are
those who make and sell the
grease and oil.
One of the first TO speak out
Is J. w. Lane, a director Of
the National Lubricating
Grease Institute and manager
Of SOcOny MObil Oil Co.'s pro-
gram division.
Mr.. Lane says it will take an
other years driving by owners

tory-recommended ELI TO de-
termine whether 1t is a sue
cess or failure"
He contends that the 1851
autos, the first to come out
with extended fabrication in
tervals, have accumulated only
about $4,000 miles on the aver
age, which means that "rela-
lively few vehicles have
reached the top interval Of 3d.
900 TO $4,000 miles recon-
mended by the manufacturers"
He adds that some owners
have had pressure fittings in
stalled to permit fabrication at
more frequent intervals.

featuring plants.
I'VE have no way of know
ing just how many companies
are proceeding with plans to
locate over here" comments
Robert L. Oshins, director of
the Commerce Departments
Office Of International Invest
ment. Most Of them keep their
intentions secret until they are
ready to build"
This passion for secrecy
causes most larger foreign
corporations to use private
sources for examining manu-
featuring possibilities in the
United States, Mr.. Oshins says.
The new government pro-
gram, he thinks can be parti-
cularly successful in attracting
the smaller foreign producer.
but he adds I'VE have no
glorified notions of what we
can accomplish" with the big
ger companies.
Expansion Is Slow
Mr.. Oshins does not believe
the influx Of smaller manu.
facturers into this country is
going to show q sudden big
increase. The pattern, he says
is following that Of United
States manufacturers expan-
sion in the European Common
Market a few years ago-first
the giants like General Motors
and General Electric moved in,
then the smaller companies
followed.
We're seeing the same thing
over here" Mr.. Oshins says.
Major European companies
like Bowater. Unilever and Oil
vetti have enlarged their
American operations. and the
smaller ones are starting to
follow"
1t may take five to 10 years
for foreign investment in
United States manufacturing TO
match this country's overseas
investment, but Mr.. Oshins
believes the trend Is unmistak-
able.

Easter has a late date this
year and plants and flowers
are abundant. in pots, for cor
sages and for the dinner table.
Your choice of potted plants
is wider each year but the lily
continues to be among the
most popular for this holiday.
And this year the lily is bios
soming in new colors orange,
red and bronze, in addition to
the traditional white and lem
on-yellow.
If your clay pot is decorated
with colored tinsel when you
receive your plant gift, remove
the foil from the bottom at
least to give the lily adequate
drainage.
The lily enjoys a bright win
dow, a 65-70 degree tempera-
ture and a fair amount Of
moisture. After 1t has bloomed,
plant the bulb in your garden
where it may bloom again late
in the summer. The bulb Is
rugge d enough to Withstand
the winter in the ground.
Other POpu' r Plants
Another popular pl; : avail
able in pots is the hydrangea.
Deep rose has been added to
last seasons white, blue and
purple.
Tulips, hyacinths, azaleas,
chrysanthemumS, lilies Of the
valley and rhododendrons also
continue to be popular. The

Most Of these ported plants
may be set daily In q shallow
