Each day at the Putnam County Fair will be designated as a different “Community Day’’ and the grounds will .be in charge of members of Lions Clubs from each of these communities. Putnam county Lions Clubs are all participating in the fair

Neither former national chairman Frink McKinney, a strong Harriman supporter, nor former national committeeman Frank McHale could be reached for comment. McKinney once estimated Harriman might get as many as eight of Indiana's 26 votes on the second ballot. Hoosier support for Symington was believed slight.

The heavy rainstorm which came up out of the west early last night will do wonders for the
corn and bean crops of
Putnam county, according to all
information today.
There was a total of threequarters of an inch of rainfall registered by The Daily Banner rain gauge. This will be sufficient to about “finish” the corn and bean crops. The corn is now in the roasting ear stage and beans arc said to be blooming. Another rain within two weeks will almost guarantee a bumper corn and bean crop for Putnam
county farmers.
Doctors Report Ike "Is Fine'
WASHINGTON, (UP)—President Eisenhower underwent a physical examination this mornng and his physicians reported
he is in “fine shape.”
The President was examined at the White House by his person- j il physician, Maj. Gen. Howard Sn>der; Col. Thomas W. Mattingly, heart specialist from Walter Reed Army Hospital; and , Maj. Gen. Leonard Heaton, com manding officer at Walter Reed who performed the ileitis operation on the President June 9. Examination included blood chemistry tests and an electrocardiography examination to check the condition of his heart. Snyder said that the electrocardiograph "showed no deterioration” of the President's heart
condition.
LONDON (UP)—Britain and France rushed independent plans today for stern action against Egypt to end the Suez Canal crisis while waiting for John Foster Dulles to end what the British press called American in-
decision.
The secretary of state fieri here today from Washington for scheduled talks with the French and British foreign ministers but immediately turned the schedules topsy turvy by demanding a thorough briefing first. Britain was rushing its biggest military building since the Korean War. It ordered fleet concentrations at both ends of the Suez Canal and prepared to fly 20,000 reinforcements to the Middle East for whatever action seemed necessary. France, also impatient of American caution, recalled its ambassador from Egypt, Count Armand Du Chayala, for consultations on new P'rench policy to counter Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser's seizure of
the canal.
There were cries in the British and French press for a "go il alone” policy if tne United States fails to come around to the Anglo-French point of view. There was open talk of the use of force if necessary in both
countries.
British Foreign Secretary Su 1 .- wyn Lloyd and French Foreign Minister Christian Pineau apparently were determined not to accept Egyptian seizure of the canal—even if it meant the use of their armies and navies. Dulles arrived in London early today and was scheduled to hold a working session with Lloyd and Pineau. Instead ht postponed
. I the formal Big Three session un-
til later in the day while he
could be briefed.
Dulles was invited to lunch b;. Prime Minister Anthony Eden and the Foreign Office promptly announced that Lloyd and Pineau
would be there too.

21 Plants Closed By New Strike PITTSBURGH (UP) — The United Steelworkers today called more than 20.000 members off their jobs at facilities of the nation's two largest aluminum producers in a strike that paralyzed production of 50 per cent of the defense-vital metal. The strike begm at midnight when current contracts expired and negotiations bogged down in New York. It closed 21 plants across the nation operated by the Aluminum Company of America and the Reynolds Met-
als Co.
But the Aluminum Workers Union, bargaining here for some 15,000 workers at nine ALCOA plants, agreed to postpone its threatened walkout. The AWU called a 24-hour strike truce after an all-night bargaining session and its members stayed on the job. The union Uso agreed to a "day-by-day” delay with Reynolds.
Senator Warns Of Russ Power WASHINGTON (UP) — Sen Henry M. Jackson, firing back at Adm. Arthur W. Radford, said today the United States is in danger of underestimating, rath- j er than overestimating, Russian military power. The Washington Democrat took direct issue with a charge by Radford that critics of the administration’s defense policies have been making “an almost hysterical assumption" about Soviet military capabilities. Jackson denied that Democra* s have been relying on any “hysterical assumptions” in claiming the United States is in danger of losing air supremacy to Russia. In fact, he said in an interview, the tendency in the past has been to underestimate Soviet military developments. “We underestimated the Soviets on the A-bomb, the H-bomb, and tne Soviet rate of production of long-range bombers,” he said One indication of this, he said, is that the United States recently stepped up B52 intercontinental bomber production over original plans. Lacy Newman Died Tuesday Lacy Newman, age 89, passed away suddenly Tuesday evening at the Ruark Nursing home. He was taken to the nurs.ng homt Tuesday morning. Mr. Newm in spent his entire life in the Coatesville community and resided two miles south of Coatesville. He was a retired

Survivors are two children, John of Clayton R- 1: Mrs. Ethel Rutledge, Indianapolis, and a grandd lUghter, Mrs. Lowell
Coffman.

But attendants at St. Luke's Hospital here, where Woolson has fcieen in a coma since Saturday, said he was still listed as in criti-

MR. EISENHOWER HAS CONFEREHCE WITH REPORTERS SAYS NIXON IS ACCEPTABLE AS HIS 1956 RUNNING
MATE
WASHINGTON (UP)-Pren'-dent Eisenhower told a news conference today that Vice President Richard M. Nixon is perfectly acceptable to him as a 1956 .'tinning mate. The chief executive also said that Harold E. Stasscn was completely within his rights as a private citizen in backing someone other than Nixon Mr. Eisenhower declined to state flatly that he wants Nixon. He said he would not presume to dictate to the Republican nominating convention. The President talked to a crowd of 311 reporters at his first session with them since June 6. He made these other points of news: 1. He believes that he will b" able to serve out another four years in office if re-elected. He said that physically he has improved every' day since his June 9 ileitis operation. 2. He said the Suez Canni crisis posed p great issue to every nation with a sea coast. He said the United States must be sme that the rights of the world aie
not abused.
3. He said he thought Stassen, his special assistant for disarmament matters, had done a ve r v splendid job in his official role, (.’n the basis of his information today, he expected Stassen to rejoin the official family after his leave of absence for politicking
ends Aug. 27.
4. At no time after his June 9 major surgery was he in any doubt about running again. He said he regarded the operation as merely a matter of correction
32-day strike.
Top industry and union representatives said Tuesday night U. S. Steel was “very close” to an agreement with the United Steo’vvorkers on all non-cconoinic
matters.
The economic issues of the dispute were settled last week when the union and leading steel companies signed an unprecedented three-year agreement. It cabs for wages and benefits that will cost the industry more than $1,.300.000,000 over the life of the
pact.
However, the nation’s 650,000 j striking steelworkers cannot re-j turn to work until formal con- , tracts are signed between the | union and the companies. Even if final agreements arc signed later this week, top industry spokesmen said it will take a couple of days to get the mills “rolling again.” A general back-to-work order was not expected until Monday, at the earliest. Tuesday, Roger Blough, chair- ! man of giant U. S. Steel Corj., j said his firm hopes to resume its operations on Monday. Blough told a news conference the strike had cost “big steel” about 2 million dollars a day in out-of-pocket costs and upwards of 3 1 -. million in lost production
tier tion race. On the vice presidency, Mr. K s< nhower refused to say whether he would be “happy” to run with Christian R. Herter, the Massachusetts Republican gov ernur who is backed by Stassen. The President said he did not want to discuss personalities beyond Nixon and that he mentioned Nixon primarily because he now occupies the vice presidency.
