Republican Money Raisers Cry Blues Party Collections Reported Way Off By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International ' WASHINGTON (UPI)-The political grapevine: Republican campaign fund raisers are crying the blues in an angry key. Collections are way off although the party suffers the political handicap of being substantially identified as the ally of big business and big money. It would seem that ample funds would flow from such an alliance but the fund raisers complain: Not so! An old timer among this town’s political mechanics cited a combination of discouraging circumstances which confronts Republican money raisers: —The business elements of the electorate do not follow through politically. They hit hard to get the Democrats out of the White House in 1952 and to keep them out in 1956 but seem to feel now that they have won their political battle and no longer need vigorously to support anyone. Won’t Support a Loser • —The industrial fat cats who put their cash on the barrel-head over the earlier years of this century, when the Republicans were securely in the majority, are dying off. Congressional investigations have scared off some potential contributors. Some businessmen who contributed substantially to the Republicans in recent years now. tell party collectors that the GOP will be licked in this year's congressional elections, and that they do not want to be mixed up in it. —The old timer said the Democrats would be in as bad a situation or worse but for the windfall of campaign funds from organized labor. The Republicans, he continued, need a fund gimmick of some kind, perhaps an income tax deduction up to SSOO for political contributions The tax-free riches of organized labor are spent liberally in behalf of Democratic candidates. The Senate Republican Campaign Committee staff recently cited a survey which reported that of $1,078,852 spent by labor groups in the 1956 campaign all but $3,925 went to the Democrats. . Recall Taft Setback —The Republican Party in Washington state selected last winter a candidate to oppose the re-election of Democratic U.S. Sen. Henry M. Jackson. John R. Lewis, the Republican nominee, established campaign headquarters in Seattle. After three and one-half months, Lewis withdrew for lack of campaign funds. Such incidents embitter Republican fund raisers. “The conservative cause,” said the old timer, “is going to wither away.” The old timer probably is right about that. The withering process has been under way for some time. The process was on public display six years ago when conservative elements of the Republican party were divided, uncertain and afraid to support the presidential candidacy of the late Sen. Robert A. Taft. Twelve years before that the conservatives were mousetrapped by the supporters of the late Wendell L. Willkie. By mail, telephone and telegraph and with packed galleries, the Willkie-for-President forces put on a national convention show which confusd and defeated the party regulars, enabling Willkie to kidnap the 1940 Republican presidential nortiination. President Eisenhower was offered to the GOP in 1952 with the recommendation that he could win. He won easily and repeated in 1956. Those were personal triumphs, however, which have not accomplished much, if anything, toward repair of the dislocated party machinery.

Institute Fund To Buy Instruments Funds left in the treasury of the discontinued Adams Central farmers’ spring institute have been used to purchase two new instruments for the marching blind of Adams Central high school, Monroe. Eli Schwartz, president of the institute in its last year, presented the money for band use* Two drums for marching were pur- ' chased, Adams Central band di- ’ rector Don Gerig announced this morning. One is a Scotch base : drum, much like the usual base ' drum excepting its smaller width. The other is a tenor tympani, a red instrument with a concave ’ aluminum base. ! The two new instruments will be used in the Central band’s ’ appearance at the head of the 1 grand parade at the county 4-H fair Tuesday evening. The sixty-three-membered band will march August 16 in a band contest at ! Woodburn for the annual Wood--1 burn days. After these preliminary • appearances, the group will parade in the State Fair band con1 test August 28. r 0 Predict Faubus To l- Win In Arkansas Campaign Manager Voices Optimism LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (UPI) — . Gov. Orval E. Faubus’ campaign . manager predicted today that so . many Arkansas voters approved . the way Faubus handled the Little . Rock integration problem last , September that 65 per cent will vote Tuesday to give him a third . term. Faubus has two opponents in I Tuesday’s Democratic primary— I Judge Lee Ward, Paragould, 51, . and Chris E. Finkbeiner, 37, a f wealthy Little Rock meat packer. - The campaign winds up tonight I and the candidates were expected j to give “outside interests” an- . other going over. “Outside interests” is a frei quently used phrase in the cam- . paign, particularly by the Faubus . camp'. He accused “oufside interr ests” of stirring up the Central i High School integration problem. “Outside interests," he charged, were behind the review of the Arkansas political situation on the | television pro gram “Outlook,” > which television stations in Arkant sas refused to broadcast Sunday. - The program showed Faubus, Ward and Finkbeiner speaking and contained an interview with • {Harry Ashmore, Pulitzer Prize -i winning executive editor of the •' Arkansas Gazette. r | Ashmore charged in his interII view that Faubus had selected Hhim as a “whipping boy” in the ; attempt by the governor to win 1 a third term. He added that the I “moderates in the South would be 'heartened “if Faubus were defeated in Tuesday’s election. 1 Faubus said Friday in a cam- ' | paign speech that no Arkansas ■: station and none in Memphis ■ would carry the program unless 1 “somebody puts up money for it 1 to be shown as a paid political 1 announcement.” • A Little Rock television station announced several days ago it ' was cancelling the show as “too I much anti - Faubus propaganda.” The Arkansas Gazette promptly ’ criticized the station for bowing I to “pressure” from Faubus sup- • porters and condemning a program “before it is even seen.” One of the world’s strangest mammals is the hyrax, a tailless conylike creature about the size of a Belgian hare, says the National Geogrpahic Magazine. The animal lives in Arabia and East Africa, where its thick, soft fur is often made into rugs. Most are rockdwellers, but a few live in trees. Zoologists are especially interested in the hyrax as a curious relative of the elephant.

U.S., Britain Agree Baghdad Pact Continues Reaffirm Support Os Northern Tier Baghdad Alliance LONDON (UPl>— The United States and Britain reaffirmed their support for the “northern tier” Baghdad allianqg today as a vital bulwark to keep Russia out of the strategic Middle East. U. S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was reported to have found pact members far calmer, in the light of Middle East events, than he had anticipated. He told the leaders the United States does not plan to join as a full member at present. The prime ministers of Britain, Turkey, Iran and Pakistan met at Lancaster House in the fifth council session of the Baghdad Pact. Iraq, ,the fifth member, was not represented. Dulles sat in on the talks as an observer — the United States is not a full member although it is represented on the more important committees. Iraq has not pulled out of the alliance as yet. But the leaders of the new revolutionary regime are expected to do so.shortly and both the United States and Britain have written her off as an effective member. The sessions will be secret after the brief public opening. The meeting, originally set for three days, was cut down because of the pressure of other international business. Dulles planned to

Demand For Steel Is Reported Increasing Demand Mostly By Automobile Orders CLEVELAND, Ohio (UPD-Steel demand is picking up, aided mostly by automotive orders and to some degree by the Middle East crisis, steel Magazine reported today. The weekly trade magazine said initial orders from Detroit have been no bigger than last year’s —4,000 to 5,000 tons — but they are more than welcome. Chrysler Corp, apd the Fisher Body, Buick Oldsmobile and Pontiac division of General Motors placed orders. Ford Motor Co. will start ordering soon. About 20 per cent of the tonnage is for August delivery, the rest for September. orders for cold-rolled sheets, bars and stainless strip, automakers are expected to issue release dates to their parts suppliers. They will soon be ordering steel for frames, springs and stampings. Orders by the automakers were not influenced by the Middle East trouble which flared up a few days before they, began buying. They were influenced solely by low steel stocks and a desire to get started on 1959 models However, increased demand for steel could be traced directly to the Middle East situation. An oil drum manufacturer who had been restricting his sheet supplier to shipments of a few carloads per month announced that he wanted all his orders delivered at once. He speculated that more drums would be needed to airlift oil to Western allies. Two factors enhanced prospects for a recovery in oil country

goods. Arab nationalists may cut pipe lines, calling for increases in American, Canadian and Venezueln oil to supply Europe, And the Texas Railroad Commission raised the limit on producing days from 9 to 11 per month beginning in August. Texas bankers are revising their policies and will lend more money to drilling contractors. With the release of second quarter statements, steelmakers continued to stress a need for higher prices. U.S. Steel Corp, is believed waiting for a stronger market before announcing an increase. Steel production continued a steady recovery last week from the July 4 setback. Furnaces were operated at 56 per cent of capacity, a half point increase. Production was about 1,512,000 net tons for ingots and castings. Scrap prices rose for the fourth consecutive week. Steel’s composite on the prime grade of melting scrap rose to $37.67, up another sl. Mill buying was lagging but a pickup in demand was expected next month when Detroit enters the steel market. Decatur Young Man Slightly Injured A Decatur young man escaped! serious injury early Saturday! when the car he was driving got ; out of control and was complete-! ly demolished on U. S.' 224 at the Indiana-Ohio state line. Kenneth D. Kiser, 24,, escaped with scratches on his arms and legs when he lost control of a 1951 Buick owned by F. McConnell and Sons company at 2:30 a. m. Saturday and the vehicle rolled over several times. According to the report of an Ohio patrolman, the car went off the north side of the road, relied over several times, and stopped after it crossed to the south side.
