Puerto Rico Struggles To Build Up Island Industry
El Reno (Okla.) Daily Tribune
Seven
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Nov. 15
—<U.R)— Operation Bootstrap has
turned into Operation Hurry-up on
this American island in the Carib-
bean.
Industrial development Is moving
fast.
Officials of the government’s eco-
nomic development administration
(EDA) are hard-pressed to keep up
with requests for building new or
providing other types of factory
space to house companies that want |
to go into business in Puerto Rico, i
Last June, official records showed
60 new companies went into pro-
duction in a 12-month period. Now
the tempo has stepped up to nearly
twice that many.
Eleven factories were opened dur-
ing July and August, 20 more are in
process of construction — most of
them to be ready early in 1953 —
and perhaps another 60 companies
are negotiating with the EDA to set
up business in Puerto Rico,
A year ago, the EDA announced
it would start a factory construction
program, build several standard
floor-space units as quickly as they
could be raised, and worry about
tenants later on. It was a $10,000,-
000-a-year construction “cart be-
fore the horse" program and already
has proved Inadequate.
TURKEYS
Almost all of the nearly 50 build-
ings in the program already has
been occupied or committed to a new
industry. In addition to the “stand-
ard space” buildings, which were de-
signed so that they would be Useful
to a variety of small operations in-
volving an average of 100 employes
per factory, many larger and spe-
cially-constructed factories are be-
ing completed.
The five-year industrial develop-
ment program started with a mod-
est 10 factories in 1947; in Febru-
ary of this year the 150th new in-
dustry was started and the most re-
cent count showed a total of 190.
At the present rate of growth, of-
ficials expect to run at an annual
rate of 150 new factories and reach
their goal of around 700 industries
by 1960.
Approximately 20,000 direct new
jobs in industry have resulted thus
far. Perhaps another 20,000 jobs
have been created as a result of the
over-all economic program. More
than $60,000,000 a year has been
added to Puerto Rico’s economy by
industrial sources alone and the is-
land has boomed its income to some
$800,000,000 a year.
Encouraging as the industrial
program appears at this time, the
Economic Development Administra-
tion has had its headaches. Projects
that appeared soundly launched
have stumbled, some have fallen by
the way. At least three have failed
because of financial difficulties with
losses to local investors.
The failures are more than bal-
anced by the addition of newer and
more substantial industrial ventures,
however. U. S. Rubber International
has completed negotiations to oc-
cupy a factory near San Juan to
make canvas and rubber shoes.
Some so-called “heavy industries”
are planning to operate here.
Puerto Rice’s attractive tax ex-
emption incentives have been a
strong inducement for mainland in-
dustry to establish here. That fac-
tor is not solely responsible for ex-
pansion of the industrial economy.
Although the bulk of production in
factories here is designed for con-
sumption in mainland U. S. mar-
kets, some of the newer companies
have their eyes on the future
growth of export business, principal-
ly to Latin American countries.

Drive-In Church Aids
Attendance at Worship
WARREN, Ohio, Nov. 15—(U.R)—
For about a year now, the Metho-
dist Church in nearby Southington
has been holding drive-in church
services each Sunday and it appears
the technique is popular.
Officials report attendance is up
and membership has about
doubled to the present figure of 300.
The drive-in feature was inaugu-
rated under the direction of the
Rev. Theodore Hubbell, whose ser-
mons are “piped’’ outside through
a loudspeaker system in the church’s
belfry. Listeners park on the church
grounds.
The tiny church was built in 1838.

CHICAGO—(U.R)—Don’t laugh the
next time a friend explains his
black eye by saying he walked into
a door. A study of 10,009 indus-
trial accidents made by safety en-
gineers for Lumbermen’s Mutual
Casualty company showed approxi-
mately 6.5 percent of the injured
were hurt because they bumped
into doors and other stationary
objects.
Prevention of Aphids
Is Called Best. Cure
GENEVA, N. Y„ Nov. 15—(U.R)—
Entomologists at the state agricul-
tural experiment station here warn
that the prevention of cabbage \
aphids Ls easier than the cure.
“Since aphids are hard to stop 1
once they become established and'
are protected by the curled leaves
of the cabbage plant, Tt ls good crop
insurance to use dusts or sprays to
stave off aphid invasions,” station
workers said.
In tests at the station a 1 per- I
cent parathton dust has given best \
results against cabbage aphids j
among the insecticide dusts tried |
out.
