A HOT DAY IN AUSTIN

Shell Oil Refinery Manager
-I Urges Government Interest
The businessman can no longer
have a passive, or minor interest
in government, a Houston oil
executive declared Wednesday
morning here while taking a slap
at labor.
Shell Oil Company refinery
manager L. T. Wilson with head
quarters in Deer Park, added, “It
(government) relates too closely
to our business,"
“As our economy grows and
our relative position in the world
grows, in importance, this influ
ence of government on our busi
ness will also grow so we must
maintain an active and growing
interest in our government,” he
said.
Keynoter for the opening of the
24th Symposium on Instrumenta
tion for the Process Industries,
Wilson praised “our system of
government under which free en
terprise exists and has produced
the greatest society the world has
known.”
Turning his interest to organ
ized labor, however, Wilson noted
“an important segment of our
society which recognized the
“poses a serious threat to the
health of our economy.”
He cited a case on record,
Fibreboard Paper Products Corp.
versus National Labor Relations
Board, as an illustration of how
“new political appointees” of the
NLRB can bring about changes
in established law.
Wilson explained that, although
the case had been upheld by the
NLRB (Eisenhower Board) in
favor of Fibreboard in 1961, it was
later reopened and reconsidered
by the NLRB (Kennedy Board),
who then decided in favor of em
ployes.
As a result, the employers “po
tential back pay liability . . .
amounted to approximately one-
half million dollars,” Wilson
added.
He said, “I submit that this
kind of administration is not what
our founding fathers intended.”
Wilson emphasized that the
course is clear, adding “We, as
business and professional men,
must exert our talents to restore
a balance in Washington. I have
great confidence that it can and
will be done.”
Montana Professor Named
To \&M Water Institute
Dr. Clarence Jensen, professor
of Agricultural Economics, Mon
tana State University, has been
appointed to the A&M Water
Resources Institute, Dr. Jack
Runkles announced.
Runkles, acting director of the
Institute, said Jensen, on sab-
_ , ; : batical leave, will be here six 0 , t
growing^ power in Washington, months working with Dr. Warren agricultural adjustments.
.j 1 Trock of the Department of Agri-
Jensen, appointed to the Mon
tana faculty in 1955, was named
a full professor in 1961, and
served as department head in
1966-68.
Jensen’s previous research ac
tivity has centered around costs
and returns in farming and ranch
ing, resource productivity and
did its homework, and took an
early lead in influencing our
Washington administration.”
He said this in large part ac
counts for the pro-labor posture
which has “persisted all too long
in Washington. Labor still has a
disproportionate influence in
Washington.”
American workers can give
“the back of their hand” to the
administration and “get away
with it,” Wilson declared.
They have established an im
balance of influence in Washing
ton, he pointed out, and one which
cultural Economics and Sociology.
Trock is presently engaged in
an Institute project involving a
study of institutional factors in
fluencing inter-basin transfers of
water in Texas, Runkles added.
Trock’s research program with
Jensen will be concerned with the
“legal, economic and cultural fac
tors which are involved in the
transfer of water.”
The study is a matching grant
project with funds from the Office
of Water Resources Research, De
partment of the Interior.
