Nixon and Sen. John F. Kennedy are giving the Middle West the saturation' treatment in their bid for the Farm Belt votes. As the candidates crisscross the prairies, Nixon is battling to retain traditional Midwest support for the Republican party. But the Democrats are be ginning to ' smile again in states where less than a month ago they were sorely troubled. Party leaders patted each other on the back, for in stance, the night this month in Abraham Lincoln's home town of Springfield, 111., when Kennedy basked, in the ap plause of 8,000 persons. When the crowd finally let him speak he shouted: "Who said Illinois Is a Re publican state?" Kennedy, a Pulitzer prize winning historian as well as the Democratic presidential candidate, knew only too well that the record books say Illinois is Republican terri tory. The same could be said for in Farm Belt States; ican Support Republ Air Force Tanker Crash Kills Seven 5 Langley' AFB, -0IPD-A giant Air Force tanker plane crash ed on an abandoned bombing range and exploded shortly after takeoff Tuesday night, killing ail seven men aboard. 1 All seven bodies were re? covered from the fragmented wreckage several hours after the crash.

Labor - Management Relations Committee Gives Suggestions Salem-UPD-The Legislative Interim Committee on Labor Management Relations has submitted a lengthy document to the legislative counsel's of fice, here containing Its rec ommendations to the next legislature. . In a covering letter, Chair man Harry D. Boivin,' (D Klamath Falls), said the com mittee's work "spanned a difficult period embracing the national steel strike, Portland newspaper strike and bitter struggle over labor-management relations in Congress." .. "For this reason, the com mittee 'proceeded with ex treme care, considering every facet of the situation thor oughly and approving only highest-priority proposals." ': Major recommendations are In the fields of elections pro cedure, unfair labr practices and workmen's compensation. ' Controversy is expected over the 'unfair labor prac tices bill, which ' provides a state law patterned after the federal law to cover employ ers not under jurisdiction of the National Labor Relations Board NLRB. Organized labor is expected to oppose it on grounds that It is unnecessary. At present, workmen's compensation is in sured by the state and em ployers make contribtuions to the state industrial accident commission. . Under the proposed plan, an employer would have three options. He could continue to be insured by a state fund, he could elect to be insured by a private insurance firm, or he could be self-insured. One important feature is that if he exercises either of the last two options, both would be subject to state supervi sion. The elections measure calls for the state conciliation 3 in iw i f j 1 )hVVt- tr; "The proposed Billboard Measure will HURT Oregon business" DONT BE MISLED.

Sarasue's father, at sea with the Military Sea Transport Service, was 5,000 mile away. (UPI Telephoto) Youth Killed Knox, Ind. (UPD Hundreds of persons passed through a Knox funeral home in the past weeks. , ' ' Each looked at the body of a teen-age boy, about 14 to 17 years old, but no one could identify him. . The youth .was killed Oct. 2 at the wheel of a stolen car. The youth carried no form of identification But police were -hopeful of identifying him because the car was stol en in this area and the boy's clothing bore two name tags that appeared to be either "Goden" or "Godin" The boy's red and yellow shirt and black leather jack et carried Canadian labels which were sent to police in Canada But Canadian police could provide no clue to his identity. And the FBI was un able to trace his fingerprints. After waiting 16 days for someone to claim the boy's body, authorities decided to bury him. The Rev. James Burroughs, a Methodist minister, planned to conduct the funeral today, with burial in Oak Park cemetery. "It's a shame something like this could happen to t young boy," Coroner Ray mond A. Brenan said. "All those people and not a soul that had ever seen him be fore." ; London-flJPD-British Ambas sador to West Germany Sir Christopher Steel, here for the wedding of his 27-year-old daughter, said . with ury diplomatic candor: . , , "I am . back just long enough to get rid of her." rni i, ' f ' ! t w ' ' V f " V KIDNAP REPORTED Dolores Anne .

Michigan. But in Detroit this week, GOP Rep. Alvin Bent ley, running for the Senate, canceled a meeting when only a handful of persons showed up. Bentley issued a blunt state ment that "if the lethargy and apparent lack of enthus iasm and interest in the Re publican party is not corrected immediately, I cannot help but be extremely pessimistic regarding the party s chances of victory in Michigan this fall." It is a truism in politics that crowds - good or bad - don't count when the votes are add ed up. . ' But more reliable sign posts show the Democrats are mak ing a horse race of the cam paign ' in such traditionally Republican states as Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Min nesota. And they're talking hopefully of tucking the elec tion into the bag in Missouri and Ohio. j The new Democratic op timism is based on the impact of Kennedy's personal appear ances and of his television de bates with Vice President Richard M. Nixon - particu larly the first one; ' '"" It also stems from a waning of the religion issue which dominated most political talk In the Midwest at the start of the campaign. Farm unrest, particularly in the area's western and northern sectors, likewise is a major reason for Democratic optimism. But Nixon Is giving away no points on the big issue for the Middle West and all of the nation - the issue of which candidate can keep world Speed in Study of Pear Decline Asked Sacramento-IUPB-T h e State Board of Agriculture has ask ed the state and federal gov: ernments to step up research in the battle against the dis ease known , as pear, tree de cline. .'.'. '';;'.;.' California, which produces half of the nation's pear crop, has been hit by the disease on 100,000 of its pear trees this year, mainly in El Dorado and Placer counties. State Director of Agricul ture William E. Warne told the Board of Agriculture that the disease now. , has been found in Santa Cruz and Men docino pear orchards. ' , El Dorado and Placer coun ties have been declared a federal production disaster area, entitling ' pear growers to three per cent government loans .to replace trees hit by decline. , peace. The "gut issues" of farm prices and industrial employ ment still swing a lot of votes in the farm towns and big cities of the Midlands. Hard fought battles for state offices will decide a lot of ballots, too. But in such agricultural heartlands as Iowa, Kansas, and Ohio reports coincided that the voters were worried most over world peace. That's the issue which has won Nixon and running mate Henry Cabot Lodge their warmest response in frequent visits to the Midwest. It is the same issue to which Kennedy constantly returns after lam basting the Republicans for economic declines on the farm and in the cities.

At first glance, the consumer might well think that a certain item would sell for less if the cost of advertising was deducted from the retail price. But, before drawing conclusions, let us look at the wonderful mass production machine we call the American Marketing system. ' , ;' 1 A manufacturer brings out a new product, spending thousands upon thousands of dollars in designing, experimenting, perfect ing, testing and setting up production and distribution.' In some .... cases millions of dollars are invested before there is a single sale. At this point the item would be priced too high for popular con sumption. Only a few would know about it and only a few could . afford to buy, But the manufacturer has a solution. He invests additional dol- ' lars in advertising. With these sales messages he is able to tell millions of people about the new product ..... its advantages and desirability. If a product is good, people buy many of them. ; Manufacture is increased-as sales climb. Mass production is in full swing and the cost to the consumer comes down and down. .- , , 1 ) . i.
