Indications are that we'll have some nice spring weather now and you'd better get your lawn mower and garden tools ready right now if you have put it off. ——O ' ' o Union members are picketing the entire city of Galesburg, 111., as a result of the Chamber of Commerce adopting a slogan, "you Auto buy now.” The union says the slogan is contrary to their picketing of auto dealers where the picketing has gone on for two years because the auto dealers will not join the teamsters union. ——o o ■ " ■ With all the expected spending by the government, it doesn’t seem possible that the depression can last very long. The sad thing is that we waited so long to get started. That is water over the dam now and let's all get busy and take an active interest in all of the government's functions and get out of the depression and watch America grow. —0 —— • - -. . Let's all be good Americans and get behind the Administration on the program to rid us of the depression and let's cooperate regardless as to how we feel personally. If the program is wrong it will fail and until it does, we should give it a good try. President Eisenhower and his advisors are trying and that right now is all we can ask. o—o Congressmen have returned from an Easter vacation and will start an all-out drive for an end of the recession. Perhaps some of the measures will be controversial, but by and large everybody is for a quick end to the ever-growing unemployment, and retail sales stoppages in most parts of the nation. We repeat that Decatur has been extremely fortunate during the present recession and a big majority of our employes has been employed al- ~ most all the time: "Let's TropeTh at' the general unemployment starts immediately to taper off and that we'll have better times at once, throughout the land.

Lots of people were taking in the sunshine and doing yard work yesterday. First few spring days will make the grass and flowers jump. o—o It is highly proper that fun be mixed in with the seriousness accompanying commencement. The next few weeks will be lasting memories and for many of you it will be the last time you'll see many of your class mates, so have fun and be sure and drive with care. ‘fl -- ■<> The next six weeks will be happy days for members of both high schools and especially the seniors of both schools. There will be a series of events honoring; the students which will end in the awarding of diplomas to all graduates. You're really iiv- > ing and don’t realize it until its all over. Have fun and drive with care. o o Work of spring garden planting I has started and before many , days the trees will be green and early plants will be popping out. Before too long we’ll even be wondering where the cold weath- I er went and how long will it be before autumn. o o * . The primary elections are on May 6 in Indiana and there will be lots of campaigning and excitement before then. Adams county has fewer primary candidates this year but the two commissioner and county assessor contests will make up for the shortage. o——o We have a couple of months at least before Congress adjourns and maybe more. Let's be patient as possible and give them a chance to get us straightened out without a tax cut. If that is necessary there will still be time for it and nothing will be lost. We have thought all along that a tax cut for everyone would be the fairest and quickest, but if there is another way, that’s o k. too. Anything to get us back on an even keel.

CHAPTER 30 “■"THE THIRD time,” Nora said ■I m a tone of wonder. "First the pillow, then & push down the stairs, and now morphine.’’, She added quietly, "I can't take much me is cracking up. I feel—strange to myself.’’ "How do you mean—strange?” Mis, Potter spoke tor the first time since he had entered Nora’s room. For the past quarter of an hour he had listened, noticing her pallor, her shaking hands, her haunted eyes whose pupils still reflected the drug she had taken. She turned her head on the pillow so that she could face him. "I guess you had better know about me. I’ve been trying to hide it for a long time but it seems to get worse. Perhaps the real trouble is not that I am in danger, it's that I am—dangerous. You see. I’m not sure about myself. I may be going mad. I do queer things. Mr. Potter seemed unperturbed. "What kind of queer things?” His voice was so normal..that..it.£&Y£ her courage. ’’The first time was last year, the day before Candy was murdered. Stuart and 1 had gone for a walk. Th* day was lovely with warm sunshine, but the air was crisp and cool. Everything was,” she groped for words, “perfectly normal and commonplace. And then —the next tiling 1 knew I was terribly cold and I—seemed to come to, I don’t know how io describe it. There I was tn the lake. I’d waded out into that icy water, clear up to my waist, with al) my clothes on. That’s what gave me pneumonia, of course. All of a sudden 1 just seemed to wake up and was standing on the beach; staring at me, bo horrified, so alarmed.” He had waded into the lake, brought her out and taken her back to the inn. He had told her she was just over-tired and she wasn’t to worry about it. They would forget it had ever happened. But he had been troubled, however much be tried to reassure her. And that night he had asked her to marry him, to let him take care of her. Tears of weakness rolled down Nora’s cheeks. "He was trying to protect me from myself. And I’ve been so awful to him." “Somehow, I can't believe you are very awful." Mr, Potter smiled but there M>as no response in the girl’s stricken face. "You don’t know. Oh, Hiram. I’m so glad you are here. I can tell you things!” But she found it hard to tell them. Slowly, with a number ot gaps, she described !

She pushed the hair back from her forehead. “It was so real, so that feeling I had for bun. And you can see how 'wrong I was, because, instead of loving rhe, he called me a liar. He said he knew w’hy I lied. What is wrong with me, Hiram?” “I don’t know,” he admitted, “but we’re going to find out. Tell me more about those dreams, Nora.” They had started, she said, during her illness the year before. Sometimes they weren’t too bad, dreams in which site was anxious about something, dreams when she felt guilty but did not know her crime. Then there were the fear drcams, which were the worst of all. Mr. Potter went to stand at the window looking out on the broad green lawn with its dappled sunshine. Without turning around he said, "Suppose we find out what is wrong and it — shouldn’t* be pleasant. Have you courage enough for that?” “I haven’t much courage," Nora said, "but it would be better that way, much better. I can’t endure the dreanjs that torment me at night, 1 don’t like forgetting things the way 1 do. I don’t—trust myself." He turned around to smile at her. "Good girt," he said approvingly. "Now tell me one more thing. How does the situation stand between you and Jones and Young?” - - “I don’t know.” “Don’t make your decision yet. Don’t see Jones for a day or so; don’t break with Young. Wait.’’ "What for?” He grtnned at her. "I’m going into action. It may take me a couple of days. You sit tight until then.” "What arc you going to do?” she asked anxiously. “Look for the answer to some questions.” He put out a gentle hafid and ' rumpled her hair. “Meanwhile, don’t take any medicine. Eat and drink only what other people do- And if anything looks even mildly wrong, yell bloody murder. Captain Foote has a good man on guard downstairs. 9 "All right,” Nora said, “but I can’t take much more. You hurry.” « * • Late that night Mr. Potter stepped out of a -chartered plane at Boston.

Ordinarily, I would not r discuss a patient but in this case i I am aware that these murders have altered the situation. What , do you want to know?” 1 What he wanted, Mr. Potter • said, was to know something about Nora Pendleton's mental ■ condition. “Obviously, there was • a reason for her lawyer shielding > her from police questioning, for ’.jour flying down the other night 1 to make sure she was kept out ' of the way.” ; Dr. Ruysdaii! watched Mr. Pot- ' ter while he spoke with the alert , analysis of a good diagnostician. ' his face unrevealing. He sat 1 thoughtful for a moment, work- ’ ing at a rattier smelly pipe. From ' the time of her illness last year, , he said, Nora had been highly ' disturbed. Os course, the fact ' that her fiance had been arrested for murder was enough to ac- , count for that And yet there was ; something he could not get at, ’ an instability, a subconscious con- ’ flict of Some sort ’ “Finley Black was worried. He said that although she established • Young's alibi she was curiously ’ vague about the whole thing. If , the police were to get hold of her ’ he was afraid she’d break down. I So we kept her clear of them. And it was true enough, she was in no condition to be hectored.” He could not explain the night- ; mares for the simple reason that ' he had never heard of them. “The things that people conceal from ; their physicians never cease to t astound me,” he admitted. "Do you believe,” Mr. Potter asked, “she could have imagined ' that first attack on her: the pillow, the smothering, all that?” The doctor nodded. "Quite 1 easily.” "Could she,” Mr. Potter asked ' after a pause, "have killed Candy ’ Kendrick? Killed her aunt, who ' suspected her? Tried to kill her--1 self when it became too much ' for her to bear?” “I don’t know,” Dr. Ruysdahl said heavily.

Bin Submitted Oh TV, Radio Licenses Would Sell License To Highest Bidder WASHINGTON (UP) — A bill was introduced in the House today to permit the Federal Communications Commission to sell radio and television station licenses to the highest bidder in contests between equally qualified applicantsRep. Henry S. Reuss* bill, designed to “prevent future scandals in the FCC,” also would set up a code of ethics for the commission and would establish specific rules for awarding broadcasting licenses. Meanwhile, it was announced the US. Court of Appeals will hear arguments next Thursday on the Miami TV dispute which led to the resignation of FCC Commissioner Richard A. Mack. The FCC asked the Appeals Court to return the case for its reconsideration after a House Commerce subcommittee aired changes that Mack accepted loans from an attorney interested in the channel award. One at the issues was whether the matter will be returned to the commission or whether the court will* go ahead and consider challenges of this award. Reuss (D-Wis.), in support of his bill, said: “This is the kind ■ of legislation required to restore public confidence in this importI ant regulatory agency?’ The measure would forbid com- ■ missioners from accepting "hono- . rariums” or fees for speeches or articles. In contests for station licenses, Reuss’ bill would require the FCC . to give first priority to an appli- ! cant that was “predominantly locally owned” and had no interest 1 in other mass communications 1 mediaSecond priority would go to a ‘ "predominantly locally owned" ’ applicant with interests in other I communications mediae In event the commission were.

confronted with two or more applicants in the first category, it would grant the license to the highest bidder. The money would go into the U.S. Treasury. Present law requires the FCC to be guided only by "the public interest, convenience and necessity” in granting licenses. Frank P. Markley Dies At Bluffton ■- Frank P.
