May Appeal Ruling On Du Pont And 6M CHICAGO (UPD—Federal attorneys said today they may appeal the court ruling permitting I the Du Pont industrial empire to keep its 63 million shares of Gen- > eral Motors stock. Federal Judge Walter J. Lat Buy Friday stripped. DuPont of all voting rights in GM business, . but overruled a government demand that DuPont dispose of its . 3 billion dollars worth of stock in the giant auto firm. The government lawyers said they would have to study La Buy’s ruling before deciding . whether to appeal it to the Supreme Court. Some court observt ers predicted such an appeal would be made. La Buy’s action ended a 10-year , court battle. In 1957. the Supreme Court sent the case back to LaBuy’s court for disposal after overruling his 1954 decision that • DuPont’s GM holdings were not 1 monopolistic. The high court had ruled that 1 the influence of the one industrial giant upon the other constituted a “tendency toward monopoly.” La Buy’s plan was a compromise leaning toward the DuPont argument. The government had asked the 20 million shares of the stock be sold on the open market during the next 10 years and the other 43 million shares be divided among DuPont shareholders. DuPont asked to be allowed to retain ownership and continue to draw dividends, but turn its votes over to individual DuPont stockholders.

Former Decatur Lady Tells Os Paris Visit

(Editor’s Note: The article below is ? personal account of a trip to Paris by former Decatur resident, Mrs. Maud L. Mahan. She spent several days in Paris and Luxembourg with her daughter, Mrs. Mary Casanova and her family.) We walked along the ChampsElysees, past the sidewalk cases, to the Arc de Triumphe. Nearby is the grave of the Unknown Soldied, where a flame burns continuously. Our victorious troops marched through this Arc after both World Wars. President Eisenhower returned a visit here late in August. We then went to the top of the Eiffel Tower, 1,000 feet high, which gives one a grand view of the city. After visiting the Louvre Museum, which is the largest palace in the world, we saw the statue of Venus de Milo, the original painting of the Mona Lisa and many other beautiful works of art. We then visited the Versailles palace built by the King of France when things got uncppifortable in the city ; the tomb/of Napoleon; the little Statue of Liberty; .sidewalk book stolls; on the River Seine; and many beautiful churches including Notre Dame, which is on a small island, Place de la Cite, n the heart of Paris. We usually ate at the American Embas-y restaurant, which is operated for American employes, service men and their families. And to top off one night’s activities Reckless Driving Charged Motorist The city police arrested Benjamin B. Mendoza, 909 N. 12th street, charging him with reckless driving, when he lost control of his car on city streets and smashed into j parked car at 522 Jefferson. The Mendoza car caused $450 in damage, with the parked car owned by John Doan receiving S2OO in damages. The Mendoza machine, heading west on Jefferson, sideswiped the parked Doan car. Damages to the Mendoza car were noted at $250. He is slated to appear in city court Oct. 5 at 9 a.m. The accident occurred at 12:48 p.m. Fyday. Swift Co. Proposal Rejected By Union CHICAGO (UPD — The 19,000man strike against 37 Swift & Co. plants went into its fifth week today with no negotiations scheduled. The latest company proposals were .-ejected Friday by 75 representatives of two meat workers unions. They voted to continue the strike until they are given a contract to match that negotiated with other major meat packing firms. Rejection of the Swift offer was announced by Thomas J. Lloyd, Amaigimated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workers president, at the end of a two-day meeting here. In a joint resolution, the union representatives said “after one month on strike, we find our position more solid than ever and our determination to win this strike increases with each day as Swift and company delays a fair and equitable settlement.” The delegates said there are “dozens” of issues yet unsettled, including the setting up of a company - financed “automation fund” similar to one negotiated with Armour & Co. and the granting of identical wage increases for workers in northern and southern plants. Meanwhile, negotiations were in progress in Milwaukee between the UPW and the Patrick Cudahy packing firm in an attempt to avert a -trike of 1,500 workers. The company’s latest offer will be presented to the workers Monday by the union. Twenty small independent Milwaukee meat packers signed a new contract covering 500 workers Friday with Local 248 of the UPW.

we saw the Follies Bergere. The last day we saw the Palace of Versailles where the peace treaty of W. W. I was signed. A guided t°ur through the palace showed acres and acres of gardens with flowers blooming and the many spouting water fountains. We drove to Luxembourg and stopped at an American cemetery on the outskirts. The grave of General George Patton and rows and ro.vs of white crosses marked the resting place of 5,000 American soldiers who died fighting for their country on foreign soil. The graves of the Jewish soldiers were marked with little white stars, instead ct the cross. A la ge white memorial monument near the entrance arch has the names enscribed in brass of all the soldiers resting within. The cemetery is well cared for and is in an excellent location. The graves are visited by hundreds of Americans each year. We know not where the ocean rolls, Or where the tall palms sway. We only know Our Father’s House Is just a prayer away. Sleep on brave lads, you've earned your rest: And now your crosses white Will guide us safely through the day And lead us through the night. Soon we shall hear the bugle call All sorrow then will fade away, Life's battle will be won. NOTES FROM AFTER THIRTY I ■ By JACK HELLER ) WHAT’S THIS? One of the local business execuI tives was having a busy day a few years back. He had bustled ' through the morning, and hurried . home to eat. After a quick meal, . it was back to the hustle. As he ■ walked through the office, he not- > ed several people looking at him like something was wrong. Finally someone asked him if he had eaten at home, or in a restaurant. The man answered that he had eaten at home, but what difference did it make. He was told that he just brought his own napkin along then, and not some restaurants. Sure enough, tucked firmly into his belt, was his noon napkin. SOUNDS FAMILIAR Last weekend, during the moving, one of the chores I got stuck with was going through a stack of old records to see what was to be kept, and what was to be thrown away. It was also my job to carry the records upstairs, so we didn’t keep many of them, but it was interesting going through them. Some of them were collected by my wife and me, some of them by us before we were married, and some of them by our parents. They covered about 40 years of records. It was surprising how many of them are still around, either records or performers. Songs like "Bye Bye Blackbird" and “Whispering” are still heard. Every few years Dixieland gets a revival, and some of the earliest Louis Armstrong tunes are brought back. We hated to part with "The Dipper Mouth Blues,” and “Mahogany Hall Stomp," and other sentimental ballads, but when you have to carry them upstairs, a lot can be sacrificed. Looking over the orchestras made us wonder what happened to the dance bands. Time was when it was the band that was the attraction ahd*the singer was just a singer. Today, you seldom hear the name of the band, only the name of the butcher gargling the tune<?). One of the great alltime hits, “Stardust,” was originally written as a rag-time tune. At least time has improved that. One disappointment—we couldn’t find one of our treasures. It was; an old recording of “Yes, We Have ■ No Bananas.” Time marches on. I SMACK! * Mary Rash, five-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gene Rash, started to kindergarten this year. After a few days, she told her parents that one of the boys in the class was kissing the girls, and had kissed her, too. Gene asked his daughter where the young man had kissed her. Mary promptly responded, “on the chair.”

END OF THE ROAD > Lyman Hann and his traveling along highway 37 into Indianapolis a few years back, enjoying the trip. They were particularly impressed with the new road, and the engineering and safety features incorporated in it. For a while, that is. Suddenly they came to a barricade —road ends. They were detoured around a field, onto the old road for a couple of miles, and then back onto the smooth new highway, in- - to Indianapolis. Curious as to the break in the road, they inquired around. The road was started simultaneously from Indianapolis going north, and from Noblesville going south. Work went along fine, and the new highway was near completion. When the two ’ branches were about three miles. apart, the work stopped. Through an oversight, no right-of-way was! owned through the strip, or access to it wasn’t available yet. At least the two branches of the beautiful 1 new highway did not join for about six months. Finally, the difficulty was ironed out. and now travelers can enjoy the fine highway. SALUTE TO A FIGHTER One of the scrappiest residents of this fair city, one who has had to fight nature’s toughest blows, and man’s toughest materials, looks like it’s finally succumbing to pestilence. A branch of an elm tree has fought its way free on the north side of the river bridge on Monroe street. This little tree battled through concrete for its and then struggled through ice and flood to keep its place. Now, it looks as though ' the blight has started to turn it brown. Could be that it's only the fall weather—hate to see a real competitor lose out after a good - fight.
