Will Experiment
With Credit Selling
NEW YORK, UPy—J. C. Penney '
Co., one of the country’s largest!
retail merchandise firms, plans to
experiment with credit selling
next year.
Since its foundation in 1902 the
company has been strictly a cash- |
and-carry business. It wil try !
credit selling in only four or five !
of its 1,691 stores. Location of the
stores was not named.
A. W. Hughes, president, said
Wednesday the main factor in in
fluencing the chain’s decision was '
the change in attitude toward i
credit in the past generation.
Credit, Hughes said, is now re
garded as a mark of character
rather than a sign of Inability to
pay. He also nated there now are
greatly improved facilities for
checking and handling credit.

President Urged
To Approve Bills
For Feds’ Raise
WASHINGTON, I*—,Sen. Olin
D. Johnston (D-SC) yesterday
urged President Eisenhower to
approve bills proposing $850 mil
lion in pay boosts for IV2 million
federal government workers “and
put to rest cnce and for all the
vicious rumors of a pocket veto.”
Johnston, chairman of the Sen
ate Post Office and Civil Service
Committee, made public a letter
to the President in which he said
there were rumors Eisenhower
plans to let the pay bill die now
and push a pay, raise “next year
because of it being an election
year.”
Just before it adjourned, Con
gress, by an overwhelming vote in
both houses, passed the proposed
average increases of $546 a year
for 500,000 postal workers and
average increases of 11 percent
for another million classified civil
service employes.
Rep. Ress (R-Kan), senior Re
publican on the House committee
1 handling these bills, already has
1 introduced a substitute calling for
I a lower average increase of 6 per
'■ cent. He predicted the bills now
j before the President will not be
1 come law.
Unless the President signs them
by midnight, Sept. 9. they auto
matically die under what, is called
the pocket veto.
Deg Routs Robber
To Protect His Mistress
DETROIT, (jB—Mrs. Charles
Livington’s nervy little dog is her
great hero.
The dog, Tex, a 4-year-old
mixed breed, routed an armed
j robber to protect his mistress
yesterday—at the cost of his life.
Mrs. Livington, manager of an
apartment building, opened the
door to a man who said he wanted
to make a deposit on an apart
ment.
Once inside, the man pulled a
gun and demanded money.
At that moment Mrs. Living
ton’s husband returned home.
The robber braced himself, his
back to the door, and, as Mrs. Liv
ingston seized his arm, Tex
sprang at the man. The dog sank
his teeth in the man’s arm. The
robber shot Tex in the back, freed
himself and escaped past Mrs.
Livington’s husband.
