GOP Breakthrough Threatens Joh WASHINGTON iff) - The rolling impact of a midstream Republican breakthrough offer«l a fresh threat today not only to President Johnson’s legislative program but possibly to his re-election in 1968. , While the GOP was surging to above-average House gdin's in Tuesday’s nonpresidential year balloting, it also was netting from the Democrats eight governor’s offices. This cemented Republican chief executives into political power bases in at least 25 states which will cast 290 elec-torial votes ,twO years from nW—20' in excess of the 270 needed to elect a president. As final ballot counts ^ stretched out the measuring' tape, it became apparent that Johnson and his Democratic administration had suffered a cripplii^, though not necessarily tasting, defeat in contests where the President had thought Democi-atsi might do very well. The fact that Republicans will control at least half of the governorships in the next two years doesn’t mean they will be able to maneuver their states into the GOP colijimn in the 1968 president|ial tontlest. Voters have a way of malting up their own mind.s about matters. But the mere fact that their party has broadened its base for attack on Johnson's expected reelection bid certainly will make the GOP nomination much more attractive to potential candidates than it ful years since Barry Gold-water’s crushing 1964 defeat by Johnson. Johnson’s loss of party , .strength in Congress was far greater than that sustained by any president tWo y^eairs into his first elective term since GOP President Herbert Hoover's party lost 61 seats in the 1930 off year election. The Republicans nailed down a gain of 47 seats in the House to bring their total to 187. Democrats elected 248 members. The loss of 47 compared with a net gain of 14 Democrats made after Franklin D.

(ifi—Georgia's gubernatorial election appears to be headed for the courts because neither Democrat Lester G.

Maddox had 437,258 votes. Callaway 435,489, and Arnall 54,939. 'Hiat gave Maddox 47.1 per cent, CallaWay 46.9 per cent, and Arnall 5.9 per cent. Maddox overtook Callaway last night as returns from rural areas trickled in. Maddox, a segregationist known for selling his restaurant rather than integrating it, had taken an early lead when polls closed Tuesday night, but a large urban vote early yesterday gave Callaway a 25,000 vote lead. Under the Georgia constitution, failure to get a majority throws the election into the General Assembly, which is heavily Democratic. The American Civil Liberties Union, however, filed suit in federal court yesterday, con- ’ tending the Legislature is illegally constituted. H ;■ . i " ■ r ■: , ed to reenter the burning house. Carol succeeded, only to be trapped herself not far from the rear door. The mother then ran from the rear of the corner home to a neighbor’s house, where she called firemen. A 12-man force of township volunteers manning two trucks responded to the alarm and quickly doused the flames. Aided by policemen, rescuers then fought their way through the choking smoke inside the home in search of the trapped children. Two were found on the living room floor, near where the fire started, and two more pulled from the bedroom-utility room at the rear of the house. The young twins were found lying next to each other in the bathroom, while Carol—the eldest — was on the floor at the rear. Cynthia, the surviving daughter, remained at the John De-vine home, from where her mother had called firemen. ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL Mrs. Polmateer, incoherent, was admitted to Botsford General and placed under sedation. “They were such beautiful kids,” said one of several neighbors who congregated at the dirt-road intersection after firemen had left. “Those kids could play together all day and wouldn’t have a fight among them — this thing just tears me up, ” she said. Polmateer is an industrial welder employed at Evans Products, Inc., Plymouth.

Cong Gas Grenades Used on Yank Patrol SAIGON, South Viet Nam lAP) — A U.S. 1st Infantry Division patrol was attacked with Viet Cong gas grenades today, a division spokesman said.

I ^ ★ Meanwhile, a befuddled — if not disgusted — Pontiac Board of Education was shaping a bus-ing-for-integration policy to submit with its seventh application for Head Start funds. A new “Project Head Start” term was scheduled to begin two months ago for the benefit of some 320 Pontiac youngsters. A 164,000 federal grtint was available to carry the program for the first two months. The school disb-ict, however, decided not to start the September-Head Start 4CTffi"^e^ae there was no assurance that more federal funds were forth- coming to continue the program through the school year. ★ ★ ★ Two factors that have contributed to the withholding of the added grant stemmed from the school system’s failure to meet national antipoverty requirements, according to the county commission. LACK OF INTEGRATION These included lack of integration in the winter phase of the Head Start program due to the persistent use of school attendance areas and failure of the school system to organize an advisory group consisting of parents of children in the program. “TTiey're playing games with US,” OEO Chairman Carl F. Ingraham toM fellow commissioners last night during a discussion of the Head Start issue. Ingraham noted that top ad-i ,i, i i/./ ministrators of the school system are well aware of the requirements that must be met to receive federal funds for the program. Ironically, while the antipoverty commission was hurling barbs at the school system, the board of education was agreeing to spend some $4,900 in order to set up an integrated Head State program involving busing of participants. EXECUTIVE SESSION Meeting in executive session, the board again reviewed the on-again-off-again history of its request for federal funds to back the $248,832 program.

NONLETHAL GAS American and South Vietnamese forces have in some cases used nonlethal tear gas against Communist troops.

Ground action in the area, however, continued to be light. The bloody battle in Tay Ninh Province of Zone C pushed the toll of American dead in the war last week to nearly double the number the week before, the weekly casualty report revealed German Party Picks Leader Needs Other Support to Be New Chancellor BONN, Germany lAP) — West Germany’s dominant Christian Democratic party today chose Kurt George Kiesing-er, minister-president of Baden-Wuerttemberg, as its candidate to succeed Chancellor Ludwig Erhard at the head of the federal government. On the third and final ballot, Kiesinger won 137 votes against 81 for Foreign Minister Gerhard .Schroeder, and 26 for Rainer Barzel, the party’s parliamentary leader. The decision was taken by the party’s membership in the Bundestag. The candidate must now see if he can win enough votes from other parties to get himself a majority. The Christian Democrats are four votes short of the necessary 249 in the Bundestag. There had been some doubt that Kiesinger, 62. could win the nomination because of his past links with the Nazis, especially in view of gains made in the State of Hesse last Sunday by a right-wing party, the National Democrats.

REASONS FOR VICTORY In Florida, GOP Gov.-elect Claude Kirk Jr.’s victory appeared based on Viet Nam war frustrations, racial disturbances and opposition to Johnson’s programs. In his own state of Texas Johnson’s prestige failed to halt the reelection of Republican Sen. Jtrtin G. Tower over Atty. Gen. Waggoner Carr, favored both by the President and his good friend, Gov.

Circuit Court Judge Arthur E. Moore has ordered a show cause hearing for 9 a.m. Monday. The suit alleges as illegal a proposal to return to Rochester any tax money collected from Rochester property owners by Avon Township to make pay^ ments on the system. it * -k (The township expects to levy an ad valorem tax on both village and township property in the early years of the bond issue but plans a rebate back to the village of tax monies collected there.

TTie township firm will receive no benefits from the interceptor but would still pay some $22,000 a year toward retirement of the bonds, while also paying its share of the cost of the village’s sewer system. The suit further claims that the proposed ad valorem tax is in excess of the 15-mill limitation set by the state constitution, and also questions whether Pontiac city officials and leaders of the Pontiac Police Officers Association (PPOA) were handed two weeks of homework yesterday by a state - appointed attorney presiding over a factfinding hearing between the two groups. Pending the resumption of talks Nov. 23, PPOA leaders pledged to maintain a normal full-time work schedule.

Weighing 232 pounds, and standing just under 6 feet, she is the founding member of the Big Girls Club, an organization that is campaigning to improve clothes for outsized women and girls. “Fat women want to look pretty, too,” said the blue-eyed mother of two children, “but we’re condemned to wearing drab colors and atrocious designs.” A gale of a sigh rippled over her 56-54-57 frame. ‘NO MINI-SKIRTS’ “God knows we don’t want to wear mini-skirts, but we would like to be just a bit fashionable.” A soft-voiced, gentle and happy woman, she added: “Getting the right size is not today’s main problem. There are lots of shops — but not too many — catering for the big woman. The nightmare is styling. You just can’t get young clothes in my size.” ★ ★ ★ Years of searching for pretty clothes have convinced her that the designers have only women middle-aged to older in mind when they make dresses for the biggies. “Psychologically, it’s so disheartening for us,” she said. “Most dresses seem to be mod-led by slim women with narrow hips. We have to go into the shops and ask, ‘Do you have this dress in six sizes larger?’ That’s bad.” ‘REAL CHORE’ She shook her blonde head and added: ‘Shopping is a real chore for the big girl. It’s not just dresses. It’s underwear, coats, night dresses, stockings. The stockings are always too short.” “It might be easier,” replied Mrs. Webb, “but it’s not what I want to do. I’m very happy with my size, thank you, and so is my husband. He says he wouldn’t have me any other way. “I was big when he married le, and, well, I certainly haven’t lost any weight, and I don’t intend to. My healdi’s all right, and we’re a happy family. Weight is not my problem. Clothes are the problem.” NEW GENERA'nON Last month Mrs. Webb decided to do something about clothes for the big girl. “I’ve thought about this situa-ti(Mi for a long while,” she said. ‘Then, just recently, I realized that my own daughter, Alison, is growing up, and that there’s a whole new generation with problem like mine. I decided to do something.” Alison, 9, weighs 140. Mrs. Webb’s son, Julian, is a big boy, about the usual weight for his e. My husband is tall and thin,” laughed the organizer of the Big Girls Club. “He eats more than any of us, but he never gets fat.” SEAFARING MAN Webb is a seafaring man, working on one of the big liners that come to and go from Southampton. “All of a sudden it came to me that no one is really doing anything about trying to get well-designed, pretty clothes for big girls,” explained Mrs. Webb. “That’s when I went into action.” She took the bus down to her local newspaper. ‘I’m a great believer in newspapers,” she said. “They can be of such help in so many matters.” BEAUTIFUL REPORTER An editor assigned a reporter to,interview her. “She was very young, very pretty, and very slim with a beautiful figure,” said Mrs. Webb. “When I saw h^r, my heart sank, for I thought my cause was jost before I started. But this was not the case. She put a little piece in the paper, and then things began happening.” Mrs. Webb began receiving telephone calls and letters. Soon her club had more than members in Britain. , Sale Ends Sat., Nov. 12-9 PM. M ONTGOMERY WARD Pona6rosa phirts Schenley... always in the center of things Naturally!

The GOP gained eight governors and the majority of them were in a key. pivotal commonwealth. Most of the large states today have Republican .governors. The Democrats lost three Senate seats, and a huge total of 47 spots in the House, although they still control both. ★ ★ ★ Gov. Romney ran away from his opponent in even greater style than was forecast. It leaves him as an important presidential possibility two years hence along with Reagan and Rockefeller, who were winners in top races. Sen. Robert Griffin entered this 1966 race with the odds seemingly stacked against him. But he never wavered. He battled from the gun. ★ ★ ★ Sen. Griffin waged an intelligent. gentlemanly and hard-hitting campaign that earned him a fine and immensely important victory — important to Michigan and the United States. Michigan is one of the biggest and most influential states in the union. We deserve top representation and this election gives us the first outstanding senator we have possessed since the late (Arthur Vandenberg. And our Governor is a star. Here in Michigan, the GOP gained an amazing 18 House seats. That body had been divided 73-37 Democratic, and now it stands 55-55 tie. The Democrats actually lost mathematical control of the Senate, where the GOP gained sharply. It stands 20-18, with a Republican majority. .41 home. Democrat Billie Farnum lost lo .lack McDonald by a sizable margii;i. In Justice to Farnum. it must be set down that he has done as much for this district as any Congressman in history. From listening to comments “around town” his defeat is attributable to the fact he rested securely in the palms of labor leaders’ hands, plus the fact he blindly voted for every measure that ever came out of the M^hite House. ★ ★ ★ A startling Republican sweep took place in Waterford Township where all five Democratic incumbents lost. The GOP victory gives the Republicans control of the Township Board for the first time In 10 years. ★ ★ ★ The GOP can assign its current victories to that great, unnamed class of middle voters. The rock-ribbed GOP workers who battled hard and the time-tried Democrats who did the same left the final decision to the silent, neutral segment that stands “in between.’’ ★ ★ ★ Thus in 1966, the "two parly system” becomes the “two party system” once more. This smashing victory by the side that was down — way down — comes at a crucial and critical time. It guarantees better candidates on both sides. It assures the Nation of a better balance and more equitable decisions in general. ★ ★ ★ Happily, there was little or no mud-slinging by either side. Glory be. Air Accord Thins United States-Russia Gap The long-awaited Soviet-Ameri-can agreement on direct air service between New York and Moscow was signed in Washington last week. It has been long in the making. A pact was drawn up ready for sig-niture in 1961 when the Berlin Wall crisis intervened. The fact that a new agreement was negotiated while war raged in Southeast Asia may show that Soviet-American relations are not so chilly as they seem. Soviet-American tourist traffic is virtually a one-way street. In 1965, only 779 Soviet citizens came to this country for business The ‘Little Guy’ Says: Ho Hum MARLOW By .JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON-The little guy felt like a dope today/He was all steamed up about the elections — the shouting, the speeches, the parades, the dire predictions, and all those characters on television. Tlien what happened? Not much. Well, maybe, it did mean something The Republicans made some progress. They picked up some seats in Congress and some governorships. But the little guy thought: If they keep on making this kind of progress much longer they won’t last much longer as a party. And when the returns were in. all that business about white backlash, inflation and the war in Viet Nam hadn’t seemed to mean much. The Democrats went into the elections In control of Congress with a majority in House and Senate. When it was over, they still had control. The Republicans just cut dowb the majority a bit. In an off-year congressional election like thi? one it’s just par for the course for the minority party to pick up some seats. : ★ * * The little guy didn’t have to be a professor to remember the Republicans have been a minority party, and the Democrats have been running Congress, ever since 1932, with two exceptions. 'What Are You, Some Kind Of Square Or Something?' David Lawrence Says: Vote System Leaves Questions or pleasure. By contrast, 14,980 .Americans last year indicated on passport applications that th^v intended to vi.sil the Soviet Union. Whether the tourist flow between the two countries will increase substantially now that the air-service pact is signed remains to be seen. The agreement should, however, improve slightly the balance-of-pay-ments position of both parties. ★ ★ ★ Soviet and American visitors will pay a national instead of a foreign airline for transportation, thus keeping rubles and dollars at home. There was a time, back in the 1920s. when Republicans and Democrats looked pretty much like twins. Th6y were both conservative. And when Franklin D. Roosevelt ran for the presidency in 1932, in the depression, he was even talking about cutting down government spending. What puzzled the little guy was why, in all of Roosevelt’s years, the Republicans didn’t learn anything from him. The little guy didn’t even think the Republicans learned anything from Dwight D. Eisenhower, the only Republican to win the presidency since 1932, He not only embraced the New Deal programs but expanded on them. And he put an end to the party’s isolationism. SNATCHED IT AWAY They gave Eisenhower a Republican-run Congress in 1952 but snatched it away again in 1954 — an off-year election — and while they were reelecting Eisenhower overwhelmingly in 1956, they put Congress in the hands of the Democrats They’ve had it ever since. ★ * ★ But then — and this really puzzled the little guy — just as if Eisenhower had never existed, in 1964 the Republicans picked as their presidential candidate the most conservative party leader in this tentury — Sen, Barry Goldwater. He got drowned in the election. The little guy thought the country needs two parties but he wondered: How long can a guy, or a party, keep on getting clobbered and still breathe? WASHINGTON - Presumably the will of the people wa.s expressed in Tuesday’s election. But was it? There are 100 members of the United States Senate, but only 35 of them were up lor election. The remaining 65 were elect- #' ed either 1964 or 1%2. , Can it truly '*1 be said that the American people feelg e X a c 11 y t same way day about the " senators who LAWRENCE were not up for election this time as they did two or four years ago'.’ Out of the 35 electoral contests for the Senate, the Republicans won 18 and the Democrats 17. Would t h e Republicans have captured control of the Senate if all seats had been voted on in the election this year? These unanswered questions are directly related to the defects in the American congressional system. The election of .senators is a far better index of national opinion then the election of members of the House. STATEWIDE RACES This is because the elections for the upper house are statewide. whereas members of the House of Representatives are chosen in 435 separate districts. and only a few are large-sized areas. Hence, local questions often predominate. It is difficult, for example, today to determine just what issues were nationwide in the campaign and how the American people reacted to them. All the preelection polls indicated a .shift from the Democratic party to the Republican party in many districts and states. But careful examination of the various factors that influenced the electorate leads to the conclusion that much of the voting in the congressional contests was against the party in power rather than in favor of the alternative party or its candidates. There is much talk about •‘comebacks’’ of Republicanism. But a more realistic explanation is that, whenever the party in power overreaches itself, the party on the outside gets the benefit of the resentment or protest vote. NO SYSTEM What the election really emphasizes, is that there is no , system of party responsibility Verbal Orchids Mrs. E. C. Rockefeller of Milford; 82nd birthday. Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Harmes of 1038 LaSalle: 63rd wedding anniversary. Glcnti Walton of 2115 Snellbrook; JSrd Birlhday. in the United States and that off - year elections can be meaningless except as a device that allows the protest vote to be expressed. Sooner or later senators and congressmen and the president will all Ijiave to be voted for on the same election day every four years. Also an opportunity will have to be afforded the people to obtain an election anytime within that four-year interval. A special election could be held whenever the incumbent party's majority on a major issue was taken away by a coalition of those members who felt that the country wished them to voice their oppositionjtf-This is the formula used in Canada, Great Britain and other countries. Only by such a system can each party be held responsible as a unit and self-discipline imposed so that legislation will be enacted or repealed in accordance with the will of the people. ICopyridlil, 19M, Publishers Newspaper Bob Considine Says: LBJ Confesses to Often Thinking of Resigning NEW YORK - People . . . places . . . politics . . , A visitor to the White House asked the President, ‘Do you ever dream of J a n. 19, 1973, or whatever the date is, when you’ll be able to put on your hat and say good-by to t h i s J job'?’’ LB,J ran hand across CONSIDINE his face, thought it over and said, “No. I keep going from day to day, taking things as they come. Of course, as everybody knows, a president — any president — thinks of resigning two or three times a day ... A president has damned few friends.” President Kennedy’s post-White House plans (He would have been only 51 at the end of two full terms) were never clearly defined. But the likelihood was that he would have considered writing occasional articles on national and international affairs, a lecturing role at Harvard, and possibly in time a return to the U.S. Senate. Steve Early, President Roosevelt’s press secretary, told me after FDR’s death that the president would have wanted to serve a term as president of the U.N, General Assembly, after leaving the White House. A Republican candidate running for the state legislature from an upstate New York district frankly owned up to being a machine candidate. John Buckley, a Utica lawyer, sought his seat with the aid of an automatic answering and recording device called Code-a-p^ohe. Before leaving h i s office each morning to harvest po: tential constituents, Buckley recorded his day’s itinerary on the machine. Voters telephoning his empty office were automatically informed as to his exact whereabouts. They could also ask questions of the Code-a-phone, pr make complaints, suggestions and the like. Their voices w^e recorded and played Wck by Buckley at the end J a hard day at the hustings. “The Democrats called me some pretty • awful things, on the Code-a-phone,” he revealed after one session with his machine. He promised that, if elected, he’d take the Code-a-phone with him to Albany and put it on 24-hour duty as a ‘‘hot line” between the people and himself, when himself was somewhere else. Sample Ballot in Press Appreciated by Voters You certainly are to be congratulated on having printed the double page sample of the voting ballot. It was particularly helpful in making the voting easier and dearer. This is a great public service and we have received many comments from our customers. This idea surely continues to enhance the image of The Pontiac Press. JAMES ROSENTHAL 48 NORTH SAGINAW Just a note to express appreciation for the ballot in Monday’s Press, It was very helpful ant time-saving as one could have candidates located on the ballot before going lo vote.

EARL CLARKE 1017 ARGYLE ‘Road Clearing Crews Neglect Side Roads' Why does it take three days or more to have side roads plowed? Why do shoulders on main roads have to be gone over two or three times while side roads remain icy ruts? Why do road workmen park and spend time gabbing on main roads while side roads are not plowed? OUT OF ANSWERS Doesn't Agree Kennedy Rally Was ‘(^haotie' I was surprised at the lifelong Democrat describing the Kennedy rally as chaos. I stood right next to the Farnum girls and very close to the platform and was most pleasantly surprised at the orderliness of such a large crowd. There was little shoving near me, and no rudeness. Some children did cry and a few were temporarily “lost.” but that’s to be expected in any huge gathering. Much a^s I dislike admitting Democrats do anything right, I thought it was handled very well. LIFELONG REPUBLICAN ‘Despite (irievanees, No Excuse for TJes' When General Motors hires plant protection men at a starting wage higher than a city police officer's top wage, our police officers are not being treated right. When police officers are prohibited from striking by law because of public necessity, there is a duty on the public to meet their just needs without waiting for officers to resort to pressure tactics. For officers to violate the law against striking may be forgiven as the act of desperate men, but for officers to call in a lie to their superiors is not cute but outright dishonesty. This points to a moral sickness which money alone cannot cure. T. BOICE PURDY 205 LINDEN Smiles Radio fans believe one word is worth 10,000 pictures of the kind you see on television these days.

Graft Crippling Viet War Effort By RAY CROMLEY CAN THO, Viet Nam (NBA) — The former province chief was an earnest young aripy colonel, “When I went to my province up north of here, t h e deputy province chief for finance offered me 600,-000 piasters ($5,100) and said that this_______________ money was CROMLEY not recorded in the books. He said 1 could use the funds to set up my own spy system or for any purpose I desired. “He said there would be another 100,000 piasters ($850) a month which would not have to be accounted for. He said he would put them at my disposal. He said he would manag;e the paperwork in reporting to Saigon. “He said this was extra money that Saigon did not know about. “I reported him and had him demoted to a simple clerk in a tribal area in the highlands. “I then called in the province deputies, the district chiefs and the merchants and told them what I had done. “I told them I knew there had been corruption in the past and that they had taken part in it. I would forget the past, I said, but there would be no more payoffs and no more acceptance of payoffs. “I said I would remove any official who took payoffs and take away the license of any merchant who attempted to bribe any official. “I emphasized what I had done to my own deputy. “Where did the 600,000 piasters come from? That’s easy. Saigon sends cement, steel and other things. The , province chief can fix the prices. Suppose something should cost 90 piasters. He can fix the price at 110. He will take 10 and the merchant take to. There are many ways to work these things. “But after setting this example, I had no further trouble. People didn’t have to pay off officials to get business done as they did formerly. “The graft shut off just like that. , “But then I left that province and was assigned to another place. Shortly after I left the old deputy province chief for finance — the one who had taken bribes and attempted to bribe me — was shifted back to the province into his old job. “The province is now back in its old ways. The bribery and the payoffs are back.” Some U.S. officials say privately that graft is a major barrier to establishing confidence and winning the war in Viet Nam. 'They claim widespread graft is impossible to eradicate at this time. The example of this young province chief shows graft and payoffs can be sharply cut if there is backitrg from al»Ye.

These have an electoral total of 290, more than enough to elect a president. And among the 25 are five of the nation’s most populous: California, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan. By winning big in Michigan, Gov. George Romney moved into the first rank in the nomination sweepstakes. And by taking California from veteran Democratic Gov. Edmund G, Brown, newcomer Ronald Reagan all at once became a man to reckon with in party circles. GREATER VOICE Two other winning Republican governors, Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York and James A. Rhodes of Ohio, also are likely to have a greater voice at the GOP convention in 1968. Rockefeller has ruled himself out of another try at the presidential nomination, but political observers are wondering if he isn’t open to persuasion in the wake of his big comeback victory. mi CVtB West Coast Banker Esteemed in the East By JWIN CUNNIFF AP Business New.i Analyst NEW YORK (AP) - Whenever he visits the East Coast, where bankers are big and their ideas are powerful, Rudolph Pe-j terson is an honiffed guest.

(AP) — Technicians checked and rechecked a new automatic pilot in the astronauts’ Titan 2 rocket today, hoping that no new problem would crop up to force a third delay of the Gemini 12 flight. Meanwhile, Navy Capt. James A. Lovell Jr. and Air Force Maj. Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. continued to practice key phases of their four-day flight in a spacecraft simufotor and to bone up on their complex flight plan. .,____ _ unofficial. otherwise noted, rat foregoing dividends foliowing foo^not e—Also extra -ata plur the last quarterly .iB.atlon, Special or payments not desig-ira Identified in the ____ .___ stock dividend, c—Liquidating dividend, d—Declared or paid in 1945 plus stock dividend, e—Declared or paid so far this year, f—Payable in stock during 1945, estimated cash value on ex-dlvi-dend or ex-distrlbuticn date, g—Paid last year, h—Declared or paid after stock dividend or split up. k—Declared or paid this ;ear, an accumulative issue with dividends In arrears, n—New Issue, p—Paid (his year, dividend omitted, deterred or 10 action taken at last dividend meeting, r—Declared or paid in 1946 plus stock dividend, t—Paid In stock during estimated cash value on ex-divideno distribution date, z—Sales In full. cld—Celled, x—Ex dividend, y—Ex.^— end end sales In full, x-ols—Ex distrlbu-,.on. xr—Ex rights, xw—Without " rants, ww—With warrants, wd—Wha.. — ■ Ibuted. wi—When Issued, nd—Next day v|—In' bankruptcy or recelversh^ . being reorganized under the Bankruptcy — securities assumed by such--------- tn—Foreign Issue sub|ect ' Barry Prevented Statewide GOP Blitz in '64—Elly DETROIT (UPI) - The Republican party’s statewide election blitz could have been achieved two years ago were it not for Barry Goldwater.

Gemini 12 is to set sail at 3:46 p.m. Lovell and Aldrin were frustrated on two earlier launching dates — Wednesday and today by troubles with the autopilot system which is needed to steer the Titan 2 on a true course during the vital six minutes the rocket operates. AUTOMATIC OPERA'nON The problems were associated with a secondary system which would operate automatically if the primary autopilot failed. The initial difficulty involved a power supply to the system. The autopilot was replaced and checkouts were progressing smoothly Wednesday when the new package encountered trouble. Sipals indicated that one of its three gyroscopes was not spinning properly. ★ ★ ★ So a third autopilot was pressed into service. Initial reports were that it was function-ig normally. Lovell, 38, and Aldrin, 36, took the second postponement in stride. “We’re willing to wait for a _ood launch vehicle properly checked out,” command pilcit Lovell said. “We’ll be just ready on Friday as we were on Wednesday.” .22.0 22.4 North Central Arrlines’units 5.5 6.1 Satran Printing ...............12.2 12.4 Scripto ...:.................... 6.3 4.7 Wyandotte Chemical , .24.4 25 2 MUTUAL FUNDS Affiliated Fund ............. 7.82 “8.44 Chemical Fund . .............15.50 14.94 Commonwealth Stock .......... 8.99 9J3 Keystone Income K-I ......... $.48 »J8 Keystone Groivth K-2 .........5.98 4 " Mass.

When dealing with blue-collar people, serious consideration and great delay were banking traditions. The largest banks on the East Coast generally have had a different tradition. Even some most readily identified with consumer rather than business lending began with big money and worked down to the small change. Having proved a point, what does the Bank of America look for in the immediate economic future? Peterson was asked this as be relaxed at a desert resort where he met with Japanese businessmen to discuss transpacific trade? “There is no reason not to expect, in absolute terms, i consistent economic growth,’ he replied. “The economy is irtoving up steadily and it should continue.” 'SOFT SPOTS’ Peterson concedes there will be soft spots. “A bit in textiles, in housing of course, and to some extent in the automotive industry,” he said. But, he continued, the economy will remain strong. The worst blight at the moment is indecision and uncertainty, he said. We are uncertain about the course of the war; we have many labor contracts coming up for renewal; we still have not decided for or against a tax man’s indecision about cimunit-ting funds while uncertain about the economy. But it may not be all tiiat bleak. ‘When you sit down with the businessman, however, you get the feeling next year will be a good year,” he said. “There will be some resti-aint about spending, but spending for imiMDve-ment can be remedial, too, in lowering casts.” BULUSH NEWS The end of the war in Viet Nam would be bullish, he feels. “We might have some pockets of temporary recession and unemployment, but it will be minimal.” 'The reason, as Peterson states it, is that the nation has so much work on the back bur- “We have so much in reserve —urban development, transportation, space and research projects, air and water pollution. We have the talent to tackle these.” Even housing, which for years has been in the doldrums and this year is critically at a low ebb, can be pushed over to the plus side, Peterson said. ★ ★ ★ We have the inevitable family formations coming up. This is a plus in the next 5 to 10 years.” In summary: Some soft spots, some dangers, more restraint than this year—but essentially a strong, growing economy in 1967. As Peterson views it, the erratic course of prices in this year’s stock market reflect this uncertainty. Uncertain stockholders reflect the business- News in Brief Waterford Township police are investigating a burglary at Rael’s Drive In Restaurant, 6225 M59, Tuesday in which $60 was taken after entry was gained through a rest room window.

Microscope Eases Neurosurgery Risks By Science Service LOS ANGELES - Certain kinds of neurosprgery risks have been substantially reduced by employing new operative procedures with a surgical microscope. Operating under the microscope, neurosurgeons are now able to spare tiny blood vessels serving the brain and to preserve various nerves in the operative site, said Drs. Robert W. Rand of the University of California, Los Angeles, Medical School and Theodore Kurze of the University of Southern California School of Medicine. Formerly, in removal of tumors of the hearing nerve, the chances of damaging the facial nerve and causing facial palsy Was about 90 per cent. With the use of microsurgical procedures this risk has been reduced to about 10 per cent with small tumors. Aid Increased in Flood Zone ROME (AP) — Spurred by criticism and appeals, the Italian nation steppe up emergency efforts today to help the country’s flood zones.

SPEAR Q) “All our money is in long . term Treasury bonds which yield us 4% per cent at the price we paid for them. What do yon think of this setup?” J. G. A) The way the stock market has acted this year, you’re very fortunate people and I gratulate you. Treasury bonds are the safest securities in the world; when you hold them you have a good income and aW lute peace of mind. Since their income is fixed, the one thing they will not protect you against is inflation, which can make your dollar worth less in purchasing power in the years ahead. I think it is fine to own Treasury bonds but if the return from them will represent your entire income Mdien you retire, I would hedge little against inflation by switching part of them into a few good stocks. Such shares as American Telephone, Texaco, and General Foods can appreciate in value, over a period of tlniM, to suffidentty offset con-tinued dollar devaluation. Q) “I am 60 years of age and vdthont dependents. My monthly income is $700. In addition I have $10,000 in a savings account; $15,000 drawing interest with a life insnrance company, also $10,000 in a checking account ttot shonld be invested. I know nothing about investing. Would you advise tax-exempt Ixmds?” F. L. A) You seem to be in a very comfortable position. For a person like yourself — without any knowledge of securities and in a relatively high income tax bracket — I believe ^ax-exempts are a very sound investment I’m guessing that you are close to the 28 per cent tax bracket, in which case your taxahlB equivalent yield on many municipals is considerably more than you can expect from conservative common stodEs. I suggest that you buy $5,000 Qty of New York 4%s due 1961 sdling to yield 4.55 per cent and $5,000 Omaha, Nebradca Pdbilic Power Dist m of 1982, offered on a four per cent bads. (Copyright, 1900)
