Battle For Control In Hands Os Court Turbulent Meeting Climaxed By Race CHICAGO (UP)—The battle for control of the $135 million Fairbanks, Morse machinery firm was in the hands of the courts today after a turbulent stockholders' meeting climaxed by a wild race with a “mystery man.” The meeting itself fat d to settle the fight between the -»rces of financier Leopold Silberst in and the present management >f the 127-year-old Fairbanks, Morse & Co. U.S. District Court Judge Joseph Sam Perry has ordered the proxies impounded pending a suit against Silberstein. However, both sides have permission to begin an unofficial vote count today. The highlight of .the meeting Wednesday came when a silent man walked to the front to cast his proxy vote but refused to give his name. The "mystery man” shoved his ballot into the box and started to leave. There was a shout of “Stop that man!” Deputy U.S. Marshal Anthony McCarthy and Fairbanks, Morse lawyers took off in pursuit. They raced dpwn a marble staircase and through the lobby of the swank Sheraton-Blackstone Hotel and out onto the street where the man, thought to be Bruno Saager, director of the Union Bank of Switzerland, entered a taxi. McCarthy shoved a subpena through the cab window at the man, and a Fairbanks, Morse attorney jumped into another taxi and told the driver to “Follow that cab.” . After a chase through Loop traffic, the Morse lawyer caught up with his man and discovered he wasn't a Swiss banker after all. Instead. he turned out to be David L. Subin, an associate and friend of Silberstein. The mis-directed subpena sought to force the Swiss bank to reveal its records on its dealings in Fairbanks, Morse stock on behalf of Silberstein’s Penn-Texas Corp. McCarthy was kept busy serving several other papers during the meetin'’. Otherswho got subpenas were Ralph Immel, a member of Silberstein’s proxy committee, Silberstein himself, and Jacques Sarlie, a Silberstein ally who claims to own the deciding bloc of stock. The papers served notice that Fairbanks, Morse will seek depositions next July in its suit to prevent Silberstein from voting the proxies he claims for his side. Silberstein’s forces claim the suit is a delaying tactic by Fairbanks, Morse management in the hopes that Silberstein may have overextended himself in proxy commitments and will be forced to default before the issue is settled.

Have the mixture warm, put the lace or ribbon into this, screw on the lid, and allow to soak for a few minutes. Then shake vigorously and rinse in the same manner. The Cleanser Can To prevent the rim of rust wherever the can of cleanser is placed, secure a wire tumbler holder and screw it to the kitchen wall, close to the sink.

Monday Is Deadline For Dog Licenses More than 170 Decatur dog owners have purchased license tags for their pets on the recommendation of city officials, who have outlined a program to solve the problem of stray' dogs roaming the city during the spring and summer months. A dog pound has been constructed at the city dump and is now ready for operation. Mayor Robert Cole issued a final warning today that beginning next Monday, all dogs without tags will be picked up and taken to the pound. The dogs will be held there for a period of 10 days before they are disposed of. During that period, owners may claim their dogs by purchasing a license tag, paying the costs of keeping the dogs at the pound and paying for any damage caused by the dogs.

Three cases — one in each of those counties .— were added to the records last week, raising the 1957 incidence to 13, more than double the comparative figure for 1956 and slightly above the fiveyear median. Meanwhile, a final polio report for 1956 showed that Indiana had 410 cases and 22 deaths, compared with 446 cases and 20 deaths in 1955. The number of cases for the calendar year was the lowest since 1951. when 371 cases were reported. However, that year there were 46 deaths. Comparative totals for 1955 and 1956 showed that last year, despite tne use of Salk vaccine, there were more than 20 per cent more paralytic cases .than in 1955, and a decided reduction in the number of'nen-paralytic cases.

The United States is not willing to change its own policy of no-trade-at-all with Communist China. The question is whether the United States would agree to some increased trade by Britain, Japan and other Allies if the ban against strategic trading is preserved. Any American-approved increase in Allied trade with the Red Chinese would apply only to "peaceful goods”—items having no potential war, use. Fifteen Allied nations have been cooperating for years to control trade with the Soviet Union, Eastern European Communist nations and Red China. The 15 include all the North Atlantic Treaty powers except Iceland. Japan is the 15th member. Controls on Allied trade with Red China have been much tighter
