Conference On Air Pollution Closes Urges Cleaning Up Os Air Over Cities WASHINGTON (UPD—The nation was on notice today that more money and effort are needed to clean up dirty air over its cities. The first National Conference On Air. Pollution got that word from Arthur S. Flemming, secretary of health, education, and welfare. “The only way to make progress is to translate our convictions into dollars,” Flemming told the 900 delegates. The three • day conference, which wound up Thursday night, was called by the U.S. Public Health Service, a division of Flemming’s department, to arouse public interest in the air pollution problem. CaUs Session Successful Dr. Leroy E. Burney, the service’s chief, called the session "highly successful" and promised his agency will give “most careful consideration" to its recommendations. He said the conference's proposals should serve as guideposts for future action by his own agency, state and local governments.

industry and other groups. The delegates’ major recommendation was for more research into the causes, effects and possible cures for air contamination which costs the nation an estimated $7,500,000,000 a year. They called in particular for "vigorous” work by the automobile industry on ways to curb exhaust fumes from motor vehicles, and for more research and information from medical groups on health hazards from dirty air. Same Officials Critical Some officials from the Los Angeles area, who blamed auto and truck exhaust for much of its smog problem, contended the conference did not go far enough in urging controls for exhaust fumes. Harold W. Kennedy, attorney for the Los Angeles County Air Pollution District, said the delegates "didn’t face up to the serious health menace from auto exhausts.” Earlier in the conference, a spokesman for the American Association for the Advancement of Science blamed auto exhaust equally with cigarettes for lung cancer.

Handley Wants Land Be Used For Port Assumes Senators Will Fight Move INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Governor Handley said Thursday he "assumes” Sen. Homer E. Capehart and Sen.-elect Vance Hartke will fight a proposed move to convert the dunes area in Northern Indiana into a federal park. Handley said at a news conference that he wants the land to be used for an Indiana port on Lake Michigan. “I cant imagine Congress would deny Indiana a port on the whim of a couple of people who want to keep the dune's,” he said. "I don't know how Hartke feels about it (taking the land for a park), hut I do know Capehart opposes it.” He said he hoped the proposed port “will be moved one step closer to a final decision” by a federal judge’s ruling in New York Thursday which barred a proposed merger of Bethlehem Steel Corp. with Youngstown ‘Sheet & Tube Co. The governor said if Congress moved to “preempt" the dunes area land for a national park, it will be further proof of "supercentralized government in Washington.” Lifts a Freeze During the conference, Handley also revealed that he has lifted a freeze on merit pay increases of 18,479 state employes and released government figures showing the state’s advance in highway construction. Handley said improved economic conditions have made it possible for him to life the moratorium he established July 1 by executive order on all merit pay hikes authorized by the 1957 Legislature. He said he established the freeze to be sure no new taxes would have to be sought from the 1959 General Assembly. The merit increases, which are retroactive to last July 1, will be paid Jan. 1 to employes as of Nov. 30. Since this is a six-months period, the amount involved is a maximum $1,208,740. Budget Director William Hardwick said it actually would be less than this sum because the pay raises are subject to department head decision, tJid seme employes have left the state payroll during the interim. , State Advances In regard to highway construction, Handley said the state has advanced from 47th to 9th position in overall federal participation in highway building. He showed newsmen a September report from the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Bureau of Public Roads showing Indiana’s advance in highway construction. For the interstate contracts alone, the state’s position jumped to second in the nation and first in the Midwest, he said. The governor predicted that victorious Democrats would not be able to wrest control of Indiana's 185 auto license bureaus from his GOP administration. He said they would have a hard time doing it because “we still have a majority in the Senate.” Handley also nlnted that all future state fairgoers may have to pay for admission. He said he has asked the State Fair Board to study the possibility of following the lead of Illinois and Missouri and requiring all who enter to pay. VIRGINIA Continued from pa<ge one can flag goes back to its rightful place where it belongs” on the statehouse roof. Other veterans groups and one Virginia congressman sided, less vehemently, with Kane's protest. “Acted Without Thinking” Omar Ketchum, head of the VFW’s Washington office and the group’s lobbyist on Capitol Hill, said he thought Almond acted “without thinking the thing through” and apparently was “mixed up and confused cm what are the real issues” in the integration controversy. Another veterans group spokesman noted his organization had both Northern and Southern members and said Almond’s stand put his group in a “delicate position.” No immediate comment was forthcoming from the American Legion or the Amvets. No one answered the telephone at headquarters for the American VeteYans Committee, the nation’s fourth major veterans group. One of Virginia’s two Republican congressmen, Rep. Joel T. Broyhill of northern Virginia, said he “can’t support” the new flag policy “insofar as it signifies that Virginia is any less a part of the United States.” Broyhill said he could not believe Almond was implying any lessening of state ties with the nation but added, "I fear this is the inference people will draw." Safety Record Improves SAN FRANCISCO (UPDCalifornia chalked up a 5.8 per cent reduction in the number of traffic fatalities during the first seven months of 1958, when accidents killed 1,895 persons in the state.

Bulganin Reported As Seriously 111 Former Premier Os Russia Seriously 111 MOSCOW (UPD — Marshal Nikolai Bulganin who was replaced as premier last April is seriously ill and undergoing medical treatment in Moscow, reliable sources; \ said today. Nature of his illness was not! disclosed. The 63-year-old Bulganin also was reported ill last June and in 1955 when he was unable to receive a visiting Finnish delegation. Premier Nikita Khrushchev disclosed last summer Bulganin had under"',ne an operation in a Moscow hospital. His 1955 illnes" was announced by the official Soviet news agency; Tass, the first time such an announcement had been--made-abort-a Soviet official since Josef Stalin suffered a stroke in March 1953. After his June illness it was announced that Bulganin had taken up the post of chairman of the economic council of the remote and minor Stavropol area. This was followed by his elimination from the Presidium of the Communist Party's Central Cortkmittee. Last week Khrushchev de- ; nounced Bulganin as a member of the Malenkov-Molotov "antiparty group” which opposed ! Khrushchev’s economic plans. This led observers to conclude Bulganin had been removed from his job in Stavropol. Thursday Pravda, the official Communist newspaper, made the serious charge that Bulganin and! the other members of the disgraced group "put the brakes on development of the Soviet Union.” MOGILNER TELLS Continued from pnge one heavy equipment and supplies to the highway department- while Smith was chairman, said the check for $7,794 was made payable to “V. Wilson" and that! Virgil Wilson Smith cashed it. i He said Smith arranged for the' purchase of 36 power shovels bytelling Harold Mason, then heavy equipment superintendent, to write ■ the specifications so no other I shovel would qualify. Mason, who also testified Thursday, confirmed Mogilner’s story. He said Smith told him to write! "closed specifications" from a' brochure supplied by Mogilner. Mason said Mogilner offered him $250, but he refused to accept it. He said he suggested that Mogilner give it to the GOP campaign fund. Another key witness appearing before the jury of 10 men and 2i women was Lloyd Poindexter, former superintendent of maintenance under Smith. He verified Mason’s story about the “closed specifications.” “I'm sure they were closed specifications because another company got hot about it,” he said. Poindexter, now a’ district highway superintendent, said Mason drew the specifications on orders from Smith. He testified that Smith gave him S4OO in 1956 for “campaign expenses” be incurred before the 1956 primary. He said he did not know where the money came from. Poindexter denied, he had ever received any money from Mogilner. Over 2,500 Daily Democrats are sold and delivered in Decatur each day.

Final Respects Are Paid Tyrone Power Funeral Rites Held , Today In Hollywood HOLLYWOOD (UPI) - Hollywood pays its final respects to Tyrone Power today — but his mother, his two daughters and his first two wives will be absent from the funeral services. Many of filmland’s top personalities were expected to attend the military services for the 44-year-dd film idol who died last Saturday following a heart attack during the filming of a movie in Spain. Actor Cesar Romero, a close friend of Power’s and a co-star in several of his films, will deliver the eulogy at the noon services in the Chapel of the Psalms in Hollywood Memorial Park Cemetery. Asked To Stay Away Mrs. Debbie Power, 26, who married tire film idol last May 8, sent a telegram to playgirl Linda Christian, Power's second wife and mother of his two daughters, asking her to stay away from the services. . Miss Christian, 35, arrived from Paris and the two daughters, Romina, 8, and Taryn, 5, came here to attend the final rites from Mexico City where they live with their maternal grandmother. She said she would take her daughters to a private mass at a Beverly Hills church in order to avoid a scene with the present Mrs. Power. Mrs. Patia Power, 70, the actor's mother, has not been told of her son’s death. It was feared the shock would be too great for the ailing woman who suffered a stroke several years ago. Home Near Cemetery She remained in her Hollywood home not too far from the cemetery completely unaware of the solemn services being performed for her son. Power, who enlisted in the Marine Corps as a private during World War II and was discharged a lieutenant, was baptized a Roman Catholic but his marriage to his Mississippi-bom third wife prevented him from being buried in that faith. His first marriage had been a civil ceremony and in the eyes of the church he was still married to Miss Christian at the time of his death. French actress Ann Carpentier, known professionally as Annabella, was Power’s first wife. She said at her Paris home that she would not attend the funeral. JURY CONVICTS Oontknued from page one Court. The jurors found Caril guilty on both counts of an information filed against the 91-pound Lincoln schoolgirl. They were that she helped in the slaying of Jensen and that she aided and abetted in the robbery of Jensen.
