Illinois university is completing studies of the disease-resistant qualities of radiation-treated spybeans. Three years ago seed from various types of soybean plants was irradiated. The results are now being checked. One type appears resistant to brown stem rot, and another to bacterial blight. o o Yost Construction company will build the Krick street lateral to the Elm street sewer. Sewer construction is very important in Decatur. Unfortunately it is difficult to predict, 50 years in advance, where the population will shift, and build main sewers big enough to handle all storm water and sewage from all the future laterals, this problem has shown up especially this wet, wet summer. If anyone has any suggestions. that do not call for big expenditures, please feel free to offer them! * —<o o>— The state employment security office says that Indiana’s nonfarm employment total at midJuly dipped to T,306.900 workers. They attributed this drop to nonteaching school employees off work for the summer. They say the drop is a natural, seasonal thing. There are many persons out of work who would disagree with this. Decatur has been extremely fortunate to have so many fine projects running fullblast all summer. In spite of this many are still unemployed. The late fall lag is still ahead of us. o o Decatur merchants interested in entering a contestant in the queen contest at the Monroe Days celebration-in- our neighboring town had better get busy. All the money from the fees collected for entering a girl in the contest will go into prize money for the girls. Beauty and talent will be considered. The winner will enter the Jr. Miss Indiana title competition at Bluffton. This is a good promotion for Decatur businesses, and many have employees, children of employees, or friends who could easily qualify. Decatur should certainly be represented.

Tuesday night, Adams county 4-H girls and their mothers are invited to a tea and style show sponsored by Ehinger & Kortenber and the county home demonstration association. The county home agent, Miss Lois Folk will explain tips on buying women's clothes. This will be a fine program for the several hundred girls in 4-H work, and their mothers. o o The wholesale food price index fell again, is 1.2% lower than last week, but 3.2% higher than last year at the same time. Last year the seasonal decline was 1.1%, but in 1957 the same week's figure was only 1.28% greater than the corresponding 1956 figure. There is still some adjustment necessary to bring wholesale food prices down to “normal.” o o Ball State Teachers college will include two famous speakers on its convocation series this year. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, one of the few president’s wives since Dolly Madison famous in her own right, will speak next May 6. This autumn Clement Attlee, the former prime minister of Great Britain, will speak Nov. 10. The college convocations are arranged through a committee of faculty and' students. The public is always invited to attend. —4 o>—Ol— The Federal legislature has passed a bill increasing social security benefits. In spite of vetoes by the president, the present Congress has generally tried to accomplish as much as it could. Southern Senators have been able to block most liberal bills by voting with the Republicans, however. A large Democratic majority is needed in Congress to actually secure new laws. The large body of conservatives in both parties usually vote together against the smaller nurm ber of liberals in both parties. Needed changes have been bottled up for years. A good example is the voting reform, whereby citizens would vote directly for the president rather than ‘for the electoral college. This was killed by Sen. Taft a few years ago.

Hartke Calls For Morality In Government Senate Candidate Says Opponent Violates Morals SCOTTSBURG — Mayor Vance Hartke. Democratic candidate for U.S. Senator, tonight asked Hoosiers to “cast a vote in November for mortality and integrity in government.” The Evansville mayor, in a speech prepared for delivery in Scottsburg, said his election would mean “the triumph of morality and integrity.” He charged that his opponent. Gov. Harold Handley, “is violating the intent and purpose of the Indiana Constitution by running for senator.” He added that “High Tax Harold is running out on a solemn obligation to the people and is destroying his own party in so doing.” Mayor Hartke referred to the fact that the Republican leadership gained a “hasty decision” j from the State Supreme Court j holding that “the constitution of i the state doesn't mean what it says when it bans the governor from seeking an office the term of which begins before the end of his term as governor.” An attorney, Mayor Hartke continued: “Whether the court’s technical decision is correct or .not, there is a moral obligiation involved. The farmers of the state constitution clearly expected that any man honored by the voters of Indiana with the state’s highest elective office would serve out his term. Handley has a solemn moral ♦obligation to the citizens to serve out his term. “Even lifelong Republicans are repelled by such tactics. In the process, the governor may be destroying his own party. “He was forced down the throats of delegates to the Republican State Convention by a ruthless policitical machine which now plans i to spend $1 million to force this political errand boy down the : throats of the good people of this ■ - state. | “Will the good citizens of Hooi sierland ' allow the highest execu- ' ! five office in the state to be noth- : more than a stepping stone? Will I they allow a ruthless political ma- ] j chine bossed a U.S., Senator, i i to crack the whip over thousands of State-paid employes and their families to force acceptance of the machine's errand boy? Will they allow theconstitution to be flaunt- ' ed? Will they approve the highway scandals and the do-nothing state I administration by sending the go- . vernor to Washington? “I don’t believe the good people of our state will do this. I believe they will show their disapproval of this sort of government and politics. I believe they will turn instead to a new face on the state political scene, a man experienced in ■ the law and dedicated to a for- | ward-looking program and to hard ' work to build Indiana.” Mayor Hartke, called Sunday I for “full development of Hoosier boundary rivers to build a more prosperous Indiana. The candidate for senator addressed twd outdoor meetings this afternoon. The first was,at Brownstown, where a Jackson County ga-

thering took place. The second was at Jeffersonville. Clark County. “I have noted with interest that high Tax Harold Handley had been talking from both sides of his mouth at the same time. From one side come words of opposition to federal assistance in any form — especially if it is to aid the school children of our state. From the other come promises of flood control and bridges— with federal funds. “Would he build the proposed bridges over the Ohio River with or without federal money? “What of this new-found Interest in our rivers. Is it genuine? What assurance do the people of Indiana have that Gov. Handley means it when he declares himself for flood control? They have none. His record shows precious little done to control the ravages of floods and to develop the streams of our state, especially the great boundary rivers, for full industrial potential. “The constitution clearly gives our federal government control over navigable rivers. Therefore, it behooves us to have in Washington a senator who believes in such federal aid and who understands the problems and the potential of river development and control. “I am no Johnny-come-lately to this. I was one of those who succeeded in gaining two appropriat- , tions for completion of Evansville’s ' flood control works a feat my opponents said could not be accoml plished. r am a member of the j Ohio Valley Improvement Association and of the Wabash Valley Improvement Association. lam a member of the rivers and harbors advisory group to Congress. Members of the House and Senate Public Works committees have said that I could claim much of the credit for flood control plans in southwestern Indiana. “The repeated losses to farmers, small business people and home owners in our lowland areas of Indiana speak elodquently that a i flood control champion is needed as a senator from our states. Unemployment figures speak eloquently that we need also to concentrate on developing our river valleys for navigation and industry. This I shall do.’’ Drunk Driving Case Still Before Court The case of Robert Edward Be-I I bout, 30, of route one. Monroe, was s { opened today in Mayor's court. Be- : bout was arrested July 20. 1958. ’ and charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor. i Bond was posted July 21 by atand the case was set for August 11. A plea of not guilty was entered at that time, and additional time was given the defendant. At last report, prosecuting attorney Lewis Smith had concluded the state’s case, and the defense was slated to present it’s case after a recess for lunch. President Eisenhower Again On Vacation WASHINGTON (UPD — President and Mrs. Eisenhower plan tentatively to fly to Newport. R.I. Thursday or Friday for their vacation, the White House said today. They vacationed at the same site last fall. White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty said he had no idea how long the vacation would last.
