Ike's Social Security Plan Parallels FDR Striking Continuity Os Purpose, Thought Over 19-Yeor Span WASHINGTON UP — President Eisenhower's social security message came Just three days before the nineteenth anniversary of the day in 19®5 when FDR first proposed the idea* to congress. That was not the only coincidence which sent old tipiers thunrbing back through the files Thursday night to refresh mempries «< the past. There was some coincidence of language as well as of dates, and a striking continuity of purpose and thought. Mr. Roosevelt told congress ip 1935 that the jab could pot ail bp done gt oncg, tnat would be continuing need tor improvement of machinery and protection. Mr. Eisenhfwer’B msasage of Thursday picked up from Mr. Roo»4velt’s message of Jan. 17, 1»35, as neatly as s relay runner's baton passes from hand to iigpd. Mr. Eisenhower's message pucnb line was this: “Thp human problems Os Individual citizens are « proper and Important concern of our government.” Those 15 words established policy and policy is the foundation upon which any program mast stand. A congress would have rejected that policy. In fact,, congress did oppose it on a related emergency issue in 1931. Soma 30-million persons were covered (when Mr. Roosevelt got his first social security act in 1935. Coverage reaches 70-mililon now and Mr. Eisenhower plans vastly to extend that. ‘‘One problem that faces every individual is the provision of eco nornic security for his old age,” Mr. ißiaenhower told congress Thursday, "and economic security for his family in event of his daatb." And he continued: . . . Help individuals provide for that security.” ".. . , Reduce (both the fear and incidence of destitution to the. minimum.’' . . These are the proper aims of all levels of government.” That was (Mr. Eisenhower’s general approach to the problem Thursday. Here are some samples of FDR 19 years ago: * "Our (American program . . . was, and is, the security of the men, women and children of the nation against certain hazards and vicissitudes of life . . . the sound and nibcessary policy of federal legislation for economic security.” FDR regarded Social Security legislation as the 74th congress ‘‘supreme, achievement.” J When he signed the bill in August, 19®5, he said “we can never insure 100 per cent of the population against 100 per eent of rhe hazards and vicissitudes of life, but we have tried to frame a law which will give some measure of protection to -the average citizen and to his family . . .” GIRLSCOUT Girl 3couf tropp 17 mat at the ’lorn* of their leader, Mri.

Sheriff Marvtn Skaggs said the boy’s aunt in Muncie saw a picture of him on television and identified it as that of her A photographer for the Indianapolis Times, a Scripps-Howard newspaper, talked to another 13 year-old Muncie boy jn Indianapolis who said he and Jimmy left their homes Monday, planning to go to Florida. But the boy said he changed his mind and turauKl himself ov.er to juvenile authorities, who are holding him for his parents.

New Giant Entered In Auto Industry Hudson-Nash Merger Announced Thursday DETROIT, UP — A new giant entered the auto industry today to take its place behind the "Big Three.” - Merging of Hudson Motor Car Co. and Nash-Kelrinator Corp, under the name of American Motors Corp, makes the pew firm the fourth largest in the highly-eom-petitive industry. The long-rumored merger was announced Ute Thursday after a meeting of the boards of directors pf Hudson nad Nash. Only token opposition. if any, is expected when stockholders of both companies vote on the agreement in March. Nash and Hudson have combined assets of more than 335-million-dollars and working capital in excess of 100-million-dollars But this Still leaves American Motow a, good distance behind the industry’s top producers — Genera} Motor? Corp., Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Corp. Nash and Hudson sold a total of 244,507 automobiles last year. Estimate ß put the total yearly output of their combined facilities at twice that, but still well under GM which turned out 2,799,615 cays In 1953. Ford was second with 1,541,518, followed by Chrysler with 1,246,602. Announcement of the merger, biggest single automotive transaction since Chrysler bought out Dodge ip 1928, came as no surprise, It was knowSi that Nash and Hudson had been negotiating fpr six months on details of the agreement. Industry spokesmen said the merger was undertaken because of tjie increasingly difficult position of independent auto firms in com- . petipg with the "Big Three” under 1 current market conditions. The consolidation leaves only two major independents in the field, Packard and Studebaker. The Southern Pine Association announced recently that it had topped it previous reforestation records with the planting of 65, 967,Vu0 seedlings during the 195253 season. Dousiana lumber rnanu facturers led the 12 southern states with 26,509,009 seedlings planted, while Al ftljaina was sec ' ond and Arkansas third. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur.

. x . A . f' ‘ V • a IS* ~ Refuse Divorce On Adultery Grounds Appellate Court Refuses Divorce INDIANAPOLIS (UP —An appellate court has refused a divorce on grounds of adultery for a doctor who said his wife confessed the Infidelity.- -' The Indiana appellate court Thursday ruled such a decree “would 'be a ‘go sign’ for easy divorce” and added "we are not ready to go Hollywood.” The nature at the evidence was the key to the case. The doctor said a friend told him he had sexual relations with the doctor’s wife. The physician said his wife confirmed the act-but later said she was only trying to make him jealous. The friend signed an affidavit denying the affair and that he taunted the doctor with it. The persons involved in the case were Dr., Carl A. Nelson, Mrs. Harriet 'L. Nelson and Frank Switzer, all ot West (Lebanon. The appellate court overruled a circuit court decision granting the doctor a divorce, and ordered a retrial on the wife’s motion that the friend be allowed to testify. ‘There is not a scintilla of evidence in the record from any other witness which would tend to corraborate, JfeSL-jiactor'A charges,' said appellate court judge Wilbur A. ißoyse"Even in this modern atomic age, adultery is regarded by most people as a serious offense . . . there must be substantial evidence of probative value to authorize the granting of a divorce/’
