NAM Renews Demand Os Tax Cut, Economy Also Renews Demand For Curb On Power Os Union Monopoly WASHINGTON (UP)— The National Association of Manufacturers today renewed its demand for tax cuts, government economy and a curb on the "power of union monopolies” as measures to cure the Recession. Nam President Milton C. Lightner said his organization deplores increased federal spending for "pump-priming” and any step-up of government intervention in business and state economic planning. Lightner, who is chairman of the board of the Singer Manufacturing Co., Elizabeth, N.J., spoke in testimony prepared for the House Banking Comngttee which is, holding hearings on bills to relieve unemployment. He urged the committee to reject all the bills pending before it, calling them part of an "opportunistic trend” by advocates of greater federal spending and interference with states and private enterprise Attacking what he termed "the hysterical demands for the discredited pump-priming measures which so prolonged the {treat Depression of the Thirties,’ Lightner praised the Eisenhower administration for "considerable spirit” in resisting such demands On taxes, he suggested cutting corporate and individual income taxes to make more money available for investment in job-making industrial expansion. TJghtner’s testimony followed a prediction by Commerce Secretary Sinclair Weeks that the United States is headed into "a prosperous decade” despite signs of recession that now are "everywhere around us-” Weeks spoke at ceremonies Sunday at Stratford Hall, Va., family home of Civil War Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. He said "long-range growth vistas, unfolded by science, technology and industry, reveal breath-taking wonderlands in the next decade which — Last Time Tonight — L TOMMY SANDS ■ “SING BOY SING" ALSO — Short* 25c - Ste 1 Fri. * Sat.— "Going Steady” & “Bop Girl" —JO—O — Coming gjin.—“Jet Attack” , Battalion" *.**?“ -0 • Closed Tues, thru Thurs. — Last Time Tonight — “GUNFIGHT AT O.

should inspire confidence." A new government report meanwhile showed construction took a normal seasonal upturn in April and about equalled its pace of a year ago. A joint release by the Labor and Commerce Departments said the dollar value of all construction in the first four months of 1958 was up 2 per cent compared with the same period of 1957. But it said the physical volume of work “probably did not increase” over last year because of higher prices. Bing Crosby's Son Wed Sunday Evening One Os Twin Sons Marries Showgirl LAS VEGAS, Nev. (IP) — Dennis Crosby, 23, one of crooner Bing Crosby’s twin sons, was wed between shows Sunday night to showgirl Pat Sheehan, 26-year-old divorcee and mother of a 6-year-old son. Young Crosby, twin of Philip—the middle sons of Crosby’s four boys—and the statuesque Miss Sheehan took out a marriage license shortly after 11 o’clock and were wed at the Gretna Greer, wedding chapel by the Rev. Tames A. Herndon, pastor of the Church of the Nazarene. Pat hurried back to the Tropicana for the second show after th® quick ceremony. A spokesman for the Tropicana, one of the lush resort hotels on the Sparkling “strip” of this gambling town, said the showgirl apparently had made no arrangements for taking time off for a honeymoon. Miss Sheehan announced in Feb--uary that she and young Crosby would be wed 4n St. Anne's Catholic Church sometime in April. Their plans became indefinite when news of the impending marriage was made public. Dennis' father, Bing, and his 23-•ear-old bride, actress Kathy Crosby, were married at St. Anne’s last Oct. 24. The elder Crosby was linked with Miss Sheehan a year before his marriage to Miss Grant. Population Mounts Rapidly In Canada Heavy Immigration, * High Birth Rates WASHINGTON (IP) — Canada is undergoing a population ex- , plosion” similar to that in Latin America and Asia, according to the Population Reference Bureau It said heavy immigration and comparatively high birth rates were mainly responsible for the Canadian increase which began after World War 11. The privately sponsored research agency said that as the second largest* country m area, Canada has enormous untapped resource® to support a large population. But it said Canada should eventually determine th eoptimum population it can sustain to permit its people to enjoy the most economic and social benefits. The United States, it continued, is suffering from "acute social and economic problems” because the population has grown quickly and 'Concentrated in cities. The bureau reported that more Canadian women are marryinj now than ever before and they are marrying younger. It said postwar prosperity had exerted an "inflationary effect" on the birth rate. It said Canada's population of 17 million was growing 2.8 per cent annually, the highest rate in any Wesetrn industrial nation. If that rate continued, it said, Canada would have a population of 54 million in the year 2,000. The figures were based on the 1951-1956 period. RETARDED (Continued from Pp?e on a) she is to be tried for murder or as a juvenile. Starkweather's murder chart was off, in any event. Only six of the victims were male. Four were women and one a baby girl. His court-appointed attorneys, T. Clement Gaughan and William F. Matschullat, said they would enter a plea today of innocent by reason of insanity in the worst mass slaying since Howard Unruh took 13 lives in New Jersey in 1949. - “Do you know tiiis boy doesn't want us to plead him insane?” Gaughan asked. "He wants us to eh ter a plea of not guilty on grounds of selfdefense. Self-defense? That in itself is enough to convince me he is insane.” A special guard of at least 25 deputies was posed around the Lancaster County courthouse to guard against an attack on Starkweather, who is escorted in handcuffs, leg irons and a chain and waist belt. He has been held in the State Penitentiary outside Lincoln rather than in the small County Jail. If you have something to sell or Want Ad — They bring results rooms torrent, try a Democrat

Camargo Winner In • Colombia Election i 29 Are Killed In Election Violence ' BOGOTA, Colombia (IP) — Alberto . Lleras Camargo won a landslide victory Sunday in a presidential ' election marred by violence in which at least 29 persons were killed and 9 wounded, it was announced today. Returns representing about a third of the ballots cast gave 843,983 votes to 124,700 for Jorge Leyva and 3,351 for “others.” Lleras was the "National Unity” candidate of his own Liberal Party and most of the conservatives who are their traditional foes. Leyva was nominated by an extremist conservative faction. The “others” mentioned in the returns presumably were write-in candidates. Leyva conceded defeat in a statement to the United Press at 9 p.m. Sunday. He added, how : ever, that Lleras’ victory was a hollow one because there was no -eal contest. - — “The whole thing was a farce." he said. "I am very happy, and ' Lleras should be very sad. Os course, I conceded two weeks ago, not tonight." Lleras, who had served once previously as president, promised in > a victory statement that he will “govern for the good of all Colombians.” NATO (Continued from Page one) would not be wise to sit watching amd confine ourselves to hopes and wishful thinking.
