Prosecutor Details Hodge Shielding Aide In Million Dollar Scandal
Sangamon County prosecutors allege Hodge shielded someone as 46 indictments follow a grand jury probe into fraudulent cashing of state warrants. The case expands after a Chicago federal grand jury charged Edward Hintz and Edward Epping in a $872,000 bank deposit mishandling. Hodge claimed responsibility and said he bought bad investments to fund campaigns, while admitting hazy details on warrant cashing.

Cotton Bale Bands To Be Salvaged In Short Supply
Southeast cotton men met in Charlotte to plan salvaging bale ties and buckles due to a steel strike. They urged immediate release to ginners to prep for the 1956 crop, with an estimated 40 percent of needed supply. The shortage stems from the Birmingham strike last April and a later national steel dispute. Representatives from the National Cotton Council and related associations attended.
