Talk about the reindustrialization of America inevitably invites com parison with Japan, whose 10 per cent annual growth in productivity compares with around zero growth for America. Osamu Watanabe, an official of the Japan Trade Center in New York who has spent many years working on trade and industrial policy mat ters at the Japanese Ministry of In ternational Trade and Industry, pro vided some interesting insights into industrial policies that perhaps have contributed to Japan’s strong growth. the seniority-based wage system and the “company-based union,” —’’Mutual understanding” be tween government and business. Watanabe said the crux of MITI’s policy is an ongoing exchange of in formation between government and business. Watanabe cited as keys to the effi ciency that has encouraged Japan’s growth: — Strong entrepreneurship among business executives. —Labor’s cooperative attitude to ward management stemming from the life-time employment system, Watanabe cited three major points with which he totally agrees: the need for businessmen to step up ex port consciousness; the need to emu late Japanese-style management, whicb attaches great importance to the worker-management cooper ation; and the need for the creation of an environment conducive to long term investment through increased tax cuts and accelerated deprecia tion.

I welcome them with open arms.” But Filomena Serrano’s brown eyes danced nervously toward the well-dressed man who shadowed the reporters, eavesdropping on the answers some of the other 1,000 re fugees gave when asked why they had fled their farms. “He’s ORDEN,” a government social worker told reporters later, re ferring to a rightwing paramilitary gang blamed for a hefty chunk of the bloody political violence pounding El Salvador, especially its lush coun tryside. The military-civilian junta and lef tist guerrillas battling to topple it ac cuse each other of triggering the ex odus, but no one doubts the problem has reached major proportions in the Massachussetts-sized nation of 4.8 million. Catholic church sources estimate 30,000 persons — the overwhelming majority of them poor peasants — have been driven from their homes by political violence since Jan. 1, though many later returned to their farms. The military-civilian junta and leftist guerrillas battling to topple it accuse each other of triggering the exodus, but no one doubts the problem has reached major proportions in the nation of 4.8 million. “Yeah, we executed an 0^ W£U9£ JC man in El Volcanillo a whill mwtv-w But the rest of the people because they were close tott:K/|i ii j-rr AT| road and the army was alwaysffiv. , a iv- ^ them,” said a 15-year-oldAl “But the army nevercomesj up the road,” he added. “W here supports our revolui| supports us. They feed usai us. They know theyhavenoi fear from us.” About 2,000 reached Nicaragua and another 3,500 sneaked into neighboring Honduras despite the danger of being trapped in the fire- fights between Salvadoran troops and guerrillas that periodically rage along the border. U.S. Ambassador Robert White, who has been pressing the govern ment to curb the excesses of its troops, believes the current violence in the countryside goes beyond any attacks by the government. “Now you have pro-government villages and anti-government vil lages,” White said in a recent inter view. “It’s a Hatfield and McCoy thing — feuding, like in the Ken tucky hills.” White’s description appeared to match, in some respects, the situa tion in the hamlets of El Volcanillo, Aguazarca and La Montanita — homes of most of the refugees living in Osicala, 102 miles east of San Sal vador. Almost all the mud-and-sticks homes along the deserted dirt road linking the three hamlets were shut tight, huge logs piled against the doors, mangy dogs sniffed through rotting piles of garbage. But further up the road nearly all the homes were open and naked, pot-bellied children played easily alongside heavily armed guerrillas of the leftist Revolutionary Peoples’ Army. Serrano, a tiny woman she was 40 but looked a di er, did not mention the kil she talked with reporters fugee camp, a large publicsd the outskirts of Osicala. richar iith A: United Press In emergencies, do this: The number of incidents at Texas A&M University requiring emergency medical treatment is in creasing, making it essential that all students, faculty and staff know the proper method of summoning help. Dr. John Koldus, vice president for student services, said in a memorandum to all departments that if an emergency occurs, the Uni versity Police Department should be contacted immediately. The tele phone number is 845-1111. The cal ler should provide the name and ex act location of the victim, a brief de scription of the injury or incident and the caller’s name and telephone number, he said. If possible, the emergency team should be met at the entrance to the building or at the scene of the acci dent and guided to the victim. The victim should not be moved until the emergency crew arrives. If it is obvious to the observer that the victim will require an ambu lance, the caller should summon one in addition to following the above procedure. The University Police should be notified if an ambulance has been contacted. The ambulance services available in this area are the TAMU Health Center at 845-1511, extension 50; the College Station Fire Depart ment, which may be contacted by dialing 911, and the Bryan Fire De partment at 779-1411.
