Ike Forsees Fine Prospect For Business WASHINGTON (AP) President Bsenhower" held cat the prospect Tuesday that busineaei can be fine in 1959. In hi annual economic message, Eisenhower told Congress there is multitude of favorable factora that could carry forward the improvement whicfl Degan last year after the recession began to fade.

The big thing to worry about, AVied almost immediately, is the danger that renewed inflation might upset the economists appie cart. Te keep prices stable, while encouraging economic growth, Eisenhower challenged all groups to do their part. He stressed that wage increases not justified by increased Droducuvity are lnna- tionaYy by their very nature. Eisenhower called on individual consumers to shop carefully for price and quality. He urged that businessmen "wage a ceaseless war against costs.

But Wbor union leaders, Eisenhower said, "have a particularly critical role to play, in view of the ereat twwer lodged in their hands." He grimly offered a choice. "If the desired results cannot be achieved under our Jtrrange- ments for determining wages and urices." he said, "the alternatives are: "Either inflation, which would damage our economy and work hardships on millions of Americans, "Or controls, which are alien to our traditional way of life and which would be an obstacle to the nation's economic growth and improvement." The message stirred little re action in Congress, where members were still talking about the precariously balanced 77-billion-dollar budget Eisenhower proposed Monday for the fiscal year beginning next July 1.

The handsome Charleston attorney called on other Southern states to rally around the fla? of constitutional government which he said is threatened "by those so-called liberals." Hollings pledged his fellow South Carolinians that "I will not desert your cause" in the fight to maintain, the state's traditional racial brriers. South Carolina, he sdd, is willing to defend its heritage and resist "those who would crush the states and its citizens." The new governor's forceful inaugural address was delivered from a wooden platform in front of South Carolina's historic State House. Eight other elected state officials also took oaths of office, including Lt. Gov. Burnet R.

Civil 3 i 1 1 Is WASHINGTON (AP)-In a surprise move, Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson introduced Tuesday the first broad 1959 civil rights bill a measure aimed at settling disputes with the help of federal conciliation The Texan thus set the stage for the expected battle in Con gress over demands for putting more teeth into the Civil Rights Bill passed last year. A plan that is "modest but which presents a new direction" is the way Johnson described his four-point proposal. The heart of it, he said, is based on a belief that just settlement of civil rights disputes can be found if only people will talk to each other.

When such talks reach a stalemate, Johnson told the Senate, "a conciliator would be worth his weight in gold." Johnson would establish as an independent federal agency a community relations service to help resolve civil rights disputes. It would be patterned after the present Mediation and Conciliation Service which deals with manage ment-labor controveries. The Senate Democratic leader, in putting forth his specific pro posal, got the jump on the Eisen hower administration and many members of Congress who have said they will introduce civil rights legislation.

General Strike Is Halted In Argentina BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) The government of Presi dent Arturo Frondizi Tuesday ap parently smashed a massive na tionwide walkout called by Com munists and followers of former dictator Juan D.

Peron. "It's all over," declared an offi cial spokesman coming from a long conference in Casa Rosada, the government house. An order drafting transport workers of Buenos Aires into the army and threatening them with court-martial appeared to have broken the back of the strike. Buses and street cars began rolling again. Police and troops rode the cars and buses and guarded the stations.

Railway and subway workers, already mo bilized under previous orders, were at work as usual. Many smaller stores were opened by their proprietors and a few clerks. Fruit and vegetables generally were available, but housewives formed long lines to get scarce meat and milk. Banks and most eating places were still shut, however. Industrial plants were not yet operating.

Many employes had been unable to get work because of the transport strike. The newspaper blackout also continued. The afternoon daily No- ticias Graficas canceled plans to resume publication because the personnel of the paper, a cooperative owned by the workers, voted not to work. But it appeared that Frondizi had begun his state visit in Wash-ington by surmounting yet another crisis." His is theTBrst visit byan Argentine president to the United States. He had taken off for Washing ton Sunday, in the face of the gathering strike, but with one word to his aides "firmness."

This was the plea made Tues day night by an anxious mother whose estranged husband disappeared with the couple's two daughters. The husband, Robert Ray Wy- rick, has not been seen since he failed to show up for a custody hearing in Guilford County Supe-rior Court Monday. One of the children -year-old Teresa Ann may need vaccina tion to protect her against the slow death of rabies.

Police in at least three states were looking for Wyrick Tuesday night. The police search was begun at the request of Mrs. Wy-rick's attorney, Robert Cahoon of Greensboro. Mrs. Wyrick said Teresa Ann was given the first in a series of anti-rabies shots after she was bitten on the lip by a dog Saturday.

Doctors said it is highly im probable that the dog is rabid However, the shots were begun as a precautionary measure. And, the doctors added, the shots should be continued if Te resa Ann is to be immune to the disease, which brings a slow and painful death. Mr. Wyrick said her husband has had the children since last January. She said he was the one who took Teresa Ann to the hospital for the anti-rabies shots Sat urday.

"But I don't know if he'll get her the other shots," Mrs. Wyrick said. Tuesday by Dr. William P. Kros-chel, dental director of Region IV, U.

Dr. Goodwin said that the pro gram was adopted in Orifngoburg under the sponsorship of the U.S. Public Health Service, the State Board of Health, the Orangeburg County Health and city health authorities. It was only instituted itfter the matter was given full publicity through the press and other news media and at the instigation of Parent-Teacher civic clubs, dentists, physicians and other interested organizations and individuals.

He also gave three additional reasons for his decision: 1. There are no adequate hotel facilities in St. Matthews (county seat of Calhoun County) for taking care of 12 jurors and three bailiffs for three days and nights; 2. It would be an inconvenience to the jurors being transferred back and forth from Orangeburg to be quartered and would result in additional expense to Calhoun County; and, 3. The accused is now even more entitled to a change of venue be cause a jury in Calhoun County has already convicted him without a recommendation for mercy and it might be most difficult for friends and neighbors of those jur ors not to have subconsciously made up their minds as to the defendant's guilt or innocence.

Livingston was first tried in Cal houn County in September, 1957, was convicted and a date in No vember, 1957, was set for his electrocution. This date was automatically postponed by an appeal for a new trial. In September of last year, the state Supreme Court ordered aj new trial for Livingston on the grounds that an extra venire of jurors was drawn in the chambers of Judge Woodrow Lewis, then presiding, and that such a drawing was illegal. Livingston was charged with shooting his wife to death in Cal houn County, placing her body in his automobile which he abandoned near the emergency room of the Orangeburg Regional Hospital, and then fleeing. He was arrested the following day in bavannah.

Thus, even though children in this circumsUfnce very possibly have consumed fluoridated water during their entire lifetime, they are con sidered to be in the non-resi dency category, again by virtue of non-continuous residency in Or angeburg. This is in explanation of the fact that, as will be seen the summary, the non resident category of children shows a definite decrease in dental caries experience when compared with the findings from 1953.

For purposes of a survey such as this, however, in order to get true results, it is necessary to use only those children who have maintained constant residency in Orangeburg and who have co-sumed water from the fluoridated system since birth.

If a child either had not been a continuous resident since birth or had not consumed city water since birth, he was considered to be in the non-resident category. Thus, some probabilities arise. First, there are undoubtedly some children who moved to Orangeburg at early age and have consumed city water since fluoridation was instituted, but would be considered non-residents by virtue of non-continuous residency since birth. Secondly, there are those children who consider themselves residents of Orangeburg, but live outside tlie area supplied by city water. These children drink water from private wells, but during school drink fluoridated water from the city water supply; therefore, they gain some benefit from fluoridation, but are considered to be in the non-resident category.

Thirdly, there are probably some children who have moved to Or NEW YORK (AP)-JBig corporations scoffed Tuesday at reports American business uses call girls to convince important customers to buy. A nationwide CBS radio pro gram Monday night said sex swings many big deals, and that some companies even have prosti tutes on their public relations pay rolls or pay them on a regular monthly basis. One girl told of making $25,000 a year tax free, arguing the companies claim the payments as a business expense. The city's chief magistrate said the use of sex in business is true to a degree but no one knows how much. But more than two doen firms in the fields of banking, manufacturing, oil, steel and utilities said they never heard of any company employing prostitutes to increase sales.

On December 3 4 of 1958, a post-fluoridation dental survey of 140 school children, ages 6 through II, was performed in the Melliehamp, Ellis Avenue, and Sheridan Schools of Orangeburg. This survey, in cooperation with the South Carolina Sffte Board of health, was conducted by two dentists from the U. S. Public Health Service's Regional Office in Atlanta, Georgia.

W. Gary Baker and W. M. Sadler, principals of the three schools visited, and the Pifrent- Teacher Assn. members participating proved to be an invaluable aid during the survey in distributing residency card, maintaining a rate of flow of exifminees, recording data and sterilizing instruments.

Cards were distributed to each child to be taken home and returned, filled in with the parents' answers to questions determining whether or not the child had been a continuous resident of Orange City's Fluoridation Program Appears 9 The sucess of Orangeburg's wa ter fluoridation program, instituted September, 1952, appears as sured according to results shown by a post-fluorklation dental sur vey of 1,140 local school children conducted last Dec. 3 and 4. The survey shows that since 1952, there has been a 48.6 per cent reduction of total dental cavities among six-year-olds. The six year old age group is considered the most important since children in that group and younger have been subject to the fluoridation of water since birth. The per-l centage diminishes through the age groups until ift 11 years the percentage reduction is 4.8.

The percentages were based on the result of a pre-fluoiidation survey conducted on Nov. 18, 1952, shortly after the fluoride was d-a mit ed to the city's water supply and before it could have been expected to take effect among the cln'ldron of the city.
