Wilhs, advised he was out of order, merely remarked that his firm had got its fees for tak ing part in 190 days of FPC hearings. House influence investigators also dug deeper into an “improper” contact made with Kuykenda 11 by utility lawyer Thomas G. i Corcoran, one-time New Deal "brain truster."

Tenderizing Beef Still On The Hoof CHICAGO (UPD—A major meat ' packing firm says it has found a 'way to start the process of ten- ■ derizing beef while it's still on the I hoof. The process, patented by Swift i and Co- under the trade name 1 Pro Ten. uses natural food enzymes to tenderize any beef cut at cooking time instead of through traditional aging. Paul Goeser of Swift’s research laboratory explained the govern-ment-approved process at a news conference Tuesday. . Goeser said enzymes, derived from papaya, pineapple and figs, which have the same effect as enzymes found naturally in beef, are introduced into the animals 1 circulatory system immediately before .slaughter. The enzymes take effect when the beef is cooked. The end result. Goeser said, is that nature circulates the tenderizing agent through the entire animal,' and normal cooking heat and conditions finish the process which would normally take place during aging. Oscar C. House of Swift’s beef division said Pro Ten-treated meat from the firm’s Ocala, Fla., and St. Joseph, M0.,-plants is being marketed on an experimental basis in Florida, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois. “These studies will be continued and expanded as additional facilities become available,” Hou s e said. “It will be some time, therefore, before Pro Ten beef will be available nationally. ’ House said an average 5 per cent added cost from Swift to the retailer is offset by greater yield of meat since the 3 to 5 per cent loss from discoloration during aging is eliminated As a result, House said, we have noticed a tendency among retail grocers to sell Pro Ten beef at conventional prices.” Elderly Pedestrian Is Killed By Auto EVANSVILLE. Ind. —'UPD William O. Hollbrock, 79. Evansville, was struck and killed by a hit-run v chicle Tuesday night as he walked across a city street.

Kennedy ran away from write-in oppoMUcm in Nebra»ka’a Democratic pre*idcntiai primary election today but wa* running only aligbtly ahead of GOP Vice Preaideot Richard M Nixon, who wa»n’t on the ballot but polled a heavy write-in vote. With 1.685 of the state'* 2.107 precinct* reporting, the D»%iocratic Massachusetts senator had 60.534 vote*. Nixon* write-in vote totaled 52.303. . The race amounted to no more than a popularity contest between Kennedy, a front-runner for the Democratic presidential' nomination. and Nixon, unopposed for the Republican nomination, since Nebraska delegates elected were not committed to any candidate Kennedy beat down write-in opposition from other Democrats in the Nebraska primary. Sens. Stuart Symington. Lyndon B. Johnson and Hubert H. Humphrey and twotime presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson polled only token votes. Symington had 2.824. Humphrey 1.976, Johnson 566 and Stevenson 769 On the Republican side. New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller and Interior Secretary Fred Seaton were far behind Nixon with 1.668 and M 0 write-in votes respectively. The chief race among the Republicans was a six-way battle for the gubernatorial nomination. Maverick Terry Carpenter, regarded as the favorite during the campaign, was trailing tyo party regulars. ‘ . Carpenter was the man who turned the 1956 Republican convention into an uproar by nominating a fictitious “Joe Smith” for vice president. Robert B. Conrad, assistant to Gov. Ralph G. Brooks, engaged in a see-saw race with Frank B. Morrison for the Democratic nomination for governor. Brooks was leading Clair Callan by a slim margin in the race for Senate nominee. The winner will face incumbent Sen. Carl T. Curtis, who was unopposed on the Republican ticket. Ray Miller To Head Monroe Lions Club Ray Miller was elected president of the Monroe Lions club at the meeting held Tuesday night. Miller, Farm Bureau insurance agent, was picked to replace Mel Liechty as president of the club.

Ind. (UPD - Three passengers of a Northwest Orient airliner that crashed with 63 persons aboard were called to testify today at an inquiry to determine why the plane broke up in apparently clear weafaer and went into an 18,000 foot death dive. The passengers all boarded the Lockheed Electra turbo - prop at Minneapolis the afternoon of March 17 and got off at Chicago. About an hour after the plane left Chicago for Miami it disintegrated in the air and crashed in a soybean field. No one survived. Members of the Civil Aeronautics ' Board conducting the hea ring were expected to ask Mrs. S. Kaplan. Minneapolis; A.G. Jansen. Edina, Minn, and Mrs. H. Baller, Minneapolis, if they noticed anything unusual about the flight from Minneapolis to Chicago- " A.E. Neumann, a CAB investigator, said he did not expect to find the cause of the accident from the witnesses but "we are learning just exactly what we want to." Neumann said information given at the hearing would provide a stepping stone "for a further inquiry this summer of the structure and power plants of the Electra. Witnesses who testified Tuesday told of severe air turbulence the day the plane crashed.
