Forest Park, Pa. U.R
AFL-CIO sources said yesterday
that the top leaders of their 15-
million-member organization are
moving closer to an endorsement
of the Democrats' 1956 presiden
tial ticket.
AFL - CIO President George
Meany was reported to be cool
to the idea of handing the or
ganization's political blessing out
this year.
Some Committed
But eight of the council's 28
members including the heads of
some of the most powerful
unions in the AFL-CIO, are open
ly committed to supporting the
Stevenson - Kefauver ticket. Al
most all members were reported
leaning toward the Democratic
ticket.
David Dubinsky, president of
the International Ladies Gar
ment Workers and a council
member, told reporters he is
"solidly backing" the idea of an
AFL-CIO endorsement for the

Old Cannon Gives
South Dakota Laugh
Vermillion, S.D (U.R) An
old Civil War cannon which was
brought to the Dakota Territory
to shower destruction on Indi
ans, later made quite a name
for itself by providing South
Dakota with laughs for about
half a century.
The city of Vermillion orig
inally was given the cannon
hostilities ended. It used the big I
gun in Fourth of July celebra
tions, and soon other nearby
towns wanted to use it.
However, the others would
either intentionally or uninten
tionally forget to return it. ..
University of South' Dakota
students stole the cannon in 1888
just before the results of
the Benjamin Harrison - Grover
Cleveland presidential election
was made known. They wanted
Harrison to win. He did, and the
cannon roared.
Just after the turn of the cen
tury, Elk Point borrowed the
weapon and installed it on a
courthouse lawn. Another group
of university students stole it
during the night and got as far
as the nearest tavern, where
they stopped for refreshments.
Outside, Elk Point residents
caught up with them and took
it back.
It wasn't until 1921 that an
other group of university stu
dents tried to take it back to
Vermillion. They tied and gag
ged a watchman, and back to
school went the artillery piece.
It has been sitting in a base
ment in the school's adminis
tration building and officials are
thinking of repairing it and put
ting it on the campus lawn
again. But they're not sure how
long it will stay.

ren. Anti-Smoke Law
Improves Highways
: Pittsburgh (U.R)-' This city's
anti-smoke law, which eliminat
ed Pittsburgh's old-time "Smoky
City" tag, will lead indirectly to
better and cheaper highways for
the entire nation on the basis of
tests on a model road used by
heavy trucks.
The improved highways will
come through the use of "fly
ash," a waste product reclaimed
at sieei mui stacKs, wnicn is
combined with normal road-
building materials in laying
highways. Tests indicate that in
stead of the road deteriorating
with, age, it actually gets
stronger with age if fly-ash is
used.
Back in th pre-smoke control
days, fly-ash belched freely from
industrial stacks and sometimes
turned noon into night, even in
downtown Pittsburgh. When the
smoke control law went into ef
fect the accumulated waste be
came such a problem that an
amendment was added to the law
which prohibited dumping it in
fields.
At this point Bituminous Coal
Research Inc., a non-profit group
sponsored by coal and some al
lied industries, stepped into the
uicture. It developed formulas
for adding fly-ash to road build
ing materials, blacktop and con
crete, and even cement blocks.
The results were more than a
mild success according to Henry
H. Russell, a BCR spokesman.
A test roadway using fly-ash
was laid between a power sta
tion of Duquesne Light Co.
near here and the station's coal
stockpile. The road was pounded
daily by some 300 trucks loaded
with as much as 30,000 pounds
of coal.
"The road actually strength
ened with age," Russell said.
The test convinced the state's
highway department which ac
cepted the use of fly-ash quickly.
It will be used on a local high
way soon.
Russell said fly-ash costs about
half of what slag costs now.
Grinding Wheels Now
Shipped Egg-Crafe Style
Buffalo, TX.Y.tU.B The Elec

Corp. of Buffalo has devised a
new technique for shipping small
grinding wheels.
The wheels now are being
packed in egg-crate style to re
duce damage In shipping and
handling and to simplify inven
tory problems for the customer.
The new system, which util
izes double-face'd corrugated car
tons of interior airfloat construc
tion, cuts down on shipping
weight and eliminates sawdust
and shredded packing materials.
The cardboard cartons hold four
to six-inch cup wheels.

Back Stairs:
By MERRIMAN SMITH
United Press White House Writer
Pebble Beach, Calif. (U.R)
Backstairs at the traveling White
House:
President Eisenhower is in. a
fists-up attitude toward his Dem
ocratic election opposition. He
thinks Adlai E. Stevenson, the
Democratic nominee, and former
President Harry S. Truman have
hit below the belt in their com
ments on his administration.
He plans to slug back soon.
Before the GOP convention in
San Francisco, Mr. Eisenhower
was not expected to start cam
paigning until the end of Septem
ber or early October. He now
intends to open up by Sept. 15.
Shortly after Mr. Eisenhower
returns to Washington, he'll head
for his farm In Gettysburg, Pa.,
probably to spend next week
end there.
Mr. Eisenhower turned down
a plea from photographers to
let them shoot him on the fa
mous 16th hole of the Cypress
Point Golf Course. This Is the
murderous 220-yard hole which
includes 205 yards of ocean.
The President said, "I could
stand there for three years and
not carry that hole."
When he played it, he went the
so-called short or safe route,
hitting to the left of the green
and staying on solid ground.
Mr. Eisenhower's golf form
has improved a great deal since
his June 9 ileitis operation. On
the tee, his swing is smoother
and more even. This undoubted
ly is due to the fact that because
of his early summer surgery, he
is not trying to kill the ball.
His wood and short iron game
seems much more consistent than
it was a few months ago, but
quite frankly, his putting is
lousy. He has been taking three
putts from very short distances
away from the cup and this irri
tates him no end.
The chief executive was deep
ly impressed by the crowds that
lined his train route from San
Francisco to Monterey.
One of his staff members said
after the train trip, "I've never
