Bixler The great tragedy in the death of Dr. Bixler is quite apparent to all who knew and loved him. This fine gentleman spent counless hours of detailed work on the new library addition, only to become seriously ill and perish just as the work was being completed. The painstaking detail to which Dr. Bixler went to insure that the children and adults of this community would have the very best library possible could not be spelled out. Example after example could be given. On the night that the boiler failed, he made three trips tt> the library, and was finally convinced that everything was ail right there. The restoration of the priceless heavy oak tables in the adult section was again the idea of Dr. Bixler. His work with the state optometry association, and as a founding member of the Decatur Lions club, and a charter member of the Adams county historical society are well known to every local resident. A lady telephoned us this morning to ask if a memorial fund had been started as yet, to perpetuate the name of Dr. Bixler at the Decatur library. This is an excellent idea, and undoubtedly many of his friends and acquaintances here would be happy to help with this project, if the library board approves. One of the things which always bothered Dr. Bixler was the fact that library service is available to only the residents of Decatur, Berne, and Geneva, and Washington, Monroe, and Wabash townships, the other nine townships being deprived of this valuable service. A program is under way this year by the Indiana committee for National Library week to provide, through the state and local libraries, free, public library service for the one million persons in this state who do not now have it. We cannot help but believe that Dr. Bixler would have been a great proponent of this movement. » * ♦ * Local Effects Every Adams county resident should give attention to the new Federal bill sponsored by Sen. Paul Douglas (D-Ill.) and our new junior Sen. Vance Hartke. —- - .. ...? i _ _ ' •• 2 ■' ' ■ This bill will provide loans and grants to economicallypinched areas to get them to help themselves by attracting new industries. Fort Wayne would be one of the principle large cities to benefit. All of us know that - more employment in Fort Wayne is a must right now . —many Decatur residents who formerly worked there are out of jobs, and searching for work. They will have • to move to new areas if jobs do not become available here. "~~ ■ ’

Law Enforcement Measures Defeated

INDIANAPOLIS (DPI)—A Democrat who voted against repeal of the “right to work” law indicated today that “pro-labor” forces in his own party ini the Indiana House "are out to get me." Rep. Robert - Gramelspacher, Jasper veneer mill owner, made the charge Tuesday after two bills he sponsored failed to pass. Gr®melspacher was one of seven Democrats who voted against House Bill 6, a “right to work” repeal bill, as it passed the House by a 73-23 vote last Thursday. “It looks as though certain Democrats are out to get me,” he said. "Either that or they don’t like policemen.” Both of Gramelspacher’k bills involved law enforcement. House Bill 119 would require a motorist to have his driver license in his possession whenever he Is operating a motor vehicle. It failed to pass for lack of a constitutional majority, even though the vote was 47-46 in favor of the measure. The heaviest opposition came from “pro-labor” lawmakers in Lake, Marion and Vanderburgh Counties. Will Try Again Gramelspacher said he had received supporting telegrams and letters from police chiefs throughout the state, many ot them from the hometown of opposing legislators. “I may have to ask these police officials to contact their own legislators if they want to save the bill,” he said. "But I think I probably will try again to get it passed.” I .. House rules, Gramelspacher can offer the bill for consideration at a future date. But his second bill (HB91) was defeated outright, 33-59, and is dead for this session. Had Safety Backing The measure, which had the backing of the Indiana Legislative Commission’s bi-partisan committee on traffic safety, would assign one state police trooper from each police district to the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles to enforce license suspensions. Whether the "punishment” that may have been meted out to Gramelspacher would spread to other Democrats who voted against repeal remained to be seen. Senate Republicans passed up an opportunity to retaliate against a party member who deserted ranks to join th® Democrats op an upper chamber ’ showdown on the "right to work” repeal bill. Sen. Robert Justice (R-Logans-port) was one of six rebel Republicans who joined with the Democrats to adopt a favorable minority committee report on a “right to work” repeal bill (SB100). Tuesday, he asked consent of his colleagues to introduce a bill out of order, a move that requires approval of two-thirds of the Senate since the deadline for introduction of bills ended Monday.

Senate Action Slow Justice won approval, 37-3, with three Republicans objecting. The Senate was relatively quiet, with most of the day spent on second reading of bills. The only break in the lull came when Sen. Wesley Malone (RClinton) moved to set a date for a committee of the whole hearing on House Bill 66, a “union reform”' measure. The Senate, by voice vote, adopted his motion to hold the hearing next Tuesday afternoon. The House Labor Committee recommended passage of a bill that would repeal the law which prohibits women from working in manufacturing plants between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. and also recommended passage of a bill making it unlawful to deny a person between 45 and 65 employment because of age. The House passed 61-27 a bill (H 826 which would call for a referendum on whether a constitutional convention should be held. It also passed 80-9 a bill (H 833 adding a fourth category, disabled persons, to the public welfare act. Mrs. S. A. Edwards Dies At Van Wert Mrs. S. A.
