sent, would have them decentralized by law. Here are his striking words; "No longer should business men suicidally build or add to plants anywhere they please. On the contrary, such sac tors should be considered as adding to the existing overcongestion in given areas, and the defensibility of certain potential targets through nearby radar and guided missile station.'' To have government forbid a manufacturer to build where he likes will impress many as a shocking violation of private rights. Yet the United States may come to it, through no will of its own. 11 o'o Lack of Water: Th< plight of the nation's largest city, with respect to its water supply, has attracted a good deal of attention to water supply problems in many other places. The general conclusion Is that there is no such tiling as a boundless water supply, and geologists have added the word that the level of water reserves generally throughout the nation is being lowered. We are drawing fresh water from the earth faster than it Is replaced by natural processes. For Nt w York City there will b a solution in three years; then additional sources of water will be tapped by development projects already under way. Meanwhile New Yorkers will have to introduce a measure of frugality into their habits of water use. The fact that many other communities are having water troubl»s suggest tiiat a general attitude of greater respect toward water would be in order. No community is completely safe. Wells which have yielded reliably for long years may suddenly go dry. Seacoast cities are warned that if the level of their inland underground water drop* too low. salt water from the sea might seep in to spoil It. Cheap purification of sea water on a grand scale is still being sought after. If it is ever achieved. much of the danger of water shortage would be relieved, for most of the fresh water which man takes from the land winds up in the sea. The uses to which man puts water seldom destroy it; mostly the water is just soiled and passed on to the sea. Some day we may be able to reclaim it. If we can't well have to use water k-M prodigally.

An attorney who had come with Bligh, Senior, jumped up to ask: "Your honor, may I ask if you are planning to act as judge or as prosecuting attorney, now that you have told Mr. Hardin that he may consider himself on trial?” “Delete my previous question." the judge ordered the reporter. "I should have talked to you out of court. Mr. Hardin. I see your cul pabllity, and I want you to aee It and act to wipe it out before a grand jury examines the case and indicts you." “Did I do anything worse in verbally describing the new Germany than newspapers do in daily news?" "I suppose that a grand jury would see a subtle difference there, Mr. Hardin. The newspapers try to be objective in reporting the atrocities taking place in the Nazi Reich, while you have given your seeming approval to Hitler’s governmental gangsterism to such an extent that you may have inspired this greyshirt organization to their unAmerican pattern of conduct. Is that too subtle for you to see?" Hardin stood silently a full minute: “No. your honor. I see my blame. Have you In mind a program whereby I might satisfy a grand jury’s requirements?" “Mr. Igorvich has suggested a first step. You are American born, I believe; but I think you might favorably Impress a grand jury by taking oath before this court not to flirt further with Nietsche and Hitler—or, rather to renounce them and their ideas from which this violence has sprung You see the fruits of your intellectual escapade.” “I will take such an oath, Judge Miller." "Good? And further, to avoid any prosecution by Insurance companies concerned, you will have to assume their share of liability both in the case of the African Methodist Church and the damage to the homes and business places of the Jewish citizens." Gerald Hardin sagged. Judge Miller added. "You may personally persuade Mattingly Bligh. Senior. to share with you in the expenses involved. The court has no direct charge against the senior Mr Bligh. only against Mr. Bligh Junior; and those charges may be decreased by the time the story Is told to the grand jury.” I heard the attorney with Bligh. Sr., whisper loudly for Hardin's hearing: "The judge is bluffing. He has no way of knowing what iadfctmetits a grand jury may find." "Shut up?" roared Bligh. Senior “Shui up?" echoed Hardin, about to take oath. Saturday. November 2S I was writing the "shut ups” yes-

terday on the typewriter when the manse front door-bell rang. I would not mind Merle finding me in his study, since he knows I have to come into the house to keep the furnace going; but if he should come hack married—well, the Idea had me panicky. But it was only Alexander (Sonny) Smith and another newspaperman. They had been given only a sketchy story of what happened in the courtroom Thursday evening. They had been caught napping, not expecting any developments on the riot until Friday morning, at which time a couple factory hands with Debs bad to be back at work. I let them read what I had written about the fight and the courtroom, and they got quite excited. Mr Seely kept saying. "Boy. this is a scoop! And it's well written, too. Ego. you have a newspaper job when you graduate.” What excited me was when he said. “Well pay you one hundred dollars if you'll let us take this and rewrite it for the newspaper." I agreed. But no sooner had they rushed away than I began to worry that I might get in dutch with the court for letting out stuff that the judge might want to keep quiet. ■ telephoned Seely and could get neither him nor Sonny out of "conference.” Then I ran over to the news office and barged in Seely called Judge Miller, who merely warned him to use the regular amount of tact and caution. I came off with one hundred dollars. And more newspaper notoriety. No matter which side of the law the nsme Igorvich Is on. there will be a general impression among those who half-read their papers that any family which raises as much newsprint aa we do. should go back to Russia or to prison After Hardin took his voluntary oath Thursday night. Judge Miller had the court stenographer read back to Debs and the other Coal Creek deputies the story they had to tell and swear to. Then Sheriff Barnhorst officially dismissed them so that they could set sail for Coal Creek and Friday morning work. As my father and I trudged home. I told him bow I felt about his becoming a thorough American at last Then I dared this suggestion: "If you want really to understand America, our free church is the way" My tough father was choked up again when be said: “Iggy. I’ve been awfully wrong Do you know what began to change my mind about everything — particularly your church?" "When Hawley was so decent at Mike's death?” "Yes—but I expected him to be decent. What got me most on the morning we watched Mike die was what has happened to you You rightly blamed me for keeping

That church had done more in six months to make a man of you than Marx could do for me in half a century.” Oh. oh! Merle’s car. And that woman alone with him! That means they are married? So long typewriter! And so long diary—at least until my hand gets better. To the celler with me? Carrying out ashes is my only excuse for being in the manse now! PART H “All American Igorvich” (Author’s note: So that the publication of this story in the Decatur Daily Democrat does not string out too much longer, the five chapters which tell of Ivan in college will be condensed Into a synopsis here. These chapters were (fictitiously speaking) written as a supplement to the high school diary by Ivan’s college room mate. James Boswell Henry, and published by the newspapers in the political campaign of 1960 I In spite of offers and scholarships to play football at several large colleges and universities. Ivan chose the alma mater of his friend Merle Hawley. Witherspoon College. Tennessee. But athletic disappointment awaited him because of the haphazard coaching of one Dietz. Coach Dietz resented Ivan's suggestions to the extent of kicking the “freshman wonder" the day that Igorvich could not scrimmage because of appendicitis. While Ivan had his appendix removed. Witherspoon College removed its coach. And "Fundamentals" Brady came down from Madrid to Witherspoon at the beginning of Ivan's sophomore year. Beginning with this second year, Igorvich was named on the "Little College all • American" football team. At the end of his senior year, he gained highest athletic notoriety with the college allstars against a professional teem in Chicago. In October of his junior year. Ivan and bis Witherspoon Tartans played In New York City, beating the Empire State Emperors 13-0. The evening following the game, while the terrors from Tennessee were stroiling the "Great White Way,” a note was left for Ivan at the hotel. Adeline Adame, alias Dorothy Hardin, needed lISu.OO for plastic surgery to her face because of an "accident." But she would not get in teach with her parents until she made good in the entertainment world Ivan never saw her. but Impoverished his remain iag days in college to send her the money.
