Chinese ComI riunists and North "Koreans have-' accepted Gen. Ridgway’s offer to begin negotiations and apparently the meeting of military heads will gather in Kaesong, Korea to discuss truce terras. As commander of all UN forces, Gen. ’L Ridgway has been authorized to meet with the Red generate before July 15, and it is possible that the cease-fire order may become effective before that date. —o o The meteoric career of Leroy A A.

He was born in Terre Haute apd like many boys 1 is first job was delivering newspapers. Later he became a theater tiqket taker and worked his way through Rose-Polytechnic Institute. He began his storybook business career as a $27 a week traffic clerk for the A.T. gr T. and in 1948 was elected president* of the eight-billion-dol-,lar communications concern, which employs 625,000 persons.

Operation Advised For Hip Fracture In Aged

NOWHERE has our thinking changed more radically than in cases of fracture of the hill, so - f requent in the aged, t ormerlj, such patients were examined -to see if it would be safe to operate; today, they are examined to see if operation can be safely delayed. In other words, the value of early operation is pow clearly understood, and the penalities of keeping an aged patient in bed for long-periods of time thoroughly demonstrated. Among are heart failure, pneumonia, and ether serious conditions. On the other hand, new surgical techniques make operation much safer than it formerly was. Studies of a group of 43 patients with fractured hip show that extreme age is nb bar to -operations of this kind. Thirty of the 42 patients were over 72 years ’of age; 17 over 80, and one patient was 91 years old. Thirty-five of this group were ■ operated on. 21 in less than 72 ; lours after their admission to the hospital and 4 within 24. Results

that a superintendent be named so administration of school affairs can be ■ carried on unin- ! terupted. In two months, the fall semester will begin in the meantime preparation of the school city’s budget must be completed. Mr. Krick was an excellent administrator knd Decatur school system was operated on a high and progressive plane during his 17 years as, head of the schools. This record 1 can be maintained. Without * hesitation we say that a worthy successor- to the beloved Walter Krick can be, selected from the able members of the faculty of the Decatur schools. . ' i' - ■' ’■ ... Jh ! —_o 0 Our Nation:— This Fourth of July will probably have a greater celebration than most. It is the 175th anni- ' versary of ‘the Declaration of Independence, rind therefore will receive greateir attention than any anniversary until the 200th. In the life of a country 175 years is a short period. Yet outside of Great, Britain ho nation has had as long a lite as the / United States without a drastic change of govetnitfent. France I'jas gone through several changes, some of them violent. Germany . Italy were broken up |nto many small states at the time our Declaration was signed. Other nations which were then inonai dries have become either republics or dictatorships. But*the United States still retains the Constitution adopted in 178*9, in spite of several sfevere crisis which we have gone through. This shows the staying power of our form of government. 4 q q Independence:— a The event which We celebiSite as Independence Djay w.as |he culmination of a long struggle for freedom from the shackles of Oppressive government. Men had a need to break away from hands which governed at $ great distance, not only in geography b< in ideas and understanding. They wanted to have a say in the flaking and enforcement of (heir laws; they wanted something in their lives to be beyond I the authority of government. They .'wanted to think for themselves, and to act for themselves.* The. wisdom and ‘the wqirth of this bold break for independence have been proved by the development of our nation.? Yet Iwe as individual citizens have hot attained the fullest measure of independence. The dutside force of distant government, is long since gone, but we do not alwayj think for ourselves. | j We still need independence — from outworn ideas,- from- unreasoned prejudice, from doubt of our own powers and strength, from lethargy and smugness.

Mobilization Chief Urges Tax Increase Declares Defense - Plan Must Proceed Washington, July 3 —(UP) — Mobilization director Charles E.

He said he wanted to emphasize that the defense program must continue to go forward, that military requirements' must be fulfilled on schedule, and that these goals\jnust be achieved ‘‘without weakening our ecwomic structure.” of you may be wondering what effect a truce in Korea will have upon our defense mobilization program if current negotiations are successful!” Wilson said. ‘‘The answer is it will have no effect • “Our defense mobilization must be based not upon the Korean fighting but upon what we know to be thO'ultimate aims and present tactics of the Soviet Union. Until we know] thrit there is a genijjne change in thri long-term aims of world Communism, we cannot afford to slow the pace of odr own defense buildup and our aid to other countries, 1 r

right now,” Gilpin said softly and Bart’s head jerked up from the cards. “Meaning?” “I don’t know how many thousand you owe me, Bart. I’ve taken your lOU’s right along, sonjicthing I never did for any other man — absolutely never! But I figured you were a good risk, soine day I’d collect —-until Tonto Riley came along.” I “You’d better make that brand clear,” Bart said, voice clipped. Gilpin nodded and thrust his polished boots out before him, contemplating them as he spoke. “It’s clear—absolutely clear; I gambled with you and took your paper because everyone figured you’d get the Slash S after Rick was killed. Then word passed that Staples had cut you out for someone else, I still took ypur notes, You still looked good for' ’em, the way I figured." "You’re crazy,” Bart said., Gilpin smiled land stole a swift glance at Custer. 1 “Am I? Well, maybe, like a fox. You can still get the Slash S.” "With Tonto Riley—” .Gilpin’s raised palm checked Bart. , "But if Tonto Riley wasn’t in the picture, the whole estate would go to the courts. You’re the only remaining heir, and there’s no question about that — absolutely none. I think you’d better go to work on it.” “Ad, are you sure you’re all right?” Bart said narrowly. "Get rid of Tonto Riley,” Gilpin went on inexorably, “and the Staples’ estate comes to you, sooner or later, by court action. You can sell the spread to me and I’ll give you a fair figure, minus the lOU’s.’* “You want the Slash S!” Bart said, astounded. He stared unbelievingly. “You, a rancher!” “Why not?” Gilpin bristled. Bart shook his head. “A saloonkeeper a rancher! A gambler owner of the Sl'ash S! It's like making an honest man of Billy the Kid.” “That’s the way it stands, Bart,” Gilpin said stubbornly. He relented and spread his hands wide. “Look, you and me live in Avrillo day in an,d day out. We make our living here like anyone else. But we ain’t respectable. We ain’t invited around to the ranches or to shindigs at the school. We can’t join the lodge—nothing like that. I got as much dinero as anyone in

Avrillo but a nestcr’s wife won’t speak to me if she meets me on the street!” “I’m beginning to savvy,” Bart said slowly. Gilpin warmed to his theme and F"I’firmed 1 ’firmed forward to the edge of bis chair. “I want folks to say my name like it was something real important in this part of the country. I’d like to walk upstairs to lodge and go in because I got a right to. I got money, more’n epough. I’.ve always had it! I could buy all I wanted but I couldn’t buy respect. For one thing, I didn’t' know how. This time I know what I need —the Slash S. You’re getting it for me and I’ll square it up with you.” “How. do you expetet me to get it?” Bart said flatly. “Get Tonto Riley out of the way, or make him lose the, Slash S. Maybe them double deals of yours will come in handy.” “Riley won’t gamble that heavy,” Bart shook his head. “I know his kind.” l “Then get rid of him.” Gilpin . leaned forward. “Absolutely rid of him.” Bart’s eyes narrowed and he acted as if he couldn't quite believe his ears. Gilpin sat back in his chair and studied his cigar ash again. Bart stood up. “You sound like you want me to do murder,” he said. Gilpin didn’t answer and Bart looked stunned. “Ohe man was killed,” Gilpin said, “Rick Staples. It could happen, to Riley.” “Now look, Ad, I’ve done a lot of things for you. But you can just forget this deal right now. You don't force me into a play like that. What’s to keep me from for- « getting those lOU’s?” “Just one little item,” Gilpin said softly. “It’s the same little thing that’ll make you take care of Riley. Bart, be reasonable! I don’t want to force, you to do anything. But remember we know fronto Riley has to find out who! killed Rick Staples. You wouldn’t want that to happen, would yoti?” “He won’t find out,” Bart said heavily. Gilpin’s brows raised, “I wouldn’t take odds on a bet like that. Now take care of this deal while you've got a chance and before it’s too late.” y “I’ll not do murder for any man," Bart repeated stubbornly. Gilpin sighed wearily. . V- (tob* continued/'
