4 For 3 Stock Split Announced COLUMBUS UPI — E. Tull, president of Cummings Engine Co. today announced a four for three stock split with dividend payments to remain at the present 60-cents per share on
the new shares.
The action was taken at the regular meeting of the board of directors of the diesel engine
manufacturer.
Tull said sales and earnings by the company was expected this year to exceed the $3.64 per share earnings of 1963 and the total sales of $194.3 million, both highest in company history. Earnings in the first quarter of this year were $3.7 million or equal to $1 dollar per share of stock currently outstanding, and more than double the earnings for the entire year of 1953 compared with 84-cents per •share earned in the first quar-
ter last year.
party line vote. The committee bill, basically the same as Johnson’s March 16 request, would establish three new job training and education programs for youths, finance local anti-poverty projects, set up a new corps of volunteers to help fight poverty, and provide new funds for small business and farm operators. The whole program would be tied together by a new federal agency headed by Peace Corps director Sargent Shriver. . The next hurdle for the bill was clearance by the House Rules Committee. Although no' insurmountable obstacles were expected to arise there, House leaders may have difficulty getting the bill to the floor for debate and action before the Republican National Convention in mid-July.

'IVar On Poverty' ■Bill Approved WASHINGTON UPI — The House Education and Labor Committee approved President l Johnson’s $962.5 million “war ©n poverty” bill. The legislation, topped only j by civil rights on the administration’s congressional “must” ! list, would promote a series of j federal, state and local pro-1 grams aimed at the causes of poverty. The committee approv- j ed the bill 19-12, on a straight ■
area.
Dirksen said that while the Johnson administration falters in indecision, the United States is a party to another treadmill conflict that parallels the experience of the Korean War.” Questioned about what should be done in South Viet Nam or Laos, Dirksen said it was not for the Republicans to outline policy. But, he said that if Johnson conferred with GOP leaders, “we will be frank and candid and tell him.” He gave his views after the weekly Republican congressional leadership meeting. Dirksen’s criticism came at a time State Department officials were considering further steps to take to halt spreading Communist gains in Laos. The only action taken so far have been U.S. reconnaissance flights over Laos and precautionary fleet movements. Officials, while silent on what
