City Dump's Stench Permeates Decatur » '• 5 • I Odor Spreads Over City Tuesday Night As of last night First street residents were not the only Decatur residents to get a whiff of the pungent odor that often radiates from the city dump, just over the Monroe street bridge. night the condition was so pronounced that an ugly stinking cloud of murk hung low all the way out to Sixth, and about as far south as it has ever gone. A man living on First dashed down to the dump last night and hailed the police car passing, by. He complained that the city wasn't doing anything about the smell and he couldn't even sit' out on his porch or keep his windows open. This morning city councilman Adolph Kolter told a Daily Democrat reporter the thing would have to be solved or the city would “have to get another dump.” Said Kolter: “Other cities enforce garbage ordinances; why can't we?’’ If we order no garbage to be dumped after 3 p.m. each day. that's the way it ought to be". . . That smell was terrible; why, I could smell it all the way out where I live (Second street).” It was observed fast night that at about |9:30 o'clock the fires at the dump got so big that for fear j they might get out of hand ‘a fire true# was called to siem the blaze. It appeared that a quantity of flammable material had been dumped, caught fire and raised the smell. .. goiter promised the matter would crime up before the next meeting of the city council and the possibility explored that firms in the city may be throwing noxious by-products of manufacture on the dump, a violation.

Denies Influence To Gain Son Deferment ■ Wabash Draft Board Charges Are Denied WABASH, Ind./ UP — a| draft board resignation here was met today with a statement by a Republican congressman that he “never” attempted to keep his son out of the armed forces. The WabashNounty draft board resigned in a body Tuesday and charged that "apparent political influence” postponed induction of John V. Beamer, Jr.. 24. But Rep. John Beamer (R-Ind.) said “I never tried to keep him out. I never contact ?d the local draft* board, state: or national selective service headquarters pn his behalf.” A spokesman for selective service headquarters at Washington backed up Beamer and said he had “nothing to do with it at all.” The board members were Dr. Frederick M. Whisler, a Wabash physician and chairman of the board; [secretary Geotge F. Bosch and member Wendell W. Hicks. As its final actioit\ the board postponed the induction of all other Wabash county registrants previously ordered to report; July Young Beadier, in industrial designer employed by Procter and Gamble, compaip’ at Sgcramento.

A sewer pipe large enough for a .man to walk through erect,has been laid in -a 1,700-foot trench so far that extends from the ’St Mary's River, just east of Monmouth road, across that road transversing McMillen park a«’d thence southwesterly to the Pennsylvania railroad i racks, wherq the sewer now is. The big ditch runs 1 about 14 feet deep on the averagq. Later this week, however, a tunnel will have to be punched 19 feet under the railroad tracks jlarge enough to get the 54-inch pipe through. It was reliaibly ’■eported today that the sewer will bg “jacked” through the tunnyd, .-critably push ’ ed through it. Once under the tracks the sewer will go to Washington and Eleventh, thence to Dayton whore it will be taken over liy laterals. Very concievaDjly, the new sewer could relieve conditions all over town. Since most of the sewer system is interconnected, this fact that additional sewage will come into existance will lower the average contained anywhere in the system at any one time; 1 \ The growth of Decatur that wiP be engendered by operation of tat new vein cannot be estimated. But a whole new block of homes was recently announced and ean be considered a direct result of the Porter-dlomewood sewer! Tap-in fees and the revolving fund »et up to enable the city to bring service into homes where nothing but bad sev.ege has been the rule rather than the exception would also help improve sewers' in other parts of town and is cdnsidered a strong point.

CENTRAL FRONT) Korea UP -t— Two American soldiers jniraculousily escaped to freedom today after 16 terror-packed hbfcrs behind Chinese lines. Hiding motionless on a; small hill, they saw the Reds capture American soldiers. They looked on while Reds occupied and * looted a captured U. S. position J- They saw the Chinese blast AlUeid lines with their mortars. They watched dig, die and evacuate their wounded. From dawn to dusk Tpesday, this incredible glimpse of tfte Communist battlefield was uhveiled before Cpl. Hubert H. Wubben, a 25-ye£r-old ; high school teacher who livefc In Littleton, Colp., and Cpl. Henry J. Szymkowski.’22. of Eagle. Wis.. a carpenter in civilian life. The two artillerymen were cut off and surrounded Monday night when 20,000 Chinese spl3 i e r s punched through the ROK papital Division and rolled back the front two miles. ? They found haven on a ; 1 small hill from where they had clear view of Communist invaders for a full day.

It swarmed With Chinese. “iThey went through dur living bunkers and came out tjvith ponchos, food and beer,” Sziiiykowski sajd.t “Some of them j put the ponchos on because It was raining, but they carried the food land beer away. “They looked at the jeeps and trucks we left behind ajnd they climbed, into them and they staredand gawked at our artillery pieces. They blocked np one of the trucks and Strip' > ped off four wheels, but they left the rest of the stuff alone/’ ! Wubben took up the story: “The laborer and soldiers knew’ what to do without much fuss or bother. They started digging foxholes and mortar When the mortar was set-up the Reds started firing. j “There was nothing mechanized about:; them,” Wubben saiil. “They carried all their weapons and provisions on their bakks.” Allted big guns, meanwhile, were l shelling the captured position and some of the Reds were vi° un ded. "They carried their injured ou| piggy-back,” Szymkowski laid. When night fell, the tw|o Americans started their hair-raising eacape. They ' walked, T j crawled, stumbled through a night of downpouring rain and Chinese and Allied shelling. Once they jumped into ?a ditch. "There was a live. Chink in tljere with a pushcart for stringing wire.” Szymkowski saijd. “He didn’t even look at us and he didn't bother us. We waited and anothef shell landed and he climbed out and went away.” j. Sometime during the night, they crossed the Chinese lines and were back in friendly territory 36 hours after the Chinese attack began. *r l ' ' Local Shriners In New York Parade T ■ •' '‘.
