Vol. CXVlt, No. 263 ALTON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1952 Kttlblhntd jMMIfy fly 1 $170 Mil li on Chett Drive AlnminmnPlant Is Olin Project Government Green Light! Project As Defense Measure Olln Industries. of East Alton has received from the government the go-ahead to construct J170 million aluminum plant.

In Issuing two "certlflHttes of necessity" for tax write-off to OHn, the Defense Production Administration launched the "third round" of aluminum expansion for defense, according to an Associated Press dispatch from Washington. Defense Aluminum The DPA announcement said that the company will produce 110,000 tons of primary aluminum' a year, or more than half the total of 200,000 tons of added capacity deemed essential to national defense. The dispatch continued that the Defense Production Administration issued the two "certificates of necessity" entitling Olin to write off in five years, as depreciation for tax purposes, a major part of the cost of the facilities. One of the certificates permits Olin to use the rapid write-off privilege on 85 percent of the cost of a primary aluminum costing $123,300,000, the dispatch said. other certificate a $45Vi million to produce sheet, plate, arid aluminum extrusions.

Fifty percent of 'the outlay may be written off at the rapid rate. Normal Depreciation The normal depreciation period allowed under tax laws is 20 to 25 years. Location of the operations has not yet been determined, the DPA according to the dispatch. John M. of Olin Industries, confirmed later this morning the announcement of S.

W. Anderson, deputy" administrator, aluminum, Defense Production Administration, that certificates of necessity, relative to an aluminum project, have been issued to Olin. President Olin said he was unable to make further comment at this time.

Farouk, Family Move To Grotta Ferrata ROME JP Ex-King Farouk of Egypt and his family moved Tuesday night from Santa Marinella to a 40-room villa at Grotta Ferrata, some 13 miles south of Rome.

Israel President JERUSALEM Israel still sought a new President today. Albert was officially declined to succeed Chaim Weizmann. A statement issued by Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion's office said ihe Prime Minister had messaged Abba Eban, Israel's ambassador to Washington, to inquire of the noted scientist if he would accept the presidency. The statement said Einstein turned the honor down. Einstein now is connected with the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, N.

J. President Weizmann died last week. Needs Spur to Attain Quota Industrial advance gift donors, and corporations CAN save the Alton Community Chest's still current campaign from falling short of its quota with a surprise stepping up of their gifts ih the next few But to members of the Chest's board of directors, meeting Tuesday afternoon, It appeared this, year's'campaign might fall between $10,000 and $15,000 under its $215,000 goal. Campaign Chairman Kenneth SchuleYiburg indicated to the directors that hile he felt there should be money available in the community for the Chest's agencies, he now would happy if the campaign reached its 1951' figure of $206,000. He said certain areas of the campaign had bogged down; that subordinate leaders and individual workers kept putting off making reports despite frequent efforts to get them.

A reflection Of the just-dosed political campaign appeared during the discussion, in which it was disclosed $195,000 war already ported in. Politics May Have Hurt Schulenburg and some other members of the board expresesd the opinion that both corporations and many of their employes must have contributed heavily to party campaign funds in the area, and permitted this fact to reduce their gifts to the Chest. Board Chairman Charles Tallman suggested that experience in the current campaign indicated need for a public campaign headquarters staffed with enough clerical help volunteered by local industries to maintain closer score, report by report, on progress of the campaign. While the Chest office, he said, maintains a good system of control records, it lacks the personnel under present conditions to handle the sudden increased influx of data incurred by a city-wide campaign, and shouldn't be expected i maintain such a staff. He said he felt certain that Industries of the area would volunteer to provide such a staff next year, so that a constant and a detailed progress report of the drive could Thus every drive leader and worker could obtain instant information of the campaign's statas, or his own or his team's status, by calling the headquarters.

This, Tallman felt, would serve tthrpeed up the campaign in many ways. Eyes Early Start tie said, too, that he intended to press the 1953 campaign organization into activity in preparation for the; drive immediately after the Christmas holidays. "I see the need for longer advance preparation," he said. "In this area you can't get much done in this direction during the summer, and you must be ready to go full blast jn' the fall. There's only one thing to do.

Start organization work as early as possible." Meanwhile, unless developments of a surprising nature appear before the first of the year, it's likely all of Alton's Chest agencies, may actually have to slice them compared to 1952. The Chest drive funds will be apportioned to the agencies then according to the outcome of the campaign. W. H. Wiseman, Photographer, Dies at Age 83 Death Comes Shortly er Birthday; Services Set Friday New York Times Had Long Lovejoy Story From Cobert, Germany, the editor of the Telegraph has received a letter written by Paul Simon, who is stationed with the CIC officp in sight of the Iron Curtain.

Simon enclosed with the letter a clipping from the international edition of the New York Times which gave one and one-fourth columns to a report on the'appearance of Gov Stevenson at Alton to honor the memory of Elijah Lovejoy Nov. 9. Simon, in civilian life is ediotr of the Troy newspaper. In addition to congratulating the Telegraph editor on his birthday (which he read about in the Telegraph sent regularly to him in Germany), Simon wrote: "It is unquestionably a valuable experience being here, but I shall be happy to get back to my paper in Troy in May of next year." Additional Aid Foundation Gives $80,491 More For Olin Vocational School flie Alton School District today received an addition from the Olin Foundation, for expenses incurred in the con struction of the F. W.

Olin Vocational School. The most recent payment by the Olin Foundation brings-to 1650,491,40 the total of the gift to the district. The original gift, when the school was planned was 1375,000. When bids exceeded estimates, the Foundation gave the dictnct another H9S.OOC. Both of these gifts required that the district spend $55,000 which it reab'zed from public sale of its old vocational school on Cut Street, on the new vocational building piling would be necessary to support the foundations of the structure.

This cost was also borne by the school district. By paying the district the additional $80,491.40, the Olin Foundation has now paid for the entire con true lion cost of the building, except for $22,500 which was awarded the district by a board of arbitration in a dispute with the J. J. Wuellner Son Construction Co. This sum was used by the school board to provide additional facilities to the building.

With the cost of the building and equipment almost $800.000, the only cost to the school district is now $116641.85 which has been William H. Wiseman, who was 83 Tuesday, died at 7:30 a. m. today of a heart attack at his home and photographic studio, 322 E. Broadway.

He became ill Tuesday morning and had to cancel plans to Attend a birthday dinner at the home of his daughter, Mrs, P. (Willa) Shepard. 1520 Liberty St. As he arose this morning for breakfast, he was stricken. A physician was called and Alton fire company No.

1 was summoned with the resuscitator, but the 'elderly Alton photographer was dead. When William H. Wiseman adopted Alton as his home about 56 years ajjo, cameras as personal possessions were not'so numerous as now. The photograph "gallery" as a general rule was the place where one had his picture taking done, except by the comparative few of those days who made their own pictures. Rerocnlcm As Artist It was just a short time after he came here and business until he was recognized as a true artist, a man of exquisite taste and skill in making photographs.

Business which previously had largely drifted away from Alton photographers to St. Louis began to stay at home more and more. Wiseman was doing the work. Perhaps his art was best brought to the attention of the people of Alton and vicinity, when Mr. Wiseman began to do some, striking exhibition work.

He made of some of the veiy well known people about Alton and displayed them where they would draw attention because of striking effects he was producing. One pidture was of an attractive young woman, then Miss Rose Basse, who recently died in Cal ifornia. She was later to become Mrs. B. B.

Stakemiller. She was pictured beside a spinning' wheel as "Priscilla, the Puritan Another was George Weigler an aged druggist who owned the property converted within the last few years into the Eugene Elfgen building at Henry and Broadway. He was pictured as an old Ger- maBjCbemist, sitting at ease smoking bis huge pipe. Another was a picture of an aged Negro whom every one knew as "Old, Gilbert" whose feet pointed out at an angle as he walked that reminded one of the clock hands at "ten minutes to two." He was pictured as "Old Black Joe" of Stephen Foster song fame and as answering a call. He was saying "I'm coming, my head is bending low," as he obeyed his last call.

of Pictures Then there Were other pictures of folks one met every day in the business and professional world, faces that were so familiar they would draw crowds to gaze in exhibition window almost continuously. As the years went by Will Wiseman collected a vast number of portraits of young and old which, when displayed, stopped the crowds on the sidewalks where he would be holding an exhibition. He was truly a remarkable man whose genius was fully appreciated in the city which he had honored by adopting as his home. In his younger days, Mr. Wiseman won a reputation as a "daredevil photographer" because of his daring in securing what later proved to be spectacular pictures.

It was recalled that once before aerial snap shots become possible he climbed to the top of the highest span of the railroad bridge draw- span at Alton, to take a panoramic picture of first. Carrying the heavy camera of that era, the agile Wiseman managed to "coon up" the steel girders and, apparently oblivious of the danger to his life, took remarkable photographs of the city, which stood alone for many a year. In that day, aerial photographs were rare. The high speed camera was a thing still to be developed, and pictures from planes were something for the future. But the indomitable Will Wiseman, determined to show his adopted city in pictures, climbed to the top of the tallest smokestack at the Illinois (now Owens-Illinois Glass Co.

plant. Bearing the heavy equipment, he made his way up the tall slack, on the iron ladder steps. Once at the lop, he calmly prepared his equipment, took, his pictures from his perilous perch of the glass works. It was in 1896 that Wiseman W. H.

Wieczorek was driving west with Mrs. Kayser. Missouri State Highway police said Wieczorek's car skidded, apparently. Police said Wieczorek told them he was not sure, how the accident happened. Mrs.

Burgoyne was the only orte of the accident victims released from the hospital after emergency treatment.

My JACK BKM, WASHINGTON Elsenhower kept the road open today for swift ehangps In Truman Administration policies when he takes ovfu- the presidency Jan. 20. The carefully worded Joint statement Issued by Eisenhower and President Truman after their lorio If chilly White House con- 'ei-ence Tuesday was regarded on Capitol Hill as indicating Elsen- flovvpr has some of these changes definitely in mind. The statement emphasized that Eisenhower was not asked to did not responsibility for decisions taken oy the Truman administration in Its last weeks.

Republican lawmakers were speculating, lor instance, that, the new President may call for sharp cutbacks In the budget Truman is required to submit by Jan. 18. Indications are the Truman budget will run well above 80 billion as high as 85 billions. There also might be early shifts of emphasis in the handling of foreign affairs, although no one expects any sudden change In basic policies despite the general's forthcoming personal Inspection trip to Korea. In their statement the President and his successor said they had a 25-minute face-to- face conference and a 51-minute meeting later with their aides of the most im portant problems affecting our country in the sphere of international relations." Have 'Framework' "We have worked out a framework for liaison and exchange'of information between the present administration and the incoming administration, but we have made no arrangements which are inconsistent with the full spirit of the Constitution," the statement continued.

"We believe'. that the arrangements we have, made for cooperation will be of great value to the stability of our country and to the favorable progress of international affairs." No one in of authority cared to try to spell out details of this co-operation, beyond that already being practiced by Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. (R-Mass) and Detroit banker Joseph Dodge, Eisenhower's representatives, In checking on the actions of government Departments. is little doubt that Eisenhower insisted the statement must make it clear that he was not taking part in decisions by the Truman administration in its remaining 63 days of life.

Thus, the general's friends said he would not be hampered by having helped form any decisions and could reverse any made once he takes office. While the joint statement mentioned discussion of international issues it left unanswered the question of whether Eisenhower will make any public statement supporting the American sponsored resolution in the United Nations opposing forcing Red prisoners of war in Korea to return home against their will. Ike quiet on Cabinet Nor was there any indication that Eisenhower was willing to accept proposals made by several Democrats that he designate his chief cabinet officers in advance of his inaugural. However, the proposal is he- Continued on Pane 2, Col. 2.

Pool 418.52 Riie 1.78 Jft. Taiiwater 397.65 The foremoon of Saturday, Doc. 6, has been set by the real estate committee of city council for pub- lie auction of veterans's temporary Housing structures on both the Wilson and Highland Ave tracts. Fixtures in the structure's will tie offered for sale separately on the pamc day. Chairmar.

Wetstein of the committee said yesterday that there will be nine gr ten two-unit structures to be sold put of the total of 15. The parks, playground, and refuse departments each have been allocated building, one has been reserved for the projected new Hoffmeister tract playground, not far from the Elm-Wilson site, and the police department wants two of tht structures. All buildings must he removed to dear the sites that are held by the Madison County Housing authority, and three rity departments already are dismantling for removal the buildings allocated to them. The committee, VVetstein said, has secured Bert Ritchey, well- known Godfrey auctioneer, to cry the sale, and Ritchey has offered to cut his usual fee of 10 per cent to five per cent because the auction is in public interest. While a number of the buildings are nioe families as ol the end of last wnek still remained in occupancy of veterans' housing units.

Notices were given all occupants last June to arrange to vacate the units by Sept. and since the auction date was set, new arid final notices have been given that the structures must be vacated by Dec. 1. Because the structures must be dismantled for removal, not having been constructed so as to be movable, the council committee proposes to sell fixtures, such as lavatories and heating units, separately from the buildings. Wetstein says so many offers have been made from prospective purchasers that the structures could have been sold three times over had it been possible to dis- i pose of them at private sale.

Because they are public property he says, sale on competitive bids is legally necessary and the com-! nriittee believes an auction will bring the city a greater net return then to offer the buildings through a call for sealed bids. i Estimates from WX) to $400' i have been heard as likely sale i There are two of structures and those latest erected with siding 'may tuuig the higher On Legislative Problems of 9 52 NEW YORK Dwlght D.

Martin, (R-Mnss), prospective speaker of the House. Martin arrived at the general's sixth-floor offices a few minutes ahead of Tuft: Taft said a list of subjects was bound to come up at the congressional 'session starting In January and remarked "a lot of laws" will be expiring.

The purpose of (He meeting today, he said, was to "decide what you are going to do." Then he said he did not expect any definite program to be worked out, but there would be an exchange of views to reach general conclusions. Senator Styles Bridges of New Hampshire and Alexander'Wiley of Wisconsin were other senators who expected to see Elsenhower today. The schedule also listed as callers Rep. Joseph Martin, of Massachusetts; Jack Porter, Texas national commilteeman, and Lewis K. Gough, national commander of the American Legion.

Riotinglnmates Of Michigan Prison Subdued JACKSON, Mich. XP-Wilh rioting inmates subdued by shotgun blasts, authorities at Southern Michigan Prison today began a probe in which they hoped to pin the blame for the third major uprising here this year.

It broke out in the mess hall Monday night. For a time there were 2,200 wildly milling rioters involved, many streaming into y'ards from cellblocks forced by pals. Some had knives grabbed from the Others had clubs. More than 20 shotgun blasts were fired into the air. So were several bursts from a sub-machine gun before the two-hour disturbance was quelled.

No one was wounded. The sanu- scream in the mess hall that set off a bloody, million- dollar general ricl in April ignited last night's. It was: "There's salt in the coffee." A less violent riot occurred in July, which resulted in i he firing of the then Warden Julian N. Frisbie and became an issue in the recent guber- nptortal None of the 35 to 40 unarmed guards inside the prison, the world's laigest penitentiary, were grabbed as hostages this time Assistant Ueputy Warden Chwles Cahill, who led a squad of eight shotgun-armed guards that finally forced submission, said the rioting "undoubtedly" was part of an escape plot. Allied Planes HitConmramW WASHINGTON Nobody knows what the President of the United Slates and the man who will succeed him said to each other at their private meeting Tuesday, but one fellow knows what expressions Ihey wore.

Later, he said, they smiled and shook hands for the benefit of his camera. Then Georges departed and the private talk resumed, Georges pirked out of a hat the slip that gave him admittance to the room as the lone photographer permitted at the meeting.

Here is Georges' description of what went on while he was In the meeting room: "Shortly alter Ike met I ho President In his more than a couple of minutes later I was taken In. Mr. Truman was seated behind his desk and Ike was seated about four or five feet to his left, "The two were talking In low, serious tones when I walked In.

Taft said he and President-elect Elsenhower, at'their Sept. 12 meeting in New York, agreed upon this as well as upon a 60-bllllon-budget goal for fiscal 1955. Barring any interfering commitments, Taft added, tax cuts of or 13 per cent would be theoretically possible in 1955. The Ohioan and other Republican leaders in Congress are discussing legislation with Kisenhowpr at a conference loday In New York.

Rep. Taber (R-NY), who will head the House Appropriations Committee in the new Congress, said Tuesday "Spending can be held to 70 billion dollars." That means, he said, that Congress will have to use the axe on every federal activity, including defense and foreign aid spending. Tabor predicted elect Eisenhower will send Congress a revised budget after he takes the oath of office late in January. The budget due early that month will he transmitted to Congress by President Truman.
