The average male also has more of a mind of his own about shopping for himself than mid century statist ics have led us to belie e. In a detailed report of the lat ! est surveys of family spending, , Fortune Jdagazine today reveals . that women do not control 85 per cent of all the family buy ing a statistic used widely in : recent years. ''The American woman is re sponsible for around 60 per cent of all U. S. personal consumption ; expenditures." the magazine states. I Even this figure is misleading, i the article continues, because ; many times women buy after specific requests from their hus- btinds, acting only as errant run i ners and not as decisive factors j in what is to be bought. True, the man's magazine, re I cently published a report mini ; miziitg women's influence on the male clothing purchase. Men se- led three out of four of the suits j they buy, the magazine survey showed. Women buy one out of ; every two male shirts sold, the survey admitted, but men make I the selection a majority of the ! time. Pinning down accurate fads on family purchasing is one of ! the most difficult jobs any re j searcher can tackle, i "Even when the initial idea of I buying is hers the wife's." the j Fortune report pointed out. "she often allows, indeed encourages ! her spouse to believe that it was I his." State Officers of British Daughters To Visit Medford Bow Bells chapter.

A contract with the United Steelworkers and a wage clause and agreement with the Interna tional Aluminum Workers Union expire at midnight Tues day. Wants Work Force Assured An Alcoa spokesman said the company would continue regu lar operations until the strike deadline if the union assured a sufficient work force for an orderly shutdown of the giant electric pots in which aluminum is made. The company met with the unions here and in New York in a stepped-up drive to avert the threatened strike. Meetings with AWU, covering 11.000 em ployees in seven plants, were held in Pittsburgh. Alcoa and USW representatives, bargain ing for 17.000 workers in 11 plants, held their discussions in New York. The USW also met with the Reynolds Metal Co. in New York sessions. Three Year Pacts Aluminum industry contracts were expected to be patterned after agreements reached by the USW with the basic steel indus try. The steel settlement calls for three-year pacts with a direct wage increase of 28.7 cents an hours and other benefits spread over the contract term. Management and union repre sentatives in the Alcoa negotia tions expressed confidence they would be able to write an agree ment before the strike deadline. Seaton Denies Demo Charge on President Washington (U.R1 Interior Secretary Fred A. Seaton label ed as "ridiculous" today Demo cratic charges that President Eisenhower has been a part-time President. Seaton, who was a White House assistant before becoming a cabinet member, said "The President knew what was going on and always made the deci sions when I was at the White House. He still does." Seaton, in an interview, also said no one has officially asked him to reverse the mining pat ents granted to the Al Sarena Mining Co.. Mobile, Ala. But he has the matter under study and would reverse the decision to grant the claims if he found anything wrong and had the power to do so. On power policies he said the desires of the people should be followed as closely as possible as to whether they want public or private power in a particular region.

I City I Fr.l Faster Than Sound Bomber To Undergo Flight Tests Soon Washington OJ.R) The first bomber in the United States, and possibly in the world, de signed to fly faster than sound will begin test flights in about three months. Authoritative sources who dis closed this today said that Gen Nathan F. Twining, Air Force chief of staff, recently inspected the radical new aircraft on the production line at the Fort Worth. Tex., plant of General Bly Woman Hurt By Falling Wire Klamath Falls kU.R) A 45-year-old woman was critically burned near Bly Saturday when a power pole cross arm plunged to the ground and the hot wire struck her. In a Klamath Falls hospital with second and third degree burns was Mrs. Laura Martin. She and her husband operated a ranch near Bly. Her husband, J. Martin, told sheriff's officers that an elec trical storm Friday night had apparently left the wooden crossarm smoldering. Embers dropped to the ground and Saturday afternoon started a grass fire. Martin said that he and his wife ran to douse the fire with water-soaked burlap bags. While Mrs. Martin was standing be neath the power line, the cross arm broke and allowed the hot wire to fall onto her. Martin managed to pull her away from the wire. She was rushed to a hospital uncon scious. Hodge's Aide Denies Knowledge of Scheme! Springfield, 111. (U.PJ For-j mer state auditor Orville E. Hodge's chief aide denied he ' wittingly took part in a million dollar check scandal, but called himself stupid and a "damn fool." Edward A. Epping gave the characterizations in a statement released by prosecutors Sunday. He admitted carrying money between Hodge and the South moor Bank and Trust Co. of Chi cago, but denied ever preparing or authorizing any fake state checks. Epping said he functioned merely as a "glorified messenger boy" for the resigned state audi tor, who is accussed in federal and state indictments of faking 46 state checks totaling S736, 000. The checks were cashed at the Southmoor Bank by persons other than the payees. Although large numbers of older people have migrated to California and Florida, the pro portion of older people in the population in both of these states is still below the national aver age of 8.2 per cent of the popu lation, notes a report of the Twentieth Century Fund. : o FREI DEMONSTRATION IMMEDIATE DELIVERY EXCLUSIVE "AUDIOTONE HEARING AID" DEALER Beginning Wednesday, August 1, 10 to 5 Dr. Clair Wm. Vogel, Optometrist 20 S. Central Medford Dynamics Corp. The bomber is the B58 Hust ler, a delta or triangular-winged craft after the fashion of the new F102 intercepter plane. It is powered by four General Electric J79 engines. These en gines deliver an estimated 15. 000 pounds of thrust apiece and are used in the new 1.400-mile-an-hour F104 fighter plane. Speed Kepi Secret The speed of the B58 is a close ly held secret, but informed sources indicate that it may at tain 900 to 1,000 miles an hour. This would make it upwards of 400 miles an hour faster than present American bombers which cannot exceed the speed ol souna. The speed of sound is 660 miles an hour at high altitude. The only bomber in the world for which supersonic speed has been claimed, but apparently not substantiated, was a new light bomber shown to Twining and his party during their re Navy Announces ! Hew Guided Missile Washington (UP.) The Navy : today announced a new and pre sumably longer-ranged version of its Regulus guided missile ; and gave Chance Vought Air craft, Dallas, Tex., a SI 2.000,- , 000 production contract for the weapons. The Regulus is a jet-propelled pilotless aircraft launched from submarines, cruisers and aircraft carriers against shore targets. Its sneed is more than 600 miles i an hour, and it is believed to have a range of several hundred miles. Memo from 44 oWLorri .'gjK....o ilLs : HimiHG GLASSES L8III j ?!

Twining des cribed the Russian plane as the "most significant" of several that he saw and said the Russians "claim" that it is supersonic. Americans call it the "Blow lamp." A Medium Bomber The Convair B58, however, is a medium bomber, and as such, would be presumed to have about twice the range of the Russian plane. It has four en gines to the Russian's two. If successful, the B58 eventu ally, perhaps in 1959 or I960, would succeed the present B47 Stratojet in medium bomber wings of the Strategic Air Command.
