the patients at the various state institutions is being conducted by the Adams county Mental Health society. Mrs. Lowell Harper, Mrs. Benjamin Thomas and representatives of all churches and sororities in Decatur are spear heading the drive locally. These women are giving their time and effort to this cause and deserve the support of all the community. 0 ol—Adlai Stevenson, Democratic standard bearer for the presidency in 1952, when he was drafted for the banner carrying job, has announced his intentions of trying again in 1956. The news came as no surprise as he has been preparing to announce his candidacy for many months. Stevenson, former governor of Illinois, is a good scrapper and he is the first of several Democrats expected to be actively engaged in the preconvention contest for delegate strength. One thing can be said about the famous Democrat without fear of contradiction. He had made up his mind to be a candidate before President Elsenhower suffered a heart attack, which probably will sideline the President in the 1956 election. Stevenson has courage and will no doubt get strong support from his party. 0 o We doubt if any one in their right mind could say he believed John Gibson who placed a bomb in his mother’s travel bag and blew the United Airlines planeTo“ smithereens was sane. He had figured put he could collect her life insurance it seems but he should have realized that the plane wreck.would be serious for., all of the 44 people aboard. The FBI worked on the terrible affair only five days to discover the man who had planned the wholesale murder and who confessed. While they claim that sabotage, carrying a prison sentence of only ten years is the severest punishment he could have we believe they will figure out a plan to send him to an insane asylum for life or turn him over to the state to stand trial for murder. It was one of the worst crimes in history.

The speaker, C. D. DeLoach, said: "This is the 11th hour-tomorrow could be the judgement in whether the Communists realise their goal of taking over the United States. The Communist threat is a challenge to every Legionnaire and to every FBI agent.” The meeting of department commanders and adjutants ended today and Thursday national executive committee members will start a three-day session.
