(USC University Press Receives Orders For Morris' Book A recent influx of orders to the University Press from Massachu setts for "Woolen and Worsted Manufacturing in the Southern Piedmont" by James A. Morris brought about an inquiry from the University Press officials. The result of the investigation follows: It seems that Senator-elect J. F. Kennedy of Massachusetts had ap peared on a nation-wide broadcast of "Meet the Press" on why textile mills are moving south. On the program he repeatedly emphasized the difference in northern and southern wage scales. Following the broadcast a letter was published in the "Boston Her ald." The letter stated that the au thor had read a book published by the University of South Carolina and written by a native of Mas sachusetts. This book pointed out that there is a great deal more to the problem than just a difference in wages-namely, lower taxes, lower power cost, nearness of raw materials, modern one floor plants, and a greater out-put per employee. Mrs. L. J. DuBose said that the demand for the book from New England since the broadcast had been exceedingly heavy. One letter from the Bay State ordered two copies explaining that it was being sent to Senator-elect Kennedy.
