The program is administered by a local committee and previously proved satisfactory to those who compiled with the plan. That wihch helps the farm, will spread its’ benefits through the community. o 0 The council is proceeding wisely in ordering the drilling of an* other deep water well. Water consumption increased with the softening process and many homes now use the city treated water in preference to their cistern supply. During the summer months, the i ' demand is heavier and Ralph Roop, superintendent of the water department, advised the council to supplement the present reserve with another well. Decatur depends entirely on its wells to deliver up to one million gallons of water daily and the councilmen realize that no catastrophe would be worse than to have a failure in the city’s daily supply of water. 0 0 The proposed Community and Youth Center will be a yeararound operation, where programs may be carried out for the children of the city.

ust. The Interstate Commerce Commission has approved the hike and the post office department estimates the higher rates will increased its income by some 150 million dollars. Postmaster General Summerfield seems determined to wipe out the postal deficit by charging more for its services. This policy will place the postal service oh a business-exchange basis, rather than a government subsidised service. The higher postage and parcel post rates will increase business operating ex0 0 W/7/ They Die:— The atom spies, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg may live beyond tonight by virtue of the decision of Supreme Court Justice William Douglas to stay their execution.\ Justice Douglas played the “lone wolf” role in staying the execution of the two convicted spies, charged with passing atomic'secrets to Russia. Previously, Chief Justice Fred Vinson declined to bring their pleas before the full membership of the high tribunal. The Rosenbergs were convicted under the Espionage Act. Justice Douglas posed the question if the Atomic Energy Act, which became law aftdr the Rosenbergs turned spies superceded rhe former law. The Atomic Energy law, according i to Justice Douglas’ interpretation does not provide for the death sentence unless ordered by a jury. The jury that heard the case did not recoprmend the death penalty, the court sentencing the two spies to death. The jjustice Department takes exception to the Douglas decision asked Chief Justice Vinssn* To* call the court IrT session to act on the cake today. President Eisenhower indicated that he would not Commute the death sentences. He declined a plea of commutation last February and if tpe Rosenbergs live past 11 o’clock tonight, they will have Justice Douglas to thank for their extended sojourn on this planet. In dealing out justice, this country leans backward in giving defendants the last straw in legal procedure to fight and plead their case. This policy certainly is true with the' Rosenbergs, I

TV Star Cringes From Recognition V Florence Halop Is TV Show's Mother HOLLYWOOD, UP — Florence Halop, one of television’s new stars, admitted today she’s the only actress in show business who cringes if anybody recognizes her on the street. This TV thespian plays the role of a plump, gray-haired, 47-year-old mother on the "Meet Millie” program.

"When we leave CBS, Elenk always . gets stopped by fans, but nobody stops me,” Florence said. “Once in a while when someone does recognize me. do 1 cringe!” TV’s Miss Jekyll-Hyde fools the fans with one of the niftiest disguises in show business. Her size 10 figure is hidden underneath padding that gives her a hefty bosom and derriere and a vanishing waistline. Over tpat goes a long dress to cover gams that rival Rita Hayworth’s. Florence wears her blonde locks in a "sloppy chignon.” powdered so it won’t have a sheen. Her pretty face is doodled up with phony wrinkles and bags. She plods, matron-like, and stands with her arms folded to add 18 years. “I’m getting real wrinkles from screwing up my face so the makeup man can draw' on the lines,” she wailed. "Sometimes I forget and leave on my nail polish and the director makes a fuss. The bust pad slipped once, too.” Florence has been in show business 25 of her 29 years, scoring in movies, theater, circuses and rodeos. Her brother is Billy Halop. the leader of the original Dead tend” and later succeeded Shirley Booth as Miss Duffy on “Duffy's End kids, and the two were once the busiest junior actors in New York. She started on "Let’s PreTavern.” 0 o 20 Years Ago Today o 0 June 18, 1933 was Sunday. • \ ” Alarming LINCOLN. Neb., UP — Firemen rushed to answer an alarm at an industrial plant.
