There’s not a “thump" to be heard when you drive this continuous-laid concrete. It has been developed to meet the 1975 standards set for America’s greatest highway building program—4l/000 miles—now under way.

Almost like riding above the pavement, instead of on it. You’ll say this new-type concrete gives you the smoothest, most quiet ride ever. i Don’t waste time listening for the “thumps.” There simply aren’t spy. This new pavement is laid without interrupting joints. Then only the tiniest cushion spaces are sawed into the surface. You never feel or hear them.

Studies show you save up to on car expenses—gas, oil, brakes, steering—for you don’t have asphalt’s surface “drag." Sound reasons why new-type concrete is the preferred pavement for the new- Interstate System.

Slight Drop Seen In Retail Food Prices Average Is Still Above Last Year WASHINGTON (UP)-The Agriculture Department said today retail food prices will decline gradually during the remainder of the year but are expected to average “well above” a year ago. Total consumer spending! for food in 1958 is likely to surpass “moderately" that of 1967. the department said. The increased outlays will be due principally to the population increase and “somewhat higher" prices of food, at least during the first half of 1958. All major commodity groups except beverages are expected to be higher during the rest of this year than last, the department said. Recent reductions in the price of coffee dropped the index for the beverage group below last year’s level. The department said the decline for the remainder of this year is normal for the season. The department's publication “The National Food Situation” said civilian consumption of food through 1958 is expected to be close to the 1957 per-capita rate. The higher retail prices will reflect strong consumer demand, slightly lower food ' supplies and somewhat higher average marketing margins for food. There will be plenty of food during the next several months to maintain consumption at about the level of late 1956 and early 1957. Supplies of meat and eggs through next spring will be down some from a year earlier. But there will be about as much turkey and lard and more dairy products and chicken, the department said. Among food coming from crops, supply prospects point to more fresh deciduous and citrus fruits this winter and spring than last and about as much processed fruits and vegetables, sweet potatoes and vegetable oils. > , About as large a total tonnage of fresh vegetables as last year will be available in the several months ahead. Exceptions will be less potatoes, dry edible beans and dry field peas. Large stocks of food and feed will be carried over into 1958. If the weather is at least average, the department said, large food crops can be expected next year. Production of livestock products will be maintained at a high rate.

Built to cost Indiana taxpayers less Only concrete can be engineered to match expected traffic loads, serve 50 years and more. Its first cost is moderate. New-type concrete roads save taxpayers’ dollars on maintenance . . . which will be up to 60% less than for asphalt. raswa*?;- .zX . ipsb .•bMk >&**-&* > If j* i

level of prices this full may encourage farmers to raise more hogs than In 1957 with most of the increase marketed after mid-1958 Milk production likely will be up some because of the continued increase of output per cow. The department does not anticipate any important shifts in 1958 from the 1957 pattern of food consumption. Compared with 1957, some reduction in the consumption rate next year is likely for eggs and canned fish. The red ineat consumption Tate in 1958 is expected to be a little under the 159 pounds per capita estimated for 1957.

Sheffer man today to tell more alleged unionbusting by Sears, Roebuck & Co. Counsel Robert F. Kennedy said the witness was Edmund Wroblewski of Chicago, who operated under the name of Ed Robey when he fought union organizing efforts at a Sears store in Boston. Wroblewski-Robey was not the first Shefferman employe to admit using false names when fighting union organizing efforts. James T. Neilsen testified Monday he used the names James Guffey and Fred Warren in Boston and Jim Edwards and Jim Neil on other cases.

Sears salesman Angelo Gimmasi charged that another Shefferman staffer, Louis Jackson, ‘doublecrossed” him in the 1953 organizing drive by backing an unaffiliated union against the efforts of the AFL Retail Clerks Union. Another Sears salesman. James R. Donoghue, testified he was bitter at the retail clerks and was going along with efforts of the Teamsters Union to sign up Sears workers. Repaid he agreed to let his car be damaged so the retail clerks would be blamed. Donoghue said Sears replaced free the tubes of three tires which were stabbed with icepicks. Got Paid For Time Harry E. Farren, a free lance writer, former newspaperman and Sears employe, said Jackson gave him S2OO or S3OO to make up for time he lost working for the independent union. The committee dipped back into an earlier investigation to hear Raymond Cohen, secretary and business manager of Teamster Local 107 at Philadelphia. Cohen refused to produce his records despite a committee subpena for them. He declined to answer a score of questions about his affairs including the purchase of a $24,000 yacht. He admitted he promised Sept.. 26 to bring in the records but said he has “since changed my mind.” Fire Sweeps Through Fairmount Warehouse FAIRMOUNT (IP) — A fire swept through a Radio Corp, of America warehouse Monday night causing between $400,000 and $500,000 damage and destroying thousands of television picture tubes.

DULLES (Conti no eq from Figt Ona) —There is a parallel tugging and hauling between the secret police and the army in the Soviet Union. —The Soviets are faced with extremely serious domestic issues, including recent scrapping of the five-year plan, and the de-centrali-zation of Soviet industry. These are very serious steps which raise great problems in the Kremlin. —The Kremlin hierarchy faces important decisions on claims to the Soviet Union's resources. There are requirements to bolster Eastern European satellites, provide aid to Communist China, raise living standards at home, and to decide on constantly shifting military requirements. While dictatorships usually seem to present a calm exterior, Dulles said, terrific convulsions go on underneath. But he would not say that a terrific convulsion is now under way in the Soviet Union. • Secretary Ducks Question Dulles, was asked whether the administration would “welcome the appointment” of Zhukov as ambassador to Washington.
