Kocher, Jr. It is no easy task to write of the passing of James Kocher. Not because of a lack of good things to say of Jim, but because he was a good friend, and his passing leaves an emptiness in Decatur that will be hard to fill. A little of that emptiness can be filled with memories. His was a life of quiet success. In business he built homes that people might live more comfortably. In his private life, he was ever on call to his church’s needs. He was a trustee at the First Presbyterian church, looking after the physical and financial affairs, and later, an elder, advising in the spiritual needs of the congregation. His family life was one of happiness with his wife, children and home. We extend our sympathy to his wife, children, mother and sisters. His presence will be missed in Decatur, but his heritage of quiet success will remain to remind us of a good friend. • • • • National Newspaper Week October 15-21 has been designated as National Newspaper Week in the United States. The slogan of this week is “Your Newspaper . . . Freedom’s Textbook.” That slogan pretty well sums up the role in American life of the newspapers. All the phases of our daily life are recorded, passed on and filed by the American newspapers. Many improvements in government, social areas, labor and even sports have been brought about by the criticism or support of the newspapers. In the same way, newspapers .have been improved by the criticism or support of the American people. A newspaper is far from perfect. They make mistakes, misprints and mis-deliveries. And they hear about every one. This is part of the business. This is how newspapers are improved. Radio and television can get the news to the homes faster in some instances than a newspaper. But the newspaper is still the source of the detailed story of a news event. It is still the source of “homey” features, of society news, of births and deaths, and of editorial opinion. Freedom of the press does not mean complete freedom to print whatever one might feel like saying. It means an obligation to the American people to print what is true, and then to comment as to how those facts will affect the readers. As long as this obligation is met, the American press will continue to be Freedom’s Textbook, and it is through the criticism of the people that newspapers are made to meet the obligation.

Denies Conspiracy On Vaccine Prices TRENTON, N.J. (UPD—The manufacturers of Salk polio vaccine quoted similar prices for the drug two and three years ago because it made good business sense not to undercut other firms in a boomng market, testmony showed Wednesday. However, the makers did not consciously conspire to fix the price of the vaccine, according to the witness, an attorney for one of the five big drug manufacturers accused by the federal government of violating anti-trust laws “In theface of an overwhelming demand, why give a quantity discount?" asked Roy McDonald, representing Wyeth Laboratories, a division of American Home Products Co.. New York, in tpe second day of the trial. McDonald was supported by former New York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, representing Eli Lilly & Co., Indianapolis. Dewey said his frm conceded there was uniformity of price. But he denied that the firms consciously conspired to set the same price in dealings with federal, state and municipal governments. A third defense attorney, William Piel, representing PitmanMoore Division of Allied Laboratories, Kansas City, Mo., said his company learned early in 1955 what price Lilly was going to set for the vaccine when a PitmanMoore salesman dscovered an advistory price bulletin mailed by Lilly to its distributors. Pitman-Moore, also of Indianapolis, adopted the same price. Piel said company thinking was "if the price structure works for the other guy, it wll work for me." Opening statements by the other two defendants. Sharp & Dohme Division of Merck & Co., Rahway, N.J., and Parke Davis & Co., Detroit, were scheduled for today. The prosecution was to follow with testimony establishing that there was a uniformity of price among the five firms, the only manufacturers of the vaccine from its discovery up to the end of 1957The case is before Federal District Judge Phillip Forman. Conviction would subject the firms to a maximum SIOO,OOO fine each. In addition they would be subject to costly civl damage suits filed by buyers of the vaccine. School Janitor Is Cleared Os Murder CHELSEA, Vt. (UPD—A school janitor was cleared of a murder charge today in the “vigilante" slaying of a cantankerous farmer. Superior Judge Natt L. Divoll Jr. and two assistant judges granted a defense motion for acquittal. The decision in effect cleared Robert O. Welch. 46, Newbury, in the slaying of Newbury dairy farmer Orville A Gibson. The judges’ decision came shortly after the defense rested its case without calling a witness. Defense counsel Black had askd tor a directed verdict of innocent. Atty. Gen. Frederick Reed, who si directing the prosecution, wound up his case Wednesday with testimony from Dr. John H. Perry-Hooker, 36. The physician said he drove past the Gibson farm early on Dec. 31, 1957, the morning the prosperous farmer disappeared. He said he saw a parked car with three or four occupants. Perry-Hooker said he recognized two of the persons as Welch and Frank W. Carpenter, who also is charged with murder and will be tried at a later date. Gibson dsappeared shortly after he left his house for the barn to start his daily work. His bound body was found in the nearby Connecticut river three months later. Outdoorsman SIOUX FALLS,' S. D. (UPD— a state prison inmate applying for parole to the South Dakota Board of Charities and Corrections said his hobby was oil painting and his specialty outdoor scenes.

Farm Bureau Head Hits Crop Control MARSHALLTOWN, lowa (UPD —Congress must wipe out crop price controls so farmers can “produce for consumers rather than for government waehouses,” the American Farm Bureau president said Wednesday night. Charles B. Shuman blamed “government meddling” for the expensive and wasteful use of American farm resources and the failure of the administration’s ’farm program. This failure has led to poor public opinion of the farmer, Shuman said. “The farmers' problem today is not bad public relations, but a bad farm program,” he told the Marshall County Farm Bureau’s annual meeting. Shuman said the public opinion can be reversed only by elimination of price fixing and controls, which also would clear the way for increased farm income. An intensive advertising campaign to tell the farmer’s story "would be a waste of money until we succeed in convincing the members of Congress that farmers will be better off financially when we make the necessary adjustments and produce for consumers rather than for government warehouses,” Shuman said. The farm bureau president said inflation ranks with the farm program as a major worry to farmes. “With agiculture today plagued by surpluses and still having the ability to produce more comodities, it is clear that inflation intensifies the cost squeeze on farmers by causing farm costs to rise more rapidly than prices,” he said. He called for a curb on the price fixing powers held by big business and labor, a cut in federal spending to match government income and greater citizen interest and participation in local government. o— — — o 20 Years Ago Today 0 0 Oct. 15, 1939 was Sunday and no paper was published. 9to 11 P.M.
