Grand Champ Steer To Be Named Today CHICAGO <U'F‘I > — The nation’s beef-growing industry crowns its grand champion steer today at the Bist annual International Live Stock Exposition. A blonde, 15-y ear-old lowan, Kaye Pollock of Mount Adburn, was an early exhibitor favorite for the grand championship with her 1,050 pound junior yearling Hereford, all-breed champion in junior competition Friday. Another lowa, Huck Wood Jr., 19, Spencer, was back for another shot at the coveted title. In 1958 Wood, his foot in a plaster cast from a wrestling injury, led an Aberdeen-Angus to junior show honors and the Interna ti onal grand championship. Choice of the grand champion steer is the annual high spot of

the exposition and its massive display of more than cattle, sheep, swine and horses. Highest Single Honor The winner’s blue ribbon, trophy and prestige at the world’s oldest and largest stock show are traditionally the highest single honor a beef grower can receive. The grand championship also means the winner will be No. 1 attraction at auction later this week, where each pound of the animal can be worth as much as 100 pounds of prime steer in ordinary sales. Stockmen regard the choice as an important breed promotional victory as well. Before today’s judging, the chunky, sable - hued Aberdeen-Angus had been named grand champion ffrt two consecutive years. Wood's 1958 double winner .brought more than $20,000 at auction attended by representatives of restaurant chains and meatpackers. The International Amphitheater crowd for the grand championship was expected to push total attendance for the first four days of the nine-day exposition well above 100,000. Three Other Prises Judging today also worked toward championships this week in Hereford and Aberdeen - Angus breeding cattle, sheep and swine. William E. Ogilvie, exposition manager, said Sunday the amphitheatre bad been sold out for evening rodeo and horse show performances for the first time since World War 11. In dressed lamb carcass quality meat judging Sunday, Don Culbertson of Joy. 111., took the grand championship with a lamb weighing 95 pounds on the hoof and 53 pounds dressed. Reserve championship went to a 90-pound Southdown shown by Linda Raphje, 17, of Wheaton, 111. Miss Raphje's entry weighed 47 pounds as a dressed carcass. The quality meat contest, directed by Dr. Robert Bray of the University of Wisconsin, is an education project to seek a high percentage of lean meat in proportion to fat.

S. Hugh Dillin Favorite For Floor Leader INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — State Sen. S Hugh Dillin of Petersburg seemed certain to be chosen Democratic floor leader of the Indiana Senate at a caucus of Democratic majority senators tonight. Dillin is regarded as one of the sharpest floor debaters in legislative history. His x constant services will be needed by the Democrats because they have a bare 26-24 control over the Republicans. Indications also were that State Sen. Eugene Bainbridge of Munster will be rc-elected Democratic caucus chairman. The caucus likewise probably will adopt a motion to divest Republican Lt. Gov.-elect Richard O Ristine of the power to name the Senate committee members, a most potent prerogative. This power would be conferred on Dillin. who would become Senate president pro tern, unless something interferes W'th the greased whppls Welsh's Old Post Dillin would succeed Gov.-elect Matthew E. Welsh as his party’s floor leader. However, Welsh was the minority floor leader in the 1939 Legislature. The Republican minority floor leader of the upper house is Sen. C. Wendell Martin of Indianapolis. and Sen. Kenneth J. Brown of Muncie is caucus chairman. Dillin probably will be one of the few men who ever have led the Democratic party on both Senate and House floor. He served as House leader of his party in the 1951 session. Both Republican and Democratic, state representatives also are scheduled to choose leaders' today. Republicans will control die House 66-34.

SPEAKING OF ODD ELECTIONS—Closeness of the 1960 presidential election has sent historians to the record books for comparisons. The peculiarity of the Electoral College system makes it possible for a candidate to, receive less than a majority of the popular vote and still win. In 1860, Republican Abraham Lincoln received only 39 per cent of the total number of ballots (not a single one was cast for him in 10 southern states), yet had 28 more electoral votes than he needed for a majority (out of 303 total). Even stranger was that the runner-up in popular votes, Democrat Stephen Douglas, garnered only 12 electoral votes. Others were John C. Breckinridge, representing southern Democrats, and Constitutional Union Party candidate John Bell

Rep. James Allen of Salem appears to have the lead over Rep. Richard W. Guthrie of Indianapolis for House speaker because Martin, another Indianapolis man. was chosen Senate Floor head for the Republicans. “Too much Indianapolis” is a slogan that probably will defeat Guthrie. However. Guthrie may win the post of GOP floor leader. Bayh, Folta Slated Birch Bayh Jr. of West Terre Haute, who was speaker in the 1959 session, probably will be chosen Democratic floor leader and Rep. Donald E. Foltz of Clinton, who was floor leader in 1959, may become caucus chairman. The gatherings today will precede a three-day training period for all legislators which will start Tuesday. The 100 representatives and 50 senators will begin their 61-day session on Jan. 5. Dillin's leadership probably will be tested by two maverick senators—Nelson Grills, Indianapolis Democrat whose “grillibuster” to further legislative reapportionment was famous in 1959, and Roy Conrad, Monticello Republican, who crosses party lines with the greatest of ease in his. legislative rhaneuvers.

Mrs. Kennedy To Curtail Activity WASHINGTON (UPD _ Mrs. John F. Kennedy will have to curtail her social activities as first lady for six months, her obstetrician said today. Dr. John W. Walsh told United Press International in an interview that the attractive wife of the President-elect is making a ‘good recovery” from the Caesarean delivery of her socond child. But he said he wanted her to have “a rest . . a real rest.” Walsh said the demands of the White House would be great on Mrs. Kennedy, who is fragile. “She isn’t like any other woman recovering from an operation,” he said. He made it clear that Jacqueline would have to build up her strength to be able to keep up with the rigorous social schedule of teas, luncheons and receptions ahead of her as first lady. That is why Walsh plans to keep his star patient in Georgetown University hospital for two full weeks. He delivered John F. Kennedy Jr. last Friday. “We’ll want her to curtail her

Kennedy Infant's Congestion Better WASHINGTON (UPD —The four-day old son of Presldent-elcet Kennedy was reported today “improving rapidly" from a slight chest congestion but he will remain in an incubator pcssibly another 48 hours. Dr. Edward B. Broocks said the congestion was a “normal aftereffect of Caesarean birth.” He said the child had no upper respiratory ailment or phenmonia. “He’s a perfectly normal baby,” the doctor said. Immediately after the boy was bom early Friday, doctors said he would remain in an incubator 24 to 48 hours ns is customary with Caesarean and premature babies. He now has been in the incubator more than 72 hours. The baby, to be named John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr., began taking formula for the first time Sunday. Broocks said the child was keeping down the mixture of powdered milk and water. The President - elect visited his wife at Georgetown University hospital twice Sunday. Mrs. Kennedy. who now is spending brief periods out of bed several times a day, also was visited by her mother, Mrs. Hugh Auchincloss, the President-elect’s brother, Robert, and Robert’s wife Ethel. Two Cars Involved In Accident Here Two cars were involved in an accident Saturday at 4:42 p.m., with only one of the vehicles suffering damage. A car operated by Miriam Evelyn Gay, 44, Homesteed 44, was southbound on First street.

The Sites vehicle sustained approximately SIOO damages while the Gay car was not damaged. activity for six months,” said Walsh. Mrs. Kennedy is expected to recuperate next month at the West Palm Beach, Fla. home of her multi - millionaire father-in-law, Joseph P. Kennedy. The Presi-dent-elect also plans to be there for the Christmas liolidays.

Doctors Opposed To Medical Care Plan

WASHINGTON (UPD — Dr. E. Vincent Askey, president of the American Medical Association <AMA), said today President-elect Kennedy’s “narrow” election victory denied him a mandate to make massive changes in medical care programs. i Asity urged the nation’s doctors to pitch in and back the recently approved federal-state program of medical care to the aged, strongly supported by the AMA. He said this was the best strategy for combating an expected drive by the Kennedy administration to junk the present plan in favor of medical care 'for the elderly under the Social Security program. In Fighting Mood Esky made the remarks in a speech prepared for the second session of the AMA’s 14th clinical meeting, which opened Sunday in a fighting mood. His speech sounded the same battle-cry as previous speakers—the AMA should not permit Kennedy's election to slow down its vigorous fight against the Social Security medical proposal. “While our profession clearly may face a hard struggle in the 87th Congress on the issue of medical care tor the aged under Social Security, there is no ground for defeatism,” he said. “The (President-elect’s margin of victory is so narrow that it would be difficult for even the most zealous adherent to consider this a mandate for a massive program of social change.” About 10,000 persons, including 4,500 physicians, were on hand for the five-day conference on professional problems and new medical techniques. Dr. Ernest B. Howard, AMA assistant executive vice president, said Sunday that Kennedy’s election should not drive the association toward compromising its past opposition to the Social Security approach to medical care tor the elderly. "The surest way to total defeat js to say, ‘we are now going to

sit across the negotiating table and see what you will give us,’ ” he said. “They are going to fight with everything and I tell you gentlemen, we have to fight with every resource—right down the line.” Favor Different Program Howard spoke during a seminar on implementing the federal-state program for providing medical benefits to the elderly, approved at the pre-election session of Congress. The AMA favors this program, which was enacted after the Senate defeated Kennedy’s proposal to provide medical benefits for the aged through the Social Security program, financed by higher Social Security taxes. Kennedy criticized the federalstate program during the presidential campaign and announced his intention to continue the fight for the Social Security approach.
