Loose spending ot the peoples' money in any unit ot government goes hand-in-hand with graft. Careless handling of public fund and wasteful spending are dangerous weapons in the hands ot officials who are not abiding by the desires ot those they serve. Cordell Hull, great Tennesseean, great American, former congressman and for almost twelve years Secretary ot state under the late Franklin D. Roosevelt is dead at the age ot eightythree. The great American statesman died quietly at Bethesda hospital in Washington Saturday morning. Hull was perhaps the greatest secretary of state this nation ever had. He was well liked and respected among Americans and diplomats of other nations. His accomplishments were numerous and his official deeds will long be remembered. He has brought glory to the United States and also to his beloved Tennessee. 0 o— Tragic death by drowning came to Hubbard Steiner, well-known and respected Decatur citizen Saturday evening in the waters of Lake Erie. Mr. and Mrs. Steiner had gone to a resort in Ohio on the Erie shores to visit relatives over the week-end. The Decatur man, an executive in the Fort Wayne branch ot United States Rubber, was prominent in civic and lodge circles and last month he was master ot ceremonies at the family night program of the dedication of the new Youth and Community Center. Always a hard and willing worker, Mr. Steiner played a prominent part in the Chamber ot Commerce and he served ffh'htlififfrodd ‘ddfltmittees for civic improvement His place will be a difficult one to fill and his many friends here and in the area offer the Steiner family their sympathy in this hour of sorrow. ——lo 0I— — The American farmer leads the world in his use ot motorized equipment, but this has not always been the case.

them, formed a Farmers AntiAutomobile Society and some of the regulations they drew up are good for a chuckle. One would have required every car equipped with a bell that would ring every time the wheels made a full turn. Another wanted autos traveling at night on country roads to send up a rocket every mile, wait ten minutes for the road to clear, then proceed with caution, honking the horn and shooting oft Roman candles. And another was for the driver, seeing a team of horses approaching, to pull off to one side, and cover the machine with a blanket painted to blend with the landscape. The final blow was a regulation requiring a driver, in case a horse was unwilling to pass an auto, to take the car apart as rapidly as possible and hide the parts in bushes. —-0 0- — While Decatur doesn't have too serious of a problem with traffic jams, the nation as a whole is losing a lot of time, money and patience over the automobile snarl. It you drive a car. traffic jams cost you an average ot a penny a mile in higher operating costs. If you ride in cabs, traffic delays ring up 50 million extra dollars on taxi meters every year. If you drive a truck, traffic tieups cause a loss of three hours out of every 8-hour day to delivery trucks. This means ■ higher trucking charges and higher consumer prices, too. There would be a saving of one million dollars a year in operating costs, and ....„ transit fares could be lowered in., proportion, if bus and streetcar traffic could be speeded up one mile per hour in a medium-size cityi in larger towns, the downtown retailers are feeling the traffic problem with fewer sales as customers flock to suburban shopping centers with their better flowing traffic. One survey estimates the total cost at five and one-half billion dollars a year, and predicts the cost will mount to eight billion by 1965. Some of these jams are the fault of the existing highways and streets, but a lot ot them are due to carelessness on the part of drivers.-

CHAPTER NINETEEN JENNINGS and Flint were moving in behind their boss. A brief impulse of common sense moved Kerry to say, ‘‘Come on, Rusty, let’s clear out of here. No use scrapping with him again.” “Your card-sharper friend's givto* you good advice, Baines. The both o’ you better tuck in your tails and crawl for your holes while you're still in shape to srawL” “I’m just a-mindin’ my own business," Rusty observed to the world in general, “an’ I aim to keep right on doin’ it till I’m ready to quit. Anybody don’t like my company ain’t obliged to hang around.” He raised his glass. Close as the five of them were standing, no-one could have said whether he’d done it on purpose, or whether one of the others had jogged him, but certain it was that the liquor in the glass, half-way to Rusty’s lips, suddenly splashed upward* and Wharton’s face was right there to receive it. There was a hoyvl of pain as the raw liquor stung his eyes, and then he flung himself on Rusty, the weight of his clumsy rush carrying the leaner and lighter man back over a table. Rusty, Wharton and the table went down together with a thunderous crash of splintering wood and breaking glasses that quite drowned out the thud ot Kerry’s fist against Jennings’ jaw, as the latter moved in to help his friend. “Your boss started this little ruckus all by himself, Jennings. Let him finish ite-if he can.’*' ~ Out of the corner of his eye, Kerry saw a flash of red spangled skirts as Margie edged expertly through the crowd to the bartender’s corner. His head turned round to follow her swift progress, and he paid for his unwariness with a jab on the side of the head from Flint. “Awright now! You <»boys had your fun. Now cut it out 'fore somebody gets hurt” The bartender moved in, a massive man with cold eyes, a rock-likc jaw, and a business-like bung-starter gripped in an immense fist. Wharton and Rusty were still threshing on the floor beside the over-

turned table, wnarton on top pinning Rusty down with his greater ' weight and hammering at him I with heavy fists. “You near wrecked the place last : night,” the bartender declared. “Took the best part o’ the day to clean up the mess. Ain’t figurin’ on doin’ it again.” Wharton muttered, “I C’n pay for any damage I do.” The bartender tapped Wharton with the bung-starter. “You heard me, Wharton. I mean business.” ! Jennings lunged at the big map. The starter described a short, swift arc, and he sagged to the floor. "Now, Wharton,” the bartender went on imperturbably, "you goin’ to get up an’ behave?” Cursing, Wharton came to his feet, and Rusty followed his example. Wharton didn’t look too good, but Rusty’s face was a mess that only Margie could love. Now Calder spoke. "If you’d like to clean up a little,” he said quietly, ‘You’re both welcome to come up to my room.” Kerry hesitated. There was something about this scar-faced gaml blcr he just didn’t trust And why , this sudden interest in him and ■ Rusty, when he hadn’t lifted a i finger to keep them from being i beaten up and thrown in jail last • night? “I’ve got a bottle upstairs,” Cali der added. “Lot better liquor than I you’d get here or any other saloon ’ in town.” i Rusty’s grin widened. "That's right friendly of you, Lon. We ac- . cept your kind invitation with . pleasure, don’t we, Kerry?” “Come on back to ray place*: , Rusty,” Margie urged. “I’ll make ■ you coffee —you need it.” “Sure, honey. You just wait here ■ while we wash our faces an' kinds I put ourselves together, an’ we’ll , see you home." i Then glaring at Wharton, he l added, "and I’ll be seein' you, later, too.” I• • • A fist pounding on the door jerked Kerry out of sleep. He sat up and sank back with a groan. What was going on Inside his skull? It felt full of hot sand, and sore as if a horse had kicked him, and there was a brassy taste in his mouth.

Bishop Tells Os Six Years In Red China

(Editor’s not: This is the last of six articles in which a Maryknoll misrioner expelled train Red China last month recounts what he saw and evperienced there. By BISHOP FREDERICK A. DONOGHY. r.. Ml. (Written Expressly tor I. N. S.) (Copyright. 1955, by 1. N. S.) After the Geneva conference of 1954 a number of American priests were expelled from China; then for months the Communists seemed to forget the foreigners. When suddenly in June of 1955 I was summoned to the security police bureau I had no idea of expulsion. I thought 1 was going back to Jail. For three days I had to report before a panel of officials. The Judge told me that they had four main accusations against me. These followed the classical pattern under which most missioners had been thrown "Out of China. They were: ' 1. After the liberation I had refused to allow a young Catholic to serve on a government committee to represent the Catholic church. Therefore, I used my power against the people. 2. I had forbidden a young man to join a Communist youth organisation. !• was therefore reactionary. • with excommunication anyone who signed a petition condemning Archbishop Riberi, the Holy Father's personal representative to China. I was a tool of foreign imperialism. 4. I had established the Legion of Mary throughout the diocese, and this was a reactionary organ ization. There was no mention of the charges that had earlier put me in jail-the planted revolver and the raw’ opium. I admitted the charges, saying that I had acted within my rights and that I did what was my duty. I denied that the Legion of Mary was reactionary. The judges then put on the usual' act, shouting and pounding the table to intimidate me. After about 15 minutes the Judges quieted down On the third day the head judge read the sentence that I was to be banned forever from China. "This is to be put in effect immediately,” he added. One cannot shake off his thoughts of China merely by coming into the free territory of Hong Kong. All of us in the free world must be alerted to Communism, recognizing it for what it is. It is evil. The Communist's hatred of religion should make us re-examine the part religion play’s in our own lives. It should make this treasure more precious to us. It is the lack of religious conviction in the lives of free men that gives Communism

as nc gingeny opened his eyes and looked around, the events ol last night began to come back. Calder had brought them up here to his room over the Longhorn—and then what? He could remember Rusty, with his stained shirl stripped oft, sloshing cold water ever his head, and Calder pouring drinks for both of them —and ther it was all blank. The knocking persisted, not verj loud, but with the sort of desperate urgency that had wakened him. He sent a look at Rusty sprawled in a chair, his shirt still off, sleeping like the dead, and dragged himself to the door on unwilling legs. Margie pushed her way past him and pulled the door shut behind her before he had a chance to ask what she was doing there. “Where’s Rusty?" Her voic< was a husky whisper, her eyes enormous and dark in a face that was white to. the lips. She spottec the sleeper in the chair -nd flew to him, began shaking him fran tically. “Rusty, wake up! You've got to!” The shaking produced about a* much effect as if she had shaker a heap of clothes. She swung hei head around to Kerry. “Get some water!" Kerry discovered a pitcher “Here you are, Margie—but I sure didn’t think he’d had that much to drink.” The girl snapped. “I’ve seen men like this before. He’s been doped." Her eyes didn’t encourage questions. She dashed the pitcher ol tepid water into Rusty’s face. He came: to.spluttering and .--gaspingfe then, as his eyes lighted on Margie, he blinked and smiled. “Why hello there, honey—” “Rusty, you didn't do it, die you? Oh, I know you didn’t!" “Look, honey," Rusty pleaded "it’s too early in the mornin’, an I got too bad a head to be guessin riddles. What didn’t I—?” “You haven’t got time to ask questions,” Margie cut him off. “Get up and get your shirt on You’ve both got to get out of town fast. I’ve got horses out in back—and don’t stan<i there gaping ar me!’’ she added, in a tone that allowed of no argument ■ r (To Be

power. Since my return to the free world I have often been asked whether or not we can have peaceful coexistence with the Communist nations. In my opinion, our objectives are so diametrically opposed that I can see no hope of attaining peaceful co-existence. In fact,' I do not think that there will even be a long co-existence between Russia and China. Look at a map of the world. China is a small blob under the vast Russian umbrella. Russia has but 300 million people to China's 600 million. The Russian territory is extensive, while by comparison China is limited. I know that adult Chinese, mindful of "temple diplomacy.” are not keen to look upon the Russian people as thtir great Russian brothers. In the upper Communist strata there Is a unity of ideology, but the Chinese people as a whole have an ingraintd xenophobia. They do not want to be under a foreign power even in a secodary position. It is wrong to say that the Chinese people have accepted communism. In the beginning the people were Influenced by a potent propaglanjfla machine. But they soon found out that Communist promises were but mirages. When I left China, people were openly talking about rebellion. In

some of the ipeetings in the country the farmers were telling the officials that the farmers were doing the work and the government was receiving the pay. The Chinese no longer believes Communist propaganda. The high standard of living of the Russians, the production which exceeds the production of all other nations, is played up in the press. But the people in Wuchow know that there is hot one single Russian item in any sthre for sale. There is still American merchandise, and the people are anxious to buy that.
