Ike's Resignation 'Undiluted Nonsense,' GOP Head Says
(Compiled from United Press)
Republican National Chairman Meade Alcorn said a statement by Paul M. Butler, Democratic National Chairman, that President Eisenhower will resign this year is "undiluted nonsense."
Mr. Butler said Monday night there appeared to be some basis for a forecast that the President will step down after the congressional elections to be succeeded by Vice-president Richard M. Nixon.
Mr. Alcorn called Butler's prediction "an odd and, in a sense, amusing political performance." He accused Butler of engaging in "ridiculous speculation." The White House declined comment.
In Washington, William A. McDonnell, president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said in a testimony prepared for the House Banking Committee, that an across the board personal income tax would help to stimulate the nation's economy.
Even more important than the tax slash, Mr. McDonnell said, would be a tax revision including repeal of "discriminatory excises and levies of a nuisance type, and improvements in depreciation policy" to encourage capital investments.
President Eisenhower and his chief cabinet advisers were reported today to be united in a belief that
Four Ahrens Scholarships in Engineering to graduating high school seniors have been announced by Spencer Martin, director of aids and awards. Each scholar will receive $250 for the 1958-59 school year.
High School Seniors Receive Awards
The four are Shane Spray, Paola; Larry Haas, LaCygne; James Lee, Louisburg, and Carl Sutherland, Prescott.
Henry D. Ahrens, Darwin W. Ahrens and Miss Della A. Ahrens, all of Paola, endowed the scholarships for graduates of public high schools in Miami County. This year Linn and Anderson counties were included in the competition. Selection is based on scholarship, leadership, character and need for assistance.
Usually two Ahrens scholars are appointed, but accumulated income permitted four awards this year.

In Lincoln, Neb., Charles Starkweather, 19, confessed killer of 11, is on trial for the slaying of Robert Jensen, 17, of Bennet, Neb. Starkweather Monday pleaded innocent to the charge by reason of insanity.

In La Paz. Bolivia, Vice-president Richard M. Nixon indicated he would be willing to run for president in 1960 if it appears that the time is right.
A NATO spokesman said afterwards that all the speakers backed up the stand taken Monday by the United States, Britain and France. Previously the small powers had wanted a summit talk.
"I have a theory that in the United States those who seek the Presidency seldom win it," Nixon said at a U.S. Embassy lunch in La Paz Monday, "This is one office in which circumstances rather than a man's ambition determine the result."

Sticklers!
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A BANK OFFICIAL IS DEPRIVED OF HIS LUCKIES?
BANK ROBBERS often try to get rich through no vault of their own. So often, in fact, that bank officials rarely get rattled by ordinary hold-ups. But sometimes the gangsters go too far. Sometimes (Curses!) they lift the officials' Luckies! That dastardly act is bound to cause real Banker Rancor! Why? Simple. Every Lucky (You can bank on this!) tastes like a million bucks. Every Lucky is made of fine tobacco . . . naturally light, good-tasting tobacco, toasted to taste even better. But don't accept our account—check it yourself. Get Luckies right now!
NING OUT! Better get your Sticklers in fast! (You haven't lived if you haven't Stickled!) Sticklers are simple riddles with two-word rhyming answers. Both words must have the same number of syllables. (Don't do drawings.) Send stacks of 'em with your name, address, college and class to Happy-Joe-Lucky, Box67A, Mt.Vernon, N.Y.
LIGHT UP A light SMOKE-LIGHT UP A LUCKY!
