third political party for the approaching presidential election. Manion, ip his early days was an active Democrat He was defeated in his only bld tor an elective office when he was a candidate for the United States senate in the Democratic state convention which nominated Supreme Court Justice Sherman Minton in 1*33. Minton later was elected to the Senate. Since that time, Prof. Manion had been, an independent until he actively supported Eisenhower in 1952. Later he broke with the Eisenhower administration and has been active in a group of dissenters known as the "For America League." In this nation where a two-party system has been the backbone of progress it is doubtful that the Manion group can do much more than muddy the surface water. However, the South Bend man is still regarded as perhaps the smartest student of the constitution In the middlewest. ' r 0 o The Chicago Tribune, which modestly claims to be the “World's greatest newspaper” in a recent editorial claimed for the state of Illinois the cream of the current college basketball crop as natives of the Sucker state. The .comment cited the fact that all of the University of Illinois starting netters and four of the five players at University of lowa were from Illinois. The two teams are one, two in the western conference basketball standings ga of today. The lone boy from lowa, on the University of lowa team, however gave a good account of himself last Saturday when the two teams met, getting 25 points and otherwise making it ahard and unprofitable afternoon for the n:,' io .... Illinois team. Many Other midwestern schools do not boast any of the “cream of the crop" Illinois netters, largely because most schools also require that a certain scholastic average be maintained by athletes. The “Voice of the Midwest” may have some good argument concerning Illinois athletes but we’d certainly like to see a selection of all star high school senior basketball players from Indiana and Illinois, square off in a three game series. We still think the Hoosier state has a corner on the best in high , school basketball.

CHAPTER NINETEEN “WHAT IS IT ?” Jemmy asked. “What does she want?” Lore tore the note into small bits and dropped them into the fire. “Mrs. Channing wants me to come up to see her for a little while this afternoon.” Jemmy’s eyes took on a shine of conspiracy. “I won’t tell, Lora. If anybody asks I’ll say you're having a nap in your room.” “Thank you, Jemmy,” she said quickly, “but of course you musn’t do that. I’d be very unhappy if you told fibs to keep me out of trouble. There’s nothing wrong about going up to see Mrs. Channing if I choose to do so.” “Just the same, I won’t tell,” he promised her. There was no convincing him that Intrigue was not necessary in this house of intrigue, and though she could not admit it to him, she would be glad of his silence until she had time to discover what Morgan Channing wanted. For the last two weeks a seamstress had come daily to the house. In spite of Mother pier’s indifference to what went on, Wade had seen to the matter. As a consequence, Lora’s new wardrobe had begun to blossom and she could now put on a soft yellow wool dress and a new bonnet, most stylishly made. She felt quite another person in it, though she smiled at herself for gaining confidence from the mere donning of a new frock. At least she need not mount the hill today with the knowledge that she would seem dowdy and countrified beside the impressive Mrs. Channing. Mrs. Channing came in so softly behind her that Lora was unaware of her presence until she spoke. “How nice of you to come, Lora. I may call you Lora, may I not? 1 dislike formality between friends.” She ware black again today, with only a pearl brooch and earrings to relieve its sombre hue. Yet she was not in mourning for her husband, since she had been in gay white and turquoise the night of the party. Black suited her, Lora decidei It heightened her dramatic quality, whitened her skin and made her dark eyes all the more brilliant.

’ Gunman Seized And ' Hostages Released i Wild Gunman Holds 1 Policemen, Priest PHILADELPHIA (INS) A a wild gunman with two pistols held two policemen and a priest i hostages for two hours early today and forced them to take him on a harrowing ride in Phlladeli phia and New Jersey. The gunman, Joseph Madera, 27, telephoned newsmen that he was “armed and would do barm to somebody” or commit suicide unless a doctor who had been treat'l Ing him were summoned. ’ Madera, holding scores of offl- ’ cers at gunpoint, fired two shots in • Heyburn Plaza, a park across the street from Philadelphia’s city hall 1 and police headquarters. ' After police were unable to take him into custody, detective Edward Witherspoon and patrolman James Brown volunteered to ac1 company the gunman to his home 1 in a detective car to talk things 1 over with bls wife, Norma. • i Also on the trip was the Rev. I John J. Lynch, a priest who tried to reason with Madera. A police 4aravan followed the' - detective vehicle, losing aight of - the car on at least one occasion but picking up the trail again. A police order then went out to i set up roadblocks and not let i Madera through. However, the gunman apparently was able to

Morgan had not missed the look of interest Lora had been giving the hidden picture. She nodded carelessly toward the pulled drap- . eries. “Sometimes I weary of looking myself in the eye. Particularly when X am my sole company." Lora smiled uncertainly and took the chair which a gesture from Morgan indicated. This woman always made her feel faintly uncomfortable and a little unsure of herself. “I’ve been away, you know,” Morgan said. “To Albany.” Lora had not known. In the tight little world of the Tyler household, concerned more than ever with its own problems, little newest the outside world had penetrated for the last two weeks. “I attended Governor Seymour's inauguration on New Year's day," Morgan went on. "Mr. Norwood is very close to the governor, as well as being an old friend of my husband. Nicholas was always interested in the political scene and he could never keep me from becoming interested, too. I like to be near the seats of the mighty.”- . ■ She laughed at Lora’s puzzled expression. “I can see that you don’t approve of a woman who interests herself in politics,” she went on. “But I cannot see myself sitting idle and alone in this great house. I want activity and life about me. Important activity.” "It isn’t that,” Lora confessed. "It’s just that—well, the other day. you seemed to speak very sincerely about wishing, there was some way to stop the war. And now—" “I am sincere," Morgan broke in, ’That is why I’ve asked you to come here to see me today. From something you said the other day 1 gathered that you would lend your help if you could lead in the direction of halting this dreadful bloodshed.” .— ..1.. “That’s quite true,” Lora said. “Good. First, I’d like you to know that we have Governor Seymour on our side. Os course, he cannot come out openly and offi- 1 cially oppose the administration. ' Not with any show of force, at least But he will sanction what we do and will lend us behind-the-scenes support. Have you heard : of the Knights of the Golden Circle?”

evade the roadblocks by keeping a check on police movements over the police radio. Madera rang the doorbell at the home of his in-laws, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Hill, but they did not resmmd. Authorities said the Hills were fearful of harm and added that Madera had threatened Mra. Hill on several occasions. During the hair-raising ride, the gunman's wife appealed to him over the police radio to come home without trouble and pleaded that their children, Joseph, 4, and Patricia, 18 months, had asked for him. Madera finally agreed to return home and was standing with the two policemen and the priest, pistols still in hand, when other policemen grabbed him from behind. Lenten Service At Reformed Church The fourth in the series of midweek Lenten services will be held in the Zion Evangelical and Reformed church Wednesday at 7:30 Tbe pastor, the Rev.

“Vaguely,” Lora said. I’ve heard them labelled Copperheads.” "Many people don’t understand their work and purpose," Morgan said blandly. “The Circle is opposed to the continuation of the war. Its members want a peaceful settlement with the south and they are by now many thousand strong in the middle west Murray Norwood is one of those chosen tc start new castles in the east” “AMstles ?” Lora asked. Morgan smiled. “Between you and me. Lora, I will acknowledge that there's a good deal of the small boy in many men. They like to dress up, use passwords and exchange secret handshakes. They love the mystery of the secret society and all the trappings that go frith it ‘lf I go to the east... ant} ‘What of the night?’ ‘Morning cometh,* and all the rest. But let them have their ritual if it appeals to them. them have it it it will stop the war.” She had set her tea and cakes upon .the table beside her and was leaning earnestly toward Lora. There was no doubting her sin-, eerily-now, or her driving intenaity. “But what can they do?” Lora asked. "You’ve heard of the coming draft, have you not?” “I don't know much about it I’m afraid." “What an ignorant little thing you are! Don’t you realize that the Union can’t possibly win this war unless it has more men? But men of the north are no longer flocking like* sheep to throw their jives away. If President Lincoln cannot raise his quota, the war frill stop because it will be impossible to fight on. Stop the draft in New York state, as they are going to do in other states, and we stop the war bloodlessly.” “But—how can the draft be stopped? If the government—” “Ah, but you don’t know the power W 0 hftve on our side. We have a magnificent leader out in Ohio—Clement Vallandigham. And Governor Seymour himself is opposed to the draft. We have only to organize and stand fast.” Lora sighed. “I’m afraid I am ignorant of all this. In any case—what do you want me to do?” (Io Bo Continued;

Answers To Questions On Income Tax Return

(Editor’s note: You have until midnight April 16 to file your federal income tax return for 1955 without penalty. This is the second of five articles providing down-to-earth answers to Questions most often asked by taxpayers. The series was prepared in cooperation with the internal revenue service.) By FELIX COTTEN WASHINGTON (INS) —in certain caags, payments which you receive are excluded from income. That ia, you simply do not Include them in the income on which you figure your tax and which you enter on page one of your return. Some types of retirement Income are partially excluded. Also, under certain circumstances, you are allowed a retirement income credit. This subject is one of the most troublesome with which taxpayers have to deal Hera are answers to some common Questions about retirement incomeQ. 1 am 65 and received retirement income amounting to >2,000 in 1965. Do 1 get a total credit of >2,400, and that is, >1,200 for my personal exemption and >1,200 as a retirement income credit? A. No you get a >1,200 personal exemption, assuming you were 65 before the end of 1955. But you do not get a >1,200 deduction for retirement income. This sum is simply the maximum against which you can take the 20 per cent retirement income tax credit. In some cases it may be tantamount to a >1,200 deduction, but you still have to follow the rule. The retirement income rules is spch a difficult one that it is well to spell It out. Here It is: Put down >1,200 Subtract from It all earnings for personal services in excess of >9OO for the year, if you are under 75. Also subtract a|l payments, if any, which you received from these sources: The federal old age and survivors’ insurance plan. The railroad retirement laws. Any military or other retirement pension which is excluded from your gross income- . Now compare this sum with your actual legally recognised retirement income. If it is smaller than the retirement income, you figure 20 per cent of |t and deduct this from your income tax. If your retirement income is smaller, you figurelo per cent of it and deduct that from your income tax. In figuring the sum against which you compare your retirement. income, you do not deduct annuity or pension payments which

are excluded from your income because they represent recovery of your original investment in them. Your retirement income is figured in schedule K of tax form 1040. What is retirement income? A. For persons under 65, it Is limited to amounts received by retired government employes, public school teachers, policemen, firemen, etc-, under a public retirement system This includes retirement pay from the armed forces. For persons 65 or over, it includes all pensions, annuties, and the like, on which they owe tax, and also dividends, interest and gross rents. Q. 1 was 65 last year, and received >2,400 under a public retirement system which I understand 1 do not have to report as income because it represented only a return to me of what I originally invested in the plan. I also had >2,000 of other income. Do I get a >1,200 retirement income credit? A. No. You may get a retirement income tax credit, it the other income wag from other taxable annuties, divldents, interest, rents, etc. But the tax credit will have to be figured according to the rule described above.
