Du Pont Has Good
Year, Report Says
WILMINGTON, Del. (Spl.) —
Du Pant sales reached a new top
of $1,750 mfllibn last year accom-
panied by high employment, rec-
ord high operating investment and
research expenditures, plus a near-
record expansion of plants, the
company disclosed today In the
annual report to its 140,000 stock-
holders.
The sales total was nine per cent
over the previous record of $1,-
602 million set in 1952. The physi-
cal volume exceeded the 1952 rec-
ord, with increased sales of some
products such as nylon, “Dacron"
polyester fiber, and neoprene,
made possible by expanded manu-
facturing facilities. Earnings were
$4.94 per common share against
$4.70 a share in 1952.
Fourth quarter sales were lower
than those of the preceding quar-
ter and the fourth quarter of 1952
—due largely to reduced require-
ments of the textile industry—but
employment at the end of the year
totaled 91,624 as compared with
90,834 at the end of 1952.
_ President Crawford H. Greene-
walt reported that the company
spent $135 million to improve and
expand existing plants and labora-
tories and to build new ones last
year. He said subsequently .that
thus far in 1854 construction
spending has been at about the
same rate as it was in the same
period last year.
The 1953 expansion was almost
equal to the record program of
$135.5 million in 1951 and was
substantially higher than the $126
million spent in 1952.
Rhee Asks Guarantee
Against Korea Sellout
SEOUL (AP)—President Syng-
man Rhee has indicated South
Korqa will attend the Geneva
conference on Far East problems
but insists “we must have ironclad
assurances there will be no sellout
of Korea.”
He likewise makes no secret of
his views that the April meeting
“will achieve nothing.” And he
voiced a “final warning” that
South Korea "cannot wait for uni-
fication for endless months while
idle talk drags on.”
Council Rostrum
Is Given Approval
“What are you waiting for?”
That was City Commission’s
answer to Mayor Sid Caillavet's
request to build a City Commis-
sion rostrum in the commission
chambers.
The Mayor had pointed out the
rostrum could he erected for $130.
Commissioner E. M. Childers
sounded the commissiop’s ap-
proval:
“What are you waiting for? You
don’t need to ask us about ex
penditures of that nature?”
Harris County DA
Is Facing Indictment
HOUSTON (AP)—Dist. Atty.
W. H. Scott was indicted by the
Harris County grand Jury today
on a charge of “operating a dis-
orderly house.”
Also Indicted on the same
charge were Lorraine Ayres, 28,
and her brother, Curly Meyers, 25.
It was the second indictment on
a bawdy house charge against
Miss Ayres. She was convicted in
1951 for operating a house of ill
repute. Her attorney at that time
was Scott, then a private attorney.
Mutton Leg Makes
English Tradition
BANBURY, England WV-One
day in 1874 a stranger bought
leg of mutton in the South Bar
St. butcher shop. “Hang it up for
me ” he said, “until I come back.”
He never did come back. The
leg of mutton is still hanging there,
and that’s how traditions are bom
in Britain.
“It would be like parting with
my own leg to get rid of it," was
the fond comment recently made
by Edwin Walker, present owner
of the business. He started in the
shop as an apprentice many years
ago.
The leg, which weighed 13 1-2
pounds in its young muttonhood,
is shrunken and wizened now.
“It hangs well away from the
salable meat, of course,” says the
butchers wife. “But it isn’t at all
objectionable and it has never been
treated with a preservative.”
MANY WILL LOSE SIGHT
ST. LOUIS (AP)—It may hap-
pen through disease, accident or
simple neglect, but an estimated
27,000 Americans will lose their
sight this year. The estimate was
made by Dr. Frank M. Foote, ex-
ecutive director of the National
Society for the Prevention of
Blindness.
WILL DI8CUSS TAXES
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi-
dent Eisenhower announced today

post. Wilson said “I would rather
not talk about” any of the possible
choices, but added:
"It will be settled before the
week is over—not later than that."
Kyes, who attended the news
conference, was asked why he was
leaving the defense job, which he
took after resigning as a General

ferred to the Senate Armed Serv-
ices Committee. Early Senate
confirmation is expected.

Inmates Reuse Slug
On Jail's TV Set
SEATTLE (AP) — “Some of
those guys in there are crooks,”
Sheriff Harlan Callahan said to-
day of the prisoners in his jail
with a rueful wag of his head.
He reached the conclusion In an
experiment by which jail prison-
ers were allowed to have televi-
sion. They paid for it by inserting
slugs in a meter. The slugs were
okay; they are purchased for 25
cents each by the prisoners from
their own funds kept for them by
the sheriff.
What hurt Callahan was that
some of tha Inmates were using
the slugs over and over again. He
said they would lower a coin into
the meter and then, using wire
pulled from jail brooms, bring
i them up again for re-use.
The meters have been moved
outside the cells and now are fed
by turnkeys. The television stays
keeps the prisoners quiet and doc-
ile, Callahan reported.
A move is underway to see that
all school bus drivers and city
policemen are certified for first

Cross, said today.

perintendent, will notify all school
superintendents that first aid in-
structors are available for courses.
Capt. L. B. Hayden, assistant
chief of police, is working with
Bishop to certify policemen not
already qualified.
Both officials met with the first
aid advisory committee including
Claude Keeland, Jr., E u s t a c e
Roach and Marion Foreston, and
with Bishop yesterday .
