Accurate statistics on foreign purchases of real estate and farms are un- available, but the federal government does monitor direct investment of securi- ties from Treasury bills to common stock. Those hold- ings increased from $175 billion in 1973 to $311 bil- llon in 1977, not far below the $381 billion in U.S. in- vestment abroad. Acquisitions of Ameri- can companies, and build- ing of new plants by for- eigners have increased an estimated 40 percent in the last year• There are many reasons for the rise in foreign in- 'vestment here: greater lng disclosure of farmland ownership. In addition, Congress has ordered the U.S. Com- merce Departmetto pre- pare regular fiVe-year na- tionwide studies on foreign investment. The first study, released in 1976, concluded that foreign investments in the U.S. have essentially the same economic effects as domestic investments; i.e., they bring in jobs and money. The study also showed that the jobs go overwhelmingly to local workers. Of the 1.8 million employees of foreign-own- ed companies in 1974, only 42.699 were foreigners. Many states, including West Virginia, have shown an interest in foreign in- vestment as a way to create jobs and to provide money to update manufac- turing plants. According to the Commerce Department study, in 1974, West Vir- political rates of inflation and taxa- tion, large pools of skilled and highly productive la- bor, and a weakened dollar that makes most purchases bargain-priced. : Congress is concerned about possible drawbacks to direct foreign invest- ments, which, so far, rep- resent a small share of "total U.S. investment. Dis- advantages would include neglect of Ioal communlty responsibilities by absen- tee landlord owners, lou of some American-earned profits t o stockholders overseas, possible inflation of farmland prices due to heavy foreign bidding, re- moteness of home offices to concerns of U.S. work- era, and loss of top man- agement . a n d technical positions to foreigners. Congress has already tightened restrictions on foreign banks, and has • msed_ legislation uir- stability, lower . ginia had $528 million worth of. foreign invest- ment, which provided jobs for 9,419 employees. The state government of West Virginia encourages joint ventures that do not leave total control in the hands of a foreign coin- pany. An example is the agreement between the U.S., Japan, and West Germany to share the cost of building the proposed Gulf Oil Corporation sol- vent-refined coal plant in Morgantown. In return for helping with the expense of developing a process "hat turns coal into a clean, liquid boiler fuel, the other countries will have access to the new technology. While we must continue to monitor foreign invest- ment In our country, such cooperation may be in- creasingly necessary as na- tions recognize their inter. dependence In the changing economic world.

TEN YEARS AGO Miss Rhonda McNeer and Appointments Made John S. Lanahan, president of The Greenbrier, today announced the appointment of three marketing executives to positions of increased respon- sibilities. Steve Bartolin, former assist- ant manager of marketing and convention services, has been named conference sales manager. Sharon Rowe and Rick Yetter have been appoint- ed assistant managers ?f mar- keting and convention services. Bartolin has served in a num- ber of marketing capacities since joining The Greenbrier in 1975. He attended Youngstown State University in Young- htown, Ohio, where he earned a .degree in business administrat- ion. Prior to graduating from, college, Bartolin was a profess- ional baseball player for two years, assigned to a Detroit' Tigers farm club. He is marr- ied to the former Barbara Fed- eshen and the couple llas three children. Mrs. Rowe, a native of Lew- isburg, W. Vs., joined The Greenbrier marketing staff last September after having served on the executive staff of Sen. Jacob K. Javits of New York in Washington, D.C., for the past five years. Mrs. Rowe is a graduate of the Preparatory Department of Greenbrier Coll- ege for Women, Lewishurg, and of West Virginia University where she majored in English and Art. She is married to James J. Rowe, a Lewisburg attorney. Mr. Yetter joined The Green- brier in October after having served as assistant manager of the Broadmoor in Colorado Sp- • rings, Col., for seven years. A Vietnam veteran, Mr. Yetter served as a U.S. Army field advisor to a Vietnamese recon- naissance company in combat .for one year. After graduating from high school in Bingham- ton, N.Y., he attended State University of New York at Delhi where he earned a degree in hotel- restaurant management.

CHARLES'8 CHARTER On Jan. 10, 166,1, Charles H of England granted a charter to the Royal African Company. L.s00 Gen. Kearny and Commodore Stockton captured Los Angeks on Jan. 10, 1847.

FiVE YEARS AGO Charlie Bare, Superintendent of Bluestone State Park and member of the Board of Dir- ectors of the West Virginia Water Festival, was elected president of the West Virginia Association of Fairs and Fest- ivals during the groups' annual convention in Clarksburg. Constructin was begun at the site of the new Summers County Board of Education office com- plex on property adjacent to the Greenbrier School on Main St. Talcott fireman P.H. Stand- ard, Bob Smith, Caleb Talbott, Buddy Ball, and Cecil Yancey were shown after returning with their newest fire truck they purchased. The cost of the vehcile was $7,503. @00mmefvativ00 THE HIGHER COST OF LOWER EDUCATION By Congressman Philip M. Crane, Chairman American Conservative Union The cost of four-year public colleges has risen 57 percent in the past six years; for private colleges, costs are up 63 percent. Between 1970 and 1976, college en- rollment of middle-income students dropped five percent. Higher costs of all educa- tion could be imminent unless Congress takes action. A tuition-tax credit was the first piece of legislation I introduced when elected to Congress. It calls for $1,000 credit to provide fi- nancial relief to those who have Carried the burdens of our overwhelming federal expenditures for so long but who are caught in the middle--not rich enough to be unaffected by the rising costa and not poor enough to qUalify for help. Without pulling the rug out from under those insti- tutions which have come to depend upon the program of categorical aid, we can, through tuition-tax credits, provide relief. In the long run, the revenues invested in tax credit for education can lead to higher learning, better job opportunities and, con- sequently, higher tax revenues re- turning to the federal trea- sury. That translates in- to a higher :rane standard of living for everyone. There should also be economies to the taxpayers. Current annual per pupil costs in the public schools amounts to $1,500 to $2,500. The incentive of a $1,000 tax credit thus can save the taxpayer anywhere from $500 to $1,000 per pupil whose parents take advan- tage of it. This is an id,a whos time has come; American taxpayers cannot afford to be without it. .._.. ...... . .... Mr. Oscar B. Yancey, one of my good friends, was telling me the other day about the many experiences his grandfather, Mr. W.A. Yancey, who was a patrolman and Chief of Police for the City of Hinton between the late 1890's and the early 1900's. He and "Uncle" John McGhee, who was also a city patrolman and Chief of Police during these periods, worked together on solving many crimes during their many years of service in the police dep- artmenL It has been told through the years about "Uncle" John McGhee never saw a stranger, especially when he was arresting a person he had never seen before. He would walk up to the person, pat him on the back, and say, "God Bless you my boy, I know your father!" He would take his pris- oner to jail without a bit of trouble. Mr. W.A. Yancey and John McGhee never used a gun in making an arrest. Mr. Yan- cey was a powerful man, and all he had to do was take a firm grip on a prisoner. "Uncle" John McGhee talked his prison- er to jail• Mr. Oscar Yancey told me one of his grandfather Yancey's experiences that happened in a restaurant on Front Street here in Hinton, WV., April 21, 1899. It seems that a young man by the name of William Hale and the restaurant owner, Squire Law, were in a argument. Young Hale broke chairs over Squire Law's head and left the rest- aurant. Later, Hale returned and offered to pay Squire Law a dollar for the damaged chairs and injuries to his head. Squire Law refused Hale's offer, and immediately Hale drew a gun and maliciously wounded Squire Law. Hale left town and returned to Hinton seven years if he wanted a key, but the would have a put his hand get his money, pinned both of sides. He held in Hale guilty, enced to five entiary.

Constructin was begun at the site of the new Summers County Board of Education office com- plex on property adjacent to the Greenbrier School on Main St. Talcott fireman P.H. Stand- ard, Bob Smith, Caleb Talbott, Buddy Ball, and Cecil Yancey were shown after returning with their newest fire truck they purchased. The cost of the vehcile was $7,503. @00mmefvativ00 THE HIGHER COST OF LOWER EDUCATION By Congressman Philip M. Crane, Chairman American Conservative Union The cost of four-year public colleges has risen 57 percent in the past six years; for private colleges, costs are up 63 percent. Between 1970 and 1976, college en- rollment of middle-income students dropped five percent. Higher costs of all educa- tion could be imminent unless Congress takes action. A tuition-tax credit was the first piece of legislation I introduced when elected to Congress. It calls for $1,000 credit to provide fi- nancial relief to those who have Carried the burdens of our overwhelming federal expenditures for so long but who are caught in the middle--not rich enough to be unaffected by the rising costa and not poor enough to qUalify for help. Without pulling the rug out from under those insti- tutions which have come to depend upon the program of categorical aid, we can, through tuition-tax credits, provide relief. In the long run, the revenues invested in tax credit for education can lead to higher learning, better job opportunities and, con- sequently, higher tax revenues re- turning to the federal trea- sury. That translates in- to a higher :rane standard of living for everyone. There should also be economies to the taxpayers. Current annual per pupil costs in the public schools amounts to $1,500 to $2,500. The incentive of a $1,000 tax credit thus can save the taxpayer anywhere from $500 to $1,000 per pupil whose parents take advan- tage of it. This is an id,a whos time has come; American taxpayers cannot afford to be without it. .._.. ...... . .... Mr. Oscar B. Yancey, one of my good friends, was telling me the other day about the many experiences his grandfather, Mr. W.A. Yancey, who was a patrolman and Chief of Police for the City of Hinton between the late 1890's and the early 1900's. He and "Uncle" John McGhee, who was also a city patrolman and Chief of Police during these periods, worked together on solving many crimes during their many years of service in the police dep- artmenL It has been told through the years about "Uncle" John McGhee never saw a stranger, especially when he was arresting a person he had never seen before. He would walk up to the person, pat him on the back, and say, "God Bless you my boy, I know your father!" He would take his pris- oner to jail without a bit of trouble. Mr. W.A. Yancey and John McGhee never used a gun in making an arrest. Mr. Yan- cey was a powerful man, and all he had to do was take a firm grip on a prisoner. "Uncle" John McGhee talked his prison- er to jail• Mr. Oscar Yancey told me one of his grandfather Yancey's experiences that happened in a restaurant on Front Street here in Hinton, WV., April 21, 1899. It seems that a young man by the name of William Hale and the restaurant owner, Squire Law, were in a argument. Young Hale broke chairs over Squire Law's head and left the rest- aurant. Later, Hale returned and offered to pay Squire Law a dollar for the damaged chairs and injuries to his head. Squire Law refused Hale's offer, and immediately Hale drew a gun and maliciously wounded Squire Law. Hale left town and returned to Hinton seven years if he wanted a key, but the would have a put his hand get his money, pinned both of sides. He held in Hale guilty, enced to five entiary.
