In about one-half of the nighttime train-car collisions, the automobile does the hitting. About 1,300 persons are killed annually in grade crossing motor vehicle accidents. Cars should always be prepared to stop at a railroad crossing if necessary. 1 o—oi— Hot weather will swell traffic on the highways durtng the Fourth of July weekend. The city swimming pool, Saddle Lake, Pine Lake, and Rainbow lake are all available right here in this county without fighting miles of traffic. o o Industrialist Bernard Goldfine has sworn that he neither sought friend Sherman Adams. At the same time, while under oath, he has admitted listing as “business expenses” several thousand dollars in hotel bills which he paid for Adams. If the hotel bills, vicuna coat, and other “gifts” were business expenses, it. certainly looks bad for the Eisenhower moral crusade. o— —o The supreme court has upheld Judge Myles F. Parrish in the major part of his decision concerning the Wabash-Monroe township line cases. The court decided that the problem was a boundary line dispute rather than a tax dispute, and that boundary lines cannot be changed by mandamus. Judge Norman F. Arterburn dissented and held that the mandamus suit was the proper remedy. There is now a question as to whether a suit for a declaratory judgement will*be started. This was the remedy which Judge Parrish suggested in his decision here a year ago.

Very little of the corn in Adams county will be as much as kneehigh by the fourth this year. For the past few years much of it has been three feet or more in height at this time. o ■■ o The conviction of Elmer E. Sherwood and William E. Sayer for bribery a couple of years ago, when “High Tax Harold” Handley was lieutenant governor is more proof that the present state administration is not responsible. Handley’s office had the same large secretary’s waiting room as the governor’s. Influence must have touched them both. A good way to return decency to government is to elect Burl Johnson state representative and Von control away from the forces of “High Tax.” o o • ,' " R. Vance Hartke is the name of the Democratic candidate for the U. S. Senate. The dynamic mayor of Evansville was first elected chairman of the Vanderhurg county Democratic central committee in 1952.

Salamonie Cleaning Project Continues Early next week, it has been announced, the Salamonie fiver cleaning project may continue. Farmers along the Salamonie are to clean out small brush and trees, and the community drainage corporation plans to take out the large trees with bulldozer and chain saws. After the Blackford county line is reached, it is planned to come back with a drag line to remove sand bars. Spraying part of the , river is also in the plans, so the growth of Weeds and brush can be kept down. SHERWOOD (Continued from Page one? way employe unwilling to help him sell his products, Sherwood and Sayer ran interference for him by threatening to have the employe fired. Specifically, Mpilner claimed this was true in the case of former highway commissioner William Sorrell, whom he said received money and a warning that if he failed to "cooperate” he would be replaced as a commissioner. Sherwood and Sayer steadfastly denied most of Mogilner’s story. , They contended they were hired as public relations representatives for Mogilner. receiving nearly $60,000 for their services although both admitted they did little work for the compesation they received and wondered why Mogilner paid them so well for so little effort. Special Judge Thomas E. Garvin said he would sentence Sherwood; Sayer and Mogilner the morning of July 14. Three other men previously were convicted in the scandals but all of them appealed and none has served any of his sentence. Sherwood and Sayer also were expected to appeal. Smith Under Sentence Smith was sentenced to 2 to 14 years and fined $5,000 for conspiring to embezzle public funds [in the first of the four trials. He 1 was accused in a, land deal involving two back lots along the route of the Madison Aye. Expressway in Indianapolis, which brought * their orginal owners $2,500 and cost the state more than $25,000. Robert Peak, a Milan attorney < friend of Smith, was sentenced to 2 to 14 years and fined $5,000 on a charge identical to that on which Smith was convicted. At a subsequent trial, he was convicted on a charge of falsely otarizing a deed involved in the Madison Ave. lots and was sentenced to 1 to 3 years. Marvin Preble, Austin housemoving contractor, was sentenced to 1 to 10 years on a charge of perjury in connection with an SB,OOO payment received from the state for moving a Madison Ave. house which never was moved. Four other men are awaiting trial on scandal charges. One of them IS Harry Doggett, Greensburg, a former' highway official. Doggett was acquitted at the first trial on charges of embezzlement conspiracy, along with Nile Teverbaugh, former right-of-way chief. Carpenters Await Trial Doggett later was charged with extorting and accepting bribes • from three top Officers of the ! Carpenters Union in connection with “quickie” profits the state i alleges the carpenters officers made oin the sale of a batch of lots along the Tri-State Express- ; way route in Gary. The carpenter officers also are awaiting trial on bribery charges, i They are President Maurice O. William Blaier, and Treasurer ! Frank M. Chapman. Smith still has a charge against him, accepting bribes from Mogilner. Facing grand jury investigation as a result of Mogilner’s trial story are several other former highway officials. Mogilner testified That his bribes or kickbacks were accepted by Sorrell, Cecil P. McDonough, former highway purchasing director, and Lloyd Poindexter, former highway maintenance superintendent. ’ / The jury got the evidence at 8:20 p.m. Wednesday at the end of a day filled with hours of final arguments. Says Craig Betrayed deputy Prosecutor Asa J. Smith told the jury Sherwood and Sayer legion and “dragged the Amercian Legion friend who won the national commandership and later the governorship of Indiana partly through their efforts. Smith said they betrayed the legio and "dragged the America flag in the mud for gold.” He said if Sherwood and Sayer were innocent; Craig would havetestified for them. Deputy Prosecutor Leroy K. New said the defendants were guilty of “the most reprehensible and most vile thing that we have under our laws in a democracy.” Defense attorneys argued that the state’s case was built entirely on the story of Mogilner, “who admittedly is a criminal.” But state’s attorneys scoffed at the idea Mogilner’s story was a lie. „ “He doesn’t have enough imagination to write fiction,” said Smith.

Rackets Probe Handicapped By Old Tradition Racketeers Refuse To Answer Queries From Committee ] WASHINGTON (UPD— The Senate Rackets Committee’s investigation of the Mafia underworld syndicate is being severely handicapped by the old gangland tradition that silence is healthy if not gold en. Thus far the committee has been unable to pry loose any information from the men who know the Mafia best — the mobsters, hoodlums, gamblers, killers and dope-pushers who make up its membership. In its quest for enlightenment on the Mafia’s inter-workings the committed went to the top of the heap Wednesday. It tried for about three hours to extract sortie sort of data from Vito Genovese of New York and New Jersey, described as “king of the rackets.” But Genovese, who looks at the world through yellow -tinted glasses, refused to divulge the secret of his success. He joined the growing fist of alleged Mafia members who have taken refuge in the Fifth Amendment to avoid answering committee questions. Will Try Again The committee planned to give it another try today but was not expected to fare much better. Heading the witness list were two of New York’s underworld figures —James (Jimmy Doyle) Plumeri, convicted labor extoritonist and uncle of the notorious Johnny Dio, and Thomas Lucchese, better known as "Three Finger Brown.’! Committee counsel Robert F. Kennedy said the. hearing would center on gangster infiltration of the garment industry. Besides police records Plumeri and Lucchese have in common a keen interest in the .garment trade. Other scheduled witnesses ihcluded Russell Bufahno, owner of a curtain company in Pittston. Pa., and two truckers, Abe Chait of New York and Buster Wortman of St. Louis. Can’t Say It Genovese proved one of the most persistent users of the Fifth Amendment ever to appear oefore the committee. He emplohed it about 200 times Late in the day Genovese was joined at the witness table by Michael Miranda, described as his associate. The heavily-accented Miranda pleaded possible self-incrimination but had a lot of trouble saying it. Kenedy suggested his attorney write it out for him but Miranda said, “I ain’t got no glasses.” Chairman John L. McClellan (D-Ark.) finally resolved the difficulty by accepting Miranda’s “growls” as indicating he was invoking Constitutional protection. McClellan Angered ' Joseph Profaci of Brooklyn. N.Y., described as one of the most powerful underworld figures in the country, and John Scalish, a Cleveland, Ohio, vending machine operator, also took refuge in the Fifth Amendment. McClellan, outraged by their behavior, said he would urge the Justice Department to speed deportation action against the Ital-ian-born Genovese and other aliens in the underworld. He said “men who come here with these records, defy their government, basking in the Fifth Amendment, are unworthy of the protection of the American Flag ” Father Os Six Is Drowning Victim TELL CITY, Ind.
