Two dread diseases, phloem necrosis and Dutch elm disease, are killing many of our niost be a utiful shade trees. Phloem necrosis is a virus, spread by leafhoppers which bite the leaves of an elm tree, and transmit the virus like a mosquito spreads malaria. The trees wilt and die within a few weeks. Dutch eln. disease is spread by a fungus carried by the bark beetle, which lives in dead elm debris. It may take three years for this disease to kill the tree limb by limb. There is only one way to control these two diseases. There s no cure and they must be pre- ' vented. All dead elm trees, dying elms, and elm debris or logs, p must be destroyed. Only 100 per ' cent cooperation, not 99 per cent cooperation, will stop these two diseases. Elm trees are among our most beautiful shade trees and it is a shame to think of a time when none will be left in Decatur. o o A serious accident was prevented only by the grace of God Monday afternoon in front of the Decatur Daily Democrat office. A man, wife, and little three year old girl drove’ up in front of Blackwells department store and parked. The father got out of the car and started to put coins in the parking meter. The mother started right across the street. '“The little girl stood first by her father, and then, seeing that her mother was gone, dashed out into the street from directly in front of the parked car to join her mother. Fortunately she ran into the side of a passing car, and was only slightly injured. Had she been a moment faster or slower, she would have been crushed, as recently happened to a young girl near Ceylon. This brings to our minds a very important fact. Each of our actions will be followed unconsciously by our children. If we are in the habit of dashing across the street without going to the intersection, our children will try the same thing. We may be lucky, but our children will pay with their lives for our carelessness. Safety starts with each of us, and spreads to others who develop the same good habits.

Controversial Bill Approved By Group Senate Committee Approves Measure WASHINGTON (UP) - The Senate Judiciary Committee approved, 10-5, today a controversial bill to restrict or override Supreme Court decisions on security risks cases. The vote came on a watereddown version of a bill by Sen. William E. Jennqr (R-Ind.) which would have entirely abolished the high tribunal’s jurisdiction in five fields. 1 As approved by the committee, only one of these strongest provisions was retained in the bill. It would bar the Supreme Court from ruling on any case Involving admission to practice law in state courts. The other three sections of the modified measure would amend existing laws with the effect of wiping out recent Supreme Court decisions. They would: —Make congressional committees the sole judges of whether questions asked during hearings are pertinent to legislative matters. Under a recent court decision, this might be a matter of interpretation by the courts—Restore to the states the pow- . er to enforce their own antisubversive laws. The court has I ruled that the Internal Security Act gave the federal government • sole jurisdiction in this field. —Amend the Smith Act to make : it a crime simply to teach or ad- ■ vocate the overthrow of the government. This *yould remove the i necessity of showing a “clear and present danger/’ as required by . another high court ruling. Ground was broken Sunday before 250 people in a drizzling rain for the $1,631,000 addition to the Van Wert, 0., county hospital. The National Seal union workers have rejected a wage offer at the Van Wert, 0., plant, and deadline | for the negotiations is today.

Defense Depl. 9 Holds Up Vital Step To Plans Key Provision For j Reorganization Plan 1 Is Being Held Up I WASHINGTON W — The Defense Department is holding up i one of the vital steps in President 1 Eisenhower's "urgent” Pentagon 1 reorganization plan although the 1 White House has said it could be ' carried out without legislation. 1 A spokesman indicated today the key provision for streamlining the ' military comman dsetup may not ‘ be carried out until a reorganiza- ( tion bill is passed. The provision calls for eliminating the Army, Navy and Air Force , departments from the chain of ■ command. Command would then ; run directly from the defense sec- 1 retary through the Joint Chiefs of Staff to unified field forces. White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty identified the ' streamlined command plan April 5 as one of eight steps in the reorganization proposal which could be undertaken right away withbut legislation. He said that part of Eisenhower’s April 3 reorganization message to Congress already was an order to Defense Secretary Neil H. McElroy. Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, Army chief of staff, told the House Armed Services Committee Tues- ; day he had “received no such directive” and “the old system is , in effect.” The Pentagon said today McElroy had requested General Nathan F. Twining, chairman of the joint Chiefs of staff, to work out plans for the command streamlining. Pale W. McMillen To Receive Degree ! Date W.

Recommends Tax

Recommends Tax Aid For Railroads Senate Committee Approves Program WASHINGTON (UP)-A Senate Commerce subcommittee recommended tax relief, guaranteed loans and mare flexible rate-mak-ing today as part of an 11-point plan to help cure the economic ills of the railroads. Chairman George A. Smathers <D-Fla.) said the program was aimed "specifically” at helping the financially distressed rail carriers. But he said it also would be of benefit to truckers, bus operators, water carriers and the airlines. Smathers said the five-man subcommittee was in "general agreement” on the plan but that one member—Sen. Frank Lausche iDOhio) —planned to file exceptions to some of its points. Remedies proposed by the subcommittee were similar in some respects to those offered by the administration but were broader in scope. Eight were to •be incorporated in a bill to be submitted to the full Commerce Committee; while three were recommendations for action by other Senate groups Highlights of the proposed subcommittee bill: —Permit all common carriers to establish “construction reserve funds" to use as investments in new equipment. The money so used within five years would be free of taxes, but there would be no tax depreciation of the new equipment. —Authorize a 700-million-dollar program of 15-year loans to be made by private lenders under guarantees from the federal government. I —Provide more “flexibility” in rate-making by permitting the Interstate Commerce Committee to consider the costs of services provided rather than the possible effects on other carriers. The subcommittee also recommended that other Senate committees act to: —Reduce the present 3 to 10 per cent excise tax on freight and passenger service. —Provide more "equitable ' pay for hauling the mail. —Grant the railroads a more “realistic,” tax deprecition on their equipment.
