Carr, chief of special services for the Veterans Administration stationed at the Wilkes-Barre VA Hospital, will be the speaker for the Greater Hazleton Veterans Association annual awards banquet tomorrow night, it was announced today by GI1VA President James Kessel. The dinner program, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. in Genetti's Pennsylvania Room, will be highlighted with the presentation of two awards: one for the veteran who has done the most for veterans in the past year, and the other for a citizen who has done the most for both veterans and his fellow citizens. Last year's recipients of the awards were Dr.

Edgar L. Dessen (citizen's award) and F. X. Anton-elli (veteran's award). This year's winners will not be revealed until the dinner tomorrow, Kessel said.

Anticipate Large Crowd The GHVA president said reservations indicate the largest crowd ever to attend the annual dinner. Atty. Robert Gillespie will be the t.oastmaster. A native of Hazleton, Carr, who received his master's degree from the University of Pittsburgh, has served as a school teacher, sum- May Discuss Shortway (Continued from Page 11) so that it would go by Bethlehem and end up at Philadelphia instead of Stroudsburg. "I told him that we in the Greater Hazleton area have had a great community of interest with Philadelphia and we intend to develop that relationship to a more successful degree but that the businessmen and citizens of this, area are beginning to show deep resentment towards the Philadelphia group because of statements regarding the Key.

stone Shortway. "I also pointed out that the Shortway would bring traffic 40 miles closer to Philadelphia than New York. "Mr. Miller and I talked about arranging a meeting between representatives of Hazleton and Philadelphia to further discuss this matter. Evans To Take Action "Wilbur Evans, president of the Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce, is initiating action to hold a meeting with this group.

"I gathered from the conversation with Mr. Miller that they were-not too sure of some of the points used in their argument against the Shortway," Cerula concluded. Meanwhile, at Scranton Monday night, Gov. Leader asserted that if he is elected to the U. S.

Senate in November, he will initiate legislation to make the nation's turnpikes toll-free, thus adding impetus to the new road program. He told his Scranton audience the Shortway is a "firm" project despite the Philadelphia objections. One of the points in favor of Hazleton's request at Harrisburg yes This seal has been adopted as the insignia to be used in advertising sponsored by local businessmen in promoting a "Buy With Confidence" move in the Greater Hazleton area. Denies Advertisements Placed To Win Union's Favor But Cleveland merchandisers point up the heartening appearance of favorable credit applications. Their consumers' were "solvent people good for their money." "Economic Disease" Other industries like the National Home Laundry Manufacturers Association (18 members make 100 per cent of all appliances) are out to promote a "positive consumer attitude." They agree with a Detroit executive that the economic slump "is a mental disease." Taking an opposite tack from the aggressive selling approach is a four-month "Confidence in a Growing American campaign started late in April.

"We don't say buy the way to prosperity," an Advertising Council executive explains. "We just point out that the future in the U.S. is bright. We're out to build confidence through reason ing." Newspapers, radio, TV, and even theaters, will allot to $20 million in free advertising space and time to spread the seven reasons for faith in the country's future economic stability. They are: more people, more jobs income, more production, more savings, more research and more needs.

Confidence wants to reassure "those who got panicky a few Death Claims John Gadola John Gadola, Pardeesville, proprietor of the J. Gadola Import ing died this morning at the State Hospital.

First blasts are being fired this week with advertisements sponsored by local financial institutions and these will be followed by cooperative newspaper advertising by large and small business houses. Present plans call for a three-weeks program although this may be extended. Later in the month the Retail Merchants will sponsor a "Buy With Confidence" promotion. Year of the Salesman Across the U. S.

this could be the year of the salesman if he works hard enough at beating the consumer bushes with a crowbar. At least, the hard sell is on to persuade recession-hesitant men and women to unloose the purse strings. This way, say the men off Madir son Avenue sidewalks and Detroit's assembly line, "we've cot it licked." Buy what? Well, one of the first and loudest slogans heard through out the land was "You Auto Buy Now." Shop owners are tying in with the idea. The result in cities and towns all over the country is a week, two-week or month retail effort to sell appliances, TV, clothes or food along with cars. And buy with what? Personal savings in the U.S.A.

are at an all-time high, somewhere be- tween 300 and 340 billion dollars, despite current unemployment. Not that manufacturers, or for that matter, President Eisenhower, urges a wild spending spree. But the whole effort, with ban ners, car stickers, speeches and parades has a carnival air.

"Yes, it promises to be a rousing spring," the ANPA Bureau of Advertising in New York reveals happily. "Right now the idea of selling our way to a healthy economy is Industry-Hunting Warned Of Poor HARRISBURG Pennsylvania communities interested in job development should be on the lookout for podr loan risks in attracting new commercial or industrial plants. That's the warning Sidney Ruffin, legal counsel for the Penn sylvania Industrial Development Authority.

He says a firm with an uncertain financial background could lead to "costly pitfalls." John F. Rich, Philadelphia fund-raising expert, said at the close of a two-day industrial development Advertisement Cock-A--Doodle-Doo! We can't help crowing, just a bit, because we dood it again. Yes, Ma'am, yes Sir we sold another house! Nothing remarkable about that, for us, of course. We have been selling houses for over fifty years, and this was just another sale. But If you have a house to sell, or if you are now having trouble selling your house, do the wise thing and give us a call! We dislike saying we are experts, because that phrase is abused and over-used.

But on the other hand, let's face it: if you have been doing something for over fifty years you do learn a little about what you are doing. There's no teacher like experience. We have had plenty of that and we have barked our knuckles and bloodied our noses many times doing the wrong thing. By now, we think, WE KNOW HOW. Our many many house sales seem to prove it.

Floods Menace Southern Areas By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Rain-swollen streams ands riv ers menaced wide areas in four Southern states today, forcing hundreds of persons to leave their homes and causing extensive damage to crops and property.

More rain fell during the night in sections ot West Virginia, southwest Virginia and eastern Kentucky, increasing the threat of further flooding. Overflows from the Red River spilled across sections of northwestern and north-central Louisiana. Damage to crops and property was estimated at 10 million dollars. Two deaths were attributed to the floods in Louisiana. About 100 families already have been evacuated from their homes in the Markesville area, south of Shreve-port.

Gov. Earl Long of Louisiana toured the flooded area yesterday. An undetermined number of families moved out of low-lying homes in the path of the surging Tug River in West Virginia, and in Pikeville, where the Big Sandy river rose two feet above flood level. It was cool in most of the flood belt as well as in areas east of the Mississippi River, with the chilly air extending into extreme northern Florida. Streams To Be Checked By State For Pollution HARRISBURG Rivers and streams over the state will be checked in the near future to determine if they are being kept clean of industrial waste and sewage, the Health Department said today.

At least 227 cities plan to give it the old college try. "Things are going so well," Falasca reports, "it's hard to keep score." Early scores reveal that the Auto Buy Now campaign account ed for 50 million dollars in car sales that wouldn't have been made otherwise. In the heart of auto land, Detroit dealers jumped car registra tions 240 per cent in the first 12 days of a drive and Flint tripled its new car sales. Rain No Deterrent A rainy first week in Akron's drive didn't dampen buyers' enthusiasm; newspaper ads and sales talk sold 1,134 new cars and 885 used ones. The second week new cars and 880 used cars had new owners.

Some come-on specials like reconditioned TVs for are offered, but the main emphasis throughout is on salesmanship. Cities like Piqua, Ohio, decided not to sell cars, but to help weak appliance sales. Manufacturers were persuaded to plug better buy appliances and banks were sold on the idea of financing people who wanted to buy. As a result, appliances moved ahead of a scheduled upturn and (business men talk of making this; a biannual event. The Tri-Cilies of Davenport-Moline-Rock Island reported sales doubled in the first 11 days of a campaign.

Some persops feel that the buying bubble will pop after the parade is over. Sales in a concentrated period borrow from future sales, they say. Communities Risks For Loans clinic here yesterday that communities should take advantage of professional fund-raisers. "Professional fund raisers bring organizational knowledge, a plan of action, timetable skill and day-to-day direction to a campaign," said Rich. Ruffin, in speaking to the group, laid down this six-rule program for industrial groups: 1.

Avoid poor loan risks. 2. Having found a "good risk" industrial prospect, contact the PIDA executive director to learn the mechanics of financing the facility before assuring local donors of lien security. 3. Determine if your local group can be a legally qualified borrower from the PIDA.

4. Do not start construction of the project until all first and second mortgage financing has been arranged and of record. 5. Insist upon reasonable security features in your proposed lease or sales agreement to protest against default. Also, spell out tax and insurance provisions if separate or tied in with rent.

denied at Washington yesterday that bought advertising in a union magazine in order to keep the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor opposed to public power development. Smith rejected the suggestion by Robert Kennedy, counsel for the Senate Rackets Committee, at a hearing here. The probe centered, on the activities of Benjamin Lapensohn, accused of enriching himself for nine years through commissions on advertising sold in "The Pennsylvania Fed-crationist," a now defunct publication. Contributed $3,500 Smith said contributed $3,500 to the magazine from 1950-57. He said company officials believed the federation would use the money for educational purposes and to develop Pennsylvania as an industrial state.

Kennedy also suggested that the utility company made the payments "to avoid unionism or trouble with the AFL." "No," Smith replied. Room Not 'Bugged Kennedy then demanded wheth er Smith had "bugged" with re cording devices a room in the com pany's offices in which a committee's investigator first had quizzed Smith. "Oh, no, sir," Smith said. He insisted that he had relied dn memory alone in writing out a four-page memorandum on yellow paper which McClellan and Kennedy both said read just like a verbatim transcript of what had been said in the room. James MeDevitt, federation president from 1938-54 and now national director of the AFL-CIO Committee on Political Education, said Lapensohn was a year-to-year contract to solicit advertising for 60 per cent of the proceeds.

Admits Complaints He said that although there had been complaints about certain salesmen, they were "cleared up" and he "had no reason to suspect" that Lapensohn was conducting improper activities. Lapensohn has left the country and has been unavailable to Senate subpoenas. Posts $500 Bail On Charge Of Assault A Beaver Meadows man has posted $500 bail for an appearance in Carbon County Court after pleading not guilty to a charge of aggravated assault and battery.
