Prices received by farmers tc day stand at a five-year high of 266% of the 1910-14 average. But cost of living for farmers has risen to a record 306% of the 1910 base. Changes in our patterns of living, which have made mass production profitable, have made the farmer more dependent on buying what he needs than he was in 1910-14. ——-o o—— The retirement of the Rev. O. C. Busse of St. Paul’s Lutheran church will leave a vacant place in our civic life. Rev. Busse has been active for 12 years in the civic affairs of dur city, county, state, and nation. His work in the American Legion is well known. He has made the local post a respected meeting place. He has worked tirelessly in every civic project. The community deeply appreciates his efforts in its behalf. o o , A mere handful of Adams county citizens turned out Memorial Day to commemorate the service of those who died to protect the American Republic in its great wars. Few paused to reflect, in the shadow of Decatur's peace monument, upon the awful senselessness of war and its grim cost. The motorcade to the two cemeteries, the parade to the bridge and peace monument, were witnessed by about onehundredth of the area's residents. Most of these were taking part in it. Memorial day was set aside as a holiday to recall the nameless dead who have left us the great heritage of a free America. Instead of so honoring these dead, we callously ignored them In a shocking, unpardonable breach of even the crudest morality. Why? To see a race, watch baseball, go on a picnic, take a trip, which TV, play golf, or sleep three extra hours. The ceremony lasted only 1% hours, from cemetery to peace monument. Next year, why not start to plan for Memorial day early in the year? If a contingent from each of the clubs, schools, boy and girl scouts, cubs and brownies, fire department, police, civil defense, service clubs, fraternal groups, and sororities joined in,

a holiday worthy of those whs have died to protect us could be observed. —o o A subtle attempt by the Eisenhower administration to unload the vo-ag program is being made. Federal support for vo-ag dteachers would be withdrawn. The government would then pay each state part of the 10% tax on local telephone bills to make up the difference. The result would probably be the weakening or destruction of vocational agriculture in most states, and radical changes in the remaining programs with little national coordination. With our farmers facing increasingly difficult technical changes, a strong vo-ag program is a must. Every attempt to weaken it should be defeated. o o The Communist bloc is trying to extend its cultural pattern through trade with the povertystricken underdeveloped countries of the world. As tradd develops, aid is extended, and the net of Communism descends over the bait of increased production tion and commerce in the many highly populated, agrarian areas now testing their independence. An intensely interesting study oi Soviet trade with Western countries shows that Red aid outstrips American aid in seven strategically located areas—Afghanistan, Burma, Egypt, Indonesia, Nepal, Syria, and Yemen. The trouble that we are now experiencing in these countries is the result of this economic penetration by the Soviets. The Committee for Economic Development, directed by about 100 leading corporations,* undertook the study. Another recent study, entitled “Red Star Into the West,” by the Air Transport Association of America, gives important back-ground information on the regular turbojet and turbo-prop service by the Soviet airlines. Aeroflot, to Greece, Denmark, and even England, as well as the middle east, and what this means to American airlines. These developments affect every American. Many study pamphlets are now available from library sources to keep the American public abreast of world developments.

Some Union Leaders Scored By McClellan Leadership Evils Must Be Eradicated SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPD-Sen. John L. McClellan (D-Ark), chairman of the Senate Rackets Committee, said Sunday night his committee's investigation of labor union practices "has clearly established a lack of morality, conscience, respect and appreciation for the worth and dignity of Amercan working men and women” by some union leaders. McClellan appeared on the Manion Forum network, a radio program sponsored by Clarence Manion. former dean of the Notre Dame law school. ‘‘What the committee has exposed does not constitute an indictment of the labor movement as a whole," he said. “Nor do I intend to convey the impression that all organized labor is dominated by criminal elements.” But McClellan said “the evils I have described must be eradicated.” He said “dedicated leadership of organized labor’’ does not have the power to remedy the situation. "Hie duty therefore rests squarely upon the Congress of the United States to enact adequate laws to safeguard the rights, the merest and the welfare of he workers, of the employers and of the public at large,” McClellan said. He said he has introduced a bill in the Senate which would correct some of the abuses. The bill would guarantee the holding of regular i membership elections, require election of union officers and fixing of their salaries by secret ballot. fix terms of office at two years and provide for removal of union officers “for cause," make meeting minutes and financial statements and other records | available to union members, and prohibit the lending of union funds to union officers. Optimism is having the courage to let go things not- worth keep ing. -r-r—;

CHAPTER 19 I r{E infantry officers assembled 1 before Lieutenant Emil I Schwabacker. “Gentlemen," ne i aald, "it is an hour until dawn. You have that time in which to < position your companies with I their backs to the lake." i “1 don’t want to make a standi" < Captain Blaine said testily. I “You have Uttle choice," Schwabacker said. "Had you remained at Crazy Woman’s Fork, i you would most surely be tight- I ing now on unsuitable ground." < He waved his hand toward the timber. "The Sioux will come i from there, although they have a deathly fear of timber." He swung around to face the lake. "The Sioux have two tactics, the circle and the frontal assault, in waves. Since our position against the lake prevents their circling, nothing remains but a frontal assault, and even that Is extremely limited. It ts their habit to ride through the enemy, regroup on the other side and ride back. As you can see, the lake makes this impossible. Hence our defense is Ideal. They will have to slow their attack at fifty yards or ride into the lake. At best they can only engage us in hand-to-hand aghting, and at great cost to their numbers." Blaine grumbled under his breath, but if Schwabacker’s plan was not written up in the manual, it was at least sound. He went away With his officers and placed his infantry companies along the lake shore. Shovels bit into the dirt and entrenchments grew. Sergeant Sean Finnegan waited, for the cavalry would have to be dispersed. Drawing him to one side, Schwabacker said, “Sergeant, pick eight good men and leave immediately for Fort Kearny. By hard riding you should raise the gates in an hour. Advise General Wessels of our position and tell him that we are sitting in the middle of the Sioux nation. 1 don't think it’s necessary for me to point out our precarious position. It’s my firm belief that we will soon be under severe attack, and 1 think we can hold for three hours, certainly no more than that.” He offered his hand. "Good tuck, Sergeant, and get going.” “I’ll bring th’ whole danged post back, sor,” Finnegan said and made his selection of men quickly. When they mounted and rode out, Captain Blaine hurried i up, his manner anxious. "Lieutenant, where are those men going?" “To Fort Kearny, sir. It's an , hour’s ride from here." “If It’s that close, why don’t we march on in ?’’ Blaine stormed. . “Because 1 don't believe we’d make it, sir,” Schwabacker said calmly. “The Sioux would cut us to pieces while we were moving." “What’s to stop them from cutting up your sergeant and his detail? Cavalry superiority?” Schwabacker refused to rise to t UM bait. "Sergeant Finnegan

To the secretary of the club, and in this general manner: “My dear Mrs. Carter: It is with regret that I must ask the such-and-such club to accept my resignation, since I am lit is polite to give your reason, if possible). Very sincerely yours, etc.” Q. When a person is going away on an extended trip and a friend gives him a “send-off” party, should that person write his friend a letter of appreciation while away? A. Most certainly he should, and as soon as possible after leaving, expressing again how much he appreciated the thoughtfulness. Q. Is At proper for a divorcee to have bridesmaid attendants at her second wedding?

Know* Indians, sir. He’ll stay to the thickest woods, where Sioux bate to go. We’ll make bur stand here, Captain.” ’This is all your doing," Blaine snapped. "Unfortunately 1 allowed my Inexperience to sway my judgment, subjecting my command to the whim of a glatjyhunting yellow-leg.’’ » “Are you finished, sir?" "Yes," Blaine said, a little shamefaced. “But I’ll make a full report of this, you can rely on it.” "Captain, let me Inform you of a few facts. The Sioux were ringing your bivouac last night, and they meant then to give you a licking. The Fetterman massacre ts fresh in their minds, strong medicine. 1 don’t propose to add to it by getting myself killed. Thia is the ground upon which t will fight.” “Get something straight, Lieutenant! 1 didn’t come out here to lose half of my command!" Blaine slapped his thigh impatiently and studied the dark outfringe of timber. T have never believed," Schwabacker said, “that it was a soldiers duty to die for his cause, but to make sure the enemy soldier died tor his. Now ts you will excuse me, Captain, there are many details that require my at tention. ” Blaine’s expression froze, for no man, especially a superior, likes to be pushed out. And yet he was, and he knew it and felt completely helpless to counteract IL There was superiority in Emil Schwabacker, in manner, in grasp of command, that left Captain Blaine feeling incompetent, and a little foolish. He whirled on his heel and rejoined his own command. Schwabacker then walked over to Dr. Cove Butler’s ambulance, which had been pushed to the lake edge where the rocks all but hid IL Butler was sitting on the dropped tongue. “How’s Captain Jocelyn, Cove?" T gave him some laudanum to quiet him,” Butler said. He found a cigar, pared off the end with a scalpel, then popped the smoke into his mouth and touched a match to IL "Nice place you have here. Better than Jocelyn would have picked. H» really meant to make a fight of it at Crazy Woman’s Fork. It’s h • • - when a man gets to the point where he can’t go any farther, and yet’s so proud he won’t listen to anyone else.” “Don’t run hnn down," Schwabacker said. "He taught me everything I know about Indian fighting.” Butler pursed his Ups. “You seem original enough, Emil. Don’t sell yourself short.” He looked to the east where a grayness was beginning to thin the black night sky. “In another half-hour you may be either Uvlng or dead, Emil, but either way, you’ll be a hero." Schwabacker laughed at thia. “Did you just finish a bottle?”

A. No Her wedding must be as simple as possible, and she should have just one attendant. Q. A close girl friend of mine recently eloped. Would it be proper, under these circumstances, for me to give a shower for her, even though she is already married? A. 11115 would be a very nice gesture on your part, especially since she probably will not receive very many wedding presents. Q. Woman guest I know is always using the expression, “my dear,” when speaking with people. Is this considered good form? A. There’s nothing wrong with it, provided, of course, that it is not overdone to the point of “gushiness." v Q. How should a mother introduce her son’s fiancee to her friends? A. One good way is to say, “This is Joyce Roberts, my daughter-in-law-to-be.” or, “TMS 'ls -Joyce Roberts, Dick’s fiancee.”

"What are you laughing at? I’m serious." **l was thinking of what my father would have said bad you told him that.” Schwabacker shook his head. “Heroes are born, Doctor." ■That may be your opinion," Butler said. “But this is the third time you’ve challenged the hoetiles to come and get you You puzzle me, Emit Is there something personal between you and Red Cloud ?” “Red Cloud ?” Schwabacker laughed again, softly. “Covp, I’ll never see Red Cloud." "That’s a pretty positive statement to make,” Butler said. * “Not for me," Schwabacker said. “You want the story of my life, Doctor? It’s the things that happen when I’m not there. When I was young my father took me to see General Andy Jackson We stood on the depot platform for three hours waiting for the -train Then 1 had to go to the toilet. When I came back, the train had come and gone.” He smiled ironically. ’That’s it. Doctor. I wanted to go with Carrington and bund Fort Kearny, but I missed out by a week. Then J hoped for a transfer, but 1 missed that too. You know, Jim Bridger was supposed to come back to the post, but 1 had already left with this patrol and I missed seeing him. Doctor, I’m going to miss the whole thing! That’s the way things go with me.” “What does it take to convince you?" Butler asked. ‘lt could be that you’re doing more than your share of fighting.” "Ryndlee’s?” He snorted. "A piddling backwash engagement It'll never be mentioned against the Fetterman massacre.” "AU right, let that one go," Butler said. “But you picked your ground and fought Red Cloud’e Cheyenne friends to a halt W< heard about the licking Spotted Tail took clear back at Laramie! That was big. son!" "Big ? Doctor, I tricked Spotted Talk In a stirrup-to-stirrup fight he’d have slaughtered my entire command." Schwabacker paused. "No, Red Cloud’s after Fort Kearny and C. F. Smith, not me." "Now you’re all set to pick another fight," Butler pointed out “Emil, if you're not careful, Red Cloud’s going to get fed up with you cutting up his bucks and come after your hair personally.” Ths Invitation’s open," Schwabacker said. “Upless I settle down to business, the campaign will be over before I Can get into ft" “Man, you’re into It now!

CHAPTER 20 SERGEANT Sean Finnegan 1 made his ride to Fort Kearny i through the dawn and the Sioux allowed him to pass with his de- I tail through their tightening lines. ! He knew they were there, but he saw and heard nothing. He ’ supposed it was the complete 1 stillness that convinced him of ! their presence, and he wondered why no bullet came, no bowstring twanged. The detail of eight men followed him in single file, looking often at their back trail, studying carefully the deep shadows of the rocks and trees. All of them had the wire-drawn tightness of men who feel something is wrong and cannot define it He cut onto the Bozeman Road as the first light bloomed and pushed the detail into a trot raising the palisade walla as the regimental bugler blew reveille. A guard challenged them, then the gates opened and Finnegan flung off to speak to the officer of the guard. Brevet Brigadier General H. W. Wessels was immediately summoned and came from his quarters, pulling up his suspenders as he trotted toward headquarters. Finnegan made his report “Lieutenant Schwabacker met th’ command, sor. He relieved Captain Jocelyn of command and placed him in th’ ambulance." "With Jocelyn’s permission, Sergeant ?’’ “Na, sor.” Finnegan explained the circumstances, and his part in disarming a superior officer. This drew a deep frown from Wessels, but did not blunt his curiosity. “Lieutenant Schwabacker’s taken a defense position near Lake De Smet sor. He’s askin’ for reinforcements. Like as not he won’t be able to hold th’ hostiles off, sor, ’cause they got him fair surrounded. Cornin’ tn, it felt like we was ridin* through th’ whole Sioux nation, sor.” “Can you show me his position on the map, Sergeant?" "Aye, sor. To the dot" He went to the wall map and pointed to Schwabacker's exact position. General Wessels pursed his lipa and thought for a moment “He chose good ground anyway. Better than Crazy Woman’s Fork would have been.” Th’ lieutenant’s probably in th’ thick of it now, sor," said Finnegan. “Yea. But I can’t help thinking how strange it is that the Sioux let you through, Sergeant” Wessels gnawed his lip. “Red Cloud’s a capable general, Sergeant He’s need to Carrington and his impulsiveness. Carrington would dash out with his command to the rescue and get half ot them killed.” Wessels left his chair to pace the floor. He ram* bled on, talking more to himself than to Finnegan. “Suppoes by letting you through with a message, Red Cloud figured rd come with reinforcements.

Grave Problems Posed For De Gaulle Regime

(Editors Note: General Charles de Gaulle’s rise to power seemed so inexorable in die past week that the National Assembly vote making him pertoter was almost anticlimactic. But is De Gaulle the end of a crisis—or the beginning of yet a greater one Thomas R. Curran, vice president and general European manager of United Press Intemattonl. analyses it in the following dispatch. By THOMAB R. CURRAN United Press International PARIS (UPD—The government of Charles de Gaulle is only a few hours old but already Frenchmen look beyond and ask: “What next?” The general has welded himself a majority in the National Assembly. But that is not his major challenge. It is a constitution that does not work. A war without solution. An economy off the rails. De Gaulle asked for six months to settle these problems—grave problems that have vexed France for years. Deputies will tell you they are not afraid of De Gaulle. “What worries us," they say, “is what happens if he fails.” Gravest Challenge This is the mares-nest of -trouble that) De Gaulle would cure ia six months: —Reform the constitution. De Gaulle feels the present system of government is impossibly weak. His government is the 27th since the war. De Gaulle wants the executive to have full powers (more on the American pattern), and he thinks the people should vote directly on the reform. —End the war in Algeria. This may be the gravest challenge. Can even De Gaulle stand firm when two runaway trains collide with him in the middle — resurgent French colonialism on one side and Moslem determination for freedom on the other? —Get France's economy back on the rails. The war in Algeria has been a fearful drain, costing movement ' stronger than eVer. There i are other chronic ills — high imports and low exports among them. De Gaulle is said to know what he wants and to be inflexible in getting it. Feeling of Relief He was the proud symbol of

Td say that was good figurin’, but what about th* lieutenant, seift* “If I’ve guessed right, I could be walking into a trap, couldn’t I?” "Aye, sor," Finnegan said In a worried voice. “An’ If you don’t, th* lieutenant’s liable to get hisself killed, along With th’ command, sor!" , - .■ “He’s young, Sergeant, but he’s not a William Fetterman." He shook his head. ‘Tm sorry, Sergeant, but Lieutenant Schwabacker has to get out of this the best way he can." “Aye, sor. Do I have permission to rejoin him?" Wessels looked long at Sean Finnegan. He had seen this before, this kind of man, this kind of loyalty to an officer, and by this he measured his officer’s ability, for a man who commanded this commanded greatly. Wessels said, regretfully, “You do not. You’re dismissed, Sergeant." "Aye, sor,” Finnegan said, anger a flame border around his mind, and in his voice. General Wessels understood. “Hate me if it’ll help, Sergeant." Finnegan opened his mouth to speak, then waved his hand futilely and stomped out without saluting. General Wessels let him go, deciding that an angry man deserved this liberty—and perhaps more. • • • Dawn came and all the night shadows vanished. Emil Schwabacker stood along the rocky lake shore, his eyes turned to the only possible lane of Indian attack, the fringe of trees several hundred yards away. Every man in his command had his eyes fixed on this target. Schwabacker’s first thought was that he had again made some terrible, unforgivable mistake in judgment and his glance whipped around to the ends of the lake, but there was no evidence of a hostile flanking movement. A glance showed him the impossibility of such a maneuver. No, the attack had to come from the front There was no other way. Lieutenant Schwabacker left his command position and went rearward to where Captain Jocelyn lay in the ambulance, his engraved pistol firmly grasped tn a Steady hand. He watched Schwabacker approach and when he stopped, said, “Doubts, Lieutenant?" “Yes," Schwabacker said. He turned his head for another look at his breastwork lined with rifles. "1 can’t make it out, str." “You’re in command," Jocelyn said. "Figure It out, Sir." The resentment in Jocelyn’s voice caused Schwabacker to look at him sharply. He said, "Captain rm trying to understand you, but somehow you've always managed to make it difficult I think you enjoy being an enigma. I i believe you’d wither and die ts ; you had to be like other men." ’ He saw flames of anger tn JbfieJjm’s eyes and know that ha at

France when the country was entirely overrun by Hitler’s legions. He feels he helped save France’s integrity in 1940-and he can do it again today. If he succeeds, the Fourth ReKUc, chastened and purified by constitutional reform, can carry on with greater stability and few governmental upheavals. Anti — if he fails? ' The pessimists fedr the Communists will have a golden opportunity to take over the controls with a “popular front** government. Whatever comes next, the immediate feeling in France today was one of relief. Many Frenchmen who normally might have been against De Gaulle prayed for his success. They feared failure would mean the horror of civil war and the triumph of a communistdominsted popular front. Motorist Is Fined For Drunk Driving Joe Mancer Lindsey, 40, Fort Wayne, was arrested by city police Sunday morning at 4 o’clock for drunken driving. Lindsey was taken to the Adams county jail and given the breathalizer test by the sheriff’s department, which proved to be .17. The reading accepted in this county tp determine if.a person is under the Influence of alcohol is .15. Lindsey appeared in mayor’s court this morning and was fined 150 and costs, totaling $65.75, for the charge filed against him. Trailer And Auto Involved In Wreck An accident involving a trailer and a car at the intersection of Monroe and 13th streets was reported Saturday at 10:50 a.m. to •the city police. A trailer driven by Rajp^l Yoder, S6j BarUbrton, O„ had stopped aft tie intersection to wait for the green light, when a car driven by Forrest Ritzman, Is, Berne pulled along the right side of the trailer for the same purpoae, trailer made a right turn and struck the Ritzman auto, causing S2OO damage to the left side.

last had struck upon the truth. “Captain, I’ve written to your wife. Do you understand me, air? : I’ve written her, advising her of your wound." He was prepared for anger, but Jocelyn’s action surprised him, caught him completely unaware. The pistol arced even as Schwabacker ducked, but the barrel caught the young man on the shoulder with numbing force. Schwabacker clawed out for Jocelyn’s hand, seized the wrist and bent the arm against the joint until the pistol fell from lax fingers. Jocelyn’s breathing was raspy and sweat beaded his forehead. ‘Til kill you for that," Jocelyn said. “Meddling pup!" *lto, air," Schwabacker said. “You won’t kin me, Captain." He looked into Jocelyn’s chilling eyes and found that the chin had vanished. “I think I understand much about you. Captain. Can It be that for years now you’ve been secretly joyed because your wife - has never communicated with you? Can it be that you discovered how martyrdom made you stand out importantly, brought you the notice and talk that otherwise you might not have ever received ? There’s nothing like a secret past, to there, Captain? Nothing like Speculation to keep up interest, to there?" Schwabacker tossed the ornamented pistol into the ambulance with great contempt. ’Tm sorry that I wrote to your wife, Captain. Sorry, because I don’t think she had much of a man to start with.” When he turned on his heel, Jocelyn Baid, “Wait!" Schwabacker turned back. “What to it. Captain?" “1 ...
