We can expect some cooler weather, especially at nights according to the forecasters, who are right part of the time. We haven't had too good an autumn, but usually weather in a year's time will even up and all in all we have some pretty nice days. o—o— You don't have too long now to have your heating equipment inspected to make ready for winter weather. That goes too for the radiator of your automobile. It s wise when you're having your car checked for winter to replace your present oil with a lighter winter grade. " ■ ’ li> "'~ ' ■■' o A— The tomato canning campaign has wound up for another season . according to cancers of this area The crop was not as good this season as in years past and this fact, which is pretty general might have a bearing on the price of tomatoes and juice this winter. o o In spite of television and numerous other attractions which consume our time, Decatur public library patronage continues to increase yb leaps and bounds. More books are borrowed in a month than formerly were taken out in a year. It’s a gre|t habit to acquire, this reading of new books and those who have the reading habit are richly rewarded in knowledge and hours of relaxing entertainment o Hundreds of people of this area will probably disagree, but they can’t help but admire the stand of Judge Parrish that his Court will continue on central standard time as long as that time is the law of the state. Right now, the Judge is about the only conformist of the statute in the county - and other officials keep their clocks on standard time and operate on daylight saving time to conform with the law. A vast majority of the people of this area don’t like the time law but why should it be ignored as long as it is the law? Lots of us don’t like gas tax increase and the doubling of the gross income tax, but haven’t heard of anyone a pound here ignoring it

Rain this week was a boon to most farmers and it didn't hurt the lawns a bit It's too late to bring out any flowers, but It is adding color to the leaves, and will make for some beautiful autumn days. Already several roads near Decatur have taken on a colorful loveliness hard to equal any other time of the year. You owe it to yourself to get out in your car and breathe in some of these beautiful autumn afternoons and early eveutags. o o—— < The Federal Trade Commission has brought charges against four nationally known manufacturers for giving false statements in their television commercials. Why it is just four no one knows and everyone who watches television knows that the big headache is the commercial part of the program which some times absorbs about a third of the allotted time. It’s about time that someone investigates some of the tan tales in the form of impossible things certain products will do. We shudder to think what would happen to a newspaper publisher if he permitted certain advertising matter in the form of guarantees and the like to appear in his newspaper. o——o Citizens at the Decatur area have responded well to the Community Fund annual drive and tnore than $12,000 of the SIB,OOO proposed budget already has been pledged, with assurance from M. J. Pryor, general chairman of the drive, that his committee will continue to work until the total amount is subscribed. Mr. Pryor has done a magnificent job in organizing his teams and the entire committee has worked tirelessly in this great humanitarian effort. Each year more organizations join the Community Fund and it is the hope of that organization that soon it will be able to say “Give one time each year for every worthy cause.’’ This would make less work, and also woulfi assure each worthy organization of sufficient funds for the entire year. We congratulate Mr. Pryor and his committee members for the job and hope that every good citizen will join in the drive and give his share.

Germany To Break Yugoslav Relations Follows Tito Pact With East Germany BONN, Germany (UP)—Foreign Minister Heinrich Von Brentano told a parliamentary committee today West Germany has decided to break off diplomatic relations with Yugoslavia. The action was taken because Marshal Tito recognized the Communist regime in East Germany. The 29-man committee, which included representatives of all parties in the Bundestag (lower house), met to discuss the government decision. Both the opposition Socialists and the free Democrats have expressed opposition to the plan to sever relations but they Were unlikely to change the government’s decision. Bonn has declared frequently it will have no official dealings with nations recognizing the East Zone Communist regime. The only exception to this basic plank of foreign policy is the Soviet Union. West Germany fears if they allow the Yugoslav move to pass without action it will open the door for other countries to recognize East Germany and thus hamper German reunification hopes. Yugoslavia was the first non-satellite country to recognize the eastern government. The decision was taken at an emergency cabinet meeting Thursday. The United States, Britain and France told the Bonn government they supported its view that a country should not have diplomatic relations with both East and West Germany. Brentano planned to call in Yugoslav Ambassador Dusan Kveder and announce the decision formally. Although Kveder was not supposed to know of the move officially he knew unofficially and posed for news photographers making ’’farewell’’ pictures. The German charge d'affaires in Belgrade planned to call at the foreign office today to ask for the passports of his staff. The post of German ambassador to Belgrade is Vacant following the death last week of Karl Georg Pfleiderer. The Bonn government was reported to have informed all the NATO nations of its decision. The diplomatic representatives 6f the western Big Three were called in because Bonn maintains the reunification of Germany is a responsibility of the four former occupation powers. The Yugoslav decision to recognize the Communist regime in East Germany came when Chancellor Konrad Adenauer was still farming a new cabinet for his third term. Timing of the move added to the West Germany resentment since it caught Adenauer slightly off base. Part of the secrecy surrounding the government’s plan was founded on diplomatic protocol which prescribes the courtesy of informing a nation's ambassador of decisions affecting relations with his country before making them public.

No Gambling Stamps, Four Men Are Fined INDIANAPOLIS (ffl r- Federal Judge Cale J- Holder late Thursday fined four Richmond tavern owners $1,500 each on charges of failing to register for federal gambling stamps. The fines and ssl in costs were levied for violating a federal law which requires purchase of a SSO federal tax stamp by all persons engaging in gambling. Fined were Carl W. and Eugene Mercurio. Wayne L. McCord and Robert E. Murray. Girard On Dufy At Time Os Shooting Colonel Testifies At Girard's Trial MAEBASHI (UP) — Lt. Col. Walter C. Sharp, Beach Haven, N.J., testified today that S3C William S. Girard definitely was on duty when he shot and killed Mrs. Naka Sakai at the Camp Weir firing range Jan. 30. Testifying as a defense witness. Sharp, Girard's battalion com- | mander, said that once a soldier lis placed “to guard anything, he has that responsibility until he is relieved." Girard, Ottawa, 111., is accused of killing Mrs. Sakai with a used shell casing fired into her back from the grenade launcher on his rifle. He claimed he fired to frighten the woman away from a machinegun he was guarding and hit her accidentally. The court scheduled the next session for Saturday at the range. Sharp said a soldier on guard duty "must use his own judgment” on how to carry out his duty. Japanese Outnumbered Gl’s “He has the power to do things to carry it out," Sharp said. “Whether this is good or bad is a different question.” He said that Japanese shell pickers, of which Mrs. Sakai was one, outnumbered U.S. soldiers on the range five or six to one the day she was killed. He said one group of the shell scavengers swarmed over a machinegun after it stopped firing and knocked over the gunner. A lieutenant jumped to unload the gun before anyone was injured, he said. Sharp testified that there were about 150 shell pickers on the firing range—compared to 30 or 40 soldiers—and thatt they were led by an "arrogant” Japanese man he later identified as Hidetsugu Onozeki, the prosecution’s key witness in its manslaughter case against Girard. Sharp -said he ordered the soldiers to chase the brass pickers away and that he personally shooed back “quite a few." He said Onozeki, , “the best dressed brass picker on the range” appeared to be trying to set an “example of arrogance” for the others. Hiroyuki Umezawa of the foreign affairs section of Gumma Prefecture testified that at times there were so many shell pickers on the Camp Weir range that it was “impossible for U.S. forces to carry out their exercises.” He said U.S. authorities had asked thd Japanese for help but “all the Gumma Prefecture police” would not have been enough to keep the metal scavengers off the range. Metal Picker Union He said the Japanese asked Army authorities to herd the metal pickers off the range and turn them over to Japanese police, but that this did not work because U.S. authorities did not take “positive action.” U.S. officials had explained they did not want to remove the scavengers forcibly themselves for fear it would have repercussions. Umezawa said the villagers had been warned time and again not to go on the range. They not only ignored this but formed a 355member metal-pickers union, he said. He said prior to Mrs. Sakai’s death, three other persons were killed on the range, three or four injured on the range and 12 or 13 wounded by duds they took home. The defense is attempting to prove that Mrs. Sakai had sufficient forewarning of danger and that Girard was acting in line of duty.

The satel-lite-missile issue was almost certain to come up for discussion. Picture Taken of Rocket —Scientits at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory £in South Pasadena, Calif., reported ■ they have successfully photographed Sputnik’s rocket.

—British astronomer Dr. A. C. B. Lovell said the end of the rocket is “imminent.” While Eisenhower did not go into details on his plans for scientific alliance, he apparently favored an international organization set up along NATO lines. ‘“Hie free world is engaged in a great struggle and the total of the free world’s assets are so much greater than those of the potential enemy.” he said. “. . .that it is ridiculous to compare them..
