But he explained that th® cushI ion no longer is necessary, and the armed forces now can be reduced below the goal set last year. The defense secretary also made it clear that the administration is going ahead with the scheduled manpow'er cuts despite army opposition. ~ Without referring to Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, army thief of Stiff; Wilson told the house armed services committee that ‘‘the army from its point of view would still recommend some higher strength fcr the active forces of the army." „ I But, - he added, "in my opinion I the program we have adopted is a sound one.” Ridgway is reportedi to be opposing-theadministration’s ■ plan 'to reduce armed forces’ per-1 sonnel by 403.000 men by June 30,! 1956. This would include a jteduc- j tion in army personnel by 100. one t men by next June 30 \V i 1 son conceded that *t‘he navy and the marine corps have some minor reservations” regarding the administration > program. “and ; would perhaps like a few addition al personnel.” | But. he emphasized, he does not i “see any need Her any important increases" in ependltures or per-1 sonnel unless war breaks out. Wilson told the House group that new weapons, including those capable of using nuclear power, I are being rapidly introduced in i the armed forces. Once that is completed, he stated, the military will “constitute a force of tremen-1 dous striking power.” ————— | Trade in a Good Town — Decatur I

Anthony Eden Urges Peaceful Settlement Backs Eisenhower On Formosa Crisis LONDON (INS) — British for- ' eign secretary Sir Anthony Eden i urged peaceful negotiations today I in an attempt to solve What he I called the “dangerous situation" tn the Formosa strait He told Laborite questioners in the house of commons that “the British government is convinced that the object of the United States administration also has been to reduce the ' risks of any extension of the fighting” He said President Eisenhower’s message to congress asking authority to defend Nationalist-held Formosa and its approaches "emphasized the purely defensive nai lure of the arrangement with the j Chinese Nationalists" Eden, in answer to former I prime minister Clement Attlee, the opposition ‘ Laborite leader, I said: “Her Majesty’s government has I been in close and constant touch i with the United States governt ment in-recent months concerning-i the dangerous situation arising I out of Chinese Communist attacks ■ ' upon the islands off the coast of China in the. Formosa strait "We in this country respectPresident Eisenhower and know he w-outd sanction the- rr*r of U.S. forces only with the greatest reluctance and when in his view the situation constituted an immediate serious threat to the security of Formosa and the Pescadores." Farm Bureau Ins. Plans Expansion Names Swicthed To Permit Expansion COLUMBUS (INS.) — The Farm Bureau Insurance companies today announced a switch in names to make possible expansion into all 48 states of the nation. I All three companies—auto, life I and fire—will carry the heading iof “Nationwide Insurance” start-L | ing Sept.

The telecast origin- ; ated at Farm Bureau headquarters “ in Columbus. The three Farm Bureau firms. ’ or "Nationwide" as they will be j called, now operate in 13 eastern ’ states and the District of Colum- ; bia. However, to expand into other ! states it was necessary to change the name to avoid confusion with , : already established firms. Executive vice president Bow- . man Doss said the company’s rapI id growth over hte past 23 years showed a jump in policies from 179.000 to 2,900,000 and in assets ! from $2,633.00(7 to about $210,000,'OOO. >•'" Once it was decided to expand, ' the hunt for a new name took two I years before the decision boiled i down to a list of 12 and the board .of directors finally made the I choice.

New Zealand " To Make Appeal On Cease-Fire Drafts Resolution Asking U. N. To Act In Formosa Crisis UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (INS)— Informed sources reported today that New Zealand had drafted a resolution for submission to the UN security council calling for a cease-fire in the Formosa straits. The sources said the resolution, which is still subject to revision, contains as appeal to both Nationalist and Red Chinn to agree on a truce and avert the threat of a major conflict in the Far East. According to the informants, the propo-al ha* been ready for some time and the only question facing the Sponsor atid its supporters, which reportedly include the U. 5.,is when to ask for formal UN action oa the Formosa crisis. Tills latter point, it is said, ha* been the subject of private consultations in New York and Washington between New Zealand, Britain, and U. S- and other interested countries. In Canberra. Australian Labor ! Party leader Herbert Evatt called I the Forniosajsituation an immediate and grave threat to international peace. He asked for urgent intervention by the UN. No indications were available at UN headquarters as to when the ' uestion would be brought up for formal action. One British source said speculatively that it could come up by Friday of this week. Top-level UN officials and members of the New Zealand delegaI tion to UN said they knew nothing of any proposal to raise the Formosa isue at this time. Western observers were confi dent, nevertheless, thait *<eomething will break sopn” in the worlfl, organization’ regarding the explosive Formosan situation. They based this belief on increasing fears that Red China might carry out its threat to invade Formosa despite the United States’ determination to use force if necessary to keep the Nationalist stronghold from being overrun by the Communists. ' Medical Payments For Aged Increase Testimony Given r House Committee I INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Even I though the number of persons re- ■ ceiving old age assistance dropped, I the total cost of their medical payments went up. That was tha teatinrony of Richard H. Sweitzer. Jr. head of the department of public welfare, before the house ways and means A committee Tuesday night. He said that in 1954 medical ! payments for old age assistance ' amounted to $4,583,000, compared to $3,996,000 in 1953 when there were 2,000 more persons getting i help. The Indiana state medical association has urged that the 89th general assembly allow all medical care charges to be made public. The association claims that charges of nursing homes, dentists, drug stores and hospitals are clas sified as medical care, and that the rising costs should not be blamed on the doctors. The same committee also heard | Wilbur Young, superintendent of public instruction, outline plans to change the present unit upon which tuition lAipport for public schools is based. Young said that by changing the unit' to 30 pupils, rather than the present plan of 32 grade school or 28 high school pupils, an added Is.tHO.UOO would result for the next two years. However, the total funds required under such a formula would be $162,640,000, whereas the state budget committee has trimmed ex-penditures-'Tor this purpose to $146,000,000. Fouled Owls SALEM, 0re.,5 (INS) — Iron owls may fool people but not the . pigeons they are meant to drive away. The owner of a Salem store asked officials how to get rid of pigeons and they suggested iron owls. He complied and then found that the pigeons seemed to enjoy sitting on and defacing the statues of their natural enemies. « Tube's End AKRON, 0., (INS) — In a few years the old swimming hole will i be about the only place you’ll be able to find a passenger car inner tube. B. F. Goodrich estimates that In about three years the inner tube-and-tire combination will be replaced by tubeless tires on more than half the nation’s 46 million passenger cars. Tibet's population Is estimated at about three million.

Enjoined Against Working Children Injunctions Issued Against 13 Farmers Lloyd Gerber ot French township Floyd Gerber of Craigville and Robert J. Meyer of Bluffton are among 13 Indiana fanners who are defendants in injunctions to keep young children out of farm jobs when schools are in session. The injunctions were ordered by U. S. Judges, Wm. E. Stickler and Cale J. Holder at Indianapolis and U. 8. Judge V. Lynn Parkinson at Fort Wayne. Secretary of labor James P. Mitchell obtained the court orders prohibiting the farmers, all tomato growers, from future violations of the child labor provisions. . - ' Investigations by the U. 8. department of labor revealed that in September of 1953, 59 children ranging In ages from five to 15 were picking tomatoes in the fields farmed by the 13 defendants while
