of Tunis shouting ‘‘Get out!” Arabs as well as Frenchmen were conscious of the tension. “Some say this city is like a powder keg waiting for a match,” a Tunisian taxi driver remarked to a French passenger. “I say it is more like a whole gunpowder factory waiting to explode.” The Tunisians have cut off electric power anil food deliveries to some French garrisons and closed the big Bizerte naval base to French shipping. Demand Arms In Mateur, 25 miles from Bizerte, some 5,000 Tunisians staged a demonstration Thursday demanding arms to “drive the French into the sea." The first of today’s mass meetings, in Mohammed V Avenue, was devoted to “public prayers for the Sakiet victims" by the Grand Mufti of Tunis. The second, a political meeting in Leader Square, was devoted to demands for the evacuation of French troops from Tunisia. Switzerland County Agent Dies Thursday VEVAY (W — 0. H.

Mission Concludes Al Lutheran Church Crusade For, Christ Mission Concluded The week’s largest crowd brought the crusade for Christ mission. which had been held at Zion Lutheran church during the past five days, to a successful conclusion Thursday night. The Rev. Walter H. Moeller’s final sermon topic was “Beware of Indifference.” The guest missioner warned that death may strike an individual at any hour and there was an urgent need to accept salvation without delay. The Zion men’s chorus sang and the question and answer period was continued. — Following the service, many of the guests saw a showing of slides which Rev. Moeller had recently taken in the Holy Land and Near East. He gave an interesting commentary of the familiar names and places mentioned in the Bible and showed a number of items he had brought back with him. Herman Krueckeberg presided at the final report meeting for the lay visitor teams. Over 80 calls nad been made and over 200 people had been personally contacted and invited to the services. Seven persons will be baptized, 22 children have been gained for the Sunday school, and 14 people have promised to attend the pastor’s class of Christian instructions for adults, which will begin Feb. 24. Rev. Moeller congratulated the congregation on a successful mission effort arid urged that the evangelism program be made a continuing effort. The Rev. Edgar P. Schmidt thanked the lay visitors and the committee and said that the affair “had been a wonderful experience in the congregation's worship life.” Pobing Beakins At Geneva And Berne The sheriff's department is investigating a break-in at the Dor-sey-Bisel filling station in Geneva, which occurred sometime last -night, and an attempted entry into the Pearl Oil Co. building in Berne, sometime. Wednesday night or early Thursday morning. Thieves took S2O in loose change, 25 cartons of cigarettes, chewing tobacco, gum and candy from the Dorsey-Bisel service station in Geneva last night after 10 p. m. Entry was gained into the building by smashing a window. The attendant told the officers that he had locked up the station at 10 p. m. Sometime Wednesday night or early Thursday morning, a front door of the Pearl Oil Co. in Berne was kicked in, but the thief or thieves were apparently scared away before having the chance to enter. At first check nothing had been taken from the building when the-open door was discovered.

Moscow Blast Hard Blow To Summit Talks Vicious Popaganda Against U. S. Blow To Success Os Talks WASHINGTON UPH-Vicious anti-American propaganda coming from Moscow on the Tunisian crisis has struck a hard blow at U.S. hopes for a “profitable” East-West summit conference, officials said today. Soviet charges that the United States "master - minded” the French air attack on a Tunisian village, these officials said, have strengthened the position of policy makers who doubt the Russians sincerely want to ease EastWest tensions. President Eisenhower will have a chance soon to make this point when he replies to Soviet- Premier, Nikolai Bulganin's latest letter on I a possible meeting of East-West: government heads. The Presi- ■ dent s letter is slated to be sent to North Atlantic Traty Organi-! zation countries for review “very ■ soon.” Seldom has the State Department given vent publicly to such anger as it did Thursday over i charges printed in the Sovietl Communist newspaper Pravda. Pravda claimed the United ’States was behind the attack on the village of Sakiet-Sidi-Youseff. The State Department labelled the charges “lies ' and “outrageous allegations.” A spokesman said the accusations “do not square” with the words of peace and- friendship being spread around Washington by the new Soviet ambassador. Mikhail A. Menshikov. Menshikov said he hadn t heard of either the Pravda charges or the .State Department statement Intercepted by during a series, of State Departmnt calls, he said only. "I don't think it is correct” to accuse the Soviet Union of hypocrisy in its foreign policy. The Russian ambassador continued his whirlwind calls on American officials, exuding warmth and friendship and expressing a desire to "visit all the states.” Tells Experiences During Scout Trips , Jerry Mclntosh spoke to the American Legion Boy Scout troop 63 Thursday night on his experiences during several scout trips through most of the 8 48 states, including the jamboree at Valley Forge, the Wright-Patterson air base trip, and the trip to some caves in southern Indiana There were 24 scCFuts at the meeting. Scouts will leave the community center at 6:30 o'clock this evening for an all-night campout at the scout cabin in Hanha-Nutt-man park. At 7:30 p. m. Jack -Hurst. district conservation of fn cer. will give a talk to the scouts bn gun safety and target shooting at the Boy Scout cabin. Feb. 27. Ferris Bower will demonstrate* watch and clock repair to the scouts". * March 6 Richard Linn, former scoutmaster of the troop, will show films of -some of the trips taken by the troop from 1948 to 1951.

Incumbents Likely To Be Renominated Only One Opponent To Date In Indiana INDIANAPOLIS (UP>—Most of I Indiana's nine Republican cong-1 ressmen were given *a good chance today to appear on the party ticket for reelection in November —unless one or two of them decide to shoot for the Senate in- " Republicans represent Hoosiers in every congressional district but the Ist and Bth. The GOP incumbents appeared to have the inside track for renomination in nearly every case, if only because of tradition. No incumbent —Democrat or Republican—has lost in an Indiana congressional primary for The only incumbent to be challenged formally so far for nomination in the May 6 primary is 6th District Rep. Cecil Harden of povington. a veteran of five terms in Congress. Staje Rep. Robert Webb of Arca>dia, GOP floor leader in the 1957 ' Indiana House, announced he was j a candidate for Mrs. Harden's seat. State Chairman Robert Matthews said it “could be a very I close contest." I Close or not, that contest shaped ! lup as a fight between Governor | Handley s forces 'Webb' and the I anti-Handley faction. Trouble In Third? Matthews said his party "might; ibe in slight’ trouble" in the 3rd ' I District next November, but he said the GOP "probably" will X keep all nine, of its House seats Three GOP incumbents have been mentioned prominently asI challengers of Handley for the ■party's nomination for U. S. seni ator—Reps. Charles Halleck in ; the 2nd District. E. Ross Adairj in the 4th and William Bray in the 7th.

CHAPTER 30 AFTER Cord stalked out of the courtroom, the judge got the people calmed down and Luther’s lawyer called him to the stand. The room seemed cooler and there were unfriendly faces wherever I looked. “Your, name, please?” The defense attorney was asking the questions., "Luther Lovelock O'Dare." "Mr. O’Dare, will you tell the court in your own, wbrds your exact movements during the evening and night in’question?" There wasn’t much to Luther’s story when it was spoken out loud. And he didn't do a good job of telling it either. He was very nervous and once had to stop until tie could control the shakes. In all, it seemed like he was guilty as hell and trying badly to lie his way out of it. He ended up by swearing that he hadn’t been near Wade Everett’s plage and had no idea how his rope got there. The counsel for defense -turned the whole thing over to the prosecutor, wh’o stepped-toward the witness chair. He was smiling like a horse thief. "Come, Mr. O'Dare, you’re an intelligent man. How can you sit there and deny the evidence?” He counted it on his fingers. Luther just sat there, head down, while the lawyer made a criminal of him. 1 wanted to shout to him, tell hifn to ge-t his damned head up; but the habit was too - strorig in Luther, and Cord had pushed him down too many times in his life for me to expect him to rise up manlike now-—— The prosecutor stepped back, waving his hands disgustedly. “Your honor, the defense has not produced one shred of evidence to support this man’s claims. We have proven both motive and opportunity, along with z establishing the rope as being the defendant’s personal property. On this we rest our case.” Luther went back to his chair. The judge banged with his gavel. “The jury will retire to consider their verdict.” Each man in that roped-off section looked at each other, then Eli Sugerman, the shoemaker, got up and said, “Your honor, we don’t want to waste anyone’s time. We already made up our — nnijds.” "I see. And what is your verdict?” "Guilty as sin,” Sugerman said, then sat down. There wasn’t a sound in that ' room until the judge spoke. “Court will be in recess until five o’clock, at which time I shall pass sentence." The suddenness of the verdict stunned me more than the verdict itself; I could not conceive

of men so casual as to toss over , a man’s life without lengthy de- ’ liberation. Ledbetter took charge j of Luther, taking him back to the hotel while I went down the street and entered Pete Lanahan’s place. I edged up to the bar and ordered a beer. Then 1 noticed Heck Overland standing on my left He looked at me and said. "Didn’t take 'em long to take your bro the r’s size, did it, Smoke?” "He didn’t do it," I said. "Takes a fool or a-smart man to buck evidence," he said. Suddenly a full-bloom suspicion of this man loomed in my mind and I knew I was standing next to a liar. Don't ask me how. 1 suppose it’s that a liar always has something glib to say, something just right; he can afford it since most everything he says is stretching the truth anyway. 1 was suddenly very determined to prove that Heck Overland was a liar. "Did you Know Wade Everett?” 1 asked. "Nope,”. Overland said blandly. “Perfect stranger to me.” He • looked at me. "1 don’t get over this way much. Got things of my own to do. Wouldn’t be here now if it wasn’t my civic duty." A wind of caution blew softly ’ and something began to tickle the back of my mind. Then 1 re- , membered and had a hard time I keeping my face straight. • “You say you never knew EverI ett ? Funny, because when I mem > tioned him at your place not so I long ago you said right off that 5 he was a farmer.” i Overland frowned. There was a span of difference in size be- , tween us, but this was some- . thing 1 really wanted to buy into. : So I said,* "1 was just wondering how much you say is the J truth and how much is a lie.” Silence fell suddenly in Pete ; La nah a n’s saloon. Overland s looked a? me steadily. “You’re a i tittle sawed-off to climb a big tree, sonny,” '■ “I’ll make it plainer," I said. . "You’re a liar twice, once when r you said you never knew Wade Everett and the other when you f told me that Luther'd shipped i stock from your pens.” , He would have to hit me for ? saying that; I knew it and was 3 ready when he swung. My size r made ducking easy; he was too big to be graceful. My beer stein - made a lovely weapon and I shattered it across the crown of , his head. Heck stumbled against the bar t and went dawn to one knee. I . reached for his beer mug, know--1 ing that 1 was going to need it, 1 but I got careless and only succeeded in knocking it off the bar? t i stepped back because Heck was - getting to his feet. b From down the bar someone

with an old grudge to settle and not enough nerve to do it alone, slid a full whiskey bottle toward me. I grabbed it as Overland charged. There was no ducking this time. His arms encircled my waist and he began to apply a strangling pressure. 1 had pnly one chance and took it, smashing the full bottle dead center on his forehead. The strength went out of mm like water draining from — a sink and he went to all fours, Shaking his head from side to side. Broken glass sparkled in his hair and blood ran down his face. When he didn’t go flat, a new and sudden panic seized me. Run; every instinct spouted this, but a man has his pride and 1 waited for him to get up. Then I kicked him in the face, arching him backwards, and he fell flat. X never expected Hefik Overland to get to his feet again, but he did. He staggered about, nearly blind with pain, but still groping for me, cussing me in his deep voice. Hitting him in the jaw was out of the question. Ifound that out after 1 brought ’one up from the ftoor and nearly smashed my hand. Overland rocked back on ms heels, spat out a tooth, but didn't go down. He grunted and swuhg and this time he was a lot luckier, or I was getting careless. The blow caught me on the side of the head, lifted- me clean off my feet and sent me whipping across the sawdust with a vast, cavemlike roaring in, my head. Getting to rtiy feet was a real chore, but it had to be done. Overland was coming my way. His arms were searching about, trying to find me, and I stepped—under them, driving my fist hard against his heart. > His mouth opened in a shrill cry, then he started to gag for wind. 1 hit him again, in the > same spot, and once more he I started to fall. Overland fell as only a two-hundred-and-twenty-pound man can fall, like a tall timber, shaking every window in the place. t . r Pete Lanahan braced his arms ■ on the bar, hoisted himself and i loo'ked over at Heck Overland I stretched out on the sawdust. Then he looked at me and shook his head as though he couldn't believe IL ; I could have had a gay time on . i the free drinks everyone wanted to buy, but my main concern : now was to get out and find ' Cord as quick as I could. ... “After careful and due deliberation of the evidence presented ... 1 am prepared to render a sentence. Luther O*h Dare arise and face the court," h - the judge began. ! And then ... Continue the story Monday in this newspaper.
