If you get nipped by the flu bug, regardless of what the television commercials advise, it’s still a good bet to consult ypur family physician. ——o o Roads are still treacherous and motorists are advised to be careful, especially on side roads. Pedestrians also are cautioned that many Decatur sidewalks are slippery and dangerous. o o Fuel oil and coal dealers have had a busy 24 hours, as the mercury hovers around the zero mark and there is no indication the cold weather will let up for a while. It's a dry cold, and those who remember those hot August days are thoroughly enjoying it. ■ 0- o The President started his southwest tour today, to see firsthand in the last several years. Lack of rain has turned a large section of the Southwest into a dust bowl. Out of the inspection tour probably will come some suggestions of federal aid for those who have suffered great losses. o o Many of the money-saving sales in Decatur stores will end this week. Shoppers are urged to take advantage of the sales. The money you save will be a good starter for your summer vacation fund and if you continue to shop in Decatur, the first thing you know, you will have saved enough to provide all the money you need for that week at some lake. o——o Naturalization ceremonies will be held this week in Adams Circuit Court for several persons who will become American citizens. Judge Myles Parrish always conducts the ceremony with all the gravity and seriousness' which should be accorded such a function. It Is a privilege to be an American and receive all the freedom we are granted. o o We’re inclined to agree with Governor Craig, in his advocating abolition of capital punishment. It seems like a Barbaric way to mete out justice and after all, the subject, at the most only suffers a few seconds for his crime. If he were given an absolute life sentence, certainly it

would be sufficient punishment and he’d have all his natural life to live with his misdeed. —o—coCongratulations to the Berne Bears, first and second teams, who walked off with the. Adams county basketball titles in the annual Adams county high school basketball tournament at Adams Central. The Bears displayed the necessary power when the going got rough, and the will to win at all times. That final game was a tough blow to Hartford’s pride, being their first defeat of the season. Hartford players displayed good sportsmanship, however, and each of the players expressed an anxious desire to meet the Champs in the Sectional tourney. —o——-o—— Annual reports of major autoism reveal ia most instances that production and sales are down considerably from the 1955 figures. Several causes are advanced for drop in totals. The industry, through its distributors did an excellent selling job in 1955 and money for purchase of new cars was more available at a lower interest rate. The industry is not discouraged, however, which is a good sign and dealers throughout the nation pre still in a very competitive mood. This tends to give all industry encouragement and most economists are still predicting a banner 1957 from a business standpoint. - r - 4 . : o O►— The Indiana General Assembly is starting its first full week of grinding out laws today. Usually, the first month of the 61-day session is a slow process of studying proposed legislation and offering changes in the measures offered by the members. This is the period when the lobbyists and special interest groups get in their best licks. Legislators will be banqueted, wined and dined. Good Legislators will merely listen and then confer with theiradvisors; a few Will be looking for fat favors and a few dollars. These are in the minority, however and as a general rule, out of the confusion will come some pretty fair legislation. And after all who would change the present process?

ExPresidenf Truman Backs Ike Doctrine Places Political Leadership To New Severe Test By Act WASHINGTON (UP) - Former President Trufrian has put his political leadership to a new severe test which may obtain another painful repudiation. Surprisingly, Mr. Truman has turned away in this instance from his long-time ally and foreign policy adviser, former Secretary of State Dean Acheson. Mr. Truman’s ups and downs have excited American politics for years. He has specialized in the unpredictable and the impossible. Mr. Truman’s biggest UP was nomination and election to the vice presidency in 1944, which led shortly to the White House. He established himself as Democratic Party boss in 1948 by coming from nowhere to win the presidential election from Thomas E. Dewey of New York. j Mr. Truman hand-picked Adlai E. Stevenson, of Illinois in 1952 to be his successor. Stevenson promptly lost the presidential election to resigned General Dwight D. Eisenhower. Mr. Truman ceased at that point to be the Democratic Party boss. CoavenMoa Bebaffs If there was any doubt about that, last year’s Democratic National Convention clarified the situation by nominating for president and vice president the two 'Democrats Mr. Truman most actively opposed. ——7 -4-v-Seldom has a past president so J boldly risked his prestige nor has i any in modern times been more coldly rebuffed by a national convention. Mr. Truman is a tough politician, however. He does not bruise nor embarrass easily. So, today he is out in front of his party —way out in front—with a summons to Congress to give to President Eisenhower the blank check on Middle East policy which he requested the week Congress convened. Moreover, Mr. Truman wrote in an article distributed in Sunday’s newspapers that the United States should have acted forcefully long ago with the fleet to prevent delivery of Communist arms to Egypt or to other Arab countries, Sapports Ike Doctrine As for the new Eisenhower Doctrine, Mr. Truman wrote: “If I now were a member of the U.S, Senate, I would support the rfr' quest for congressional authorization to use the armed forces of the United States against any Communist or Communist-domi-nated aggressor in the Middle East. “And I would quickly approve granting him the funds he seeks to extend economic (and military) aid to help the Middle East nations maintain their independence. “The situation is too dangerous to delay action on these requests for any partisan or political considerations.’’ Acheson told congressional questioners a few days earlier that the Eisenhower Doctrine was “far too hazardous a course even to be hinted at.” There must be delay because Congress wants to ask a great many questions. Mr. Truman has taken publicly a position on the Eisenhower Doctrine far beyond that to which the Democratic congressional leadership has permitted itself to be committed. If the Democratic Congress approves the doctrine as stated by Mr. Eisenhower and as approved

by Mr. Truman, the latter’s prestige as a party leader will regain a lot of shine and substance at the expense of the party leadership in Congress. Hungarian Leader Denounced By Son Horvath Denounced By Refugee Son KAPFENBERG, Austria (UP)-— The son of Hungarian Foreign Minister Imre Horvath denounced his father today as a Communist” who approved of political ‘'liquidations.” Imre Horvath, Jr., 30, told about life with a Communist father ad he rested in a refugee camp in this provincial town, where he fled to freedom with his 4-year-old son, Sandor, several weeks ago. I never agreed with my father, and we had bitter political arguments," Horvath said. “My father was a dyed-in-the-wool Communist who spent most of the pre-war years in Hungarian jails along with farmer premier Matyas Rakosa and other latter-day Stalinists." The younger' Horvath said he used to tell his father of unrest in the factories, “but he never listened to me.” “I had the impression he and the other Communist leaders cared little about what the workers thought I remember I was especially shocked when I talked with him about the fate of Laszlo Rajk former a Hungarian foreign ministef wfrti »rexecuted in 1949 as a Titoist traitor. “I told my father everybody in Hungary knew that scores of innocent people were being tried and executed. But be just replied: "It is better to liquidate hundreds of innocent people than to let one guilty person stay within the ranks of the party’.” Young Horvath hopes to go to Sweden under sponsorship of the Catholic Welfare Conference. “I prefer freedom of thought, so I fled,” he said.

Ouery Hospital For Freeing Crazed Man Discharged Mon Killed Wife, Son CHICAGO (TO — Officials at Elgin State hospital were to be questioned today about their discharge of a crazed father who shot and killed his wife and fatally knifed his Infant son. Leonard Glenn, 35, described as “raying and violent” following the slayings, told police “a good spirit entered me and told me my wife was cheating on me, so I shot her." Coroner Walter McCarron said Glenn had to be strapped to a bed at psychopathic hospital here. He said Glenn's statements were "completely irrational.” McCarron summoned officials of the state mental institution, where Glenn was committed in 1954, to testify at the inquest into the deaths of Mrs. Betty Jane Glenn, 33, and her son,! Alexander, 6 months. Glenn’s father, Effie, said his son received a medical discharge from the Army during World War 11. He was committed to Elgin State hospital, but was released a few months later, the father said. Authorities learned of the slayings when they found Glenn and his five children sitting in their car stuck in a snowdrift in suburban Melrose Park Friday night. •» Polio Patient Asks Donations io Fund Mrs. Don Arnold, former Decatur resident who is now a patient at City Hospital in Cleveland, 0., suffering the effects of a severe case of polio, is reported doing y.\’l-..
