Winter hangs on and we've had another snow fail. Predictions are now that weather will clear immediately, but bear in mind that is merely a guess and the weather guessers have been wrong a lot the last six weeks. ——o o—— Thursday is the deadline for candidates who plan to -be -candidates in the Democratic primary election next May. There are contests for county assessor, and both commissioners posts. There are rumors that several are still considering being candidates, but time soon will run out. We’ll know just how things stack up in a few days. ! —-iO O—— Robert L. Long, Geneva, route. two is the third candidate to announce on the Democratic ticket for commissioner of the third district. At least there will be a few contests which will make the primary interesting. There are contests for county commissioner and the two districts for commissioner. There may be a couple of more candidates for other posts. O OI— The automobile Industry has two problems to work out before its business gets better. The first of course is settlement of a contract and second is the influx of foreign made and cheaper automobiles on the U. S. market. The latter is getting important with the large number of smaller and cheaper cars arriving daily in America. o—o The UAW and General Motors x are negotiating a new contract and indications are that Walter Reuther will give up plans for a shorter work week and a profit sharing plan. First indications are that he will settle for a small wage increase and let it go at that. This change in his plans is the result of the recession. Whether labor will insist on a drop in prices shouldn't be necessary for industry surely realizes that the people won’t buy their product at the'present high prices.

According to the tax foundation, for every billion dollars cut from the federal budget, every average family could keep $19.00 which otherwise would go to Washington. -—o o Guess we’re getting our winter now. Forecast however, is ' for clearing today. One thing about the snow is that two thirds of it melts as it falls, and not too much is accumulating. If it were all rain we could well have a high water situation, so maybe the weather man knows what he’s doing. o o The U.A.W., largest union of them all and many of the smaller ones have kept clean through the years. The press associations and labor haters jump on every chance they get to smear them. It isn’t right because we have lots of sincere men in the labor movement and if it wasn’t for the unions, our wages wouldn’t be near as high and working conditions wouldn’t be as good. It is the few crooks, same as in any business who make the headlines and cause trouble for everyone. Don’t be misled on these stories by all three of the press associations until you study them thoroughly. ■ o o Employment and earnings of people working show an increase in Decatur over January, according to figures compiled by Fred Kolter, secretary of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce- in his monthly report for February. This is the kind of news we like to hear and it bears out our contention that Decatur is the best little city in the nation. We never have felt the depression like many cities our size and we may be starting back on the recovery road. Nothing would be better and we honestly believe that we're on our way upward again. This of course doesn't mean the depression is over and it’s real bad in many parts of the nation. We firmly believe it will continue to show improvement in many parts of the nation immediately and soon will spread through the whole land.

A lawyer in this town wrote me on March 12 in answer to my letter about a dog that had been destroying my flowers and property. It is a brown Cocker Spaniel pup. It ask the owner several times to keep it home. Then on March 7 I asked her boys to tell their mother to tie it up. She came down, began to argue in may back yard. I told her all I did want was for her to keep those boys and the dog home. She said she did not have to as she had talked to the police and mayor and they said she did not have to tie up her dog but could let it run all she pleased. Now I don’t know if this is true but that is what she told me. She also talked with all the neighbors and that they did not care if she let her dog run. I do have a lot of flowers in summer. It did destroy a lot of them, also it did chew up and destroy things and gets on my garage next to my kitchen. It drags on things and chew them up. I asked some neighbors. They said she had not been there but they did complain terme last summer about this dog, but said they did want to get into a neighborhood quarrel. I talked with one policeman. He said she did not talk with him. Os course she will deny this, but after I ordered her off my property she pushed open my garage door, struck me hard in the face, although I glasses. She also called me a bad name. I did not strike her or call her. a name. I told her I could sue her for what she said. She said go ahead and sue. I asked this lawyer about that dog. This is what he answered me “In reply to your letter of March 7, wish to advise that section 16-329 Burns 1950 replacement statues, provides in part as follows: ‘lt shall be unlawful for any owner to allow any dog to i stray beyond his premises, unless i under the reasonable control of | some person, or when engaged in lawful hunting accompanied by; the owner or custodian. Whoever j shall violate any of the provisions j of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not exceeding $25. Under the section of the law quoted and affidavit could be filed against the owner of such a dog.” I am a widow of just six weeks; and do not bother or cause any s one else trouble. I mind my own ■ business. Bu t I do own property 1 and am a taxpayer. All I do have' are a few flowers. I certainly, would not accuse any one of striking me, calling me a name, if it were not true.

Testimony On Kohler Strike Is Conflicting Rackets Committee Continues Hearing On Kohler Strike WASHINGTON (UP) — The Senate Rackets Committee met one of its most unshakable witnesses Tuesday— John Deis, a study and stubborn Wisconsin workman. Deis came to Washington to tell the senators that two men now high in the management of the Kohler Co. shot him in the back during the plumbingware firms 1934 strike. He related his story, but in his own fashion, and the committee became almost hopelessly entangled in misunderstood questions and answers. Sen. Karl E. Mundt (R-S.D) finally suggested that everyone just forget about the whole episode. The committee tqqk no testimony Tuesday afternoon about the current four-year-old Kohler strike, but is expected to get back to that subject today with tesimony from a Naional Labor Relations Board official and Herbert V. Kohler, president of the Wisconsin firm. Testimony In Conflict Deis was short on grammar during his afternoon-long appearance, but long on conviction. He flatly stated that Lyman C. Conger, now chairman of the Kohler management committee, and Edmund , Biever, manager of the Sheboygan County, Wis., factory, fired shotgun blasts into his neck and legs during a riot in July of 1934. His sworn testimony was in direct conflict with Conger’s statements that he fired no weapons and Biever’s testimony that he shot only’ tear gas during the 1934 riot. It also varied with a statement Deis made in 1935 that he could ■ not identify his assailants and an ; affidavit made March 12 this year t stating that he did not know exactly who among four men, including Conger and Biever, fired ’ the blasts. But Tuesday he was sure. He said Conger and Biever were the 1 only two holding guns in firing 1 position As for the other two men, he said: “When you gotta shotgun under arm, you can’t shot nobody.” He explained that his 1935 statement was made at his wife’s insistence that he “keep still” to avoid losing his job. “The Kohler Company.” he volunteered, “run , the whole Sheboygan County.” Deis said this month's affidavit was in errror, but “mistakes, make everybody.’’ Can't Shake Statement

Dels told Committee Chairman John L. McClellan (D-Ark.), an expert at getting directly to the nub of a matter, that the shotgun blasts hit him In the leg and “right in the head behind.” McClellan delicately asked if he meant the hip, but Deis straightened the matter out by slapping the back of his own neck. Sen. Carl T. Curtis (R-Neb.), like McClellan a lawyer familiar with the probing question, took over. He learned that Deis didn’t know the lawyer who made the affidavit earlier this month and couldn’t read the document to the committee. But no amount of questioning could shake Deis from his testimony that the shots were fired by Conger and Biever, nor that he could have been mistaken because of darkness, tear gas or the confusion caused by mob action. Elizabeth Taylor Back In Seclusion Returns Home From Husband's Funeral % HOLLYWOOD (UP) — Actress Elizabeth Taylor rested in seclusion today, away from the spotlight where she said her public goodby to Mike Todd. The dark-haired film star returned home Tuesday night from Todd’s Chicago funeral, ending a 24-hour ordeal of travel across the nation and back and the strain of the graveside rites. A family squabble and 5,000 curious onlookers spoiled plans of Todd’s family for a simple, dignified ceremony, devoid of the car-nival-air Todd loved in life. Miss Taylor ignored the disturbances in her grief. She staggered three times entering the tent which covered Todd’s grave at the foor of his rabbi father 1 s resting place, and sob bed throughout the 35-minute ceremony with courage. “No ... No. . .’’ she cried when she saw the coffin, and was led away to sit down. Those who witnessed the rites, conducted by Rabbi Abraham Joseph, denied that the 26-year-old widow threw herself on Todd’s coffin and screamed Rather, they said, she touched the bronze casket at the end of the ceremony and said “I love you. Mike.” Six hours later she was aboard ! a plane bound for home, along with her doctor, Rexford Kennamer, singer Eddie Fisher, Todd's son, Mike Jr. and his wife. Behind she left all that remained of her flamboyant husband who in 50 years rose from the streets of Chicago and the name of Avram Goldbogen to be Mike Todd, showman extraordidinary, high roller, who died in a New Mexico plane crash last Saturday as he had lived—spec- ' tacularly.
