He may also split his vote 12 for each of his party's two candidates if he votes a "straight" party ballot. TO SUCCESS eLs3 A.

SO BOTII challenger and titlist now have 10 years experience on the job to support their pleas. Both look optimistically to the voters final decision. Indications are that the race will be close.

A confused clue as to how close can perhaps be inferred from pri mary balloting in the nine-county 25th Congressional District. The area includes Alexander, Franklin, Jackson, Monroe, Perry, Pulaski, Randolph, Union, and Williamson counties. Democratic ballots in the congressional primary outnumbered Republican votes by 9,102 (D 53,762, Bishop, however beat his nearest Republican opponent by 15,030 votes, whereas Keller gained a mere 1,163 plurality over his closest Democratic rival. If, then, the voters go into the finals and vote the straight party ticket, on the basis of the primary turnout Keller would get the nod. But how- the disgruntled voters the primary will vote remains who backed losing candidates in the unknown quantity of the election.

Keller can probably count on Alexander, Franklin and Williamson counties which supported him in the 194S campaign by pluralities of 380, 2S3, and 491, respectively. In the same year, Bishop swept the remaining six counties to win votes. Bishop has consistently rolled i.A' nf votes in lip laifcC Jackson, Monroe: and Williamson 'counties. IK THEIR campaigns, both 'men arc urging repeal of the Taft-Hartley act. Bishop is the only Republican representative from Illinois who voted against the measure.

Both candidates have spoken out vigorously against Communism and unemployment in Southern Illinois. Keller is for extension of the Tennessee Valley authority program into Southern Illinois whereas Bishop voted against a bill to provide TVA power to Cairo and surrounding areas. Bishop says he was responsible for the transfer of Crab Orchard lake project to the Department of InteriorKeller claims that he was responsible for the Crab Orchard lake project. Keller's supporters point proudly Alice. to the big Dnase kcinni nt Cairo, and to the many courthouse and postoffice buildings erected during the 30's when Keller got PWA funds for the district out of the New Deal program.

BOTII MEN have had varied careers. Bishop is a former tailor coal miner, lineman, pro football and baseball player, city clerk and postmaster. Keller has been a farmer, lawyer, state senator, editor and author. He was graduated from Southern Illinois university in Carbon-dale, studied at Heidelberg university in Germany, and mined ex-, tensively in Mexico for awhile. The current campaign may hinge on the question of relative ages: Keller is 83, Bishop is 60.

Some Democratic leaders admit privately that many voters will balk at sending -an octogenarian to the nation's capital. Keller can point, however, to a number of precedents for putting an older man at the helm; for example, Great Britain's former minister William E. Gladstone. Gladstone was also-83-y ears-old in 1892 when he was sworn in for the third time as the King's first minister. Singapore Export Guarantees Asked SINGAPORE (AP) The British Government is "reported to have asked the Singapore government to consider guaranteeing Malayan produce exports to the United States with a view to increasing the colony's dollar earnings.

McNeilly, Tamms. 4 New Silicone HI Kitchen Magic Imagine cleaning a frying pan easy as a glass. Picture a roaster you can wash as simply as a tea cup. Feature smooth-as-glass surfaces on all the pots, pans, roasters and broilers in your kitchen! Fantastic, the new silicone kitchen compound, can work miracles like this for you. Just rub Pantastic thoroughly over the surface of any 4.

utensil and this wonder-liquid prevents scorched or cooled cooked food from sticking to both glass and metal surfaces. It ends the need for toilsome scouring, banishes "dishpan dispositions" from your kitchen, and reduces the chore of washing pots and pans to just a soak, a wipe and a rinse. Best of all, Pantastic is absolutely harmless, odorless, tasteless and invisible. Silicone chemistry has developed Pantastic a miracle finish that's unaffected by heat or cold. It permits your iron to glide effortlessly over all of your work, without sticking, even on heavily starched fabrics.

It prevents ice cubes from sticking to ice trays, allows you to pop gelatin from molds without soaking them first. You can even use it to make snow-shovcling easier when winter comes; to simplify the cleaning of tarnish and stains from silver; brass and copper ornamental surfaces; and to serve you as a protective coating wherever your ingenuity suggests. Pantastic actually does provide an extra surface a thin, microscopic, moisture repellent film. When applied to thoroughly-cleaned surfaces, this film protects them through many, many usings. The same wonderful ability to prevent food-stick makes Pantastic ideal for greaseless cooking.

In a frying pan that has been first thoroughly cleaned, then treated with Pantastic, you can fry most foods with less grease some foods with no grease. Fantastic, yes and a great boon to all who must obey fat-free diet restrictions. This modern kitchen miracle is certified by the U. S. Testing Company; and guaranteed by the Good Housekeeping Institute.

The average loss per farm fire in Illinois for 1944-4S was $2,400. Never try to unclog, adjust, oil, grease or clean a corn picker while it is running; play it safe and avoid accidents. E. Wonder c. w.

Policemen who walked out and locked up their station 73 days ago are back at the same old stand.

Yehezkel Sahar, inspector of police, said the present arrangement was temporary.

He added that the government had now allocated funds for providing adequate hous- ing for police officers. Beersheba has a population of more than 6,000.

"Most Canadians sell their good manuscripts to American markets and they should write accordingly. Americans have a freer manner of expression," she says.

S. prosperity still produces a strong demand for beef. But the supply has not kept -up with the demand, says the U. S. De-pal ement of Agriculture.

Main cause, the department says, is the fact that it takes a long time to build up a breeding herd to produce more beef. Many growers are now building up their herds. To do it they must hold back calves that might be sold for beef to add to those herds. Thus, attempts to get more beef actually reduce the supply. The department thinks it will be many months before supplies in the United States are adequate.
