• i State Fire Marshal Called For Probe The Indiana state fire marshal has been called in to investigate the mysterious smell of gasoline which has plagued Decatur’s main business district for the third straight weekend, Mayor Robert Cole stated this morning. The marshal would have arrived today, but he had four other 'cities to check first for the, same problem. City officials hinted that they know the cause of the trouble, but that the state fire marshal would determine the remedy. Two weeks ago the smell of gasoline was .first noted, and it recurred last Friday. Today many establishments had to leave their doors open in an attempt to dislodge the disturbing and. dangerous tones. Some covered their baseinent drains to prevent the smell from entering the buildings. _/ ' City fire chief Cedric Fisher took charge of flushing the Sewer at Fifth and Monroe streets. More than 16,000 gallons of city water are used each time the flushing process is necessary, city street commissioner Bernard Clark stated. On Thursday 4.000 gallons were used to flush the sewer at Winchester and Elm streets.

Further Study On Supplying Weapons Joint Communique By U.S., Britain WASHINGTON <yP)—U/S. and British defense officials announced jointly today they have put off for further study whether Great Britain should be supplied with "certain American weapons ” They presumably referred to uided missiles whi he c dluobe g guided missiles which could be equipped with atomic warheads. The joint communique was issued following week-long conferences between British Defense Minister Duncan Sandys and Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson and other top U.S. defense officials. The communique, signed by Wilson and Sandys, said the two countries agreed "that priority must be given to maintaining effective military capacity in a high state o (readiness.” It said it is recognized that "financial and economic stability is an essential foundation of military strength," and "due account must be taken of this in considering what a country can contribute to the common defense effort." The British had argued during the talks, which ended Friday, for more reliance* on air - nuclear weapoins in an effort to cut defense spending. A number of U.S. military officials oppose putting too much emphasis bn missiles, contending that regular forces must be maintained to fight small brush-fire wars. ' The communique said the possibility of Britain’s adoption of “certain American weapons was explored," but that the subject "is being referred to the two governments for further consideration.” Sandys also met during the week with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. The communique said they discussed "the international aspects of the military program.” Mr, and Mrs. Deane Dorwln and son John were visitors in Albion, Mich, today. Miss Matilda Sellemeyer is spending the week-end in Chicago, visiting with her niece, Miss Kay Yager.
