Survey Changes
Statistics About
Buying Habits
By ELIZABEH TOOMEY
United Press Correspondent
New York 'U.P Men have
more control over the money
women spend tiian they've been
. getting credit for. according to a
new report on female buying
habits.
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."

Alcoa Prepares
To Close Plants
As Strike Nears
Pittsburgh (UP' Alumi
num Company of America plan
ned to begin closing down opera
tions at 19 plants tonight if two
unions failed to guarantee crews
for tapping smelting pots should
a strike be called.
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.

Faster Than Sound Bomber To

Washington OJ.R) The first

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

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.

older people have migrated to
California and Florida, the pro
portion of older people in the

is still below the national aver
age of 8.2 per cent of the popu

The bomber is the B58 Hust

The speed of the B58 is a close

This would make it upwards of
