Nixon appoints secretary, sets for White House trip
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (UPI)
—President-elect Richard M. Nixon ended a four-day working vacation here yesterday by reading himself for a White House meeting today with President Johnson and making the first appointment of his new administration.
Nixon's last day at this island resort below Miami was spent in the same manner as his previous days here - relaxing and working.
Names as personal secretary to the president in the Nixon administration was Rose Mary Woods, Nixon's personal secretary since 1951.
Reporters seeking to discover Nixon's reaction to an alleged assassination plot on his life that was broken up in Brooklyn, N.Y., drew a "no comment" from press spokesman Ron Ziegler.
Secret Service protection was increased markedly on Wednesday, presumably because candidate Nixon had just become President-elect Nixon and in accordance with law, Nixon became virtually a ward of the government.
Ziegler said Nixon learned of the alleged plot "through news reports." However, a source close to Nixon said privately "we were aware of it" before it was publicized.
Agents who had "escorted" the candidate during the campaign moved in and took over full direction of his movements. Rather than staff aides, agents now chart and decide the routes Nixon will travel.
In response to reporters' questions, Ziegler said Nixon was "giving thought" to and conversing with his staff on today's meeting with Johnson.
At that session, Nixon is expected to discuss with Johnson and Secretary of State Dean Rusk the prospects for success of the Vietnam peace negotiations in Paris and Nixon's relationship to that effort.
Nixon has offered to undertake a mission to Paris or Saigon if the President felt such a trip would be helpful.
Miss Woods' appointment is bound to be the least surprising that the president-elect will make between now and the Jan. 20th inauguration. She has been Nixon's executive secretary since 1951, serving him in the Senate, during the eight years that he was vice president and while he was out of government practicing law.
Adviser supports income tax cuts
WASHINGTON (UPI)—One of President-elect Richard M. Nixon's close economic advisers said yesterday frequent, across-the-board income tax cuts would stimulate the national economy.
Arthur F. Burns, Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers during the Eisenhower administration, also expressed the hope that "We can end, or at least reduce, the surcharge on income tax next June 30."
Burns, interviewed by U.S. News and World Report, said periodic tax reductions will be considered after the Vietnam War ends."In fact, we might aim to bring the rate of tax down year by year" in modest amounts, he added.
Smut lovers can rest easily, the Motion Picture Association of America's voluntary classification code will probably not affect the type of movies shown in Lawrence.
Films to remain unchanged
Many critics of censorship and classification feared that smaller communities would adopt the code to prevent the screening of "restricted" movies.
Elden Harwood, manager of Lawrence Commonwealth Theaters, which owns all Lawrence theaters, said his company would probably comply with the code, but it really made very little difference because the city already has what he said is colloquially termed an "anti-smut ordinance."
Harwood said the ordinance had been enacted to please "a small group of individuals who would like to see all sorts of 'pornographic' material strictly limited."
The MPA code merely suggests classification and is in no way a mode of censorship. It provides four classifications to be added to the advertising of motion pictures released after Nov. 1.
The four classifications are: G for general audiences; M for mature audiences (parental discretion advised); R for restricted audiences - no one under 16 admitted without parent or guardian, and X for adults only-No one under 16 admitted even with an adult.
Harwood said he was not entirely certain what the city code said, but it "prohibits us from showing a bare breast to anyone under 18."
He said that the cashier uses his own judgment and if there is some doubt as to age he asks for identification.

WHERE YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORPORATE ECONOMIC GROWTH
The most common measure of corporate economic growth is earnings. Though it is simple enough to set an objective of growth in earnings, achievement requires dedication, hard work, imagination and carefully thought-out plans.
Normally such growth stems from certain basic procedures: increased out-put of traditional product lines; research and development programs; diversification; or acquisition or merger. The larger the company, the more complex the pattern for growth becomes. In the case of Jersey Standard, our international scope adds to the complexity. Accordingly, earnings growth has resulted from a mix of the above basic procedures.
Under our decentralized system of management, procedures followed by affiliates world-wide in achieving earnings growth are tailored to fit local patterns. Affiliate management has latitude and authority to respond to local conditions and the head-quarters office provides regional coordination.
This system implements our objective of being a flexible, aggressive enterprise. It recognizes the importance of a proper blend of both short and long-term investments. It permits a balanced commitment of money and manpower. And it assures adaptation to the various social and political environments in which we operate.
Our plans for growth in earnings, however, are only as good as the people who develop and implement them. For Jersey Standard to grow, we must have personnel of the highest caliber—and a forward-looking aggressive, management team.
Isn't something like this really what you've been preparing for?
Make it a point to see the Jersey Standard representatives when they visit your campus-and talk over the various management opportunities in our world-wide family of companies.
Jersey representatives will be here on NOVEMBER 13,14
