High School Juniors Make Tour Os Farms 65 Decatur Juniors • Visit Three Farms Trips to three farms ih Union township on the last afternoon of school introduced 85 juniors from Decatur high school to the mysteries of farming. “Town kids" discovered some of the secrets of dairy farming, farm equipment, silage and farm records in visitsto the farms of Ben Gerke, Ed Wass, and Edgar Thieme. Teachers Bob Worthman and Deane Dorwin accompanied the group. The three-hour afternoon trip was arranged by Jean and Jane Wass, Dave Eichenauer, and Junior Roth. They planned the itinerary, and made the necessary arrangements. Larry Moses, president of the junior class, won a runt pig on the Gerke farm by catching it. The juniors promptly planned to raise the pig as a class project. Several names were suggested for it, and the name “Deane” led all polls until it was discovered that "Mrs. Deane” would be more appropri-* ate. ' One of the town boys, Bob Banks, openly scoffed at the idea that a radio was in the barn to soothe the cows, although Susan Heller told him that it was. He was finally convinced when the farmer’s wife told him that the steady radio music kept outside noises from disturbing the cows during milking. Further plans of the county commissioners include the painting of two barns and other buildings at the county farm. More definite action will be taken at the next commissioners* meeting. Mrs. Lase Grimm is a patient in the Parkview Hospital at Fort Wayne. Her room number is 228.

ELECTRICAL (Contlßned from P.ltr Oaf) the prediction, with little temperature change between Saturday and Monday. The heavy rains sent virtually all streams in the lower half of Hoosierland rising toward or above flood stages. At Delphi, trees and utility lines were downed in such a tangle that traffic had to be routed in the downtown area through a narrow alley. Power lines suffered the most. Temperatures climbed Tuesday to a high of 85 at Evansville and the 70s and high 60s elsewhere, to set the stage for the violent weather. Readings in the 60s were recorded during the night.

French Leader Quits On Loss Os Confidence Mo I let Refuses To Remain As Premier After Vote Tuesday PARIS (UP)—Premier Guy Mollet refused “absolutely” today to remain in office following his loss of a vote of confidence, and President Rene Coty began the long and difficult search for France’s 23rd postwar government. The National Assembly toppled the Socialist Party rule of Mollet shortly before midnight when it rejected his call for new taxes for the Algerian war by a vote of 250213. It was not a majority of the 596-man house sine? 133 persons were absent or did not vote. But it was enough for Mollet and the 51-year-old premier quit. Though the vote was on his call for 420 million dollars in next taxes the outcome reflected the divided feelings of France’s 13 political parties, on such diverse subjects as the Algerian rebellion, the Suez Canal invasion and the fight against inflation. Poses Big Problem And it was this sharp division that presented Coty with the extremely difficult task of finding a new premier acceptable to the assembly which grouped itself in a dozen different ways to give Mollet 33 previous votes of confidence. Sometimes Mollet had the support of the left and sometimes the right, and although his tenure was the longest of any postwar French premier—ls months and three weeks—it was as shaky as the 21 others during the 11 years of the Fourth Republic. Mollet was expected to remain on as a caretaker premier until Coty can select another leader. But he will be without power to take major decisions and France will have only a token voice in world affairs. Effects of Resignation His resignation had these immediate effects: —The government’s fight against the Algerian rebellion was severely curbed and new anti-French riots were feared. —lmportant questions were left unsolved about the Suez Canal and whether France will end its boycott. —President Coty’s state visit to Washington next week may have to be cancelled; he was to have left Monday. * Mollet was brought down on the tax question alone by a combination of abstentions by the 45 Radical Socialists led by Pierre Men-des-France, a former premier, and by an adverse vote from the Independents who formerly supported him. Mendes-France has fiercely opposed Mollet’s “tough handling of the Algerian rebels. A few names suggested themselves as possible premier—Antoine Pinay, a former premier who won popularity with his “save the franc” campaign in 1952; Rene Pleven, also a former premier and author of the ill-fated European army plan. . ' But the Socialists remained the key party, and it appeared certain Coty would ask Mollet to try again. FOLLY ryot Fage O»e) Therefore, he said, “the free nations cannot safely reduce their military strength merely in reliance upon promissory agreements by the Soviet rulers to reduce correspondingly.” "Price of Peace” The President told his nationwide audience that his foreign aid figure was the "minimum" and any further cuts eventually would mean a bigger army, bigger draft calls, longer draft terms, and more billions for defense.

Two River Pirates Captured By Posse Loot Illinois Bank Os $40,000 Tuesday ■MURPHYSBORO, 111. (UP) - Two “river pirates” who robbed a small town bank of $40,000 eluded the president of another bank in a waterborne chase Tuesday only to be captured by a riverbank posse. They were jailed for questioning today about other plunder along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. The freebooters, Arthur Kerner, 30, and Robert Ferrise, 35, both of St. Paul, Minn., pillaged the First State Bank of Mounds, 111.,< and were headed by boat towards New Orleans when forced to land in Kentucky, where a riverside posse Os state police awaited them. FBI agent Fred Graper said the two admitted a $1,500 tavern robbery in St. Paul and from the booty purchased a 19-foot cabin cruiser last • month. Casting off from St. Paul. Graper said, they headed for New Orleans, replenishing their coffers in a series of river robberies. The pirates were down to their last SIOO when they dropped anchor at Cairo, IU., where the Ohio joins the Mississippi. Sighting Mounds, six miles up the Ohio, they docked their cruiser at nearby Mound City, bought a used car, and sacked the bank at Mounds. They abandoned their car and took to the water again. Six miles downstream, Barney Fisher, president of the Security National Bank of Cairo, picked up a police report and pursued the fleeing craft in his own boat. < Hugging the Kentucky shore, the pirates maneuvered their boat toward the broad expanse of the Mississippi below Cairo. The nautical bank president put on full steam and tracked them downstream until they finally sought to evade their pursuer by slipping into a secluded cove. Kentucky authorities following the chase along the shore were waiting for them as they put ashore. The encircled bandits made a vain attempt to bolt for safety with their paper sacks of money. A blast of gunfire over their heads brought the corsairs to a halt. Authorities said the bandits waived extradition to Illinois and they were "brigged” at the Jackson County jail in Murphysboro. Graper said the two would be questioned today about other alleged forays along the Mississippi. He said they had been involved in “various operations” in St. Paul, and that both had served two terms at the state penitentiary at Stillwater, Minn., on burglary charges. Little Damage Done Here During Storm Very little damage was reported to have taken place in Adams county Tuesday evening as the result of the rain storm. Heavy rain, wind and thunder and lightning plagued this area, but Monmouth appeared to be the only area affected by power failure at any time during the storm. Damage to telephone lines was mainly concentrated in the Berne, Geneva, Bryant area, with that damage caused by falling limbs. The sheriff’s office received no calls concerning storm damage. IKE (C.Btianed from Page O»*> on total disarmament. The President rejected- a suggestion by Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko tnat the United States and Russia agree to inspection on a mile-for-mile basis. The President s»ald this could not be done unless only insignificant areas are considered. He based this comment on the fact that Soviet territory is far larger than this country's. A mile-for-mile system might expose vital U.S. defense regions to inspection without touching critical areas of the Soviet Union. In proposing a test step, Eisenhower said each sid/ will want to see how the other carries out agreements on a trial basis. WHITE HOUSE ( Coating, d from O»«> The 23-year-old enlisted man is charged with having killed Mrs. Naka Sakai last January by firing an empty cartridge case from a grenade launcher while guarding a machine gun post a Camp Weir in Japan. The missile struck the woman in the back. Girard was reported to have been trying to warn shell scavengers away from the Area. The Japanese claim they have the right to try him on criminal charges under the status of forces agreement. The Defense Department at first agreed and then changed its mind. Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson last week ordered Girard retained in American military custody pending a “review” of the situation. Several congressmen have demanded that U.S. military authorities refuse to turn Girard over to the Japanese court.
