Old West Uncrowned Stetson to Halt Hat Making
The John B. Stetson Co plans to stop producing hats early in 1971, ending a 105 year run. A Philadelphia spokesman cited declining hat use and feasibility as key factors. The move follows a 1989 fiscal year loss of $824,155 on sales of $12.69 million. Notable figures linked to Stetson history include editor Bill Collyns of Midland Texas and AFL-CIO Local 60 president John W. McGraw, a longtime employee.

Gray Fox of Vienna cash cache found in Powell estate
A cache of $800000 in cash was found hidden in Paul Powell's Springfield apartment after his death. Executor Rendleman said most bills were $100s with some higher denominations, stored in a locked closet, shoe box, brief cases, and strong boxes. Internal Revenue and Illinois tax officials were notified. Powell, a longtime Illinois Democrat, was nicknamed the Gray Fox of Vienna for his shrewd political influence despite repeated scandals.
