Central Soya Co. Marks 25th Year

The opening of a new Promine (soya food protein) plant in Chicago Tuesday marks the latest milepost in the 25-year story of progress that has been recorded by the Central Soya company, since it was founded October 2, 1934—in the heart of the depression —by Dale W. McMillen at the age of 54. In 1934, the soybean industry was barely beginning and total production of soybeans had reached only 23.2 million bushels. Now, more than 500 million bushels of soybeans are produced yearly, returning over a billion dollars to soybean growers. First Plant Here At Central Soya's original plant in Decatur, equipment consisted of only six expellers for producing meal and oil from soybeans and a

single bulk storage building with a capacity of 430,000 bushels. December 8, 1934, the first shipment of soybean oil was made from the small plant in which the company began operations. Janizary 23, 1935, McMillen Feed Mills, which had been incorporated as the feed. division of Central Soya, received its first order for feed--46,350 pounds of mixed feed... “Master Mixing Feed—3o percent molasses.” In the past 25 years, Central Soya has continued the growth that was begun in the company’s first year, when it grew from a beginning force of nine until by the end o fthe first year of operation, 67 employes were on the payroll and the $125,000 of capital invested in equipment and other facilities had resulted in the production and

sales of $1,247,000 worth of Central Soya and Master Mix (feed) production. 2,850 On Payroll Today, the company has approximately 2,850 people on its payroll and its 1959 sales totaled $285 million. Twenty-five years after construction started on the company’s first manufacturing plant, Central Soya operates soybean processing plants in six different locations, has seven manufacturing locations and operates a grain merchandising business using approximately 43 million bushels of storage. At Decatur alone, where there was a single bulk storage building with only 430,000 bushels capacity in 1934, there are now 134 silos that can hold 13.5 million bushels of soybeans and grain. Central Soya is in the transportation business, operating 100 tractors and trucks and 153 trailers, 60 bulk rail hopper cars, and over 100 barges on the inland waterway system. In 31 States Master Mix livestock and poultry

feeds are being distributed in 31 states witfi, a sales force of 185 men. This compares with a force of only seven men who served the states of Indiana, Ohio and Michigan during the company’s first I year. * The company also maintains an extensive feed research program, which is being expanded as the feeding of livestock and poultry continues to become more scientific. In 1958, Central Soya acquired the chemurgy division with facilities at Chicago, Lockport, and Seneca, 111., and Indianapolis. The people and facilities connected with chemurgy research, development. production and marketing are considered a significant addition by the Central Soya management. The company is confident that through research and development, many new and useful soybean products will be brought on the market. Promine—a commercial soya food protein—which is being manufactured in a new plant dedicated at the chemurgy division’s Chica-

go location October 27, is only the latest illustration of the commercial utilization of the results of chemurgic research and development. I Scrap Os Giants In Democratic Party By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) Indiana’s city elections Tuesday, regardless of results, probably will be followed by a battle of the giants in the Hoosier Democratic party. The giants—national chairman Paul M. Butler of South Bend and Frank E. McKinney of Indianapolis, former national chairman—appear to be squaring away for another battle in their longtime warfare. At stake are both presidential I and gubernatorial nominations next yearAll indications are that Butler

favors Sen. John Kennedy of Massachusetts for president. A straw in the wind is the fact that State Sen. Marshall Kizer of Plymouth, a close lieutenant of Butler, is manager of Kennedy’s Hoosier campaign which is nearly sure to lead Kennedy to entrance into Indiana’s presidential preference primary. Reports also are circulating that Butler will back Secretary of State John Walsh of Anderson for governor, although State Auditor Albert Steinwedel of Seymour, another hopeful for governor, has tried for help from the national chairman. McKinney Has Slate McKinney, with support from his old ally, Frank M. McHale, former national committeeman, is directing the Indiana presidential movement for Sen. W. Stuart Symington of Missouri. It has been said that there is significance in the fact that McKinney is one of (the foremost aides of former I President Truman, likewise a Missourian. The two unsuccessfully championed former New York Gov. Averell Harriman for

’ president in 1956. McKinney’s longtime gubernatorial candidate is Sen. Matthew ’ E. Welsh of Vincennes, the cur- ' rent leader among Democrats in the struggle for Statehouse boss. Welsh, who was his party’s Senate floor leader, has been campaigning for at least four years. Welsh has been classified loosely as a conservative and Walsh as a liberal, although, the Vincennes senator openly bid for organized labor support by demanding repeal of the “right to work” ; law during a Labor Day speech. A number of his backers have expressed regret that he did soother presidential hopefuls, including' Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, Gov. Robert Meynei of New Jersey, and Gov. G Mennen Williams of Michigan are not doing well in this state. Hartke Likes Johnson However, Sen. Vance Hartke of Evansville likes Sen. Lyndon Johnson of Texas, and there is substantial undercover potency in Indiana for Adlai Stevenson. Ralph Tucker hopes to get his campaign for governor off the

ground if and when he is reelected mayor of Ter;re Haute Kizer probably is out of the picture because he is Kennedy’s manager. Rodger D. Branigan of Lafayette remains the reluctant dragon. A number of oldtime Democrats have expressed the hope that the battle of the giants will not tear up the party. UNICEF Project Growing Annually By HORTENSE MYERS United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The ranks of Halloween celebrants who get their treats and help other children eat at the same time is expected to be the largest ever this year in Indiana. Miss Sara Jo Schilling, West Lafayette, president of the Indiana Council ot United Church Women, which is the principal state sponsor of the UNICEF Halloween project, said she was unable to estimate the number of groups and organizations taking part. But she said she belives some church groups in every county will be out this Halloeen with their black and orange tags and bags identifying them as volunterer collectors of contributions for the United Nations Children’s Fund. She explained that kits for the humanitarian twist on the old trick-pr-trcat formula are available to any responsible group and the contacts sometimes . are made directly with the tINTCEF headquarters so that bo one person in the state knows the full extent of the work doneDr. Grover L. Hartman, executive secretary of the Indiana Council of Churches, said the accumulation of coins by the Hoosier Halloweeners during the four years they have joined in the alternate to vandalism might run between $25,000 and $30,000. He said he based his guess on the operation of UNICEF trick-or-treaters in South Bend. Miss Schilling and Hartman both noted that the UNICEF treaters generally get a liberal share of candy and refreshments for themselves in addition to the gifts for food and medicine to be distributed to needy children of India, Korea and other foreign countries. The general pattern is for the sponsoring organization to hold a party for the masked children after they return from their rounds of neighborhood calls. At the same time, sponsoring adults count the cash and send it to UNICEF. Miss Schilling, who gave up her family gardening and greenhouse business in West Lafayette five years ago, now works almost fulltime as a volunteer. She formerly had been on the staff of the United Church of Christ (also known as the Evangelical and Reformed Church) in Cleveland, but for the next three years will concentrate her attention on Indiana as president of the United Church Women. Hats Collected By Singer As A Hobby By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK < UPl'—Jane Morgan is heady about her hobby. The singer, billed as “The Fascination Girl” of show business, is fascinated with hats, to the extent that she has collected nearly 400 from all parts of the world and insured the lot with Lloyd s of London for SIOO,OOO. Her closets are crammed with cowboy hats, baseball hats, sombreros, hats with historical significance. and hats which ate typical of countries she has toured as a vocalist. The tiny, blond Miss Morgan explained that her hobby grew from her interest in clothes, hats included. She confessed to paying as much as $250 to a milliner like John-Frederics for a hat she will wear in her act. The singer s wardrobe investment runs into five figures and includes labels of Balmain, Dior and other French designers. Her first hat for collection, not for wear, was a copy she had made of a plumed and jeweled job which Marie Antoinette was supposed to have worn as she was taken to the guillotine. She saw it in a museum in Paris, where she first made a name as a singer. She has acquired since then a London bobby’s hat, a postman’s hat from Manchester, England, one from the Scots Guards, a bearskin hat worn by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, a beaded pillboxlike hat worn in the 17th Century in Turkey, and a Perian lamb fur hat which once belonged to a lieutenant in the Russian Czarist army. She would like to get one of those towering bearskins which men of the Buckingham Palace guard wear. She owns a cap that ’ once belonged to Peewee Reese of the Dodgers, a plumed chapeau worn by Mme. Du Barry, a gondolier’s hat from Venice, a shepherd’s tarn from the Basque region of Spain and France, and a slouch presented to her by a Porguguese fisherman. "I don’t particularly care whether the hat belonged to a man or a woman.” she said, “just so it reflects the city or country I visited.”
