Charles Thieme, five miles northeast of Decatur. It was his first try in this show.

The reserve grand champion was entered in the lightweight clads, and had a pre-kill live weight of 198 pounds, with a body length of 30 inches. The average back-fat thickness was 30 inches, with a lion eye df 3.98 square inches. The dressing percentage was 74.46%, and the animal brought $22.51 a hundredweight. The expensive cuts, the skinned ham and regular loin, dressed out to 15.67% and 12.59% respectively. The higher the percentage of these expensive cuts, the higher price the carcass brings. The grand champion trophy went to Thomas Foster of Greenfield, in Hancock county, who won with a 214 pound crossbred Poland China barrow. From the 694 hogs in the on foot show last Tuesday, 104 carcasses were ~examined for ratings in the final tabulations. Paul Larson of near Frankfort. who won the on-foot grand title last Tuesday with a 214 pound purebred Hampshire, placed 22nd in medium weight carcass judging. But Carl Simon of the Kingan staff, in charge of show statistics, said there never has been such even grading of all the processcd animals for pork production. L. L. Stewart and Son of Frankfort, won the grand champion truck load honors, with their load of Hampslpres. Wilbert Thieme won sixth premium with his pen of three in the Hampshire competition.

T. T. Sinclair, Kingan yice-pres-t ident, praised the entries as the finest ever displayed in the bari row judging. "Value of the show t is demonstrated by the fact that ; competition get* tougher each > year," he said. ; The event, ' which pioneered , this type of contest -in the United ■ States nine years ago, is staged ■ to stress values of lean-type hogs, I from farrri to consumer. Farm men and women from all I parts of Indiana attended the 1 show and had lunch at the King- • an plant. , £ —,r SCHWARTZ TELLS (Continued from pag<- ope) Schwartz added that subcom- ' mittee investigators have confirmed that the Moores have been guests at Baker’s Florida home. Baker Denies Charge In testimony last week Schwartz swore that FCC Commissioner Richard Mack had received $2,650 from Thurman A. Whiteside, whom he described as a National Airlines attorney, in return for his "pledge" to vote for the airlines' subsidiary in the TV channel case. Mack has described Schwartz’s charges as “without foundation " and demanded an early opportunity to tell his side. Whiteside : has —denounced Sclwurtz as a liar. Baker, in a blistering letter to Harris, said Schwarfz has given "false and defamatory" testim,ony; that his charge that Whites side paid money to Mack was "a' malicious lie." Whiteside will 'testify Tuesday; Mack on Wednesday.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Early County Election Records Are Uncovered

i This is another in a series of stories on the early elections in Adams county, taken from the election record book A, recently uncovered in a pile of old records in the court house. The election record and early histories of the county are the only sources until 1857, when the Decatur Eagle, forerunner of the Decatur Daily Democrat, began its weekly publication. » Election of 1837 Before the present state constitution of 1851 was adopted, governors served a three-year term, as did the lieutenant governor. The senators were elected by the state legislature, and many other offices were appointive. The state legisalture met every year, and most local offices were elected on an annual basis. In 1837 there were three candidates for governor, Gamalial Taylor, John Freemont, and David Wallace, but only the latter received any votes in Adams county. In bygone years the state elections always drew more “votes than the local elections, Wallace received 70 votes, the most cast in any contest. David Hillis proved more popular here than A. C. Pepper, as he received 68 votes to 0 for the other candidate. It was during 1837 that the last of the, major Indian tribes was removed from

Indiana to a western reservation, but Indian scares still played a large part in land speculations. James Raridan, candidate for congress, won out over Jonathon McCarty in a close race in this county, 31 to 29, while a third Contestant. John Spencer, received no vote?. Root township favored Raridan 27 to 9, but St. Mary’s favored McCarty 14 to 4, and the newly established Wabash township gave all 16 of its votes to McCarty. Raridan represented the state for many years in Congress. William Vance, a Whig, was reelected state representative, carrying all three townships. His two opponents received only 15 Votes total. Vance carried Root township, then the upper part of the county, with 29 votes; George A. Tat erecevied 9. and James W. Willis, 5. In St. Mary’s township Vance got 17 votes to one for Tate, and he also received all 13 of Wabash township’s votes. Jacob Bark carried Adams county over James pence for probate judge. 29 to 13. Pence carried St. Mary’s township 13 to 2, but lost Root township, 27 to 0. No votes were cast in that race in Wabash township. J()h(i W. Cooley’, unsuccessful candidate for probate judge—in 1836, defeated Henry Reed. James Pence, and Jeremiah Roe in a four-way race. Cooley received 14, votes, Reed. 7. all in Root township; Pence, one vote in St. Mary’s township, and Roe. -one vote in Root and one in St Mary's township for a total of 2 votes. Benjamin F. Blossom w a s elected school commissioner, unopposed. He received 23 votes. William Heath, who had been a member of the first board of commissioners elected in a special election the first Monday of April. 1836. and had then not run in the regular election, defeated Samuel Smith, also a member of the first board, 41 to 23. Heath received 20 votes to 14 for Smith in Runt township, 8 to 9 iri St. Mary’s, and 13 to 1 in Wabash township. Emil Nagel Dies At Berne Early Sunday Funeral Services < Wednesday Morning

U. S. r Britain Seek To Settle Tunisia Affair France, Tunisia Accept Offer To Mediate Dispute TUNIS <UP' — France and Tunisia today accepted a joint U.S.-British offer to help solve the Tunisian dispute. Tunisia immediately eased its blockade of 22.000 French troops. Ffrst indications were the joint acceptance would mean a postponement of the United Nations Security Council meeting on Tunisia and the Algerian rebellion, scheduled for Tuesday. The Anglo-American offer was presented in Paris this morning to French Foreign Minister Christian Pineau by U.S. Ambassador Amory Houghton and British Ambassador Sir Gladwyn Jebb. The Foreign Office announced its acceptance. The joint offer was presented in Tunis Sunday by U.S Ambassador Lewis Jones and British Ambassador Edw'ard Malcolm to Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba. Will Relay Proposals A Tunisian government spokesman announced that Tunisia had •‘accepted the good offices of the Unjted States and Great Britain for the settlement of the FrancoTunisna crisis.” A Tunisian government spokesman said Sunday the Bourguiba government would drop its Security Council complaint against France if the United States would make a formal offer of its "good offices. . Sources in both Tunisia and France stressed that the offer of “good offices’’ did not mean arbitration or mediation—that London and Washington would relay proposals of the two governments. But- the, acceptance by both countries meant a notable easing of the tension that could have exploded into further violence because of Tunisian resentment at the French bombing of Sakiet Sidi Youssef. Head Off U.N. Crisis The United States has been particularly anxious to prevent the North African question being used as a. sounding board in the United Nations for Communist propaganda that could weaken the Western position in North Africa. France was dead set against UN. discussion of Algeria which it considers a domestic problem.

Today’s acceptance apparently headed off a new UN. crisis. Official sources said negotiations already had started on how to use the Anglo-American offer. The negotiations presumably would be handled by the various ambassadors in Tunis and Paris. Within minutes the Tunisian government announced it had agreed in principle to let food and other supplies through to 22,000 French troops confined to their bases, the French embassy announced in Tunis.
