REPUBLICAN STATEMENT In less than two months you are going to be fa Led with one of the most important decisions of your lifetime. It is a decision which you alone must make. No one can assume the responsibil ity for you. On Nov. 6, you and millions of other Americans will decide who will be our next president. It would belabor the obvious to point out why your decision is so grave and important. How ever, the mere casting of a bal lot on Nov. 6 will not relieve any of us from this responsibility. We must all take the time and expend the effort to consider, weigh and decide what is the best for ourselves and the coun try as a whole. In reaching this decision, we would certainly be foolish to ignore the .record. In 1952, we elected as president of the United States, Dwight D. Eisen- Babson Opposes Four-Day Week For Labor Forces Wellesley, Mass. U.PJ Econ omist Roger W. Babson said to day that the proposed four-day work week would be "suicidal" for America. In a campaign speech in Col orado Saturday, Vice President Richard M. Nixon said Repub licans "see the time not too far distant when we can have a four-day week and family life will be even more fully enjoyed by Americans." Might Be Some Logic "If there now were a surplus of labor as in the early 30s there might be some logic in re ducing the weekly working hours," said Babson. "But to do it today would be suicidal for all people. Any such move would of course temporarily put up wages, which could be met by increased prices. Hence, the wage workers would not gain much, if anything, from this in flationary move." Babson said that In normal times, especially in prosperous times as at present, it would be "a crime to retard production." 'Cuts Tree at Roots' "All prosperity is ultimately based on increasing production, which in turn tends to keep down retail prices and the cost of living. In other words, while increasing wages is largely a question of bookkeeping, any thing which retards production is 'cutting the tree at its roots.' "To tell the story in another way, inflation (which is our 'enemy number one' now being faced and feared) is the relation of consumption to production. Consumption can be increased by increasing advertising and other selling efforts. But retard ed production cannot be offset in any permanent and satisfac tory manner." hower. Regardless of how we voted in that election, we all hoped that he would be the great president his past record promised. President Eisenhower has faced many important prob lems during the past four years. He has met issues squarely. He has led us through a most diffi cult time. He has placed us upon the path of peace, progress and prosperity. Historians of the fu ture will not escape the amazing fact that this has been one pres ident who has not only fulfilled all of his campaign promises .but has gone even further in secur ing to the American people the peace and prosperity they all so earnestly desire. Even though he was required to make great personal sacri fices, President Eisenhower has agreed to again serve his coun try. Unless we return this great man to the White House in No vember, the rest of the world will undoubtedly view with won der the political actions of the American people. We are enjoy ing the greatest economic pros perity of all time. Americans have a standard of living not only unknown in many parts of the world, but a standard of liv ing that other citizens of the world cannot even imagine. Although it appears that inter national tension will be with us for many years to come, let us not forget that this country is at peace. We are not engaged in any wars or "police actions." This was President Eisenhower's promise in 1952. This promise,' along with many others, he has fulfilled. We can do no less than return President Eisenhower to the White House this November.

California Blaze Diverted by Fighters San Bernardino, Calif. iU.R) A small army of 1,500 fire fight ers aided by dying winds today diverted a rampaging forest fire from Lake Arrowhead and other mountain resorts.

The evening bulletin issued Meat Negotiators Seeking Solution Chicago (U.R) Negotiators searching for a settlement be tween 25.000 striking workers and Swift and Co. adjourned Monday without reaching agree ment. Officials said another session will be called soon, possibly to day.
