(U.Ri Re search at the University of Illi nois indicates that warm air heating from floor registers near outside walls is more economical than from high wall registers. Heat from the perimeter of the room is better distributed at all levels and less concentrated at , the ceiling, the university said. "This increases comfort and re duces heat loss through the ceil ing." it said. Heating the basement im proves comfort with high wall registers because of the panel heating effect of the floor, but the research showed that this adds 10 per cent to fuel consump tion. With perimeter heating, warm ing the basement adds 12 per cent to the fuel bill. Research was carried out in a typical small home built on the Illinois campus for heating study. The project was sponsor ed by the National Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Association, and was conducted by D. R. Bahnfleth, H. T. Gilkey and C. F. Chen. DOGCATCHER FEARS DOGS St. Joseph, Mich. (U.R) A Berrien County dogcatcher was fired Tuesday by the county board of supervisors who charged he was "afraid of dogs." The supervisors said they re ceived numerous complaints that John L. Monger, the dogcatcher, wouldn't nab stray dogs because he was afraid of them. Court Justice Favors Stevenson Washington (U.R) Supreme Court Justice Sherman Minton declined further comment today on his expression of preference for Democratic candidate Adlai E. Stevenson in the coming pres idential campaign. Minton 's aides told reporters he 'would have "nothing further to say, ' on the subject. ' Minton told reporters in New York Tuesday that "I have great confidence in Stevenson. I think he's a very able man." Of President Eisenhower, the justice said: "I'm afraid he's ter ribly handicapped physicall: The justice, a Democrat and former Indiana senator, made the comment after he and Mrs. Minton arrived on the Cunard liner Franconia from a two month visit to Europe. No Exact Precedent Preliminary check here show ed no exact precedent for Min ton 's statement. Vice President Richard M. Nixon was accused of bringing the court into politics when he said in a speech Feb. 14: "Speak ing for a unanimous Supreme Court, a great Republican Chief Justice Earl Warren, has ordered an end to racial segregation in the nation's public schools." Democratic National Chair man Paul M. Butler said Nixon had been guilty of dragging "the Supreme Court into the arena of partisan politics in a cam paign year." Singler Auto Supply H 0 17 OPEN!

Nixon and Massachusetts Gov. Christian. A. Herter, their voting records as members of Congress are sim ilar. Nixon and Herter served in Congress together between Jan. 3. 1947, and July 7. 1952. Con gressional Quarterly compared their voting records on roll calls picked as the most significant, from 1947 through 1950, when they served in the House to gether. Nixon and Herter opposed each other's stand on only four of the 30 roll calls they declared themselves on. They also dis played little difference in the de gree they supported the major ity of their party on roll-call votes (party unity) or in how often they voted with their party majority when it went along with the Democrats bi-partisan support)'. There was considerable difference, howeve in the fre quency with which they declared themselves on roll calls through voting or pairing. Overall Records Comparing their overall vot ing records percentagewise in the 80th, 81st and 82nd 'Con gresses, Nixon had party unity scores of 91, 74 and 70 per cent to Herter 91, 80 and 68 per cent; on bipartisan support, Nix on scored 96. 95 and 87 per cent to Herter's 96, 95 and 93 per cent; and on the record, Nixon rated scores of 88, 79 and 91 per cent to Herter's 87, 92 and 67 per cent. Until Harold E. Stassen began a campaign to get Herter the Republican Vice Presidential nomination, it had been assumed Nixon would be the sole candi date. Stassen said an Eisenhower Herter ticket would draw 6 per cent more votes than an Eisenhower-Nixon ticket. Nixon and Herter's opposing stands, all in 1950, came on the Korea Aid, Act, a bill to restore full postal delivery service, the Fair Employment Practices Act and the Revenue Act The Korea Aid Act, which was rejected, would have authorized $60 million for fiscal 1950 to help build up South Korea. Nix on voted against it while Herter voted for it. But at the time Her ter said he had "very serious doubts" about the bill for fear its statement of purpose would commit the United States to a long-term Korean aid program. Other Differences Nixon voted against the bill to rescind the Postmaster General's order curtailing postal deliveries while Herter voted for it. At issue was whether the money the Post Office Department saved in making fewer deliveries outweighed the financial hard ship suffered by such businesses as mail order houses. The bill was passed. Nixon voted with the House majority for an amendment to restrict the Fair Employment Practice Commission to an in vestigating role instead of au- Fortified Foods May , Help Underprivileged Ithaca, N.Y. (U.R) Foods fortified with synthetic amino acids, or animal protein, may be the key to helping underprivil eged areas of the world upgrade their diets. A spokesman for the depart ment of Biochemistry and Nutri tion at Cornell University's State college of agriculture, said that in countries such as the United States, where economy permits, animals and animal products are the principal sources of protein. Dr. Harold Williams said that even in the United States, we are tearing to fortify foods of low or poor quality protein with protein-rich foods. He said milk on cereal, or pork and beans are good examples. . "In our efforts to help the underprivileged nations improve their nutritional status and gain economic stability," Dr. Williams said, "the agriculture industry has a powerful ally in the chem ical laboratory where science can synthetize the essential com ponents of protein amino acids suitable for upgrading low quality diets." Foreign Nations Like American Juke Box Chicago U.R) The joints are jumpin' from Bogota to Sin gapore because of the Americari juke box. According to The Billboard, trade magazine, exports of American-made juke boxes have doubled in the past few years. Topping the list of countries importing juke boxes during the first nine months of 1955 were Belgium, the Netherlands. Vene zuela. Mexico, Colombia and West Germany. Juke boxes are the prime at tractions in coffee shops, cafes, restaurants, cocktail lounges and bars in Manila and Singapore. In Bogota, Colombia, one par ish priest rolls his machine into the square on market days and adds the money collected to the parish treasury. thorizing it to go after firms that refused jobs to persons be cause of their race or national ity. Herter voted against the weakening amendment. Nixon voted against a motion aimed at preventing the 81st Congress from writing excess profits tax legislation, Herter voted for it with the House mi nority. Agree on 28 On the 26 roll calls where Nixon and Herter agreed, they voted yes on bills, amendments or resolutions to recommit the Trade Agreements Extension Act, delete low rent public hous ing provisions from the National Housing Act, extend existing rigid price supports on farm crops instead of trying out the Brannan plan, prohibit poll taxes as a prerequisite for vot ing in national elections, ex empt natural gas producers from federal regulation (the type of bill President Eisenhower ve toed this year), all in 1949. In 1948, they voted yes on bills to restore war time curbs on in stallment buying and raise Fed eral Reserve Bank Require ments, extend the draft act, re duce income taxes. In 1947, they voted for the Taft-Hartley Act. They voted no on a bill in 1950 to extend federal rent con trols and on a rule, in 1949 to restrict debate and amendments on a bill to liberalize social se curity benefits. (Copyright 1956. Congressional Quarterly) Stone to be Used rr All Phases of Building Chicago (U.R A new devel opment in '.i-inch thick quar ried stone veneer is expected to lead to more extensive use of stone in all phases of the build ing industry, according to George Isaacs, president of the Everglade Quarry Stone Co., Inc. The Chicago concern has de veloped a simplified and eco nomical process for interior and exterior stone construction which, according to Isaacs, "will conserve space, can he installed quickly, and will result in con siderable savings. "Main features of the new process," Isaacs said, "is that the stones are individually anchored on existing walls with anchors or splines, eliminating weight or pressure. Because of the ve neer's self load-bearing qualities, preparatory measures such as reinforcements and added foot ings are unnecessary, thus cut ting costs considerably over in stallation of conventional thick er stone. "In developing this new prod uct, the company eliminated a previous deterrent in the use of thin stone veneer by develop ing a magnesium mortar which prevents rusting, corrosion, and joint expansion."
