Federation Denies
Backing Candidates

COLUMBUS-The Ohio Farm
Bureau Federation today denied
reports that it was backing any
candidate for public office.
In a statement released today,
Everett F. Rittenour, Piketon,
president of the Federation, said:
THE Ohio Farm Bureau Fedora
ton never has nor does it plan to
endorse any candidate or political
party. 1t always has been a BIZ
partisan organization interested
only in issues and plans to remain
that way"
Referring to recent reports that
the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation
is helping organize an nOhio
Farmers for Stevenson" group,
Rittenour remarked Reports have
circulated recently that the Ohio
Farm Bureau Federation is par
ticipating in a movement in behalf
of Governor Stevensons candi-
dacy. These statements ere not
true.
There has been some confusion
about the announcement that Muir
ray D. Lincoln, president of the
Farm Bureau Insurance Compan-
les, will speak at meetings of the
"Ohio Farmers for Stevenson" Z"
The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation
and the Farm Bureau Insurance
Companies are separate organiza-
tions. Although we recognize Mr..
Lincoln's right to speak as an indi-
vidual we wish to make it clear
that he is not speaking for the
Ohio Farm Bureau Federation but
for himself"
It has always been a policy of
the farm organization, Rittenour
said, to invite in candidates of both
parties at Farm Bureau meetings,
to present their views to the men,
bership. I'VE will continue to fol-
low this bipartisan policy" Rit-
tenour said.
Senator John w. Bricker (R-O)
is scheduled to meet before the
state board of trustees at the farm
boards monthly meeting here, Oc-
tober IA. Michael v. Disable, To-
ledo, Bricker's opponent in the No
vember elections, appeared before
the group last month.

Savage Fighting
On Korean Front

SEOUL P-South Korean in
fantrymen tonight battled to with
in 20 yards of the top of White
Horse Hill in savage hand to hand
combat with two Chinese regi-
ments. In surrounding valleys AL
lied and Communist tanks dueled.
That was gain of SO yards in
about Az hours-indicative of the
terrific savagery of the fighting.

Milo Farneti at the front said the
vital peak was being pounded by

tillery barrage.

Highway AZ
Now Open

Route AZ between London and
the Clark county line is now open,
highway officials announced. The
road had been closed for the third
straight summer while repair work
was being done.
The remaining four miles of
highway between the Clark county
line and South Charleston will be
done next summer, it was expect
ed, although no contract has been
let for the job as yet. Should this
portion of the road be repaired in
1858, it would make the fourth
summer that the ten mile stretch
would be closed.
A law prevents lone contrac-
tor to accept work for both ends
of highway job if it extends over
a county line. This was the reason
given for the long delay. The road
has been widened several feet and
black-topped. Too, several culverts
have been widened.
