Bloomingfon Paper
Supports Stevenson
Bloomington, 111. (U.R) The
Bloomington, 111., Pantagraph,
partly owned by Adlai E. Stev
enson, will abandon the "neu
tral" stand it took in 1952 to
support Stevenson this year, the
newspaper announced Sunday.
In a five-point explanation oc
cupying the entire editorial sec
tion, the newspaper called the
President's health "a major is
sue" and criticized the adminis
tration's conduct of foreign pol
icy. The Pantagraph said domestic
policy was largely a continua
tion of Democratic policies. The
newspaper called Stevenson a
"free man" who won his nom
ination against the opposition of
former President Harry Truman.
Stevenson also was favored,
the newspaper said, because he
is younger than President Eisen
hower and because he is from
Bloomington.
Stevenson was reared in the
central Illinois community and
received h i s early education
there. He is a stockholder in
the Pantagraph along with his
sister and brother-in-law, Mrs.
and Mr. Ernest Ives, but they
do not hold a controlling inter

He Will get help front DOUG McKAY
He cannot get help from Wayne Morse who ridiculed
Eisenhower's plan to end the Korean War, calling
it "a grandstand play" and who bitterly fought the
President's plan to prevent war at Formosa predict
ing the Chinese Reds would call the President's bluff
w ithin 120 days and who now attacks Eisenhower's
handling of the Suez crisis. Let's elect a man who
will help us retain peace

Swift Pianls Get
Ready to Receive
Meat; Strike Ends
Chicago (U.R) Swift and Co.
today readied its plants to re
ceive livestock for the first time
since members of two unions
walked out on strike Sept. 20.
The strike ended Sunday.
Both sides agreed to a contract
which contains wage increases
totalling 25 cents over a three
year period but omits mention
of a union shop, one of the big
issues in the dispute.
A company spokesman said
the 25,000 employees involved
on the work stoppage would be
called back to their jobs as
soon as they are needed. He said
full production would be under
way as soon as possible.
Claim Victory
The unions claimed a "tre
mendoi'.ts victory" in spite of
their failure to gain the union
shop clause accepted by most
of the other major packers.
"We regret that Swift has not
shown- the same understanding
of modern labor management
regulations as have other meat
packers," the unions said. "This
is especially true on the issue
of the union shop."
The AFL-CIO United Pack
inghouse Workers and the Amal
gamated Meat Cutters will meet
here Oct. 7 to ratify the agree
ment with Swift.
The pact calls for an immedi
ate general wage boost of 10
cents an hour, 7V4 cents more
Sept. 1, 1957, and a VA cents
increase Sept. 1, 1958. Wages
also will be hiked by increasing
rates for job classifications by
as much as 13 cents.
Each J4 point rise in the con
sumer index will bring wages up
1 cent an hour. Other provisions
call for improved sick pay bene
fits, separation pay for men who
lose their jobs because of in
creased use of automation, and
reduction of geographic pay dif
ferences.
Before the agreement Swift
employees received an average
hourly rate of S2.38.

Chicago (U.R) Every state
in the nation with the exception
of two is in the business of bring
ing new businesses and indus
tries within its borders.
They are scrapping for bigger
and better slices of an economic
melon that has been swelling for
15 years and shows every pro
mise of getting even bigger.
A United Press survery shows
that only Texas and California
spend no state funds for such
promotional purpose. They leave
the job to chambers of com
merce, private development
groups or local governments.
But the other 46 are openly
competing with one another. Ar

Presidents
A native of Belfast, Northern
Ireland, calls attention to the
fact that of the 32 presidents the
United States has had so far, 10
were of Northern Ireland ances

Jackson, Polk, Grant, Buchanan,
Johnson, Arthur, Cleveland,
Benjamin Harrison, ' McKinley
and Wilson.
So They Say
Are the astrological claims
as to matrimonial compatability
worth considering? Let's check
some celebrated marriages.
Some that failed. Some that suc
ceeded. Take Marilyn Monroe
and Joe DiMaggio. Marilyn is
Gemini. Joe, a Sagittarian. As
trologers say these signs are "in
compatabile." A Sagittarian
(Nov. 23-Dec. 21) cannot forget
his first sweetheart. It was prob
ably the wife of a Sagittarian
who exclaimed bitterly, "My
husband's old flame is burning
me up." Sagittarians are easy
to get, hard to hold, are "mar
ried bachelor" types. Takes a
woman of strong character and
much patience to break them
into matrimonial harness. Sagit
tarian males dislike people who
talk boringly about themselves. ;
They favor simplicity in femi- j
nine attire and make up. Gem-:
ini (May 22-June 21) females can
never decide whether they really
love a man. Usually have six
sweethearts before they marry.
After marriage they keep won
dering if they made the right
choice. They are difficult to un
derstand, hard to get along with.
Are very independent. A hus- j
band who tries to regulate the
life or career of a Gemini wife
or in any way dictate to her is
flirting with domestic dynamite.
Or so say the stargazers.
Pleas. Not.
When the Dolly sisters. Rose ;
and Jenny, first came to this

Remains Serious

girl was still in serious
condition at a local hospital to

inflicting serious abdominal
wounds to the child.
Officers identified the tot as
Carol Sue Bowman, the daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Lester Bow
man of O'Brien. She was staying
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joe
Morgan during the absence of
her parents. I
Mrs. Morgan said she could
not explain the presence of the
shell in the fireplace but said
the child had been putting pa
pers and trash from outside the
home into the fireplace and pos- j
sibly had picked up the live ,

in the first six months of this

Record Expansion '
A department official said that
despite this summer's steel strike
it appears 1956 will surpass the
record industrial expansion year
of 1953. That year plant and
equipment expenditures totaled
S28.3 billion.
All around the country, yawn

the industrial boom:

near Ogden, Utah.

Among the Married
Is your charming matrimonial
mate over 40? Don't tell me. It
is none of my business. How
ever, she may be interested in
knowing that in 1952 in the
United States over 83,0D0 worn-'
en in the 40 to 44 age group had '
blessed events. Some for the ;
first time. Some on the same j
day that their daughters became j
mothers. Also in the same year j
5,578 women of 45 or over gave I
birth! And some for the first
time. So, mister, just because 1
your wife is crowding 50 don't ,
get the idea you will never pace :
the hospital waiting room floor !
again. Most assuredly that is i
something about which you i
never can tell.
What Do You Know? !
Are you a well informed :
sports fan? Or do you just think !
you are? If you can answer the !

"Our liberty depends

Thomas Jefferson.
Tyranny's first target
is a free press, but
so long as truth is
made available to the
people, we have no need

of our democratic system.
Our uncensored American press guards the open
door to a better way of life, not only for Americans,
but also for oppressed peoples everywhere,

New factories mean more jobs.
More jobs mean greater tax re
ceipts to build highways and
schools, more money in consum
ers' pocketbooks. The swelling
consumer market creates a de
mand for more industries.
So far it's a merry-go-round.
And states like Arizona, Nevada,

stood aloof from smokestacks
and machines, are climbing on
board.

A sharp decrease in home building naturally

This caused the lumber market to drop sharply.
