M.C. Industries

By WILLIAM A. SHIRES

VARIEDSomething that rivals Hollywood in sets, designs and photography and then something thgt smacks of Halteras and blue water and yachts both may be found here in the hodgepodge of industry and ccmimerce that is the city of High Pointthis and much more.

Both these unusual enterprises are home grown. So is the . giant furniture industry for Which High Point is famous.

Everyone knows about High Points furniture factories and Its furniture mart, but even in High Point ttiere are many who do not know about;

what is probably the largest non-movie commercial photography studio in the world, Alderman Studios, Inc.

, the Hatteras Yacht com-- pany, which builds and nish- es luxun seagoing yachts at a place is more than 250 miles from the ocean.

UNUSUALThese are unusual industries, and typical of High Point cmly in the fact that Industry here is of wide variety.

It Is an unusual city but at the same time it fits the picture drawn by those who :rtruck the phrase Industrial Pied-mtmt to describe the bustling middle region of North Carolina.

It is hot considered unusual by High Pdnters, however, that in a large warehouse-type plant located in what was scrub osk and pine farmland a few years ago, 140 workmen are tuntng out gleaming yachts complete with air-ccndttioning, stereo. 10 foot refrigerators, electric stoves, two and a half baths, carpeting and stateroom space to sleep as many as 10 people.

YACHTS These craft are buUt with fabricated fiberglass, and this strmg, durable material is used not (mly in the superstructure iMit for hundreds of Items that go into the boats noglng fixmi tanks and muff-lem to shower stalls and lavar tories.

The company, beaded by Willis H. Slane Jr., was established just three years ago and is to its fourth expansion. It turns out three dlHerent yachts, a 34 footer and two 41-foot models.

One 84-footer comes off the productkm line every four days and Ode 41-foot convertible yacht fisherman every five

das^. Plans are to have two lines turning out 41-foot double cabin models at the rate of

one every five days.

SLANESlane, a former flying instructor and aviation enthusiast, plans to take a crack at the speed record on the Miami to New York run next mwith.

The date isnt definite, but

STUDIOSThe fantastic and fabulous Alderman ^dlo Is located In an ultra-modern new building, also on the outskirts of High Pointjust off U. S. 29-70 and Interstate 85.

This commercial lAotography venture grew fnan a one-man, one camera and one room op-eraticm back in 1898 and was an outgrowth of the furniture Industrys complex of marketing, merchandising and advertising.

It now has acres of studio space, rcxHii for 40 setsseveral of them with high key un-finlty background. Its carpenters have, in the past 12 years, built and tom down the equivalent of 11,000 six-room houses for various sets. The studio has a gallery (tf more than 100,-000 accessory items ranging from carpets, draperies, paintings, books, clocks, bric-a-brac, diimerware and S4>pliances valued modestly at $^,000.

Its facilities and technicians can devel(H) and paint up to 14,000 black and white prints a day and 1,500 color prints and transparencies.

By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON AP) Hdel Castro has been left like a frog 00 a lily pad, wondering whether its going to rain or shine. The water around him is muddy and muddled.

President Kennedy put strings on his pledge not to invade Cuba. He seems to interpret them one way, Soviet Premier Khm-shchev another. This came up again Wednesday. So, while there has been no shooting, there may be shouting.

Direct invasion seems unlikely. It would mean another crisis with Russia. But the United States did not promise not to try to overthrow Castro by other means short of invasion. In fact, it indicated it would try.

The Kennedy-Khrushchev differences over the no-lnvasicm pledge bubbled to the surface again in two places half a world apart when Khrushchev talked to the Soviet Parliament in Moscow and Kennedy had a news cmference.

The only way to examine the differences is to look at the calendar.

In the week of the Cuban crisis, when Kennedy and Khrushchev were firing letters at each other, Kennedy wrote one on Oct. 27 Interpreting a Klrush-chev letter of Oct. 26 as prtxn-islng to remove Soviet weapons from Cuba under appropriate United Nations observatiwi and supervision and to halt the flow of offensive weapons to Cuba.

If this was what Khrushchev prrnnlsed, Kennedy said, the United States would lift its quarantine and pledge not to invade Cuba provided Russia removed its weap(xi5 under U. S. supervision.

The next day, Oct. 28, Khrushchev wrote Kennedy that he accepted the Presidents word there would be no invasion of Cuba.

Two days later. Oct. 30, aome Republican senators expressed uneasiness about the no-lnvasion pledge. They warned against any agreement that might provide a permanent Russian sanctuary in Cuba.

That same day Edwin M. Martin, assistant secretary of state for Inter-American Affairs, as if to quiet the uneasiness, said;

I dmit recall seeing anything in the exchange which suggests a guarantee of the status quo. Khrushchev began pulling the missiles out. But in telling Khrushchev he wanted all the offensive weapons removed, Ken

nedy apparently forgot to mi-tion specifically this meant Soviet bombers, too. Khrushchev began removing them later.

Left up in the air was the problem of U. S. Inspection in Cuba, the key provisioi in Kennedys assurance against

aways they can find. No sound of horns and traffic; no slamming doors, no yelling children. only peace, and very very quiet.

It Is not pitch-black out the window, street lights combine with a pale moon to let you dimly see; and overhead there isa faint glow in the sky as from star-shine.

The absolute^ stillnes, as contrasted with the hum of activity during the day, is fascinating enough to call an early-riser to the window time and again ... to peer unbelievingly, and listen.

a pale light has magically appeared on the horizon. And while you are looking, the light spreads. It Is not a warm light, but as cold as the reflected rays of the wintry moon. The warm light comes only after the suns edge moves Into sight.

And thats a signal, too, for street lights to wink out, for lights to snap on, one by one, in dwellings. There Is a sound of a truck motor in the distance, and the bark of a dog. A car starts up somewhere, and begins to roll with the exhaust pipe pluming white vapor.

Its time for everybody to get up. The sky Is fUled with light, and Its past time to get things done . . . those early hours are something to

Then on Nov. 20 Kennedy held his first new's conference since the Cuban crisis began. He said the United States had promised to give assurance against an invasion once U. S. inspection had been established.

Since there was no such Inspection, it could be argued, the no - invasion pledge wouldnt stand. Then Kennedy added a statement which was a clear warning to Castro hed be up to 1S neck In trouble without an invasion.

Kennedy said: We will not, of course, abandcm the political, economic and other efforts of this hemisphere to halt sub-versiwi from Cuba, nor our purpose and hope that tiie Cuban people shall some day be truly free.

Things quieted down a while with the no-lnvasion pledge surrounded by clouds.

Khrushchev on Wednesday pledged himself to fulfill So-

(Christian Science Monitor)

An influx of 150,0(X) teen-agers In the unemployment figures for November, when normally no such change should be expected, underscores an uncomfortable fact. This is that the United States is falling short of providing the million-a-year increase in jobs needed just for new workers.

More man - hours of production have been lost in 11 months by unemployment than in the last 35 years because of strikes. Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz declared recently. He cited this to illustrate why, granting that settlement of strikes Is important, he believes the providing of full employment Is an even greater issue.

Unemployment, while dovm

J^t commitments in the Cu-, from Its peak, has hung at a

ban settlement so long as the other side stands by this understanding. By this time, of course, as the calendar shows, the American and Russian understandings didnt look like twins at all.

Khrushchev added; But if the commitments assumed are not observed by the other side we shall be compelled to take such action as may be required by tte situation.

Then he went on to explain to the Soviet people, his way, how he came to put the missiles in Cuba In tiie first place and then how he came to take them out.

This made the whole business, one of the Soviets worst postwar blunders, look like one of the most h(morable and peaceful events of modem times.

Some hours later at Kennedys news ccHiference a reporter with the Khrushchev talk about commitments fresh in mind asked the President where the no-lnvasion pledge stands now.

Kennedy said he would stand by the statement he made In his last news c<mference. This should provide a lot of Kenne-dy-Khrushchev letter-writing.

level around 5.5 per cent or above for five years.

This has some political and economic dangers. It may call not only for strong efforts at producing Jobs but also for new understanding of the nature of unemployment in a rapidly changing technology.

Some labor leaders are credibly reported to feel that they have a bull by the tall in the issue of a 35-hour work week. A few of lal^rs own economists Questioh the wisdom of such a demand; yet it has been pushed in various negotiations because of rank-and-file insistence on it. If unemployment should worsen, the pressure, wise or not, would increase.

Actually, a 35-hour week might readily create more unemployment than it would remedy. If an employer is made to pay five hours overtime in order to work a 40-hour week, it does not au

tomatically follow that he will put on enough more j?eople to drop back to 35 hours. He may install more labor-saving machinery or even shut down operations. And some of his present workers may demand the overtime employment or else look around for other jobs.

It is very doubtful whether American industry could meet competition in world markets with a further reduced work week. This trend has reached a point of diminishing returns. A change that figured to add 14 per cent to labor costs could easily lose sales for a product; and lost sales mean lost jobs.

Labor, management and Washington officialdom all look toward federal tax cuts next year as a major hope for stimulating business activity and thereby creating real gains in employment. This, even at the cost of temporary budget deficits, is the most important step to be taken.

In addition, in a society where automation requires so much employee retraining, are there not some questions to be asked about the nature of a part of what is called unemployment?

Through two extensive programs one nationwide, the other in distressed areas the federal government Is sponsoring retraining of workers to upgrade their skills. This is both promising and necessary. Some employers provide retraining on company time. In one case the worker is classed a* employed, in,the other case unemployed. Yet is there a difference? Or Is there coming to be uch a thing as productive unemployment?

In only a matter of days, now, well be reading about the man of the year, the big stories of the year and the big newsmakers in foreign affairs, science, sports, literature, entertainment, religion, business, labor . . . and other such fields.

'These selections are a matter of opinion, and official judgments are made in a variety of ways. Tiie Associated Press, for example, polls its members.

We were talking about the poll yesterday, and comparing our estimates as to the top ten news stories of 1962.

Try it.

Last year was a very eventful year, and the obvious Top Story is going to reverberate down the halls of history. But how would you rate the invasion of India, the end of the Algerian fighting, the -James Meredith story, the Supreme Court ruling on prayer in school, the Common Market boom . . . and all the other big things that happened?

Who was the biggest newsmaker Of 1962? Castro? Khrushchev? Kennedy? John Glenn? Pope John? Meredith?

Whose name is pre-eminent in the year of sports, of literature, science?

Make a list and compare.

The following column was written by Mr. Sokolsky before his deatii cn Wednesday night.

By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY Copyright, 1962, King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Now that the first session of the Ecumenical Council has closed in Rome, wie wonders whether it was worthwhile, whether it accomplished anything. Such a Council as this deals in Imponderables, in mens beliefs, in what they believe to be true. It is a ta^ of the truly great to overcome bigotry, prejudice, traditlcmal hatreds.

The fact that Protestant observers were present throughout the Council meetings and were accepted as brethren, is something new in Roman Catholicism, overcoming on both sides the prejudices of five centuries. The fact that Pope John XXm received a body of Buddhist monks was something altogether new for a Pope and for the monks. It had never happened before. But what is more, the Pope did not say to them that he was at the head of the only true church; rather, he took the position that both sides were engaged in the same task, namely, saving men for God. He did not say that his was a better God than theirs, for how can a CJhrlstian believe that there is more than one God? And how can he believe that God is insensible to any of His children?

This, too, is new In Western Christianity. It is a recognition of the world as it is with all its differences. One need not compromise his beliefs while holding out his hand to others who think differently. Thus, in Catholic churches throughout the world there will henceforth be an Increase In the use of the vernacular. In the churches In the United States, more English will be used. It will take time for some to get used to the change and some will always oppose it. On the other hiuid, it Is bound to come because it Is the clear Intention of a majority of the church authorities that the Roman CJhurch should come closer to the people.

Thus, already an effort Is being made for Increased lay participation in the affairs of the Church. Of course, the Protestants and the Jews have always had lay participation and in some sects the clergy are subordinate to elected lay church officials. The Roman Catholic Church has benefited greatly by having a host of men and women who attend to its affairs at small or no pay but their keep and who are available for church work, unhampered by personal responsibilities, all hours of the day and night.

When the Western World was less developed, only the clergy could read and write and really only they had knowledge of philosophy, history and even, to a degree, science. Today, when all may be able to read and write, when there is a greater access to knowledge and intellectual discipline, it is impossible to impose Intellectual attitudes with^t greater recognition of lay^ participation in some decisions. This does not necessarily mean secularism. Moreover, the image of this new phase in the Roman Catholic approach to the rest of th world must have lay participation if laymen of other faiths are to understand it at all.

Will this affect the loyalty of Catholics to their church? Will they be less loyal as more of them associate with those who are not Catholics? Will those who believe in greater lay participation have to assume that because the Pope finds it possible to be a brother of all human beings without regard to race, color or creed, he has let down the guards against marriage outside the church or will It increase the number of backsliders?,

This Is a problem that the Roman Catholic Church faces and It challenges the competence of its priests. But an interesting phenomenon is taking place among Jews which may give some indication to trends. For such trends tend to be unlvRCt sal. My generation of Jews in this country tended to favor increased assimilation; the next up-coming generations, that is, those now In their 20s, seem to have returned to their faith despite their parents. Such social phenomena are not always ex-(Contlnued on Page 6)

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS SAINT PAUL ON NAVIGATION Wherefore sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God. . . Thus did St. Paul siy to the centurion and the master of the ship as he and his companlona cwif routed shipwreck. Paul

would have had no patience at all with that type of cheerfulness which we call today the PoUyanna spirit being cheerful and happy about everything, no matter how trying it may be. He was cheerful because he knew that his life and the life of the world were held In the hollow of Gods hand. He had good cheer and he had it because he believed in God. When men gave up all around him, Paul, who was supposed to know nothing but how to preach a ser

mon, stood up and told the shipmaster what to do In shipwreck and told a centurion how to manage his prisoners amid indes-crible confusion. The whole company was demoralized except Paul, and he had the af-frontery to tell them to cheer up when it looked as If the ship would go to pieces any minute. ,

But he had a reason he beUeved God. He kept the doors open between himself and the infinite; and when the Lord had something to say to Paul, Pauls ears were quick to catch the message. Men like this can afford to be cheerful even in the face of shipwreck. And they have a way of putting backbone Into demoralized men In a fashion that causes the worldly to marvel.

The new tax law which goes Into effect January 1 wl be a bonanza for tax accountants, tax lawyers, credit card companies publishers of tax diaries.

Despite the modification of the Internal Revenue Service regulations announced by Com-mlssiwier Mortimer M. Caplin, they still require a vast amount of time and care in substantiating most deductions for travel and ttitertainment expenses.

For many corporation^ this will mean hiring additional auditors, more tax advisors and more bookkeepers.

The regulations, in adding to company expenses, may reduce taxable profits. It would be a grim jest if the gains did not offset the loss erf taxes. POSSIBLE

Thats not far - fetched. Internal Revenue officials said Congressmen believed that tighter control over expense-ac-count deductions will bring in

between $85 million and $125 million in additional taxes.

But if the regulations require corporations to hire enough more auditors, etc., to swell their pasTolls by an aggregate of $250 million a year, the loss In net taxable income will be greater than the gain in deductible expenses.

The new regulations, even after Caplins modifications, make it almost imperative for every coiToratlon, partnership and private enterpriser who does any business entertaining or traveling to become a member of one of the several credit card organizations.

It will be physically impossible for the average salesman and new - business promoter^ get vouchers or receipts for every expenditure of $10 or more, or even recall to the penny outlays of less than that.

SAFETY

The only safe course Is to patronize places that extend credit through one'of the credlt-card companies. This will represent

another loss, since credit card service, directly or Indirectly, costs from 6 to 10 per cent of the amount spent.

However, the credit - card outfits can expect a deluge of new applicants for cards and new applicants for company membership. Even smaller restaurants and motels will have to display signs announcing that Gimmick Club credit cards are honored, or lose customers to the bigger places.

Incidentally, one restaurant chain has a space cm each bill whereby a credit - card carrier can note whom he has been entertaining; the card carrier gets a carbon of the bill to refresh his memory. (>edlt - card companies will probably follow. TRICKLE OF BALM

Caplin announced that regulations will be amended so that when traveling on business, a businessman need not itemize expenses for parking, local phone callfe and local taxi fares. He also agreed that In entertaining at a meal, a business

man will not have to list the exact hours, and that names of persons at a business discussion other than those entertained will not have to be listed. There are also other minor changes.

The Cranmlssloner announced that the revised regulations would be announced before December 25. That will give companies a minimum of four working days to put into effect new rules and instructions covering the amended regulation. This will come Just at the time many salesmen and traveling representatives are off on Christmas vacations.

Caplin announced that the requirement for receipts of expenses of $10 and more might be modified. At the Washington hearing on the regulations, Senator Jacob K. Javlts (R., N.Y.) declared, Ten dollars is peanuts.

He possibly visualized a sales manager entertaining five out-of-town buyers at Toots Shors and demanding {i receipt after every hound.
