Singer Dick Haymes Taken To Hospital Beset By Financial, Citizenship Woes NIEW YORK UP — Trooper Dick Haynies rested under sedatives at a Park Avenue hospital today with what a hospital spokesman described as “a bad case of hypertension.” The singer, beset by financial and citizenship troubles, failed to make a scheduled appearance at a’Pittsburgh night club Monday night after he was ordered to the hpspital by bls physician, Dr. J. H. Movitz. A spokesman at Park East hospital said Haymes was “resting quietly” but he ‘probably will be here for quite a while.” A “no visitors’ sign was hung on his door. , Actress Rita Hayworth, who married the Argentine-born singer Sept. 24 at Las Vegas, Nev., was expected to see him at the hospital today. Haymes attorney in Los Angeles. David C. Marcus, said the crooner had been driven to “the edge of a breakdown” last* week by the pressure of meeting alimony and back inconfe tax payments and the prospect of a deportation hearing. 'Marcus said in Los Angeles ithat Haymes telephoned him twice Monday and sounded like he was almost at the end of his rope.' Marcus quoted Haymes as saying: “I don't know what to do. I’m going insane. My nerves are shot. I don’t know where to turn. I want to work. I’m trying to work, but they won’t let me.’ Rita, according to Marcus, had told friends that Dick was “physically and mentally exhausted and in a state of collapse.’ Haymes had been scheduled to start a one-week singing engagement at the Carousel Club in Pittsburgh Monday night. Jackie Heller, pintsized owner of the club, said a big crowd showed up but there were no complaints when Haymes failed to appear. Fined For Inadequate Lights On Vehicle Samuel L. Schwartz, a member of the Amish sect, of near Berne, received a fine and costs totalling $15.25 Saturday night in Geneva justice of peace court, when he pleaded guilty to having a horse drawn vehicle on the stfeets and highways near the mid-nighb hour without a lamp or lantern Visible for 500 feet to the front and to the rear. Schwartz was brought into J. P. court by Geneva town marshal Preston Pyle. 1 Geneva and Adams county law enforcement officials indicate that a crackdown will be made on Amish horse drawn rigs on the streets and highways after night without adequate lighting. It is pointed out that several nekr accidents have occurred as the result of automobile drivers approaching the slow moving Amish rigs at night without any advance warning that they are on the highways. Slow moving Amish horse drawn vehicles, the officials declare, are a definite menace to highway safety at night time when they are inadequately l , lighted. Indiana law requires animal drawn vehicles to carry a light visigle for at least 500 feet. School For Christian Living Opens Monday The school for Christian living conducted by the churches of three counties in Ohio and Adams county opened Monday night with 404 students. The Rev, Wm. Nafcier. who envisioned the school and promoted it, saw the enrollment was growing and made arrangements to shift the school to the Jiigh school building.

(international) Indiana, Michigan Discuss Toll Road Hope To Prevent <. Road Competition INDIANAPOLIS UP — Indiana and Michigan planned today a toll road conference to discuss separate superhighways which could result in financially harmful competition. Bruce Short, secretary of the Indiana toll road commission, said commissioners and representatives of the Michigan turnpike authority have discussed a meeting. The purpose wonk| be to explore a cooperative arrangement to avoid any possibility of competing highways would divide traffic so the roads would not pay for themselves fast enough. Short said James S. de Laurier, Hammond, chairman of the Indiana commission, was in touch with the Michigan group by telephone Monday. He said he understood Michigan proposed a meeting to .discuss the matter. No date was set for a conference, Short said. Present plans are for the Indiana road to cross Indiana from Ohio to Illinois just below the Michigan border. Michigan plans a road west from Detroit through Kalamazoo and Benton Harbor. A “spur line" from the IndianaMichigan line to Indiana’s own road was suggested by some Michigan sources in View of the fact Michigan can’t extend its highway into Chicago for gqpgraphical reasons. The proposed Michigan road would run 50 to -60 miles north of the proposed Indiana road at most points along the route.

■ 111 ■■■!■ ■■! I I Terms Story On Gl Prisoners As Tops Wisconsin Editor Battles For Gl's . MFNNEAPOUS. (UP) ~ “The United Press story on why the 22 u'nrepatriated boys io Korea do not ask to come home is the greatest news beat of the century and one of the most important news stories oi all time.” John Chapple, editor of the Ashland, Wis., Daily Press, Said Monday. Chapple has been devoting bis sole time for several weeks to reuniting' the boys and their mothers. “These 22 brain-washed American boys are at the very crux of the battle between good and evil,” Chapple said. “The very history of civilization rests on the outcome of this case, for if we do not act courageously to rescue these boys we are admitting that the propaganda power of Communism is more effective than that of our way of life. If we do not save these boys through the power of Christian prayer and effective action to back it up. it is an open admission that we believe the power of evil and darkness is greater than the power of Jesus Christ.” The despatch to which Chapple referred was carried by the U. P. from Panmunjom, Korea, Monday. It quoted highly responsible informants as saying that Communist political agents had browbeaten 22 unrepatriated American prisoners until they fear to come home. Only three of the 22 “really believe in Communism," the informants said. The others, it was asserted, are just “a bunch of scared kids.” . The Reds have told the Gls that if they return home t£ey will be “pumped dry’’ and then “bumped off”- by the federal bureau of investigation, the informants said. Chappie said “the United Press has torn the lid off a situation which even some of our. officials preferred to bypass.” “The United Press story is the greatest story of the century because it will arouse America into action and challenge us to save these boys for their families and for Christian civilization as opposed to the brutal hell of atheist Communism.”

CHURCH HEWS Church of God An attentive audience listened to the timely message brought by the Rev. W. H. Kirkpatrick at the Church of God last night “Our Thinking determines pur Acting" was the theme of the message. He emphasized the fact that we rise no higher than the level of our thinking, using as scripture basis, as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. If, in his thought life the person thinks. ’ cannot live the Christian life, he is already doomed to failure. If on the other hand that same person will continually think, With God all things are possible, with His help I can live a Christian life, he is on the road to success as a Christian.” He urged his audience to think positively, expteet great things from God and attempt great things for Him, Mrs. Pauline Roop was at the piano and Mrs. Ora Blew at the organ. Mrs. Bonnie Watkins directed tha choir in singing, /'Cleanse Me" as l well as directing the congregation in singing. Mrs. Flossie Hawkins and Mrs. Edna Kirkpatrick sang the special number, “Jesus, Blessed Jesus.” Services will continue each night at 7:30, with the exception of Saturday night. A welcome is extended to the public to enjoy the meeting. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur j
