“less friendship with dictators," ‘more aid instead of plans," “no tanks, no arms,” marched in orderly procession back and forth before the center. 1 Eisenhower, on a fact-finding tour fpr the President, had offered to meet critical university student leaders at his previous stops on the tour, but all had refused. Juan Zelaya acted as spokesman for the students in the meeting with Eisenhower here. He said the demonstrations against Vice President Richard M. Nixon during his Latin American tour last spring showed “the people resent U.S. friendship with the dictators.” Zelaya said the U.S. government “spat at us” when it decorated Pedro Estrada, chief of the Venezuelan secret police during the regime of deposed dictator Marcos Perez Jiminez, and Gen. Francisco Tabernilla, chief of the Cuban army of President Fulgencio Batista. o — o 1 Modern Etiquette | By ROBERTA LEE — o Q. Upon being Introduced to Miss Brown for the second time, is it all right to say, “I know Miss Brown”? A. The statement seems to sound as if it were too much trouble to make a second acknowledgement. It is much better to say, “I hove already had the pleasure of meeting Miss Brown.” Q. Some of my girl friends, who have become engaged recently, have given their fiances engagement presents. Is this a new custproper? A. This is neither a new custom nor necessary. Os course, there is nothing improper about it, if the girl wishes to do so.. Q. Is it proper for a girl to light ,a man’s cigarette for him? A. Yes, if she has just lighted her own and her match is still burning or her lighter is available. Otherwise, he should always light his own.

Assure Drivers Os No Gas Rationing United States Oil Supplies Are Ample WASHINGTON (U?I) — The nation’s 75 million mdtorists need not worry about possible gasoline rationing as a result or the Middle East explosion. * Even if war with RWsfa broke out we would be in far better shape for oil supplies than in World War II when careful rationing had to be invoked. Responsible government officials gave those assurances today through United Press International. They said in event all the Mideast’s 0i1—27 per cent of the world’s supply—were cut off the United States would have more than enough gasoline, fuel oil and other vital by-products to fill both domestic and Western European needs. In addition vast supplies would be available from Venezuela, the Dutch Caribbean refineries and Mexico. In case of war with Russia the Eastern Seaboard would be first to suffer shortages. It is almost entirely dependent on ocean-going tankers to keep its pipelines filled. Tankers are vulnerable to submarines as aptly demonstrated by U-boats in World War 11. But the government has an ace in the hole. It could pre-empt from present owners the Big and Little Inch pipelines running parallel from Texas to Pennsylvania to help keep the Eastern Seaboard supplied. These lines have a combined daily capacity of 435,000 barrels of crude oil. They were built during World War II to ease the eastern supply crisis. The government sold them under a "stand-by” clause allowing it to reclaim them in an emergency. The Little Inch is now carrying petroleum products. The Big Inch is carrying natural gas but could be reconverted to oil swiftly. The rationing lesson learned in World War II also has paid dividends in other areas. The Midwest. for example, is now fed by pipelines from Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Wyoming. None of these existed in the early 19405. The West Coast has its own supplies and has nothing to worry about. There is more than enough refinery capacity from coast to coast and from Canada to Mexico to meet all emergency gasoline needs. In addition domestic oil production, cut back sharply by inroadS of foreign imports, could be stepped up quickly. This was illustrated by the 1956-57 Suez Canal crisis which forced Western Europe to get 90 per cent of its supplies from the United States. Costume Dres BURLINGTON, Vt. — IW — Leather jackets, dungarees, shots and leather boots have been banned as appropriate dressing for dances sponsored by the Catholic Youth Organization and the YMCA in Vernmont, Officials said such clothing could be worn only at "costume parties.” Simpler Name KALAMAZOO, Mich. — ffl — The Kalamazoo Committee of the Michigan Society for Mental Hygiene has had its named changed to the Kalamazoo Child Guildance Clinic. The organization asked the city commission to change the name because the original name was too unwieldy. Dancing Scored PORTLAND, Me. — lift — The Greater Portland Assn, of Evangelical Churches entered an objection to dancing in physical education "classes in public schools on grounds that it “lowers morals” and urged “a more suitable exercise." The school committee issued a directive to teachers ispupils whose religious beliefs ‘would be offended should be excused from dancing sessions.25 carrier salesmen deliver daily over 2,300 Daily Democrats in Decatur.

Senate Nears Final Vote On Trade Measure Expected To Give Ike Major Victory In Fight For Bill WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Senate appeared ready today to give President Eisenhower a major victory in his fight for effective reciprocal trade legislation. The bill, now in its second week of debate, was given an excellent chapce of passage by tonight in a form substantially agreeable to the administration. A critical amendment designed to save the program from congressional hamstringing appeared assured of The key amendment, one affecting tariff relief for U. S. industries, would continue the present law on tariff commission decisions rejected by the President. The bill as approved by the Senate Finance Committee would let a simple majority of Congress toss out the President's objections to a Tariff Commission ruling. The House wrestled with tax legislation, hoping to reach a vote late today on a Senate-ap-proved bill that would provide funds to help finance small business ventures. Under the legislation, investment of up to 250 million dollars in federal funds in small businesses would be possible through the intermediary of privately - operated investment corporations. Tlie House Ways & Means Committee was expected to give final approval to a bill to allow self-employed persons substantially lower income taxes through deferment of tax payments on amounts placed in retirement funds or insurance annuties. Other congressional news: Small business — The House by voice vote passed a 260 million dollar tax relief bill for small business that had aministration backing. The bill’s chief provision would permit small business firms to reduce their taxable income by deducting an increased percentage of machinery and equipment costs for depreciation in the first year after purchase. National Guard — The House approved a resolution by voice vote urging the defense department not to cut the National Guard below 400,000 men. The-, resolution did not have the force of law but simply expressed the view of the house. Farm — The House tentatively approved a bill to revive the government's authority to sell farm surpluses abroad for foreign currencies. The authority ran out three weeks ago. Atomic — A House - Senate conference committee agreed on a compromise version of the 386 million dollar authorization bill for atomic energy construction projects — twice that suggested by the administration. Space — The House established a permanent committee on science and astronautics to handle speace legislation.

Slate Toll Bridge Commission Sued Back Salary, Fees Os $110,200 Asked EVANSVILLE, Ind. (UPI) — A suit for $110,200 in back salary and fees has been filed in U. S. District Court here against the Indiana Toll Bridge Commission by a former engineering consultant and administrator for the commission. The suit was filed Monday by T. D. Hunt, who accepted $25,900 from the state in 1954 as a settlement for his personal services after he was replaced in the administration of ex-Gov. George N. Craig. Hunt had been receiving $5,000 a year since 1940 as consultant and an additional SIO,OOO annually since 1952 as an administrator. The Indiana attorney general ruled in 1953 that Hunt, who maintains offices in St. Louis and Detroit, could not hold two jobs for a state agency. Joseph B. Minor, ney, contends the commission is not a state agency. Minor himself was awarded $4,962 for back salary as a commission attorney in a 1954 suit. The court at that time ruled the commission was not a state agency. Hunt’s claim includes salary, fees for plans for bridges at Mount Vernon and Lawrenceburg, and fees for services during the construction of the Mount Vernon bridge. Henry County Puts Quarantine On Dogs County Takes Action Against Stray Dogs NEW CASTLE. Ind (UPI) — Representatives from nearly every city and town in Henry County met with county commissioners Monday and voted unanimously to impose a quarantine to stamp out stray dogs. The commissioners voted in favor of a strict 120-day quarantine, effective as soon as the legal notice appears in newspapers. Dr. Lawrence Campbell, veterinarian with the Indiana Livestock Sanitation Board, explained the requirements of state law on the matter. Campbell said rabies can be controlled only if all dogs are vac-' cinnated and all strays eliminated. At least 22 Straughn residents are taking anti-abies shots after a diseased dog was found in the community. Twelve of them were bitten and the others came in contract with the sick animal. An emergency appropriation from the county’s general fund will be used to set up a dog pound. - - ■ ' o O I Household Scrapbook I By ROBERTA LEE O s— O Corks If a Cork breaks and falls into a bottle, put enough ammonia into the bottle to float the cork and put it aside for a few days.

Change Distribution Os Aid To Schools ' Simplified Formula Planned In Indiana INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — A “more realistic’’ formula to simplify the distribution of state aid to public schools, based on current teacher salaries and operating expenses, is nearly ready for proposal to the 1959 Indiana Legislature. , The new program would add about 25 million dollars to the state’s share of educating young Hoosiers, according to Mrs. Jean Pilot, Hammond, who heads the Governor’s Committee on School Aid Distribution. At a meeting Monday the committee reached agreement on the basic provisions of its proposals. It will meet again in September to assemble and word a suggested bill which will go to Governor Handley for approval. The formula now outlined would provide about 15 million dollars more for teacher salaries and operating expenses and perhaps 5 milion more for transportation. It would create a new fund for school construction with a maximum allowance of 5*4 million, Mrs. Pilot said. The present method of figuring support for teacher salaries uses an arbitrary schedule of 67 categories, reached by correlating wage scales ranging from $2,727 to $4,527 annually with the number of years of experience. The system has been criticized rightly, Mrs. Pilot said, as too complicated and too far removed from actual salaries. Her committee’s proposals establish just six categories, in which the base salaries range from $3,000 to $6,200. These categories represent the average pay now received by teachers with under four years’ training, four years, and five or more years, correlated with only one factor each for years of experience. The experience factor was determined by using the median number of years of actual teaching by all the teachers in each of the three training categories. The suggested system still uses the classroom unit: dividing average daily attendance by 30 in elementary schools and by 28 in high schools to set how many units of aid shall be received. AWOL Sailor Gives Self Up To Police A 17-year-old youth from New Castle, Pa., turned himself in to the city police department Monday afternoon as -being absent without leave from the United States Navy since June 3. The youth told the local authorities of leaving his ship, the U. S. S. Boston after it docked at Norfolk, Va., on or about June 3. . The military police were notified of the A.W.O.L. and arrived in Decatur early today to take the youth to Peru, where he will be held until he is returned to Norfolk He was held at the Adams county jail over night for the military authorities.
