THE DECATUR DAILY DF.MQCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

(S SIX LETTERS r° LUCILLA _, -. J Mil To My Beloved Wife Lucilla: It is my happy privilege to report that my voyage hence was accomplished without untoward incident and I am now comfortably lodged in a small villa which the Procurator has so kindly put at my disposal. I have but recently come from my audience with the noble Pontius Pilate. The Procurator impressed me greatly, a man of stern and commanding presence, yet of good countenance and of a generous nature. He listened gravely as I revealed my mission—to study the Judeans so that I may more ably execute the statue of that ancient leader Abraham (whom these Judeans revere so highly) and which the Imperator has commissioned me to fashion for that Hall of the Colonial Peoples he has planned to stand near the Forum of Augustus. After bestowing upon me the passport and scroll of safe conduct, the Procurator sighed and smiled; a trifle wearily, I thought. "I envy you, good Bassianus,” he said. “Would I were a sculptor such as you and could as easily fashion these unruly peoples into loyal subjects of Rome as you will bring into being the shape of that old prophet from a block of stone!” f My thoughts dwelt with these words of his as I hastened from the palace and so it was with surprise that I suddenly found jnyself in the midst of a tumultuous crowd. My alarm vanished when I saw these natives meant me no harm but were singing, shouting, dancing with joy and casting great branches from the nearby palm trees into the street to make a carpet for some Person who approached seated upon a young colt. I write the word “Person” as I do because never before have I seen anyone whose appearance so overpowered me. Compassion, humility-exalted to a degree that was divine! Would my poor arts were such that I could depict this for you but the little sketch I made of the scene and which I enclose must suffice, Dear Lucilla, would you had been with me! Enough of this, however. It grows late and I must retire. I will write again on the morrow. Embrace the little ones for me-and tell them if they are good I will bring each a gift. Your faithful husband, “T 7 ~ C7 *— X* (Created by WILLIAM RITT Distributed by Kins Features Syndicate *

Radioactive Dust Showers On Chicago Not Harmful, But Tough On Research CHICAGO tf'P — Recent hydrogen bomo tests in the Pacific increased radioactivity in the air at Chicago by 300 per cent. Scientists who study cosmic rays in this midwestern metropolis complained today that H-bomb experiments are making It harder to conduct their research. They are being showered radioactive dust. Dr. Leonard Reiffel of the Illinois Institute of Technology was quick to point out that the radioactivity reflected from the (Marshall Islands to Chicago was not harmful to human beings. * "The level is leas than one10,OOOth of the radioactivity from a radium watch dial,” he said, "and far below the dosage the’ human body undergoes daily from cosmic rays." "It’s even lower than the harmless amount of X-rays a television set w’ould emit if it were not properly shielded." Nevertheless, Reiffel said, the H-bomb tests are making it rough on scientists. “We had to design a special gadget to keep Constant check on background radioactivity,” he said. “Sometimes, the changes threw off our calculations so badly we had to repeat a lot of wont. That’s especially true in our experiments on cosmic rays." Another complaining scientist wad Dr. Willard F. Libby, a University of Chicago scientist who was the first to discover that the age of any once-living object could be determined by measuring its tiny amount of radioactivity from* 1 a substance known as Carbon 14. “Because of those bombs,” he said, “we have to keep our laboratory scrupulously clean, as clean as a surgical room — and use air conditioning to remove dust from the atmosphere.” Last week Libby’s instruments showed that a relic from the caveman era was 16,000 years old. "For a determination like that, we use extremely sensitive instrunients and the least increase —in radioactive dust throws them off,” he said. All of the scientists agreed that the air itself does not transmit radioactivity. It is borne by dust or other foreign matter which is wafted about by air currents. Reiffel takes measurements from dust which settles in pans on roof tops at Illinois Tech. He .finds big increases after each bomb blast, but he refused to say whether the strength of a bomb set off in Russia could be measured by the amount of radioactive dust settling in Chicago. “That treads awfully close to the secrecy line,” he said. Four Men Are Fined In Mayor's Court Karl Lough, 18. Decatur, pleaded guilty in mayor's court today on a charge of running a stop sign east of Decatur at the ,Clem’s , lake Ifi* tersection. He was fined $5 and costs. The arrest was-made by state trooper Walter Schindler. Sclftndler also had two arrests Friday night. Robert L. Yost, 23. Dillsburg. Pa„ was fined $5 and costs for improper passing. James L. Martin, 19, Willshire, 0., pleaded guilty to a charge of speeding and was fined $5 and costs in justice of peace court. Robert Swygart, Decathr, pleaded guilty to public intoxication in mayor's court and was fined $5 and costs. Swygart was arrested by city police officers on Thirteenth street.

He did not mention use of American troops, a last resort. which the administration has not ruled out publicly.
