I heart attack. I Cobo. 63. was stricken at his j home *Thursday. Doctors at Henry Ford Hospital, where he was taken, said he rallied several times before he dropped into a coma. His condition was described as an “acute coronary occlusion.” Cobo, a native Detroiter who described himself as a "small business backer at heart,” was mayor in Detroit’s non - partisan government since 1949. He did not seek relection to the post this year and was scheduled to step down Jan. 3. City Council President Louis C. Miriani, who had served as acting mayor several times, took over Cobo’s post under provisions of the Detroit charter. Miriani was running for mayor and in a primary election last Tuesday swamped the other nine candidates by a huge margin. Cobo worked in Detroit government 23 years, eight of them as mayor. He tried without success last year to stop Democratic Gov. G. Mennen Williams in his bid for an unprecedented fifth term. But although President Eisenhower picked up Michigan’s electoral votes. Williams handed Cobo his first defeat at the polls. Cobo took the loss hard, particularly tho wide margin with which Williams carried heavily - Democratic Detroit.

They will be picked up by helicopter at Theodore Francis Green Airport near Providence Saturday and flown to Newport for the meeting, Hagerty said. Capt. E. P Aurand, the President’s naval aide, will meet the Arkansas governor. Hagerty said there was an alternative plan to take Faubus to the meeting by automobile if bad weather interfered with the airlift. Faubus said he understood he and his party would spend the night "in the Newport area.” One of the governor’s aides said Faubus is not making the trip with the intention of capitulating to federal wishes in the Central High School integration matter. Instead, the aide said, Faubus asked for the person-to-person meeting with Eisenhower for the purpose of “conferring.”

Mass Inoculation Os College Pupils Seeking To Break Epidemic Os Flu ANDERSON, Lnd. (W — State health ofifcials today continued mass inoculation of students at Anderson College to break an epidemic of flu which struck the campus this week. They said there was no reason to "get panicky.” Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. A. C. Offutt said 22 of the original 65 students felled by the disease Monday and Tuesday have returned to classes. The addition of 11 new cases Thursday pushed the list to “more than 90.” Offutt said all the cases at the college still are “clinically classified as Asian flu, although we have not received laboratory confirmation.” "We’re continuing to point out that this is a short term illness,” he said, "and there is no reason to get panicky over the out-> break.” Offutt said the situation at Anderson is "under control," but added, "this does not mean there won’t be more cases.” “This is not the serious illness that the 1918 influenza was,” Offutt said, “but we are encouraging people to se their doctors and take advantage of the vaccine when it becomes generally available to the public.” RESISTANCE (Continued from Page One) passing automobiles.

AREA IN (Conti nu ed from Pag* One) by the legislative branch and order state aid withheld from a school he feels violated the law. The state’s biggest city, Indianapolis, appeared ready to give up reluctantly a campaign to keep the capital on "fast” time as it did last winter. The Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce met shortly after the governor’s conference and issued a statement that it "respects the wishes of the governor" and would not press for "fast” time tliis winter. f However, the chamber urged that Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee get together and work toward placing all three states in the Eastern time zone along with Ohio and Michigan and other states along their eastern borders. The Indianapolis decision was expected to influence dozens of cities and towns in Central Indiana which traditionally follow the lead of the city where many of their residents work and shop. Cutting off state support would be a hard blow to schools. Fort Wayne alone receives $1,407,010 in state aid each year-

Truck Reciprocity Laws Under Study Representatives Os 12 States Meeting CHICAGO (UP) — Representatives of 12 states met here today to compare notes on truck licensing reciprocity laws. The session was called by Illinois where a new truck licensing law becomes effective Jan 1, 1958, and affects agreements with other states. Representatives came from lowa, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Wisconsin, Nebraska. Kansas and Oklahoma. The state of Illinois has agreements with all, but the North Dakota agreement does not cover heavy trucks. Principal changes in the new Illinois truck law require registration not only in the state of incorporation but also in the state where the principal office of a trucking firm is located. □ James M. Hare, Michigan secretary of state, said that the new Illinois regulations might so complicate the reciprocity issue that the federal government may ’be forced to exerdse more control, the states less. d.j. Crawford of North Dakota reported that his., state recently, made drastic changes in its truck licensing system, switching from a unit fee to an axle-miie tax. e-R ciprocity with Illinois on trucks over 24,000 pounds ended Aug. 26. Den Schutz told the session that Wisconsin had made a complete overhaul of its truck licensing regulations after a two-year studyJohn M. Ropes, chairman of the lowa Commerce Commission, said that lowa laws also had been revised, but that “I don’t anticipate any reciprocity problems.” Sam Young, an assistant secretary of state in Illinois, presided at the sessions. The delegates were to examine area-wide reciprocity agreements achieved in southern and western states as a possible model for the Midwest. Among the problems the Illinois officials raised were the overloading of trucks, illegal practices of truckers in reporting mileage or in buying one set of plates and using them on two vehicles and the- complexities of licensing with ownership and operation of a vehicle assigned to different states.
