said he expects the Eisenhower
boom to lose ground because of the
"possible failure” of the European
defense program.
Meanwhile, the magazine U. S.
News and World Report said Eisen
hower has turned down Democratic
offers to be their presidential can
didate and will gamble on his
chances of winning the Republican
nomination.
The weekly news magazine said
it based its statement; on a “can
vass of various persons who have
a first-hand knowledge of the sub
ject.”
Young emphasized that he holds
the State Department, not Eisen
hower, “responsible” for the pos
sible breakdown of the European
rearmament program.
Recently returned from a Euro
pean tour, Young was sharply criti
cal of some of this country’s allies

The magazine said its informa

attributed to Krock.
It said Eisenhower, in rejecting

Laurens, Dec. 14.-—Completion of
new bulk feed and grain storage
bins with capacity of around 700,000
bushels, was announced this week
by C. D. Waldrep, president and
manager of Carolina Milling Com
pany, which built the structure.
The $33,000 improvement which
towers 70 feet high, more than
doubles the capacity of the former
plant, Mr. Waldrep said, and means
vastly improved service for the
agricultural interests throughout
this section. * The local" firm manu
factures a wide variety of livestock
and poultry feeds widely distribut
ed in South Carolina, Georgia and
North Carolina. %
Construction of the addition at
the milling concern has been in
progress since May. The structure
consists of 12 grain storage bins
and nine bins for bulk feed in
gredients. A set of automatic two-
ton weighing scales have been in
stalled on a track to service all the
bulk ingredient 'bins.
According to plant officials, the
new facilities will greatly expe
dite' the handling and production of
feed products and permit the com
pany to serve a broader market
than ever before. “We believe it is
a distince economic asset to the city
of Laurens and to fanners of Lau
rens county and is another step in
the growth of Laurens as a market
center for farm products,” Mr. Wal
drep said.
"Carolina Milling Co., was es
