Campbell Ineligible For Police Position Schricker Seeking State Police Head Indianapolis, Dec. 18—(PU)~ Governor-elect Henry F. Schricker looked around today for another man to appoint as Indiana state police superintendent. His first choice, Arthur Campbell of Indianapolis, whom Schricker appointed Thursday, was found yesterday to be ineligible. Campbell lacked the number of years of police or military experience required by a 1945 state law. Schricker said he was disappointed. Campbell would have been a good superintendent, he said. But the former governor said it was an "honest fhistake.” The law requires a state police superintendent to have five years of experience as a police executive or in the military. Campbell had three years military service in World tVar 1 and no police experience. Findling Resigns Indianapolis, Dec. 18—(UP)— | Robert Findling stepped down today as Porter county Democratic chairman after heading off a hear-' ing on charges of inefficiency and negligence brought against him by] his precinct leaders. Findling handed in his resignation yesterday as a hearing on the charges opened before the Democratic state committee. State chairman Ira Haymaker said the resignation was accepted [ with the agreement by Findling that he would "not hold or seek any | office in the Democratic party for a period of four years.” Findling was accused in the peti-1 tion with "neglect of duty, violation i of the rules of the Democratic ■ party, violation of Indiana election laws, and failure to cooperate with j other party leaders for the best interests of the party.” The petition said he directed a “course of procedure which creat-' ed dissension in the party, created ’ confusion within the county organization,” and that his actions were "detrimental” to candidates running for office last Nov. 2. VITAL (Cont. From Page One) as well as messages within the I state department. Mundt said the unAmerican ac-, tivities committee may hear for-1 mer assistant secretary of stale Francis B. Sayre and his secretary, Anna Helle Newcomb, oifi Monday. He said their testimony wi.l probably be taken behind closed doors because the committee wants to question Sayre on 'he security techniques in effect alien he was in the state department. "We do not want to make that public," he said. Sayre was Hiss' superior in 1927 and 1938—the period when Hiss allegedly stole confidential docti- 1 ments for Chambers.

NO PAIN TO CANCER ITSELF It is a strange and little known fact about cancer that the disease Itself is entirely without pain, according to eminent health authorities. As soon as an organ of the body is affected by the malady, however,

pain does arise.

Approved literature concerning cancer symptoms may be obtained from your local cancer society or by writing the Indiana Cancer Society, 325 Board of Trade Building, Indianapolis.

Fire Destroys News Plant In Illinois LaSalle Newspaper Halts Publication i La Salle, Hi., Dee. 18-(UP)—I The LaSalle News-Tribune build-' i ing was destroyed by fire early to-1 ! day, forcing the newspaper to sus- j pend publication. j Firemen said the newspaper’s ] entire printing equipment was a | complete loss.

While this makes internal cancer more difficult to diagnose in early stages, it again emphasizes the lesson of the cancer control movement —that the longer you wait, the less ch nice for a cure. And, cancer is being cured every day—some types as high as 80 per cent—by discovery and proper treatment in the early stages. If symptoms appear, regardless of whether there is pain, act promptly. Give medical knowledge a chance to do its work.

But he said he did not know he had killed the man until he read about it in the newspapers. Cedar Rapids police who found Hattman’s body in the hotel room traced Rutledge through fellow employes of Hattman who knew he was “having trouble with a St. Louis doctor." Hattman died of a chest wound six inches deep. URGES (Cont.
