We are sure the public in general will approve of the action of Judge Myles F. Parrish of Adams circuit court in his ordering of enforcement of the 10 o’clock curfew statute in this county. The order, effective at once, is a protective measure for the good children. not the incorrlgibles. Judge Parrish has shown deep concern for the Youth of our Community and he has made a long study of juvenile delinquency. He is a lenient man, but he has been hurt by the actions of a very small minority of the community's children and he has stated that “there is no place in our civilization for bad boys and girls.” We congratulate the Court on his quick and complete action in abating a nasty local situation. Cooperation of all parents is asked in the carrying out of the new order ban- ( ning children on the streets after 10 o’clock at night. We are sure the police and sheriff’s departments will cooperate. 0 O'--Criticism of Eisenhower from within the Republican party has . increased considerably since the election. In a ten minute speech before the House of Represntativs, Republican congressman Clare E. Hoffman, of Michigan, said, “The President and his leftwing, free-spending, international one-world advisers propose to disinfect, fumigate, purify, renovate, unify, and remake the Republican party. The avowed purpose is to, in the most approved dictatorial, military fashion, purge the party of all those who do not enthusiastically accept a political

philosophy heretofore demonstrated in many a land to be fallacious.” Where was Congressman Hoffman during the Reppblican convention last summer? Or was politics more Important than principle before the election? 11 -o— o On February 4 the United States Senate unanimously confirmed the renomination of Arthur E. Summerfield as Postmaster General of the United States. Three and a half pages of the Congressional record were dedicated to praising the former car dealer who managed Eisenhower’s first campaign. While northern Democrats and Eastern Republicans sat in stony silence, the postmaster was lavishly praised for “developing new methods,” increased efficiency of the “delivery of the mails,” “cutting down expenses” and “bringing the post office department refreshingly new ideas.” As we well remember Summerfield increased efficiency of mail delivery by reducing mail deliveries in residential areas. His “refreshingly new ideas” no doubt mean painting mail boxes red, white and blue. He has cut down expenses so that it is now necessary to ask Congress to raise the cost of regular mail from three cents to five cents. At this rate we will soon look back with longing to the “good old days” of Truman’s administration when three cent letters were delivered twiee a day to our homes from drab but inexpensive"green mail boxes. i <m>

CHAPTER 26 CASSON wore a thoughtful look. "Macfarlane was drunk. He might have knocked the bottle over and picked it up the wrong way?” "I know,” said Strutt "But I believe that what actually happened is this:—Perry wrapped his hand in his handkerchief, or something like that, and poured a dose for Macfarlane. When Macfarlane was doped, Perry gripped the boy’s hand round the bottle so that there were certain to be some clear prints of the boy’s on it That was necessary in case the cleaner had wiped ell the prints oft tho« morning before. If the post-mortem found chloral in the body and if there were nd prints on the bottle, it would look very odd. Perry couldn’t have risked that Even so the prints don’t prove anything.” “You don’t ihink there'll be anything in the body to prove he didn’t commit suicide? Any other sort of drug?” “The post-mortem is tomorrow morning. We’ll know then. But I doubt it Perry wouldn’t have made that blunder.” “You’ll want me at the inquest?” “Certainly not Perry may be there. I don’t want him to see you. He mustn't know you are mixed up tn thia” “Surely he wonk dare attend ?" “He may.” "Suppose the coroner returns a verdict of murder?” “He won’t He’ll Just find the cause of death. It’ll be an open verdict There’ll be no evidence of fingerprints. And I’ve fixed the woman — what’s her name — Queenleigh, to say that It was she who found the body.” “What part are you planning for me?” “You are the only person who is near to Perry. Somehow you've got to get him. You’ve got to keep up this game of living in * Blckersteth Street and drinking beer with the little swine.” “What about the girl?” Caston asked. “She's as safe as a house. It's obvious that Perry killed Macfarlane because the boy wanted to marry Jean Shaw and marry her | quick."

COURT NEWS Compjaint Filed A William Steffen vs. Clifton Hart and Patricia Hart, a complaint for damages, was filed in the circuit court. The plaintiff alleges that his car suffered 8700 damages in an automobile wreck February 20, 195$ and that Mrs. Hart, in a car owned by Hart, had run a stop sign at the intersection, causing the accident. Metlon Set In the complaint on promissory note of the Schwartz Ford Cdm- ( pany vs Hubert Wolfe and Margaret Wolfe, on motion of plaintiff, a motion to make complaint more specific was set .for argument February 15 at 3 p.m. Answer Absolute In the complaint for damages of Emmco Insurance Co. vs Edgar Clem and Everett Stewart, the defendant was ruled to answer absolute within ten days. — Argument Set In the complaint on account of Paul E. Hammond vs Ray B. Friedley, the motion of the plaintiff to withdraw reply was filed and granted. The plaintiff’s motion to strike answer was set for argument February 15 at 2 p.m. Estate Cases The inheritance tax appraiser’s report in the Ferd L. Litterer estate was filed, showing the total value of-the estate at $199,196.01, claims against the estate amounted to 810,733.82, and the value for tax purposes was listed at 8188,733.70.

“And so, because he dared to kill Macfarlane, we can assume that the girl knew nothing and Perry didn’t have to bother about her? Or at any rate, that Perry was sure in his own mind that she knew nothing?” “That’s right. Therefore she’s safe.” Casson rose to go. As he did so he pulled a long envelope out of his inside pocket. “Here's my statement,” he said. “TU sign it now and you can witness it” “Good. Sign away.” Strutt was becoming genial, and with a flutter of excitement Casson recognized the sign. When Strutt was genial on a job he was at his most dangerous. “One more thing," said the policeman as Casson was walking to the door. “You might like to try your charms on Jean Shaw. She took one look at me and jhut up like a clam.” “You dazzled her,” Casson remarked and shut the door. But Casson waited till the day of the inquest to make his visit to Jean Shaw. He took his car out to Putney, driving slowly and lazily. Disraeli Road was deserted, decently somnolent, its tall, detached houses made to lose some of their normal Victorian pomposity and to look almost raffish in the overburdening gaiety of light. A tell, heavy-boned woman of about fifty opened the door to him. "Miss Shaw is indisposed,” she replied to Casson’s question. There was a Scot’s inflection in her voice. “I am afraid she will be receiving no visitors.” •It is a police matter,” he said. She hesitated. “Very well. Come in. You had better see her in the parlor." Jean Shaw was quite attractive but not pretty. She sat down on the edge of the sofa, her hands in her lap, looking at him. "I am sorry, but I have told you everything I can,” she said. “So the police thought." "You are not a policeman?" She stood up. Casson shook his head. “You are a journalist?" “Please sit down, Miss Shaw," he said. “I am not a journalist. Nor am I a policeman. But X am ’ '• «

In the matter of Roger D. Sipe, minor son of Bernice Sipe, widow, his mother and natural guardian, a covenent not to sue was filed and approved. QUEEN (Continued from FMH On*) followed reports in the Baltimore Sun that the royal Couple was at odds over “another woman.” Members of the royal family often have been the subject of many and varying rumors, but Buckingham Palace reacted with unusual speed to this latest report. Britain’s press, by unanimous agreement, ignored the report of the rift completely, obviously taking the position that the rift rumor was too ridiculous to put in print. British sources said the American story placed the palace in the position of the man who was asked if he had stopped beating his wife. If the palace did not deny the report, some would take it as an indication something was wrong. A royal denial could bring cries of "Ah ha...” Sentenced To Jail For Intoxication Fred Engle was sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $1 and costs for public intoxication. Engle was tried by Mayor Robert Cole in city court at 9 o’clock this morning. He had been arrested Thursday at 11:10 p.m. by the city police. Trade in a good town — Decatur

She turned away from him. “Exactly," he continued. “1 do not believe it either. I believe that Jim Macfarlane was murdered.” She turned back to him; staring. "But—but why ? No one would have wanted to —to kill Jim. He never harmed anybody. He couldn’t” “Jim was murdered because he knew a criminal." "A criminal? Jim? Oh, no. It couldn’t have been." “What couldn’t have been?" “Jim knowing someone like that He Just wouldn’t" She sat down again on the edge of the sofa, and looked fixedly at her feet , He broke in on her. "Ws want to catch the man who murdered him, Miss Shaw. We think you can help.” “I have already told the police everything I know,” she said, without looking up. “Somewhere," he persisted, “there may be a tiny clue—something he said or did which you wouldn’t think important, something which we can fit into the picture of his murder.” "No," she said stubbornly. “1 am afraid not And I do not believe that he was murdered." “He was,” replied Casson. “Will you tell me everything?" She hesitated. “Jim and I quarrelled before — . before he died.” "People in love often quarrel," he said gently. Her voice was shaky when she answered him. “We had been quarrelling for —oh, it seemed ages. It was a nightmare. There was nothing I could do to stop it He went on and on, and I couldn’t say I was sorry because I wasn’t" “What was the quarrel about?" His pulses were hammering. She looked straight at him and said defiantly: "Jim said I was unfaithful." Casson discovers Macfartane’s Innocence In Chapter 27 here tomorrow.

Hunter, Judge of LdGrange circuit court, LaGrange, Indiana.” Judge Hunter, a well-known state authority on Lincoln, addressed the group on "Lincoln of Indiana—America's Greatest Son, First Citizen of the World.” Pointing out that more has been written about Lincoln than any man except the Savior, Judge Hunter recounted lessons from the life of Lincoln to inspire the hearers. Lincoln, he emphasized,, belonged to an age not of one great American but of many great Americans. He listed some of the great orators, newspapermen, and generals of the period. The part that Indiana played in the drama of Lincoln’s life was described. Judge Hunter closed with “The years go their way, but the same old mountains lift their granite shoulders above the drifting clouds and the same mysterious sea beats upon the shore, and the same silent stars keep holy vigil above a tired world. But to mountains, sea, and stars men turn forever in universal homage. And this was Lincoln, for he was mountain in grandeur of spirit; he was sea in undervoice of mystic loneliness; he was star in steadfast purpose of purity and of service. He was a saint of humanity, a Christ in miniature. The consummate American, first citizen of the world, and he too abides . . .

Communists Plan For | Weekend Convention I

By ROBERT K. JACKSON ■ United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (UP) — American J Communists are looking to 16 million Negroes, the peril of inflation | and a sharp shift in tactics to j spark a comeback. , < The decks are cleared for the i four-day 16th national party convention opening in New York this ( Saturday. Three hundred delegates, < including recent alumni from fed- ] eral prisons, will gather to ’‘debate” — and approve —a rgsolu- ( tion of independence from Moscow ] and a new 6,000-word constitution. 1 They may be asked to ratify 1 changes in the party leadership. 1 The new constitution all o* s members to dissent from party decisions — If this does not “en- i danger party unity.” It says that j afl strikebreakers, spies and advo- 1 cates of overthrowing or subvert- ( ing American democratic institutions will be expelled. i William Z. Potter, postwar party chairman, is on the way out, ac- , ; cording to Communist sources. He i is 76 and ill. He is a Staliniyt t alone on the national council Op- ; posed the “break” with Moscow. ] He defended the Soviet action in ; Hungary. He has spoken for the i ! militants, the “tough” line. Foster has backing from an important quarter, however. As re- . cently as last Sunday, Soviet Com- ] : munist organs defended him j against “right wing” and “national” Communists in the American movement. This puts pressure on 1 his foes. They may have to revise : the resolution. Arrayed opposite him is a faction • led by John Gates, editor of The < Daily Worker, chief advocate of ] the “soft” approach, the Tito- • style “independence” from Mos- ( cow. I Confess Some Errors Straddling the middle is Eugene Dennis, the gray-haired party secretary, who has a habit of abstaining on controversial votes. Foster’s successor is anyone’s i guess and may not make any dlf- 1 ference. The chairman is not all- 1 powerful. The Communists will discuss ; these “serious” errors, self-con- ■ fessed: . .. 1. The par t Jr underestimated American capitalism by predicting 1 depressions in 1945, 1949 and 1954 which never came. It relied too : much on Soviet judgments about what was happening in prosperous America. i Yet party officials still wistfully rely on “inflation” and “recession” as their hope to regain old hnem-r bets and win new ones. 2. It incorrectly believed that America would start World War
