order, 54 per cent more than
the $12,820,000 reported at
end of 1960.
The company’s previous high

Rockwell is a leading manu-
facturer of portable and sta-
tionary power tools; control de-
vices such as valves, regula-
tors and electronic control sys-
tems; and measuring devices
such as petroleum,' gas and wat-
er meters, parking meters, taxi-
meters and 'voting machines.
Discussing his company’s
1962 outlook, Rockwell said:
‘Most economic indicators
point to a continuing expan-
sion of the economy and Rock-
well is prepared, with a bulging
portfolio of new products and
important changes in its mar-
keting strategy, to take fullest
advantage of expanding mar-
kets.”
He cited these specifics:
An increased number of
housing atarti in 1962 mean*
more demand for gas and
water meters and for power
tools for the building indus-
try. -»
The chemical industry, a
growing market for Rock-
well valves, meters and con-
trols, continues to surge
ahead.
School Construction will be
up and with it the market for
school shop power tool*.
A forecast ten per centt
rise in industrial production
will be reflected in. greater
demand for Rockwell's in-
dustrial power tools. '
Continued expansion of
gas utilities and distribution
will mean increased oppor-
tunity for the sale of Rock-
well’s gas measuring and reg-
ulating equipment. 1
Rockwell added:
“In addition, we introduced
major new valve a n <f power
tool lines last fall and made im-
portant changes in our market-
ing strategy. We expect to get
the full sales impact of these
changes in 1962,
“We look for increased sales
in our Automatic Voting Ma-
chine Division since 1962 is an
election year. And the growing
interest in traffic safety and
j driver education should mean
'additional sales of our Driv,o-
trainer training device and new
| Drivotron driver tester.”

Boston, Jan. 30 UR — Nine
years ago, a woman,’Fran Mc-
Kearny, sent a Christmas card
from the Yukon to a long-
term convict in Massachusetts
state prison — and it led the
romance and wedding plans.
Joseph Flaherty, now 40,
was a leader in the Cherry
Hill riot in the old prison in
Charlestown back in 1955.
Fran McKearney read stories
of the riot and sent Flaherty
the Christmas card.
Now Flaherty seeks commu-
tation of his 36 to 46-year sen-
tence so they can marry.
Flaherty has a long police
record including sentences for
a series of assaults, burglaries,
thefts, assault and drunken-
ness. He has been in prison
fqf 12 years.
Miss McKearney, now 33,
was living at Fort St John,
British Columbia, when she
first wrote Flaherty. She now
lives in Somerville — not far
from the old prison. She re-
calls::
it was Christmas in 1955,
and I was feeling lonely. 1
wondered who might be feel-
ing worse than I was, and, on
an impusle, I sdnt Joe a Christ-
mas card. He wrote to me and
continued corresponding.

His letters seemed sincere and

to visit him. We became en- i
gaged in 1958. Joe is kind j
and compassionate and consid-
erate.”
Flaherty edited the prison
weekly for some time and then j
took up linotyping, '
Aidinf Flaherty’s petition for
commutation are letters from
former commissioner of cor-
rection Arthur Lyman, who
wrote:
“It is my belief that he is
ready for release at the pres-
ent time.”
Miss McKearney said:
"I love Joe. I know he’s
changed completely from the
kind of person he was five
years ago. I’d like to marry
him the day he gets out—but
I know that will have to be de-
cided by the parole board.”

Austin, Jan. 30 UPi — Texas’
two Republican legislators be-
gan a drive this morning for
funds to repair the San Jacinto
Monument near Houston.
They are state Representa-
tives Kenneth Kohler of Am-
arillo and George Korkmas of
Texas City.
Said the Panhandle lawmak-
er: “Never in the 25-year his-
tory of the San Jacinto Monu-
ment has tax money been spent
for the maintenance or repair
of this monument. We have a
real obligation to maintain this
fine record.”
Repair funds for the hurri-
cane-damaged monument on
the San Jacinto Battle ground
have* been a controversial is-
sue since the third special ses-
sion began. Supporters say
$156,500 is needed for repairs
while others contend $75,000 is
enough. A Senate passes appro-
priation bill calling for $75,000
is pending in the House.
The first response to the two
Republicans' funds campaign
came from the Travis County
GOP, which donated $100 and
provided volunteer help for
mailing the appeal.
