Carpenters Agree To Take Wage Cut EVANSVILLE, Ind. <UPI)-Car-penters who said they would rather work for less money than not work at all today provided new hope for this area’s ailing construction industry. The members of Local 90 of the Carpenters Union AFL-CIO agreed to take an hourly wage cut from $3 60 an hour to $3 in an effort to stimulate residential construction in Vanderburgh and Posey Counties. Albert J. Sweet of the Associated Building Contractors of Evansville said Thursday night a dinner meeting has been set for April 18 at which the organization plans to ask workers in other allied trades if they would be willing to take similar cuts. Sweet met with representatives of the building trade Thursday to plan the dinner and called the agreement with the carpenters “one of the finest things that has zver happened as far as construction is concerned in the United States.” "When a journeyman carpenter will take a 60 cent an hour cut, that’s something,” he said. Sweet said the prospects of getting union and non-union workers in other trades to make similar sacrifices was "very good at the moment.” He said about 100 to 150 contractors would attend the dinner along with both union and non-union employes. ITie two-county area—Evansville in particular—has suffered an economic slowdown since 1957 principally because of unemployment due to the loss of industry. Curtis Mills, president of Local 90, said about one-third of the members have not had full-time employment for the past few years due to the slowdown in home construction. Sweet said the offer of the carpenters was greeted with enthusiasm and “a lot of acceptance among employers and employes alike.” Under terms of the new contract agreed to by the carpenters, the hourly rate for commercial and industrial work moves up from $3.60 to $3.80 plus fringe benefits. But for home building, the hourly rate drops from $3.60 to $3 plus 12-cent fringe benefits. 1 Girl Scouts Troop 576 - i Our troop 576 met Tuesday afternoon at the Southeast school.

These children are sipping "atole”, a hot drink that is common fare to most rural communities throughout Central America. The typical atole is mainly a mixture of corn, a staple of the area, and boiling water. It is easy to prepare, and what’s more, the people drink it daily, and with gusto. Unfortunately, with Corn as its chief ingredient, it is a drink with little nutritive value. Not so however, i s t h e atole the children in this photo are gulping, and, to the evident joy of their mother and a nutritionist, liking so well. The children's glassfuls have been enriched with nourishing protein, a food element needed badly for their
Pressure On Cuba Already In Effect
WASHINGTON (UPD—A Senate Democratic leader said today the administration already had applied most of the economic pressures urged by Sen. Kenneth B. Keating, R-N.Y., to rid Cuba of Soviet domination. Democratic whip Hubert H. Humphrey, Minn-, said the other parts of the 14-point program outlined by Keating in a Senate speech Thursday have been under discussion with NATO and Latin American allies “for months.” Speaks for Administration Humphrey, clearly speaking for the administration, said in an ini terview: "We do not own our allies nor are we and boss. We have to negotiate and work with them. The economic links between Cuba and the free world are now so limited that severing those that remain will not have a significant effect on the Cuban economy or the survivability of the Castro regime.” Keating explained that the recommendations were those he made to President Kennedy and Central Intelligence Director John A. McCone on Feb. 8. They were not made public then lest the disclosure hamper removal of Soviet forces from Cuba, he said. Keating, frowning on military action, said the economic resources of the United States, NATO and the free world “could be mobilized with devastating effect” against Russia and its Cuban operations. He urged that NATO nations deny both their ships and cargoes to Cuban trade, cut off Soviet bloc sales of material like that going to Cuba and, where possible, apply a “complete free world boycott on trade with the Soviet bloc.” Lists U.S. Moves Humphrey said persuasion and cooperation usually were “more effective" in dealing with allies on the Cuban problem than trying harsh action. He said the following moves were among those already taken to isolate Cuba economically: —Suspension of sugar purchases (July 1960). ' —Prohibition on U.S. exports to Cuba, except food and medicines (October 1960). —Suspension of U.S. diplomatic ADAMS THEATER

Used instead of the coin. Incaparina puts into the children’s glasses as much protein and vitamin A content as there would be in glasses of fresh milk.

reflected in a two-and-a-quar-ter ounce package, containing all the proteins a child needs daily, that sells without profit, at four cents each. Incaparina i; made mainly from the staples of the Central American soil — com, sorghum, cotton-seed flour make up 96 per cent of the formula. But from the staples of other lands — rice, for instance — so also can like products be developed. There is little doubt therefore, that what has been done in General America can be repeated with equal success in other parts of the world where people need more nutritive elements in their diets. Nutritionists are certain that Incaparina-like products, which are at once high in protein and low in cost, will eventually still the gnawing hungers suffered by half the earth's population today. It is in recognition of the plight of these 1.5 billion hungry hat rhe World Health Organizer ion has selected "Hunger: Disease of Millions’* as the theme for observance April 7 of World Health Day, the 15th anniversary of its founding. In his message on the anniversary. WHO’s Director-Gen-eral, Mr. M. G. Candau of Brazil, says- ’lt is my hope on this World Health Day that people everywhere in the world will try to visualize this problem of hunger and the disease and death that go with it. “Remedies are largely known — they call for simultaneous action on the agricultural, medical, and education fronts. And this action, to be successful, must have the participation of governments and of peoples in all countries, rich and poor.”
MINORITY (Continued from Page One) optimistic that the adjusted gross income plan would pass the special session within hours. Favor 3 Per Cent Rate Another Senate GOP leader who did not want to be quoted by name said he felt “almost sure it will pass both houses today.” If it passes, however, it may be subjected to a floor fight over size of rate and size of exemptions. At a second conference this morning in Welsh’s office, Democratic lawmakers agreed on a 4 per cent tax rate with federaltype exemptions for taxpayers, dependents, elderly and handicapped to raise the $225 million extra assumed to be needed above anticipated revenues under present tax sources. However, the Republican leaders held to a 3 per cent rate, saying they figure it would raise enough tomeet the budget qilirementsDiffer on Exemptions There was controversy also over i the exemptions. The Democratic plan proposed S6OO per taxpayer and dependent—s2,4oo exemption for a family of four. Republicans favored a flat SI,OOO exemption for the taxpayer only. When the morning caucus ended, Welsh told newsmen the Democrats “accepted the plan as the preferred approach to the solution of Indiana revenue problems.” He called it"the generally accepted program and the one being most seriously considered?” The governor said Senate Democratic leaders told him they believed there were enough Senate Republicans who would go along with the plan to pass it. There was no discussion of a change in corporate taxes but it appeared a bill to close loopholes in taxes on interstate sales might be considered separately after another Democratic joint caucus next Tuesday morning, Welsh said. Immediately after this morning's Democratic caucus, Welsh asked Republican leaders of both houses to meet with him. They pr mptly complied. Part Os the air of optimism which pervaded the legislative chambers was based not so much on Republican endorsement of the plan for its merits as it was on reluctant acceptance to end the stalemate. There have been increasing signs of restlessness by lawmakers on both sides of the political fence to end the session which has been in progress since Jan. 10 and now is near 90 days in length, and go home to family and personal . business.

Charges Deal Made By Justice Dept.
GREENWOOD, Miss. (UPI) — Negro comedian Dick Gregory charged Thursday night that the Justice Department had made a deal with Mississippi authorities in releasing eight “ring leaders’’ in voter registration marches. “The Justice Department has made deals with these people and they’re still making deals with them,” Gregory told a nighttime rally of 400 Negroes. He referred to action Thursday in which Federal Judge Claude Clayton postponed until fall a suit brought by the Justice Department asking for an injunction barring interference with voter registration. Both Reach Agreement Clayton acted after an agreement was reached between attorneys for the government and the city of Greenwood. The government agreed to drop its request for an immediate temporary restraining order and the city agreed to free temporarily the eight Negroes arrested during a march last week. Justice Department attorney
John Doar indicated the agreement was reached because the government needed more time to prepare its case. The hearing was at Greenville, Miss., about 50 miles from Greenwood. Gregory, who appeared tired and shaken after nearly a week of voter registration march leadership, told the rally that the Kennedy administration isn't “worried about you because you don’t vote.” Vows to Remain The Chicago comedian had vowed to stay in Greenwood until the federal government sends in troops to counteract what he has described as police brutality and general discrimination against Negroes. He called off a march of about 40 Negroes Thursday when a police photographer started snapping pictures. He said he feared the photographs would be used to identify the demonstrators and lead to economic reprisals and nightrider attacks.
