The year 1951 got off to a rousing start, with the acquisition of a diesel engine, to run the proposed auxiliary power plant splitting the council and the city’s board of works and safety. ■ I The latter had signed with the Lima-Hamilton corporation following consultant engineer’s advice; councilmen hesitated, held out for another engine. The,deadlock was broken, however, when two of the : councilmen switched over to the board of wo'rks’ choice, and things in the city settled (town to normal. While constant strife and turmoil were never too frequently a part of the Decatur scene, there were often moments when the people didn't know quite what to think. There were the 19 criminal cases dropped from the docket by prosecutor Severin Schurger in October, including the> state’s case again sit Wayne and Bitty Fisher, parents of a child found dead iu their home from what was later termed malnutrition. All of which created considerable stir in the community. There was this also: Gen. Douglas MacArthur lost his job the embarrassing way, by being fired by the president. Almost it the same time. EL W. Lankenau. manager of the G.E. plant here stepped down. But he retired amid laudatory advances by his friends and co-workers.

Stassen Leaning To Conservative Stand Campaign Platform Veering To Right Washington. Dec., 3E-(UP)— Harold ; E.- Stassen’s presidential campaign platform! is getting some kind words around town. Whatever happens to his hole-in-one effort to become president his platform is likely to make some political medicine within the Repttblkian party. The young man from Pennayl- . vania tossed the hard money issue into the campaign and it is likely to stay there. / ( Hard money is the kind which is, backed by gold and resists inflationary pressures. Hard money is just as good tomorrow as it was last month —which is more than can be said 1 for the dollar in your pocket. StaskSh is for what he calls a “modern goM standard’' and unless he used “modern** as a weasel word, he also is for hard money. That is a conservative position. It does not quite match up with Stassen’s overall political background. He has changed a hit. Stassen, also is for a limit in inI come taxation—another conservative position. Reading between the : lines of his campaign proposals. Stassen might be suspected of lean- ! ing toward a federal sales tax. Very conservative, that woqldAbe All of this adds up to a Stassen break-away from the left wing of ■ the Republican party, the Repubj lican group which includes, for ex- . ample, Sen. Wayne Morse (R-Ore.) ; , But if there were any doubt that Stassen is moving to the . right politically it would be resolved by his proclamation of intent to page around for good advice after he enters the White House. , \ '/ ' Stassen said he would expect to get some of that advice from Democrats such as James A. Farley and Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.) and some more from Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Stassen would not be guided into any state socialism projects by those gentlemen. Left wingers of all parties short: ly will be pot shotting Stassen. Moat likely they will attribute his right-of-cpnter approach to government to/his political asoeiation in Pennsylvania with the Republican organization of Joseph R. Grundy, But Stassen can afford to absorb some hard words from the left wingers. His shot at the presidency is a long one but it is strategically legitimate. A considerable powerhouse of Republican leaders is steaming up, to nominate Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower for president next July. The chances are General Ike will be available and he may be nominated. But ts Ike backs out. a lot of eastern Republicans and, soipe elsewhere suddenly will he without a candidate. There will take place then a wild and wooly hurry-up search for somebody else —a man who can stop Sen. Robert A. Taft (R. -O.>. J , /i If that happens Stassen IvHI be standing by and f ready. So will • Gov. Karl Warren of California and perhaps others. In a contest with Warren for the nomination, Stassen’s chances should be good. That is the way the politicians figure it. and that probably is the way Stassen figures it. too. A long chance, but worth taing. It Vs estimated about 65 per 'cent of all IL S. shipping during World War II was handled by Liberty ships. j L rrrl’ Skathi?. Big Nite with all the trimrtiings as Before.
