Business Dean to Direct Regional Export Council
Dr. Robert R. Dockson, dean of the Graduate School of Busi ness Administration, last week was named chairman of a 40-man Regional Export Expansion Council for the Los Angeles area.
United States Commerce Secretary Luther Hodges appointed the 40 men on the council, which is the first such regional activity taken in the western half of the nation.
The council is aimed at the fundamental key to the nation's balance-of-payments problems
and maintenance of the nation’s world trade position.
The basic goal of the council’s efforts will be to “make the Southern California region more knowledgeable, more active and more effective in selling to world markets,” Dr. Dockson said.
“We are a part of an urgent national effort to deal with a major economic problem—the correction of our unfavorable balance of international payments and protection of our gold supply,” he explained.
Biosciences Center Planning to Begin
Construction on the $2 million Biosciences Research Center is scheduled to begin this summer, President Norman Topping announced recently.
A $1 million grant from Howard Ahmanson, chairman of the board of Home Savings and Loan Association, made the early construction date possible.
“This generous gift is the largest single one by any individual to our Master Plan," Dr. Topping said. ‘The entire uni-
versity is indebted to Mr. Ahmanson for it.”
Planning for the structure was begun earlier after the university received another $1 million grant from the National Institutes of Health.
The ultra-modern center, which will be located east of the nuclear physics building' will house laboratory facilities for the bacteriology, biochemistry, biology, chemistry, pharmacy and psychology departments.
The building is expected to be completed within a year.
He noted that increasing the country's exports would contribute to the effort. He said a 10 per cent increase in exports would help solve the balance-of-payments problems.
“The matter of expanding our export trade is vital for the nation and critical for Southern California industry, which can often find larger and more rapidly growing markets.
He declared that the council must promote the search for and the discovery of export opportunities for the industries of the area.
“As a step in this direction the council will urge Southern California manufactures to broaden their market research to include export markets,” the new council chairman said.
He explained that basic economic and market information on more than 100 countries is already available at the Los Angeles Field Offices of the Department of Commerce and major chambers of commerce and trade associations.
“Our identification with the $50 billion-a-year national defense program is clear-cut evidence of our high competence on the most extended frontiers of science and industry,” Dr. Dockson said.
