Reed M- Stewart, Brazil high school youth won the American Legion state oratorical contest here last Friday and it was the second time in two years that he has won the high honor. The many who heard him were convinced that the judges did a good job in awarding the honor to him for the second straight year. —-o o Mike Todd, movie and television producer, died in a plane crash last week in New Mexico. Three passengers also perished in the crash. Todd was a great producer and writer and he will p be missed by fans of motion picture and television industries. His widow and two children survive. O ' o We have received some newspaper clippings from New Jersey newspapers relating to the recent heavy snowstorm. It tells of the thousands of Jerseyites being cut off from utilities and food and heat for several days. John H. Stewart of Pt. Pleasant, N. J. mailed us the interesting stories of suffering. Mr. Stewart is a former Daily Democrat employe. -o—o— ..■ j. . Here is a piece of sound reasoning sent us by • a prominent Decatur businessman. “President Eisenhower ihas proposed a $74,000,000 federal budget. Largest in our peace-time history. Do you have any idea how big that amount of money is worth? If we laid that many dollar bills on end, they would circle the equator over 275 times. It is twice the amount of U. S. currency now in circulation and the budget rovers just a Vear of spending. Whether we approve it Or not is beside the point, because it is going to take place. Can yon imagine a very serious business recission taking place with those vast outpourings of money. Hardly." The letter was sent to us by Harry Schwartz in a letter to him urging him to have faith. We think it is worth publishing when we get the blues.

It should go a long way to bolster a sagging economy.

CHAPTER 18 ’T’Hfi POKER clanged against 1 the tongs and Nora opened hep eyes. The room was sunflooded. Outside the window there were crimson maple leaves, golden oak. It was a beautiful day. Her lids closed. A log dropped on the fire and she opened them again with an effort. She felt drugged and yet she had not taken a sleeping pill. She was sure of that. Then what—she remembered then the sharp prick as the needle had gone into her arm and Garry rubbing the muscle —” briskly before going to sterilize the hypodermic. Someone moved and she sat up in bed. Tom Jones, who had thrust a piece of pitch pine under the log, got to his feet and strolled over to the bed. Conscious of the sheer nightgown. Nora slipped down and pulled the sheet over her bare shoulders. "What on earth are you doing here?” she asked "Making up the fire,” he said. "The police are talking to your nurse.” She remembered then the highpitched scream, the crash as Olive Riddle had fallen to her death. Wearing the blue velvet robe that was Nora’s. Everyone would have assumed that the woman in blue was Nora. Everyone but Garry, who knew Mrs. Riddle had made another of her raids on Nora’s wardrobe to save buying her own clothes. I’m a monster, Nora thought. I should be grieving for Aunt Olive and I can’t grieve for her. I’m afraid. “I’m sorry you were bothered,” » she said to the tall man who scowled down at her. "The fire seems to be doing nicely.” The words of polite dismissal had no effect. He did not go away. "The idea,” he said, “seems to be that someone should stay with you.” "Whose idea “Your physician s, for one. Finley Black sent for him last night and he flew down here from Boston. Arrived about four-thirty in the morning.” "Dr. Ruysdahl came here? But why ? There’s nothing wrong with me.” Nora’s face was as white as the pillow. “Or is there? O God,-is there? Tell me the truth, Tom." “I don’t know the truth," he said soberly, "except that you’re not crazy, if that's what is Worrying you.” "Then why send for the doctor? >*. There’s nothing the matter with me physically.” / “What theory your lawyer has I can’t figure out. My own theory'

was that you were the damest liar I’d ever encountered, but now I’m not so sure.” Tom looked down at her. Abruptly he put out a hand, touched her cheek with unexpected gentleness. Tm going down to get you some coffee. Lock the door after me.” He went out without a word and she got out of bed and walked slowly to the door. She turned the key. Only then did he go down the hall toward the stairs. She dressed in dark slacks and white shirt and a blue cardigan. Then she ripped it off. If only she had some other color. Since Stuart had told her he preferred it, she had never worn anything else. The day she was allowed to ' go to New York or Boston, she determined, she’d go on a buying , spree, get all the colors In the , rainbow. Except blue. There was a tap on the door and her heart thudded. She was afraid to open it. Afraid to know who was waiting in the hall. And she'd be afraid always, she thought with a stirring of horror, until she knew who it was. If she weren’t killed first. “Open up,” Tom called. "Breaki fast.” - “ ■ . She unlocked the door then, let him in and cleared a table for ■ his tray.’“Heavens," she said, "I i can’t eat all this.” “You will if I have to push it in. I brought up an extra cup for myself.” He sat across from her. "You look more awake now.” When she had eaten about half of the breakfast she pushed back her chair. “No, you don’t,” he said calmly. “Finish IL I meant what I said.” It occurred to her that he did. so after an annoyed glance she finished her breakfast To her surprise she felt much better. The drugged lethargic feeling was gone. She had a sense of well being. "Now,” she said, "tell me what's been happening since Garry put me to bed.” The Connecticut State Police had come and had done the usual things, pictures, prints, all that They had their own medical man along. It was a broken neck, all right They had taken the body away. “Your lawyer made a good job of it,” Tom said. "He had a idee straightforward story. The trailing skirt, the high heels, everything added up to an accident” He stopped to light a cigarette. "But then your friend Potter put in his oar, cornered Captain Foote and bad a private conversation with him. After that, the police 'got a different view of proceed-.

We have to — stop it" He watched her curiously. “Well," he said, “at least you are all set for a nice passive role.” “What do you mean by that?" “You’d be a mighty nice girl, Nora, if you weren’t so suspicious.” “In my position would you be trusting?” "Perhaps not, though I’m not clear as to just what your position is. Anyhow, as I was about to explain, your physician came before dawn, looked you over, and gave instructions to your nurse. She gave you a hypodermic and told the police you could not be questioned.” He added smoothly, “But that must be an old story to you." Nora lifted a teaspoon up and down with the tip of her finger. “Go on,” she said. “So we come to the question of alibis.

Believe Price Cuts A Key To Recession End Some Government Economists Feel Lower Prices Key Editor’s note: Some top <over n m e n t economists whose views weigh heavily with the administration believe pri e e cuts may be one key to ending the recession- This view is shared by Vice President Nixon. The opinions, gathered in a number of conversations, are summarised by United Press reporter Merriman Smith in the following dispatch. By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON <UP) -Some key government economists believe lower prices would give the economy a stronger shot-in-the-arm than a tax cut. Vice President Richard M. Nixon also feels a “buyers' market,’’ brought about by price cuts, is s necessary to reopen the road to 1 recovery. r This new approach by persons r in or close to the administration - does not rule out a tax cut. Some * top administration financial and - political advisers regard a tax cut * as inevitable this year. Their only question is when and what kind. But one official who plays a - prominent role in shaping govern- ’ ment economic policy called - prices “the key to the recession.” No Pat Answers “They’ve got to come down—- - tax cut or no tax cut,’’ he told s the United Press. ; These economists have no pat * answer to the question of how to > bring prices down. The govern- > ment's cost-of-living index hit another record high last month. Some prominent business figures, who agree prices should I come down, likewise seem to , have little answer other, than to ’ suggest some sort of “understanding" between labor and manage-■ ’ ment to avoid another inflation-I ’ ary spiral 5 Nixon believes all levels of bus-! ! iness must engage in a big sell-i - ing program, lowering prices and : t competing for the consumer's dol-1 ’ lar. He thinks labor should help - management in this program by; taking jt easy on wage demands Limit On Cuts The vice president admits there , is a lirAit to how low sellers can ■ cut prices. He does not take the j position there should *be no wage | increases this year, but contends I these should be related to increasedl productivity lest the result be more inflation. Government economists backing a price-cutting campaign argue that cohsumers have money to spend and just won t do it because of recession-born timidity. They point to income figures showing total U.S. income last month was actually higher than at the same time a year ago. 7 William A. McDonnell, St. Louis banker and incoming president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, has stated his firm belief that the current recession will not be cured by the government but “in the market place” and that lower prices are vitally necessary to lure buyers into the market place GE Object Lesson One government official traced an object lesson in the recent action by General Electric in taking its appliances out of the fixed price or “fair trade’’ classification. The result was a sudden upsurge in retail sales of GE appliances as stores in fair trade state/ cut prices to appeal to consumers. Another economist, pointing to the sagging market for new cars, expressed belief that auto manufacturers faced with a backlog of more than 900.000 unsold cars may reduce prices in'the near future. None of the federal officials with whom the United Press talked suggested a return to govi ernment wage • price controls ■ They generally voiced hope busi--1 ness and labor will see the logic ' of improved trade via the route of ! price cuts. PROBE (Continued rronn page one) i want to stir up trouble.” He 'said the union and the company have l “peace and harmony” now and it would be “very bad labor relations” to revive the dispute. McClellan gave tjie same reason Monday in explaining why he opposed such an investigation. But he said he did not vote either for or against it today because—referring to the GOP members—“it's their baby.” He said the committee probably would wind up the current investigation with testimony of the Kohler company president Wednesday and UAW President Walter P. Reuther Thursday. He said he hoped the Perfect Circle inquiry, which would start Friday, could be limited to two or three days, as contrasted to the Kohler hearings which are now in their fifth week. This schedule would take the committee into the congressional Easter recess which begin- n xt week. McClellan had . wanted to suspend h car' ng s during that week

Try To Establish County Boundaries Indiana Counties Dispute On Border SOUTH BEND (UP> — LaPorte and St. Joseph County commissioners were scheduled to consider a "border-line case" today. Wesley Worthington hoped their decision would settle where he live* The commissioners met to try to establish the boundary between their two counties. The dispute had been hanging with no one pressing for action since the 1930 s when the Kankakee River was dredged and straightened Before the improvements the crooked river was the “natural boundary.” But no one tried to figure out where it was after that —along the old or new river bed. LaPorte County brought the issue to a head recently by refusing to pay $11,942 as its share for resurfacing “County Line Road.” The county said it would not kick in until it was established that the road did run down the county line. At the same time, Worthington hopes he will find out where he should be paying his taxes. He bought his farm near Mill Creek in 1943. The 160 acres are just west of the river. Worthington said he paid his personal property tax in Lincoln Twp. in LaPorte County and his real estate tax in Greene Twp. in St. Joseph. Neither Worthington nor anyone else could figure out how this arrangement arose. But the farmer hopes when the commissioners study old maps and compare them with the present course of the river they will allow him to pay his taxes in one place Officials believed LaPorte prob-

Autos Collide At Alley Intersection Cars driven by Clarence Frederick Drake, 64, Decatur, and Betty Frauhiger, 35, Decatur, collided at the intersection of two alleys between Fifth and Seventh streets in the 600 block of Seventh street Monday. The Drake car was traveling south*and was struck by the Frauhiger vehicle, which was proceeding west through the intersecting alley. Damage was estimated at S2O to the Drake auto and SIOO to the Frauhiger car. A picket fence on the Orie Newhard property was damaged to the extent of $25.
