PROXMIRE EXPLAINS Senator Proxmlre (D.-Wis.) says he twice deleted pictures of Sen ate Leader Johnson (D.-Tex.) from photographa appearing In Proxmlre's newsletter. Space limitations and other edit orial considerations made the cuts necessary, according to Proxmire. Nothing elae was intended, he add ed. Proxmlre sends the newsletter to contituents. Gains are registered in wool fu tures. U. S. steel production sets new record. Washington News ?Y Washington, D. C.? The secoad oust dramatic fight in the Senate thin year waa the tana* battle over the labor bill. Senator John Kennedy loet a key round in that fight and labor union leader* had to come to Majority Leader Lyn don Johnson to get him to full their cbeenuti out of the fin. i Johnson waa well aware of this opportunity to demonstrate his unique power in the Senate, and demonstrate It he did. Within forty-eight hours he had modified the bill to appeane labor's leaders. He had used latent fear of con servatives ? of an ever-growing federal power ? to tone down the "bill of rights" amendment added to the bill. When this amendment was adopted, 47-40, it was a resounding defeat for Senator John Kennedy, a victory for Senator John L. Mc Clellan. Johnson, however, rallied strength enough to modify the bill of rights snd mollify labor and save Kennedy's bill ? in the Sen ate. Labor leaders got the idea. Some, no doubt, were impreased. Meanwhile, the race in the Dem ocratic Party? for the nomination next year? boils down now to three men, aasuming that Adlai Stevenson can't make it, again. These three are John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Stuart Sym ington, all Senators. Senator Hu bert Humphrey is also a candidate but he ia not rated the chance any one of the above three now l?i?l The stock market may continue on upward and reach better than 700 by year'i end, according to the lateat estimate! by some (ore casters. A steel strike might affect the market temporarily, but there are those who believe it will even tually go considerably higher than 700? possibly well over 800. But this would take several years. On the other hand, tome eco nomists say that the market is right now at its peak, and that it will not continue to rise. If they are correct thia is a time for bear ish policy among investors. The majority seems to agree with the former forecast, that the market wil go on upward, a while longer at least. Business la expect ed to be excellent this year, pick ing up in the fall again, after a summer lull. And the outlook for 1960 is good also, partly ? perhaps Are you smoking more now but enjoying it less? CHANGE TO CAMELS-A REAL CIGARETTE When you change to Camels, you get more to enjoy. More real, clean, rich flavor . . . easygoing mildness . . . more "feel" of pure pleasure in every smoke. A real cigarette. That's what you get from the Camel blend of costly tobaccos. So many people know all this that Camel outsells every other cigarette. Join up? The best tobacco ' makes the pj best smoke JL 1 i f BwrMku Onvmt. ir. C.

Secretary of Defenae Neil Mc Elroy hinted at aomething few Americana are eonaidering aeriou* ly at the preaent time, in a recent ipeech in New York. He aaid that our coniumption of conaumer good* and luxurie* might have to be curtailed if the economic men ace of communiim continue* to grow. Thi* mean*, limply, that the na tion might have to put more of ita total induatrial output into defenae and iecurity field*, curtailing lome comumer production ? which now account* for an over whelming percentage of the groaa national product. The Ruaaiani, for example, are devoting moat of their total effort to the armed tervice*, defense and acieoce and apace work. The U. S. effort i* only a small fraction of our total induatrial output. If the communiat* continue to regiater impreaaive gain* in the economic competition they have undertaken, the day may be near when tome of our consumer con sumption, especially of noneisen tial and luxury products, will be limited. This is a somber and de press! re thought, but the threat now facing the democracies is very real, and grave. Nothing la likely to be done in a year or two, or be fore a new President is elected, but soon thereafter, a painful re appraisal might be necessary.
