The twin sons of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Shillings and the grandchildren of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Shillings of this community —Bishop little. He couldn’t do it. At night he worked the trial transcript over and got help filing a brief. The higher court gave him a reversal and Sam got drunk. The big lawyers began to refer to Sam as the bulldog. At the third trial, Freddie Grimes was found guilty and remained guilty. Everybody said that Sam had kept the bum alive two years beyond his time. The State was paying the lawyer off in unshelled pistachios, but he continued the fight. The legal beagle kept barking and wagging his tail, which is a contradiction in terms. His heart sank every time he went to the death house to talk to Freddie. The prisoner groveled. He went on hunger strikes. He tried to cut his wrists on his bedsprings. He prayed to Tess in heaven to intercede for him. “Anything but death!” he used to moan in his sleep. “Anything but that.” Sam exhausted the courts. He went to the governor, an elderly man who sat, hardly listening, with his gubernatorial counsel. Then Sam packed his brief case and took his melting face home. A week later, he was in Dinny’s. “Drinks for everybody,” he said. The bartender asked no questions. That afternoon, the warden had approached Freddie and told him that tne governor had commuted hsi sentence to life. Freddie held the bars, then sagged to the floor, dead. “I feel better,” Sam murmured. “It proves he really had a heart.”... —Cliches to continue an engagement once he has begun it, as if the engagement were his own piece of property. The notion is readily exposed as false when examined in the patient-physician relationship. A job is but an exchange affair, having existence onlyduring the life of the exchange. It ceases to exist the moment either party quits or the contract ends. The right to a job that has been quit is no more valid than the right to a job that has never been held. The inconvenience to individuals and the dangers to the economy, inherent in strikes, should not be blamed on the bungling or ignorance or evil of the men who manipulate them. Rather, the censure should be directed at the false idea that there is a moral right to strike. Leonard E. Read

Can economy sustain business output, employment records
Daley brags ’No one was killed,’ to viewers
Can the nation’s economy continue much longer to sustain business activity that is setting new records for both employment and output? Some doubts arise, according to forecasts for the rest of this year and the year ahead, according to the Greencastle Federal Savings and Loan Association in its September quarterly newsletter, Business and Real Estate Trends. Dollar measures of economic performance such as personal income and gross national product have been showing even greater gains than employment and output, owing to the continued rise in prices and wages, according to the quarterly. But nevertheless, sbme signs of a slowing down began to appear during the second quarter. “For example,” the newsletter points out, “the number of new housing starts has been declining since April. Also, business inventories have been accumulating at a more rapid rate than justified by sales increases. “The tax increase, however, seems to have been the most important factor in taking some
of the steam out of an overly heated situation.” Much of the gain in industrial production during the second quarter came in steel, with users stepping up their orders in anticipation of a steel strike, according to the quarterly. “Now that a strike has beer averted by the new wage agreements,” it adds, “some cutback in steel production is anticipated as inventories are reduced. Price increases also may affect production by discouraging exports and encouraging imports.” Meanwhile, consumers have behaved in an orderly manner wtih no panic buying in anticipation of higher prices or possible shortages. And families have continued to save despite rising prices. “In fact,” Business and Real Estate Trends continues, “the strong inflow of funds into financial institutions in recent weeks has been a major factor in bringing mortgage markets into a better balance and thereby avoiding a major disaster in house building.” Even so, tight money market conditions during the spring and
On the farm front
By BERNARD BRENNER UPI Farm Editor
WASHINGTON (UPI)—A new forecast of record - breaking grain production this year indicates government farm officials will face another major and costly effort to reduce grain surpluses in 1969. Acreage of major U.S. crops is down 4 per cent this year, partly because of government surplus-control programs. But the Agriculture Department’s monthly crop report, issued Monday on the basis of Sept. 1 conditions, said production of feed grains was estimated at a record 177.1 million tons, up 2 per cent from August and 1 per cent above last year’s record. The feed grain forecast ineluded a predicted corn crop of 4.6 billion bushels, up 2 per cent from last month and only 2 per cent below a year ago. New Support Program Shortly before the forecast was issued, Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman announced the first details of next year’s program for feed grain price supports and production controls. Freeman said growers who want 1969 price supports for corn, grain, sorghum and barley will be required to idle at least 20 per cent of their farm “base” acreage of those crops, the same diversion required this year. And, Freeman added, it is possible the required diversion may be set finally as high as 25 per cent. The crop report Monday said wheat prospects declined 1 per cent from a month earlier, but production still was estimated at an all-time high. At 1.6 billion bushels, the crop was 5 per cent above a year ago. The wheat crop, like feed grains, is big enough to add to surpluses this year despite government attempts to hold output below demand. This puts added pressure on farm offici-
cials to induce farmers to make deeper production cuts in 1969 to avoid a pileup of price-depress-ing surplsses. Record Soybean Crop The big wheat and feed grain crops, backed by record-break-ing production of soybeans, pushed the Agriculture Department’s Sept. 1 index of total crop volume to 22 per cent above the 1957-59 average, a new all-time record. The index was 4 per cent above last year’s record. Most of the gain over last year came because of improved growing conditions and better per-acre yields. An index of per-acre yield for 28 major crops on Sept. 1 was at an alltime high, 30 per cent above 1957-59 and 5 per cent ahead of last year. The crop report estimated soybean production at a record 1.1 billion bushels, a level which experts had predicted would lead to an increase in carryover stocks at the end of the current marketing year. The report said August milk and egg production were below a year earlier. But pasture conditions were the best on record for Sept. 1 since 1961.

early summer effectively stopped the recovery in house building. Now starts dropped from an annual rate of more than 1.5 million units to 1.3 million. Nevertheless, the quarterly continues, “estimates of basic demand, based on family formation and other demographic factors, suggest the need for two million or more new units per year. Thus a reversal or the recent decline may be counted upon as mortgage markets continue to improve.” The newsletter hails the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 as marking a substantial expansion in activities of the federal government in the housing field. But it adds: Significant as field. But it adds; Significant as the new housing legislation may be, it is not likely to have much impact during the current building season. Many features of the new law cannot be implemented until funds are appropriated. In addition, substantial lead time is required to complete necessary plans for specific housing developments and to translate them into action. “For the short run, the greater availability of mortgage funds will be the most powerful force for expansion of residential construction.” Fight Tooth Decay SAN FRANCISCO <UPI> — Studies are being conducted across the nation in an attempt to solve the age old problem of tooth decay. Dr. Henry O. Trowbridge, associate professor of Oral Biology at the University of California said one experiment involves the use of phosphates, which are known to reduce cavities.
By SHERRY CONOHAN CHICAGO (UPI)—“No one was killed. Few spent even a night in the hospital.” The voice from the television screen Sunday night in a program prepared for the city of Chicago was speaking of the disorders during the Democratic National Convention. It seemed to be echoing the words spoken a week ago by Mayor Richard Will have hot dog battle WASHINGTON (UPI) — A simmering battle over what goes into frankfurters will come to a boil here sometime in November. Some poultry industry groups want the Agriculture Department to grant permission for use of the name “frankfurter” on products containing up to 25 per cent poultry meat. Cattlemen, opposing the idea, want the traditional frankfurter name used—as it is now—only for products made from red meats. Agriculture Department officials, after months of study, have decided to schedule an open public hearing to let everyone interested in the issue put his views on public record before making any final deci. sion. No specific date has beer fixed for the hearing yet, at official said, but it will be sorm time in November. The issue is not whether processors subject to federal inspection can legally include chicken meat in a product which looks like an ordinary hot dog. There is no barrier at present to production of “chicken weiners” as long as the name used on the product label indicates the contents of the product.
J. Daley at a news conference. “I think all you newsmen missed the point,” Daley said then in discussing the city’s report on the clashes between police and antiwar demonstrators. “There were no lives lost in Chicago.” The television program and a separate radio broadcast, both hour-long “documentaries” entitled “What Trees do they Plant?” gave C h i c a g o’s evidence that police acted with restraint and only after severe provocation in controlling the youthful protesters. They were aired by 130 television stations, including the British Broadcasting Co. in London, and more than 1,000 radio stations. Claims Reporting Distorted Daley had charged the media especially television—with “distorted” reporting of the events surrounding the convention. He asked the three major broadcast networks—the Columbia Broadcasting System, the National Broadcasting Co. and the American Broadcasting Co.—for
an hour in “prime time” to give his case. The networks refused, and Daley had the film and radio shows made and shown over stations not associated with the networks. In the telecast, the demonstrators were shown chanting “Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh,” and throwing things, including a can of liquid, at police. The radio program said police were pelted with many objects including cans of urine and bags of human excrement. A large array of weapons, including broken lied slats and! poles with spikes on the end, which police said were confiscated from the demonstrators, was shown. In the radio broadcast, Daley said that, “in the heat of emotion and riot some policemen may have overreacted, but to judge the entire police department by the alleged action of a few would be just as unfair as to judge our entire younger generation by the actions of the mob.”
