Work Held Up Work on the new water line across the St. Mary’s river has been temporarily suspended by the city engineer, while plans for two new sewers are being drawn up. The first is a small lateral to pick up one home that does not now have a sanitary sewer. It will be submitted to the city council Tuesday night. The second is a larger project, and will be worked on the rest of this week. It is the storm sewer change that will take the General Electric storm sewer off the Marshall street sewer. This, it is hoped, will give relief to a number of homes on the Marshall street sewer. The new water line, when completed,, will be independent of the river bridge, and will afford another way of distributing water to the residents of Decatur on the west side of the river. The new water pipe is part of what will eventually be a circular water system, surrounding the city, and permitting much more efficient water use. Saving Tax Money Thoughtlessness costs the Adams county taxpayer hundreds of dollars each year. As an example, Lawrence Noll, county highway superintendent gave us the following figures. Recently the county highway department made their annual Spring cleanup of county roads leading into the towns and cities of the county. This just covered 11/il l /i miles from each town or village—not the entire county. It took V/> days to collect all the beer cans on the county highway right-of-way. In fact, 11 truck loads of cans and other debris were hauled away. The 145 man-hours of work at $1.45 an hour cost the county $179.80, plus the 68 equipment hours at $1.95 for an additional $132.60, or $312.40. This same amount of money would have purchased 215 tons of stone, enough to restone two miles. eThis is just a small example. Think of the twisted signs that have to be repaired or replaced. Think of the malicious damage done in the men and women’s rest rooms at the court houses Think of the stone knocked off the county roads by racing autos. This money can be saved if you remember to treat the county property as your own property. It is, you know. You, the taxpayer, must pay for its upkeep. If each of us would change his own habits, and raise his children to do the same, the problem would be solved, and the county could run on a smaller budget, or more could be accomplished on the present budget. Remember, you hurt no one but yourself, and your friends, when you dump rubbish or beer cans alongside a county or state road. Besides that, if you are caught, • • the punishment is quite severe. Few of us wish to pay the minimum fine of SIOO and costs that results from a conviction for dumping rubbish.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED Ralph Harlingen, attorney tor the accused man. i* having difficulty persuading Murray - Kirk co become involved in e case somewhat different from those the Conmy-Kirk detective agency nas made Ite business it obligates Kirk to find evidence that Arnold Lundeen, s New York City policeman isn't guilty ot bribery. Lundeen arrested an Eddie schrade tor bookmaking When a grand tury began investigating the operations of a gambling syndicate and called Schrade as a witness. Eddie declared his arrest was a fake: that he was lust a stnnd-ln for the real~ mlprit. an fra Miller one of Boss Wykoff s bis shots Miller in turn, told the grand Jury that he had paid Lundeen 61.00 Tto arrest Schrade tn his olace. Lundeen told the lurv these 'barges were untrue, and was Indicted for perturv His fiancee Ruth Vincent hired Rnlnh Harlingen to defend him and Harlingen has turned to Kirk for aid. ... _ CHAPTER 2 "] OOR.” Ralph Harlingen said L earnestly, "this might sound a little top-heavy, ft might sound tike something you've heard before, but I count myself a pretty good judge of human nature. And before I agreed to take Lundeen as a client I made it a point to have a long, long talk with him Not just about the case, mind you. What I reallv wanted was to get deep down inside, to sort of poke and prod around to see the man underneath. And what I saw was all right. 1 wouldn’t have touched the case if 1 didn’t think so." “Do you think that’s what I’m worried about." said Murray Kirk, “whether your man is a deserving case or not?” ’’From what you said—” “1 didn’t say anything about that You ought to Know, Mr. Harlingen, that an outfit like mine doesn’t give a darn about a client’s character. For that matter. neither do most of tha lawyers 1 know. We’d all be out business * tomorrow, if we did.'’ Murray shook tils head. ’That isn’t the point at all. What I’m getttlng at is that your case is tied right tn with this Wykoff business, and 1 don’t like IL Wykoff’s testified that he's been paying one million dollars a year tn graft to the police for the past ten years. What does it mean, now that he’a blown the lid off the deal ? It means that the whole department Is as sick and surly as a bagful of rattlesnakes, and It’s not a bag i want to stick my hand Inta Comry-Kirk has always gotten along with the police on a nice, quiet, Uve-and-let-live basis, We’B string along with that policy now." "But it’s my case," argued Harlingen “If there** any trouble, I’m the one to take the responsibility." "Maybe, but the ax would still fan on us.” i' "Oh, great," «aid Harlingen. "TYiat's great. What you’re telling me. then, is that if Lundeen wants his chance In court he’d better go to some big law office where they have the staff to, handle tt personally. That’s what it comes down to, isn’t ft?” “Why not? There are law office* that would be glad to handle © Copyright, UH, IV Stanley I • . . . ... «...

Forty-five years old." “What about it? You've still got a lopg time to go.” “Go where?” Harlingen demanded. "Ah. you don’t understand. You don’t understand at all. Don’t you see that now that 1 found the guts to walk out on a job as the oldest office boy tn town f can't crawl back into another one like it? That's what’s at stake here. It's not just a matter of handling a case on my own. I know I can do a decent job on any case, if I have the chance. But 1 nave to—-well, it’s terribly important for me to get the chance. That’s the thing.” “For you. yes,” said 'Murray wearily. "But I have to think of my agency’s interests.” •That’s definite?” “Yes." Harlingen hefted a pencil tn his palm. Then he suddenly asked. "You wouldn't mind if I got in touch with you again about this, 1 suppose?” "I’m in the office every afternoon,” Murray said. • • • It was a routine Friday for Murray—out-of-town reports to collate, assignments to arrange, al) punctuated by incessant phone calls—but a vague restlessness in him made It seem endless. At tour o’clock he drew, open the window curtains and stood looking down at what could be seen of New York five stories below Umbrellas, the first sprinkling of packages done up in Christmas wrappings, the first Santa Claus ot the season with the Inevitable hand bell and tripod. He was calculating the chances of tossing a quarter into the collection pot from fifty feet above it, when the receptionist walked tn and called him to attention. “It’s a young lady, Mr. Kirk. She says it’s about an Arnold Lundeen.” Murray pocketed the quarter. “What would you say she was. Miss Whiteside? Wife, sister, or friend of the family ?’’ “Engaged to him. I guess.’’ Miss Whiteside had the hauteur of a tearoom hostess, a passion for confession magazines, and a fine eye for detaif s "She’s wearing a

ring. “Anything else?” "Well.” said ’ Miss Whiteside, “she’s awfully pretty." Her eye had not deceived her. The girl was more than pretty; she was astonishingly beautiful. Ebony-dark hair, long-lashed blue eyes, camellia skin. It was incredible that a cop, a dumb, dishonest cop, should ever have come into the possession of anything lUce this.

Deputy Coroner Os Allen County Fined FORT WAYNE. Ind. (UPD — Allen Circuit Judge William Schannen fined the Allen County Deputy Coroner SIOO Monday for contempt of court. Dr. Paul Miller was tried on contempt charges in connection with the retrial of convicted wifeslayer Richard Kiefer, 37, Fort Wayne. Kiefer's retrial was scheduled to take place a few weeks ago, but had to be postponed because Miller was on vacation at the time. The deputy coroner was subpoenaed for the trial as a key state witness and when he failed to appear the Allen County prosecutor filed contempt charges. The retrial is now slated for June 9. Kiefer was convicted and sentenced to death for the hatchet slaying of his wife, Pearl, 36, and five-year-old daughter, Dorothy, in the basement of their home, Jan. 15, 1957. But the conviction was reversed by the Indiana Supreme Court last November on grounds that photographs of the victims prejudiced the jury.

Sieling, representative for Decatur. The historical movie depicts the growth of the company in conjunction with the rise of the United States as a world power. The title of the film is “For All .Time,” which is taken from a longtime Equitable description of life insurance, “Not for a day, but for all time.” Star of the picture is radio and TV-narator Ed Herilhy. Program chairmen of various or-, ganizations can arrange a showing of “For All Time” by contacting Sieling, 768 Park View Drive, Decatur.

She sat primly on the edge of the chair, her hands clasped In her lap like an illustration of decorous good posture. “Mr. Harlingen called me this morning before he left town. He told me an about talking to you last night, but he said 1 that maybe if I spoke to you personally—l mean, explained -things from Arnold’s point of view—you might change your mind. That’s why I'm here." “1 see.’’ Murray carefully arranged two pieces of paper on the desk, edge to edge. “How is it that Lundeen isn’t here himself? Something wrong with him?" “No, he’s working today, and I’m not An army friend of his got him a job in a diner, but It’s way out on Long Island, near East Hampton, so he stays out there during the week." “That sounds pretty inconvenient for all concerned, doesn’t it?" Ruth Vincent said in a tight voice: “It’s not easy for a policeman under suspension to get a job anywhere, Mr. Kirk." “True enough. And what do you work at. Miss Vincent? Modeling?” He gestured at the overnight bag, and the girl glanced down at it. “OH. that. No, it’s fun of notes and papers I’ve been putting together at the library. I’m a teacher.” "A teacher?" “Yes,” said Ruth Vincent flatly. ’ . “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean—" “1 know. It was meant to be flattering, except that it isn’t.” “It should be." “Why ? Are vou flattered any time a woman walks into this strangely sedate office, sees the handsome.

Miss Vincent, by any chance is there a kid named Megan Harlingen in your school?” “Why, yea She’s Mr. Harlingen’s daughter." “I know. Is that how you met Harlingen? How he happened to get Lundeen’s case?” (Continued Tomorrow) refs publisher. Random House;, _^,- T

Car-Truck Accident Takes* Second Life RUSHVILLE, Ind. (UPD-Ern-est Oden, 34, New Albany, died in Rush Memorial Hospital here Sunday of injuries sustained in a cartruck accident last week. Oden was riding in a small foreign car when a runaway truck trailer smashed into it. the driver, Clarence W. Hash, 32, New Albany, was killed outright. New Farm Measure Under Preparation .WASHINGTON (UPD — Rep. Merwin Coad (D-Iowa) is preparing a new farm bill aimed at taking 35 per cent of every farm out of production. Under. Coad’s bill, 10 per cent of each farmer’s crop acreage would go into conservation crops with no government payments. Another 25 per cent would go into the same use, with payment to the farmer from government surplus crops. On the remaining land, the farmer could, grow what he pleased, just so long as not more than half his crop land was in any one crop. He would get 90 per cent of parity price supports on all his output up to a limit of SIO,OOO a year. Over in the Senate. Sen. Richard B. Russell (D-Ga.) said Monday he is in favor of exanding the 1960 conservation reserve program under which farmers earn government payments for taking land out of production under longterm contracts. Russell, chairman of the Senate agricultural appropriations subcommittee, said he favored a move to raise the fund for such expenditures to 475 million dollars —IOO million dollars more than the Agriculture Department has proposed program. HEARING IS HELD Continued from page one are needed for the ■ bowling lanes and parking facilities, the MiesDawson petition does not stipulate what would become of the remaining five acres. Attorney Robert Smith contended that the area would be an extension of C-2 land already in the area bordered by the Schwartz Motor Co. and would not detract from the value of real estate in the area. Mies-Dawson intends to build 40 homes directly to the north of the present proposed bowling alley site. Smith added that the FHA contention of the objectors had no basis because other loaning agencies could be obtained by prospective borrowers. Smith also introduced a letter from Fred Kolter, secretary of fte Chamber of Commereqf which is also taking the matter under advisement, although several directors expressed agreement with the Mies-Dawson petition. Thomas Brame, of the Brunswick Bowling Co., stated that in no othdr instances that he knew of, was there a detrimental factor involved with having a bowling alley built in an area near a residential area. Ten remonstrators appeared and gave brief sketches why they objected to the $200,000 bowling addition. The consensus was that it would detract from their real estate property. savebpto i 5 2"a bale I on imported SFEEIY TWIKE Prices for baler twine 2*6* W per bale In lots of tM Speedy is all first quality twine.

Order Is Dissolved I By Appellate Court Air • S YR INDIANAPOLIS (UPD The I federal government, not the state, I has sole jurisdiction to regulate I peaceful picketing in disputes in- I volving firms engaged in inter- I state commerce, the Indiana Ap- I pellate Court ruled Monday. The ruling came aS the high I court dissolved a temporary in- I junction issued by Jackson Cir- II cult Court to restrain picketing at I the John C. Groub Co. Inc., Sey- II mour. The lower court issued the in- I junction Feb. 6, 1957, when the I Groub firm and Local 135 of the J Teamsters union failed to settle I their differences. Hie dispute, which involved 28 I warehouse workers and truckers I at Seymour, broke out when the I union , attempted to organize I Groub company employees. Thirteen of the workers went on | strike and engaged in peaceful picketing of the firm’s warehouse and its Jay-C grocery stores in I several southern Indiana cities. Both labor and management ap-|| pealed to the National Labor Re-j la tions Board for belief. But the NLRB later dropped the case when neither side pressed for a decision. i The company then went to the court and obtained an injunction enjoining the workers from picketing. The high court, in an opinion written by Judge G. Remy Bierly, said evidence indicated the picketing was “peaceful and without violence” and did not endanger I person or property. Evidence also revealed that the Groub firm was engaged in interstate commerce. The high court said the federal government, through the NLRB, had sole jurisdiction in such a | case and said the lower court h erred in granting an injunction against picketing. LtsxsaHs Paul Miller was released from the .Lutheran hospital in. Fort Wayne Monday. Under doctor’s orders, Arthur Myers, who is a patient at the Adams county memorial hospital, is not to receive visitors.
