Soya Food Protein Plant Opened Today Ttie world’s newest commercial soya food protein plant was formally opened today in Chicago by the Central Soya company. Harold W. McMillen, Central Soya board chairman, dedicated the plant to “the world’s growing population, for whom protein provides the building blocks of good nutrition and health.” He called the efficient new production plant, which features the latest in sanitary practices, a “further development of the company's continuing research and pilot plant work on edible proteins.” Promine Additive The protein—called Promine—is isolated from the soybean and can be added to food products to build up their nutritional value and Improve general physical characteristics without changing taste, tex ; tore or appearance. Examples of present-day foods being improved by the addition of Promine include many baby foods, cereals, bakery products, confections, pressure dispensed whipped toppings, many types of prepared meats, and other high protein foods. New Foods Possible Promine—a complete protein—also makes possible the creation and manufacture of entirely new types of convenient prepared foods with controlled composition. ■ “On a per unit of protein basis, ' Promine is a very economical pro- ‘ tein product for use in foods,” Me- . Millen said. “It takes less Pro- ' mine to do the job because non- j protein materials have been re- , moved.” j He called attention to the world’s < "exploding population” and pre- , dieted that “proteins such as Pro- < mine which come from our re- < search laboratories may be the i answer to the crisis posed by the < population increase. In the U. S. atone,” he said, “population is ex- < pected to double in the next 40 years.” Important Overseas As a keystone in human nutri- ’ tion, Promine offers possibilities for economically upgrading diets in the United States. Its potential ’ use is substantial in other coun- ! tries, where the average man often does not get even the minimum ( requirement of 65-70 grams of protein per day.” Promine lends it- . self to overseas use,” he observed, i "because it not only can be added 1 to native foods without changing ; the taste, but is inexpensive to ship 1 and does not require refrigeration.” 1 McMillen called the soybean 1 “America’s miracle crop of the < Mth century” and said that Cen- 1 tral Soya researchers “will continue to probe its secrets in behalf of mankind.” Khrushchev Visit I 1 Film Is Released MOSCOW <UPD — A documentary film of Premier Nikita J Khrushchev’s visit to the United States was released to Moscow theaters today.

First Severe . Wintry Storm ; Hits Midwest * United Press International ’ The first severe wintry storm of . the season knifed across the Mid--1 west into New York today, dropping temperatures, slicking roads ‘ and leaving a two-inch snow blan- ‘ ket across the western Great ' Lakes. Upper Michigan reported nine ■ inches of snow by Monday night as the storm sent chill winds and whirling snow from Minnesota to ; New York and rain mixed >vith snow from lowa through the lower Great Lakes. Northern winds up to 40 m.ph also blew south from the Dakotas and Minnesota into the southern r Plains and tower Missouri Valley, dropping the mercury below freezing as far south as northern Missouri and Kansas. The U S Weather Bureau predicted even colder weather in the Missouri Valley tonight and rain mixed with snow as the storm cut across Wisconsin and the Great Lakes into Ohio and Pennsylvania. Earlier Monday, howling clouds of dust rode 62 m.ph gusts across parts of Kansas and Nebraska. < Light snows in Illinois and lowa arrived three weeks ahead of schedule and Chicagoans walked head - down through the first mushy snow fall of the season. Most snowflakes melted as soon as they hit Gale warnings were posted on Lake Superior and Lake Michigan and the weather bureau predicted more heavy snows near the Lake Superior shore. Safety groups warned of dangeous driving conditions through Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, where up to two inches of new snow were forecast. Light rain moved ahead of the cold air mass from central New York and Pennsylvania into the Appalachians and a few thunderstorms were reported along the western Gulf Coast from southern Louisiana to southern Texas. Temperatures were in the 30s from the northern and central Rockies across the central Plains into the upper Mississippi Valley. Cloudy skies and cooler weather moved over southern Nevada and southern California and sparked a few thunderstorms over the southern Plateau. Temperatures in the southwest dropped from the 80s during the day into the 50s after nightfall. • The U.S Weather Bureau pre- I dieted more rain for the north Atlanntic Coast outside the snow area, with showers from Virginia i to northern Florida. Air Force Sergeant Is Killed At Peru PERU, Ind. (UPD — Air Force Staff Sgt.

County Board Tours County Facilities The county commissioners conducted their regular weekly meeting Monday at the court house, handling several routine matters before spending the afternoon on an inspection tour of county facili- , ties. Mrs. Ed Tricker, who is the county census taker, will conduct classes in the offices of county auditor Ed Jaberg with approval of the commissioners. Mrs. Tricker was appointed recently to take the county farm census. She asked for the offices on Wednesday and Friday of this week at 2 p.m. and Nov. 10. 12, and 13 at 8 a. m. Mrs. Tricker will teach a representative from each township in the method to be used in gleaning information from each of their areas.’. She is usually employed at the Decatur license bureau branch. Ed Jaberg was authorized by the commissioners to contact the state fire marshal relative to a fire check of the court house. In the past, the state had referred .Taberg to the local fire chief to do the inspection, but the formal request must be made through the state. A boiler inspector from the Hartford Steam Inspection and Insurance Co. stated that the county jail boiler is passable and in need of no repair at this time. Herbert King, a salesman of Sanco Products Co. of Greenville, 0., met with the commissioners attempting to sell fire extinguishers. His estimatse were noted but no committment was made. He also provided the county with safety strips for the court house steps. The janitor, Orval Sudduth, assisted in applying the strips with King. Paralyzed Killer Is Executed Last Night WETHERSFIELD, Conn. (UPD —Paralytic cop-killer Frank Wojculewicz was strapped at an angle into a specially-fitted electric chair Monday night and electrocuted when 2,000 volts were shot through his immobilized body. It was believed to be the first execution of a helpless cripple in the United States Wojculewicz. of New Britain, was convicted of murder for the slaying of Police Sgt. Walter Grabeck during an exchange of gunfire following a robbery attempt. A bullet from Grabeck’s revolver struck Wojculewicz in the spine, crippling him from the waist down. Bystander Also Killed A bystander also was killed by one of Wojculewicz’ bullets. The execution ended Wojculewicz’ seven-year battle to escape the death penalty. Since his conviction in March* 1952, the 41year old father of two had seven reprieves. Three different dates for his execution were set during the long legal battle. Wojculewicz was lifted from his wheel chair and placed into the specially-fitted electric chair at 10:29 p.m e.s.t. Because of his paralyzed condition, Wojculewicz had to be fitted into the chair at an angle, his legs outstretched and resting on an oak stool. Remains Silent It took prison guards two minutes to strap the silent Wojculewicz into the chair. Without uttering a word, Wojculewicz took a long, hard look at the guards who had lifted him into the chair. Then he turned his cold gaze on the assembled witnesses — the warden and deputy warden, newsmen, a Roman Cath-| olic priest and the newly appoint-r ed medical officer, Dr- Rollin L. Vauchspies, who witnessed his! first execution. Five hours before the execution Wojculewicz was moved to the death cell. During the day he was visited by his mother, sister and brother-in-law. Neither his former wife, who divorced him about three years ago, nor his two children, a 15year old son and an 8-year old daughter, visited him during his last day. Stolen Automobile Reported Recovered Cny police, assisted by the sheriffs department, recovered the car stolen from John Doan Sunday, spotting the venicle at a restaurant on U. S. 27. Doan, of Sixth and Jefferson, reported the car missing Sunday morning when he left to attend church services. The investigating city police officer reported that he noticed the car parked at, the restaurant on the highway, and advised Doan to join him at the place. Upon inspection, sls in damages were noted, but the gas tank contained more gas than when Doan last drove it.. When he left the car parked at his residence on Saturday, Doan said it had a quarter tank of gas. When the vehicle, was recovered it had one-half tank full. All but one per cent of the harn- j ess horses, racing today can trace their ancestry to the great Hamble- ’ tonian.
