Adams Central fans will be buying their season tickets this week, too, and Central fans are looking forward to the best season in their history. o— —o Don’t forget the muscular dystrophy campaign which will last the entire month of November. There are 80 cannisters located in convenient shopping centers in Decatur, others in Berne, Pleasant Mills, Monroe, and other parts of the county. Research in this disease costs money. Your contribution will help. o o—— One out of every two persons who have cancer could be helped if they would report any symptoms immediately, and not wait. It is procrastination, or putting off finding out, that allows the cancer to get a hold on the person involved. Cancer can be cured in many instances, stopped in others, and slowed down in most. Right now, only one in three cases is stopped, but this percentage could be improved with public awareness. o o-— Tonight is the Decatur high , school basketball clinic, and the public is urged to turn out and see the local team scrimmage under the new rules. A sophomore games starts at 7:30, with two 10-minute quarters, and at 8 p.m. Don Hollman, secretary of the Northeastern Indiana officials association, will discuss the' rule changes? After this the varsity team will have an intra-squad game. Varsity lineup tonight will include Shraluka, Holtsberry, Dellinger, Bischoff, Gay, Murphy, Hill, Frauhiger, Reidenbach, Daniels, Foor, and Canales. o o Politics over the state has warmed up rather than cooled off.

diana university looked upon the election as a rebuff to Senator Jenner. Many are looking toward Congressman Bill Bray as gubernatorial timber in the Republican party in 1960. Most of the editors present were personally in favor of Jenner for governor, while the educators seemed to prefer Bray. The selection of the house leaders for the Indiana legislature will have a great effect on the outcome of the election. o o State Democratic leaders met in Indianapolis yesterday for the caucus of the Indiana senate and house of representatives. Burl Johnson, recently elected from Adams and Wells counties, reports that the meeting was completely harmonious, and that the Democrats are going to work closely together throughout the entire session to provide the best legislation and most fruitful session in the history of Indiana. Johnson added that he was particularly impressed by Birch Bayh, house speaker, and by senate leader Matt Welsh. The fourth district legislators will meet again in the near future and map their own special strategy, Johnson added. o o It is a little-known fact that Adams county actually has more cases of muscular dystrophy than any other county in Indiana. Although we are one of the smallest in population, we have the largest number, 14, known to have the disease. Apparently there an several types of the disease, and at least one type is merited. The Caylor-Nickel clinic at Bluffton is one of many clinics throughout the United States studying this' strange malady. This month is MD, or musculai dystrophy month. Cannistexs are in many public places. Do your part. Any amount that you give is deductible from your income tax, and you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping your neighbors who are suffering from the disease.

20 Years Ago Today O— —' Nov. 11, 1938—The Democratic committee today claimed the entire state ticket elected by 900 to 1,000 -vote margin. Judge Huber M. DeVoss, Decatur, candidate for the Indiana appellate court, is one of the victors. Only one Communist vote was cast in Adams county in the Nov. 8 election, that one in North Kirkland precinct. Adams post 43, American Legion, celebrated Armistice Day today with the 11 o’clock ceremony this morning and a banquet and entertainment tonight. Levi Augsburger, 79-year-old retired farmer, died suddenly of a heart attack at his home in Berne. < The Decatur Commodores opened their 1938-39 basketball season with a 17-16 victory over the New Haven Bulldogs. Urge Early Contact For Social Security Persons planning retirement at age 65 (or age 62 for women) should contact their social security office the month before their birth month, according to Christian H. W. Luecke, district manager of the Fort Wayne social security office. Recent changes in the social security program permit the district office to complete the development of the claim ten days before the applicant’s birth month. Luecke pointed out that these changes were established in an effort to speed up the receipt of the first month’s benefit check. Another expedidient for the rapid processing bf an application would be for the applicant to bring to the social security office a record of his birth at the time he files his application. Luecke indicated that the Fort Wayne office is ready to accept applications filed at this earlier date, and he felt that this change should help to speed up the first check so that it might be paid shortly after the first month »of eligibility. Checks are usually dated the third of the month after the month for which they are due. This earlier filing date will usually allow the district office time to complete its work on the file and send it to the reviewing office for certification well ahead of the dat£ the checks are usually sent out.

CHAPTER 32 i “I BELIEVE this may very well c 1 be the turning point of the I war, Colin," said Colonel Andrews. “We have a formidable s group of picked men. Even though i we may be numerically inferior, 1 there is every chance that we’ll 1 win the battle and capture the < Union supplies which will enable 1 us to launch an offensive. Who 1 flanks our position?” 1 “Lieutenants Henry and Jackson,” replied Captain Colin Camp- ■■ bell. 1 “Good men," Andrews commented. “Good men both, but we ] should have an over-all com- < mand." “We all have the same orders.” “To hold for twenty-four ! hours?” Andrews asked scornfully. “Pah! Trust old WishyWashy Drummond to think that one up! Do you realize that, if an opportunity presents, we shall be unable to launch an effective counterattack ?” “That’s right" Andrews said sadly, “More official mismanagement. With the exception of Lee, our high officers are bungling asses.” “What about Stuart, Jackson, Hood, and the rest?” "Grandstand players!” Andrews said contemptuously. “Very picturesque and good headlines for the press, but they accomplish nothing. How many lives have been sacrificed because those who should have exercised wisdom chose to'play the fool?” “AW of them.” “Eh?” “All of them.” There was a short silence while Andrews pondered. Then, “You’re right Os course you’re right. When do you think the war should have ended?” “It should never have started.” There was another silence that Andrews broke, “You’re right again. Have you always held such view’s?” “Always." “Yet, you’re In uniform?" Colin countered with, “Did you want to fight a war?” “No,” Andrews said without hesitation. “I much preferred my importing business. Colin, you’re a pernicious influence." ' “Why?” “You make me think. Why are we here?" "Soldiers should never think,” Colin advised. “They should merely accept, and we are here.” “So we are,” Andrews laughed. They stopped talking and silence reigned. Colin slid from the boulder he’d been sitting on and pillowed his head on it. He thought of Ann Stewart and immediately wished he had not, for he could not think of Ann without thinking of her dead husband, Liftg. And he could not think of Line without going over and over

Feels New Law Needed

To Stop Bomb Outrages

EDITORS NOTE: Sen. Jacob K. Javits and Sen.-elect Kenneth B. Keating, both New York Republicans, have returned from an on-the-spct investigation of bombings in the South. In the following dispatch. Javits reports his observations and recommendations. By SEN. JACOB K. JAVITS Written For UPI NEW YORK lUPD— The explosion that wrecked an integrated public school in West Virginia early this Monday morning was. caused by the 68th bomb used by what I consider to be terrorists! since the Supreme Court decreed ■ desegregation in the public! schools in 1954. These outrages against schools.! homes, houses of worship, place! of business and a community center have so aroused the con-i science of every good American! that I believe there is a growing 1

in his mind what he might have < done to stop the raiding and save Ling’s life. * Always, he came to the conclusion that, short of putting him in irons, there was nothing he could have done. His sense of responsibility for Ling’s death grew out of his love for Ann, out of the guilty knowledge that it freed her for him if she would have him now. Andrews fell into a sound sleep and his gentle snoring broke the silence. Colin, who had slumbered peacefully on a half-thousand rude couches, found sleep eluding him. He stated at the sky. Soon, by the time the sun rose, only twelve hours of their vigil would remain. When the sun set, all who remained alive would be free to leave. Colin shook his head in irritation. The Yankees had not come all night and there was no certainty that they would come with the morning. Everyone might survive the day. Toward mor.iing, the clcSids scurried away. The wan, sad dawn broke. A heavy mist that had lingered all night over ithe creek wandered into the woods. It hung there like a great thick blanket of white fleece. The sun burned through it and the-mist drifted away. Colin glanced at Andrews, still sleeping, and then at his men. Some of the men still slept, some merely waited, and some gnawed at the cold hardtack and pickled beef that had been issued.

Every man was now a veteran, and all knew that their orders were to hold this position at any cost for twenty-four hours. Yet, perhaps because attack was not certain and perhAps because no one believed he would die, .the nien seemed bored rather than tense or excited. Andrews stirred, wakened, and yawned prodigiously just as Jason Maxwell hobbled down to Colin. “Any orders, sir?” •The orders stand as issued, Sergeant." . “Very well, Captain." , Jason left and Andrews gazed curiously after him. “There's a queer duck.” , “Why?" “I’ve never seen his feathers > ruffled.”, ‘They’re never ruffled." “You'd almost think he likes this.” ’ "He does.” , "What is there to like about 1 it?” Andrews looked inquiringly j at Colin. “Is he bloodthirsty?" Colin said emphatically, "Defr iiutely not! Jason’s one of the t kindest, gentlest and most con- , siderate people I've ever known! f But'he’S" a special case. As some r are born be musicians, artists

public support throughout the nation for a law which would stamp these acts of terror federal crimes J where they are the result of interstate activity. i Reviewing our observations during the fact finding trip that ! Senator -elect Ken Keating of New I York and I just took to t hree Southern cities where bombs have exploded, I believe this latest outrage could well fit the pattern of bombings which law enforcement officers label the work of a relai tively small group of fanatics growing out of the tension connected with segregation in the South's public schools. United In Delusion , Even if this latest bombing is not directly connected as apparently that in Peoria, 111., was not, the people who commit these ' crimes are still united in the delusion that their vicious acts may be condoned by large segements

or engineers, Jason was bom to be a soldier. It is soldiery and not war, that he likes.” Andrews said dubiously, "A soldier who doesn’t care to kill anyone?” “Have you known many soldiers who do like to kill?" “Come to think of it, no,” Andrews conceded. “All this is too profound for my feeble mind.” Gustily and with obvious enjoyment he began to eat his own pickled beef and hardtack. Colin sat quietly; he appreciated the company of this man who was compounded of such earthy ingredients. Then the warm sun, slanting through the trees, made him drowsy and he slept. He awakened suddenly, but no sound had disturbed him and he saw nothing new. Some inner sense whetted by years of constant danger had alerted him. He sat up and saw that Andrews was now keenly watchful. All along the line, men had ceased whatever they were doing to face the direction from which the enemy they could neither see nor hear, but only sense, was approaching. Ten rifles spoke from an adjoining position and were answered by the oncoming Yankees. Colin clearly heard ten more rifles, then ten more, and nodded He had instructed his men to fire in groups of ten so that, by the time the last rifles were empty, the first would be reloaded and ready to shoot I again. Then he saw the Union troops. Men with bayoneted rifles were

walking the ridge across the creek. They made no attempt to conceal themselves because they knew they were out of range. They wanted to draw fire in order to exhaust the enemy's supply of ammunition. They descended to the creek bottom, and when they reappeared they were more cautious. Colin realized that the Union troops outnumbered his- men and also that the third of an army in his command must sound’like the entire army. It was advantageous that the Yankees did not know that General Drummond had gone with two-thirds of the army. Again the first ten rifles spoke, then the second, and Colin aimed and fired with the third. Doubtless, this first attack was a probe to assess the Rebels’ strength and determine their positions. The Yankees returned fire and retreated. .. . There would be a brief lull before the next attack, and Colin took full advantage of the quiet and relaxed. "The great ‘ menacing serpent of enemy soldiers halted. Somebody yelled, ‘Run! They’re behind ns!”* m the story | COIIVIIIW’Se

of the public, if not by local officials themselves. The failure of many state and local officials in the South to take a determined stand in support of the maintenance of law and order and upholding the U.S. Constitution tends to create a climate in which fanatics may be emboldened and the law may be disregarded with impunity, notwithstanding that the public officials who speak against desegregation are also opposed to bombings or disorder. An integral part of the climate of tension in certain Southern areas has been the heavy dissemination of hate mail in many of the target cities, much of it reportedly sent from Northern and Western states. It is now being circulated in such volume that the post office • says complaints about hate mail have literally quadrupled in the last few weeks! New Laws Essential It is for these reasons then, buttressed by our on the spot observations, that I consider essential the enactment of new laws. We should give federal agencies concurrent jurisdiction with local law enforcement agencies in hate bombing cases where interstate conspiracy or action is indicated so that the FBI may move in immediately with authority to seek to apprehend terrorists, much as they do now in kidnap cases under the Lindbergh law, with full local cooporation if that is available. We must also broaden the scope of existing statutes to ban from the mail hate literature which incites to violence while guarding against any infringement of our traditional freedom of speech and press. So far. at least 10 of my Republican colleagues in the Senate have indicated to me •- that they would join in co-sponsoring anti-bombing and anti-hate mail legislation early in the next congressional session. My trip also convinced me that Congress must restore the original part three struck from the Civil Rights Act of 1957 in the Senate so that the U.S. attorney general may go into court to seek to secure the full range of civil rights guaranteed under the Constitution to every citizen legitimately complaining of being deprived of them. In addition, federal funds should be made available to any school district cut off from state financial support because they httempt to comply with the Supreme Court's order on desegregation of the public schools.

CHAPTER 33 W/HTLE steadily gazing in the ’« enemy’s direction, Colin Campbell was startled to hear someone close beside him say, “Captain Campbell!” It was Sergeant Deshmire from Captain Taylor’s company. "Captain Campbell, Sergeant Maxwell’s bad hit!” Colin said almost stupidly, “What?” "Sergeant Maxwell —” Colin was on his feet and running beside Deshmire. but even as he ran his mind rejected the absurdity of this news. Jason Maxwell had come through four years of war without a minor wound. He was indestructible. Then Colin was kneeling beside him. His head pillowed on Deshmire’s jacket, Jason lay behind the tree where Deshmire had placed him out of the path of the bullets. Sweat covered his forehead and dampened his hair. Frothy blood, indicating a lung shot, bubbled from his mouth. He was too deep in shock to feel much pain. Colin took Jason’s limp, cold hand in his and knew that nothing could be done. He hoped his smile was reassuring. “So you finally stopped one, Sergeant?” “I stopped one, Captain,” Jason smiled wanly. Wonder rose and mounted In Colin’s mind. Throughout the years he had seen many men die. Some had been silent, some moaned or screamed with .pgin, some hysterically blurted out a confession of their sins and all feared dying. But when the final moment came, Colin could not remember even one who feared death itself. He had long ago de<i termined that on the threshold between life and whatever succeeds life, some shining, splendid vision was revealed to those about to die. In the final moment they had no fear. Jason was going to die and he surely knew it, but he seemed filled with a serenity that verged on ecstasy. Colin knew that any possible pain could not steal or dim that mood. Pain was physical. “They're cornin’!” Deshmire hissed. Deshmire stood behind a tree about five yards to one side, and Colin looked down the slope to see the Yankees advancing again. The attack was more purposeful this time. The Yankees knew the Rebel positions and they were coming to destroy them. Colin noted that the Union forces did not seem weakened. He waited for the first rifles, the second, and shot with the third. At once he reloaded and in tutn fired again. When the Yankees went back down the hill, the pattern of their attack was evident. This was a battle of attrition. As-

Caril's Statement Is Read At Trial Unsigned Statement By Slayer's Girl LINCOLN, Neb. <UPD — Caril Ann Fugate admitted in an unsigned statement that several times she told her mass slayer boy friend she loved him, but she insisted she was afraid of him. She also passed up a chance to kill him. according to the statement read Monday at the 15-year-old girl’s murder trial. The court took a Veterans Day holiday recess today. At some unspecified time during their nine-day spree last January when 10 persons were slain, the statement said, Charles Starkweather tossed her a gun and said, ‘‘Go ahead and shoot.” “I told him, don’t be so silly,” the statement said. Starkweather has been sentenced to death for the murder of Robert Jensen, 17. Caril is on trial for aiding and abetting in the slaying, and faces the same penalty if found guilty. She maintained that Starkweather, 19, shot or stabbed each of the victims to death, and that she accompanied him in hopes of sav-

ter they wore down the Rebels, they would overwhelm those remaining with a bayonet charge. Colin turned to Jason Maxwell. The first numbing shock had passed, and he was in pain. Jason ground his teeth in agony, and Colin’s wonder mounted. Even this pain could not overcome the serene aura, the ecstatic glow, that enveloped Jason. Colin wiped his friend's face with a handkerchief and said, "We'll get you out, Sergeant.” It was an inane thing to say and he knew it, for they were not going to get Jason out. Colin needed inspired words, but he could not provide them. He glanced up to find Colonel Andrews staring at Jason. Understanding, admiration and sorrow were in Andrews’ eyes. No sentimentality existed in his expression or in his voice when he spoke. "He’s a happy man, Colin.” Colin said dully 1 , "Happy?" “He knows all he ever wanted to know.” With a sudden rush of warm gratitude for this observation, Colin now understood what Andrews had seen at first glance. Destiny had decreed that Jason Maxwell be born a clubfoot: at the same time fate had endowed him with dreams of a soldier’s life. Granted his dream, he had been granted its fulfillment. He had lived a soldier’s life and now he was dying a soldier's death. Colin bent his head. Andrews said gently, “You’re fortunate, too; for while you lingered on this earth one man was truly your brother.” Suddenly the pain faded from Jason’S face and only the ecstasy remained. In a sudden resurgence of strength he stretched forth his hand. Then he spoke in a faint whisper, “Captain." “Yes, Sergeant?” Colin took the outstretched hand and leaned forward to hear the next whisper. Jason’s hand tightened and his smile became joyful. “Bless you, Captain.” Jason died like a man settling into a peaceful and welcome sleep. Very gently Colin covered his friend’s face with his own jacket. Andrews said, "They’ll come again, Colin, but I’m sure we can hold them. If we seize the propitious moment to launch a bayonet charge —’’ A rifle cracked on the opposite slope. Andrews stopped talking abruptly. He wrinkled his brow as though in deep thought, took a halting forward step, and then like a weed in the path of a hot flame, he wilted to the ground. He sighed once and lay still. Colin dropped to his knees, slipped his bare hand inside Andrews’ shirt to feel for a heartbeat, and brought it away*Tt ad th blood. Some sniper, a superb shot and

ing her family. Caril said she became embroiled when she returned home from school last Jan. 21 and found Starkweather hiding, a loaded gun in hand. He told her a frightening story, according to her statement, that her family was being held hostage ‘‘over at that old lady’s house (never identified),” and that if she obeyed him they would not be hurt . She admitted she had many chances to escape during the six days they lived at her house. A procession of suspicious person came to the door — relatives, neighbors, police—and each was turned away with the story that the family was ill. The bodies of Caril's mother and stepfather, Mr. and Mrs. Marion Bartlett and their baby danghter. had been hidden behind the squalid house. Caril said she once tried to whisper a clue to Starkweather's sister when she came to the house, but "she didn't understand.” When Starkweather left her alone in the house, she said. “He tied me up...but he didn’t tie me up so tight it hurt." Her statement said they watched television programs together and enjoyed “expensive” delicacies like ice cream, pop and potato chips. Several times she went outside the house alone on errands, she said,

• blessed with a lot of luck, had seen Andrews, taken a chance, and hit his target squarely in the heart. Deshmire hissed, "Here they come!" • • • There were still two hours until sunset. Colin crouched behind a tree and awaited another attack. The Yankees had indeed come again, and again, until he was no longer sure hoW many times. Os the forty men who had faced them from this emplacement at dawn, eleven were dead. Thirteen walking wounded, carrying two unable to walk, had departed to the rear. Sergeant Deshmire, a bullet through his head and another in his belly, had died behind a tree. Colin tried not to think of the remaining fourteen men. They had killed as many men as they had lost, but the Yankees had originally outnumbered the Rebels and they still did. Colin shifted his position to obtain a slightly better field of vision. He looked at the bayonet on his rifle. It was fixed and ready. Two minutes before he saw any Yankees, he knew the attack was coming. When he saw them, he . did not bring his rifle into firing position because the range was too great. His shot must kill or disable a Yankee in order to eliminate as many as possible from bayonet combat. Again they descended the hill, were lost for a moment in the . creek bottom, and came into view. Colin sighted. He shot coolly, and without looking to see whether i he had hit his target, reloaded • and shot again. The men in blue were very near, and the setting sun glanced 1 from their bayonets. Suddenly rifles sputtered from 1 the enemy's rear and Yankees ! fell. The great menacing serpent of enemy soldiers halted. Somebody yelled. “They’re behind us!” “Run!” another screamed. “They ’ got behin’t us!" ’ Panic spread from one end of ; the line to the other. The Yan- ' kees, who had been so close to . victory, turned in hasty flight ;■ Over the ridge so recently in enemy hands sprang a row of • men with unkempt hair and ; beards and tattered uniforms. But r those uniforms were grey. As the t men drew nearer, Colin recogi nized Tracey Hamlin, then Watt t Sackett. And when they gained . the crest of the ridge, Colin saw i among them his brother, Macklyn. ! t News of Jeannie Oare, Colin’s 1 former sweetheart comes to .
