Your local merchants are local taxpayers. When you buV at home you increase the money available for new schools, hospitals and other facilities our community needs. Do your Christmas shopping where you get year round service. —■O .. o The end of an era was marked by the trading of Jackie Robinson by the Brooklyn Dodgers to the New York Giants. The first Negro player in the major leagues in 1947, he has become a hero to the Dodger fans. It’s rumored the Giants wanted him more for his box office effect than his playing ability. At the age of 38. he has discussed retiring. His aggressiveness on the diamond and decorum off, paved the way for other Negro players who are now a permanent part of the majors. ». o o The community will miss the students of the 73rd session of the Reppert school of auctioneering, who have just concluded their training. As always, they have brought new life and enthusiasm to our city. A solid contribution by the school this year was the bake sale and auction which raised nearly a thousand dollars for the Decatur Youth and Community Center, putting it into the black for the year. As the students scatter over the states, we wish them the best of hick in their new profession. o—-o—-The Indiana County commissioners association and Gov> Handley have agreed upon a two-cent gasoline tax increase plus an increase in license plate charge. They want the money to go to the road program on the present basis of 53 per cent to the state, 32 per cent to the counties and 15 per cent to the cities and towns. This will be on top of the recent increase in the Federal tax on gasoline. According to his statements, this is the only new tax Handley will approve. Although the tax rate has remained unchanged for many’ years, automatic increases in revenues have been obtained each year by increased consump-

tion of gasoline and registration of vehicles. Another factor in the additional money has been increased horsepower of automobiles which eat up gasoline. There's a point where higher taxes fail to yield additional revenue' and motorists may demand smaller cars. Some already have. One German make of small au-. tomobile is reported nine months behind in delivery to this country. But better roads are popular and little opposition to the tax increase is anticipated.

Oply the marching feet of the United Nations troops in the Sinai peninsula between the Suez Canal and Israel are relatively new in the Holy Land this Christmas season. Ancestors of the present belligerents were fighting before the dawn of history over this desert which, separates two great civilizations. It was a wilderness when Moses led the children of Israel through it 32 centuries ago. His route probably followed part of the present right of way of the Suez Canal. Here it was that he wtfs given the ten commandments on Mt. Sinai, which provided the fundamentals of the law and justice the United Nations are attempting to enforce. He passed near the site of an ancient civilization which invented the alphabet used for inscribing the ten commandments on tables of stone and the basis so the alphabet we use today. Among the famous refugees who have streamed across the peninsula was the Holy family nearly 2,000 years ago, fleeing from the oppression of a dictator who had ordered the death of the first born. It seems possible that United Nations troops may enforce a truce during the Christmas season in this desert land, but the passions and hatreds of centuries, the fear of minorities, the desire for oil. and the clash of religions focus there, making a permanent peace an event of the distant future. Sjpcere belief in the principles of the ten commandments and the preachings of the Prince of Peace could have ended wars then or conclude them now. Isn’t it about time we try?

CHAPTER 33 1 TURNED back to the roof door of the cold water flat. Then, hastily, I crouched down behind a chimney. I tried desperately to think of what I would say to Wendell Kipp. He was standing just inside the door, peering out onto the roof. He was just standing there; he hadn’t seen me. He was afraid to come out on the roof and, perhaps, face the Waltzer. Then he backed away and disappeared. I waited a moment before I went to the head of the stairs. I could hear him hurrying down them to the street I started quietly after him. When I saw him again he was across the street, looking up at the roof. He was a man in an advanced state of acute indecision. Then, abruptly, he darted down Third Avenue. I darted up Third Avenue, found a cab headed west and collapsed into it. I managed to tell the nice man where I wanted to go. Leone was involved with some students at her desk. I went straight to Studio K. I hadn’t time really to collect myself when my two o’clock pupil arrived. The poor fellow was rather perplexed by his teacher’s demeanor. He kept offering me a penny for my thoughts. They weren’t worth that; they were, to put it mildly, disorganized. The hour finally ended and I,' Connie Barton, wife of the Waltz?, er, was alone. I took a deep breath. These were five minutes I might use to be of some helpto Steve. I telephoned "Leone from my studio to see if he had called; he hadn’t. The door of my studio opened and a little pixie of a manbounced into the room. The bright smile on his chubby, glowing face faded at the sight of me. * He -said, “Sorry, my mistake. I’m supposed to be in Studio K.” “This is K,” I said. “Oh . . . but my dancing teacher is Mifis Farreli. Is she ill ?” > 1 gaped at the cherub. Did he live under a stone, couldn't he read, hdw in the world could he not have heard that Anita Farrell had been murdered? “No,” I said, “she’s not ill, but . . .” “But she won’t be here?" “No," I said, "she won’t be here." — "And you’re to give me my lesson?” “Yes • . “Splendid!” he said. “My name is Ralph Tolley.” I said, “Oh, my God!” Mr. Ralph Tolley turned his head and looked over his shoul-

National Leaders Give Views On 1957 Outlook

(Editor’s note: Following Is one of a series of articles by leaders of the nation on their views of the outlook for 1957 in their various fields). By LEWIS L. STRAUSS, chairman U.S. Atomic Energy Commission Written for United Press The coming year should witness the greatest advances yet made in peaceful uses of atomic energy. This will be true around the world. In the United States at six different plants from coast to coast the daily delivery of electrical energy derived from atomic fission will become a reality. The full-scale (65,000 kilowatt) central station atomic plant "at Shippingport. Pa., will be supplying commercial power to the Pittsburgh area. Smaller (pilot) plants at the Argonne Laboratory, the Oak Ridge Laboratory and the Army package power plant at Ft. Ebelvoir, Va., will begin delivering electrical energy to their own localities. Progress in Plant Design Power will be pulsing from the sodium reactor experiment in southern California, and the General Electric Company's prototype plant in northern California will be feeding into the western commercial grids. - The year is also expected to see great progress in the design and commencement of large-scale power plants, either partially or wholly financed by private investment, in New England, the Great Lakes region, the New York City area, the Great Plains and at several other points where the plans ■ are now coming into final focus. We believe that the Congress will sprely provide the insurance protection for the pioneer ventures in atomic power development which was overwhelmingly endorsed by the Congressional Joint Committee on Atomic Energy last year but which did not reach a floor vote in the concluding days of the last session of Congress. Expect More Discoveries Elsewhere in the world the outlook is for growing activity. The prime event of 1956 was the adojition of the statute for the International Atomic Energy Agency proposed three years ago in President Eisenhower’s historic address to the United Nations. We shdll take our full part in the development of the agency’s programs and operations in 1957. We shall continue to develop likewise our

der. My reaction to his selfidentification had been so violent that he couldn’t believe it was just he who had caused it. I tried to cover my coitfusion. “Oh, my God,” I said again, but not quite so hysterically, “you’re not the Ralph Tolley I’ve been hearing so much about?" Now Ralph Tolley was pleased. “Heard so much about ? Who from?” j "Oh. the other girls . . . teachers.” “I’ve always had Miss Farrell . . . except once. Then I had Hooray Rose.” “That’s who ... Hooray is mad for you!" i “Well! Well, well!" I saw Ralph make a mental note in his mental little black date book. I was being mental too. There wefe some things I had to find out about Mr. Tolley and it would take a little doing., "Jeepers,” I said girlishly, “you’d think Leone Webb or somebody would have let me know you were here so ... so I could have put a flower in my hair.” He grinned and told me just what I wanted to hear. “I don’t think Miss Webb or anyone knows I’m here. I came right to the studio here. I thought I was late.” “Oh. Well, then, I guess you didn’t get Webb’s message, At your hotel, I mean.” ‘ “Message?” “Yes, she left a message for you that Anita . . . Anita wouldn’t be here today. In case you wanted to postpone your lesson.” Like a little angel, Ralph said, “Oh, I haven’t been to my hotel. I checked my luggage at the station and came right here.” “Isn’t this exciting!” I said. “I’m the only one in practically the whole wide world who knows you’re back in town!” “Why, I guess you are at that But I don’t see what’s exciting about it” “Well, thrilling then. Did you have a nice trip? Business or pleasure 7” “A combination of both." “How fortunate you are that you can manage that combination!” I said heartily. -What business are you in?” “Well, strictly speaking, I’m retired. But I do a bit of prospecting." “Prospecting?" “For uranium.” “Oh, of course. Th<S@h you've been in the wilds of Canada all week?” "Oh, no, you don’t!” the little man shouted. “Obn’t what?” I inquired.

cooperation with individual nations under agreements for cooperation pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act. The rate of discovery in basic nuclear science.has been accelerating in recent years—as witness the burst in 1956 of new knowledge about the particles of the atom. 1116 new year could well prove no less fruitful. It Is certain that more investigators and more firms and institutes at home and abroad will make use of more radioisotopes for more benigh purposes in 1957 than in any previous year. The furnishing of these extraordinary tools has grown steadily as one of our functions. Four Are Fined For Traffic Violations Fred M. Black, 29, a Dudley, Pa., truck driver, was arrested Saturday on U. S. highway 27 north of Berne on a charge of speeding. He appeared in justice of the peace Floyd Hunter’s court and was fined $1 and costs. Richard Collins of Elwwod, charged with speeding on U. S. 27 south of Decatur, was also fined $1 and costs in J. P. court. Richard Dye, 27, of Hammond, was arrested for an improper turn at the corner of 13th street and Monroe Saturday, and was fined 'll and costs in J. P. court. Ervin Rauch, 45, of Berne, arrested on a charge of reckless dri-. ving following an accident Dec-nii on U. S. highway 27, appeared in J. P. court Saturday. He was fined $5 and costs. Legion's Christmas Party On Saturday The annual children's » Christmas party of Adams Post 43, American Legion, will be held at the Legion home. First and Madison streets, Saturday afternoon at 1:30 o’clock. Santa Claus will arrive at 1:30, and children of members of the Legion and auxiliary are urged to attend. There will be treats for ths youngsters. The Rev. Otto C. Bosse and Dee Fryback are cochairmen of the annual party. it you na*e sometnmg to sen o.> rooms mr rent, try a Democrat Want AU.

“Find out? - he exclaimed. “Find out what?’* I inquired, this time adding a quizzical smile."' • - “Where.” “Where what?” I just inquired. “Where I dxpect to make my strike. Down at the hotel they're always trying to find out where I- go, but oh, no, I won’t tell them.” “So nobody knows but you and your Geiger counter. Is it nice of- - to keep all that uranium to yourself? Or haven’t you found any yet?” “Oh, no, you don’t!" I almost asked oh, no, I don’t know what and started that routine again, but I checked myself. I didn’t want to waste any more time than necessary. Somehow I had to tuck this miner away out of sight until Steve had had time ? to prove he hadn’t murdered Anita Farrell. Unfortunately, that wasn’t for very long. It was, in fact, just fifty-five minutes until four o'clock when Bolling had called the meeting which would prove Steve was the Waltzer. But if Bolling, or anyone else, got connected with Ralph Tolley, that meeting would not be necessary. Steve wouldn’t even have his fifty-five minutes. “But I’ll tell you this much,” Ralph was saying. “I was getting real close this trip. But I had to stop. I was coming down with the sniffles.” , “The sniffles . . oh, I’m sorry." “Don’t be upset. It was a false alarm. I wouldn’t expect you to dance with me if I had the sniffles." “Don’t be silly.”I would have danced with Ralph Tolley if he had had the cholera It had suddenly become very necessary for me to dance with him. I had just remembered a dirty little trick of Anita's that I could use to spirit Ralph away. I-went to the music controls. "What shall we begin with?” 1 asked. “Well, my waltz is weak’” “Let's strengthen that waltz of yours.” What my pupil’s waltzing lacked in technique was made up for in exuberance. If he brandished his Geiger counter with half so much enthusiasm, he was a cinch i. to be a millionaire by Christmas. It wasn't until the third time around the studio that I caught up to him, got close enough to him to double-cross him. I put my left foot under his right one. . . .
