full parity income to farmers” and. repeal the administration's flexible price supports. They said the Republican sliding scale supports "are a failure both to farmers and consumers.” The proposed platform also included endorsement of the Brannan plan for direct production payments to support prices of meat, milk and eggs when they fall below parity. They recommended that "the ever normal granary be returned to its original concept—that

of supplying farmers with livestock feed.” It accepted "reasonable production controls” with “strict crop compliance, if necessary" to bring prices up to parity. It also called for extension of the school lunch and food stamp plan "to assist families with low incomes,” and for "overseas distribution of government surpluses.” Sen. Robert S. Kerr (D-Okla.). injected a discussion of President Elsenhower's illness into the meeting. He wished Mr. Eisenhower a speedy recovery, but said he objected to the President? “being forced to activities beyond hia physical limitations.” Kerr said “We pray that he will have the rugged strength to complete his term of office, and be able to devote the necessary time to the grave responsibilities of the presidency. “T h e country has suffered enough under a part-time chief executive,” he said.

Stevenson Not To Make Health Issue Says Good Health Essential To Office CHICAGO (UP) ’— Adlai E. Stevenson said Sunday night he will not make President Eisenhower’s heilth an Issue in his campaign for the presidency. But he added quickly that "good health Is very important to the duties of the office of president.” "To diminish the office of the presidency is a dangerous thing,” Stevenson said. He added that “whether the President should run again is up to Mr. Eisenhower.” Stevenson commented on the President’s latest illness when he returned to Chicago from his successful primary battle with Sen. Estes Kefauver. His comfnents on the President’s illness were similar to those he made after Mr. Eisenhower's heart attack last year. Stevenson has charged that the office of the Presidency is being trimmed so as not President EiseuStevenson has been resting in California since he whipped Kefauver in the important California primary last week. He planned to stay in the background at his subur /an Libertyville home until his nex’ scheduled appearance at a fund-raising./Jic-nlc in a forest preserve next Sunday. Stevenson told newsmen at Midway Airport that he does not believe Mr. Eisenhower’s illness will produce any dark horse candidates for the Republican' presidential nomination. He also was not surprised at New York 00v. Averell Harriman’s weekend announcement that he is running against Stevenson and Kefauver for the Democratic presidential nomination. “I have.always considered Gov. Harriman g-very eager candidate,” Stevenson said. Looking into the future, Stevenson Baid he would regard former President Truman as an “excellent choice” for keynote speaker at the Democratic national convention in Chicago next August.

The only requirement is that she must return hpr marriage settlement and pay a small registration fee.

Graduate Rites For Crippled Children Severely Crippled Children Graduate CHICAGO (UP) — The youngsters didn’t come forward to get their diplomas. Instead -he rolled documents were handed to them as they sat in their wheelchairs. It was. graduation day at the Illinois childrens hospital-school, one of the most unusual institutions in the country. All the pupils are severely crippled. They are crippled so badly they could get an education only in an institution such as this—a combination hospital and school, staffed by doctors and teachers, working as a team along with therapists, psychologists, social workers and other specialists. The school occupies an eightstory building which once was a private hospital. It was taken over by the state of Illinois 10 years ago under a law recognizing the state’s obligation to provide educational facilities for youngsters such as these. . . All 92 pupils live on the premises dwringtbhe term. -Four floors of the building are devoted to living quarters for them. A tour of the place is a lesson in normality. In the rooms occupied by high school boys, there are the inevitable pennants, pictures of baseball stars and pinups of the Marilyn Monroe type. h- The visitor is struck by a general feeling of well being, of happy childhood adjustment. If you have tears, shed them elsewhere. These kids are learning to live. , They go to movies, ball games, picnics. They play wheelchair soft ball and basketball. They have Cub Scout and Boy Scout groups. They collect stamps. “We try to provide all the normal activities,’’ said Supt. IRichard Eddy. "And we try to make each youngster as ■ self-sufficient as his physical condition permits.” It was a beautiful day for the graduation exercises. The sun was bright in the backyard, where the little ceremony was held. Dr. Otto L. Bettag, state director of public; welfare, offered the graduates his personal congratulations. The five youngsters graduating from the high school course wore maroon caps and gowns. The six boys and girls graduating, from grade school wore the traditional costume in light blue. Frank Meglan, valedictorian of the high school class, delivered his speech from his wheelchair. The 1 youth, who oomes from Oglesby, 111., wished the undergraduates i and the school itself the best.

Counter Proposal Os Big Steel Awaited Expected To Scale Down Union Demand NEW’ YORK (UP) —The "Big Three" steel wage negotiators prepared today for their most crucial sessions in the two-week eld bargaining conference. Management is expected to present to the union by Wednesday nt the latest counter proposals Sharply'scaling ddWn the 22 contract demands of the United Steelworkers ot America. Current contracts between the 650,000-member USW and 172 steel companies expire at midnight on Juno 30. Failure to write a new pact by, that time could trigger a serious strike affecting the entire economy. „ The union’s package demands are believed to add up to a whopping 60 cents an hour, which would cost the industry around SBOO million a year if met in full. Nobody had any idea what management’s counter-offer would total, although it would be substantially less than what the union was asking. Serious bargaining on a new contract cannot begin until after the union has received and studied management’s counter proposals. The real fireworks are expected to begin sometime next week, when both sides get down to brass tacks bargaining aimed at bringing their offers into line with each other.
