Use Os Coupons On Increase In Nation By GAY PAULEY DPI Woman’s Editor NEW YORK (UPD — If it'll save money in the grocery division, most of us are all for it. That' is why in recent months I find myself frantically saving coupons, adding this habit to older ones of pasting trading stamps in little books or finishing such lines as “I like Mrs. Gulek’s bean soup because.” It turns out that I'm just one of the millions of women who today at a record rate are saving coupons like crazy from soap, cereal, coffee, frozen food and other grocery products. Those little slips of paper announcing "five cents off on next purchase” add up to a billioh dollar business. Coupon-ing has reached the stage that now we shoppers can buy and entire magazine of nothing but coupons to return to th?

manufacturer for cash. Coupon Use Increases "Some 10 billion coupons worth 1 billion dollars are offered annually as extra food and grocery money.” said Paul S. Willis, president of the Grocery Manufacturrers of America. “Their use is steadily increasing; they arc very 1 popular.” Add this cash-in value to the worth of merchandise given s through trading stamps and other ? premium methods and we con- • sumers are receiving 3.4 billion s dollars a year in “extras” at our 1 markets, retailes say. s The Premium Advertising Assn, of America estimated the total wholesale value of premiums ' other than coupon “cash” at 2.4 1 billion dollars a year. This latter • figure includes trading stamps. 1 box-top offers, the in-p ack age ’ products ranging from dishes to 5 toys, and awards in contests to complete a limerick or finish a ’ line such as "I like so-and-so detergent because.” Both trading stamps and cou--1 pons are old in the merchandising ’ world. Most sources credit a soap manufacturer with stallin'* cou- , pons in 1853. Schuster’s department store in Milwaukee offered trading stamps in 1892, and stamps ns we know them today at food markets, gasoline stations, drug and other stores, were introduced in 1896 by I Sperry and Hutchinson. , A spokesman for S and H said the trading stamp “boom” began in the 1940's when food stores began offering them. The firm now estimates that 35 million families save theirs and-or their competi- [ tors’ stamps. , i The retail value of merchandise exchanged runs between 450 and 500 million dollars a year. And premiums range from blankets to barbecue equipment to baseball bats. Some stamp firms offer theater tickets and trips. Now Sell Coupon Magazine But trade sources report a “levelling off” in the stamp business —to the extent that the increase in 1958 over 1957 was less than in previous years. [ To boost the coupon business, j and also ease the book-keeping headaches of merchants, the Kable Printing Co., is out with “Cou>pon Magazine,” which costs the [shopper 20 cents but includes $5 in coupons redeemable in cash. Its publishers say the circulation of the first edition was two million copies to stores along the [Atlantic Coast. Its second edition, I May 14. is expected to reach [three million in the East and another two million on the Pacific Coast. All the homemaker needs do is clip the coupons, save parts oi I packages or wrappers as prescribed on each 2 mail to a cen[tral point, and get a check back. : And, buy the products of course.

Indiana Politicos j. • 4 Plan For Elections

By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—lndiana politicos, after saying au revoir to the State Legislature, now arefinvolved in planning for this year’s municipal elections, for the 1960 state campaigns and for the faraway 1962 senatorial struggle. The effect of legislative doings on the fortunes of both GOP and Democratic hopefuls -is being weighed carefully by the political pros. Lt. Gov. Crawford F. Parker remains the leading candidate for i the Republican gubernatorial bid. I He had dark days after the GOP I debacle last November accompanied by the slaughter of * f right to work” in many states, including neighboring Ohio. But the parliamentary maneu- , vers that saved this controversial I labor law during the legislative, session appear to have likewise salvaged the Parker candidacy for governor. Also aiding Parker is, his cooperation in passing the* supplemental unemployment benefits bill and hiking jobless insurance and workmen’s compensation benefits. Bontrager Not Flashy Sen. D. Russell Bontrager, Elkhart, another possibility for the GOP title for governor, was not as flashy as usual during the session but made a creditable showing. _ Word has seeped from Washington that another strong Republican possibility, Rep. William G. Bray, Martinsville, has decided to remain in Congress to become eligible for the maximum congressional pension. ■ Other ‘ Republicans mentioned for governor include State Chairman Robert W. Matthews: former Supreme Court Justice James A. Emmert, Shelbyville, and Cable G. Ball, Lafayette, GOP House floor leader. No Republican to date has . trotted out on the track to fight renomination for Sen, Homer E , Capehart in 1962; but the present Statehouse faction of the party is likely -to groom someone later. Sen. Matthew E. Welsh, Vincennes, Democratic Senate floor leader, continues to lead the pack i for his party’s nomination for governor. He played both the conservative and liberal angles during the [ recent session and appears not to have hurt himself. Welsh has formidable backing in the 4th. sth, 7th (his home area), Bto (through Sen. Vance Hartke), and 11th (through former National Chairman Frank McKinney) districts. On the liberal side. Sen. Marshall F. Kizer, Plymouth, seems to have strengthened his ambition for the Democratic gubernatorial title, perhaps with support from National Chairman Paul M. Butler and from the Ist and 3rd districts. Tucker to Try Again? The flashiest Democratic performer during the .session was I Sen. S. Hugh i who carried the bahamost of the time for the legislative observer said he is about the only senator who had the courage to tie into Sen. Bontrager on the floor. Dillin, however, is reported to aspire more to the U.S. Senate than to the governor’s chair. Terre Haute Mayor Ralph Tucker, the 1956 nominee, is reported to be ready to try again, despite political setbacks since that time. Always in the background is the threat of Roger D. Branigin, Lafayette, former president of the Indiana State Bar Association. The record of Birch Bayh Jr., [West Terre Haute, as house I speaker, was much better than I when he was floor leader, according to many observers. Despite his youth, he is being mentioned seriously for the 1962 senatorial bid. Some of his friends, however, have said it would be better for Bayh to take it easier and more gradually by running for lieutenant governor next yea. Sen. Eugene Bainbridge, Munste, Demo-

cratic caucus chairman, likewise has been mentioned for lieutenant governor. Unquestionably, Sen. Ruel Steele, Bedford, is a political "natural,” but his constant statement is that he wishes to remain in Bedford and develop his law practice. It would be 'unwise for Republicans to count him out for either governor or lieutenant governor, however. [New Lease On Life For Card Kibitzer By PATRICIA MCCORMACK f United Press International NEW YORK (UPD—The kibit•zer — that much maligned indiI victual who always knows the card ’you should have played—is about "to get a new lease on life. "He’s about to change his status from gazing pest to paying guest,” said John B. Powers, executive secretary of the Assn, of American Playing Card Manufacturers. “And it’s all due to the*'modern magic df the television camera, which has just proved that bridge and other card games can be exciting spectator sports.” £ prvX/r, at vui UHig tt_> FuWVTO, came last week end when a New York television station poked its kibitzing cameras over the shoul- ' ders of U.S. and Italian bridge experts playing in the final rounds of the International Bridge Tournament. Could View Hands The players were enclosed in a glass e d-in. soundproof booth where they could also be seen by the nearly 500 spectators who crowded the room in a New York hotel. , I The hands they were playing were shown on a nine-foot-square electronic board called a “bridgearama.” The players, of course, had to sweat it out without the help of electronics. They couldn’t see the board. But as each card was played in the booth, a light blinked behind the appropriate card on the electronic board, then went dark as the trick was completed. "Just like spectators at any other sports event, the kibitzers were free to cheer, boo, and shout iwhen they felt like it,’ Powers said. Behind Glass "Rut this was one time when the kibitzers could not bother the players with their free advice. The players were safely quarantined behind soundproof glass walls like so many people-sized goldfish.” Kibitzers are named after a 1 German bird, the kiebitz. The bird is noted for both its curiosity and the way it protects its eggs. ■The kiebitz flaps its wings in the face of an egg-hunter, annoying him greatly. Powers said the Germans coined the word ‘ kibitzer” years ago when it became apparent that toe buttinsky sort of cardplayer or spectator and toe kiebitz were act-alikes. It takes a lot of people to keep the kibitzers at bay the electronic way. Not counting television crews, 14 specialists pitched in at the ntemational championship tourney. Unwelcome Visitor MOSCOW (UPD—The Literary Gazette says a Baptist congregation in the Soviet border city of Brest wants no more of such ‘Western phophets” as Martin A. Nordfors, an American. — The paper said tourist Nordfors distributed 200 Russian-language Bibles in Brest in 1956. It said he returned last year by car with more Bibles and 215 copies of an anti-Socialist tract requesting contributions for missionary work in Africa.

Americans consumed about 215 million gallons of distilled spirits in 1958.

International Bank Funds Running Low By FRANK ELEAZER United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD-The witness looked like a banker about to say no. This was only partly right. He wanted the worst way to say yes. What put the frown lines in his face was the prospect that Congress won’t let him hand out the money. I It was Treasury Secretary Robert B. Anderson, wearing dark blue suit, vest, white shirt and black tie, rimless glasses and with a white handkerchief precisely squared off in his b?east pocket. He was appearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in his role as United States i director not of one bank but two, : both of them international and ' both busy lending to people all over the world money that tends Ito be mostly American. ■ — Cash Running Low What his testimony boiled down to was that both the International Monetary Fund and the International Bank are running low on cash, and that Uncle Sam right away must ante up $1,375,000,000 extra to keep the loan business humming. The part the members couldn’t understand though was that we want to do this right now, when we are about broke ourselves, instead of next year, when we will be better off. Anderson explained that there may be an international crisis any time, and that “one can never tell which country might need help.” I Chairman J. William Fulbright |(D-Ark.) seemed to think this was , right and that maybe it might be 'Uncle Sam himself next in line >for a loan, especially if he has to put up this extra dough now. Government In Hock Fulbright called attention to the fact that our government this fiscal year is already in hock for * about 13 billion dollars, whereas next fiscal year, which starts July 1, President Eisenhower claims he’s prepared to operate in the black. Fulbright is a gentleman and much too polite to say right out what he had in mind here. Other i Democrats have contended that 'Anderson’s two banks don’t really need the money now, but that Ike wants it to show up on the current budget, which is already in the red, instead of next year’s, when it would wipe out the small surplus he has promised.

So why, Fulbright asked Anderson. slipping his needle in ever so gently, can’t we wait on this until sometime around tire first of July? Cites Berlin Problem Anderson said well there is the Berlin problem ahead, and We wouldn’t want the well to run dry at a time like that. Besides, he said, this country sponsored the increase and has been pressing the 67 other participating countries to get up their share. He said it wouldn’t look good now if we dragged our feet. Body Chemistry Is Disrupted By Cancer By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — “Surgical thought” has been drastically broadened to indict cancer as an over-all aggressor against the whole body. The common scientific thought of cancer is of a localized malignant tumor which may or may not establish colonies elsewhere in the body. Dr. James D. Hardy, a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, who did this thought-broad-ening, went so far as to suggest that cancer kills tiecause it has utterly disrupted body chemistry, particularly the chemistry of defense, rather than because a growing tumor (or tumors) finally shuts down one vital body function. Editorializing in the college’s technical journal. Hardy in effect urged other cancer thinkers to broaden their thoughts. Broadened thought could lead to some way of reviving the defensive chemistry in the body of the cancer victim or to some way of protecting all his cells from the destructive effects of the tumor on all body systems. Deal Closely With Cancers Surgical thought on cancer is pertinent because surgeons deal more intimately with cancers in human being than other group. Many things broadened Hardy's thought. One was a cancer which developed in the surgical scar of a patient 15 years after a whole tumor had been cut out. He recalled the patients whose tumors had grown ever so slowly for years, only to spread suddenly and far. It is evident that each body has a built-in chemical defense against cancer which is stronger or weaker in some bodies tha“n in others. Then Hardy asked the big question: “What forces have held these cancer cells dormant or at least in check for so lortg?” “There is at least one factor by

which, the tumor begins to overpower the patient, namely, the aggressive ‘biologic activity’ of the tumor breaks through the immunity of the host,” he said. Lack Cause of Death How does it overpower the chemical defenses’ He pointed to a number of known chemical phenomena iof cancers in human beings as indications that this overpowering takes place on such a subtle chemical level as the enzymes, those being the chemical activators that regular chemical processes. He recalled that in many cancer deaths, no obvious cause of death can be found at autopsy—what killed the patient “may be

almost completely obscure. Cer- , tainly no major organic function need be grossly interefered with.” For instance, some cancer victims die of malnutrition. Their appetites are gone and they don't eat. But if they're forced fed by stomach tube, their bodies no longer utilize the nutrients although the appropriate chemistry is not severely affected by cancer. Whatever progress can be made along the line of his “surgical thought,” it is evident .to him that “the cause of death in the presence of far advanced cancer is an extensive derangement of normal bio-chemical functions.” Hardy practices in Jackson, Miss.
