Allen, chairman of the board, said a written agreement with Giordano will be drawn up later, and that salary will not start until Jan. 1. The county planning commis sion recommended earlier this year that construction of the buildings should not exceed $104,000. The jail building will include offices for the sheriff-coroner, his deputies and file rooms. Con struction of the building will get underway by Oct. 1, and be com pleted before Jan 1 when the hospital annex construction starts.

It was one of the first major Soviet diplo matic moves to prepere the way for the Big Four foreign minis ters conference in Geneva next month. Faure was reported to have looked with favor on the Soviet move. But the French Foreign Office did not release the text ot either the letter to Mr. Eisen hower or the covering note. It raised immediate specula tion that Russia is making new proposals to break the deadlock wjiich has continued in the U.N. Disarmament Subcommittee in New York.

" ber of local people" had invested privately in the White City oper ation, dealing directly with him or his associates, but said that until recently no public sale of slock had been planned. Several Factors "Our decision to change our original plans was based on a number of factors," Laughlin said. "We feel that the market for our product is the most fa vorable which we have ever seen, and that it is to our ad vantage to fully capitalize as rap idly as possible and . expedite the development of .the existing program."

Back Stairs: Friends Sure Iko Undecided By WARREN DUFFEE . United Press Correspondent Fraser, Colo. (U.PJ Back stairs at the summer White House. Friends close to President Ei senhower are convinced that he, not only hasn t made up his mind to run next year, but he isn't thinking much about the decision on his current golf-fishing-work stay in Colorado. They think he'll make up his mind firmly and probably quick ly when he feels the time has come to make the decision. Un til then, it'll be anybody's guess. Mr. Eisenhower not only isn't worrying over the decision, he's apparently annoyed by all the editorial speculation over what he'll do. There's much less of that in the West than in the East, where Washington develop ments loom larger in import ance, i For that reason, some of the President's . friends attach no significance to his recent golf course remark' that the pleasant Colorado air and his successful golf shots are "another reason for getting out." And nothing, it is said, fires up the Eisenhower ire quicker than asking him whether he will seek reelection. . Mr. Eisenhower's favorite method! - of cooking mountain trout, vegetable stew and thick steaks have become almost com mon household knowledge. But he also showed his adept ness at another favorite dish fried chicken the first dayhe arrived here from Denver for his. second round of trout fish ing on his Colorado visit. First thing after he arrived at his spacious guest house on the Byers Peak Ranch of Denver businessman Aksel Nielsen, Mr Eisenhower turned to the kitch en and brewed coffee and four hours later returned with seven nice trout. But the trout yielded on the evening's menu to- the President's yen for fried chick en. . ' Golf and fishing are the Presi dent's most publicized hobbies. They're also the ones that oc cupy most of his leisure mom ents. But whenever he can, Mr. Ei senhower works in some time at another favorite sport from his Army days sk$et shooting.Q Although Nielsen's ranchTias no skeet range, it provides plenty of opportunity for target practice with rifle or shotgun WW HOMEBARWVRE Libbev Glass nru mil MRWARtf .sets by 1IBBEY GLASS Come in nd see these new Home Baiware sets today, took for this big display that shows au ine sizes.
