Widow to Wed V. P. Berkley
In St. Louis November 18th
St. Louis, Oct. 31 U.R) The nation's No. 1 lovebirds, Vice
President Alben Barkley and Mrs. Carlcton Hadley, spent to
day together, excitedly settling details for their wedding on
Nov. 18.
The best wishes of the nation were showering down upon the
38-year-old widow who will rise
from secretary to second lady of
the land on her wedding day.
Congratulatory messages from
throughout the world flooded
her modest apartment where the
"veep" last night smilingly told
newsmen "I yield the floor to
the senator from Missouri" to
let her tell their wedding plans.
Industry Earnings Up
In Third Quarter '49
New York, Oct. 31 W) Profits of American industry turned
upwards in the third quarter of this year for the first time in 12
months.
They stand only slightly below the all-time high mark of a

Alben W. Barkley
The remaining 18 days before
the ceremony will be busy ones
for Mrs. Madley. There's a
trousseau to be selected. And
presumably she will leave her
position as secretary to the gen
eral counsel of the Wabash rail
road. The ceremony will be per
formed here but the couple
probably will reside in Paducah,
Ky., where Barkley has a mansion.
The wedding announcement
came as no surprise. Both the
veep and his lady had parried
questions about a wedding ever
since Barkley began squiring
the attractive widow around
about six months ago.
President Truman, whose
friends said he would attend the
wedding If official business al
lowed him, was informed by
telephone prior to the public an
nouncement. '
Barkley's daughter, Mrs. Max
O. Truitt, his official hostess for
the past five years, said in Wash
ington that she had known the
good news since last Friday.
The couple said last night they
had not decided on honeymoon
plans yet.
Mrs. Hadley met the 71-year-
old vice president and former
' Kentucky senator at a luncheon
last summer in Washington.
Work Lively
At Detroit Dam
Final clean-up operations in
connection with the Detroit dam
reservoir clearing are under
way and the area on the north
side of the North Santiam river
has been all slashed and burned
over for a distance of approxi
mately two and one-half miles.
The work is under the direction
of Thompson-Hendrickson Log
ging company and E. L. Gates
and company, Inc.
Work is not so far advanced
in the area south of the river al
though 60 percent of the slash
ing has been completed and burn
ing is in progress all over the
area by George Shroyer, accord
ing to Lt. Col. J. W. Miles, corps
of engineers and resident en
gineer.
In the main dam, Consolidated
Builders, Inc., have concen
trated efforts in extending the
access road system to reach the
head tower area high up on the
south abutment of the dam and
up Cumley creek toward- the
quary site. The north head tower
excavation is practically com
plete and preparations are un
der way to place the track.
The upstream cofferdam,
which shuts off the river flow
from the dam area, is being
strengthened and is near compl
tion. Foundation exploration by
means of core drilling is under
way on the north abutment and
in the river bottom.
The Gaasland company, Inc.,
has been paving the circular
rearing ponds and have 24 of
the 18 completed at the Marion
Forks fish hatchery. . Exterior
work has also been nearly com
pleted on three residences and
interior work is now being car
ried on. The roof is being placed
on the large hatchery building
and the concrete base for the
large rectangular rearing pond
completed and the walls now
being poured. Every effort is
being made to complete all out
side work prior to the first
snowfall.
year ago, when third
record year of 1948.
An unusual feature of the
third quarter was the substan
tial increase in earnings of auto
mobile companies, which off-set
sharp decline in oil company
profits.
The compilation by the Asso
ciated Press of earnings reports
of 314 leading corporations in
all major fields showed today a
total net profit of $1,003,644,061
in the July-September quarter.
That is 4.3 per cent higher
than the total of $962,102,819
reported by the same corpora
tions in the second quarter of
this year.
It is only 4.1 per cent lower
than the $1,046,983,291 earned
by these companies in the third
quarter of 1948.
Corporate earnings slid low
er in the final quarter of 1948
from their third quarter peak,
and the decline continued in
the first and second quarters of
this year.
The upturn was not surprising
to those who watched the reces
sion of early 1949 give way
gradually to an economic recov
ery around midyear. The present
profit trend confirms that re
bound.
Largely responsible for the
over-all good showing are the
earnings of two automobile companies.
The increase in their earnings
more than balanced the decline
in profits shown by the oil com
panies.
Chrysler and General Motors
increased their earnings by more
than $98,000,000 in the third
quarter of this year over a year
ago, while the earnings of 22 oil
companies fell nearly $97,000,
000 below the level of the third
quarter of 1948.
A comparison of the third
quarter of this year with the
previous quarter shows the two
motormakers added more than
$41,000,000 to their earnings
while the oil companies fell back
by some $13,000,000.
The great increase in popula
tion in the 19th century was
mainly because of a decrease in
the death rate, according to the
Encyclopaedia Britannica.
Prizes Awarded
For WU Signs
A large motor driven sign
demonstrating how the Willam
ette Bearcat would give "A kick
the rear for the Pioneer,"
was awarded first prize in the
annual homecoming sign con
test sponsored by Willamette's
living organizations. The sign,
which from a mechanical view
point was a good imitation of a
Rube Goldberg production, was
the work of Phi Delta Theta
fraternity.
Chi Omega sorority placed
first in competition among
women's organizations. This sign
was in the nature of a huge map
bearing historical spots of the
'P i o n e e r." The homecoming
slogan was carried out in the
production.
Judging was based on three di
visions: theme 50 percent; orig
inality 25 percent; workmanship
25 percent. In no instance was
the sorority or fraternity permit
ted to spend more than $15.
However, judging by the compli
cated apparatus that was involv
ed in animating the signs, "con
siderable property must have
been borrowed to come within
the maximum amount invested.
Except for the loss of the ball
game to Lewis and Clark and
the premature firing of the bon
fire, the 28th homecoming pro
gram was declared a decided
success by students and old
grads. Appriximately 3500 per-
sins took advantage of Ideal
weather conditions to see the
football game.

Husband-Hunters
Carry Rings Along
London, Oct. 31 U.R Three
pretty Mormon girls from Cape
town arrived today, en route to
Salt Lake City, Utah, to find
husbands.
They even brought rings set
with blue and white diamonds.
Telephone operator Joan Bak
er, 22, said, "I want a clean-liv
ing man."
Typist Anita Kehl, 21, said
"I'm looking for a devout man.'
Clerk Joyce Kehl, 19, Anita's
sister, said, "I must have a man
who does not drink."
Agrees A movie producer
threw his weight around in
Hollywood and insisted upon
a written agreement whereby
actress Gloria Grahame meek
ly agreed that from 9 a.m.
to 6 p.m., ffv days a week,
her husband and also her di
rector Nicholas Ray, is the
"absolute boss." Gloria, shown
while vacationing recently at
Palm Springs, was thus en
joined from engaging in any
"discussions" on the set- with
her husband. Producer Rob
ert Lord told Gloria he had
been around the film capitol
long enough to know what on
the set disagreements can do
to a shooting schedule. (AP

The girls brought their own
rings because "diamonds are so
much cheaper back home."
