Christmas is next week and New Year’s day the following week. Its time to begin thinking up resolutions to break next year. - o--o- - Top news stories this year were the revolt in Hungary and the Suez crisis. It would be wonderful if next year the top news stories could be related to peace instead of war. o - o The quality of Adams county officials is recognized by their associates in other parts of Indiana. Mrs. Mabel Striker, re-elect-ed as Adams county recorder without opposition this year, has been named treasurer of the state association of county recorders, last week. She becomes the second Adams county official to win a state office in a county officials' association. - —O' c — Politics, horse races and Indiana basketball are interesting because the outcome can never be predicted. Yet, we will make one prediction. This will be the most interesting season in years. AU the big guns are aimed at the Hartford Gorillas, only undefeated quintet in the county. This , team of experienced boys are good, but there will be a lot of good teams against them next month in the annual county tourney. If you can’t pick the winners, we suggest you foUow them in the sports section of the Decatur Daily Democrat. * ——O—O—— Two long time favorites among the reading public will disappear from the news stands and mail boxes 'with the demise of the.

Scouting participation ih the community is due to the interest our civic leaders have taken for years in making a wholesome life more interesting for our youth. The Anthony Wayne Area council recognized this good work by awarding the Decatur Rotary club a charter for the 30th consecutive year as a troop sponsor. While we commend the Anthony Wayne Council for its recognition of clubs and organizations in the Scout movement, we question its bookkeeping system as we are well acquainted with Certain men who belonged to the Rotary Boy Scout troop more than thirty years ago. Weren’t Bryce Thomas, W. Guy Brown, Cal Peterson, E. W. Lankenau, Avon Burk, Carl Pumphrey, J. L. Kocher, Sr., W. A. Klepper and the late Dr. Fred Patterson, among many others, Rotary troop leaders and committeemen at least 35 years ago? o o It’s not a well publicized fact, but federal tax collections are now higher than ever before, including the periods of World War II and the Korean situation. Decreases in rates on certain excise and corporation income taxes have been offset by additional revenue through inflation. Treasury officials tell us there is no prospect of a tax cut? next year. The federal gasoline tax has been increased. Social security taxes will be raised. Tax revisions proposed are not for reductions but for shifting the burden. The acceptance of the new gasoline tax rate by the public for road building purposes may mean that our citizens prefer public works to lowered taxes. Some action on federal school aid is almost certain in the next few years as it has been approved by the president and _ many congressional leaders. Politicians and economists may argue about the possibility of the country turning socialistic. but the facts are that socialism is here and apparently here to stay. It’s a good bet that the President, and a sprinkling of Republicans will join the Northern and Western Democrats in an all-out fight against Taft Republicans and Southern Democrats in the next Congress to decide the extent of the increase of Socialism." Politicians are used to strange bedfellows.

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 HARLOW H. CURTICE President, General Motors Corp. Written for United Press The automotive industry will be a leader in a steadily expanding national economy during 1957, providing, of course, that world peace can be maintained. Our industry should produce and sell domestically approximately 6,500,000 automobiles and 900,000 trucks. This is about 10 per cent over 1956 for passenger cars. Total production, including Canada and export to other markets, should approximate 8,300,000 cars and trucks. This market growth will be in line with a further upward trend in general business activity. Our national gross product for 1957 should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 435 billion dollars, with disposable income reaching possibly 300 billion dollars as against 287 billion in 1956. We also can look forward to another year of substantially full employment On this basis, and with a prevailing confidence in our economy, personal consumption expenditures should also continue to increase, from current levels. Although it has been historically proven that prosperity and progress are not based on war or peak level defense expenditures, we can look forward to somewhat higher spending in that area, too. This should be in the neighborhood of 42 billion dollars. Other government spending—fedetal r state and local—also should rise some. The construction industry, which set new highs in each of the last four years, should also continue its upward trend. Housing starts should remain steady with more emphasis on non-residential building. With the new highway program

just getting under way, spending tor highways should be at least 750 million dollars above 1956, or a total of around BMI billion dollars. The tremendoift demand for capital equipment will continue in 1957 and expenditures are even expected to show an increase. These 7 figures can add up to but one thing—another good business year in 1957. My confidence in this, of course, is premised on our continuing successful effort in maintaining peace in the world.

French Leader Urges Russia Quit Hungary Strong Criticism Os Russia Action Voiced By Pineau PARIS (UP) — French Foreign Minister Christian Pineau urged today that Russia get out of Hungary and let Hungary become a neutral country like Austria. "Who could claim that Austria threatens anybody?” he asked. "Yet this country has rediscovered the joy of living.” Pineau spoke at the opening of a three-day foreign affairs .debate that opened with strong criticism by everyone except the Communists of Russian action and United Nations inaction in Hungary. Pineau said the Russians “laughed at” the United Nations and said this “proves that there exist two weights and two measures — depending on whether its recommendations are addressed to democrats or dictators.” Wants U.N. Reform Christian Democrat Georges Bidault, who was premier and foreign minister early in the postwar era, called for a reform of the United Nations and said "right now it is nothing but a maker of collective insecurity.” Once debate gets going on the Middle East the Epench government and the United States an? expected to get plenty of lumps. But the opening subject was Hungary. “The United Nations showed more interest for the difficulties of an Egyptian dictator than for the martydom of a whole people,” Pineau said. “The North Atlantic Treaty Organization in its turn brought up the Hungarian problem but without proposing a new solution likely to end in anything.

Sees Heavy U.S. Criticism Political observers predicted the heaviest blast of criticisffi during the three-day session will be leveled at the foreign policy of the United States, instead of that of France. Premier Guy Mollet is expected to call for and get a vote of confidence when the debate ends Thursday. The main topics will be Algeria, Suez and the growing aloofness of two former French dependencies, Morocco and Tunisia. In each instance the United States is in for a major share of criticism, observers here predicted. They said the heaviest guns will be aimed at LU6. policy in the Middle East for its failure to support French military action in the Suez Canal zone. o ' O I 20 Years Ago i Today o f o Dec. 18, 1956 — The three banks in Adams county which are being liquidated by the Indiana department of financial institutions have paid a total of $166,477.48 this year.
