"somewhat less confident” about their personal financial situation than a year ago. A belief that “prices are too high” was the most frequent reason cited' for holding back on purchases. 'More people this year feel prices of durable goods are going to decline. Government economists were not too discouraged by the report. It was about what they had been predicting. And they also pointed out that the survey still leaves a strong possibility that business this year will be second only to the ’record prosperity of 1953. Commerce secretary Sinclair Weeks and other administration officials have been urging business men to intensify sales efforts to help reverse the economic decline.

Two-Headed Boy In Critical Condition 1 Malformed Infant 111 Os Pneumonia INDIANAPOLIS. UP — Indiana’s two-headed baby has pneu- ’ monia and te in “critical” condi- ’ tion under an oxygen tent, doctors 1 said today. X-rays showed pneumonia on the "weak” Side of the malformed infant—the side which physicians ’ believe has only one of its three lungs. ‘ A mid morning report from Rli ley hospital for children said the infant’s condition was “fair." Its temperature was normal and a rash which broke out Thursday was "not as pronounced." The circulatory xiisturbance caused labored breathing ia one head. The 3-month-old child, son of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Hartley of Petersburg. Ind., was rushed to the Indiana University Medical Center here Thursday when there was no improvement in a "blue” condition which developed in the child's left side, named Daniel Kaye. It was beleived at first the baby might have measles as well as circulatory trouble. But a thorough examination was conducted, and the baby was placed in a ward with other children, indicating a rash on the weaker left side was not a contagious disease. Dr. Joseph Elbert, the family’s physician at Petersburg, ordered the child Returned to the hospital here where he was kept for several weeks after the Dec. li birth. Elbert said it was possible the infant had a congenital heart condition. While physicians took X-rays the stronger side, named Ronald Ray, cried lustily. Earlier examinations at the hospital showed Daniel’s chest contained only one lung, while the other side had two. The body is joined onto one below the waist. Elbert said throughout the fiveday period in which Daniel Kaye's breathing failed, the other head did “wonderfully.” SOLONS DEMAND (Couttnued From Page One) senate foreign relations committee took note of widespread unofficial reports on the staggering implications of the H-bomb and told the senate. 2lt is Incumbent on the government to inform the people of the facts."

SENATE GROUP (Continued From Page One) teat the Democratic proposal to raise personal exemptions. But the administration still has a fight on its hands when the senate votes on the bill. Even if the plan passes the senate where the Democrats have a one-vote edge over the Republicans, some key senators believe it almost certainly will not win final congressional approval in view of the house action. Treasury secretary George M. Humphrey wired House Republican leaders that the action was “fortunate for the country” since the reform bill is the "cornerstone Os the administration’s program to make America a better country for us all.” House speaker Joseph W. Martin Jr., said the vote shows the President must rely mainly on Republicans in congress to “make his administration a success.” In the decisive ballot defeating the Democrat plan, nine Democrats joined 201 Republican® to sustain the_adminißtraJtioii,

See Demonstration Os Speed Watch Demonstration Held By Indiana Police Headed by prosecutor Lewis L. Smith, sheriff Robert Shraluka and chief of policy James Borders, several Adams county law enforcement officers representing Decatur. Berne and Geneva saw the state police demonstration of the latest weapon against reckless drivers and speeders Thursday afternoon. - A Demonstration by- state police officers of the use of a speed watch, newest, automatic timing equipment with which to catch speeders, was given at the south edge of Ossian. More than IVO officers from Adams. Wells and Allen counties watched the demonstration. The speed watch is a simple stop watch attached to two electric tubes to be stretched across a highway, 132 feet distant. One tube starts the watch when the car or truck strikes the first wire and the second stops the watch 132 feet distant when the same car crosses it. There is a chart on the box which houses the stop watch and the officer at a glance can tell how fast the vehicle was travelling. It was explained that the new equipment would be used primarily in school zones and speed slow-down areas through towns. The equipment is manufactured at Marshall. Mich., and the price is nominal, it was reported. Indiana state police are planning on placing a number of the speed watches throughout the state. During the demonstration it was pointed out that the operating officer sees and records the violation. Some equipment previously tried was such that the officer did not see the violation but depended entirely on the electrical equipment. This fact was contested in several courts. Meeting Tuesday On Conservancy Plans A meeting on the proposed Maumee Valley conservancy district will take place Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Monroe grade school building. The meeting has been called by the educational committee which includes Mayor John Doan, chairman; Delmore Wechter, J. J. Yost and Sylvan Sprunger. Attending will be city and town boards of Decatur, Monroe, Berne and Geneva; township extension leaders and chairmen and S. and E. leaders tot the townships.

Stevens Lashes At Criticism Os Army Hits Irresponsible Criticism Os Force CHARLESTON, 8. C., UP — Army secretary Robert T. Stevens struck out at “irresponsible criticism" of the army today and said he intends to defend the service's “prestige and integrity*’ Stevens appeared to be referring to the army's angry fight with Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy in his speech at Gen. Mark Clark's inauguration as president of The Citadel. It was Steve ns’ firs t major address since the row broke out last month, but he made no direct mention of the Wisconsin 'Republican. He described the army today as “hard-muscled, tough-minded . . . well trained and superbly led." With an "unbelievable variety” of both atomic and.conventional weapons, he said, the army is attaining a puach which seemed “beyond achievement” a few years back. ■ He outlined the role played by the army throughout American history, in both peace and war. Then he said: “In the light of this record, and the outstanding character of our professional military men, it is deplorable that the army as a whole—more particularly its officer corps, and especially its senior officers—should too often be the target for irresponsible criticism." At another point, Stevens said “I reaffirm to ail America today what a wonderful United States army we have!” MISSING BANKER (Continued From P«» One> townspeople had sought to guarantee Reynolds immunity from prosecution if he would return, the case had since been taken “out of our bands."
