It was against the Brooklyn Dodgers yesterday. The Cards Svon, 3 to 1, when Kurowski crashed a ninth inning homer, his 17th of the season with two ’ oht. Tile right arm that kept Kurowski from going into the service, had kept him out of the Cardinal lineup recently until the Brooklyn series. Afflicted with osteomylitis when a youngster, his right arm is ■several inches shorter than the other one, and he has recurrent coreness. However, after getting treatments which relieved it, he flew to Brooklyn to take part in the Dodger series. It was a strategic move. He delivered four homers during the four-game set, accounting for six runs. Altogether he batted in six runs during the series. The Phils added to Philadelphia’s bedlam by upsetting the leading Cubs, 2 to 1, Oscar Judd winning a duel over Ray Prim on the strength of Andy Seminick’s homer. Prim yielded only four hits, Judd gave up six. Pittsburgh won two at Boston 7 to 5 and 6 to 2, behind steady pitching by Fritz Ostermueller and Walter (Boom Boom) Beck. Beck, cast off by more teams than he likes to remember, won his fifth game against four losses. The Giants handed Cincinnati its 11th straight defeat at New York, 5 to 2, behind the pitching of Rookie Sal Maglie, making his first start. In the American league, the Senators dropped three and a half games behind the leading Tigers when the, Browns beat them, 5 to 4, at St. Louis. Southpaw Weldcu West, pitching eight innings in relief was the winner. Jim Bagby shut out Boston at Cleveland. 3 to 0, but it was a costly victory for the Indians, who lost their manager Lou Boudrea for several days after a collision in which he suffered a sprained ankie and a spiked leg. New York at Detroit and Philadelphia as Chicago were rained out in the American. Yesterday’s Star — George Kurowski, who’s seventh home run off Brooklyn pitching this year, gave the Cardinals a 2 to 1 victory. 0 Area Rent Director In Decatur Thursday John E. Williams, area rent director, will be at the Decatur post office on Thursday to confer with landlords and tenants on problems which they may wish to bring before him.

Indiana Observes Pacific War End Two-Day Holiday Ordered By Gates Indiana observed the end of the Pacific war with gusto Lust night. And today, her people began a twoday holiday proclaimed by Governor Gates. Persistent rains fell off and on during the evening. But they failed to dampen the- spirits of enthusiastic Hoosiers who celebrated in nearly every village and hamlet in the state. Monument circle in Indianapolis today was a mas® of paper pulp, mixed by thousands of pounding feet in a damp, hours-long celebration at the crossroads of America. The circle in the capital city was a scene of wild rejoicing. War-weary citi2drtAl ’ weW *i“oUnd and round the soldiers’ and sailors’ monument, yelling, shrieking/ and just "milling.” Marines and soldiers with battle ribbons were carried on willing shoulders. An Air Force pilot waving a flag from the lap of a historic Indiana war hero statue brought forth a mighty roar from the crowd. Snake dances were formed. Boys and Girls swam in the monument fountain pools. People paraded, oblivious to the rain, for hours past midnight. Pretty girls were kissed by unknown soldiers, bands played and confetti butterflied from downtown buildings. It was the same scene in other cities. In Fort Wayne, crowds stopped traffic and rockets and flares were shot off. South Bend, Evansville, and Terre Haute had gigantic celebrations. Crowd forced their way into garages, business buildings, and every nook and cranny during the worst showers, only to emerge and join their hardier compatriots who laughed at the rain. The elements cooperated to make the night a success. Lightning and thunder added to the unbelievable effect of a state gone mad. The pent-up emotions of Hoosiers were released in an unparalleled celebration that refused to be hampered by the ironic announcement of the sinking of the cruiser Indianapolis. New Haven Resident Is Drowninq Victim Angola, Ind., Aug. 15 —(UP) — Dan Edward Smith, 32, of New Haven, drowned about 7 p.m. last night on Hamilton Lake.. other men, who were with him in a boat when it capsized were given artificial respiration and survived.

Blue Cross Adopted By Decatur Casting Employes Hospital Service Adopted The non-profit, community sponsored hospital service of the Indiana Blue Cross hospital plan has been adopted by the Decatur Casting company as an answer to the pressing problem of complete hospital service for its employes and their families. H. E. Bromer, manager of the local plant said that Peter E. Rentschler of Hamilton, Ohio vict-pie-schler of Hamilton, Ohio vice-pi’e-of the Ohio Blue Cross plan for Cincinnati, Dayton and Hamilton which has been operating for about 5 years. During that time over $6,000,000 has been paid for hospital service for the; members and therr'famttres:’**' The Blue Cross plan, ip Indiana was inaugurated href November and due to the Widespread interest and support of civic leaders, employers and Indiana hospitals has already passed the 150,000 membership mark. These figures are in keeping with the national growth of the Blue Cross plan, which under the guidance of the American hospital association, ha« already passed the 18,000,000 mark in membership and embraces more than 3,000 hospitals. Any Indiana member is accepted in any of these 3,000 hospitals by simply presenting his Blue Cross membership card. The Indiana Blue Cross offers one of the most comprehensive plans thus far Mr. Bromer said. Nos, only are all hospital services paid for in full but many professional services are likewise furnished. The Adams county memorial hospital is among the more than 300 Indiana hospitals participating in the plan. 0 Rainbow, a town in Texas, got its name when the sun came out during a rainstorm while a group of citizens was meeting to pick a suitable name for their new city. 0 GEN. MacARTHUR (Continued From Page One) over, the enemy has begun to employ a new and most cruel bomb, the power of which to do damage is indeed incalculable, taking the toll of many lives.” Japan, he continued, had declared war only for her own self preservation, “It being far front our thoughts either to infringe upon the sovereignity of other nations or to embark upon territorial aggrandizement,” He did not mention Pearl Harbor. Hirohito’s radio address, first ever made by a Japanese emperor,,

also wag his last as a free agent. MacArthur takes over now. *'l thank God,” said the general in Manila when informed that the war was over. "I shall at once take steps to stop hostilities ami further bloodshed.” Here at home the brakes clamped screaming on the war effort. Mr. Truman announced Japan's defeat at 6 p. in. All war freight en route to United States ports was halted at 6:33 p. m.. CWT. Troop trains continued moving. The President ordered selective from 80,000 to 50,000 a month. Congress was called back to meet Sept. 5. War manpower controls were abolished and a free labor market prevailed one’s more. Rationing quickly wilt be relaxed—gasoline, tires, shoes and some foods first. Mr. Truman estimated that from ! 5,000,000 to 5,500,00 (M> men will I be released from the army within the next 12 to 18 months. Johnny lis coming home. So far there are ■no- ■figures tor- the navy. But the navy cut $6,000,000,000 ■ frorti prime contracts in one stroke. That reduced projected naval spending plans by almost $10,000,000,000 (B) in the past few days. Events of the pest fortnight built up to an enormous climax. Officialdom said V J day would await formal proclamation. The people made their own decision on that. For 24 hours and more they celebrated, first in the far Pacific where it was daytime when Japan’s 1:49 a. m. EWT surrender flash was heard Tuesday morning. WAR'S END IS HAILED (Continued From Page One) but it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the merry-makers and joy of the celebrants. Others, in a more solemn mood, found solace in wending their way to their church to give thanks to God that the end of Iwstilities, bombings and killing had come to an end. Second street became the public square for pedestrian and vehicle and local police kept a watchful eye to prevent accidents. Boys and girls rode on fenders and atop of autos, and yelled and sang. They were happy and wanted to let the world know about it. The confetti and paper barrage started and Second street was ;strewn with a litter that resembled the wake of the greatest celebration ever held in the city. This morning .the state highway erew was on the job and before 9 o’clock had removed all evidence of the paper cyclone. The street, was spic and span, and ready for more celebrations. The crowd milled along the street past midnight and held until the wee morning hours. It was not a destructive assembly and the police let young and old have- their fun, trusting that no one would get hurt. Decatur had a right to celebrate. Through the war years this community said good-bye to and saw nearly 2,500 of its gallant sons and daughters leave for army or navy service. Now, they soon would be coming home! The thought was spell binding. Then too, the person back home also appreciates the heroic and unselfish service of the man in uniform, his exploits having added luster to the glorious page of local history. Factory and war workers who have stayed on the job the past four years also deserved’ a respite from arduous work. They joined the crowd and cheered and cheered, tor "victory had come.” IT'S NO FUN TO BREAK A LEG or to suffer any serious accident, But recovery is much more pleasant, and certainly less expensive, if you have Accident Insurance to pay the bills. Costs only a few cents a day. Ask about it. THE SUTTLES CO. Agents Niblick Store Bldg. . Cannecdau tin Aiil
