60 congressmen planning to attend Paris Air Show WASHINGTON (AP) As many as 60 congressmen plan to attend the Paris Air Show next month as expense-paid observers. Air Force and State Department arrangements to handle a delegation up to that size came to light in a cable from the State Department to the U.S. Embassy 1 in Paris. It said the department understands a large group of congressional delegates will attend the International Air Show in Paris May 26-June 4. The cable noted that the Air Force, which has primary responsibility, had asked for help in obtaining 60 single rooms in first-class hotels, plus 30 rental cars with English speaking French drivers.

The hotels and cars are to be paid for out of counterpart funds earmarked for congressional committees, the cable said. Counterpart funds are U.S.owned local foreign currencies which cannot be exchanged for gold or dollars, but which can be used only to meet official U.S. costs within the countries involved. In addition, the Air Force will provide transatlantic transportation for the congressional observers. The Air Force said it does not yet know how many congressmen will make the trip.

"Normally, the Air Force does not receive final official party listings until a week or 10 days in advance of actual trav- Seminar held at USM The first annual seminar of the South Central Chapter of the American Production and Inventory Control Society was held April 7 at USM.

England told the board he felt he could no longer cope with the problems and frustrations connected with his service. The Salvation Army has had its problems since the regional office and the local board elected to operate as an outpost instead of accepting UGF funds which would not be adequate to meet the necessary budget Operating as outpost to the Laurel Chapter, it has turned no one away who needs a meal or a night's lodging.

Since the post opened under Sgt. E. C. Gould and Mrs. Gould it has operated on solicited donations and sales at the thrift shop operated in the same room used for character building and teacher training classes.

Clothing is removed for the class sessions. In March the Army lodged 66 persons, including two women with their children, and served 146 meals. Five applications were received for grocery orders. A total of 387 persons attended 24 senior character building classes and 491 young people attended 41 junior classes. In addition, the Army pro vided church worship for those who feel less than welcome in more formal churches.

Some revenue is derived from church members, many of whom tithe from their meager incomes. England said that the Army has been fighting a war on poverty around the world for 101 years, "making the effort to the glory of God without any government Without support, he said, the outpost here cannot continue.

Gainers still outnumber market losers NEW YORK (AP) Gainers continued to outnumber losers on the New York Stock Exchange early this afternoon. Trading was moderately active.

Advances outnumbered declines by two-to-one but the averages were handicapped by small losses in many blue chip industrials. Brokers saw the rise as a continuation of Tuesday's technical recovery but they noted that the Tuesday volume was the lowest in about two months, reflecting a lack of conviction in the ability of the rally to continue. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 1.12 in the first half hour but by noon had cut its rise to .56 at 848.2 There was some profit taking in blue chips as well as the glamor issues which rebounded Tuesday. The fact that rucks had begun moving again throughout nation following a tentative labor agreement and news of a fairly stable unemployment rate were cited as encouraging background factors.
