Luther H. Hodges of North Carolina that the new executive committee of the conference consider inviting the heads of 15 Soviet republics to next year’s governors conference to return the recent visit of American governors to Russia. —A resolution asking Congress to reject President Eisenhower s request for a higher gasoline tax and to divert other automobile exise taxes into the interstate highway program. —A resolution sponsored by six Democratic governors calling for an early end to the three-week-old steel strike and the appointment of a governors committee to meet with Eisenhower to explore possible solutions.

(UPD—Two refining units at the strike-bound Oil Refinery here have been reopened for limited operations by supervisory personnel. But union officials immediately complained to local and state fire authorities that the company was risking a disastrous fire which could not be controlled without the help of striking petroleum workers. About 4,800 members of the Independent Petroleum Workers of America set up picket lines at the plant July 28 in a dispute over job security and a 36-hour work week. Arthur F. Endres, manager of the refinery, the nation’s third largest, said Monday supervisory personnel would man refinery units because the company has an obligation to its customers. Moreover, he said, the union “has refused to bargain realistically or to accept the principles of management’s right and responsibility to control operation of the business.” “I have seen no change in their attitude, so we have to get to work without further delay,” said Endres. Company spokesmen also denied the union’s charge that the action posed a fire threat to the community. The spokesmen said that supervisory personnel are experts in manning the refinery units and many of them prepared training manuals and taught union workers how to operate the machinery. k . Federal mediators said no further talks have been arranged. There were reports, meanwhile, that the union has dropped demands for a 36-hour work week.

Relates Family Plight In Days Os Civil War

(Editor’s note: Mrs. James F. Halberstadt, Sr., of Pleasant Mills, has written the following account of a Hoosier family during the Civil War. While the older generation still remembers vividly such tales as told by their parents, many younger people have never been close to the horrors of total war. Mrs. Halberstadt is a member of the Adams county historical society.) The heroism of a multitude of wives and mothers ’of Hoosier soldiers who fought and died for the Union can never be made known to this generation. It is later than we think. A diminutive but brave little wife, not quite fivet feet tall, bid farewell to her husband in Greensburg, Ind., on a day late in February as he ehtrained for further training to be prepared to meet the enemy and give, if need be. his life to safe-guard all that was . near and dear to him. As she slowly led her two-year-old daughter away from the depot platform, she buried a secret deep within her breast. While the husband was receiving training in Greensburg, he rented rooms that his wife and two daughters, aged six and two, might be with him as much of the time as possible, until the train came that would carry him away. During the few weeks’ stay in Greensburg her school-aged daughter contracted a disease that caused her death. The mother would gq/back to their home near Morris, Ripley county, anti keep the homefires burning until he returned. What a tragic picture, the tiny I woman, her husband off to stop . bullets with his body, if need be, her oldest daughter lying buried beneath the winter's, snow. The ' two-year-old daughter to be cared for, and a secret that must be hid from her husband because he was ’ facing more than she. I He wrote her regularly and also , mailed Peterson's magazine; reading material was scarce and hard to find in rural places during the ’ Civil War. ' She would get someone to stay ’ with her two-year-old child and she would walk a mile and a half i ■ Three Cases Heard ! In Mayor's Court f Three cases were heard in may- | or’s court Monday with receiving • dispositions and the third party posted a $25 bond preparatory to filing an appeal to the circuit court on the verdict of guilty handed down yesterday on the charge of improper passing. Walter C. Ciiver, 63, of Monroe, waived arraignment and pleaded not guilty to the improper passing charge entered by the state police. .

Her most satisfactory source of information was talking with the telegraph operator, because he knew later news than that published in the weeklies. 1116 preachers in the neighborhood organized the able-bodied t older men and big boys to chop wood for the families whose head of the house was in the service of their country. Kind friends and relatives tilled the fields that they might have food to eat and food to help win the war and bring the boys home. Her husband felt that not all was well with the little girl he had wooed and won and left behind. His letters entered the secret chambers of her heart and she told him the family circle would be increased in November. "He obtained a furlough for the occasion. The baby daughter was not born until the night before his furlough expired. The most vivid memory his wife had of his leaving was when he passed through the outside kitchen door, pass the well, and she heard him pump a drink. The sound of the pump haunted her until he returned Imagine the horrible punishment he went through, leaving his wife, , child, and new-born babe in a log-, cabin on a farm, winter coming on find they dependent upon the help of friends and relatives. War is all that Sherman said it was! The husband was blown 60 feet in the premature explosion of a cannon that he was helping to man. What a price they paid for victory in the Civil War. I am sure you would like to know how I know the story of this woman’s heroism. She told me. She was my husband's maternal grandmother. She had cherished the Peterson magazines and had preserved them, so he had them bound into a book. Her name is in gold on the front cover. I have that book. It reads: A. D. Hazen, for Adeline (David) Hazen. This was written by her oldest grand--son’s wife, Mrs. James F. Halberstadt, Sr., of route 6, Decatur. Monday. James L. Ball was fined $1 and costs with 10 days jail sentence suspended on a charge of drivingwhile his license was suspended, on old U. S. 27 Wednesday.
