Recently elected chairmen and vice-chairmen of the counties comprising the Fourth congressional district will meet Wednesday to name a district chairman. A check-up of the leaders in the various counties indicates that James Coons, Avilla, will be reelected. We have no intention of attempting to upset the plans of Mr. Coons but we feel that with his reelection will disappear any chance to elect a Democratic congressman from this district. Coons has led his party to defeat consistently In recent elections and has never shown any marked distinction as an organiser. We think the Fourth district is entitled to better leadership. 0 0 Located at various northern Indiana lakes, there are 27 public fishing sites. These are lakeside locations where boats may be launched and keptlor, a period of 30 days. No camping is permitted at the sites, in order that the space, open to the public, can be kept clear for parking and boat launching. It’s a splendid service for the fishing addicts who ao not have a permanent location at a lake. A concrete launching ramp is located at each site and numerous posts with rings for tying boats are offered free. Each year the thousands of people interested in hunting and fishing are getting more for their license fee. 0 Q— The political campaign in Adams county this fall should be a humdinger. Two veteran political leaders, Dr. Harry Hebble, Democrat and Harry Essex, Republican were reelected to lead their respective parties in the approaching general election. Both were active candidates, and when men seek the office and are not drafted, it means they want the job. The responsibility of oorgauizing every precinct lies on their shoulders. A political campaign is noto an easy task. Often, too many people fail to take part, yet they complain the loudest when a leader fails short of victory. We congratulate these two fine Adams county citizens and we are sure that they will follow their past performance in doing all in their power to place the issues squarely before the public without any mudslinging.

He stood looking at Vai and she couldn’t tell from his expression whether he was pleased to see her or not “Well, well, Nurse Alison," he said finally. “So at last you’ve decided th pay me a visit. Come in and sit down.” He indicated a bed made up as a divan. “Is this a professional call or a social one?” He added, smiling, "If it’s the latter, can I send for some tea? I was just thinking that a cup of tea would be nice.” “It's professional in away." She added rather hastily, “But I would love a cup of tea.” He pressed the bell by the cabin door and a few minutes later when the steward knocked he ordered tea. "You must have been kept pretty busy these past few days, Doctor,” she said sympathetically. He nodded. “Practically everyone has been seasick. The crew as well as the passengers.

to be seasick myself!" She nodded her head of closfcropped bright red curls. “I understand how you feel, and I’ve onfy one patient to look after. You must have hundreds.” "Not hundreds,” he corrected, "but plenty. Cruise passengers, I’ve found, always require a great deal of attention. I suppose in bad weather the poor dears are borefl stiff." “That may be part.of Mrs. Featherstone's trouble," wal said. “She <• bored, poor thing—at least,” she amended, "when Dirk isn't visiting her." —- “She likes that, does she?" “Well, talking to him seems to make a pleasant change from talking to me." “I’ve gathered she’s kept you pretty Ued HP in fbe c*bin. FMB looked for you each mealtime. You haven’t been in the dining saloon.” Her heart lifted and she felt absurdly pleased that he had noticed her absence. There was a pause that was faintly embarrassing. Oddly she felt it as a relief when the steward knocked and brought in the tea. When the steward had gone hfe said abruptly, “You’re not looking any too well yourself.” She smiled. “Perhaps I’ve been feeling slightly seasick.” He nodded and leaned across the small table and poured her a cup of tea. “Somehow you look different from that first morning we talked,” he said. “You looked so well then, full of vitality and life,,, able to cope with anything that might come along. Now, if you don’t mind my saying so, you look sort of flattened out, as though you were frightened of something. Are you afraid of anything?" "I don't know why 1 should be,’* she said evasively, and deliberately she bent over her cup of tea. "What could I be frightened of on this ship?” He was some little time replying. Then he shrugged his powerful shoulders. "1 don’t know other than that Mrs. Featherstone may have been putting ideas into your head.” “Well,” she said gravely, “you

Republictn county chairmen will meet in 11 distrct centers Tuesday and choose members of the state committee. The newly - elected state comittee will gather in Indianapolis Wednesday and elect state party officials. Former Governor Ralph F. Gates and others favorable to the gubernatorial candidacy of LieutGov. Harold W. Handley are seeking to wrest control of the GOP state committee from Governor George N. Craig.

Cast, of Kentland, who also has strong backing from Congressman Charles A. Halleck, of Rensselaer. Charles E. Sklllen, of Winacac, may be permitted to retain his post as Democratic state chairman. No rival candidate has appeared on the horison to date. •J V? msaaMies JA , Myers In Africa Mr. and Mrs. Ray Myers of 369 : Stevenson street has receivedword that their son, Pvt. Ervin R.

And surely you’re not taking ft seriously?" he cried in a startled voice. "That was two years ago. Just before—" He paused slightly, “Eileen died." She raised her head and looked up at him. “I'm afraid. Doctor, that she still believes what you said then." He leaned forward. "But you, , Nurse, you don't believe I want to kill her?" He gave a short, incredulous laugh. She glanced away from him. "Os course not But if you Aad meant to do ft, you would have done ft there and then, wouldn’t you?” she said quietly. “That makes sense." He grinned faintly. “You’re a regular little detective, aren’t you?’’ She laughed. Suddenly she felt happier, much happier. “Frankly, Doctor, I don’t think you’d be capable of murdering anyone!” "You don’t think I’m tough enough?" He sighed mockingly. "After that scene with Mrs. Featherstone I merely went back to London and continued my studies, and after Eileen’s death, as you know, 1 signed ba as ship’s Surgeon." ' , « » Vai nodded. It was exactly as she had thought ,it had all happened. She felt better, oh so much better than she had when she’d come into his cabin. “It’S ridiculous that shfe won’t consent to see me, especially as you say she’s been under the weather. Besides, I’d like to tell her that I no longer bear her any ill will.'” “I’m glad. Then everything is all right on this ship,” she said quietly. “Oh no, everything isn’t all right," he said harshly, and suddenly the expression on his face changed. (To Be Continued)

lic hearings on Communist ‘brainwashing” Os American prisoners captured in Korea. McClellan, who beads the subcommittee. said the inquiry would “inforar the public of how the socalied ‘brainwashing’ operates, and most importantly, how it may be counteracted in the future.*’ Cruise Os Nautilus Raises Questions Poses Problem Os Submarine Defense j . ...... .. >....., NEW YORK (INS) — The first , “public” cruise of the U. S. Nau- , Ulus has raised a serious question . about defenses against such atom- . ic-ppwer submarines. The Nautilus, which was put - through a series of historic underwater acrobatics before paying its , first visit to New York over the . weekend, is at present the only i known atomic-powered vehicle in , the world. Experts in charge of its public i demonstration said, however, that , the U. S. navy assumes Russia is working intensively to build similar subs and that, within the next few years, America will be confronted with them. They said the war characteristics of the speedy Nautilus have been evaluated, that the problem of countering such a weapon has been posed to the anti-submarine warfare division, and that “the answer hasn't come back yet.” Rear Admiral Frank T. Watkins, submarine commander for the Atlantic fleet, was aboard for the demonstration to a dozen newsmen. Watkins declared that the Nautilus “almost completely defeats" known anti-sub methods and presents a “grace problem” to the navies of the world for finding new sub-fighUng tactics. Rear Admiral H. G. Rickover, Navy nuclear chief who directed construction of the Nautilus, was unperturbed as the sub repeatedly streaked toward the bottom and then nosed sharply back toward the surface. _ He said: “Now perhaps people will finally realize that the Nautilus is an entirely new- weapon and not just an improved submarine.’'
