Blossoms Once More 1ST if- From a flying trapeze to general manager. From catching the aerialists to catching the thousands of things that a circus needs. You might say from the frying pan into the fire. That's Harold D.

Genders, general manager of Hingling Bros, and Barnum Bailey Circus. HE'S TUFFY Genders to the trade, and mostly he has to be tough. For he heads a staff that's responsible for every detail of logistics that enables the performers to put on a good show. From his days as catcher in a flying trapeze act with his wife, Grayce, Genders gained special knowledge about rigging the ropes and other things that dangle all over the three rings. The aerialists rely on him to repair damage before an accident occurs.

And they leave the worrying to Tuffy. BUT THE rigging is only one small detail. When the circus train comes to the SP siding in West Phoenix Tuesday, Genders and his staff take over, literally putting the show on the road. Their job is to avert or overcome delays in getting everything from the 30 silvery circus cars to Memorial Coliseum. First there will be the trailers bearing a treasure in costumes, floats and rigging.

Then the elephants, horses and other animals will trek to the building for a breakfast Genders has arranged for them. ONCE ALL the circus gear is in the arena, Genders supervises setting the New York Times Service NEW YORK Wall Street's perennial expectation of a summer rally in the stock market has begun to flower again after a mild recovery movement. Weathering formidable adverse elements the market demonstrated a buoyant tendency in ending a two-week downturn. There was also a better atmosphere in the bond market, but investment bankers were wondering how long it would last. After June's big decline bond prices swung upward as interest rates eased even though the heavy volume of offerings contined.

A fair measure of the bond mart improvement was that a double-A-rated utility issue (Northern Illinois Gas-bonds) could be successfully marketed at a 5.9 per cent yield only one week after a triple-A bond issue of the Illinois Bell Telephone carried 1 5rA rf I HAROLD I).

Now, he's ready for matinee and evening performances Wednesday through next Sunday. During the performance, Genders and his team are putting the show through its mechanical paces. They are responsible for split-second timing-having the right thing at the right place at the right instant.

And that's no small feat if it involves the circus' normal complement of 500 people. ZIP! At a rate of 4,000 pounds an hour, hot dogs processed here by the Cudahy Company are peeled back to their birthday suits by a new skinning machine operated by Mrs. Elda Maiers, Phoenix.

The State's Business It's Battle-the'Black'Ant Picnic Time Again, And Phoenix Cudahy's Busy Supplying the Meat 1 5 Hi Campbell By DON G. CAMPBELL Business and Financial Editor A few exploratory thumpings of the ground with a broom handle have pretty well established the fact that the summer season is upon us, and that the earth has more than enough stability to support a faded Indian blanket, a thermos bottle and the posteriors of a reasonable number of picnickers. 4V to would spoil the meat before it ever got out of the vat. While being churned around in the vat, pickles, spice and everything nice are added in accordance with rigid formulas. IN ALL, BOLIN said, Cudahy manufacturers 20 different types of luncheon meats here.

Bologna remains the runaway favorite with shoppers, accounting for between 35 and 40 per cent of the sales. Hot dogs, month in and month out, are an even bigger seller than bologna, of course, but while both are lumped in the "sausage" family, hot dogs are not a luncheon meat in the sense that bologna is. Once the luncheon meat has been thoroughly mixed, Bolin added, it is formed in rectangular, 36-inch stainless steel trays lined with an artificial casing. This is subsequently peeled off once the loaf of meat has hardened, removed from the tray and sliced. The one exception to this is bologna, where the casing is left intact.

Strictly speaking, according to Cudahy's plant manager, the casing is edible enough if one doesn't mind its lack of taste or its tendency to get ensnarled in dental work. But the fact that casing, as such, is not what you would call a critical success in the taste department makes the removal of it from the mass produced hot dog a pretty complicated procedure. TO SPEED THIS UP, Bolin said, Cudahy has just installed a new hot dog skinning machine which can denude 4,000 pounds of hot dogs an hour without so much as a bruise and without even giving the hot dog an opportunity to be embarrassed by his unclothed condition. The new machine, the Cudahy spokesman said, is part of a completely new processing line and kitchen that it will install this year to increase the efficiency of its sausage production. Far less perishable, and considerably more profitable, than fresh table meat, the humble cold cut's popularity is the delight of the meat industry.

STEEL BALLS Alloy steel balls ready for use in the mining industry to grind ore are examined by E. O. Spaher, left, vice president and general With the possible exception of a few hundred thousand black ants, no one stands to gain more from this annual exodus to the great outdoors than do the processors of luncheon meat the "leg" on which any well-regulated picnic stands or falls. And this, of course, is that time of year when the meat packers are busiest in this end of their business huddling over their bubbling vats of emulsified meats and dropping shreds of pimento into the mixture with the gay abandon of an 11-year-old flower girl participating in her sister's wedding. HERE AT CUDAHY'S Phoenix plant, for instance, approximately 1,400 head of cattle and 2,500 hogs are marched to the great salt-lick in the sky to help provide the 15,000 to 20,000 pounds of luncheon meat that the firm processes and trundles off to market each week.

As far as the meat processors are concerned, according to Al Bolin, general plant manager here for Cudahy, luncheon meats fall in the broadly inclusive "sausage" family, which not only includes all forms of sausage as such, but also liver-wurst, braunschweiger, bologna, hot dogs and even boiled ham virtually everything, in fact, but fresh table meats, poultry and fresh and canned hams. Essentially, Bolin said, luncheon meat is manufactured just about the way that anyone with a vivid imagination assumes that it is the meat (beef and pork trimmings) is thoroughly chopped and ground up, and is then emulsified in large vats with the addition of ice water. The water, incidentally, isn't for the purpose of "cutting" the meat content, but is necessary as a cooling agent. Without it, Bolin said, the heat generated by the emulsifying process New Ways Found to Make a Living Millnii(l-Kos to Arizona 1 Auto Slvle Change Brought By A. V.

GILLETTE Associate Business and Financial Editor A change in auto styles brought Midland-Ross Corp. of Cleveland to Arizona. Midland-Ross made frames for the auto industry in the 1950s. Then came the switch to unitized bodies. Not only was frame a naughty auto word, but also hardly anybody wanted one.

So Midland-Ross in 1957 set out to find new ways to make a Engineering Degree Pays $733 Month Business Collegians High on List for Masters Degree corporate living. It did so by acquiring promising firms and operating them as divisions. ONE OF the acquisitions was Wright Manufacturing Co. 2902 W. Thomas, in 1962.

Another, through a merger in 1965, was the National Malleable and Steel Castings Co. of Cleveland with its subsidiary, Capitol Foundry on S. Kyrene Drive in Tempe. Thus Midland-Ross came to Arizona. There were many other acquisitions in widely diversified fields that have catapulated Midland-Ross to a place among the nation's top 200 space continued to be the most active recruiter, making other divisions in the United States and Canada and one of these is Waldron-Hartig in New Brunswick, N.

J. There a small metal fabricating shop was started in 1827 by John Waldron as the corporate forebear of Midland-Ross. From Midland-Ross' many divisions now flow such a diversity of products that it boasts "somewhere in this country just about every person, at some time each day, uses a product made by Midland-Ross or by other manufacturers on equipment designed and built by Midland-Ross." The corporation, said Wade N. Harris, chairman of the board, is growing faster than the national average and will continue its growth. THE FIRM reported first quarter net earnings this year of $4,033,000, and estimates its second quarter net at about the same amount.

The total would be a little lower than last year's $8,331,000 for the half year. "We could wind up a little better for the half," a Midland-Ross spokesman said. "It's very close. At any rate, (Continued on Fage 5-F, Col. 2) twice as many offers as the next employer group, electronics.

BY CURRICULUM among bachelor degrees, chemical engineers attracted the highest offers with a $733 average. Next were electrical engineering, $728; aeronautical engineering, $724; and mechanical engineering, $720. But none of the leaders was among the first four in percentage increases. Accounting led this list with 8.9 per cent, followed by humanities and social sciences, 7.7 per cent; physics-chemistry mathematics, 7.6 per cent; chemical and mechanical engineering, 7.5 per cent; and business, ning salaries were higher than at any time since the CPC launched its salary survey in 1959-60. In the bachelor's degree phase of the national study, the average dollar value of offer to nontechnical students rose 7.7 per cent to $614 a month and the average for technical students went up 7.3 per cent to $720.

Information for its salary survey, which is limited to male students, as collected from 116 selected colleges and universities from coast to coast, covering 46.483 Bachelor, master and doctoral offers. Prior to 196M7, the gains for bachelor's candidates had been running under 5 per cent for the most part. In the seven years since the initial salary survey, the nontechnical average has increased $172 or 38.9 per cent while the technical average has gone up $193 or 36.6 per cent Of this, 15.4 per cent of the nontechnical total and 13.4 per cent of the technical figure occurred the last two years. THE AEROSPACE, electronics and chemical-drug industries, which rely heavily on technical manpower, continued to make the most offers this year, but public accounting firms registered the greatext percentage increase with 13.3 per cent over last year.

Next were the food and beverage processing employers and the merchandising field, both at 9.4 per cent, and the banking-finance-insurance group at 8.7 per cent. In dollar value, the electronics industry recorded the highest average with $718, followed by aerospace at $716 and chemicals-drugs at $715.
