Ford Output Is Cut By Strikes

By DONALD ZOCHERT United Press International Ford Motor Co. automobile production was cut to 10 per cent of normal today by crippling local strikes but the United Auto Workers (UAW) union was a giant step nearer to settlement with the strike - bound Allis - Chalmers Manufacturing Co. Teamsters union boss James R. Hoffa threw his weight behind striking pulp and paper workers on the West Coast and federal mediators tried to head off a nationwide railroad strike set for next Monday. The effects of local UAW walkouts in five plants across the country was felt sharply by Ford, the nation’s second largest auto producer. Lack of parts has shut down all but two Ford assembly plants and kept more than half the firm’s 130,-000-man work force off the job. Expect Shut Down The strike began Nov. 6 in disputes over local issues at nine plants despite agreement on a national contract. Ford was expected to shut down completely by the end of the week if settlement is not reached at the five plants still on strike. The UAW and Allis-Chalmers, the agricultural and heavy equipment manufacturer, announced agreement Monday night on central contract issues involving five plants in four Midwestern states. Local issues have been resolved in the 10-day strike at four of the struck plants, but negotiations continued today at the largest, West Allis, Wis. The tentative three-year pact announced Monday night covers nearly 11,000 Allis - Chalmers workers. It provides a 5.3 per cent wage increase during the period as well as increased cost-of-living, holiday, vacation and insurance benefits. Set Strike Date Six off-train unions Monday formally set 6 a.m. local time Monday as the deadline for their threatened walkout against the nation’s railroads. A strike could tie up the country’s rail traffic. A federal mediator, who met with representatives of the unions Monday, slated talks today with the carriers in an attempt to resolve the perrennial railroad dispute. The unions are

demanding wage increases in excess of those previously approved by a presidential emergency board. On the West Coast, where about 21,000 pulp and paper workers are on strike against mills in Oregon, Washington and California, the first round of negotiations wound up with a “no progress” report Monday night. Teamsters union Boss James R. Hoffa gave his support to the striking workers and urged Teamster members .on the coast to give every aid to the strikers. William Perrin, president of the striking Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers, said his union had solicitied Hoffa’s support and was grateful for the “pat on the back.”

Plans Rebuilding Burned-Out Tavern Mike Shannon, owner of the Blackstone tavern that was completely gutted by a Saturday morning fire, said today that plans are underway for rebuilding the establishment. Shannon has talked with insurance. adjustors and Carl Gattshall, from whom he purchased the building about a month ago, and said plans are now underway to put the Blackstone back! in business. “We are going to build it back up as soon as we can,” Shannon said when contacted this morning. The local tavern, located at 254 N. Second street, was * completely gutted by a fire that started in the basement of the building arid quickly spread to a false ceiling and ravaged the interior. The building remained standing, but the roof was heavily damaged. ,« Still Undetermined Fire chief Cedric Fisher said at noon today that the cause of the blaze, which was reported to firemen at 7 a. m., was still not determined. . Fisher revealed, however, that he has scheduled an investigation through the heavily - damaged basement part of the tavern for tomorrow, in an attempt to determine what caused the fire. It was the second time in less

CHICAGO (UPI) — A federal grand jury today indicted Dr. Andrew C. Ivy, world-renowned physiologist, and other backers of the controversial cancer drug krebiozen on charges of conspiracy, mail fraud, and making false statements to the government. The 49-count indictment was the most drastic government action to date against the drug which has been a center of one of the century’s greatest medical debates for more than a decade. It marked the first time that Ivy, who at 71 has staked his scientific reputation on krebiozen’s worth, was the direct target of government action. Ivy refused comment . on the charges. ' It was also the first grand jury indictment specifically attacking krebiozen as worthless in the treatment of cancer. An indictment against other krebiozen sponsors returned last Oct. 29 charged violation of federal rules against interstate sale of the drug. Also named in the 49 - count indictment werie Dr. Stevan Durovic, developer of krebiozen; Marko Durovic, his lawyer brother, the Promak Laboratories, where krebiozen is manufactured; the Krebiozen Research Foundation; and Dr. William Phillips of Chicago, a krebiozen backer. The charges in the indictment included allegations of mail fraud, mislabeling, and making false statements to the government. The government said the false information included a statement by the defendants that the cost of producing one gram than six years that owners Mike and Edna Shannon have had a tavern destroyed by fire. On January 4, 1959, the Blackstone Case was completely gutted by a fire when it was located at 124 N. Second street, the present site of the Local Loan Co. Kimble’s Cigar Store, now the Decatur Sports Center, was also damaged extensively in that fire. The Shannons later reestablished the Blackstone at its present location. Other Tavern Open Jack Bopp, owner of Jack & Jerry’s Inn, the building south of the Blackstone, said today that his tavern is open for business. Bopp was conferring with insurance adjustors today, and his cwn personal estimate of the damage to his tavern amounted to “around $5,000, or $6,000.” Here was no actual fire in Bopp's tavern, but it was heavily damaged by water .being poured on the Blackstone building roof. There was also some smoke damage.

of krebiozen was $170,000. In fact, the government said, the cost was 30 cents a gram. Today’s indictment supersed-, ed indictments returned last Oct. 29 naming the Durovics and the Krebiozen Research Foundation. The earlier indictment, which did not name Ivy, charged conspiracy to place krebiozen into interstate commerce in violation of the law. Ivy, 71, is a Roosevelt University physiologist who has staked a reputation of world stature on krebiozen’s worth as an agent in controlling cancer. Almost from the day since he first announced the discovery

Seek To Halt Rail Strike

CHICAGO (UPI) — A federal mediator met with representatives of the nation's railroads today in an effort to head off a threatened nationwide rail strike set for next Monday. Francis A. O’Neill of the National Mediation Board said no joint negotiations were planned between the railroads and the six shop craft unions which' called the strike Monday. O’Neill met with the railroads this morning. He said he would follow with another session with the leaders of the shop craft unions in the afternoon. Michael Fox, president of the AFL-CIO Railway Employes Department, formally announced Monday that 140,000 members of the six non-operating unions would go on strike at 6 a.m. local time Monday. He ( said the posting of picket lines would force “virtually a complete shutdown” of the nation’s major railroads. Seek Higher Wages The six shopcraft unions represent machinists, boilermakers, sheet metal workers, electricians, car men, firemen and oilers. Their chief demand is for wage increases in excess of Institute Change In Mass At St. Mary's World-wide changes in the liturgy of the Roman Catholic religion are presently being phased into services at St. Mary’s Catholic church in Decatur. The sweeping changes, most renowned of which is the change from Latin to English in many ceremonies, include not only the mass, but the rites of the Sacraments of the church as well. The changes are the result of the labors of the late Pope John XXIII, who was deeply interested in modernizing the liturgy of the church and making its ceremonies more meaningful to the average Catholic. He died before the changes could be promulgated, and his successor. Pope Paul VI, issued the decree providing for the changes on December 4. 1963. The changes are being made in a step-bv-step manner, with the neriod of change beginning in September of this year and extending to March of 1965. The first of the changes to be instituted at St. Mary’s came on September 14 when the rites of the sacraments, including baptism and confession, were changed from Latin to English. The change to the vernacular language was made at the same time in Catholic parishes' all over the world. It represented the first time in 400 vears that the rites had been said in any language other than Latin. . - > Faces People On Monday of this week members of the local Catholic congregation attended a special mass at the church. A portable altar was installed in the center of the sanctuary and. for the first time in this parish, the priest said

of krebiozen to the medical world in 1951, Ivy and the Durovics have fought the forces of organized medicine. The American Medical Association (AMA) called krebiozen “worthless” and the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said last year that an investigation showed the main ingredient of krebiozen was creatine, a common substance found in large quantities in the human body. Reached at his Roosevelt University offices today, Ivy said of the indictment: “I will have no comment on it. I will make no comment on it.”

those recommended last month by a presidential emergency board. “Only if railroad management changes its course and negotiates a settlement before (Monday) -can the strike be avoided,” Fox said. He told newsmen later, however, “if I get a call from the White House I’ll give serious consideration to it." Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz earlier had said there was “no prospect” of White House intervention in the latest outbreak of the years-long railroad dispute. J. E. Wolfe, chairman of the National Railway Labor Conference and the main bargainer for the carriers, said Monday the railroads would not meet the union demands. Hold To Pattern “We do not intend to break the pattern,” he said. Wolfe said the shopcraft unions were “trying to gain an advantage over the other unions” by seeking wage boosts higher than those recommended by the presidential board. The board, which held hearings on the dispute after direct negotiations failed, recommended Oct. 20 that the railroads grant wage increases totaling 27 cents an hour over a three year period. A 30-day “cooling off” period, which ends Friday, was then set up to allow both sides to spell out details. But the carriers and the six non-operating unions were still far apart.

mass facing the people. This change was made in conjunction with the opening of Forty Hours devotions at St. Mary’s. The devotions are being held Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, and during that time each day’s masses will be said with the priest facing the people. Sunday, Nov. 29, nearly half of the rites of the mass will be changed to English. Changes will also be made in some of the ceremonial functions of the mass. The changes will include the institution of an offertory procession, with representatives of the congregation bringing the water and wine to the altar. March 7, 1965, the first Sunday of Lent, several more changes will begin. At this time the mass will be simplified, to make it more meaningful.

Investigate Bill For Work On Jail The Adams county commissioners yesterday reviewed an $845.96 bill submitted by Anderson Industries for remodeling work at the county jail and decided to investigate the work before allowing the bill. The commissioners were all of the opinion that the bill was excessive in view of the size of the job and the amount of materials which should have been required to complete it. It was pointed out that several items in the materials list were priced well above their current selling figure. The total bill was derived from a series of individual bills submitted by the firm. The bill forms which the firm uses are numbered consecutively In checking the bills a Decatur Daily Democrat reporter found that one submitted on Oct. 10 had a lower number than one submitted on the ninth. The Oct. 10 bill was numbered 21651. The number from the Oct. bill was 21652. Another bill, dated Nov. 16, had an even lower number, 21144. The commissioners also discussed for a shirt tame the possibility of installing voting machines in the county. Commissioner Max Kreps pointed out that the current cost of the machines is about $650 per unit. Marvin Haines and Charles Jones, of Blue Creek township, appeared during the morning session of the meeting to request county aid in repairing a ditch which runs across their farms. The commissioners ' informed them that the county would’pay a share of the repair cost proportionate to the amount of drainage -water which the ditch handles from a nearby county road.

Johnsons Observe 30th Anniversary

WASHINGTON (UPD-Presi-dent Johnson puts aside affairs of state for a time today to observe an affair of the heart—his 30th wedding anniversary. The Chief Executive, Mrs. Johnson and their daughters Lynda Bird, 20. and Luci Baines, 17, planned a small private dinner party. But it’s likely that, given the gregarious nature of the Johnson family, a few friends may be invited to drop by and help celebrate tonight. Johnson had only two appointments on his schedule. The first was the traditional mid-Noveim-ber presentation of the White House’s Thanksgiving turkey; the second was with Carl T. Rowan, director of the U.St, Information Agency (USIA). The turkey, a 40-pound broadbreasted bronze gobbler, is the gift of the National Turkey Federation and the Poultry and Egg National Board. It comes from the Ray Thompson turkey farm at Ellsworth, -lowa. First Impression Claudia Alta Taylor — known to all her friends as “Lady Bird”—was a shy, quiet young woman of 21. when she first met a lanky former school teacher who was to become her husband back in 1934. Her first impression of Lyndon Johnson was that he was “excessively thin but very, very good-looking with lots of ahir,-

Further Shakeup In Kremlin Expected

MOSCOW (UPl)—The Communist party Central Committee held another secret meeting today. Informed sources said a further Kremlin shakeup was expected, possibly involving government posts. The sources said the new Soviet leaders soon will follow up Monday’s ouster of Nikita S. Khrushchev’s associates by stripping Khrushchev of his remaining power. But such action was not expected at today’s ses-1 sion. The Central Committee, of which the ousted premier still is a member. Monday carried out its first high-level shakeup since Khrushchev was deposed Jobless Pay Claims Continue Low Here Ten new claims and 2U continued claims, for a total of 30, were filed in Adams county for the week ending last Saturday, Richard P. App, manager of the Fort Wayne office, said today. This compares with five new claims and 20 continued claims or 25 total a week ago, and 89 claims a year ago, and indicates that a very small percentage of the nearly 5,000 local employes covered by unemployment compensation through the Indiana employment security division, which represents half of the local nonagricultural work force, is presently unemployed. This works out to about .5% for Adams county, compared to unemployment of 2% in the general Fort Wayne area, 2.8% in Indiana as a whole, and 4.5%, or 3,317,000 out of a total work force of 74,122,000 in the entire United States. A. few seasonal unemployed from the bean rush and from other local manufacturers usually occur abbut this time of year, but they have not materialized here as yet.

quite black and wavy, and the most outspoken, straightforward, determined young man I had ever met. “I knew I had met something remarkable," she recalled later, "but I didn’t know quite what." On their first date, she said, "he told me all sorts of things that I thought were extraordinarily direct for a first confersation—his salary as secretary to a congressman, about how much insurance he had, his ambitions, about all the members of his family. It was just as if he was ready to give me a picture of his life and of what he might be capable of doing." Thought It Joke Then he asked her to marry him. "I thought it was some kind of a joke," she said later. But she soon found out that Johnson was dead serious. He took her to meet his parents and his boss, the late Rep, Richard M. Kleberg Sr., D-Tex., and he managed to see her every day until he had to return to Washington. When Johnson met her father, the late Thomas Jefferson Taylor, the old man told her: “Daughter, you’ve been bringing home a lot of boys. This time you’ve brought a man." For the next two months Johnson telephoned or wrote his intended nearly every day. Fi—aally, Miss Taylor capitulated.

Oct. 14. It concentrated on Communist party posts Monday. Today the sources said it might be reorganizing government posts. But in such a case the changes might not be made known until next month’s session of the Supreme Soviet. Monday’s Central Committee session also was secret, but a brief official announcement of its decisions was released after- » wards. It ousted Khrushchev's ailing chief deputy, Frol Kozlov, his son-in-law, Alexei Adzhubei; and his farm expert, Vasily I. Polyakov, from their seats on the Presidium, Central Committee, or secretariat. At the same time, it made several key appointments, a move seen partly as a reward for those officials who were useful in remojjing Khrushchev. The promotions also brought new status to the Soviet secret police. Alexander N. Shelepin, 46, Khdushchev’s former secret, police chief, was elected to full membership in the Presidium, the 11-man body that runs the Communist party' and the Sovi~et Union. Pyotor Y. Shelest, Khrushchev’s deputy in the Ukraine, also gained full Presidium membership. Shelepin is I the first former chief of the Soviet secret police to gain full Presidium membership since Lavrenti P. Beria, who was executed in 1953 for an attempt to seize power. V. E. Semichastny, the state security committee chief whose approval was reported to have helped in removing Khrushchev, won full membership to the 330-man Central Committee. Khrushchev’s head of light industries. Pyotr N. Demichev, was made a candidate member of the Presidium. The sources said Khrushchev is expected to lose his seat on the Central Committee and the Supreme Soviet or parliament, the last two positions of any power remaining to him. They said the new party chief. Leonid I. Brezhnev, could be expected to initiate these changes in a matter of weeks.
