Sinclair Proxy Addresses Execs
Technological factors and popu
lation trends and other socio-eco
nomic influences are salient fac
tors that will produce a “quiet
revolution” in America’s economy,
Sinclair Oil president O. P. Thomas
said here Tuesday.
“Evidence is at hand,” he pointed
out, “that the economy presently
is in a transitional phase —- a
period of modification towards an
economy characterized by changes
brought about by basic forces af
fecting the social structure of our
society.”
Thomas was the first of 28
senior officers of national and
Texas firms scheduled to lead
work sesions of the Executive De
velopment Course at A&M. The
thirteenth EDC began Sunday
night and continues through Feb.
12 with 45 to management officials
attending from three states.
Wednesday the executives heard
Donald C. Power, chairman of the
Board and chief executive officer
of General Telephone & Electron
ics Corp.
Thomas said the “quiet revolu
tion” in America’s economy “will
produce new opportunities and rich
rewards for those enterprises pro
perly discerning and reacting to
their changed environment.”
“The higher the managerial
level attained, the greater is the
need for comprehensive, balanced
judgment,” he contended.
The Sinclair president is a na
tive Texan who joined the oil
firm in 1945 following naval serv
ice and last year became president.
The economy’s current expan
sionary phase which started nearly
four years ago has a basic stimu
lating element different from
other postwar cyclival expansions,
Thomas said. This is the “use
of fiscal policy to combat low
rates of economic growth.”
Thomas stressed “that nothing
I say is intended to constitute an
endorsement of government policy,
neither economic nor social . . .”
There are racial differences in
purchasing patterns for some
goods, a fact that should be noted
as well as age grouping, the Sin
clair president noted.
Technological and socio-econo
mic forces which have brought
about farreaching changes will
continue to produce significant dif
ferences in individuals of the fu
ture, Thomas predicted.
He also observed that “for near
ly a decade the American econo
my has been in a new phase —
the non-product or service era
wherein human resources, as op
posed to material resources, as
sume progressively greater im
portance.”
markets themselves as well as the
“Technologry is changing the
goods to supply markets,” Thomas
told the executives. “. . . consumer
preferences appear to be under
going considerable transforma
tion.”

Researchers Discuss "Quiet Revolution”

I Visit Antarctica I
s 8
Two A&M researchers will be
adding to man’s knowledge and at
the same time renewing old fri
endships as they sail southward
from Argentina to Antarctica. The
professors are S. Z. El-Sayed, a
biological oceanographer, and Guy
A. Franceschini, a meteorologist.
The scientists are scheduled to
board the Argentine icebreaker
General San Martin to sail from
Ushuaia in southmost Argentina
about Feb. 2. They will return
to campus late next month.
Both researchers will be contin
uing essentially the same studies
made on earlier cruises into An
tarctica waters. El-Sayed’s in
terest is in the organic produc
tion — the quantities of microsco
pic but vital phytoplankton. He
made four cruises southward un
der sponsorship of the National
Science Foundation. His last was
aboard the icebreaker.
“This cruise we’ll concentrate
especially upon the photosynthesis
of the marine plankton and the
penetration of light through the
ice,” El-Sayed said.
Franceschini plans continuous
measurements concerned with the
amount of sunlight striking the
surface and being reflected up
ward.
“The difference between these
amounts is what the water receiv
es and is used biologically,” he
said. The A&M Research Founda
tion and the university are pro
viding his travel expenses. This
will be his third cruise in Antarc
tic waters and second aboard the
icebreaker.
A&M and the Argentine Naval
Hydrographic Office are working
closely on this as with past cruises.
A key figure is Capt. Luis Capurro,
Argentine hydrographer and a
former staff member here.
Plans call for the icebreaker to
head southward along the west
side of the Palmer Peninsula. The
vessel will put into an Argentine
Antarctic post, “Admiral Brown,”
to unload final supplies and men
before winter comes to the polar
region.
Income Tax
Time Again
All citizens or residents of the
United States, including minor
children, who had gross incomes
of $600 or more in 1964, must
file a federal income tax return,
R. L. Phinney, District Director
of Internal Revenue Service in Aus
tin announced today.
If the taxpayer is 65 or over
before January 1, 1965, he is not
required to file unless his gross
income for 1964 was at least
$1,200.
Phinney added that even though
a taxpayer is not required to file
under these rules, he must file
to obtain a refund, if any income
tax was withheld from his pay.
He said there is one exception
to the general rule. Self-employed
persons such as sole propiietors,
partners, and independent contrac
tors, must file an income tax re
turn and pay a self-employment
tax, if net earnings from self-em
ployment were $400 or more.
Taxpayers living in the Austin
District should file their returns
with the District Director of In
ternal Revenue, 300 East 8th
Street, Austin.
