WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Federal Trade Commission will hold public hearings on the controversy over automobile warranties, it was learned today. The agency plans to release Monday a long-secret report on its warranty investigation. Sour, ces said hearings will be scheduled for January. The FTC action follows publication Nov. 2 of part of a report by auto industry critic Ralph Nader. According to Nader, the FTC staff study blamed the automakers for the problems car buyers find when they try to make dealers live up to warranties. The report said the main problem involved slow reim. bursement the automakers give to dealers. This leads to dealers either avoiding warranty work, or performing it with “poorer mechanics," the report said.

However, since the investigation was started, the automa. kers have cut back warranty terms, which were based on a specific period of time or a set number of miles. Some industry sources said the automakers felt the cost of the warranties was spiraling. According to the report, the average cost of a warranty for 1965 model Fords was $41, General Motors paid $43, and American $44

Close balance

By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Correspondent NEW YORK (UPI)— Pres-ident-elect Richard M. Nixon took his family out on the town Wednesday night—the theater, then a fashionably late supper at a Chi-Chi restaurant. Everybody seemed to have a rousing good time. Although he has been working hard since the election on setting up a White House staff and conferring frequently by telephone with key members of Congress, only of late has Nixon begun to show signs of unwinding after a rigorous political campaign. The theater-and-supper evening was one example. Another sign was his plan to leave chilly New York Friday for his favorite resort, Key Biscayne, Fla., where he will stay at least through the weekend. Nixon, his wife Pat, and their daughters Julie and Tricia, left their Fifth Avenue apartment shortly after 8 p.m. Wednesday and drove under police escort to Broadway’s Palace Theater for the flag-waving musical based on the life of George M. Cohan, “George M!’’ starring Joel Grey.

Services Held Last rites for Jesse A. Morgan, a former resident of Putnam County, were held Sunday at Bowling Green, Kentucky. He passed away last Friday at the Norman Beatty Hospital in Westville, Ind. Survivors include his wife Mrs. Amelia Morgan and several children.

WASHINGTON (UPI) - The balance between feed grain supply and demand this season will be closer than earlier estimates indicated. Agriculture Department officials said today they were not ready to make precise estimates. But a new department estimate of 1968 feed grain production Tuesday made it clear that any increase in the surplus this season will be relatively small. The Department’s Crop Reporting Board estimated production of corn and other feed grains at 171 million tons, the second biggest crop in history but 4 million tons below the record - high harvest forecast a month ago and 6 million tons below the September forecast. Domestic and export feed grain consumption for the current 1968-69 season is currently under study by department economic exports. One economist said the next forecast, due in about a week, probably will be slightly above last season’s total of 165 million tons. If the forecast should indicate consumption of, for example, 167 million tons compared with a crop of 171 million tons, the excess of 4 million tons would be added to the feed grain carryover surplus next October, bringing it then to a total of 51.9 million tons. Earlier, on the basis of 1968 production forecasts in September and October, it had appeared the carryover next fall might be increased by substantially more than 4 million tons.

Friends Came They were accompanied by Nixon’s good friend from Key Biscayne, C.G. Rebozo, and Mr. and Mrs. Hobart Lewis of New Y'ork. Lewis is president and editor of Readers Digest. They were later joined at the theater by DeWitt Wallace, founder and cochairman of the magazine.

Cohan, this one “I Want to Hear a Yankee Doodle Tune.” “There’s just nothing like coming to the theater and getting the feel of a performance,’’ Nixon told Grey. “You make us all feel young.’’ Ties up Traffic In the side street outside the theater police halted traffic again, leaving some frustrated motorists to leap from their cars and complain bitterly to uniformed officers. One man in a red Volkswagen maintained traffic should not be halted or controlled for any one particular citizen, regardless of his station. He lost his argument. Then the Nixon party drove to the famous restaurant, “21” on West 52nd street, where they went to an upstairs dining room and had supper. They remained at “21” for over an hour and, again under police escort, drove back to their apartment. Before leaving for Florida at 8 p.m. EST Friday Nixon planned to devote two days to continuing staff conferences in his apartment and in his new office suit on the 39th floor of the Pierre Hotel a block from where he lives. Staff appointments have been coming at the rate of about one a day and several more White House jobs probably will be announced before departure for Florida.

O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy endureth forever.- Psalm 107:1.

Sometimes we forget to be grateful and need to think of God’s goodness, for if we think we shall thank.

Attend conference

Mrs. Mary Llveoak, Vocational Education Chairman of District 20 which includes Parke, Putnam and Owen Counties, attended the Fall Conference for Vocational Administrators on November 7 & 8. at Gary Indiana.

Plans were formulated for the Vocational Conference at the Marott Hotel on November 21 when the Indiana \ ocational Association will host State Senators and Repre:»: atives. The principle speaket wi November 21 will be Congvessman Roman C. Pucinski of IllitldlU, the author of the 1968 Vocational Education Act. Mrs. Liveoak teaches Vocational Business at Cloverdale High School and is the teachercoordinator of the Intensive Office Laboratory.

The first postal card in the U.S. was issued May 1. 1873.

Because police cleared traffic so effectively on Fifth Avenue and Broadway, the Nixons reached the theater somewhat unfashionably early— ten minutes or more before curtain time. They waited in an office until it was time to take their seats and the performance began immediately.

After the show the party went back stage to congratulate Grey, Betty Ann Grove, Jerry Dodge and other members of the cast.

One of the producers, David Black, gave Nixon what he said was one of seven existant original recordings made by
