The number of employees on payrolls of nonagricultural industries in the East North Central States of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin rose in September to 14,311,600 from an August employment of 14,120,900. This is a monthly increase of 190,700, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics announced today. Thomas J. McArdle, Director of the Bureau’s Chicago office, said the September employment total is a new 1968 high for the Pope names new cardinals By RAY MOSELEY VATICAN CITY (UPI)—Pope Paul Vi’s Christmas observance held up work on his plans to name new Roman Catholic cardinals but he still plans to appoint them early in 1969, Vatican sources said today. The sources said the Pope will call a consistfljry to name the new cardinals Jn wie next few weeks and .one ot them will be Terence iT. Cooke, archbishop of New York. Vatican sources ^said the pontiff had planned _i«C5nnounce a date for the consistory and list the new cardinals before Christmas but his busy schedule over the holidays prevented it. The Pope finished a Christ, mas observance Wednesday with a plea for peace and harmony among mankind in his noon blessing before 200,000 persons jammed into St. Peter’s Square. The pontiff in his Urbi et Orbi (to the City and to the World) blessing told the crowd that the Christmas spirit conquers the mistrust in human beings that causes the conflict. The Pope’s Christmas activities began Christmas Eve. He flew to the southern Italian city of Taranto to become the first pope to celebrate Mass in a steel mill.

Significant employment gains were registered in manufacturing up 95,300 in the month and 109,700 in the year. The motor vehicle and equipment industry reported 80,600 more workers since August as model changeovers were completed and full production resumed. This industry showed an increase of 86,500 employees from September 1967 when employment was down due to widespread strikes among auto workers. Employment in the general industrial machinery industry declined 7,600 from August, the loss attributed to work stoppages at Timken Roller Bearing Company plants in Ohio. Retail trade establishments added 25,300 more workers in the month, while wholesale trade dropped 5,700. Service-pro-ducing industries, after a slight employment dipof 2,700 in August resumed its upward trend in September by the addition of 21,700 employees. Local government employment increased seasonally by 49,900 in the month as local schools reopened after the sumer vacation. Contract construction picked up 7,000 as workers returned to payrolls after settlement of labor-management disputes. Nonfarm payroll employment in the United States increased by 125,000 in September to 68.5 million, seasonally adjusted. The unemployment rate of 3.6 percent was virtually unchanged from the 3.5 percent of August.

Editorial

THE MAIN STREAM of American society, a term that is carelessly applied to the traditional flow of events which carry us along from day to day, seems to have become a polluted stream in the eyes of some members of this nation’s younger generation. Therein, some recent profound studies reveal, lies the explanation for much of the unrest, dissent and revolt of young people which have shocked so many hard-shell Ameri cans. The “main stream’’ of Americar life has long been recognized, particularly by the middle class, as “the flow of values and goals which have given direction and meaning to the American dream. ” “This is what we have worked for, what we have now and we like it,’’ is the viewpoint of smug American orthodoxy, approved by custom and convention. But, for younger generations, this is not enough. * * * RICHARD FLACKS, writing a short time ago in Psychology Today magazine, reports: “Our studies indicate that activism, as well as other expressions of youth disaffection, are symptoms of the declining power of those values and goals which traditionally have given direction and meaning to the lives of the American middle-class and direction to the American dream.’’ This would seem to indicate that the “traditional goals and values” found in the evolution of this democracy no longer are satisfactory to the American pace, and that they are declining as a power factor that makes for progress. Indeed, this seems to be the thinking and motivation that accompanies today’s phenomenon of youthful revolt. But, surely the so-called “Hippies” will have only a small role in the history of these events. The public has come to accept this cult as the “sad sacks,” the “ultra-frustrated,” and the “lost children” of a confusing era. And yet, their very existence must not be overlooked as an ex-

goals of progress. But this discussion is attempting to focus on the conspicuous catalyst of change that stems from university communities in the United States and around the world. Society at large expects college students to be centrally motivated around goals and values which they cannot accept. Pursuit of status goals to them means hypocrisy and sacrifice of personal integrity, it is pointed out in the Flacks report. It is interesting to note that, while youthful activists are trying to spark changes in what is called the American way of life, at the topmost pinnacle of decision the U.S. Supreme Court, in all the wisdom of old age, brings to fruition many of the changes which often are the subject of youthful dissent. So, what do we have here? Today’s American society takes on the spectrum of a colorful kaleidoscope, constantly changing its various hues and moods, while vigorously erupting volcanically on every social and political front. The “main stream” of our existence, in our viewpoint, is not polluted. But, indeed, it is undergoing change, especially in the goals and values that have for generations given our people direction. * * * THE CRY of our young people often impresses us as “voices in the wilderness.” That, no doubt, is because the world of confusion into which they have been bom, with none too steady hands to lead them, often seems to them like a wilderness. Purifying the main stream with dissent and demonstration appears as a part of today’s American scene. But, with destructive impulses, the cause fails.

Girl 10 abducted by vagabond minister DES MOINES, Iowa (UPI)— Police searched snow-covered interstate 80 today for a selfproclaimed vagabond minister and the 10-year-old girl he is charged with abducting from the Des Moines YMCA Christmas Eve. Despite freezing temperatures and heavy snow, authorities hoped to find a trail to blueeyed Pamela Powers and her abductor. A pair of orange slacks and bobby socks were found along the highway Christ, mas night. Des Moines police said the clothing was Identified by the girl’s father. A car that authorities believed was used in the abduction was found Wednesday in Davenport, Iowa, and impounded by police. Robert Anthony Williams, 24, who escaped from a state mental hospital in Fulton, Mo., was sought in the abduction. Williams, a Negro, was charged with child stealing in a warrant issued Christmas Eve. Part-Time Minister The warrant also listed Williams’ three aliases, one of them Rev. Anthony. Authorities said Williams was an itinerant organist who gave himself the title “reverend.’’Police also said Williams was a part-time minister at a Des Moines church. Police said the license number and description of the impounded car matched those of the auto witnesses said Williams drove away from the YMCA shortly after the abduction. Pamela, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Merlin Powers of Urbandale, a Des Moines suburb, was abducted from the YMCA lobby when she went to buy a candy bar. She was attending a wrestling match with her parents. Two YMCA employes said they saw Williams carrying something wrapped in a blanket from the building to a car. Locks Car Door The men said they tried to stop Williams, but he told them he was carrying a mannequin and did not have time to stop. Williams locked his car and refused to open the doors when the two men tried to investigate. Lt. Don Knox of the Des Moines police detective bureau said information received from Kansas City, Mo., police indicated Williams walked away from the Fulton Mental Hospital last July. Williams was described as 5-feet-7 to 5.feet-8 and weighing between 165 and 175 pounds. Knox said Williams appears younger than his 24 years and is a neat dresser. English Prevails ST. THOMAS.

JIM BISHOP: Reporter

It was night and we were walking up Michigan Boulevard The wind wrapped its muscles around the skyscrapers and squeezed the corners. We examined Chicago’s well-lighted windows and I fell to describing people I had known before I met her. Dead ahead, on the far side of the Chicago River, was the Wrigley Building; the Taj Mahal of Gum. Once I had spent a few days with Philip Wrigley and I had been impressed. He was an unusual man, enormously wealthy and unafraid of work. He was gifted with a keen sense of rendering unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s. The man was a soft talker with halfmoon bags under his eyes. His father, as I recalled, started life selling bolts of dry goods and giving away chewing gum with each sale. William Wrigley had a competitor named Adams, who also sold dry goods and gave free chicle with purchases. It was Wrigley who first divined that the merchants were more interested in the gum than the woolen bolts. He began to manufacture gum and sell it. Adams soon followed, and he made Chiclets famous. As a young man, Philip fell heir to the family fortune and its risks. By the time I met him he had more money than he could count. He owned the huge office building; he manufactured Spearmint and Doublemint and other gums. Catalina Island, off the coast of California, belonged to him. He also owned the Chicago Cubs, which could be a liability if you took a look at the hitless wonders on the roster. Wrigley Field was his. His friends said he owned a chicle ranch in Mexico where the front gate was sixty miles from the front porch. And yet, at times when I peeked into his office, he was on the phone, making notes with a pencil, murmuring, “Yes, Mr. Shapiro. I understand...You want four packs of Spearmint, two of Doublemint--I have the address. Will this afternoon be all right? Okay. Thanks.” He had controlled passion for double martinis. None of his vice presidents or executive officers could fight them, but Philip Wrigley could toss off two at lunch without missing an olive. One day he. asked the bartender—the restaurant occupied the ground floor of the Wrigley Building—how much gin he poured into a double. “One and a half,” the mixmaster said. “But you charge me for two,” Wrigley said. The bartender shrugged. “I’m not making anything extra out of it,” he said, “but no matter what

bar you go to, you ask for a double and you get one and a half.” Philip Wrigley regarded this as banditry. He bought the restaurant and ordered all hands to give the customers what they paid for. After that, double martinis were dispensed in big champagne glasses and sometimes Mr. Wrigley had to pick his way through the dead and dying on the way home. His finely honed sense of honesty had laid one reporter low—me. It was the first time I was ever poured uphill onto the Broadway Limited. On Sundays, Mr. Wrigley donned a linen duster and worked as a mechanic on his fleet of expensive cars. Whether they needed care or not, he enjoyed removing the heads, grinding the valves and tuning carburetors. An ancient car stopped in front of Wrigley’s private garage and a man said: “You fix flats, Mister?” Wrigley nodded. He was shown a front wheel that was sitting on its rim. Gravely, he went back inside, got a jack, lifted the car, removed the wheel, took out the inner tube, water-test-ed it, and found the leak. When he was finished, the driver said: “How much?” Mr. Wrigley said: “Fifty cents, ” and took it, with thanks. On another occasion, the captain of the Wrigley yacht told him that a propeller was damaged. “Good,” said the gum tycoon,” I always wanted to try on a diving rig.” He put it on, and went down a ladder with a hammer. He found a bent blade and began to straighten it. • A few days later, the captain said: “You know that old man in the marina who takes people out on the lake for a fifty-cent tour? He has a big sign over his boat: “See Philip Wrigley in a diving suit —fifty cents!” The gum king thought it over. "He’s enterprising,” he said, “and the man is poor. Tell you what I’ll do. I’ll put on the diving suit and go below. When you see that sightseeing boat, give three yanks on the line and I’ll come up and take a bow.” We passed the Wrigley Tower and Kelly bent her head to the wind. “I used to know a man up there.” I said. “I’ll tell you about him sometime.”.... Lebanese Oil Consumption Up BEIRUT, Lebanon iUPI) — Oil company lotteries offering motorists cash and cars for prizes have caused a steep rise in fuel consumption. An extra 10,000 tons is being imported after the lucky-number games and the summer tourist boom reduced oil reserves to a dangerous level.
