Strangers in Town -tourists are always fascinating, for places they've been, places they come from, and Wheat men to Polls Tomorrow Dixie Detour On Rights Bill the the oddball dlothes some of them You can have an interesting time just talking to tourists, and it is a little surprising how anxious they are to talk. Surprising, that is, until you recall how gabby you get with perfect strangers vyhen you are on a trip.

Like the fellow at the motel yesterday evening. He had hardly settled in his chair before he was tiling me about his trip Washington, D.C., to pick up his 12-year-old nephew. The boy's parents were being divorced, and before long we learned what a heel his father is, how long-suffering his mother had been; and several other details of family life that normally are confined to Dr. Crane's column. Then you can overhear some insights on the natives too.

This morning, for example, a young couple from New York crossed her skirts billowing in the Vrind, once blowing up to her face. 'Well, you see, honey," her companion explained, "people out here don't wear clothes like that. You gotta dress for the country you're'in. In the Gutter Among olher sights you would miss if you drive instead of walk to work Sybil Miller, the Mayor's spouse, and son, Bill, in the gutter of the porch roof, cleaning out elm trees which had taken root there, Plumbing Probe Eavesdropped this morning on a conversation between the city manager and the school about plumbing. It was coincidence that one of M.

the heated debates: at, the base if ball game last night was whether tihe toilets at- Clint Lightner field are in worse condition than those at Penrose stadium. The stadium won, by a nose. So this conversation was how to improve sewer, dressing room and toilet facilities at Penrose field a project Dr. Leroy Hood said'the school board has underway for the summer at least as much' as can be accomplished on this year's budget. This is good news.

The next inning is up to Deaoe Wiley. A man who could get.a sewage disposal plant across should be to swing a little item like the Lightner field facilities. Small Share in Big Letting In the largest contract award session ever held by the Kansas State Highway commission bids totaling $5,910,221 have been approved. Only a small parcel was for the 6th division of Southwest Kansas. Bid Wings are building up to the greatest highway con-, struction year in Kansas history, Lynn R.

BMrick, director of highways, said today. Work yesterday for this division was limited to work by county forces in Hamilton and Seward counties and amounting to approximately $42,000. In Hamilton county, work was approved for two miles of grading and culverts at an estimated cost of $3,845 and H-86 miles of as- phaltic surface at a cost of $38417. Eleven Join 'Gallon Club' Eleven blood donors became members of the Gallon Club when WASHINGTON UP) The Agricultural, Department will hold a referendum tomorrow in which probably less than one-fourth of the affected growers will decide whether rigid federal controls will be continued on the 1958 wheat crop. Officials estimated that about 950,000 growers in 36 wheat-growing states will be eligible to cast ballots.

But on the basis of past referendums, the chances are that only a small fraction of the farm ers will vote. In a similar referendum a year a.go, 261.000 votes were cast. Of this number 228,000 or 87. per cent favored marketing quotas oft, this year's crops. Approval by at least two-thirds of those voting is required to make controls operative.

Quotas, which have been in effect on wheat since 1954, are designed to limit sales to the quantity produced on 55 million acres alloted growers under a crop control law. The restrictions are authorized as one means of presenting over-production when surpluses exist. When quota referendums first were authorized in 1938, there was a relatively large turnout of farmers. But as the controls became more and more of a normal pro duction pattern, the number of farmers voting has declined. In the first referendum held on 1941 560,000 farmers voted, or twice as many as cast iallots last year.

Officials said field reports indicate that tomorrow's election might be close because of strong opposition to controls in the. southwestern plains when replenished soil moisture supplies provide the base for possible big wheat crops next year, and in the Pacific Northwest where there is no shortage of the particular type of train grown there. But officials expected a heavy turnout of "yes" votes in the upper plains, particularly in the Dakotas and Minnesota, where the National Farmers' Union has waged a vigorous campaign for the controls. This organization has warned of a possible sharp drop in wheat prices if the quotas arc defeated. Ready for Vote Here Finney county wKfiat growers will cast their referendum votes at seven polling places.

Polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., and farmers must vote in the communities in which they reside. Polling places for county townships: Garden City and Pleasant Valley, court house. East Garfield, Kalvesta school. West Garfield, Theoni school.

Russell (D-Ga) to refer the House-passed civil rights bill to the Senate Judiciary' Committee was blocked in te Senate today by bipartisan objections.

The objections were raised by Republican leader Knowland (Calif) and Sen. Douglas (D-I11). This will put off until tomorrow a second reading of the bill, a necessary preliminary to an expected motion by Knowland to place the bill directly on the calendar where any senator can move to call it up at any time. Knowland's move, supported by some Northern Democrats, is aimed at bypassing the Senate Judiciary Committee, where a companion civil rights bill has been stalled for nearly six months.

Pfanneri'Stiel, 48. janitor a Catholic 1 sisters convent at Munjor, died in a Hays hospital from injuries suffered in an ex- losion, believed caused by an accumulation of gas, at the convent Monday night.

Two Catholic priests, the Rev. Cornelius Heim and the Rev. Brice Schratz, both on the staff of St. Joseph's Military Academy suffered in the blast. The explosion occurred as the three started to enter the convent to inspect flood damage.

The Rev. Anselm of the academy, who was on the convent porch at the time, also was injured. He was expected to be released from the hospital today. Four nuns who live at the convent had been evacuated to Hays when the flood waters hit. The fourth death from the flood was that of an unidentified tran- siejit who had asked for lodging in the Ellis jail and drowned when the jail was flooded.

Jaggard Quits School Job Robert Jaggard, Garden City schools agent, has resigned from the position, Superintendent Dr. Leroy Hood announced today. The resignation will be effective on July 3, he stated. Jaggard, who has been with the school for the past four years, just recently opened and is operating Bob's Root Beer stand at the corner of 3rd and Kansas. The resignation was prompted so he could devote full time to his private business, Jaggard said.

The purchasing agent's job is not under contract. i He plans to remain in Garden City "indefinitely." A successor has not yet been named. latest disarmament proposals are a hopeful sign deserving of the most earnest and sympathetic study. Eisenhower told a news conference he is not suggesting that the United States should agree to any unlimited and unconditional suspension of atomic weapons tests. Both the United States and Russia would have to know exactly what was going on under any suspension program, EEisenhower said.

His remarks were a comment on the Soviet Union's recent proposal for an. internationally supervised ban on atomic weapons tests. On the same subject, Eisenhower said forcefully that Harold E. Stas'sen, his disarmament adviser, wa not reprimanded when he returned from London talks briefly last week. There was some feeling, Eisenhower said, that Stassen had been rushing ahead too fast.

But he added he certainly does not feel Stassen's ruined. usefulness has been Disarmament is a very complex, delicate matter, Eisenholer said, and it is necessary to call sometimes for was the case when Stassen was asked to return negotiators home consultation. He added that The president also discussed: Supreme Court's recent series of decisions dealing with individual rights are being studied carefully by the Justice Department, he said, to determine whether there should be any fur- thr tests of the laws involved. Eisenhower had been asfced whether he thought courf had gone too far in protecting individual rights, at the expense of the law enforcement procedures and the investigative functions of Congress. i.

"But when they took my seven books of trading stamps I got she complained. "I licked every stamp myself." In response to a question, Eisenhower said he would be willing to have the United States inter into a temporary agreement for suspension of atomic tests while efforts are continued to achieve a "package" disarmament pact cov ering much more ground. KISHI Noting that Japan's Prime Minister Nobusuke Kism 1 was arriving at the White House ater in the day for a series of e'en- rerences, Eisenhower said both he and Secretary of State Dulles are looking forward to these negotiations.

This was Eisenhower's first news conference since he was stricken with a stomach upset June 9-10. He joked about the illness at one point and appeared to in the best of spirits.

The session with newsmen, was one. of the most lightly attended of any Eisenhower has held since taking office. There probably were two reasons: 1. The intense heat. It was 87 degrees outside, and it seemed at boiling temperature in the conference room, which is not air conditioned.

The President said that in soma form or other this country's plus foods should be useful in developing foreign policy for a long time to come. Eisenhower said ha was talking facetiously in remarking to Republican members of Congress at a White House breakfast that it might be a good idea to turn over the government postal service to a private company.

Asked whether there is anything to report that he is plaft- ning to send a new farm program to Congress next year, Eisenhower replied that every week soma new presentation is made at Cabinet meetings for study. MILITARY PAY Eisenhower said emphatically he is for recommendations by a study commission calling for increased pay to certain young officers and specialists in the armed forces. But he said that he is decidedly against those recommendations being used as a wedige to provide a general pay hike throughout the government. HEALTH A reporter asked what the President thought about when he was hit by illness 10 days ago.

With a broad grin, Eisenhower said he wished it were possible for him to have a minor illness without creating what he called these disturbances. Then, Eisenhower chuckled and said that when you do have a little upset like he had a week ago Monday, your mind certainly is diverted. Wins Scholarship MANHATTAN, Kas.
