Barbara Payton
Saved By
Doctors Action

NEW YORK R - The New York
Journal American said today that
Actress Barbara Payton swallowed
sleeping pills after quarrel with
her husband, Actor Fanchet Tone,
a few days ago and was saved
by quick action of physician.
The newspaper said the blonde
swallowed the pills lin a fit Of
Illustration and dependency" in a
West Side hotel.
The story came to light almost
simultaneously with a report from
Los Angeles that Tone has re-
vived his divorce suit against the
actress.
The story. by ChOlly knicker-
booker, said Miss Payton and Tone
had been together here in a recon-
Citation attempt that almost
ended in a tragedy"
It said they got into another of
their drag out fights" in fash
ionable, unidentified hosiery.
Barbara suddenly tore the
phone from the wall and swung it
at Tones head" the story said.
"Tone. who evidently has learned
thing or two since he took a
beating at the hands of Actor Tom
Neal over Barbara'S affections,
ducked."
1t said Miss Payton then swal-
lowed the pills and that Tone, in
alarm, called for a doctor.
while the physician was on his
way, Barbara was kept from going
into eternal slumber by being
forced to gulp steaming black cof-
fee," the story said.
1.-THE physician arrived and Bar.
bara was saved"
The newspaper said that after
the 25-year.old actress recovered
sufficiently she flew to Hollywood,
probably to tell the whole sad
story to Neal, 80. Franchot, as,
remained behind because of tele-
vision commitments"

Where DO We Go From Here?

| Another relief is going to be an
end to the day after day bounding
about the corruption and communists
in government. 1t is probably too
much to expect a long silence from
Joe Mccarthy, but he will at least
have to find another house to haunt.
The Republicans promised the alb
sence of both. Again they have my
best wishes for success.
Certainly there is no room for
quibbling about the fact that the
Republicans have clear sailing for a
while. They have some producing"
to do to be sure, but they asked for
it, and it is doubtful that anyone
would stand in their way toward real
ization of their campaign promises,

who might view bit skeptically the
results of the change can perhaps be-
pardoned for being partisan.

BIG OIL FIRMS ARE
DOING A. RIGHT

CHICAGO (CNS) - Major oil
companies are still far from broke.
Standard Oil of New Jersey, big
gest of them all, had net earnings af-
ter taxes of 1891 million for the first
nine months of 1862. That's $6.45
a share-not far below the $685. a
share earned in the same period last
year.
Phillips Petroleum Co. earned 1882
million for the nine-month period,
compared with $49.7 million the year
before. Socony-Vacuum hit a new
high in profits with $121 million for
the nine months, compared with $119
million in 1851. Gulf also a record
1918 million in net earnings com
pared with 1886 in 1851.
From 1910 to 1851, the Federal
Trade Commission reports, petroleum
companies as an industrial group in
creased their profit rates from 90 to
15.19o. Few groups of industrial COM
panies did any better than this, and
most of them not as well.

This little survey thus outlines the

1t has been many years since
America has had a chance to witness
campaign of the calibre and mag
nificence that was carried on by the
Democratic Standard bearer, Adlai
Stevenson. He won many battles. but
he couldn't win the war. Nonetheless
he grew daily in stature, and those
of us who came to listen and thrill
to his speeches, feel new unity in
something greater than the debacle
often resulting from defeat. The call
to leadership that raised this man to
his present heights must not be al
lowed to fade into the shadows of
political oblivion. A sensitive man.
with deep and sincere emotions, it is
hardly to be expected he will prof.
ect himself further on the national
scene without encouragement. l hope
he will be convinced of his value and
the unquestionable need for lead

Co-operatives have long known
that patronage refunds benefited the
general business community in the
areas that they served.
This benefit to mainstreet, how,
ever, has had little in the way of con-
crete supporting evidence.
Cooperative Activities of Billings,
Montana, had a study prepared of
the influence patronage re un d
checks had on a single trade area.
Records of four Yellowstone county
co-operatives during fiscal years end
ing in 1850 and 1851 were examined
in preparing this condensed sum-
mary of the study.
Three of the co-operatives were
farm supply firms engaged prin-
cipally in the distribution of petrol
cum products. The fourth co-opera-
tive was engaged in grain marketing.
The management and office staffs of
the Farmers Union Oil Companies of
Billings, Broadview and Worden as
well as the staff of the Farmers I'm
ion Grain Terminal Association Ele-
vator of Billings participated in pre-
pairing this report by making the in
formation desired readily available.
The second endorsement of can
celled refund checks issued by these
four co-operatives enabled classifi-
cation of them by firms, communities
and counties in Montana Checks

in the case of Canada, provinces.
