U.S. industrial might at stake, Rockwell says By a Staff Writer LOS ANGELES- Two executives named Anderson sounded similar urgent warnings here last week that the U.S. is in grave danger of losing its industrial and technological leadership in the world. Robert Anderson, president of North American Rockwell Corp., El Segundo, Calif., in his keynote talk to the Western Electronic Show and Convention, complained of handicaps U.S. businessmen must contend with in efforts to recover sales lost to foreign companies. He cited slowed investments in research and development, labor's opposition to removal of trade restrictions and tough competition from overseas by their governments. U.S. antitrust laws should be changed or reinterpreted to spur business with countries that "don't know about antitrust laws," he said. The American laws force U.S. industry to "fight with one hand tied behind its back." Charles Anderson, president of Stanford Research Institute, in a talk to Town Hall here called for a three-point program: First, he said, "significant and new incentives" should be provided to stimulate industrial research and development spending. "Second, government should utilize industrial research and development capabilities by contracting with industry for significant programs of national importance. "Third, legal barriers which prohibit cooperative efforts by industry should be removed for they constrain technological progress," he said. Industry can provide the key energizing force to produce results, he added. "Unfortunately, this process has been permitted to 'wind down' in the past several years and it must be redeveloped if our nation is to maintain its position of [continued in next column, underneath a picture of Robert Anderson.

The U.S. must better develop and better utilize the huge resource of its science and technology to effectively deal with many of its most pressing problems," he said. "During the past several years," he declared, "it has become fashionable in some quarters to decry the influence of technology on society and to blame many of our ills on advances in technology. "I suggest this is a dangerous position to hold and what we need is order to effectively deal with many of our economic and social problems is more technology, not less," he said. TV Re-Run Issue (Continued from Page 4) adds that "this is one of the reasons why 90 per cent of the actors in Hollywood are unemployed on any given day." "This is only a vote getting decive," quips Terrence O'Flaherty, syndicated TV columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle. "There's nothing wrong with re-runs - besides it's none of the President's business." Questioning why Mr. Nixon vetoed the public TV bill recently, O'Flaherty says, "if the real aim is to provide more TV, why veto such a bill? "The public is getting more than thet deserve anyway," O'Flaherty adds. "If they want to eliminate re-runs, they should just lower the costs of production." "Everybody would like to make new productions," says a member of the Los Angeles Assn. of Motion Pictures and Television Producers, "but the [[next column]] costs are too high. "Besides, I miss a lot of programs the first time around. I depend on those re-runs. An average TV series," he points out, "has to run two to three years before it can make a profit - some productions would have to be written off as losses without re-runs." "I want to see the re-runs of a lot of shows I missed," agrees Bob Newgard, vice president of sales for Paramount Television. "The networks are stretched as far as they can on costs - the quality of productions wouldn't be good if re-runs were cut back. Prices keep going up, but the sales price has to stop somewhere." Election year ploy, or not, the whole quagmire developing over the issue of TV re-runs has failed to gather a consensus. While everyone is in agreement unemployment among Hollywood film people is too high, the solution remains elusive.

While bill yields continued to move up and rates on certificates of deposit were raised, commercial paper rates remained at their previous levels as new issues were in small supply. Federal funds traded in the 5 - 5-1/4 range with little intervention by the Federal Reserve Board. On the bond side, long-term investors maintained their indifference to new corporate issues, causing a series of lower prices. The municipal marker also saw little retail interest, but prices held steady anyway with a slight upwards bias.
