But the liberal bloc, which sought tighter debate curbs, promised to renew the battle in the next Congress. Sen. Clifford F. Case (R-N.J.), a leader of the bipartisan group, Said: “Ulis is only a battle and not the war.” The Johnson provision provides that two-thirds of senators present and voting can limit debate. The old requirement was twothirds (66) of the Senate’s 98 members. Liberals arfjhed that the Johnson plan was hardly an improvement; most Southerners opposed any change. The ’ liberals made their big drive for a proposal by Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D-Ill.) to require only a majority- <4O) of the Senate's membership to cut off debate after 15 days. They lost 67-28. A follow - up move by Sens. Thruston B. Morton <R-Ky.), Clinton P. Anderson (D-N.M.i and John Sherman Cooper (R-Ky.l, also was beaten, 58-36. It would have let three-fifths of senators present and voting limit debate.

Doutfas, who voted against Johnson’s compromise as “meaningless,” declared that “we are not going to give up the fight on civil rights.” He said both the Democratic and Republican leadership “made a great mistake” in supporting the compromise. He declared they had made it "improbable that we might get a meaningful civil rights bill in the near future. 11 — " i 10-Year-Old Boy ' Is Shot To Death Cub Scout Is Slain Protecting Mother MONTICELLO. Ind. <UPI) — A 10-year-old Cub Scout was shot to death in his blue uniform Monday night, apparently while trying to prevent an angiy suitor from shooting the boy’s mother.

Top Builder Stays at Top By Using Best Materials w S SFIiHIHH , One style of house builder William J. Levitt is erecting in Levittown, N.J., is this two-story Colonial. It sells for $13,990 with 2'i baths and a completely equipped kitchen. The white asphalt shingle roof adds to summer comfort by reflecting much of the sun’s heat. Double-hung windows of ponderosa pine add to the Colonial look.

What is the secret to the phenomenal success of William J. Levitt, the nation’s leading home builder? How, for example, can Levitt develop a complete community of 16,000 high quality homes in Levittown, Pa., sell them at prices thousands of dollars below his nearest competitor, then move a few miles away across the Delaware River into New Jersey and begin construction of another community of 15,000 houses of even greater value? The most obvious answer is the same one Henry Ford’s competitors learned 35 years ago—mass production. But there’s another key to the secret that's just as important: top-grade materials. Here’s how these help Levitt sell houses, yet save om-eonstr-ue-tion 1. Good materials mean quick, trouble-free installation, resulting in less time on the job. A good example is the window units of ponderosa pine Levitt is using throughout the new Levittown, N. J. These are delivered to the site with frames and sash fitted together at the factory. All the carpenter on the job has to do is nail the units into the opening, saving hours of tedious fitting required for ordinary windows. 2. Quality materials insure fewer costly “call-backs” — builders’ language for comolaints

Mikoyan Concludes West Coast Visit Plans Washington Return For Parley LOS ANGELES (UPD— Anastas I. Mikoyan, fresh from trading clowning capers on a Hollywood movie set with comedian Jerry Lewis, leaves for Washington today for serious talks with Presi- , dent Eisenhower. ; The 63-year-old Soviet deputy premier rounded 'out his crosscountry goodwill tour of the United States with a three-day visit here that was unmarred by public demonstrations as marked his stays in Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and San Francisco. The energetic Russian official topped his successful tour of Los Angeles by appearing as a guest on a local television show. “As far as we are concerned." Mikoyan told interviewer Paul Coates, “we do not want a war over Berlin, but it depends on the other side to keep the peace.” Asked whether he thought the American people want war, Mikoyan replied: .“Judging by people I’ve seen I can say the American people want peace. In general, I’ve the best impression of American people." Mikoyan, who watched a broadcast of the filmed interview when it was aired later in the evening, was said by his interpreter to have enjoyed watching himself on television. Mikoyan completed his busy day which included a tour of UCLA, a luncheon meeting with prominent businessmen and educators and a visit to Paramount Studios

from buyers during their early months of occupancy. An illustration of this type of quality material is the asphalt shingles used by Levitt. When properly applied, they provide a longlasting, trouble-free roof that assures protection from weather of all kinds. 3. Today’s horrie-buyers are keenly aware of the importance of good building materials. For this reason, Levitt insulates ceilings and walls of his houses with thick mineral wool. The future all-weather comfort provided by the insulation is an important• selling point for the builder, and a vital requirement of the potential occupants. Other materials that help Levitt provide a better house that sells easily include such tilings askitchenappliancesthat are nationally advertised and guaranteed, top-ranking bathroom fixtures, quality pamts that give good service, long-lasting floor tiles that require a minimum of upkeep, and plumbing and electrical materials that will provide worry-free, safe service during*the lifetime of the house. Further, because it takes years to build a Levittown, Levitt and his staff remain in the community, continuing to be responsible for the.homes they have sold. This makes it particularly important to use materials that help the builder maintain his reputation.

Members of the attending industries proposed that a committee be formed to discuss and outline ..projects to be desired by members of the industrial division during the coming year for the benefit of the industry and the city of Decatur. The committee includes: chairman, George Auer; and members Earl Caston and Glen Manlier. ' v Also proposed at the luncheon for the future meetings, is the voting on the monthly meeting day. It was thought that another week day may be desired since the attendance has dropped somewhat since the start of the luncheon. Glen Ellis,* industrial committee chairman, instructed the committee to prepare a questionnaire and present it to the members at the next meeting the second week in February. Over 2.500 Daily Democrats art sold and delivered in Decatur each day.

Nipsco Seeks To Issue $25 Million INDIANAPOLIS * IUPD — The Northern Indiana Public Service Co., asked the Indiana Public Service Commission Monday for permission to issue and sell 25 million dollars worth of first mortgage bonds. The utility said the money would be used to expand and improve services. JOINT SESSION Continued from pa<> one posal by the Legislative Advisory Commission to end the present bipartisan State Highway Commission and substitute it with a single director. “The pretext for this is that the director would be a so-called ‘career man’,” Handley said. “But he would actually be a czar, inevitably regarding himself as above and beyond the reach or recall of the voters of Indiana in their biennial elections, and in the end, because of his great power and prestige, feeling responsible only to his own bureaucratic machine. “I would not favor any such change. Our state highway program, which is now the biggest operation of Indiana government under one department. Is so imporiant that it requires the full time of the three commissioners. And. moreover, such a multi-mil-lion-dollar operation should, continue to have bipartisan administration. as at present.” Skip Veto Promised Handley likewise threatened to veto the skip-election proposal of Sen. Vance Hartke and a number of Hoosier Democratic mayors who seek to delay the scheduled 1959 municipal elections until 1960. thereby adding one year to the terms of current mayors, most of whom are Democrats. “Our American government has become so complex—and most Indiana municipal budgets are so large—that it is very desirable for the people to have the opportunity to choose their municipal officials at separate elections,” Handley asserted. “Therefore. I could not approve any such skip election legislation.” — Discussing finance in general, Handley said: “The present general fund balance of approximately 35 million dollars is a realistic one. To go far below it again would be precarious. To build it much higher, fortified as we are with the withholding tax, would be unnecessary and an inexcusable hardship on current taxpayers.” Handley favored either a reform in the present “loose” intangibles tax or its repeal. He likewise urged abolition of the tax on personal property. He’s For Reapportionment The governor came out for reapportionment under an amendment to the state constitution to I SHORT i ITEMS I•■* ' * \ Fine Millwork Mode of Ponderosa Pine Most fine panel doors, louver doors, and wood windows are made of ponderosa pine, a strong, light wood that grows in abundance in many western states. Premium grades of ponderosa pine are used for these important building materials because the wood has enduring strength yet is easy to work ana does not split readily when nailed. Fuel Costs Reduced 40% by Insulation Studies show that proper insulation can save as much as 40 percent annually on winter fuel consumption. Many areas of the house, such as crawl spaces, and attic floors, can be insulated by the home handyman, using batts . or blankets of mineral wool available from building material dealers. HOT BAYS AHEAD Winter’s a good time to think of air conditioning. Installation contractors aren’t so busy in cold weather, and may oner a lower price. _ .

Need More Room? Raise the Roof to Gain Space _ f, Jr -- X Bl •km ' 1 ULbs

Don’t blew your top if your family is growing too fast for your house. Instead, raise the - That’s just wha't the owner of the house in the photograph did recently to make room for his expanding family- By literally raising the roof of his St. Louis bungalow, he added three bedrooms and space for a bath to what had been a five-room, onestory house. Like many owners of small houses on small lots, this family decided to go upward when they realized they couldn t build outward without taking up too much of their rear yard. Once the decision was made, the rest was comparatively easy. A new superstructure for walls and roof was ejected atop the old roof, and a new roof of asphalt shingles applied to give sure weather protection.

The owner chose asphalt shingles because of the reliable service they had given on the roof of the original house, and because he liked the silvery gray color used on the old roof. Before the interior was partitioned off and finished with gypsum board, the owner installed mineral w'ool four inches thick in the ceiling and three inches thick in the walls to insure summer comfort and economical winter heating. , Another savings was in the use of double-hung window units of ponderosa pine. These helped reduce labor costs, since they are assembled at the factory and need only be nailed into the window opening when they arrive at the building site. Total cost of the expansion, including roughed-in plumbing for the second-floor bathroom, was $2,700.
