On June 20, Adams county farmers will have a chance to help themselves if they grow as much as 15 acres of wheat. Vote yes if you want the wheat price at 75% of parity. This will keep the price of wheat in balance with the cost of living. If you vote no, you will “free” the wheat price to drop lower and lower, while the cost of living to you will continue to rise. If you vjant the price of wheat at 100% of parity, which means a fair return for the labor and property which a farmer has invested, vote Democratic in the November election. W. Robert Fleming is the man who will vote for a farm program that will mean more money in the hands of the farmers, who in turn will be able to spend more in Adams county. .—o—-o The French people apparently are ready for their third dictator. We hope that the United States will remember the lesson of French dictatorship better than the citizens of that country. The first was Napoleon Bonaparte. He led. the country into ruin. The second was his nephew, Napoleon 111 who was tricked by the wily German iron chancellor Bismarck into a second disastrous war. Will Gen. Charles DeGaulle become Napoleon IV? We hope that the Democratic government of the United States will not encourage such a thing. In two world wars we have opposed dictatorship, and we are now opposing Communism. But we must remember that dictatorship is not the answer to any problem of government. The ” ' Algeria’, ahct'" no amount of military show is going to change that fact. Sooner or later the downtrodden colonial areas of the world will force selfc government. Will the United States side with the victors, or with the losers? Now is the time to send a statesman like W. Robert Fleming to Congress to help make the decision. o o The problems of our foreign policy are becoming more acute. The short-sightedness of the Dulles-Eisenhower approach of using loud words instead of real

friendship is now reaping its harvest. A sound foreign policy must be based on Christian principles. The Truman doctrine, point four policy, which meant economic help for underdeveloped countries would have bolstered our friends all over the world. Point four, by furnishing jobs for our own factories would have helped our production problems. It would have made import cuts from our friends unnecessary. Cutting our imports from South America and Asian countries is the fastest way we have of dumping them info the laps of Communism. Most countries must sell goods abroad to survive. If the United States does not buy, then those countries . must sell to the only other market, Russia. Truman's point four plan was the answer. As usual the Dulles-Eisenhower team substituted tough words, and lost a wonderful chance to develop friends by helping others. o o The idea of summer school has undergone quite a change in recent years. Twenty years ago summer school was held to help students who were having difficulty getting through high school in four years. Since then the general course level, including number and intensity of solid subjects was slowly changed to suit the slower students. That left schools with an entirely new problem. Bright students were not able to get all the solid, pre-college courses they would like to have for a background before entering the college of their choice. Now summer school has again been started to help the bright pupils ‘ prepare for college"work By get ; ’ ting solid courses out of the way during the early summer, they will be able to complete a greater number —of—pre-cellege —courses during their high school careers. They will have a broader-cultural background before making a choice for their life’s employment. This is the kind of broad; intelligent school planning which will best develop our children, Congratulations to the 40 forwardlooking pupils who will take part in the summer session at Decatur high school this June and July.

Starkweather Irked At Psychologists Irked At Insanity Reports At Trial LINCOLN, Neb. W — Charles Starkweather, 19, who has not co- - operated with his lawyers’ attempts to have him acquitted of the murder of Robert Jensen by reason of insanity, said Monday he would like to blow up with a ’ hand grenade the psychologist who said he was unable to distinguish between right and wrong. The defense will Wall a final psychiatric witness today. Then the prosecution will attempt “to combat the insanity plea with its own witnesses. The case was expected to reach the jury by late Wednesday or Thursday. Starkweather also said he would like to shoot T. Clement Gaughan, the defense attorney who is trying to save him from the electric chair with the insanity plea. United Press Monday asked Judge Harry A. Spencer what he would do if Starkweather were found innocent by reason of insanity. • Spencer said he would immediately commit him to a mental institution. He said that would be for an indefinite term and that subsequent release would be possible. But he said the state board of examiners would not be likely to release Starkweather. Monday’s testimony was a mishmash of expert psychiatric terminology with County Atty. Elmer Scheele trying unsuccessfully to confuse the defense witnesses. Both Dr. John O'Hearne and Dr. Nathan Greenbaum of Kansas City, Mo., stuck to their opinions that Starkweather was unable to tell the difference between right and wrong. One surprising fact,, however, was that Starkweather was found by Greenbaum to have scored a 97 on an I. Q. test. Normal figures for the test are between 90

TVHAT IS HAPPENING Second Lieutenant ' Emil Schwabacker had had a year of dreary inaction with the Cavalry at Fort Laramie? Wyoming. He felt pent up under the imalUbiy exacting, coldly reserved. First Lieutenant Temple Joee—ryjf- thougm of tns fttmcee; Henrietta, was not consoling, for she was tack in Vermont, a painful memory. The patrol which took him to Ryndlee's ranch changed his career. A company of infantry had been sent to reinforce Fort Laramie. Jocelyn's troop had been ordered to rendezvous with the foot soldiers at the ranch and escort them. A mile from Ryndlee's. the cavalrymen saw the infantry position ringed by attacking Indians. Jocelyn sent Emil with part of the troop to flank the Indians while Jocelyn pushed through to the infantrymen's aid. When the two-pronged assault had forced the Indians to draw back, Emil and Jocelyn found the company of infantry shattered, and its captain, Nathan Kincaid, in agony with a badly mangled arm. Emil, who had run away from a medical career to the Army, amputated the arm. Then, in a renewed Indian attack, Jocelyn was wounded, and it was up to Schwabacker to take command and try to save the force. As a trick, ho arranges what appears a disorderly retreat to Fort Laramie. The Cheyennes, seeing a small wagon train leave, boldly attack. But concealed troopers ambush and rout the Indians. Captain Kincaid dies before the force reaches the fort, and Jocelyn is carried to the hospital in grave condition. CHAPTER 11 Lieutenant schwabacker saw that Jocelyn's face was pale and wan against the white pillowcase. Jocelyn dredged his strength and found a small smile. “Congratulations . . . Mr. Schwabacker. It’s your . . . troop.” The young lieutenant shook his head slowly. “It'll never be my troop, sir. Every order I'll ever give, they'll question and wonder if that’s the way you'd give it.” “You’re a . . . fool,” Jocelyn said with surprising bitterness. “Get out. You’re not. the man I thought you were.” Schwabacker colored deeply, then whirled and hurried across the parade to his own quarters, his cheeks still burning. He could have taken Jocelyn's remark had not it been based upon a lifetime of remarks just like it. , His quarters were Scold and damp and he spent fifteen minutes stoking up the fire to heat water for his bath and shave. Afterward he changed into clean, dry clothes. Rain made sad, sagging patterns on the windows as the daylight faded. He sat at his desk and, taking Henrietta’s letter from his pocket, read it again before attempting to answer it For nearly an hour his pen scratched monotonously in the silence. To read his letter over he had to light "the lamp. Fort Laramie, Wyo. Terr. i April 22, 1867 My Darling Henrietta: By God’s chance I was a member of the patrol that met the mail stage a day’s march fast of the post, and thereby read your wonderful letter a day sooner. To victo the matter in retrospect, I sec now that if I had not been on this patrol, I might never have received it, as the stage station was under hostile attack upon our arrival. One pauses to think at these times about how tenuous is the thread between loved n ones during these uncertain times. I hasten to add that there was fl “ nodapger involved for me, for the , , real campaign is many miles tn

and 110. The highlight of Monday’s testirhony came when O'Hearne described a lunch time conversation with the mass killer. The psychiatrist said he asked Starkweather how he liked the way the trial was going. Greenbaum had just testified that Starkweather „had a “severe mental disease.” "He said he didn’t like it all.” O’Hearne said. ”1 asked him what he would like to do about] it.” ‘flf I had a hand grenade, ’l’d show you,” Starkweather was quoted as replying. *“ “What would you do with it?” O’Hearne said he asked. .a. “I'd kill Greenbaum, ” Charlie | replied. “What about the other people?” “To hell with them.” A Hearne turned to Gaughan,

tire west, at Fort Phil Kearny, 1 and it has always been my lot'to c be in the backwater of great j events, rather than participating in them. t During the brief encounter, my r commanding officer, whom I admire ayd revere as much as my s father, was sorely wounded and 1 I was compelled by necessity to i dredge up my half-forgotten and “ ill-learned skills as a surgeon to s save him. God was with me and s the contract surgeon here assures I me that he will make a speedy s and noble recovery. i I have written to you before of t this man, how like he is to my father, whom f warship, as you < know, in spitc-of his great dis- ' appointment in me. There was < great pain tn my heart when I ] was forced to render surgical aid, ’ for somehow it seemed that thfi ' pain I caused him was a pain against my father. They have the same eyes, you know, and many of the same mannerisms and attitudes. He is a great man, my commander. One feels small and insignificant beside him. Know that I miss you, dearest, and wish to be with you, t ’save* that this duty binds me here. One finishes a job one starts; at least I’ve always wanted to do , that, just to see if I could. This land is not genteel enough for a man’s wife, but it soon will be. Then we will be together; it, is , my fondest wish, for I love you , dearly. , Bless my mother and dear sis- . ters. Kiss them for me and give them my love. If you can, speak to my father and tell him thdt 1 lam well. Your most devoted, 1 Emil An hour later the rain stopped. ’ He opened the door and stood • there while he scanned the dark ' parade ground. 1 His idleness induced him I}o 1 take up hat and cape. He crossed the muddy parade to the hospital and scraped his boots before I entering Cove Butler’s office. But- • ler was brewing a pot of coffee in -a glass beaker. He turned his ■ head quickly, then said, “You , can stand some, can't you?” "Thanks, yes,” Schwabacker i said and toed a chair around. Butler poured into glass meas- ; uring cups and they drank the , coffee without sugar or cream. ; “You’ve got a fine pair of hands • there,” Butler said dryly. “Take ' care of them. Better yet, give up ’ the army and finish your medical studies." • “I liky the army,” Schwabacker said. “Sure, sure,” Butler said. "Emil, ■ look at me. Do you think I’m here ■ because I want to be? Man, f you’ve got the touch, the magic • I’ll never have. I examined Kin- • raid thoroughly. Yoh did work f with kitchen tools I couldn’t i duplicate here on the operating : table. Are you going to throw i that away?” : “Is this going to be a lecture, : Cove ?” Butler finished his coffee. “ForI get it.

backer and said, "The colonel’s compliments, sir. He’d like to see you right away.” “Very well.” He answered the trooper's salute, said his good night to Butler and went out - Colonel Nelson Ashford fanned a pall of cigar smoke away from his face and said, “Sit down, Mr. Schwabacker. How’s the arm T! tine, sir "Schwabacker looked at the other officer, who was seated on Ashford's right Major D'Arcy Davis was the regimental adjutant and acted like one, very prim, very definite, and occasionally very hard to get along with. “Mr. Davis and I have been combining reports,” Ashford said, “and our conclusions are indeed dismal. First, I’d like an opinion, Mr. Schwabacker. Do you believe we've seen the last of Spotted Tail's Cheyennes?” “No, sir. He took a licking, but I doubt he'll be inclined to forget it” “Ah,” Ashford said, as though immensely pleased. “How do you feel about being live bait Mr. Schwabacker?” “Do you want me to engage him again, sir?” "Well, you had such smashing success,” Ashford said, “I was wondering if you could do it again. Mr. Schwabacker, my command is mainly one of supply. That and keeping the Bozeman Road open to Wessels and his fight at Kearny and Fort C. F. Smith. Quite obviously the hostiles mean to close this line by force.” He paused to shroud his face in cigar smoke again. “Mr. Schwabacker, I have an opening for an able first lieutenant of cavalry. To confirm this promotion only requires my signature. It's in my mind to recommend you for this rank. However, it will necessitate a change in assignment for you. If Spotted Tail is bothering the movement of reinforcements-—and that's obviously it, for he never molests a dispatch rider—then I want you to take command of E Troop and march to Fort Kearny. Wessels needs that troop desperately, but more specifically, I need someone to give Spotted Tail another licking.” “I don't know what to say, sir,” Schwabacker said. "My seniority, sir; I haven’t any!” "But you have originality,” Ashford said. “You’ve proved that?’ ' ' “This is quite sudden, sir. Jocelyn . . .” "Jocelyn’s in the infirmary,” Ashford snapped. "All right, Lieutenant, he took the news a bit ungracefully, but Jocelyn is not- in command. I am.” He got up from his desk and unrolled a large wall map. “At eight o'clock tomorrow morning you will pass through the palisade gates with your troop and march at the most expedient rate to Wessels’ command, the quartermaster is now readying a civilian wagon train. Thirty wagons, Lieutenant, and I want them to get there.” “Yes, sir.” Ashford offered his hand. “Carry on, then. Artd remember, I want Spotted Tail engaged and drubbed good." (To Be Continued)

Jocelyn’s troop had been ordered to rendezvous with the foot soldiers at the ranch and escort them. A mile from Ryndlee’s, the cavalrymen saw the infantry position ringed by attacking Indians. Jocelyn sent Emil with part of the troop-to flank the Indians while JoceIvn pushed through to the infantrymen's aid. When the two-pronged assault had forced the Indians to draw back. Emil and Jocelyn found the company of infantry shattered, and its captain. Nathan Kincaid, in agony with a badly mangled arm. Emil, who had run away from a medical career to the Army, amputated the arm. Then, in a renewed Indian attack, Jocelyn was wounded, and it was up to Schwabacker to take command and try to save the force. As a trick, he arranged what appeared a disorderly retreat to Fort Laramie. The Cheyennes, seeing a small wagon train leave, boldly attacked. But concealed troopers ambushed the Indians. Though Captain Kincaid died before the force got back to Fort Laramie, Jocelyn is saved from death by treatment at the fort. Emil is promoted to first lieutenant and given regular command of the company for an expedition to Fort Kearny. It is inevitable that Spotted Tail, seeking revenge. will seize an opportunity to attack him. CHAPTER 12 FRST LIEUTENANT EMIL Schwabacker’s troop passed through the palisade gates an hour after daybreak and was waiting on the flats north of the post when the massive supply train of Beal and Hughes, sutlers, began to trickle into position. Schwabacker gave the hand signal to move and the command proceeded west at a slow walk. The day was dull and low clouds moved across the sky like bulky cotton while the threat of

rain lingered on the perky wind. Schwabacker Had his scouts out, his flankers In position, and before the command could settle into the routine of the march, hostile Indians were reported flanking them to the north. Schwabacker kept this bit of intelligence to himself but thereafter he maintained constant communication between his command position and the scouts. There was little need,,he believed, to alarm his command now. When the first feathered warrior made his ominous appearance on some hill crest, then a soldier could steady down and earn his money. Schwabacker conducted the march according to the manual — halt, rest, walk—although this was difficult Ih the rain-soft ground. That evening he drew the command into bivouac on the bank of a small creek. To their rear, massive rocks loomed skyward and a short mountain range built up in jagged rises. He put the sutler's wagons in thp center; cavalry squad fires burned in a circle around them. As commander, Schwabacker found a dozen pressing tasks to bccupy . him. By the time he completed his rounds, the cook fires had gone out and the wagons were silent, Sergeant Finnegan had saved him a mesa kit full of rations and his waterproof ground

cloth was spread. Emil Schwabacker ate in silence, then settled down for the night. He was up before daybreak, had his coffee and bacon and was taking his horse from the picket line when the bugler blew reveille. When the ringing echoes of that call died, Schwabacker instructed the bugler to saddlebag his horn until the command reached Fort Kearny. He had no immediate wish to call the hostiles down on him like Gabriel at the walls of Jericho. The march continued, a regulation four miles an hour when accompanying wagons. From the prairielike river bottom the Platte suddenly swung left through cliffs a hundred feet high. Schwabacker bunched his command to a closer interval until this section was passed and the land again became prairie. Late in the afternoon a misting rain commenced, stayed with them for an hour, then left, leaving a chill and wet blankets to make the night miserable. Fires sputtered, half refusing to burn. Finnegan was waiting after the evening’rouhds, his face concerned. “Them Cheyennes is studyin’ us all th’ time, sor. I don’t like it.” Schwabacker said, "I think Spotted Tail wants to pick his « own ground. Sergeant Maybe we I can beat him to it.” i “Aye, sor, that's likely. But it i makes a man jumpy nevertheI less.” ’ Overhead the clouds were , breaking and a sliver of moon- . light appeared. There was the ■ promise of fair weather in the I morning, for a strong wind was . coming up, dissipating the storm. r One by one the squad fires died

to ashes and the command rested. The weather in the morning held, and during the next five days the sUh and strong winds firmed up the trail until the march rate could be increased to six miles an hour. Daily reports assured Schwabacker that Spotted Tail’s warriors still clung to the outfringes of the hills, waiting for a time dictated by Cheyenne medicine. After they passed Fort Connor without stopping, the weather turned freakish. The sky became an inverted blue dome, startlingly clear, and the wind died to nothing. The heat began to mount steadily and all day the sun stood molten. Emil Schwabacker had never seen such a sky. The days came in a burst of orange, spreading as though the edge of the world were on fire. The first blue of the day turned to a pale purple and the sun’s color was brightly polished copper. The gregn sage and soapweed tumedi tb gray beneath this thick heat Temperature* hovered near a hundred in the afternoon. Dust rose in choking quantities and the insects came in clouds. Dust sifted into everything—the food, the weave of clothing—to become a flesh-eat-ing abrasive. _. That night the scout reported medicine being made in the hills. Schwabacker felt the first, ratgnaw of suspicion, and wh6h it would not crystallize, it turned

Five Ships Deployed At Proving Grounds Report Tests Near On Anti-sub Device WASHINGTON (UP)—lnformed sources report five ships have been deployed at the US. proving grounds in the central Pacific for an underwater nuclear detonation testing an anti-submarine device. These sources said Monday the test is imminent. The ships participating are reported as a submarine, three destroyers and a transport type. The Senate Armed Services Committee said only that the tests involv “newly - developed weapons for underwater detonation.” The destroyers are from the mothball fleet. But the submarine —the USS Bonita—has been in the active fleet. The Senate, meanwhile, gave the Navy a final congressional goahead Monday to use the vessels to check effects of the anti-sub-marine atomic weapons during the current Pacific nuclear tests. The experiments were expected to provide valuable data on the new weapons, designed to counter the threat of Russia's powerful Submarine fleet. The bill previously approved by the House, cleared the Senate by voice vote with almost no debate. It went to President Eisenhower for his signature. Existing law permits the Navy to use vessels for such tests once they have been found unfit for service- But no active or reserve fleet ships may be used withoul special congressional permission if the vessels are likely to be losl or damaged. The Senate also approved and sent to the White House another bill to permit the Navy to scrap a number of uncompleted ships started during World War 11. Included are the battleship Kentucky and the cruiser Hawaii. Until now the ships have been kept because of their mobilization potenton.

Why don’t they blame it on the Cheyennes’ medic ...” He stopped talking and sat that way, his mouth a round O, his food dribbling off his fork. “What is it, sor?" Finnegan’s voice was concerned. Schwabacker put his plate aside. "Bugler!” he shouted, and the youth came up on the run. "Bugler, from now on 1 want all garrison calls sounded properly and on the minute.” “All, sir?" He was inclined to think his commander had gone mad; his expression said so anyway. "Yes,” Schwabacker said, smiling. “ ’Mess call,' ‘work call,’ ’fatigue’; the whole thing.” “Yes, sir,” the bugler said and walked" away to get his horn. For a moment Sergeant Finnegan said nothing.
