FASCISTS ARE REPORTED AS BEING ACTIVE — Report French Fascists Seeking To Undermine government (Copyright 1936 by VP.) Paris, Oct. 5. (U.R>—French fascists, pursuing a new line of attack against the left front government, are trying to undermine the loyalty of the national police force, it was reported in reliable quarters today. As part of the campaign, they began today a fierce attack on the regular police forces and at the same time appeared to be trying to win to their cause the crack mobile guards, corps de’elite of the national tiolice who constitute the shock troops against disorderly elements. To meet the threat that loyalty of some of the law and order j forces may be undermining, the , government, it was learned, began i quietly shifting key men in the i armed forces. The new turn to the fascist attacks was accompanied by reports ! I that the smuggling of arms into, France from Switzerland was directly due to fascists. Rumors that have developed from this place of fascist activity caused Bishop Maurice du Bourg, of Marseilles, to send a circular letter to newspaper edi i tors denying that churches and convents in his diocese were being I used as fascist arms depots in (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) o FIVE PERSONS SLIGHTLY HURT Five Slightly Hurt As Bus And Truck Collide On Bridge Rive persons were injured Sunday night at 8:15 o’clock, when a! truck driven by Richard Barens.

RECEIPTS MORE THAN ESTIMATE I County, City Receive More Than Estimate From Gas Tax .: Receipt of gasoline tax distribu- | tiona for 1936 are higher than the ■ estimates made for the year, accordI ing to the actual payments received 1 by Adams county and the city of 1 Decatur. Checks for the October difltribu- ; tion have Iren received by the tax- . ing unite and the payments run I higher than the amounts estimated [a year ago. which wdl increase the I general funds of the cities, towns 1 and counties in the state. 1 Adams county has received $97.433.55 from the state distribution. /County Treasurer Jeff Liechty stated. The estimate furnished the cotini ty when the 1936 budget was comi piles! in September 1935 was $86,450. ’j The city of Decatur, with the 1 October payment has received $5.- | 862j78. The estimate in this year’s l budget is $5,200 and that amoiin' ' was appropriated, the increase of I $662.78, resulting to the general fund. The increased number of auto I licenses and the heavier sa'e of gasI j oline during the year is accountII able for the increas 'd payments. Both ‘he county and city of DeI cautr credit four payments of the | tax on the books. Last January's j payment is credited to the 1936 budI get, while next January's payment, which includes the tax for the last .

COUNTY BOARD i CHANGES PLANS i Change Is Made By Com* : missioners In Welfare Room The county commissioners today decided to make a change in the plans for the remodeling of the I basement room in the cour' house for the new county welfare board. The plans called for a stairs to the ground extending 16 feet. The board decided to reduce this length ' to eight feet which would make it ■ the same size as that for the ladies j rest room. This reduction will save the coun- ! ty approximately $l5O. | Although the only bid on the improvement was more than the estimate and appropriation, the com- ' missioners plan to go ahead with the project. The additional funds ■ will be obtained from the appropriation for the repair of the court ■ house. The commissioners today allowed ; the c’aims for the last calendar , month. ' Tuesday the board will examine t’bids on furniture for the county ■ welfare board, supplies for the counity infirmary and other items need- | ed by the county. POST OFFICE ‘ SHOWS GAIN Third Quarter Receipts Show Decided Gain Over 1935 Postmaster Phil Macklin and his assistants have just c ompleted their report for the third quarter of the year, showing a gain over the same quarter of last year of $1,146.78. Postoffice receipts are always indicative of general conditions and the showing made the last quarter is indicative of the trend for the past three years. Total receipts in 1932 for the Decatur ipostoffice were $22,815.95. In 1933 this advanced to $23,732.66. in 19J34 to $25,115.87 and in 1935 to $26,971.55. The steady increase and added $4,000 in postoffice receipts for last year compared to 1932 is evidence of improvement in business generally. During this year the receipts by quarters have 'been: first quarter, $7,216.10, second quarter $7,365.54 and third $6,966. 62, a total so tar this year of $21,514.26 or almost as much as the entire year of 1932. —n — ■ i Huntington Woman Injured In Fall Mrs. Perry Snowden of Huntington, a delegate to the distret meetI ing of the Women of the Moose held in this city Sunday, was injured in a fall at the Moose hall early Sunday afternoon.
