' - Q. ■■ O The government announces that unemployment last month was the highest of any November since World War 11. Could it be that with two and a half million out of work and war flaring up in the Middle East and Hungary that Eisenhower’s peace and prosperity platform was just campaign oratory? „ ■ — „o—o Traffic accidents are more spectacular, but home accidents are more common. A farmer was killed in a fall from his hay mow in this area on the same day a lady was found knocked out for 36 hours tff the fall of a grandfather’s dock which she was dusting. Familiarity with our surroundings makes us careless. . o-o - Officially, the Eisenhower-Nix-on ticket is the winner in race for president and vice-president. The electoral colleges meeting this week showed the Republican candidates beat the Democratic candidates by 437 to 73 electoral votes. It is also the first time in 108 years that a president has been elected without carrying Congress for his party. The election proved that Republicans had a strong leader and no party and the Democrats had a strong party and no leader. In many respects the real winner was the late SeMUBF Bob Taft, whose coalition of Southern Democrats and Northern Republicans will control Congress. o o Decatur has made great progress in the last few years in improving its conditions to make it more acceptable to local industry as well as new industry considering this fer a new site. As in any community all is not perfect, but it appears that the town is on the right track. In choosing a new factory location, schools, hospitals and recreational facilities are high on the

list. Probably no city this size in the country ranks higher in this respect. One of the most important factors is availability of industrial ground. Civic minded businessmen of the community are in the process of completing a drive- to raise sufficient funds to buy a sizeable industrial site in the west part of the city. Three major problems which faced both present and new industry in the community were tackled in a friendly way by the industrial division of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce under the leadership of Lowell Harper, program chairman for the year. These were sufficient power, water and sewage disposal. After developing information as to shortages in these fields, the facts were presented to city officials. One has been solved with the signing of a contract a few weeks ago to purchase power and stand-by service from the Indiana-Michi-gan power company. Two remain, one being insufficient water. Present facilities can not supply enough to guarantee the normal expansion of industrial and home use. A survey on the situation will be completed within the next few weeks, which may provide an answer. The sewage disposal system is now awaiting approval of a federal grant. A tremendous change has taken place in the last few years in the attitude of our citizens as to the need for gradual growth of the community. Ninety per cent of the leaders have assisted in the development of the industrial program and the first benefits 'are begimuag to appear. While the community is disappointed it was not chosen as the site for one of the factories it has asked to locate here, the industrial committee is learning the facts of life the hard way. Our community is good. It is getting better. Our facilities next year should be sufficient that Decatur can compete with any city in the country for new industry. And the by-prbduct of this effort will be the increased satisfaction of our present industry which, in the long run, has been our bread and butter and will continue to be the backbone of our local economy.

State Police Warn Indiana Motorists State-Wide On-Spot Drunkometer Tests INDIANAPOLIS (UP)-S ta t e police today warned motorists who mix gasoline with alcohol they will be subject to state-wide on-the-spot "drunk-o-meter” tests during the Christmas-New Year holiday period. Supt. Frank A. Jessup said for the first time patrol cars throughout Hoosierland will be equipped with the testing devices from Dec- 22 through Jan. 1. The device, actually called a “breathalyzer.” involves a chemical analysis of a suspect’s breath to determine alcohol content. Whenever a driver is suspected of drinking, troopers will radio the nearest “mobile field laboratory” to come to the scene for a test, Jessup said. He warned “drivers who fail to make a passing grade will go to jai. “Our target is the fringe drinker,” Jessup said. “He’s the fellow who hasn’t absorbed enough alcohol to show the usual symptoms of drunkeness, but his judg-

CHAPTER 34 IV THEN Ralph Tolley landed on W my left foot I cried out with 1 painful groan that was not wholly hynpcrltical. I sat down mi the floor and grabbed my ankle. Poor Mr. Tolley was almost tearful He kept mumbling how sorry he was. “No,” I said. “My fault.” ‘•Shall I call a doctor?” “No! No . . this often happens to me. I’ll be all right, except that In about half an hour my ankle will swell like a balloon." “I’d better call a doctor.” “ND! But there’s something you can do. You can help me home.” “Os course, certainly." “Y6u run ahead and find a cab, hold it at the door for me.” “Then I’ll come back and help you.” “No!” I said irritably. "Didn’t you hear me? I'll be all right for a while. You get the cab, hold it, stay with IL I’ll follow you down in a minute." “AH right , .." "And listen, rd appreciate it if you wouldn’t mention this to a soul. If Mr. Bell heard about my weak ankles . . . well, it would mean a dishonorable discharge tor me . . . “1 won’t tell a soul.” “And hurry . . . don't stop to talk to anybody !” “Os course not." ... He burned away. I got to tny . feet and went to the door of the studio. I waited until I heard an elevator’s doors open and close, then 1 grabbed my coat and headed cautiously for the reception room. Caution was unneeesjary; the room was empty. Twenty minutes later . . . thirty-five minutes to four . . . I was limping into our apartment, Mr. Tolley’s hand under my elbow. 1 let him escort me Into the bedroom. I sat on the edge gs my bed. “Would you mind,” I said, “my ilippers ... they’re in that closet there.” “Not at all,” Ralph said. He opened the closet door, itooped into it to look for the (tippers which were under my bed. Swiftly, silently, as treacherous as a lady coyote fighting for her mate, I was behind Ralph. With a diabolical thrust I ient him tumbling into the closet. I slammed shut the door. I locked it. Inside the closet there was a great thrashing abouL • “Mr. Talley,” 1 called, “listen to me. I’ll let you out as soon as , 1 can,” He began pounding at the door, yelping at me. -

ment and ability to drive have deteriorated to the danger point.” Jessup hoped the system would help hold the line on the 1956 traffic death toll which totaled 1,146 as of last Sunday midnight, according to State police provisional figures. The toll for the comparable date id 1955 was 1,076. Os this year’s total, 894 persons were killed in rural areas, 252 in urban crashes. Big Time Realtor Spends All On Ads Implores People To Love Neighbor WASHINGTON (UP) — One of Washington’s biggest realtors never signs checks, carries no life insurance and spends his earnings on full-page newspaper ads imploring people to “love thy neighbor.” Leon Ackerman says the money he makes from such things as a 20-million-dollar real estate project in Florida is “all God’s money." Ackerman has aroused national interest through his newspaper, ads'

” “Mr. Tolley " 1 pieaoea, “aon t be a problem.” He pounded harder, yelped louder. “AH right!" I shouted. "If you're going to be unreasonable. . . ." I left him and hurried out of the apartment. It was seventeen minutes to the hour of four when I returned to the dancing school building. 1 was my elevator's only passenger. 1 leaned back against the rear wall and tried to think of an explanation for my absence If Leone demanded one of me. But I couldn’t seem to concentrate. I was only thinking of Steve . . . he had seventeen minutes left to prove he wasn’t a murderer. How was he doing . . . where was he? Suddenly I realized that the elevator boy was speaking to me. I said, “1 beg your pardon?" “He got another one.” “Who?- Who got another what?” "I just this minute heard it on the radio in the basement. A news flash. The Waltzer has struck again!” “What?” “Yep. Again. Murdered her and hid the body.” “Who ... whom did he murder now?” ‘ "A new teacher at the school . . . Hester i rosu“ “Hester Frost!” I covered my face with my hands. "Oh, no, not Hester!” “Yep. You know her?” I nodded. "Hester and I were very close. How did it happen?" “He lured her into a rendezvous on Third Avenue. Some guy named Wendell Kipp seen them together. He tried to intervene, but the Waltzer dragged Hester up on a roof. That's the last she was ever seen.” “Poor Hester." “The police.” the bdy said, "are searching for the body.” "And when they find it," I said, "it will no doubt be mutilated.” "Yep,” the boy said. “Mutilated beyond recognition.* The elevator door slid open.

I was careful not to disturb her. 1 made it I gat through the reception room, into Studio K. This would be the safest place for Hester Frost to be when the news of her horrible end hit the school. It was twelve minutes to four. Steve had had more than two hours to work on the tapes, to try to find in them the solution to Anita’s murder. He bad been interested only In the Stubby record’nj and then only in certain

which have appeared from coast to coast and through thousands of Christmas cards he sends out each year carrying religious messages. “I don’t worship anything I can’t take with me," he said in an interview at his bustling real estate office here. Ackerman, who appears to be enjoying life fully, is a large man with silver hair, a grey moustache and greying, bushy eyebrows. Ho is 58. ' • He explained that his “resurrection” occurred in 1949 after a hard SLPatrlck’s Day binge. Since then, he said, he hasn’t touched liquor or tobacco and has tried to follow the teachings of Jesus, particularly the law of love. Ackerman said he was deeply concerned about how people are being “hypnotized to hate." “It’s a terrible thing. The tendency to hate is the most dangerous thing in the world.” The newspaper ads at first ware anonymous. But he said the New York Times a few years ago refused to take a ad unless he signed his name to it. So the ads now cany his name in small letters at the bottom, with bis office address, but no mention of his business pursuits or the name of his firm. "Every penny I earn personally goes into those ads,” he said. He says he has no idea bow much money he has spent on the ads. Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LKB Q. When eating grapes at the table, how does one remove the seeds from the mouth? A. These should be removed as unobtrusively as possible with the fingers. Never, under any circumstances, be guilty of dropping them directly from the mouth to the plate! Q. How is the invitation to a house wedding worded? A. The same as that to a church wedding, except that the home address is substituted for the name of the church. And. usually, the initials “R.s.v.p.” are added at the bottom. Q. When, tor any reason, the hostess of a dance cannot or does not dance, should the male guests ask her to dance anyway? A. It isn’t necessary to ask her to dance, but each man should "sit out” at least one dance with her. The No. 1 cause for fires in the United States last year was careless smoking and matches, which led to 122,000 fires.

portions or it. There had been something on that tape that had given him a clue, that had given him hope. 1 forced my mind back, trying to remember every word of dialogue, every Inflection of those two voices. Come m, Stubby, let’s talk.._. don't Wanna talk . . . dinner at MarptottFs . . . you hated Walter . . . you tailed Walter ... yon did the world a favor . . . Steve had spoken to me then. The volume had been too loud, he’d said, it was blurring. But be hadn’t wanted tne to play that part over again; it was the end of ft he wanted especially to bear. 1 paced back and fort! along the mirrored walls trying to remember exactly how the record had ended. Anita’s voice had been a wheedling whisper. That was smart, Stubby . . . last August it was . . . and the police still think it was an accident . . . Stubby’s voice had broken through hers, his speech drunker, drowsier than before. Tired ... so tired . . . gold medal.. . Then Anita again, pleading. Wait, Stubby, don't fold up now . . . And in loud disgust: ... oh, damn you, Stubby . . . That was the end of Stubby, there wasn’t any more because the phone had rung and Anita had answered it. She had said, Bello ... the same to you ... who is «... fast a second . . . The recording had stopped there. ■ r . It was eight minutes to four, and I knew that 1 wasn't going to be the one who had ferreted out the secret in that tape. If Steve hadn't succeeded tn doing it ... I stopped my pacing and 1 was storing at the floor in the center of the room . . .at a small piece ot black paper that lay there. It hadn’t been there a few moments ago; on this smooth glistening floor it was as conspicuous as a muddy dinosaur footprint. 1 took a step toward it and saw what it was. It was a silhouette of me, a cut-out of my unclasslcdl but serviceable profile. 1 wan intrigued, 1 was irresistibly drawn to thia miner work of art and, as I stepped closer, 1 saw the heavy darning needle sticking through it. 1 was about to bend over and pick it up when I jerked back. 1 stepped quickly away, back to the mirrored wall I had remembered another piece of black paper like this one. I bad found it to Anita Farrell's dead hand- It had been a silhouette of her . . . What ean Connie do? Read ot her last spine-chilling momenta in the murder room to- - morrow.

Study New Proposal On Oil Development Secretary Seaton Studies Proposal / WASHINGTON (UP)—Secretary of the Interior Frecfc A. Seaton is studying a new proposal for development of oil and other resources on Indian lands. It would enable the Indians to gamble for more profits for their resources. It also would provide the Indians with away to oil development on thelr-fand without waiting for oil companies to become interested enough to offer competitive bids. Seaton was asked tp study the new proposal as a result of a contract for oil development which he recently rejected. The contract was between the Delhi-Taylor Oil Corp., Dallas, Tex., and the Navajo Indians for oil exploration on five million

acre* at land on the Navajo reservation. The Navajos protested bitterly when Seaton, representing the government in its 1 role of protecting its Indian “wards,” stepped in to reject the contract. Seaton acted after Oliver La Farge, president of the Association on American Indian Affairs, and others questioned whether the Indians were getting a fair deal. Paul Jones, chairman of the Navajo Tribal Council, and Norman M. Littell. general counsel for the tribe, urged Seaton to take a new look at the development program and the possibility of letting . the Indians negotiate deals such as the Delhi-Taylor contract. Seaton agreed to study the proposal, Littell said. In rejecting the Delhi - Taylor contract Seaton questioned its legality and said it was in effect a lease agreement. The law precludes the leasing of any Indian reservation lands for oil and gas development without advertising for competitive bids. Trade in a Goon Town -IX J»
