Cost of living has dropped off slightly according to latest national statistics, but the decline is scarcely noticeable and is not nearly in line with increases of recent months. Maybe for a month or two we’ll get a breather fro mthe extreme cost of things. ——o—-o The Eisenhower-Southern Governors conference turned out to be a dud and the Arkansas segregation mess continues. Governor Faubus is not revealing what he will do under certain circum- ■■ stances and the federal statute goes unenforced. —o-—o It surely was important that the state highway department spend several hundred dollars for metal signs bearing the name of Governor Handley, to be placed on detour signs. We’re beginning to think that this administration is; just one long detour on the road of good government. —o—o— Vandalism is hard to control. Most of the destruction of property and rifling of automobiles is done at night and the acts are not discovered until the next day. A few harsh punishments when the culprits are caught would end njost of it. Young boys don't like to be branded as Boys School graduates. o—o —- Friday night will be the peak of the Decatur high school football season.

Sickness has plagued the Jackets this week,. but if eleven men are able to dress for the game ft will be a good one because of the intense r valry and at course we re pick--1 g Decatur to win, after the usi d hard scrap. —o o— . •This is an off-election year in Indiana, but soon after the first this next year there will be candidates galore for county and sate offices. Several Adams dLunty prospective candidates are witting out feelers as to their <iiances of being elected or rejected. Next spring is the time $ weed out those not desired and riot fit to hold public office. Those (fficials who violate their oath of < [fice, either in spirit or letter < r both should be discarded for 1 etter officials.

Federal spending continues at a high clip and already the Eisenhower Administration has spent millions more than anticipated, not including golf balls. It means that the more we spend the farther away Income tax relief is. Some officials still have hopes of some reduction in 1958, but those hopes are getting smaller and smaller. o— —o The Hoffa battle with the honest men of the teamsters union will continue to get top billing this week as election of new officers nears. James Hoffa may be elected president of the Union, but the best guess of writers close to the situation is that his regime will be short-lived. There should be no place in the American way of life for the gangster and his allies and the Union itself should do the house-cleaning. ..... . -O' , O'" — The early birds already are heading for the southlands for the .winter and many people of this area have left for Florida and other southern states. Others are planning to leave this month. Maybee it’s because we can’t afford it, but we think they’re missing the finest weather that the middlewest has. October with its Indian Summer and its multi-col-ored scenery can’t be beat any place in the world. Everybody has his own likes and dislikes though. ' o o—- ’ ' Harry Young, for 36 years, superintendent of Decatur Casting Co., has retired. Considered one of the best managers in the gray iron manufacturing field, Mr. Young will be missed by his company for a long time. Glenn A. Mauller, assistant superintendent for the last 26 years is the new superintendent and we congratulate him for the promotion and the company for his selection. Clarence Fishbaugh, assistant under the late Henry Bromer has been elevated to the post of resident manager and Peter R. Rentschler of Hamilton, O. has been named general manager. The Casting company has been a leading Decatur manufacturing concern for many years and its products are considered the best in the Industry. TJie Daily Democrat joins in wishing the new officials continued success in their field and we are sure that the local plant will hold on to its top position in the manufacturing field.

Incentives Under Reserve Program More Incentives Offered Farmers Additional incentives are being offered farmers under the 1958 conservation reserve program to divert more land to conservation uses, Oscar Brown, chairman of the Adams county agricultural stabilization and conservation committee. has announced. The sign up period for the new program is expected to start in early October. Under the conservation reserve —- the long time phase of the soil bank —, farmers contract to divert general cropland to soil, water, foresty and wildlife conservation practices for periods of three, five or 10 years. In return, farmers receive two types of payments on the diverted acreage: (Da costsharing (up to 80 percent! the year they apply a conservation measure, and (2) annual per-acre rental payments each year the land is under contract. Major changes have been made

CHAPTER 24 'T’HE SIGN on the office door 1 said: AARON BEDFORD, INVESTMENTS. ENTER. I I entered the office. There was a secretarial desk, an interoffice communication system, and a "battery of files. No one was in the outer office. The door to the inner office was ajar. I walked through to the Inner office and saw a woman sitting at ■ desk. She had two wicker clothesbaskets on the floor that she was filling with papers. She was so preoccupied She hadn't heard me come in. “Mrs. Bedford?" I asked. She looked up at me in startled surprise. "Yes.” "I’m Donald Lam,” I told her, smiling. "Well?" Mie asked. She was a raven-haired brunette with high coloring and curves. She looked well in black and she was as cautious as a boxer coming out for the first round. "I’m interested in finding out something about your husband’s property in California,” I told her. "There isn’t any." "Oh, I understood there was.” “There isn’t any. My husband sold out his California holdings before his death. What is your interest in the matter, Mr. Lam?” "I’m trying to check certain titles in California. Isn’t there a section of land somewhere near the town of Yucca?” She permitted herself a frosty smile. *1 would hardly refer to that as property. It is a desolate stretch of desert land. It isn’t good for anything. You can’t raise a thing on it except dust” I moved over closer to her and turned on the personality. "Do you think this section of land would be a good buy?” Her eyes surveyed me and she warmed up a little. "A good buy for whom?" "For me.” She smiled. "No.” "But your husband owned it” "Whatif he did?” "He was a shrewd investor.” "What does that prove?" "He wouldn't have purchased it unless he felt it was worthwhile.” , . "How do you know he purchased it?” “He owned it." "Exactly.” "I’m afraid I don’t understand,” I said. She warmed up al] at once. "Sit down,” she invited. “I'll tell you about that piece of prop l erty. My husband acquired it in a trade. It was the ‘something to boot’ that a good horse trader always asks for. My husband had what amounted to a superstition about trades, lie always wanted

in the 1958 conservation program. Where such action ban be justified, county ASC committees will be authorized to increase certain annual payment rates for land to be planted to forest trees and for whole farms retired from production. According to the chairman, it has been found that “the diversion of whole farm units usually results in a larger average reduction in crop production than is accomplished where only part of the cropland on a farm is put in the soil bank. Land going into forest trees is land going out of production over a long period. Moreover, there is urgent need to check the disappearance of our forest resource, which is running ahead of current tree planting and growth." Beginning in 1958, contracts ofmered for land devoted to trees or shurb plantings for shelterbelt, windbreak, or wildlife habitat purposes, will be for five or 10 years, at the option of the producer. Previously, all trees and shurb plantings were under only. The 10-year requirement remains in effect for tree plantings for forestry purposes. The aonservatlon reserve program is open for participation by all farmers.

something to boot "This time the man he was trading with said he’d throw in a whole section of land in California. My husband was always conscious of the great potential value of any tract of land, Ao he concluded the deal. ( "Six months ago when we were in California, we drove out to look at the place. It took me a couple of days to get over the depressed feeling that followed seeing that run-down, dilapidated compilation of utter nothing. "Years ago some poor man had spent an enormous amount of time and money living there trying to dig a well. The cabin is a moldy, rat-infested, leaky monument of futility. The well starts with dry decomposed granite and ends in decomposed dry granite. "We sold off all our California holdings except that section of land. There were some California relatives who had been licking their chops at the thought of inheriting some of my husband's property. I told him to keep that section of land for them to fight over." She laughed and her laugh was cold and harsh. "Could you,” 1 asked,* "tell me anything about those relatives in California?" "I know quite a bit about them, but I have never met either of them. One is very nice but greedy. The other is very brash, grasping and greedy." “One of them is a Mrs. Drury Wells?" "I believe so. She’s by far the nicer of the two,” “And there’s a Ducille Patton in Sacramento?” I asked. “You know her?" "I know hen like a book," she .said savagely and then added, “However, as I said, I've never met her." “You’ve corresponded ?” I asked. She made a gesture with her head and said, "Not with me. The correspondence was with my husband.” "How about minerals?" I asked. “Isn’t it possible your husband thought the property might be valuable for oil?" She smiled and pointed to a couple of chunks of black rock up on the bookshelf above the desk. "See that rock?” she asked. I nodded. “That came from this section of land,” she said. “That Yvonne Wells thought it was oil rock just because it was black. She sent it to my husband, told him it came from his property in the desert. She thought there might be oil there. Oil in that formation! It's a joke. So 1 told my husband to tell her that he was leaving her that piece of propertv in his will and if there wsu»

Live Drama On TV Has Hit The Skids Many Os Directors Now On Broadway NEW YORK (UP)—Live TV drama has hit the skids and some of TVs top directors are hitting the road—to Broadway. The Kaiser Hour has been dispatched to the graveyard and so has the Robert Montgomery Show. Lux Video is gone, along with the Alcoa - Goodyear hour. Studio One is reported to be in trouble. As a result, directors who made their reputations in TV are going legit. The Broadway schedule this season lists such TV directors as Bob Mulligan for “The Indian Fighters,’’ Alex Segal for “Compulsion,*’ Arthur Penn for “Two for, the See-saw,” Vincent Donahue for “Sunrise at Campobello” and Sidney Lumet for “The Minotaur.” George Roy Hill, who goes into rehearsal Oct. 14 for Broadway’s “Look Homeward Angel,” is another TV director who has made the shift. It was Hill who turned out “A Night to Remember” on Kraft and who later became a member of the Kaiser drama unit on NBC-TV. Can't Blame Sponsors “There’s no doubt that live TV drama is in a pretty bad way right now,” said Hill. “Why? Well, I guess it’s because sponsors feel they have more control over filmed shows than live ones. They’re more interested in selling soap than in turning out good drama. Apd of course you can't blame them. That’s why they’re in television.” Hill, 34. a former Marine pilot, hasn’t deserted TV. He’ll direct a couple of “Playhouse 90” dramas after his Broadway assignment. But he feels that the legitimate theatre does offer a welcome change of pace after TV. "Broadway is the only medium that gives you artistic freedom,” he said. “By the very nature of their set-ups, TV and the movies have to worry about pressure groups. You put a show on TV and 20 million people will see it and the sponsor has to worry about the reaction of all of them. “But the Broadway audience is smaller and you don't have to worry about pressure from your audience. Or censorship. You can deal with adult themes like sex. You can do plays of social significance —something you Can’t do on TV.” Feels TV Improving Hill,, contrary to many other ob-

oil there it would make her rich.” Again, Mrs. Bedford laughed. The laugh was fnlrthlcas, gloating, discordant. “You see, Mr. Lam, my husband’s lawyer said it was advisable to mention the two nieces in California in the will. He suggested Aaron leave each of them ene hundred dollars. I told him to leave them all the California property, then to sell off everything except that section of land. My husband said he had promised them something substantia], so I told him to leave Yvonne some money if he wanted, but I would have scratched his eyes out if he’d left anything to that creature in Sacramento. "I don’t want to sound bitter, Mr. Lam, but that Patton woman Was absolutely, utterly impossible! I don't know why I should be telling you all this, only I’ve been bottled up under great emotional tension and ... well, you’re easy to talk to. You have listening eyes.” She smiled at me. "Thank you,” I said. "You seem to have a sympathetic personality. I wouldn't want to see you spend any money on that property and get stung.” “Thanks a lot," I said. was a moment of silence. "How did the California relatives take the news of Mr, Bedford’s marriage?” I asked. That gave her a chance to gloat. She was lonely and wanted someone to talk to and talking about the California relatives was a pleasant diversion for her. "Those two women resented me. How they resented me! They almost had their greedy little fingers enmeshed in Aaron’s fortune. Then I came along, Aaron loved me and we were married. You could fairly feel the terrific surge of bitter disappointment. Do you think they tried to understand me? Heavens no! Z was the gold digger. I was the adventuress, ths ex-hat-check girl who had become a .hostess. I was the schemer! “Can you imagine that, Mr. Lam ? Those brazen gold-dig-ging little tramps with their gooey - letters of cuddling affection, their avaricious eyes on Aaron’s fortune, thinking I was a gold digger? I could laugh in their faces, only I wouldn’t do it They’re beneath me. They thought I might not see through their scheming letters. Bosh! I knew them like a book. It takes one woman to know another. I fixed that precious pair!” Mrs. Bedford's husband got mixed up in a “deal”—and what else? Donald's getting close to the answer to the big question in this ease.

I think on the average the drama on TV now — particularly "Playhouse 90”—is better than the TV drama of three or four years ago.
