Missouri state police requested | an autopsy to determine whether these were shotgun pellets or fragments of a rifle bullet. McAlester told authorities Hopkins had ordered him to shoot. The trooper denied this.

HIGH COURT HEARS ORAL ARGUMENTS TODAY
pending final FPC decision on the request, unless the pipeline’s customers consent. The court will hear arguments later and will follow with a written opinion. The case stemmed from an application for a rate hike of almost 10 million dollars a year filed with tne FPC in 1955 by United Gas Pipe Line Co., one of the largest such firms in the country. In accordance with its routine procedures, the commission stopped the increase from going into effect for six months—until April 1, 1956. Meantime it started hearings with the stipulation that any part cf the rate hike not eventually approved would be refunded. During the hearings the Supreme Court ruled that a pipeline cannot change the rates in its contracts with customers— usually gas wholesalers and utilities— through FPC proceedings unless the customers consent. Tne FPC ruled that United’s customer contracts were worded so as to provide automatic consent to an FPC-approved rate increase. The U. S. Court of Appeals here reversed the FPC’s interpretation last Nov. 21. The issue was brought to the court by the Memphis Tenn., Light, Gas and Water Division and the Mississippi Valley Gas Co. United sells to Mississippi, which in turn sells to Mempnis.
program. Banned from all atomic research until 1955, Germany in two years has put two atomic reactors into operation, founded societies for atomic development, and is rapidly catching up on other nations engaged in similar programs for a decade longer. Laws controlling the use of the atom are in the legislative mill, and schools and uruversities the nation over have begun atomicage education. In 1955, the German government predicted it would be 15 years before the nation could put the atom to peaceful use. But scientists and industry are well on the way to proving the government estimation wrong. Last September, Germany’s first research reactor was put into operation in Municn. The second followed Jan. 16 in Frankx'urt. A third reactor in Berlin is scheduled to start operation next fall. In Stuttgart, the nation’s first A-bomb shelter has been constructed. The city of Dueeseldorf will have its own reactor sometime in 1959. It will be used to train power station employes and for experimenting with atomic power in industry.

inent Americans representing government, the military, business, labor, science and the church. The question was: “What troubles you most as you look at America today?” The man who has served as spejker longer than anyone else in history emphasized that his indictment of timid leadership was not aimed solely at the White House. “I think," he said, peering over his prince-nez glasses, “that the entire political leadership of the country—Congress and the administration, Democrats and Republicans—is guilty of underestimating the American people.” Rayburn said he is convinced that Americans “want to know the cold, hard facts, of where we stand in the arms race with Rus-
sia.
“I believe the people are ready to work hard, to have stern demands made on them,” he said. “They are ready to make whatever contributions are necessary to keep this country strong and free.” But Rayburn said political leaders—and again he included Congress along with the administiation—have been reluctant to ask Americans to make heroic contributions. “There has been a tendency to shield the people from bad news, to withhold essential facts that they ought to know. There has been a hesitancy to impose buruens on them—even necessary burdens.” Everyone has seen pictures of Rayburn. But the bald head and the scowl which are so prominent in his photographs are not w’hat you notice when you talk to him. It is dignity that impresses you —a dignity that flows from the man rather than the trappings of his office, and which remains unruffled even when Mr. Sara leaches back to his boyhood in Bonham, Tex., for an earthy anecdote to illustrate his point. Rayburn, 76, has served in Congress for 45 of those years. He jokes about being “an old man.” But he doesn’t talk like
one.
He opened the interview by saying he wanted to "get on the iecor.1 one thing that I'm not worried about.” “I’m not worried about our young people. It makes me tired to hear all this talk about the young generation going to hell in a hack. Every spring I talk to hundreds of these high school seniors on Their visits to the Capitol, and I tell you they are a lot smarter than I was at their age.” The interview was held in the speaker’s office, just off the House floor in the Capitol. Mr. Speaker, do you believe the American people are frightened
in three months.

Ford Man Blasts Reuther's Plan
WASHINGTON (UP) — A Ford executive said today auto union proposals for profit-shar-ing and price-cutting would kill off two car firms and leave two others “limping low.” The charge was made by Theodore O. Yntema, Ford Motor Co. vice president, in testimony prepared for delivery to the Senate Anti-Monopoly subcommittee. Yntema attacked proposals by Walter P. Reuther, president of the AFL-CIO United Auto Workers. He labelled Reuther’s call for a $100 cut in car prices “ridiculous” and an effort to divert attention from W’hat he called the union’s “inflationary” wage demands. Yntema also blasted Reuther’s profit-sharing- plan. He said it would be difficult to “contrive a plan more damaging to the preservation of competition in a free society or to the integrity of our currency.” AFL-CIO President George Meany Monday night expressed doubts of the wisdom of profitsharing plans. He suggested unions go slow in adopting proposals such as Reuther’s, slated for discussion in auto industry wage talks this spring. Meany said most profit-sharing proposals in the past were offered by management and had the goal of tying workers to their jobs. He added however that a strong union like the UAW might be able to erect safeguards against “some of the evils” that have arisen in the past. Reuther’s profit-sharing plan involves only auto profits above 10 per cent of net capital. One half of the amount over 10 per cent would go to executives and stockholders, one-fourth to workers and one-fourth to customers in the form of year-end rebates.

Rites Held For Leslie Wooden
After having been in failing health for the past two years, Leslie Wooden, 82, of near Hall, died Sunday morning at 7 o’clock in the Robert Long Hospital in Indianapolis. He had been taken to the hospital only last Thursday when his condition became critical. A gardener by trade, Mr. Wooden was born Feb. 22, 1875, the son of Robert and Cordelia Wilhite Wooden. He had never married. He had spent his entire life in the Hall community except for 13 years in Arkansas a number of yean, ago, and was a member of the Hall Christian Church. Surviving him are two sisters. Mrs. Atta Charmless of Greencastle and Mrs. Maude Hazelwood of Clayton; two brothers, Guy Wooden of Clovertlale and Charles Wooden of near Hall; and several nieces and nephews. Funeral services were conducted by his pastor, the Rev. John Wallace, Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock in the Hall Christian Church. Burial was in the Hail Cemetery. TWO ARE KILLED COLFAX, Calif. UP Two persons were killed and 22 injured Monday night when a Greyhound bus collided with a butane truck on an icy highway just east of Nyack Lodge, Calif. The truck overturned and the highly inflammablt butane from its burst tanks settled over the area in a “semi-liquid state” creating a serious fire threat. Twelve ambulances and a fire truck were rushed to the scene, and the highway was closed to all traffic while the butane was cleared from the pavement.
Sound Advice
Never kill a fly with a shotgun, and never use drug* kft over from a serious fflnes* for self-treatment of a similar ailment. In the first case, you’ll blow your kitchen ceiling to amithereens along with the fly. In the second case —you get the point. You see, modem dMgs ara highly potent—that’s why we dispense them only when your physician prescribes. If you dose yourself with leftovers, you may do serious damage. It’s a good idea to pour the remains of old preKnpuons down the drain and destroy the bouioa.
