THEY’RE NOT DYING YOUNG Since the beginning of this century; the nation’s population has more than doubled. Most people just aren’t dying as young as they used to. In fact, the number of , people over 65 has not merely doubled—it has quadrupled since 1900. Folks are living longer, healthier, happier lives—because of the wonder drugs in the prescriptions that doctors write today.

Ivy launched a fund raising campaign Monday night on behalf of the controversial cancer drug krebiozen at a dinner attended by movie actress Gloria Swanson and Sen. Paul Douglas (D-Ill.). The University of Illinois physiologist also warned that if the National Cancer Institute does not act to give the drug a “fair test,” supporters of krebiozen will seek legislation to force a test. Ivy told guests at the testimonial dinner in his honor that a “taxexempt form of organization” will be organized to raise at least $350,000 to finance production of more krebiozen. “At the present rate of usage, all the krebiozen now available will be used up next summer,” Ivy said, “and those patients now dependenL on it will be left without it.” Convinced Os Value He said studies of about 1.000 persons treated with the drug have convinced him that krebiozen “is of value in the treatment of some cancer patients.” With further research and velopment, Ivy said, the drag? “may turn out to be more effective and provide a key to finding the cure of all cancers.” “Who is to be responsible if we cannot continue with at least the present extent of krebiozen’s use?” Ivy asked. “Certainly not I. “What sort of person would I be if I did not fight to keep this experimental work going on.” Miss Swanson, one of the sponsors of the dinner, said in a brief talk that she also is “a fighter.” She said, “We of the public must stand behind our officials and give them the courage to fight for things that are right like krebiozen.” Senate “Personal Fight” Douglas told of carrying his “personal fight” for krebiozen to the Senate last when he proposed the dnig be tested scientifically. The senator urged that 200 “presumably hopeless’’ cancer cases be used in the test, with 100 to be treated with krebiozen and the other 100 with currently acceptable methods of radiation and surgery. Douglas said most of the controversy has been between the Public Health Service and the National Cancer Institute. In the meantime, he said, the “hopeless” cancer cases are all but condemned to death. “I am doing this not to be an heroic politican, because I actually may lose popularity in some quarters,’’Douglas said, “but because I see nothing to be lost by a fair test . and everything to be gained.” First Rifle Training Class Held Sunday The first rifle training class, sponsored by the St. Mary’s and Blue Creek conservation club, was held Sunday at the clubhouse. Students at the first class were Lee Ehrsam, Ronnie Daniels, Terry Black, John Black, Fred Williams, John Bollenbacher, Bob Kelly, Wendel Kelly, Butch Williamson and Gary Clouse. Two more studenst can be accomodated if they attend the next class Sunday. Instructors are L. M. Wolfe, Louis Steffen, Glen Bates, Doyle Strayer and Don Gage. This is a course in rifle marksmanship, with special emphasis on safe handling of firearms. In addition to the rifle training, discussion is held each week on a subject related to hunting or firearms. Next Sunday’s subject will be on use of a compass to travel safely in mountains or forests. 1 Splattered Plaster Remove patching plaster that has splattered on a painted surface by scraping the area lightly with steel wool.

Meany Rule Is Challenged By Wall Reuther SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (UPI I Auto Workers President Walter Reuther challenged President George Many’s rule in the AFLCIO today in the most serious clash since the federation was formed four yeprs ago. TTie dispute erupted at a critical time when the AFL-CIO was risking a full-scale labor war with James R. Hoffa’s Teamsters Union over organizing of Puerto Rican workers. Reuther and Meany emerged smiling from a five and one-half hour special executive council session shortly after midnight and Reuther denied that toe possibility -rs a split in the organization was discussed. Offered To Resign “Nobody ever talked about busting anything up,” he said. “’Diere are understandings now on things which were misunderstandings.” However, the AFL-CIO vice president admitted that he had offered to resign as chairman of the merged union’s economic polcy committee in a dispute with Meany. Union sources said Reuther and six other former CIO officials -riticized Meany’s operating procedures, demanding more authority for committee chairmen who played a major part in setting policies in the former CIO union. Reuther and Meany also were reported to have clashed on Reu-’ Iher’s proposal that a march on Washington be organized to dramatize the nation’s unemployment problem. Meany was understood to be calling for a legislative con'erence instead. Most Serious Clash Informed observers said the -lash in leadership was toe most serious to have occurred since the AFL and CIO merged in 1955. The merged federation’s execuive council authorized Meany and AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Wiliam F. Schnitzler to charter a truckdrivers’ local to oppose the current teamster attempt to organize 12,000 Puerto Rican truckirivers and warehouse and construction workers. The order represents the first AFL-CIO challenge to the teamsters since the Hoffa union was jxpelled in December, 1957, on charges of being dominated by elements. v Labor observers predicted the Puerto Rican challenge could spread to the U.S. mainland and lead to open war between toe two unions with the teamsters retaliating by raiding AFL-CIO union locals. The new AFL-CIO union would give Puerto Rican workers an alternative to the union now being organized by the teamsters. Sf. Louis Newspaper Strike Is Continued ST. LOUIS (UPl)—Negotiators failed to reach agreement Monday night oh a new pension proposal offered bv striking newsmen in their toree-day walkout against the St. Louis Globe-Demo-crat. American Newspaper Guild rep resentatives said a 2Mt-hour meeting with management failed Jo produce an agreement on the pension plan, chief issue in the walkout. Management had no comment on toe bargaining session. The 322 newsmen walked out at 3 a m. Saturday, after the morning editions were on the street. Publisher Richard H. Amberg immediately cancelled Sunday editions and there has been no attempt to publish the morning newspaper since then. A Guild spokesman said the new pension plap, adopted unanimously by 250 strikers at a meeting Monday, would cost “less than $5,000 a year over the present pension cost for retired, Guild em- . ploy GS. * * But Globe-Democrat representatives said the proposal would cost $1,120,000 a year in funding for .20 years. I The' Guild answered that the modified proposal “for only $17,264 in token funding represents a tremendous reduction from that of the original Guild proposal.” Marvin L. Korn/iauser, a Detroit actuary who drew up the new plan, said it would represent about $52,000 annual in funding. “If Mr. Amberg’s figures are correct, this would mean that the Guild’s new plan reduces the annual investment by $1,068,000,” Komhauser said.

Originated in 1865, the Salvation" Army has adopted toe responsibility for spiritual as well as physical needs of those who come under its influence. The responsibility assumes a guidance form, ratoer than a hard and fast rule for those associated within its scope of operation. In 1958, 21,866 nights’ lodgings were provided and 69,296 meals were served throughout toe nation to individuals who needed assistance. In all, IJS centers in larger communities participated in this work. Individuals or agencies, such as policemen, clergymen, veterans, organizations, court and prison sources, Travelers Aid, Red Cross, and other agencies referred needy applicants to toe Salvation Army for help. The Salvation Army affords each applicant religious direction, wholesome leisure time activity, counseling and guildance, health and physical welfare, and creative work as outlets for those who seek these benefits. The Fort Wayne center maintains 13 pieces of automotive equipment, including nine van trucks to promote a full scale program, employing many men to keep this operation functional. By phoning Anthony 9452 in Fort Wayne., or dropping in at toe Decatur store, local citizens can keep this work continuing, when they have clothing, shoes, furniture, toys, paper, and any other useful articles to donate.
