Neon Sign. Now 61 and a man without a party, McCall will leave the statehouse on Jan. 13. His future is as misty as the Willamette Valley at dawn. He underwent two cancer operations in 1973, but still appears healthy and trim at 6 ft. 3 in., 200 Ibs. Last week McCall was being mentioned as a potential recruit for the Ford Administration.

But the prospect he talks...

On at least one point, the public seems to agree with Ford. By 34% to 27%, those polled were willing to give some tax incentives to business-even though many blame big business for inflation-if the incentives would improve the economy...
...heavy enough to produce any actual shortage of seats. TWA will discontinue its flights to Germany, leaving Pan Am the only U.S. carrier serving that country; Pan Am in return will surrender all but one of its flights to France, Portugal, Spain and Morocco. Both carriers will trim their U.S.-to-London schedules. Pam Am will get most of TWA's transpacific routes to such places as Bangkok, Guam and Bombay, but will turn over to TWA its share of the heavily traveled route from the mainland U.S. to Hawaii...
