Schurger For Judge:— This newspaper heartily endorses Severin Schurger, a fellow citizen and lifelong resident of Decatur for the Democratic nomination for Appellate Judge of the Indiana Second district. It pleased the many friends of the popular attorney and former Prosecutor of this county, to see him toss his bat into the field of higher political office. Mr. Schurger should seek higher judicial office, for he is admirably fitted by temperment, training and experience to serve as a judge of one of the state’s highest courts. Mr. Schurger is a high type citisen. A home-owner, husband and father, he is conscientious and considerate in his professional practice. He is a splendid example of good citizenship. A veteran of World War IT who served with distinction in difficult assignmenu overseas, a leader in local fraternal groups, an able lawyer and member of the Adams County Bar, local friends and admirers of the young man would be happy to see him nominated and elected to the Appellate bench. 0 0 The Adams County Memorial hospital is again filled to capacity, Cal E. Peterson, president of the hospital trustees informed the community. Four patients were placed in hallways yesterday and every room waj occupied. We are not meeting our obligation in providing ample hospital facilities by permitting this condition to exist.

Mayor Robert Meyers of Fort Wayne will be welcomed here nept Monday when he gives the address at the annual Flag Day exercises at the Elks home. It will be one of his first out-of-town speaking engagements since he assumed the mayoralty and Decatur friends will be glad to greet him on his visit to the “ol home town” of the Meyers family. ■_—p__o " ■ A couple of brazen thugs walked into a nearby city shoe store, flashed a revolver in the proprietor’s face and told him they wanted his money. The bandits cleaned out the cash register drawer and also picked the owner's billfold for 8100. Their tactics were similar to those used by the lone bandit at the bank in Berne. Why should the country be infested with these hoodlums? They might try work as away of making a living. — ' .... —a—:— —t o p Congressman Robert Condon and James Roosevelt were nominated by California Democrats, despite the lack of support from National Chairman Mitchell. Roosevelt won in a field of several candidates, but did not win a double nomination with his bid on the Republican ticket. The district which he seeks to represent is normally Democratic, but it’s our guess that the campaign will be waged largely on the personality of Roosevelt and exploited < on his marital troubles. 0 0Indiana driver llcehses which now cost >1.25 for two years, may be boosted to 82.50 to provide, funds to employ 200 extra

troopers in the state. Gov. 4raig has approved the idea and the suggestion may get bn paper within the next few months and'offered to the General Assembly next January for approval. If more state troopers will give added safety on the highways and lessen accidents, the doubling of licenses fees should be a good investment. Do Hoosiers want more “wolf packs”, on the highways? —4—o—j* The Big Mistake:— The hearings in the McCarthyArmy controversy might have been shortened had they been conducted by some committee other than the one conducting them. Had this been, the case a number of issues which are not material to the case might have been avoided. All of the senators sitting in judgment in the controversy are members of the McCarthy investigating committee. They~are, in a sense, involved in the controversy. If the charges that Sen. McCarthy abused his power as chairman are true they are in jsome measure responsible for not acting sooner to stop him. If, on the other hand, Secretary Stevens and John Adams attempted to block that committee’s investigations they are responsible to the same degree for not knowing about it and taking necessary ac-, tion. It does seem that a greater degree of objectivity might have been achieved had judges less involved in the matter been selected. At the start of the hearings Chairman Mundt said he thought that it would have been better for another committee to take on the task of determining the truth.* It is too late to do anything about changing things now. But the lesson learned should be remembered if the present unhappy circumstances should ever recur.
