Indiana Adj. Gen. John S. Anderson today said the Department of the Army asked him to Submit his recommendation for the composition of the force to go to the island. “If approved this will be the first time that an Army national guard force of this size has been airlifted outside the continental United States for their annual field training,” Anderson said. “It will also be the greatest distance—about 2,600 miles—that a guard unit of this size has been airlifted.” Anderson said if the plan is approved a similar number from the Puerto Rico guard would be airlifted by Air National Guard C-97 planes to some training site in the United States.

South Bend To Seek Jobs For 6,000 Workers SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPD— South Bend rallied today from its wake over the demise of Studebaker’s auto assembly plant to start trying to find jobs for 6,000 orphaned workers. 'This is not Studebaker. Ind., —it is South Bend, 1nd.,.” said Mayor Frank J. Bruggner. He named Paul Gilbert, president of Gilbert’s Men’s Clothing Store, and Franklin D. Schurz, editor and publisher of the South Bend Tribune, to head a special committee to find jobs for the men thrown out of work and to bring new industry in to fill the void left by Studebaker. ‘‘Mourn the cars and mourn the people this decision will affect,” an editorial in the South Bend Tribune told readers, "but not the corporation or the community. Studebaker Corp, lives on and so does South Bend.” » News Stuns City Chairman Randolph H. Guthrie of Studebaker Corp, told a New York news conference about the announcement that had stunned this Northern Indiana city of more than 125,000 population Monday. He said Studebaker had lost S4O million in South Bend and it was moving its automotive branch to Canada where it could operate at a profit because of low costs. Woodrow Frick, president of Local 5 of the AFL-CIO United Auto Workers, was openly angry at Guthrie’s way of breaking the news both Monday and Tuesday. ‘‘Greater consideration should have been given ...relief should have been thought... it’s not humanitarian,” he said. The workers gathered on

Sample St. outside Gate No. 1 of the 291-acre Studebaker plant. There was little to cheer them. Christmas Is Near Christmas was a fortnight away. Only salaried workers would get severance pay and the company said UAW men would have to rely on the “supplemental benefits” in their UAW contracts. Canadian law prevented the workers from going to the Hamilton, Ont., plant. The union said it would set up an employment bureau at union headquarters today. Studebaker also promised to set up an employment service but there was nothing definite when this would be. The special committee was made up of 35 members. “This is no time for panic,” Gilbert said. Bank deposits were higher than ever, he said, and other industries in the South Bend-Mishawaka area were healthy. In a standing room only audience in the council chambers of City Hall, C. M. McMillan, vice president in charge of labor relations, spoke for Studebaker. Ready to Assist “Studebaker feels very, very deeply. We stand ready to assist the community,” he said. “We’ve had no labor-manage-ment problems here,” he said. “We have a good working force but since 1959 the corporation has lost S4O million in the automotive division. “But that's not South Bend’s fault,” he said. Indiana Employment Security Division director Lewis Nicolini said Gov. Matthew Welsh—a member of the blue ribbon

’MEMOS" 4kBy: HENRY J. GREEN There is no such thing as harping too often on the importance of hair care. There are literally scores of practices requiring little in terms of time, talent or money that can only add to your hair's health and beauty. For example: Don’t follow a strict, unvarying schedule for hair washing. Hair should be washed when it requires it, not because wash day •oils around . . Don't keep your hair pulled back tightly in a chignon or ponytail. Also, vary the pgrt at reasonable intervals . . Your hair—any hair, for that matter—will react beautifully to the small luxury of 'an expert* salon shampoo, set and shaping ' These attentions, by the way, expert and luxunous to the smallest detail, are but a few of the specialties at MI-LA-DE STYLING SALON, U. S. Rte. 27“ and Jackson. Make your appointment today. Phone 3-4478. Open evenings by ap-pointment-closed Monday. THIS WEEK'S HOUSEHOLD HINT: If you wear pearls, be chary of putting perfume on yrtur neck. This may discolor Ufem.

South Bend committee—had put a “top priority” tag on the unemployment situation, developing because of the Studebaker closedown. In Chicago, R. S. Tauber, president of the Chicago Area Studebaker Dealers Association, said getting out of South Bend was “the best move Studebaker ever made.” Break-Even Point Tauber said Studebaker had to produce -115,000 to 120.000 cars a year in South Bend to break even but was able to turn out only 50,000 to 60,000. The Studebaker demise was the ending, to several things. It shrank big automakers in the United States to four—General Motors, Ford, Chrysler and American Motors. It was the end of 111 years of Studebaker in South Bend. And it removed one of the most historic and storied names—that of Pete and Clem Studebaker, who started by making and selling wagons —from the American scene. And for South Bend, all this - and a 2-7 record by Notre Dame’s fighting Irish, Who have had going lately too, this past fall. * Two Reformatory Escapees Caught INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Edgar Lee Beers, 22, Indianapolis, and Albert Roscoe Shadrick, 23, Evansville, who escaped from the Indiana Reformatory at Pendleton Sunday, were captured here today.
