Directors of the world's biggest public utility recommended a 3-for-l stock split and a 10 percent hike in the dividend yesterday. It's the first stock split in company history and the first dividend change in 37 years.

The proposal sent A. T. T. stock, skyrocketing on the New York stock exchange. An avalanche of buying orders forced suspension of trading for lMi hours.

The ruling complicates the current labor dispute between the pilots' and engineers' unions and the airlines over whether the third man in addition to tht pilot and co-pilot should be pilot-trained.

The issue is a key one in tht current flight engineers' union strike against Eastern Airlines and is also an issue in the strike threatened for Friday midnight on American Airlines.

Standing in a shivering wind, state and county officials watched Mrs. John Mackie, wife of the state highway commissioner, cut a four inch ribbon spanning the westbound lanes. She was assisted by ten-year-old Perry Gregory of rural Ionia, whom she picked out of the crowd. In a dedication address cut to a minimum because of the 28 degree temperature, Commissioner Mackie praised Lewis and Frisinger company of Ann Arbor, the Edison company of Grand Rapids and the Sargent Construction company of Saginaw for completing the highway portion eight months ahead of the June, 1959 deadline. Mackie said that when- the Portland by-pass is completed! next summer, linking this newest: stretch of highway with thei Eagle-Portland section it will; make the longest section of (toll free) inter-state divided highway in the country.

The highway commissioner said that property values along the 17 mile stretch will be raised by $7,000,000 the cost of the highway. In a luncheon address at Cochran's restaurant in Ionia, Mackie said highway construction during 1958, including right-of-way and engineering costs, totaled a record high of $190,000,000 compared to $164,000,000 in 1957. Nearly 200 projects were placed under contract during the year, he said, and more than half of them were ahead of schedule and many opened to traffic from one to six months early.

m. in circuit court before Judge Timothy Quinn of the Lapeer and Cass City circuit. A visiting judge was named to hear the case because of the press of court bueiness before the three Ingham county judges. A writ of certiorari was issued Monday by Judge Sam Street Hughes following a petition filed by Thomas C. Walsh.

The petition seeks a search of the records and declaration of rights. A similar petition under a writ of mandamus action was denied by the supreme court last Friday. Both the attorney general's office, represented by Russell A. Searl, and the Ingham county prosecutor's office, represented by Leo A. Farhat, have worked with Walsh in expediting the case at both the supreme court and circuit court levels to gain an early decision.

WALSH FILES TODAY Walsh was preparing for the filing of his brief in the circuit court action Thursday and Scar! said he expected to file his brief Friday. Searl said the attorney general's brief, written in cooperation with the prosecutor's office, would be substantially the same as the one filed in the supreme court action. In the supreme court brief, the attorney general had emphasized that the Lansing township merger election Nov. 4 which See MERGER Page 2, Col. 2 Gets Yule Card From Alcatraz BOSTON, Dec.

Then for each Pope John repeated this solemn charge in Latin: "For the praise of Almighty God and the honor of the holy apostolic see. receive the red hat, the special badge of a cardinal's rank. By this you are to understand that you must show yourself fearless, even to the shedding of your blood, in making our holy faith respected, in securing peace for Christian people, and in promoting the welfare of the Roman church.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen." While the pope spoke, two assistants held one of the broad-brimmed, flat-topped hats the galero over the head of the new cardinal. HAT DELIVERED LATER Each cardinal moved away without his red hat. They were to be delivered later in the day and will never again appear in public until the owners are dead. When a cardinal dies, his hat is placed on his catafalque and then suspended from the ceiling of his cathedral.

Seated nearby, in a row before the altar of the cathedral chair, were the 23 previous members of the college of cardinals now in Rome. Among them Archbishop Francis Spellman of New York. It was they who on Monday met with Pope John in secret consistory to give their assent to the red blessing the thou- was throne.

SYMBOLIC RINGS Later the pope was to meet in secret consistory with the new cardinals and the 23 others to give them their symbolic rings, admit them to the privilege of counseling him and pledge them to secrecy concerning the col lege future deliberations.

The week's ceremonies increased the sacred college the senate of the church to its largest size in history and expanded it for the first time beyond the limit of 70 members set by Pope Sixtus in 1586.
