Unusual Cherry Tomato Vine here An unusual cherry tomato vine, more than 11 feet tall, which has been providing low-acid tomatoes since July 12, still has two gallons of ripening tomatoes on it and is growing in the backyard of Arthurs Rains, of 421 Line street. Rains moved to Decatur from Geneva nearly four years ago. and at that time planted some of the plants. Volunteers have grown every year since. Rains digs up I those he doesn’t want, and cultivates the rest. The vine started growing up a peach tree, spread to the clothes line, then went up on the shed, and is still growing under the eaves. Rains continued The longest vines, he said, were about 11 feet tall, and if straightened out, would be 12 feet easily. Over ~500 Dany Democrats are sold and delivered in Decatur - each day.

Ask To Discontinue Passenger Service First Os Hearings “ On Monon Tuesday INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The fate of the historic Monon Railroad will be decided in the next few weeks at Public Service Commission hearings at New Albany. The ’’Hoosier Line,” which has been operating m Indiana' for 111 years, has asked the PSC for authority to discontinue passenger service along its 650 miles of main line. The first of the six hearings will be held Tuesday at New Albany. PSC commissioners will go to Bloomington the next day and to Crawfordsville Thursday to supervice the public hearings. The hearing at Hammond will be held Noy. 5, at Monticello on Nov. 6 and in the PSC offices at the Statehouse Nov. 7. State Public Counselor George L. Diven said he will oppose the move. But he said it will be “difficult” to prove the necessity of continuing service if citizens don’t show up at the hearings to protest the abandonment. Monon officials said they will attend the meetings with proof the railroad faces financial disaster if forced to continue passenger service. They contend the line lost $623,000 last year and faces similar losses now. A spokesman said the ■ losses came despite every attempt jto modernize the railroad in an ■ effort to win more patrons.- : At one time, 14 trains operated ' daily on the Chicago-Louisville j line and 8 on the Indianapolisi Chicago route. That has dwindled j to two round trips daily between

Industrialist Is Convention Speaker Points To Need Os Christmas Influence ST. LOUIS <UPD—People know what is right and good, but they need reminding, according to J. Irwin Miller, Columbus, Ind., industrialist. Miller, who spoke Sunday night at the third everting session of the International Convention of Christian Chur ch e s (Disciples of Christ', urged his audience of laymen and ministers to voice their support of what they know to be Christian behavior. “Our age needs a dear and effective voice of Christian warning, concern and proposal,” he said, “even though it is necessarily the voice of fallible individuals and groups of not wholly pure motives." Miller said there is a need for Christian influence on persons in positions of power or influence. “Church men are to be 1 found in positions of power in corporations whose dealings with custom-, ers, public and employes are less than open, fair and honest. They are also to be found in labor unions in which corruption, violence and lawlessness are commonplace and in governments which fail in the administration of their sworn ■responsibilities. Those influential and powerful persons need reminding." he said. “The prophets ano Christ himself did not so much present new rules as they reminded people of principles forgotten.” If you nav“ something to sell m rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want they bring results.

Bolling Installed Saturday RICHMOND. Ind. (UPD — Landrum R. Bolling, 45, an ex-news- i paperman and political science j teacher, was inaugurated Saturday j as the eighth president of Earlham College. He succeeded Dr. Thomas E. Jones. 75, who retired July 28 to head the Associated Colleges of Indiana. Bolling told a student and faculty audience at his inauguration that the American people face a “crisis of commitment.” He said “we do not know who we are or where we’re going” and do. not have the passion to become sufficiently excited about anything or devote a lifetime to it. Bolling said that neither the ills of education nor society can be remedied by spending more money or passing more legislation. but persons must understand themselves before trying to spend their way to salvation. Bolling joined the Earlham faculty in 1948 as a professor of political science and has served as general secretary since 1955.

CHINESE (Continued from Page one) from England via the North Pole in hopes of fashioning a permanent Far Eastern settlement in talks with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. The Communist action appeared to be a direct slap at Dulles. The order of the day by Communist Defense Minister Pen Teh - huai ending 15 days of quiet in the Formosa Strait noted Dulles’ impending arrival and accused him of interfering in internal Chinese ■affairs. Caught By Surprise Peng’s announcement over Peiping Radio was monitored here an hour before the heavy Red shelling resumed. But there apparently was not time to warn the Quemoy garrison and the intense shelling came as a deadly surprise, catching a number of landing ships on the yellow sand beaches. Nationalist Defense spokesman Rear Adm. Liu Hoh-tu said three LSTs on the beach and a Nationalist commercial cargo ship just offshore were able to pull out in time and were not sunk by the massive bombardment. He did not say whether any were hit. The U.S. Taiwan (Formosa) Defense Command flatly denied Communist Charges the Navy was still convoying Nationalist ships. It pointed out the 7th Fleet had been trimming out the vessels rushed here during the emergency and that U.S. vessels were under orders to remain 20 miles offshore. Dulles’ trans - polar converted jet tanker landed safely at an airbase outside Fairbanks, Alaska, this morning for a four-hour refueling and rest stop. Joseph N. Greene, an assistant traveling with Dulles, said his plans at the moment were Indefinite. He said Dulles had no immediate comment on the Quemoy situation but might have a statement later.

Weeks Considering Quitting Cabinet Commerce Head May Quit Cabinet Post WASHINGTON (UPD — Commerce Secretary Sinclair Weeks is strongly donsideririg resigning his cabinet post, quite possibly by the end of the year. He told friends over the weekend that he is leaning hard toward the idea of moving back to his New Hampshire farm, but has reached no final decision. Mrs. Weeks, the former Jane Tompkins Rankin, has not been well lately and is said to favor leaving Washington. Weeks, 6s, is one of the four remaining members of the original Eisenhower cabinet of 1953. The others are Agriculture Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield. Weeks has said publicly that if he did not remain in office until flie President’s second term expires in 1961, he would quite early enough to give his successor a chance to learn the job and make a record for himself. A new cabinet member cannot very well do that in much less than two years.

Urges Federal Tax On Autos Repealed WASHINGTON (UPD — Dean Chaffin, president of the National Automobile Dealers Association. described the federal excise tax on new automobiles as 10 per cent luxury tax “for a human necessity preceded only by food, i clothing and shelter.” Chaffin urged auto dealers and i motorists to campaign for remov- ! al of the tax as the “quickest and most direct method of reducing the cost of a new car.” He said the tax was imposed to discourage auto buying during wartime and “these conditions do not apI ply now.” If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad — They brine results.
