Farm Price Promise Remember ’way back to Oct. 4, 1952, when “candidate” Eisenhower at Brookings, S.D., said, “The Republican party is pledged to the. sustaining of the 90% parity price support and it is pledged even more than that to helping the farmer obtain his full parity, 100% parity, with the guarantee in the price supports of 90.” Be sure to keep that in mind when you attend or read about the outlook meeting for 1960—the last year of the Eisenhower reign. • • • • Eight Local Men i For eight Adams county men, national pharmacy week will have special significance—they are the men behind the counter—your pharmacists. National pharmacy week started Sunday and continues through Saturday, and is the occasion for paying tribute to the thousands of pharmacists who, ehch in his quiet way, does so muqh to keep the health of the nation at a high level. Dean of all the pharmacists in the county id Leo Yager, who has had his license a number of years, but still keeps it up, although he is more than 90 -years of age. For many years Mr. Yager operated his own drug store here, apd presently he is an associate at Holthouse Drug store. There are 110,000 registered pharmacists in the United States, and about 90% of them work in retail pharmacies. There are 54,500 drug stores in the country. Since 1932, druggists have been required to have four years of college work in one of the nation’s 76 colleges of pharmacy before they can practice. Next year the minimum requirements will be five years. Many colleges already require six years. They must then pass a rigid state board test; many states require a year of internship in addition. What your pharmacist possesses in special knowledge and skill, he acquired the hard way—by years of study encompassing a vanity of subjects. His education, like that of any professional man, never stops. Continued “reading up” on new developments is a must. In Decatur, besides Mr. Yager, there are four active druggists working professionally — Elmo Smith, Ray Kohne, Dan Freeby, and Louis Jacobs. In addition, Dr. Gerald Kohne is also a registered pharmacist. In Berne, Fred Kirsch is the druggist, and in Ge- — neva, Sidney Buckmaster. All of these men are key figures in the never-end- | ing campaign against disease and discomfort. It is a 1 real pleasure for us to salute them this week with words and thoughts of praise.

Fired TV Engineer Halted Series On TV

MARQUETTE. Mich. (UPI) - Officials scratched their heads today about just what charges to place against a man who used a simple household scouring pad to wipe out television broadcast of the first three games of the World Series for the entire Michigan Upper Peninsula. Harold William Lindgren, 38, Marquette, was mad because he was fired as an engineer from WLUC-TV in Marquette. Station Manager John Borgen said Lindgren was fired for “insubordination,” and he wanted to get back at the station. So he hatched what Borgen caUed “a diabolical plot." WLUCTV had gone to considerable trouble and expense to get the World Series piped into its station —the only TV station to carry the World Series to the Upper Peninsula. Borgen said Lindgren swiped a common steel wool scouring pad from his wife’s sink, and drove 30 miles to a microwave relay station at Lathrop. He climbed the tower and, using a ball-point pen, stuffed the scouring pad into the relay equipment. The scouring pad worked better on the television picture signal than it ever did on the pots and pans at home. Positively spoUess. Came last Thursday and the first game of the World Series. Sound but no picture came from WLUC-TV in Marquette. Fridaysame thing. WLUC - TV could broadcast its own programs fine, but no World Series. Borgen said his station had advertised the series far and wide. The sponsors were angry. But their wrath was nothing to the anger of the fans of the Upper Peninsula. Borgen called in experts from Milwaukee and Chicago and they went over his equipment checking all parts—at exhorbitant prices. Everything worked—but no World Series pictures. Finally, somebody decided to check out the microwave relay tower at Lathrop. Some of the equipment there was taken apart before the scouring pad was found. Meanwhile. Sunday’s game was washed out, because the equipment could not be reassembled and readjusted in time. State police were called in and questioned Lindgren at his home. He admitted everything. Asked why he put the scouring pad in the tower. Lindgren said: "So they couldn’t get the series. I was mad at the chief engineer for tiring me.” o - 20 Years Ago Today o - Oct. 6. 1939—Suit was filed in the Adams circuit court seeking to mandate the advisory board of Monroe township to issue bonds up to 340,000 to build an addition to the Monroe school.

Alleged Torture Os Servicemen Scored ROME (UPl)—The arrest and alleged tourture of American servicemen by Turkish authorities in Izmir is threatening U,S.-Turkish relations and the morale of Americans stationed there. Four American sergeants were arrested Aug. 2 on currency violation charges. The plainclothes Turkish police in Izmir who captured them were reported to have set a trap for the men—using a Turkish policewoman. According to the men they were taken to a crude cell under a stable outside of town and held without food, water or a place to sleep. One of the men claimed he was tortured by police, including being hung by his ankles and beaten on the soles of his bare feet. The four Americans appeared at a preliminary hearing in the Turkish courts but the trial was recessed until Oct. 9. The public prosecutor has asked for jail sentences ranging from one to five years. From that opening the troubled events have mushroomed. Last week three high officers at the NATO base in Izmir—where the men were stationed — were transferred to other jobs or “relieved” of their posts. Indications were that the moves were made because the three men were instrumental in protesting the alleged torture and apathy of U.S. State Department officials in doing anything about it. According to rports reaching here, the incident not only has caused a strain on relations between the United States and Turkey, but has seriously affected the morale of the men stationed in “We don't give a damn if the men are guilty or not,” explained one source. “No human being should have a confession extracted from him by torture—particularly by civilized Western country that is an ally.” The four Americans who were arrested are: Army Sgt. Dale M. Mccuistion, 28, Van Nuys, Calif. Air Force T.Sgt. James D. King, 41, Ruth, Miss. Air Force S.Sgt. Joseph Proietti, 33, Mount Kisco, N.Y. Air Force S.Sgt. Giacomo (Jack) Recevuto, 32, Brooklyn, N.Y. Mccuistion and King claimed they underwent torture by Turkish police directly after the arrest. Motorist Is Fined ? For Drunken Driving A Bryant motorist received a SSO fine on one charge of driving while under the influence, lost his driving privileges for one year, and had a 10-day jail sentence suspended in city court following his arrest last night by sheriff Merle Affolder. John Henry Baumer. 48. of route 1, Bryant, was involved in a onecar accident on state road 116 at 8:30 pm. Monday with damages to the car amounting to $250. The Baumer vehicle was headed east on the highway when he lost control, hit a culvert, and rolled over. He was not injured. Baumer also received a $1 fine and costs charges on a public intoxication charge. Youth Is Sentenced For Provoking Riot INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) —Harley Lepper, 17. Indianapolis, was sentenced to 30 days in jail Monday by Municipal Judge Noble Pearcy for his part in provoking a riot of teenagers at a shopping center here last Friday. Police said the fracas started when Lepper yelled for help following his arrest for disturbing a dance. He pleaded guilty to charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. “I’m mixed up,” Lepper said.

Piece Os Moon Rock Is Goal Os Scientists WASHINGTON (UPI) — Scientists would rattier have a genuine, pedigreed piece of moon rock than any TV picture of the moon's r other side. I Such a moon chunk might well confirm what many scientists bej lieve—that the earth often has been peppered with bits of lunar f matter some of which are even now on display in natural history museums as meteorites. Gain More Information If it did, scientists would be in • a position quickly to learn in their 1 own laboratories more about the ■ moon's composition than they could hope to learn in years from > any telephoto pictures. Russia's Lunik 111 may, as one i U.S. space scientist said, mark I "the beginning of space flight.** More important from the specialI ized field of liular investigation is > the fact that it may be a first ■ step toward getting a bona fide piece of the moon for comparison , with specimens long since dispatched to earth by natural means. Sooner or later, the United States or the Soviet Union is going to hit the moon with a robot or manned vehicle capable of scooping up some moon matter and bringing it back. Foresee No Difference Lunk 111 may get crude pictures of the moon’s other side, . the one forever hidden from earthlings. But few scientists believe such pictures will reveal much difference from the face turned toward the earth. In any case such pictures would not resolve many a controversy such as whether lunar craters are of meteoric or volcanic origin. So what both American and Soviet scientists really want is a real piece of the moon itself. Undecided British Hold Power Balance LONDON (UPI) — Both major contenders in Britain’s neck-and-neck campaign sought today to woo the ifidecideH voterfs (who will hold the balance of power in Thursday’s parliamentary election. ■ A poll published by the liberal News Chronicle showed the Conservatives and Laborites tied, with 37.5 per cent each of the voters who have made up their minds. The pollsters found that 20.5 per cent of the people they talked to don’t know how they’ll vote, a 2 per cent increase in a week. The findings of other polls differed in detail—the Conservative Daily Express, for example, showed the Conservatives leading the Laborites 43 per cent to 40— but there was general agreement that the number of undecided voters is increasing. Labonte Leader Hugh Gaitskell made a pitch for the “don’t know” vote in a television address Monday night, and Prime Minister Harold Madmillan is expected to do the same when he goes on the air tonight. , Despite White House denials, Macmillan repeated Monday that “the way is open” for an EastWest summit meeting. He said he will “keep up the pressure” for such a conference to be held “as soon as practicable.” The prime minister said essential agreement has been reached on every feature of a summit conference except the time, the place and East-West leaders who will attend. G.E. Plant's Safe Drivers Are Honored The Decatur General Electric plant truck drivers added 45,000 safe-miles to their driving record. I The record was established by four ■ local employes, Clyde Jones, Ray . Moser, Noble Drum, and Merle I Riley. One retired employe, Ed Kelly, also shared in this record. The total safe-miles at the local plant is 1,575,000 as announced this week by the G.E. News. The four drivers each received 1 national safety council safe driving ’ awards last week from plant man- ' ager George Auer. Each in tura was commended by Auer for his part in setting the record. The ■ four men will attend the annual truck fleet driver awards dinner in Fort Wayne later this month. Jones has completed 37 years of company service, while Moser has 33. Drum has 23 years with the firm, while Riley has 16.

Clerk Defends Use Os Government Car ROCKPORT, Ind. (UPl)—Ralph R. Roberts, clerk of the House of Representatives, insisted today that there was nothing wrong in his using a government - owned Cadillac to drive from Washington to his family home here. Roberts said he made the trip "partly on business," and told a reporter the House has provided its clerk with an automobile for 50 years without any strings attached. "I can use it any way I see fit,” he said. He said he was driven from Washington by James McAtee, a handyman assigned to his office whose home is in Indiana. Roberts said McAtee was "glad to come.” • Roberts said also that he was planning several trips from Rockport to buy furniture and other items for the House. The trip was first reported by Scripps-Howard staff writer Vance Trimble. v The law prohibits employes of the executive branch of government from using federal autos on anything but official business. But this does not apply to the legislative branch or to top executive officials.
