Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation Monday. August 14, 1961 Page 2 "Everybody Seems to be Going Someplace But Me" A date to remember About this time sixteen years ago, August 14, 1945, the greatest war ever fought on this earth came to an end. After seeing two atomic bombs dropped on their homeland, the Japanese decided it was time to surrender unconditionally, and they did so, as of August 14, 1945. That ended war which began on the morning of September 1st, 1939, when Adolf Hitler's armies invaded Poland in Europe, some 8,000 miles away. Or, it might be said that it ended a' war which began in 1937, when the Japanese and Chinese clashed and began their was to last for eight years.

The Germans and the British fought from 1939 until May 8th, 1945 or a period of almost six years. The United States did not become involved until December 7, 1941, so that American participation in this war lasted only something over three years. But, unlike the case in World War American participation was undoubtedly decisive in World aWr II, and the United States did not go into war with an all-out- effort and did suffer numerous fatalities and casualties, although the total was nothing like that suffered by Russia or Germany. The result of the war, however, or one of. them, was that the United States emerged as the leading nation of the world, and the leading force for democracy in a dangerous post-war world.

But back in 1945, at about this time, many of us were naive-enough to think that there would be fifteen, twenty, or even thirty years of comparable peace, with democratic forces gaining the ascendancy everywhere. This was a great dream, and the dream of the boys who fought and died in World Wa'r II, and unfortunately it has not come true. Even so, that August day in 1945, when t-he war had come to an end, will always be a special memory in the hearts of many, arid will always be one of the most historic dates in American history. Reuther hits noil Waller Reuther, being questioned by a' panel of reporters on a recent national television show, demonstrated once again the quick mind and ability which has made him both a sivccessful labor leader and a highly controversial man on Capitol Hill. Of course, we cannot go along with Mr.

Reuther on many of his ideas, which reach too far to the left, to suit the concept of many, but it appears to us that the leader of the automobile workers knows many of his proposals have no chance of a'doption and that he uses them for bargaining purposes. Reuther says the automobile 'Companies continue to make big profits and pay their executives big salaries and bonuses, while at the same time adopting automation and allowing many long-term workers to be idled by unemployment. He insists that labor be allowed to at the conference ta'ble and talk about the economic facts at hand, when wage agreements are being worked out. Management, of course, takes the position that labor unions have no voice in company management, and do not talk over the economic possibilities of their companies with union negotiators. But on one point, Reuther hit the nail on the head so squarely that no one can disagree with him.

He points out that the Russians operate their industrial capacity at one hundred per cent while we in the United tSates in the last half of last year operated out steel mills, for example, at less than fifty per cent of capacity. Something is wrong with the free enterprise system when we let lie idle that very production which may be the difference between our destruction and our survival, that capacity which would place our production well above that of Russia; Something is wrong, too, Reuther says, in our society when over 5,000,000 people are idle of when everyone is employed in Russia. These statements are disturbing because they are true. We should find a way to utilize our great industrial capacity and employ our people. Chess chomp is unhappy Despite repeated calls and warnings, Fischer refused to leave his Hollywood hotel.

Resheysky promptly checked out of bis hotel and took his one- point lead to New York, where the series continues this week. But Fischer said he won't accept the forfeit. LOS ANGELES (AP) U.S. chess champion Bobby Fischer thinks he's been rooked. The 16-year-old refused to show up Sunday at 11 a.m.

for a match ugainst challenger Samuel Re- shevsky. He said he wasn't used to playing in the morning. The referee called it a forfeit. But Fischer says forfeits aren't allowed. No one is sure whose move is next.

The problem began 10 days ago when local officials rescheduled the 12th ganqje of a 16-game series from Saturday to Sunday. Ke- shevsky will not play on the Jewish Sabbath. Says Fischer "I'm not used to playing at ridiculous. Why should I afiounjnodate him?

There was no way of confirming the report. Romance in Lucy's life By BOB THOMAS AP Movie-TV Writer HOLLYWOOD, (AP) There's a new man in Lucille Ball's life. The man is Gary Morton and he is a night club comedian. To give the story an extra, romantic twist, they met on a blind date. Lucille is back in Hollywood after a European vacation.

Her constant companion now, as then, is Morton, a tall, broad-shouldered New Yorker with an agile wit. "Gary has made Lucille laugh again," says an intimate. "He's good for her." DEPRESSED By her own admission, Lucille was depressed after her divorce from her longtime co-star of "I Love Desi Arnaz. She plunged into work, first in a movie with Bob Hope and then in a Broadway musical, "Wildcat." The show almost did her in. She finally had to quit because of exhaustion.

During the run of the show she met Morton. A friendship blossomed, then romance. When I reached Lucille at her Beverly Hills manse, she admitted, "I've got a great guy." Does this mean a marriage is in the offing? NO PLANS "No, I have no plans to get married," she said, adding reflectively, "I'm afraid of marriage." "I'm not," Morton said lightly. He has been occupying Lucille's guest house, and they were leaving for Lake Tahoe, where he will appear at Cal-Neva Lodge. He explained that they met in New York on a date arranged by Paula Stewart, who played Lucille's sister in "Wildcat" and who is married to comedian Jack Carter.

Who is Gary Morton? He was born in New York City, a trucker's son. He attended publjc schools in Manhattan and, like many another'comedian, graduated to show business via the U.S. PLAYED CLUBS After the war, he played clubs and theaters, first as an impressionist and later as a satirical comedian. He appeared on- TV's comedy hour, in "Mr. Wonderful' on Broadway and in the better joints from Vegas to New York's Copa.

Like Lucille, he has had one divorce. -Despite the marital split, Lucille maintains close business ties with Arnaz. Asked about her future plans, she replied, "Desi knows more about them than I do." She said that she'll probably do some TV specials for Desilu, including "Lucy Goes to She plans a Dinah Shore show and another film with Hope, "Critic's It looks doupl- fuJ if she will ever return to the suspended "Wildcat."

All doctors attending heard many scientific subjects discussed and saw deomonstrations of the latest medical techniques developed during the past year. In addition, the official delegates to the A.M.A. meeting and visiting doctors 'heard reports from various committees and from the organization's new president, Dr. Leonard W. Larson.

Dr. Larson, a from North Dakota, spoke out against attempts being made by the ultra- liberals to force socialized medicine on the American public. He spoke of "the professonal spirit' of medicine in America today and said when this spirit "is diluted or destroyed, either in an individual physician or in a nation, medicine ceases to be a profession in the highest sense of the word. It becomes simply an oc- cupation, just a way of earning a living." Generally, the discussions at the convention caused very little controversy, with only one exception. This exception was the unprecedented stand taken by the Council on Drugs and approved by the House of Delegates urging mass immunization with live-virus polio vaccine.

This action, urging the mass use of the yet unavailable live- virus vaccine, comes before the new dmg has been approved by the F. D. A. The Council urged that this new oral preparation be given to the entire population- even those who have received the Salk vaccine. If this is done the Council expressed the opinion that polio could be eliminated as a public health problem.

Current signs point to good fall business By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (AP) All the goodies that the stock market has been forecasting may yet be grasped. With the third quarter at the half-way point businessmen are taking heart from increasing signs that this fall is going to be a really good as good as the stock market seems to think. The economy isn't jumping. But it' is a bit livelier than a few weeks back. The summer lull was just time of taking it easy but not a setback.

FIRST SIGNS The first signs of a fresh upturn include: Slightly fatter steel orders and production and good prospects of still better weeks to come; an upturn in installment buying, that barometer of consumer confidence; firming prices in some goods, Such as textiles; better sales of a major production indicator, paperboard; increased machine tool orders, a mea'sure of business thinking; expansion of regular wage and salary payrolls; and higher personal income totals. MORE ORDERS Yet to be felt, except in the stock market, is the impact of increased government orders. These are assured by the passage of a magnified defense bill, direct result of Soviet Premier Khrushchev's threats about Berlin. Businessmen expect the new government spending to start in time to help industrial output late this year and to beef up production in the first half of 1962. The administration js assuring business this increased deficit spending by the Treasury can be swung without either further inflation or higher taxes.

The stock market has bet that either way- business pepped up enough to cancel the deficit through increased tax revenues, or inflation mean higher dollar earnings and therefore higher stock prices. PROBLEMS LEFT This doesn't mean that the late summer days aren't without their their quota of problems. The auto industry offers two questions? Will wage negotiations now entering the down-to-cases phase trip up and end in a strike? If auto production gets going at a good clip this fall as expected, will consumers cooperate by taking a shine to the new models? Unemployment especially among the unskilled and young entrants into the ever expanding labor resists most attempts to ease it. RETAIL TRADE Retail trade has been just so-so. It's about as good as last year, but not as large as the increase in personal incomes should have sparke'd.

But the recent rise in the total of installment debls leads retailers to hope that a. real boom in on- the-cuif buying, such as has tagged along after evety business recovery, is all set again. Business spending for inventories has started to rise ly. This, too, could spurt quickly If the present signs of a more rapid business recovery grow brighter. Businessmen tend to change inventory policies fast.

MORE SPENDING Business plans for more capital spending could revive as production grows. Expansion has been held back by excess capacity in- many industries. Some observers' argue that this was given too- much weight during the Sees Demos increasing WASHINGTON (AP) Sen, Vance Hartke, predicts that if senatorial elections wire held this year instead of in 1962, the Democrats would retain their 21 scats at stake and pick up several of the 15 Republican-seats. Hartke, who heads the Democratic senatorial campaign committee, made his forecast in a signed article in the "Democrat," national committee organ. "This confidence," Hartke wrote, "is on reoorts which indicate that the American voters are pleased with the way the President and Congress are work-' ing hand-in-hand.

END TO TREND "If this harmony continues and there is no reason to believe that it will not we can. look for an end to the trend found the party in the White House dropping seats in Congress during off-year elections." The Senate is now made up of 64 Democrats and 36 Republicans. Hartke conceded there wuVbe close races in several of the 21 states where there are Democratic incumbents. But he said, "We cannot find a single- senator who we can say at this time will lose his seat." NO CONCESSIONS "On the other hand," he said, "we are not conceding any one of the 15 Republican seats which are up next year. In fact, if some of the states can straighten out their differences and solidly support strong candidates, we can pick up a number of their seats." Saying no Republican incumbent can feel that his seat is safe, Hartke added tifat 9 of the 15 Republican incumbents "have already been warned by political leaders in their home states that they are, in trouble!" Hartke listed these eight as Sens.

The title of "dean of fire insurance agents in the state of Washington" has been conferred upon H. M. Fisher of Port Angeles. Last week-end, Walter Porep, state agent of the Aetna Insurance Company, presented to Fisher a certificate relating that the Port Angeles man had completed his forty-fifth year as an Aetna agent. Porep declared that to his knowledge, this is the longest record of continuous service in the fire insurance business in Washington state.
