President's Greeting:— Freedom's Forum, is the slogan of National Newspaper week, which began today. President Eisenhower gave national recognition to the observance with his greeting to newspapers and cittsens in the following message: The nation joins the editors, publishers and reporters of this country in observance of National Newspaper Week. No institution is more necessary to our way of life than a free press. A sign of free government, a . free press is a primary source of that government’s strength. It informs the people so that they may well discharge their responsibilities as cßisens. It provides them and their elected representatives with a wide range of fact and opinion which must be weighed by all who are concerned with the well-being of our country. Those who struggle to keep America informed can enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that their contribution to the cause of freedom is mighty. They well deserve the respect and gratitude and support of all our people. And as an American newspaper we send greetings to our President. —O-—0 G/amorous Spuds:— Do you like your potatoes fried, boiled, baked—or glamorous? Don't get excited. No new way ha«"been l feum -w-’prepare”pot t»" toes—yet. But the National Potato Council (did you ever hear of it?) has decided on a new campaign aimed at making the potato more attractive, more appetising, more saleable. The spud council is planning an extensive advertising campaign to stress the food value of potatoes. It will be bucking the tide, but there’s no reason why the trend cannot be reversed. , If some one could come up wi:h a non-fattening potato, this whole problem would be solved. People don't object to potatoes because they're tasteless, or because they lack glamor. In fact, moet people like potatoes, but try to avoid them for fear of getting fat—or fatter. Maybe the solution is to convince Americans that they shouldn’t worry about their weight. The approach to thia problem should be interesting. Knowing ths power of advertising, It may be that we're about to witness the revtsal of the potato. "X .. 1

Vests Worn to Treat , Rib Breaks or Fractures

|y MSMUM N. BUNMSBt, M-t. The vest to very much on view these days in the medical world. It to being used in the treatment of broken er fractured ribs. Such a fracture to one of the most painful and disabling of disorders. Many types of rib splints have been devised in an effort to ease the discomfort, and many people have had their riba taped for this reason. However, there to often some difficulty with the use of tape or splints on women or hairy chested men. The chief complaint of the patient with a broken rib to pain on breathing or movement. The splints or tape are effective because they limit the movement of the involved rib. The rib will usually heal by itself within six to nine weeks but meanwhile the person may have to go through weeks of painful disability. Recently a man's well fitting vest has been used in treating a broken rib. It to put on and ths

Generals Ridgway and Van Fleet have their strategy problems, but this week Americans like to watch the maneuvering of players by Generals Durocher and Loper. —■o 0 Soybean combining will slow down for a few days due to ths heavy downpour. Farmers have been making good progress in the harvest of the crop and now await dry weather to finish the job. Many truck loads of beans have already been delivered to the Central Soya Company plant in this city. »■ 0 o—— - The administratlon aHprovH the merger of several automobile companies, but Attorney General Brownell has reversed himself in dealing with proposed consolidations of steel companies. He ruled out the merger of Bethlehem Steel, '’and the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Companies, saying the multi-milllon dollar merger would be unfair'*to competitors. If consolidation of auto companies is good for business, why penalize steel? Construction of new US highway 27 is one step farther along with the announcement that the state highway commission will receive bids Oct. 26 for construction of about eight miles of reinforced concrete pavement. Preliminary work may be done this fall, but actual construction will not get underway until next spring. Starting at a point just north of Monmouth, the road will be rebuilt to the Adams-Allen county line. Highway engineers say that eventually a four-lane freeway will be constructed from Fort Wayne to Decatur and in view of the amount of traffic carried, on this route this later improvement should not be postponed much longer. o—-00 —-0 Commuters will doubtless hail with joy the proposal of Edward R. Fay, Jr., a congressional candidate from Connecticut, who works In New York City. He favors revising the income tax law so that commuters and others could deduct, as necessary expenses, fares ■ paid to public transportation for going back and forth to work. The idea should help his campaign. The suggestion seems rather reasonable. A desirable effect which Fay does not mention is that it would encourage business men in large city areas who now drive to work to use public transportation instead. That would relieve the congestion on the roads. It would also keep afloat train and bus service which need passengers.

Check Leiters Sent To Plant Employes FBI Is Called In On New Castle Case NEW CASTLE, Ind. (INS)—The federal bureau of investigation checked today to learn the source of letters mailed to employes of Chrysler Motor Corp., New Castle which appeared designed to cause ill feeling between labor and management. The mimeographed letters were mailed from Richmond. Ind. and the text said they were “issued by the Communist party of Indiana.” The mimeographed forms were MmtHT to recently by Studebaker Corp- employes at South Bend, and employes of P. R. Mallory and American Bearing division of National Lead company, both of Indianapolis. The letters urged the New Castle employes to reject an appeal by L. L. Colbert, Chrysler president, for a wage-cutting action similar to that taken by Studebaker several weeks ago. Studebaker workers had agreed to take an hourly wage cut in an effort to boost automotive sales and increase their total paychecks. The New Castle plant at Chrysler now is employing only half ofits production peak. The "Communist” letters said that Studebaker workers “are already beginning to see that the company pulled a fast one and that corporations in all industries want to put over the Stutle pattern — more production and less pay." 1—
