State Sesquicentennial Monday state representative Burl Johnson introduced the first bill of his legislative career, a to provide funds for the Anthony Wayne Parkway commission. The bill would provide SI,OOO a year foi- two years. This is quite commendable. The Anthony Wayne Parkway Commission is building an historical I interest in this area of Indiana. JEvery citizen of Decatur and Adams county should support it. In 1966 the Hoosier state will celebrate 150 years X of statehood. An institution dedicated to the spirit, history, traditions, and achievements of Hoosiers would constitute a very appropriate and enduring memorial of that occasion. A modern state museum, to replace .the present pile of junk in the basement of the state capitol building, would be a fitting tribute to the hundreds of men and women who have worked throughout their lives to make t _ . Indiana the great and growing state it is today. A bill will be introduced at this session of the legislature to get this project underway. Land, next to the Indiana state library, has already been set aside for this purpose. At this session $1,850,000 would be set aside to start the building. Under the plans, it could be completed in time for the 150 year celebration. The people of the state of Indiana deserve a building ip which the essence of their heritage can be preserved, a place where a systematic and orderly exhibit, tion of the past can be presented, k museum is an educational institution with unlimited possibilities, available to young and old alike. Nearly every person contacted who is familiar with ■the present so-called “museum” in the basement of the state house has been very much in favor of the new program. But the program must have the support of -state legislators to become a reality. . Inform your legislators, Burl Johnson, and Von A. Eichhorn, of your opinion on the matter. Remember, you can he’p make this state what you want it to be. Your influence in behalf of the state museum hill, while. - it seems small in itself, may well be the “straw” that * bill may well depend on you.

Stevenson Speaks On USSR Travels New Soviet Program May Be Peace Aid LAKE FOREST, 111. (UPD A new Soviet "seven-year plan” may be a major factor in hopes for world peace, former Democratic presidential candidate Adlai E. Stevenson said Monday night Speaking at Lake Forest College cm his USSR travels last surtimer, Stevenson said a Russian desire for an uninterrupted period of progress might inspire a greater “receptiveness to disarmament.” If carried out as planned, he said, such a Soviet program could bring that nation's standard of living “close” to .that of the U.S. within the next decade. “We have the supreme advantage of living under a political and economic system that most people in the world want,” said Stevenson. “Even the Russians want our standard of living.” The two-time party nominee for the presidency lambasted what he considered a generally lax American attitude toward the present growth of Soviet power and trade programs. 4 J “We’re losing ground everywhere,” he said. , “In our fat, dumb, happy complacency, we assume we can’t lose. We assume that right won’t fail.” .. Stevenson called on U.S. leadership to outline the steps Americans must take to match Soviet strides, using the example of wartime mobilization to point out what the American people can do under pressure. o— c 20 Years Ago Today Jan. 13, 1939—The newly organized county-wide school band held its first practice session at the Geneva school.

CHAPTER 34 THE TEXAS trail hands cleared out of Elizabeth Rettig’s trading post a little after four . in the morning. Elizabeth stared at the litter, cups scattered about, disturbed merchandise ' mixed together on the shelves. “Oh, I’m dead,” she said, yawning. “What are you going to do with him, Finley?” She motioned toward the prisoner. “Take him to Tascosa,” Finley Burkhauser said. "Tonight’” He grinned. “It's nearly morning, and I’d best get him out of here. Sandy McLeod will have friends in the cow camp and they might try to stop me or free him. Can’t take a chance on that. Texas has a rope waiting for this man, Elizabeth." She helped him gather his gear . while he saddled two horses. j Saddled, the prisoner was then ■ roped to the horse. Burkhauser went into the store for his good- , bye, a wordless goodbye, for they , met, kissed, clung, lived an ex- . quisite moment in each other’s arms, then parted. • • • Late in the afternoon of the ; next day, Wyatt Earp, accom- , panled by Bat Masterson and ( Charlie Bassett, rode in. Elizabeth was waiting in the doorway. . "Finley gone?" Earp asked, stepping down. "Yesterday," she said. "He , took a prisoner to Tascosa.” Earp sighed and came on tn- . side, Masterson following him. Deputy Bassett had put up the horses and he came in, flogging dust from hia—clothes. Earp needed a shave, along with a good night’s sleep. "Some coffee would go good,” he said. Tom Rettig and Wilson Tanner came in while Elizabeth went to the kitchen. Earp’s glance touched the Tanner boy. “You're new, huh?” "I’m eleven years old,” Wilson Tanner said. "That ain't new, ig it?” Wyatt Earp chuckled behind his waterfall mustache, then Elizabeth came in with the coffee. "Why don't you two boys go and play?” she said, and they ran out, eager for the excuse. When they were gone, Wyatt Earp asked. "Say, isn’t that boy’s father the one Tom—” f “Yes,” Elizabeth said quickly. "We never talk of it.” “If 1 was you,” Earp said, “I'd find another home for him. Someday he will find out.” “Elizabeth Will handle it,” Masterson said bluntly. Leaning against the counter, 1 Earp took off his hat and tasted his coffee. He seemed very tired. “You say that Finley got his man?” “Yes,” Elizabeth said. "Mmm,” Masterson said. "That must have been neat, because Finley’s pretty pokey with a gun.” He grinned. "Still, he gets by on the sand.” He slapped his thigh and looked at Wyatt Earp. “You about ready to go?” "Nothing to gain by staying. We’re chasing a couple of men mated M Dodea." Earp aaUaadl

Gillie urging congress not to permit shipment of arrhs to forces involved in the fighting in Spain. Approximately 100 members of the Decatur school boys and girls bands and their guests attended the annual dinner held at the high school.

went outside with Masterson. Bassett got their horses and they mounted. Wyatt Earp adjusted his holsters to convenient positions on his hips. “If you want,” he said to Elizabeth, “I can inquire around Dodge for a suitable home for the Tanner boy.” “No,” she said. “He likes it here.” "As you wish,” he said. “However, he’s bound to find out that Tom killed his father. Are you prepared to meet that?” "Yes,” Elizabeth said firmly. "It’s something I have no right to duck." Wyatt Earp smiled. ’’Goodbye, Miss Rettig.” 1 The three lawmen wheeled from the yard and rode north while Elizabeth watched. Then she turned around and stopped for Wilson Tanner was standing in the doorway, looking at her with round, blank eyes. Quite disconnectedly Elizabeth thought: he came through the back while we were talking. She raised her hand in a silent appeal to him, but he whirled and dashed through the store. Her thought was to batch him, to talk to him, then she stood there, knowing how hopeless it would be to try to reason this away. • • • Days began to build up, and at times Elizabeth felt that she would Ipse her mind amid the increasing a hostility of Wilson Tanner. He*ate alone, slept alone, not speaking, not even looking at Tom Rettig. She could not shake him from this self-imposed isolation, and she wanted to, for she felt it important that he fight, hate openly, release his emotions and air them. A hot, sticky summer passed and the buffalo grass was turning brown and thin, for grazing cattle took a terrible toll of the range. The Texans who passed through seemed convinced that there would never be another buffalo migration on account of the parched range. The Indians were moving north, even the Cheyennes and the Arapaho were looking for game. Months passed without a letter from Finley Burkhauser, then she heard about him from a Texan passing through. John Wesley Hardin, who was Texas’ most notorious -badnran, had been on the rampage around San Saba and Finley Burkhauser had beep sent there to arrest him. The Texan did not know all the details, but he was positive that a terrible gun battle had taken place in which both Hardin and Burkhauser had been badly wounded. Neither was expected to live. ' The Texan rode north, leaving Elizabeth in a frenzy of worry which lasted until middle September. That was the day Finley Burkhauser drove up Ln a slick-topped buggy and dismounted carefully. He walked with a cane, handling his right leg gingerly for the bullet wounds were only partially healed. Elizabeth

' laughed and cried and the Texarra who were stopping off on their way home cheered and fired their pistols into the air, for nothing stirs a rugged man more than the tenderness of two people in love. The children were overjoyed and even Wilson Tanner put aside his hate to be with Finley Burkhauser. Then one day the buffalo hunters came, the old timers who were too stubborn to admit that the buffalo hunting was over, the market gone. These were the men Elizabeth did not want around the post for they were the troublemakers, the die-hards. Yet they came, for there was no stopping them. Eight in the first group, then six more, led by Mobeetie Jake. Immediately Elizabeth saw that she could not handle the counter trade; these men were like animals, without respect for anything except their own solitary way of living. Finley Burkhauser took over and the hunters immediately objected to this. One of them said, "1 like to look at the woman. Bring her back out here.” "I’ll take care of your needs," Burkhauser said flatly. The man drew his skinning knife and flourished it “Now you fetch her pronto before I start whittlin’.” Mobeetie Jake grinned at Burkhauser. "You ain’t so big now, be you?” “How big do I have to be?” Burkhauser asked. He was not wearing his pistols, which was a mistake. Mobeetie Jake waved his hand. “1 got friends around me now. We take what we want, and pay if we please. Be smart if you done what Chubby asked and fetch the girl. He’s a good one for cuttin' a man.” "Well, it does seem foolish to argue now, don’t it?” Burkhauser grinned. "Here, have another drink while I fetch her then.” Burkhauser picked up a nearly full bottle and in that way their; attention was drawn for a moment And he only needed a moment Arcing the bottle, he shattered it over Chubby’s head, slicing him to the bone, cold-decking him instantly. As the man started to wilt Burkhauser’s hands went beneath the counter and came up with a double-barreled shotgun. The hammers made an ominous click in the sudden silence and his voice was as brittle as dried twigs snapping. "Now you take this piece of filth and clear out of here. Clear to hell and gone out of here, and don’t you come back.” s i Mobeetie Jake wiped his mouth with the back of his dirty hand and squinted at Finley Burkhauser. “You think you can take us all? - The buffalo hunters send a declaration of war, Indian fashion, as Will Cook’s stirring narrative speeds tomorrow to its conclusion.

Moscow Renews Blast Against Molotov Group Heightens Mystery Os Molotov Fate, Others Os Party LONDON (UPI)—A new Moscow blast against the disgraced “antiparty group” today heightened toe mystery of the fate of ousted Foreign Minister Vyacheslav M. Molotov, one of the oldest surviving Bolsheviks and Josef Stalin’s closest collaborator. It also revived bejief a major purge could be in the making in Russia. Hie Communist Party newspaper Pravda today included Molotov in a revived attack on the so-called anti - party group which was removed from power in July, 1957, by Nikita S. Khrushchev. , The new attack came in the middle of reports—and denials—that Molotov was about to be transferred from his exile in Ulan Bator in Outer Mongolia to an ambassadorial post in western Europe (the Netherlands). Prepare For Congress „ Soviet affairs experts saidYhe Kremlin apparently wanted to get Molotov away from the proximity to Red China with which he has established relations too close for the liking of Khrushchev. The experts said a close examination of recent moves by Soviet leaders fitted into a pattern designed by Khrushchev in preparation for the 21st Communist Party Congress in Moscow Jan. 27. All indications pointed to a coordinated plan for $ major purge by which Khrushchev apparently intends to rid himself of known opponente, but even more so of potential opponents. The party congress is to set the scene for this operation. Some believed it might lead to a trial of members of the antiparty group. But Khrushchev may be satisfied with the “unmasking” of alleged opponents of the party and their formal condemnation. Malenkov Feared Most This would strengthen Khrushchef position, which some authoritative sources said was not as strong as appeared 'on the outside. The opponents have been classified as being more or less dangerous to the party—meaning to Khrushchev, himself.
