Decatur, Indiana *** Stan Freeman, the celebrated pianist and humorist, will finally appear in Decatur for both former and new members of the Decatur civic music association this Sunday afternoon. , Freeman was originally scheduled several months ago, but was routed to Decatur, Illinois, by mistake. While Decatur, Indiana, got ready to receive him, he was traveling in the opposite direction, and it was too late to send him here for the performance. However, he will wind up a brilliant concert season for the Decatur music enthusiasts, nearly 800 strong. And in effect he will open next year’s season—as a bonus for those who signed up, they may attend the last performance this year. The civic music program brings talent to Decatur that would ordinarily be available to much larger cities. Decatur and Berne, with surrounding rural area, turn out in large numbers for the program. This is'-the smallest city in the tri-state area with a civic music program. • • • • Taxes Again Next Monday, May 4, will be the last day to pay real and personal taxes without the penalty. Each person received two bills, one due in May, the other in the Fall. * *- Both Saturday and Monday there will be long lines for those who have put off the dreaded trip until the last minute. If you, like us, still have the trip to make, why not try to get it done as soon as possible now to avoid the very last minute rush. Treasurer Waldo "Bud” Neal, of Geneva, the only Republican with an office in the court house, except , for the two commissioners, will be happy to see you just as early as possible. And if you wish to'pay both assessments at once, he won’t object. Monday is also the deadline for assessment for next year’s taxes. Don’t forget to turn in all your new property. It will go tough for you if you ar6 caught later on. The assessors are generally understanding people, but they must try to assess everyone on an equal and equitable basis. While it seems like quite a chore to have to pay taxes, we should be very happy that Adams county and Decatur have such low rates. They do not seem low in comparison with past years, but they do seem low when compared with Bluffton, Huntington, and other cities. Some are now $7 and $8 a SIOO valuation. Our tax money provides schools, county roads, police protection, city fire protection, the hospital, and many other valuable services which make our lives pleasant and bearable.

WHAT HAS HAPPENTBH , Ralph Harlingen, attorney tor the accused man. had difficulty persuading Murray Kirk to become involved in a case somewhat different from those the Conmy-Kirk detective agency has made its business. It obligates Kirk to find evidence that Arnold Lundeen, a New York City policeman, isn't guilty of bribery. Lundeen arrested an Eddie Schrade for bookmaking. When a grand jury began investigating the operations of a gambling syndicate and called Schrade as a witness, Eddie declared his arrest was a fake; that he was just a stand-in for the real culprit, an Ira Miller, one of Boss Wykoff’s big shots. Miller. In turn, told the grand jury that he had paid Lundeen SI,OOO to arrest Schrade in his place. Lundeen told the fury these charges were untrue, and was Indicted for perjury. His fianceet Ruth Vincent hired Ralph Harlingen to defend him and Harlingen has turned to Kirk for aid, Murray doubts that Lundeen Is innocent and was In no mood to help Harlingen until Ruth Vincent came to hie office to persuade him to change his mind. Smitten with Ruth, he agreed to take the case—and to prove to her that Lundeen is guilty of bribe-taking. He can’t understand why a woman such as Ruth Vincent appears to be should be engaged to a man like Liindeen. CHAPTER 6 Ralph Harlingen caned Friday morning to tell Murray Kirk that he had arranged a meeting with Benny Floyd, the plainclothes man who was on duty with Arnold Lundeen at the time of the Schrade arrest ”It’s at twelve o’clock noon In the Madison Square Garden arcade," he said apologetically. “I know It's short notice, but Floyd wasn’t keen about going through with this in the first place, and 1 didn’t want to give him time to change his mind.” "That’s all right Did he have anything Interesting to say when you talked to him?” "No. Oh, when I said something about getting in touch with Lundeen so that he could come along with us Floyd made quite a fuss. I Imagine that he feels the best policy is not to be seen publicly with Lundeen right now.” “You can’t blame him for that,” Murray said. "All right, I’ll see you at twelve.” • • • It was a fifteen-minute walk cross-town to. the Garden. When Murray entered the arcade he found Harlingen and Floyd already there, coat collars up against the dankness of the place, feet stamping against the numbing chill of the concrete floor. Floyd turned out to be one of that; new breed of policemen, the kind who look too young and callow to be carrying a badge. He was a tall, skinny boy with pale eyes, and with a habit of now and then suddenly shooting out his jaw. Not a bad witness, Murray reflected, if he could face crossexamination without tripping over his tongue. _ Harlingen made the introductions, and the three % of them moved out to the street. "I’ll lay it on the line for you," Murray said to Floyd. "Schrade was arrested six months ago, so naturally you won’t be able to remember everything about it That means that LoScalzo can really put you through the grinder when you testify. You know.

When someone 'whom you have just met says. "I am so glad to have met you,” isn’t a smile in acknowledgment sufficient? A. No; this would seem to have a condescending air about it. It is much better to accompany the smile with a “thank you.” Q. When a man js in the elevator of an office building, and a woman acquaintance enters should

You must have testified before.” “I never testified for the defense,” Floyd said unhappily. "It comes to the same thing. Just sound as if you know what you’re talking about, and don’t get rattled. That’a why 1 want to run through this thing now, so that you'll have it all straight in your mind.” Murray pulled out the transcript of Arnold Lundeen’s tape and studied it briefly. “First of all, when you and Lundeen were around here that day how were you working things ?” “Well, we were heading downtown. He was over here, and I was across the street. We were keeping each other under surveillance.” "All right Now, how does Mr. Harlingen here compare to Lundeen in height?” Floyd eyed Harlingen up and down. "About the same, I guess.” “Then he'll be Lundeen, and you and I’ll cross over and keep him under surveillance.” They moved along like this for two blocks, Murray watching Harlingen’s pearl-gray fedora bob up and down over the roofs of the cars that filled the avenue. Then Floyd suddeiUy stopped, and Murray observed that Harlingen’s hat stopped simultaneously. “Now 1 went across the street, and we ate in that place right where Mr. Harlingen is standing,” Floyd said. ’That hot-dog joint,” ”W uld the guy who runs it know you?” Murray asked. Floyd looked doubtful. “He don’t even speak English.” “All right, let’s take a look.” They joined Harlingen in front of the stand, which was glassed in against the weather, its counter stained and dirty, its floor a litter of used paper cups and cigarette butts. “1 have an idea,’* Murray told Harlingen. “I don’t know if it’s worth anything, but it’s an idea. Anyhow, it’s cold enough for a cup of coffee." He led the way tn, and the three of them lined up at the counter. The man behind the counter was small arid swarthy, with a badly pockmarked face, but with the beautifully kept hair and the welltrimmed mustache of a dandy. Young, Murray estimated; about twenty-two or twenty-three. The thin, tired-looking girl who was his assistant was probably his wife. The coffee came in paper cups, a dollop of milk and sugar in each, a wooden paddle shaped like a tongue depressor laid on the counter beside the cup. When the counterman was qpposite him Murray smiled, and the man smiled back, a bright, meaningless smile., Murray leaned forward and pointed at Floyd, "Do you know this man ?” he asked in Spanish. The man’s smile remained as Ellin; reprinted by permission of the no iisUibuted by King Features Syndicate

he remove his hat? • A. He should lift his hat in greeting, but etiquette does not require that he remove his hat in a business elevator. Q. Does a person really have to give a reason for declining an invitation? A. This would seem much better than an abrupt “no.” If one were merely to say, “No, I can’t come,” it would indicate a lack of appreciation of the invitation, and even an unwillingness to continue the frTendship.

fixed, as bright, as meaningless) as ever. “1 know him,” he replied in kind. "He is of the police." "That is true. And he has a friend who is also of the police. Do you know that one, too?” "Yes, but what matter? He was no friend. A strange man. A very strange man.” "In what way ?" "Oh, that is something that would take a big brain to understand. For myself, I see him as a man as handsome and arrogant as a cock, but with no real happiness in him. That is a sort of sickness, is it not? It seems to me that sooner or later someone like that comes to trouble.” “Then it does not surprise you to, learn that he is in trouble now?" "It did not surprise me when I first heard it, and that was when he was removed from the police. It is the kind of thing idle people talk about while they are drinking their coffee here.” Murray nodded. “I see. And did you also know this Ira Miller?" "1 knew about him. He was an important man in this vicinity. Why not, when he was the one to whom the idlers gave all their money every day?” “There is another—George Wykoff—of even greater importance than Miller. Was he also spoken about here?" The man hesitated. “Who am I to say?” "You are a citizen. It is a matter of duty.” The man held up a hand against Murray’s protest, cutting it short. "Please, this not matter to me greatly, because, if God is good, my children will be a little more than I am, and my grandchildren will be everything I am not That is a good idea I think. Come back some time, and speak to my grandchildren in English, and perhaps they will understand this talk about citizens. It is something that must be said in English. Your people up here do not believe it can have a meaning in another language." Murray shook his head. “Your quarrel is not with ma” “My quarrel is with nobody. I will prove that by giving you more coffee. Yours is already cold. There is no charge for this; it la my pleasure.” "You are kind." Murray waited as the fresh coffee was put before him, a dark and bitter brew, and drank it slowly. Then he drew a card from his wallet and handed it to the man. “Now I ask a small favor." “Which is—?" "Which is to give anyone concerned with this affair of the policeman my address. And this,” he said, putting a flve-dollar bill on the counter where Harlingen could see it, "is for the children you spoke about. They will have a good father and grandfather, I think.” He "led the way out, the flxbd smile following him, he knew, t« the very door. f Continued Monday) vid's publisher. Random Houm;

Hartkes Entertain Hoosier Students By HORTENSE P. MYERS United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Martha Hartke is one U.S. wife who believes in paying off her political debts the hard way. The wife of the junior senator from Indiana offered to arrange sleeping accommodations in the Hartkes’ Falls Church, Va., home for 16 students from Wheeler, Ind., when a sorority sister of Mrs. Hartke who had helped Hartke’s successful campaign explained her predicament The friend, a school teacher at Wheeler, wanted to bring the honor students to visit the Washington area but the group had financial 'worries. So Mrs. Hartke invited them to stay at the senatorial home for the June 5 7 period during which they will be in Washington. Helped Hartke Win “Their teacher was my sorority sister in college,” said Mrs. Hartke when I interviewed her as I vacationed in Washington last week. ’’When Vance was running for senator, she wrote and offered to do anything she could to help. She was a political novice but when I told her we needed people to run for convention delegate, she became a candidate and was elected. Now I feel I. owe her this favor in return.” To Mrs. Hartke, 16 more young persons in a household that already includes five seems an easy hostess hurdle. “I think I’ll go to a surplus store and buy 16 Army cots,” she said. “The boys can sleep in the recreation room and we’ll scatter the girls around the bedrooms.” All the Hartke children have adjusted easily to the switch in homes from Evansville to the nation’s capital. The family lives in a new ranch-type home with a floor plan much. like their old home in Indiana. But one thing the older children couldn't comprehend was the lack of basketball in the Virginia school life, and they have done their bit to give a Hoosier touch to the schools they attend. Jan, 13, and Wayne, 11, each take their basketballs to school with them so their classmates may practice shooting on outdoor goals before school and at recess. Poor Basetball Players The boys were distrubed to learn that their favorite sport wasn't part of grade school life as it is in Indiana. Jan watched a group of freshmen who were just' learning to dribble and told his mother with disgust: “Why, we learned that in the third grade!” » Once Wayne yelled at a fellow player during a playground bas-
