In just two weeks, the men's city golf league will start again, and hundreds of Decatur men will find a refreshing outdoor sport to occupy their spare minutes and take their minds off their worries. The first tourna ment will be held this Saturday Spring weather plays an important part in golfing activities, and clear sunny weather will increase interest. o—o President Eisenhower’s recent veto of the multi-million dollar watershed act will set Adams county back several years in its plans for work on the St. Mary’s and Wabash river watersheds. Every spring and fall, rains wash muddy soil into the rivers, causing them to swell over their banks, damaging homes, yards, property, roads, and farms, changing the stream’s course, bringing filth and disease into our communities. The sooner we recognize that this must be stopped and make firm plans to do something about it on a longterm, well-thought-through basis, the faster it will be accomplished. o o-— An investigation will be made, it is understood, of the recent tragic death of Howard Beitler of Berne. At the present time, local authorities are waiting for the results of the Allen county coroner’s report. Beitler died in Allen county at the Parkview memorial hospital. If the report is listed as open, or if an indictment is recommended, the next grand jury will certainly investigate. Beitler was headed north on the state preferential highway when the county vehicle turned left onto the highway in front of him. The respective values of three actions must be taken into consideration: Did a sign near the highway block the county driver’s view until he was too far out to turn back? Did the county driver err in judgement of the approaching vehicle’s speed? Did the deceased fail to take precautionary measures when he saw the left turn start? How much each of these played in the final outcome must be assessed by the investigators.

Decatur’s beautiful tulip trees did nob last long this year. High winds damaged them almost as soon as they began to bloom. There is no prettier sight than a beautiful tree in full bldopi, and many residents are justly proud of their “northern magnolias.” ——o—-o Newspapermen continue their formal, as well as informal education all their lives. All newspaper editors whose papers are members of the United Press have joined together to form UPINE, United Press Indiana Newspaper Editors. This group meets twice a year, and the very latest in newspaper practice and theory is discussed. May 10 will be the next meeting with topnotch lectures on news photography and newspaper law. ——■o o—— The primary elections a week from today will decide who the candidates will be in the fall election. Don’t be one of those who pays no attention to the election until the last minute, and then complains that he can’t vote because he doesn’t know the candidates! Sample ballots are posted in many public places, and are available at the county clerk’s office. Inquire among your friends as to the qualifications of the various candidates. Try to meet each one personally whom you do not know. Democracy depends on the continuing interest of every citizen. o- o Decatur Lions did a fine job in staging the fourth annual district Lions convention in Decatur Sunday. Herman Krueckeberg, as master of ceremonies, kept the evening banquet moving along. S. A. Dodge gave an attentionholding speech of refreshing originality on the moral responsibility of Lions. During the afternoon tea' for the ladies, Mr. and Mrs. Reid B. Erekson, of Decatur, gave the dramatic reading-“ The Four Poster,” to everyone's enjoyment. Mayor Robert D. Cole welcomed the guests to the city. Every Decatur Lion, from general, chairman Roy L. Price to the ushers in the afternoon session, did his part to make the convention a big success.

Political Interest Is Low In Indiana Indiana's Primary Election Next Week INDIANAPOLIS (UP)-Indiana’s biennial primary next Tuesday has more overtones than a Chinese gong, despite the fact .the ballots are devoid of big races and interest among voters is low. Democrat and Republican voters will decide on nominees for Congress, the Legislature and many local offices. But Gov Handley, who aspires to the U. S. Senate seat of retiring Sen. William E. Jenner, won’t be on the ballot. Senatorial noThlnees, as well as candidates for all state offices, are chosen at party conventions in late June. Most of the 11 Indiana Congressional incumbents, all of whom seek renomination, are unopposed in the primary, including Rep. Charles A. Halleck, dean of the Hoosier delegation and former House majority leader. Halleck seeks to extend his tenure in Congress to 25 consecutive years. Party Fights Develop Much interest among the socalled professional politicians was created in local races for seats as delegates to the state nominating conventions and for chairmanships of local precinct party organizations. As usual, Indiana was a '‘four party” state, with Republicans and Democrats each divided into two factions. Jenner's faction is in control of the GOP organization and the Statehouse Handley is his handpicked candidate to succeed Jenner, and many observers doubt his rivals for the nomination have much success with Handley and Jenner in control of thousands of state jobs held by Republicans, loyal to them. The “anti-Jenner” faction is I made up largely of persons loyal to a faction headed by former Gov. George N. Craig. Craig tried i vainly to keep Handley from winning the governor nomination in 1956. Should Handley be nominated and then elected next fall, he i would resign as governor after serving half his four-year term ■ and Lt. Gov. Crawford F. Parker. 1 also a Handley-Jenner man. would j take over the chief executive job. j The Craig faction has no candi-i date for senator thus far. Hand- . ley’s only -announced senatorial opponents hre State Sen. D. Rus-, sell Bontrager, and Indianapolis Judge John NiblackDemos Also Split i Democratic factions are divided) generally for or against Paul M. Butler, a Hoosier now serving as the party’s national chairman. But the fight is not so intense but due largely to the fact the party is out of power. Democrats have more than_half a dozen potential candidates for the senatorial nomination, none of them very well known except regionally. The profusion of candidates was believed due to optimism over the party's chances. Most speculation thus far in this election year is how much the Republicans in this traditionally heavy GOP state will suffer from the nations economic situation,}

Says Constitution Violated By Handley Bontrager Assails Handley Candidacy CRAWFORDSVILLE ffl — State Sen. D. Russpll Bontrager (RElkhart' implied Monday night that Governor Handley’s race for the Republican senatorial nomination was a violation of the Indiana Constitution. Bontrager, an opponent of Handley’s for the nomination, said in a talk to Montgomery County GOP members 'that the Constitution is “not a mask to be worn when political expediency dictates and then cast aside as soon as it stands in the way of personal ambition.” Bontrager acknowledged that Atty. Gen. Edwin Steers ruled Handley could run for senator in the middle of his four-year term as governor. Steers ruled the constitutional ban against seeking a second state office did not apply to Handley because a senate seat is a national office. But Bontrager said Steers “carefully pointed out that the precise question involved has never been ruled upon by the Indiana courts.” “May I remind you that our chief executive took a solemn oath to uphold and defend Indiana’s Constitution," he said. "Until Indiana’s courts have spoken he is morally and legally* bound to abide by the provisions of that Constitution as they are and not as he would like them to be.” i O o 20 Years Ago Today O o April 29. 1938 — Bert W Bears, Hartford township resident and employe of Reed Elevator Co., is killed by train at Geneva.
