Opponents Halted,
Neither Side Gains,
Finnequn Says

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio. Oct. 10
tPI.--Adlai Stevenson's cam
paign manager says the presiden-
tial race has reached the point
where neither side is gaining
and victory could be achieved by
winning over the undecided"
voters.
James E. Finnegan said in his
opinion the presidential contest
now is at the stage where voters
who list themselves as undecided
will tip the balance next month.
He described this as a pre-
election plateau from which
either side could go up or down.
Il believe we have stopped the
other side in its tracks," Mr.. Fin
negan said. I'VE have reached a
point where neither side is gain
ing. All We have to do now, is
get the undecided people in our
column and we'll win this cleo
ton"

Red Press Says
German Strike
Reports Are Lies

BERLIN, Oct. 19 (P).-East
Germany's Communist newspa-
pers tried today to squash re-
ports that thousands of factory
workers are striking for better
conditions.
The Red press termed the re-
ports complete lies, and said
they were invented to prevent
understanding between East and
West Germany.
The official Communist Party
newspaper Neues Deutschland
said the reports were proof that
West German "militaristS" are
trying to hinder unification.
The strikes were reported yes
terday by Der Tag, an indie
pendent West Berlin newspaper,
and by the League of Free Jurists,
a West Berlin anti-Communist
organization which claims it has
a farflung network of contacts
in East Germany.
According to them, the strikes
center in the industrial city of
Magdeburg, so miles from Berlin.
Two thousand police were re-
portedly rushed into the city
from East Berlin.
The Telegraf, another indie
pendent West Berlin newspaper,
said today the central commit
tee of the East German Com
munist Party has been called
into special session to deal with
the strikes. The Morgenpost,
another West Berlin paper, said
the party's chief theoretician,
Fred Oelssner. has been sent to
Magdeburg.

the age of 65 become eligible be-
cause of having made the requir-
ed contributions and meeting the
other requirements. Neither these
payments nor those received I'M
der the state public employees re-
tirement act are charity.
Old age assistance under the
federal-state arrangement is pred
icated on need as determined, in
Montana, by the state department
of public welfare. The depart
ment's most recently issued
monthly statistical report, for Oc-
tober 1855, shows there were
1887 cases receiving an average
Of $58.02 or a total of $519,719,
compared with 1884 cases in
October 1850 receiving an average
of $52.22.
There appear to be two special
reasons for the reduction of the
old age assistance case load in
Montana. One is improved eco
nomic conditions. The other is a
1858 state law disallowing bene-
fits to parents where the earn
ings of children reach a certain
minimum.
During the fiscal year that end
ed June 80, 1855, the state de-
partment of public welfare dis
bursed $6,431,558.60 in old age
assistance monthly payments. OF
this amount 55.87 percent was
federal funds, 1888 percent
state funds and $50 per-
cent from county funds.

the car is virtually free from all but the purely
routine requirements of service.
A Cadillac stretches a gallon of gasoline over
so many miles that it is actually the rival of much
smaller, lighter cars in this regard.
And a Cadillac will retain its value over the
years better than any other automobile in the land.
The conclusion is, we think, self-evident:
Cadillac ownership is not only wonderful and
thrilling-but sound and sensible as we'll.
Why not stop in soon for a look and a ride?
You'll discover the most beautiful Cadillac ever
built the 6nest-performing Cadillac of all time
and the greatest value in Cadillac history.
That's Cadillac's magical combination for 1856
