WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 1968 ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH PAGE Viewers Protest Removal Of Garrison's Gorillas CLARKE WILLIAMSON Readers are "ape" over "Garrison's Gorillas." They strongly protest ABC's removal of it. But they agree wholeheartedly about discontinuing "Dream House." Here's the way TOP VIEWers voted on ABC's decision to axe the following (percentages favor keeping): Garrison's Gorillas, 72.9 Cowboy in Africa, 84.7 Second Hundred Years, 59.0 The Invaders, St.8 Off to See the Wizard, 47.9 Dream House, 28.3 READERS SPEAK Dear TOP VIEW: We get far too much news coverage of assassinations. The news media repeats itself and all TV channels cram it into everybody's home. One channel should cover the whole thing and only one. Other channels should have regular programming so people would not have to put up with boring details.

Robert Hoi- lenbeck, Indio, Calif. Dear TOP VIEW: I'm certainly interested in national events, but I don't have to be told why I should mourn a great person's passing or shown grieving relatives. Can't they suffer in private? Can't the major national TV stations get together so one station would handle this? A compromise between the major networks would be a masterpiece of arbitration, a reward to all mankind. Rat ings for all stations would positively SOAR! Pat Clayton, Blythe, Calif.

Among some of the high multiple glamor stocks, part of the strength was attributed to precautionary short covering prior to the four-day gap in trading. The markets will be closed for Independence Day and also Friday.

Short covering is the purchase of shares to replace stock borrowed and sold short in the hope that a future decline would enable the buyer to purchase replacement stock at a lower price, thus making a profit. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks at noon was up 2.6 at 343.4 with industrials up 2.9, rails up 2.8 and utilities up .4. U.S. Industries became the most-active stock when it was traded on a block of 138,900 shares at 33, off Later the stock cut a point from its loss. Wall Streeters noted that the market usually shows strength in early July as it mounts the "traditional summer rally." Prices advanced on the American Stock Exchange.

The principal factors in the decline was a generally tired feeling by longs, those who expect prices to make a sizable advance, a small grains report indicating that all crops are in excellent growing condition and an apparent slowdown in export trade. Soybean meal and soybean oil prices were weak and this reflected, to a degree, on soybeans prices. Wheat was to cent a bushel lower, July 1.25%; corn was to lower, July 1.10%; oats were to lower, July cents; rye was to lower, July 1.09% and soybeans were to lower, July 2.65%.

Pamela Hartnett, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William 1 Hartnett, 818 Spruce Alton, was playing in Haskell Park Tuesday evening when the incident occurred. Alton police remanded 16- year-old Richard Mihalich, son of Mr. and Mrs.

Rudolph Mihalich, 820 Spruce Alton, to a juvenile officer. Mihalich will be.required to appear before juvenile authorities, Saturday, in connection with the incident. In other police action vandalism was reported at the baseball diamond of East Junior High School, where the base bags were ripped with a knife and the contents thrown across the A construction site in the area of Belt Line Highway and Seminary Street, was also vandalized recently. A major step toward improved and more efficient service in an 11-state midwestern area occurred today with the merger of the Chicago Great Western Railway and the Chicago and North Western Railway. The long-awaited merger, first proposed in 1964, will consolidate the facilities and operations of the Great Western and the North Western.

Ben W. Heineman, chairman of the North Western, said the merger is "an important move toward the development of a strong regional transportation system that will contribute to and keep pace with the economic growth of the Middle West. One objective is to meet the modern requirements of hundreds of shippers and communities by building a healthy regional rail system which will also enhance the importance of the midwestern transportation gateways." For hundreds of midwestern shippers and communities along the combined lines the merger will mean improvements in rail service, according to Larry S. Provo, North Western's president. Provo said that to North Western's shippers the merger will bring benefits of direct, more efficient service to points on the Great Western where the North Western presently does not operate, particularly to Kansas City, an important gateway to the south and southwest.

Conversely, Great West ern shippers will have substantially expanded single line serv ice to all points on the nine state North Western system, es pecially in Wisconsin, Nebraska South Dakota and Wyoming. Under the combined opera tion, new freight service on regular schedules Will go into ef feet between Kansas City and Minnesota's Twin Cities, Kansa City and Chicago and many other midwestern points. Provo explained that service at least 10 hours faster than provided by either of the roads separately will be oper ated between Chicago and sas City. The service, he said, will be coordinated with North Western's extensive operations between Chicago, Milwaukee, Green Bay and the industrial Fox River Valley of Wisconsin. He said this will result in ex- editing service by approximately 24 hours to and from Kansas City for North Western nippers in Wisconsin.

Also, Provo said, new through egular service between Kansas and Minnesota's Twin Cities be at least 10 hours faster han presently provided by either of the two roads, while serv- ce between Des Moines and the Twin Cities will be expedited by about six hours. Kansas City, St. Joseph, as well as Des Moines will receive more frequent service designed make important connections with other lines at all gateways served by the merged roads. The entry into Kansas City by the North Western which serves a substantial grain producing area should enhance the )osition of Kansas City as an mportant grain market center," said Provo. "At the same time, because North Western serves every major western terminal port on the St.

Lawrence Sea- w'ay, which includes other major grain marketing centers, will be new foreign trade possibilities for Kansas City and other points presently served by the Great Western."

LEUBSDORF Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Some advisers to Vice President Hubert Humphrey are urging abandonment until fall of any effort to drum up big campaign crowds. And some lackluster performances during a seven-day Western trip "have their argument strengthened These advisers say, in private conversations, that it takes too much effort at this stage of the campaign to bring out tbe kind of crowds considered large enough to make a good impres sion. They (eel Humphrey should concentrate now on discussing issues and winning national con phrey's visit were conspicuously unsuccessful, In both places, despite buildups, fewer than 500 persons greeted Humphrey at the airports, and other crowds along his way were even smaller. In Cleveland, a visit by Humphrey to antlpoverty projects wound up half an hour ahead of schedule, something most unusual for Humphrey, largely because of the small crowds. Democratic leaders in the predominantly Democratic city expressed concern about the lack of enthusiasm, which was also seen later In the day when venUon delegates.

In Denver last Wednesday and again In Cleveland Monday and Tuesday, efforts by local Democratic leaders to stir up popular enthusiasm for Hum' might go Republican this November unless Democrats made differences with Nixon, whom he party workers started drifting away from a reception even wnile Humphrey was still sneaking. Former Rep. John K. Gilli gan, the Democratic senatorial nominee who aceompaneic Humpbrey on Ms rounds, told reporters he feared tbe state viible their Richard M. called the likely Republican residential nominee.

Humphrey, however, was in his usual good spirits as he responded to a series of antagonis- ic questions from members of he City Club after he had outlined his program for revitalizing American cities. In response to a question about whether be would support Sen- Eugene J. Me earthy if tbe Minnesota senator defeated him for tbe party's presidential nom ination, be replied "I am a Democrat and I will support tbe nominee of my party." He added not everyone bad taken such a stand. When asked about tbe possibility of debating McCarthy before tbe Democratic National Convention, he said with a laugh that while "I may have to ac- him I really have too apartment was much affection for him" to want to defeat him in a debate. "I'm saving up my ammunition for Richard Nixon." Mean Coon Bites Man, Woman, Dog AZUSA, Calif.

In early April of this year, Laclede, with the cooperation of the Alt in National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People launchel the first hard core em-' ploymeit program for the area.

The first program was a 90-day effort which terminated on June 30. A Laclede spokesman a i "The results have been really gratifying. We were able to recruit about 65 applicants and out of that group 10 were ready to start work at our Alton plant immediately; 25 did not meet the physical requirements 'or were not interested and 30 entered the training program. "Of that group of 30, only six have dropped out. That is a better than 80 per cent retention good under the best of circumstances." The Lanlede spokesman was highly complimentary of the contributions made by the Training Corporation of America in the employment program.
