Seeking To'Avert Strike By Packers ' CHICAGO (UPI) — Union and management will meet in lastminute negotiations tonight in an effort to head off a strike of 5,650 packinghouse workers at Wilson & Co. The United Packinghouse Workers of America have scheduled strikes at seven Wilson plants at 12:01 a.m. Sunday morning. • But Federal Mediator Douglas Brown said he would call the deadlocked negotiators together tonight in a last-ditch try to thwart the srike. Wilson plans already were running on borrowed time, since the threatened strike has been postponed several in past weeks, while negotiators sought to break the stalemate. Meanwhile, the threat of a second strike against Swift & Co. ended when the nation's largest meat packing firm reached an interim agreement with the independent National Brotherhood of Packinghouse Workers. The NBPW had refused to join the UPWA and the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen when the latter two unions struck Swift 15 days ago. Swift’s chief negotiator, R.F. Tagg, said the NBPW accepted a company offer of an 8%-cent an hour wage increase. The new two-year contract also included increased payments for shift operators from 15-25 per cent of Saturdays from 30-50 per cent on Sundays, and a 10 to 12- < cent an hour boost for night work. < The contract will cover 6,000 i NBPW members in Swif plants at South St. Joseph, Mo., Kansas City, Kan., Harrisburg, Pa., St. Louis, Mo., Marshalltown, lowa, and a distribution terminal at Wichita, Kan. But Swift employes in Fort Worth and San Antonio, Tex., will get only a 14-cent cost of living adjustment because of existing high wage levels there, Tagg said. Charles H. Alsip, regional director of the Federal Mediation Service, reported progress in his efforts to end the Swift strike, which has idled 18,000 workers at 36 plants. i

NOTES FROM 1 AFTER THIRTY I By JACK HELLER GESUNDHEIT " •' Art Hall, friendly clerk in Price’s u Nothing store, learned the hard way about the dangers of a sneeze, p Art threw a nerve in his hip out of 3 kelter with a lusty blast last win- 2 ’ter. The result was that he had to, s spend a couple of months in bed. d ■While he was laid up, he caught up on his correspondence, namely P with a cousin who is a nurse. * iWhere she worked they had three ? patients, one with two discs out of " place, one with three dislocated j discs, and one with some torn chest muscles over the heart — all e brought on by sneezes. OLD HAT t Mr. and Mrs.l Ward Calland’s s youngest grandson announced to k his parents recently that he didn’t v think he would go back to school t any more. He told his folks that r after you go so long it gets to be t old stuff. The young gentleman .<• had just completed his fourth day in the first grade. in s THE WEAKER SEX? Tom Allwein, the manager of the t Decatur Central Soya plant, is s quite a diplomat. When handing out the prizes at the McMillen \ home owners banquet Tuesday ( evening, he shook hands with all f the men who came up to receive the prizes. The prizes, cash f awards, were handed to the little V woman, though. This is either a I tribute to Tom’s diplomacy or to r Mrs. Allwein. Maybe he knows I where the money’s supposed to go. 1 ODE WRITTEN TO AN ' INNERSPRING MATTRESS ? O glorious sack, into whose tender arms we finally creep, j Where, in the spell of Morpheus, - we are wafted off in sleep. ( A salute to you who, after our 1 day of toil beyond compare, t Absorb our trials and troubles and send us forh without a care. WHAT A MESS We are in a process at home that about everyone goes through, , and about everyone detests —moving. Where does all that junk come from? Little odds and ends that you’ve forgotten you ever picked up, or can’t-remember ever buying. Despite the fact that most of it is junk, and doesn’t have a >use, the hardest part, of, moving is trying to decide what to bother with, and what to throw away. What one member of the family j thinsk we can do without, another feels should bs kept—“we might , need one of those some day.” One . item is considered necessary by •- every one—-the television set. MURDERER’S ROW Baseball clubs have been known for their powerful lineups, and there was a lineup at the Com- , munity Center Thursday’ afternoon that brought to mind the old YanThis wasn’t a lineup of batters, but a lineup of men who have served Decatur for many years. Bill Klepper, Guy Brown, Jack Neering, Carl Pumphrey, “Peck” Essex, Ted Graliker and Fritz Ashbaucher. These men all have 'one thing in common — they are successful men. Like Mister Mac, the man they were honoring, their success was not their single goal. Undoubtedly, these men wanted to achieve a comfortable life, but their success was the by-product of a life of fun and service. They didn’t go into things figuring what they could get out of it, but what they could put into it. That they got satisfaction and success out of it was merely a by-product of the way they live. Judging from the fortune they’ve had from that way of life, it must be a pretty good rule. Sister-In-Law Os Decatur Lady Dies Mrs. Louise Maloney, 90. former Fort Wayne resident, died Friday at Richmond. Her husband, John, preceded her in death. She is survived by a sister-in-law, Mrs. Dora I Laurent, of Decatur, and several 1 nieces and nephews.

Chinese Reds ” Fear Results Os K's Visit By EARNEST HOBERECHT UPI Vice President TOKYO (UPII — Chinese Communist leader Mao Tse-tung is worried about the visit of Soviet Premier Khrushchev to the United States, according to intelligence sources which have proved accurate in the past. These sources, who admit their information is almost two weeks old. said the Chinese Communist leader has told persons close to him that he i afraid Khrushchev will become infatuated with the idea of a “two-man summit” and bargain away many things of value to Russia’s allies in order t opromot e Russia's personal [ prestige on the world stage. The ources speculated that Khrushchev decided to visit China following his American trip, because he wants to be able to assure Mao that Russia and the Soviet bloc were strengthened, not weakened, by his Washington talks. Reds Monitor Wires When the Russian premier visits Red China, he will find that the Chinese Communists are well informed about his U.S. visit. He may wonder why, since the Peiping government does not have diplomatic relations with Washington and has no representatives and no press correspondents in the U.S. The answer is simple: Peiping government agencies monitor — without authorization — the complete United Press International world news report that is transmited all over he globe by radio-teletype. By listening to UPI world and regional transmitters, the Chinese Communists get well over 125,000 words of impartial, objective world news each day. While Khrushchev is in the United States, the Chinese will get thousands of words daily on his actions and statemens. Students of Asian affairs, in? eluding ome who know Mao, say the Chinese leader and his aides will study all press dispatches on the Soviet premier’s U.S. trip. The implication is that Mao will be very well informed and in a position to ask plenty of questions when Premier Khrushchev arrives in Pepng. Mao Still Debtor While Mao will be interested in hearing about what happened in America, he will not be sharp or demanding in his talks with the Soviet premier. It was not too long ago that he was the obedient servant of Moscow and was receiving considerable aid and supi port which enabled him to take over China. Today Mao may consider himself as an equal in the Communist camp. He may even consider himself superior so far as “theory” is concerned. However, he will not oon forget how much he owes to the Russians. The fear — whatever degree it may be — that has arisen in Peiping over the Khrushchev visit may ver well be much like that which developed in the ranks of America’s Allies. Some of those nations, too, were jittery, a bit worried that the United States might make a deal with Russia which would overlook he desires of the other Western partners. Muncie Man Drowns .Early This Morning SELLERSBURG, Ind. <UPI) — Robert Turner, 33, Muncie, drowned in Maple Crest Lake near Memphis early today.

Emergency landing Made By Airliner SHANNON. Ireland (UPD—An Air France Super-Constellation en route from New York to Paris with 21 persons made an emergency landing here today with its fuselage ripped open by a runaway propeller and only two of its four engines operating.

The huge airliner flew the last 400 miles over the Atlantic to a safe landing here with onl its two portside engines operating. Airport officials called it a "rare feat.” The plane was carrying 12 passengers and nine crew members. Pilot Andre Compere said his outer starboard engine developed trouble and “we had just got it feathered when.. . . whoosh. ...
