manager of farm progress SHOW THANKS PUTNAM COUNTY
The Daily Banner is in receipt of the following letter from Maynard Bertsch. manager of the Farm Progress show held here last month by Prairie Farmer and WLS. On behalf of Prairie FarmerWLS I would personally like to express my appreciation to you and all the people of Putnam County for the fine cooperation shown during that time we were preparing for, and presenting, the 1956 Farm Progress Show. We can honestly say' we had the best cooperation this year that we have ever enjoyed. The •willingness of your Putnam Ccwnty people to help sponsor this tremendous show was beyond all expectations. Never -was there an individual who refused to help in whatever way was possible. We are especially indebteded to those people affiliated with the American Red Cross, Soil Conservation Service, the Extension Service, your newspaper, and many, many others for their outstanding assistance. It was indeed a joy to be with you people in Putnam County during the summer of 1956, and we shall never forget the acquaintances we made nor the cooperartion your citizens offered. Come and see us next year in Illinois. Maynard Bertsch

Adlai Delivers Luncheon Talk
By 1'nltrd I’rexp*
Adlai E. Stevenson accused the Eisenhower administration today of a “snuggling intimacy” willthe g\ants of business and a narrow lack of concern for everything that does not ”pay off in
the cash ledger."
In a speech prepared for delivery before a businessmen’s lunch in New York City, the Democratic presidential cand : - date said his party is “the best i friend American business has.” i He charged that the Eisenhower administration lacks both the broad representation and the im- | agination to see that money invested in education, health and welfare and natural resources is
Russ Troops To Return To Bases
WARSAW (UP) — Premier Josef Cyrankiewicz told parliament today that all Russian troops in Poland would return to specifically defined Warsaw Pact bases within two days. Cyrankiewicz also declared firmly that “decision on all Polish matters are now exclusively in Polish hands.” Cyrankiewicz made his announcement when he appeared before the second session of the current meeting of ihe Sejm parliament to report on the “present situation” in this country. He spoke against a background of reduced tension inside Poland, but with news of revolt in Communist Hungary reverberating across the world. The Polish Communist Party restored Wladyslavv Gomulka to power last weekend ;n a bloodless reassertion of national rights over Russian control. But in Hungary a similar move to lemove Russian domination resulted in open civil war. The report by Cryankiewicz was the first formal indication that Soviet troops actually had moved during the weekend upheaval that destored Gomulka as premier in Poland’s move toward national independence within the Communist camp. Tuesday, authoritative sources said Russia had ordered its Po-lish-based troops back to their camps and Russian warships out of Polish waters. Today Cyrankiewicz made these reports offi-
cial.

Nixon Speaks At South Bend
SOUTH BEND (UP)—Vice President Richard M. Nixon visited Indiana Tuesday for the third time in this election campaign as he swung across the northern tip of Hoosierland en route from Michigan to Illinois on a railroad whistle-stop tour. Nixon spoke to a crowd of 3.000 persons here at a Repuhlican rally, watched the University of Notre Dame football team practice, and made a short train platform appearance at Valparaiso as he heguled toward Illinois. In the South Bend speech, Nixon said Adlai Stevenson’s Hbomb proposal gives the impression that Russian # leaders are more dedicated to peace than is President Eisenhower. A vote for Stevenson would be “a vote for the weakness, indecision and inexperience which could lead to war,” Nixon said.
WASHINGTON (UP)—President Eisenhov/er is ready not only to stop H-bomb tests, but "to put all nuclear weapons aside permanently” as soon as “one basic requirement is met.” “This requirement is that v e. as a nation, and all peoples, know safety from attack.” But until “properly safeguarded international agreements can be reached,” this country must continue to develop “the most advanced weapons for the sake of our own national safety, for the sake of all free nations, for the sake of peaoe itself.” The President thus capsuled his H-bomb policy late Tuesday in releasing from the White House two long official memoranda detailing the history of U. S. nuclear developments and the history of U. S. efforts to control the atom for peace since 1945. The President’s statement and the two documents—which he called “a full and explicit review’ | of American nuclear policies and | actions—dealt at length with Adlai E. Stevenson’s proposals for banning H-bomb tests. The documents also disclosed that Mr. Eisenhower twice- in late June, 1954, and again in June, 1955—aoproved interagency recommendations that the United States should not agree to a “test moratorium” in the absence of a disarmament agreement. The first action followed a test ban recommendation by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India on April 2. 1954. Nehru’s proposal was echoed by the Communist world peace council. The second followed a Soviet proposal for prohibition of tests, “without provision of safeguards,” and a report by pres.dential disarmament adviser Harold E. Stassen stressing “the absolute necessity of effective inspection in any agreement’ with Russia. Stevenson has said a simple test ban argreement with Russians is sufficient because if they cheat and explode an H-bomb “we would immediately detect it.” President Eisenhower: It is impossible “to hav» positive assurance of such detection except in the case of the largest weapons. Nor is it possible to state, immediately following the longrange detection of a test, its size and character.” Stevenson has said H-bomb^ contaminate the atm< sphere and cause genetic damage endangering children yet unborn. Mr. Eisenhower: “The continuance of the present rate of Hbomb testing- by thf most sob^r and responsible scientific judgment—does not imperil the hehlth of humanity.”

27 EUROPEANS ARE SLAIN BY MOSLEM MOBS
OTHERS WOUNDED A1EKNES BY ANGRY NATIVES
RABAT, Morocco (UP)—Infuriated Moslems killed 27 Europeans and wounded 25 more in the city of Meknes Tuesday in anger over French arrest of five Algerian leaders, it was disclosed today. The arrest of the Algerian leaders while they were flying to Tunis in a Moroccan airlines plane brought France to one of its biggest North African crises in years, with trouble from all nations involved—Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria. Reports here today said the Moslem mobs stormed through Meknes’ European quarter, pulled motorists out of their cars, hurled rocks and paving blocks at passing pedestrians and battered their way into European homes One French couple was chopped to bits with hatchets before the eyes of their screaming children. The captured Moslem leader? were en route for a “peace conference” in Tunis in hopes of ending the bitter Algerian rebellion against French rule. Eyewitness reports said the Moslem mobs went into action when a former liberation army officer, Si Abdelem, was accidentally killed by bullets from his own machine gun. The mob, thinking he was the victim of Eurooeans. turned with fury on Frencn bystanders. One garage me“hanic was hauled out of a grease pit and dragged to the municipal square where he was beaten to death. Another mob swarmed into a French home, seized a Mr. and Mrs. I^aveda ■’-d dissected them alive with knh . daggers as their children gagj, i in horror.

Men's Club To Pick Corn Crop
VIENNA (UP) — Hungary’s Communist regime called in Soviet troops today to crush on armed revolt that flared into open civil war. Popular hero Imre Nagy took over the premiership and appealed for an end to the street fighting raging throughout the country. Nagy, the popular hero whose return to leadership was the fi»st fruit of the rebellion, clamped martial law on the entire country and then went before the people to try to restore order. But Budapest Radio reported that street fighting still was raging late in the day after night long battles between anti-Stakn-ist and anti-Comniunist rebely and Hungarian troops and polic e. Nagy broadcast his appeal foi a cease-fire in a voice trembling with excitement. He called on "all who are fighting to put dov.n their arms by 2 p. m." (7 a. m. CST). He promised that all who surrendered by that time would not face trial. Earlier he had ordered the death sentence for all rebels. Budapest Radio, the only communication line with the outside world, said "fascist” elements were in revolt. One broadcast charged that counter revolutionaries had "stormed plants and public buildings, murdered civilians, soldiers and t urity police.” The government called in Soviet troops because it was not prepared for such “bloody attacks from ambush,” Radio Budapest said. It appeared to observers in Vienna that the government was no longer able to trust its own army. Throughout the long series of Budapest announcements first of the fighting, then of the spreading warfare, then of the political developments listeners in Vienna could hear rifle shots. The revolt actually began Tuesday when thousands of students demonstrated in the streets of Budapest. They demanded the return of Nagy and the ouster of the Soviet troops who hav“ kept order in the country since World War II. The Communist leadership met in emerg session before dawn and restored Nagy to t v e post from which he was once banished for “rightis deviation” —a policy too far from that laid down by Josef Stalin.
