Launch Talks Over Transfer Os Power

wiAam.iiT'HjrivHN luru —1 ne outoing and .incoming administra- i tions begin talks at the White 1 House today to plan for the transfer of powers to Sen. John F. Kennedy when he becomes president on Jan. 2n. Maj. Gen. Wilton B. Persons, President Eisenhower’s chief assistant, arranged to meet with Clark Clifford, Kennedy’s liaison man with the White House. Persons and Clifford were expected to discuss general arrangements and to set up other meetings between Eisenhower administration and Kennedy aides to consider specific problems in various fields. & 'h matters as foreign policy, defense, and farm policy undoubtedly will be taken up in more detail at the subsequent meetings between experts on those subjects. It was learned that Kennedy’s; advisory committee on Defense Department reorganization is con-! sidering a proposal to eliminate! the secretaries of Army, Navy I and Air Force, and give stronger j power to the defense secretary. The group, headed by Sen. Stuart Symington, D-Mo., also is weighing a plant to put greater authority in the chairman of the' Joint Chiefs of Staff. Symington will confer with Kennedy next Saturday in Florida on the defense proposals. Under the defense plan, the secretaries of Army, Navy and Air Force would become undersecretaries of defense to encourage unification. There is no thought, however, of merging the three services into a single force wearlADAMS i THEATER - Last Time Tonight - First Feature at 6:55 p. m.

1 ing the same uniform. ; In the agricultural field, the Kennedy administration’s first action may include steps to cut surplus grain production and sharply expand donations of surplus food to the needy. Democratic farm sources said top priority probably would be given to drafting a new wheat bill for consideration early in the new Congress. Kennedy’s advisers have been working on a plan, for controlled marketrg •of- Wheat in price-protected domestic markets. The next secretary of agriculture is considered almost certain to announce establishment of a food stamp plan for moving more surplus foods into the homes of unemployed and other low-income families. Kennedy Clings To Popular Vote bead WASHINGTON <UPI) — Sen. 1 John F. Kennedy clung to a lead of 389,346 votes over Vice Presi- | dent Richard M. Nixon today as the count in last Tuesday’s presidential election inched slowly to;ward completion. With a record high 67,718,263 votes already counted, Kennedy’s numerical margin in .popular votes | was the smallest in any presidential election since 1892. His ’ percentage margin—50 29 to 49.71 ' —was the smallest since the elecj tion of 1884. .; At midmorning a tabulation by United Press International gave: Kennedy—33,855,338 Nix0n—33,465,992 0ther5—396.933 | The count was unofficial and 1 still incomplete. With close to 230.000 absentee ballots still to be counted in Calitornia alone, the total vote for president seemed certain to exceed 68.000.000. A complete but unofficial count of the balloting in Hawaii gave Vice President Richard M. Nixon that state by a 96-vote margin. Democrats, however, may seek -a recount. Nixon was leading in states which would give him 191 i votes. Kennedy had a potential 338 | electoral votes as the tally of ab- ‘ sentee ballots progressed in Calij fornia. ; The latest figures from Nixon’s' .jhame state Sowed die vice presit dent- had 3.093,169 votes, -still 32,385 behind Kennedy’s 31,125,554

L. R.

We were surprised to learn that for years we. had been m i sundersitanding the terms “Cio mpouhd fracture,” and

“Simple frac- L * ture.” Zmtsmaster We had always believed that one meant a bone broken in one place, and the other a bone broken in several places, but such is not the case. We just learned that a simple fracture is one where the bone may be broken in one or several places, but has not broken through the flesh to allow comi munieation between iniury and ; external air, which could result in infection. The compound fracture is one where the bone is , broken in one or more places and in addition the surrounding 1 flesh has been lacerated in a ■ manner that might allow infec- : tion from external causes. And now we hear there is a ‘ new technique which enables a doctor to mend a broken bone 1 with a “plastic glue” (for lack of a better description! so that • the cast becomes unnecessary - and the victim can use the arm - or leg again wdthin 48 hours! » So thev are now going to mend broken bones almost as fast as . we mend fractured cars. It really ‘akes a professional “body” man to restore present day cars after | a smash-uD to make them look | and be as good as they were bes fore anything happened to them. | Thank goodness we’re able,, to do hist that for you. And we do it economically too. Zinlsmasler Motors Phone 3-2003 First & Monroe Sts. Decatur, Ind.
