that it is doubtful that the current rate of production can bo maintained by all Industries. In its publication. “The Indiana Business Review,** the bureau said: * •‘Expectations are that automobile production and reeldentiai construction will slip somewhat in the third and fourth quarters from their phenomenal first half rates. “On the other hand, freight car building, industrial and highway construction, farm implement manufacturing. and furniture output should be in the ascendance.” The bureau also suggested a possible increase in production of a wide variety of non-durable goods. It also reported the general level of business activity remained high in June with some easing in steel production and construction. It said retail trade was considerably stronger on a season adjusted basis as was newspaper advertising lineage and coal output. Farm prices, according to the report, generally were slightly higher in June than in May and the farm income Is not likely to fall much below Its present level.

Deplores Policies Os Ag Department Leader Os National Grange In Address WASHINGTON -(INS) — National Grange master Herschel D. Newson says the best time is past for adopting new farm price policies aimed at checking declining incomes. The Grange leader also told a midwestern audience that present policy of the agriculture department seems to underestimate the importance of maintaining rural income and purchasing power. In large part, Newsom's speech at a Northern Illinois Grange picnic was a strong reindorsement of the commodity by commodity approach so long advocated by his organisation. He said it is a pathetic sight to see the friends, of agriculture divided into two warring camps in their stubborn support of either high rigid of flexible supports for all farm crops. Newsom declared: “The one group is completely cognizant of the disastrous consequences of continued decline in farm equity and rural purchasing power . . . They feel that the only mechanism that has yet been honestly tried (high, rigid supports) is a method which cannot be abandoned or jeopardised in the face of declining income . . . "Then . . . There is the other group that is so sincerely disturbed about the long time implications arising out of the kind of price support, program which we have had . . . that they seem determined to correct this particular evil by simply lowering price supports regardless of the level of farm income.” Newsom said the result is that farmers are caught in an even more vigorous and destructive price squeeze than the one which they have been experiencing for the past three years. The Grange leader declared that the best time to have changed farm policies was while both farm income and the national prosperity were at high levels.

Africa will be available to the hunters. Dr. Girod said he had no particular animals in mind, but would like a shot at some of the better known such as lions, elephants and wild buffalo—the latter being the most dangerous game in Africa. Most of the guiding will be done by natives of the area, but a European guide will attempt to get the adventurers a good shot at the elephant. Dr. Girod will take his own 30-06 rifle and will rent a 450 caliber cannon there for the biggest game.

Key Democrats Feel South To Return To Fold Confident Three Os States To Desert Eisnhower Column WASHINGTON (INS) — Key Democrats expressed confidence today that at least three of the four Southern states which President Eisenhower captured in 1952 will vote Democratic in 1956. But Republicans are certain that, if he runs again. Mr. Eisenhower will take two of the four. The traditionally Democratic southern states which went Republican in 1952 are Texas, Tennessee, Virginia and Florida, which gave the President 57 of his 442 electoral votes. Democrats are optimistic that all four will return to the Democratic column next year, although Mr. Eisenhower is conceded a good chance of retaining Florida. The GOP leaders are certain about Florida and Virginia, and hopeful about Texas and Tennessee. « Sen. John Sparkman. Ala.. Dem ocratic vice presidential candidate in 1952, said: “If the election were being held today. I feel confident they’d be back now." Behind Democratic confidence concerning Tennessee is the Dixdn-Yates private power contract. Sen. Estes Kefauver, Tenn., put it this way: “Tennessee went Republican by a small margin in '52, largely on the proimse of Eisenhower that under him TVA would be operated at maximum efficiency.’ “The President has gone back on his promise and Tennessee will be safely back in the Democratic column." In Texas, the situation is likely to depend largely on whether Gov. Allen Shivers supports a Republican again in 1956 and on the political influence of two other prominent “Democrats for Ike" —retiring welfare secretary Oveta Culp Hobby and former deputy defense secretary Robert B. Anderson. Virginia’s Sen. Harry F. Byrd once again helds the key to his state. Byrd withheld his support from Adlai E. Stveenson in 1952 and Mr. Eisenhower won Virginia as a result. The senator will not say what he will do next year. As for F(prida, even one top Democrat conceded that the Sunshine State -is well on its way to become the “first two-party state in the south.” Miss Universe Will Be Named Wednesday LONG BEACH. Calif.

Eisenhower, Zhukov Renew Friendship Warm Greeting At Big Four Meeting GENEVA (INS) — Dwight D. Eisenhower renewed a Jong suspended but apparently still warm friendship with Soviet Marshal Georgi Zhukov today at the opening of the Big Four talks. The two men shook hands in the power packed council room of the Palais Des Nations and smilingly asked one another about their families. The President appeared completely composed during the scheduled picture taking before the momentous, conference actually got under way. But Britain's prime minister Sir Anthony Eden —perhaps the most experienced diplomat of the Big Four chiefs of state —appeared the most nervous. He couldn’t keep still, pushing a pad back and forth, rapping on the table with his fingers, sipping a glass of water and leaning around to look over the crowd.
