Coaches Paul Bevelhimer and Bill McColly, assisted by team managers John Patterson and Waldo Snyder, were extremely pleased with the poise of champions which came out each time the players temporarily faltered. Not just one boy, but the entire team, seniors through freshmen, responded to bring the victory’ to Decatur. The four Decatur seniors, Bischoff, Canales, Daniels, and Shraluka, will be playing theft* last game Saturday against the South Side Archers, unless the same determination and poise, so obvious this past week, is maintained and strengthened. If that can be done, the sky’s the limit for DecaturJ • • • • How To Run For Office A number of persons, in both parties, are now considering running for mayor, clerk-treasurer, or city council. Many do not understand how to go about it. First of all, after a person has decided he might run, has talked it over with his family, and chosen the party which he wishes to represent, he should visit his precinct committeeman of that party, and talk it over with him. -If he received encouragement, he should talk to his county chairman. The chairman may give him a list of other influential party members with whom he should talk before filing. The potential candidate should then draw up a list of statements about his stands on various issues, and what he intends to do. He should contact his local newspaper, bringing in a good picture of himself, turning in the story several days in advance of his actual filing so that the picture can be placed in the newspaper at the same time as hfs announcement. He should include enough details about himself so that people will understand his background. On the chosen day he should file at the county clerk’s office in the court house. Candidates should then arm themselves with printed candidate cards, and begin a door-to-door canvass of the voters to secure their nomination. Both parties should, if they plan to have candidates in the fall, choose their candidates by the primary method. Otherwise, a hand-picked man who is placed on the ticket the first of September to fill the {.'.“vacancy” does not have the experience of standing up before the people received in a primary election.

Reports Caribbean An Explosive Area
Editor's Noto: Frank H. Bartholomew, president of United Press International, is in the Caribbean area makirig a study of the new cold war developing there. In an interview, Haitian President Francois Duvalier told Bartholomew the Caribbean situation is "explosive,” a statement borne out by events in Cuba where Bartholomew found Haitian expatriates planning a revolutionary Invasion attempt against Duvalier. By FRANK H. BARTHOLOMEW United Press International (Copywright, 1959, By United Press International PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti (UPI) —“The Caribbean today is an extremely explosive area,” the president of this small nation which is striving to avoid entrapment as a battleground between two larger neighbors told United Press International. Francois Duvalier, the grave and thoughtful medical doctor who heads the Republic of Hait, said he believes the situation is such that “the United States should take immediate steps to assume full responsibility for maintenance of peace in the Caribbean area.” The doctor gazed through the ] glass louvered windows of the na- i tion’s White House on a hillside i out over Port au Prince Harbor toward Cuba on the distant hori- ] zon as he spoke. j Prepares For Invasion Meantime in Cuba, former Sen. J Louis Dejoie is heading a movement of other Haitian expatriates for a revolutionary invasion attempt against Haiti which he told United Press International will be made within 30 days. Dejoie. a defeated candidate in the last Haitian presidential election. has a bodyguard of two “barbudos.” riflemen from Premier Fidel Castro’s Cuban revolutionary army. Castro has not included Haiti in the Caribbean countries where his government had pledged to assist inoverthrowing asserted dictatorships. However Castro has stated his positive intention to aid in an attempt to unhorse President Hector B. Trujillo of the Dominican Republic, on the same island as Haiti which stands between Trujillo and Cuba. Fear Trujillo Attack “Our concern at thd moment is the possibility Trujillo may move first in an attempt to block us before we are ready,” Dejoie told the United Press International in Cuba. “Before we move we want to make clear our demand for United Nations supervision of Haitian elections.” Dr. Duvalier, a quiet-voiced, ijeatly dressed man with a greying crewcut and hornrimmed glasses, addresses his fellow presidents of Caribbean nations: “It’s time for every leader to think in terms of civilization rather than wars and invasions. "The important battle should not be against one another • but against illiteracy, poverty and disease,” he ’said. “It, J? unfortunate , that leaders continue to think in terms of stirring up trouble for personal aggrandizement rather than concentrating the time, effort and expenditures toward improving the standard of living of the common man. Cites Puerto Rico’s Progress “It is impossible to overlook the remarkable progress of the people of Jamaica and Puerto Rico whose political destines are stabilized by larger Countries, “A new era of peace and prosperity can come not only to the Caribbean nations but to the entire hemisphere if the- United States under the terms of the Caracas Convention of 1954 accepts the responsibility for the maintenance of international peace according to its leadership of the Western Hemisphere.” Otherwise, President Duvalier said, Haiti is prepared to defend itself with its regular army of 5 000 well - trained troops and armed civilians numbering more , than 8,000. .

Attacks' Win Is Feature Os Sectional Play By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — A power-packed and rebellious field of 64 sectional champions headed for the Indiana high school basketball regional tourneys today with a liberal sprinkling of “people’s choices” poised for more surprises. Although one of the strongest second-round fields in. years was assured for resumption of play Saturday, a flurry of upsets last weekend left the impression this is anything but a “cut-and-dry” affair. The major surprises were: —lndianapolis Attacks’ thrillpacked 63-62 sectional semi-final win over city foe Shortridge, No. 3 in the state. —Alexandria’s: 47-38 shellacking of three-time state champ Anderson. —Edinburg’s 39-37 double overtime edge over Franklin, the only three -in- a- row champ which trounced the Lancers five weeks ago by 34 points. —Odon’s 59-56 decision over twotime state titlist Washington. —Nashville’s 62-59 win over Shelbyville, another former “King pf the Hoosier Hoopla.” New Champs Odon. Nashville and Brighton emerged as brand-new sectional winners as 33 first-round championships changed hands, 22 of them Saturday. But nine members of the final United Press Intern ational coaches’ poll “Big 10” survived Saturday’s slaughter, four more than last year. Defending state champ Fort Wayne South, No. 9, led three members of the 1958 “Fieldhouse Four” to victory. The others were top-ranking Muncie Central and Crawfordsville. Springs Valley, the southern finalist last time, lost a thriller to host Huntingburg, 41-39. Bainbridge became the leading “people's choice,” running its perfect string to 24 by repeating as Greencastle winner as Concord’s 24-game skein was cut by Elkhart, 58-56. Other top candidates for “sentimental” choices from here on out include Parker, 24-1; North Judson, 23-1, and Nashville, 20-1. 96.5 Average! Valparaiso,. No. 7, grabbed offensive honors among the survivors with a record 96.5 pergame average. The Vikings polished off Chesterton Saturday night, 109-74, the highest score in four days of firing. Michigan City, No. 6, averaged 86.2, Muncie 83. The figures are somewhat deceiving because many powerhouses, including Muncie, could also have piled up big winning margins. Kokomo led the field at this stage last year with a 94.5 average. Parker, which survived two slow-motion games at Wirfchester, held four foes to an average of 28.2 points while averaging only 36 itself. Michigan City whaled its foes ; by an average winning margin of 42.5 to top that ’category. Huntington Catholic advanced by the slimmest winning margin—s points. Attacks, No. 10, lost to Shortridge twice during the season, but sub Don Swift’s 25-foot one-hander with 7 seconds left wiped out both losses and the Tigers rolled over city foe Tech at night, 78-68, for their seventh straight sectional title. 36th Sectional For Brones Lafayette captured its 36th crown, a record, and 16th straight. Vincennes got - its 35th. Kokomo ■ and Logansport their 34th, Muncie its 33nd. It was the 12th straight I tor Muncie, the 11th for Wabash.
