Slagle copies, 9 cents * • Power Sale Election It is understood that another meeting between Decatur and county officials will be held at 3:30 p. m. this afternoon to again attempt to iron out the differences between the two groups in staging the election. Sound and sane compromises are clearly indicated in the minor differences, if both groups will try to understand the special problems of the other. All the people of Decatur, whether they favor or oppose the sale, want the election, and want it staged by the proper authorities. It is true that the law is somewhat ambiguous and that there is room for some misunderstanding. But not as much as has occurred. The law, in terms of its own definition, clearly dei fines a city election, and this is one. If it is a city election, within the meaning of the statute, then the county election board and the county clerk are charged with holding.the election. -■ Under the actual sale statute the city clerk-treas-urer is given the job of~ “preparing” the ballot. The state election board advised that both the city and county be present at the printing of the ballos. However, the board sent the advice after the ballots had already been printed. Since both the city and county have an interest in the election, it would certainly be easy to swear in the officials who had the ballots printed, and the printer who did the work, and ascertain that no ballots other than those under seal were printed. Then the board can satisfy itself of the number of the ballots by recounting them, and resealing them. There is certainly no need for the double expense of printing more ballots. Anyone who suggests it is plainly using xhe city election for his own, or his party’s, political gain. • • ♦ • Martin Aumann Martin Aumann, a Root township farmer, is no longer a member of the Root township advisory board. He declined to run again last fall, and the newly organized board does not include him. This may not seem like a very remarkable thing, unless you happen to realize that Mr. Aumann had been a member of that board for 29 years, and had served seven full terms under five township trustees. When Mr. Aumann was first appointed to the board in 1929, Amos Lewton was trustee. Monmouth school was a four-room brick affair, and they played their basketball games in a nearby vacant building, the old garage. . -y He served successively under trustees Ralph Rice, George Schieferstein, August Selking, and Omer Merriman. In 1938 the advisory board approved the budget for the addition of a gym to the school, and five classrooms. In 1952 a shop, science room, office and five more class rooms were added. Land amounting to 20 acres has been purchased. All this was accomplished by boards on which Mr. Aumann, now retired, served. Yes, when the advisory board met to reorganize this January, it seemed a little strange to miss the valued advisor of former years. Winefred Gerke has been elected chairman of the board, and Everett Singleton was chosen secretary. The other member is Ed Selking. The township advisory board is charged with the duty of assisting the trustee in financial matters, much as the county council works with the commissioners and county officials. Omer Merriman, present .Root township trustee, reports that the wise counsels : of Mr. Aumann will be missed this year.

Mass Trials In Havana For War Criminals Cuban Executions Are Defended By Cuban Rebel Leader HAVANA (UPD — The "war Crimes” trials of 600 defeated foes Os Fidel Castro, endorsed by the cheers of more than 500,000 Cubans at Wednesday’s vast mass meeting here, begin today in Havana's 15,000-seat Sports Palace stadium. In six provincial cities, firing squads awaited 42 already-con-demned men in a nationwide campaign which Castro says will mean death for about 400 supporters of ousted ex-President Fulgencio Batista. The government today threatened— “revolutionary justice” for 979 convicted common criminals Who escaped from prison during the revolution unless they surrendered within 72 hours. Three of these were said to be Americans who were evacuated to the United State? Jan.. 3 with U.S. tourists. Agriculture Minister Humberto Sori Marin, author of Cuba’s new criminal code, will prosecute the first three defendants scheduled for trial here — army officers charged with the torture or murde of moe than 200 persons. Castro, after repeatedly denouncing the U.S. congressmen and newsmen who had criticized Cuba’s mass executions, told Wednesday's meeting that the number of “war criminals” his men expect to kill amount to only about one for every 1,000 persons killed by American A-bombs in Japan. Wild Wild Ovation The remark drew a wild ovation from the crowd. About 350 newsmen from the Unjted States and Latin America are expected to be among the spectators at the trials, and one congressman Rep. Adam Clayton Powell (D-N.Y.) also may be on hand. Rep. Charles O. PorteF (D-Ore.) the other congressman who Accepted Castro's invitation .to visit

Cuba, told UPI Wednesday night* he will not attend the trials. “Although I’m a lawyer, I don’t understand Spanish,” Porter said. “There would be no point in my attending the trials.” « The Oregon Democrat said he came to Cuba to urge Castro and Provisional President Manuel Urrutia “not to underestimate the help their government can expect from the United States.” Porter conferred Wednesday with Castro. Urrutia and Premier Jose Miro Cardona. He and Powell were guests Wednesday night at a party in Castro’s hotel suite. Cites Nuernberg Trial In his speech Wednesday, Castro cited the example set by the United States and its allies in the war crimes trials at Nuernberg as justification for Cuba’s mass executions. He said the trials in progress here, based « laws drafted a year ago in the hills of eastern Cuba, are “fairer” than the Nuernberg prosecutions, which were supported by laws which did not exist when the crimes they punished were committed. “The number of thugs we shoot

' will not exceed 400 — more or less Jone for every 1,000 killed (by America’s atomic bombs) in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. .he said. “The United States used the A-bomb to achieve peace and save the lives of many American combatahß". “I say to the (U.S.) congressmen that, aside from the fact that they have no right to get involved in Cuban problems, we are shooting these thugs to achieve peace and make sure that tomorrow they will hot again assassinate our'sons. — ; Architect To Speak At Nazarene Church W.A.

International Trade Fair Next Summer Chicago Plans For Trade Fair In July CHICAGO (UPD— The madagin< director of the Chicago International Trade Fair to be held July 3-18 said today that it will be the largest international trade participation here since the Century of Progress exposition in 1883. Already it is a success, he said. Richard Revnes of the Chicago Association of Commerce and Industry said the proposed fair would include a varied array of consumer and industrial products valued at an estimated 34 million dollars representing the finest craftsmanship from 65 nations. “We are guaranteed a success at this point with our ultimate goal that we break even,” Revnes added. “We are not out to make a profit." The lavish show is the first of what Revnes said would be an annual event and will be sponsored by the association. The group is comprised of firms in the Chicago area, and has leased the exhibition hall in Navy Bier. It will, in turn, rent space to business representatives around the world. “In addition to approximately 400 individual exhibitors showing products from 65 nations, the fair will also feature governmental pavilions from 35 countties,” Revnes added. “But the United States will only occupy from 5 to 10 per cent of the space." The fair will follow the tentatively scheduled 'June 23 dedication of the St. Lawrence Seaway by Queen Elizabeth and President Eteen hnwer. — COURT NEWS Marriage Application Margaret Alene Baumgartner, 22, Berne, and Robert Alan Mundy, 24, Beriie.
