Around Town Best news of the month —The industrial development committee of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce, with the approval of the board of directors of the Chamber, is now sub-dividing the 32-acre industrial site. This land, it is understood, will be made available to several potential small industriesin Decatur row considering expansion and re-locatiori. The bank addition is now going up by leaps and bounds. Steel girders and brick masonry are completing the walls. The bank wall itself has been removed and altered for the new construction. The bank hopes to have its completely remodeled building ready by late fall The Blackstone and Margaret’s Beauty Hall have moved into new locations on North Second street. It is understood that the building which formerly housed the Why Store has been sold. An announcement by the new owners as to its use is expected soon. Youth Fitness Next week parents and young people are urged to promote programs and activities demonstrating the importance of youth fitness to the end that the continuing strength and well-being of our people is assured. Other nations, of a more totalitarian nature, force the young people into rigid programs of physical betterment. Everyone recalls the Hitler youth movement, and the annual May Day photographs from Russia, with the great parade of sturdy, rigid boys and girls parroting the motions of their leaders. But here in the United States youth fitness begins at home. Parents teach their children how to play ball, tag, and other games, and allow them to take part in activities that build their minds and bodies simqltaneously. When the young people go to school, they are again allowed plenty of time for play and recreation. Each city/ including Decatur, sets aside recreational parks, community centers, swimming pools, and other athletic facilities for the use of the children. When suburban developments are built, they usually include park space. Streets in residential areas are no longer through streets, but are purely residential. May 3-9 has been set aside as National Youth Fitness Week. This is a good time. As school ends, young people will have plenty of spare time. Will it «be used constructively, in healthful pfty such as softball, baseball, swimming, bicycling, golf, boating, and fishing. Or will it be spent in organizing destructive fangs, hanging around in alleys, causing trouble? arents and friends lend the guidance necessary to channel young people into constructive rather than destructive fields. Let’s all back National Youth Fitness Week.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED I Arnold Lundeen, a plainclothes Kilice ofticer In the New York Police apartment, has been charged by U® District Attorney with accepting a SI,OOO bribe to arrest Eddie Schrade. a "stand-in” for Ira Miller, a bookmaker. instead of Miller; and with perjury for denying the bribe before a grand jury. Lundeen's lawyer. Ralph Harlingen, has persuaded private detective Murray Kirk to Investigate the case. Murray's reluctance to harm bls good relations with the police department quickly turns to eager Involvement when he meets Lundeen's fiancee, lovely Ruth Vincent The more deeply Murray falls tn love with Ruth, tne more eager ni becomes to provtt that Lundeen is really gui ty. that Harlingen is a sentimental fool and that Ruth is mistaken in her choice of a future husband. Murray and Harlingen have rcaaded up Benny Floyd, a policeman who was petroling the beat with Lundeen at the time of the Schrade arrest, and have learned from him "that Landi.cn made regular visits covertly to a married woman, Helene. CHAPTER 9 nynjRRAY KIRK Interrupted IVI Bruno Manfredi’s run-down on Ira Miller: "So far all that’s missing is the gray-haired mother and the faithful old dog. When do they come in?” "Will you let me do this my own way?’’ Bruno demanded. "Now listen. In September, 1933, Miller enrolled at New York University. Three months later they gave him the heave-ho right out of there.” "Why?” “For peddling examination papers. It all came out in the newspapers when Miller’s people sued for readmission. Think it’s worth aiything to Harlingen?" "I’ll leave that up to him. What happened to Miller after that?” “Well, we lose him for a couple of years, and then we pick him up doing office work for the Bindlow Resort Corporation. That’s the company that runs the Acres—you know, that billion-dollar hotel up in the Catskills.’’ "What’s Miller got to do with all this?" "Plenty. The guy who owns it is Daniel Bindlow, and he’s got no family of his own, but he’s got one niece, Pearl. In 1940 Miller hit the jackpot; he went and married this Pearl. She’s not much to look at maybe, and she's five, six years older than Miller. Anyhow, he played it for keeps. "Then in 1942 the army grabbed him. After that he went to work for Bindlow again, and here’s where it gets interesting. Bindlow was having all kinds of trouble running his place those years. The help was looking fur more pay, so he had a couple of strikes, and he also had basketball trouble.” “Basketball trouble?" “I thought that would interest you. You know how thoSe hotels hire college teams to play for them in the summer; it’s one of the biggest things up there. The kids are supposed to be waiters and bellhops and such, but they’re getting their dough to play ball, and everybody knows it Bindlow's trouble was that he couldn’t buy himself a winner. The customers wanted to bet on the home team,

Deer Killed By Auto In Town Os Monroe A small doe, weighing approximately 75 pounds, was killed , today when struck by a car in the town of Monroe about 7:30 a.m. The doe was one of two such animals attempting to cross U. S. 124 near the Pennsylvania railroad crossing. The driver of the auto, Louis Mattox, of Monroe, and manager of the Mattox Paint Shop, was unable to stop in time to avoid hitting the animal. Due to the alertness of a passerby, the animal was cut and hung, so the meat could be saved. Two conservation officers arrived at the scene of the mishap to conduct an investigation. They donated the deer meat to the Adams county home upon completion of the investigation.

but every time they did it they lost their shirts. So Bindlow dug himself up a guy who could take care of everything for him. The Labor trouble, the basketball trouble, everything in one nice package. A real little miracle worker. Who do you think?” "Miller,” said Murray. "Who else?” Bruno stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray before him and leaned back in his chair smilingly. "Guy name of George Wykoff,” he said gently, "that’s who else. Fix you up with the union, fix you up with a basketball team, fix you up with anything you want, if you can pay for it. Which Bindlow could.” "Where’d you learn all this?” Murray asked. "I got hold of a program for a game they had up there around that time, and Rigaud located one of the guys listed on IL I had a long talk with this guy for the price of a drink. It’s all written down there. He says you can use whatever you want of it, he don’t care. He says the way they got a winning team at the hotel was that Wykoff paid other teams to dump games to them now and then, but at the end of the season Wykoff ran off with most of the pay-off money. They all hated his guts.” "And what’s this got to do with Miller?" “Well, when Wykoff took off at the end of the season, Miller and his wife Pearl went along with him. That must have been the beginning of their tie-up. Then Miller showed up In New York making book on the West Side and using this Songster Company for a front. Songster is still in business, by the way. Miller sold it to a guy named Billings last summer, and I had quite a parley with this Billings. You know what kind of outfit it is?” "Theatrical agency?” Bruno waved a disdainful hand. "Nah, that’s way out of Billings’ class. This is a real sucker trap. What it claims to do is write words to music or music to words, whichever way the suckers want It They pay plenty for this; and In the long run they wind up with some copies of the song, and no harm done. When Miller ran the place, Schrade used to handle the song-writing angle for him." Murray reflected on that Even in choosing a front for an illegal operation, Miller was driven to choose something which was a swindle in itself. It was the kind of fine Instinct that would let him know exactly what cop to pay off, and how much to pay him, and how to have the cop take the rap when the time came. A very smooth fish swimming easily In very hot water, because that was his natural habitat. "What's he up to now?" asked Murray. “I mean, Miller." “He's back with Bindlow again. Mostly he’s In the New York office here, but when there’s a bfg holiday rush at the Acres he goes

The two conservation officers reported today that three such animals were sighted in a lumber yard in Monroe just a few days ago. The animal killed today is believed one of the three.

up there for a stretch. Kind of assistant manager.” Bruno lit another cigarette, and bent over the desk to study his report "Anyhow, let me fill in the details. "He and his wife live over on West End Avenue. There’s some kipd of nurse for Mrs. Miller, too; she was taken pretty bad around Thanksgiving. Miller works ten to five, takes a cab home about five-thirty, stays in mostly, and then goes for a walk with the dog around eleven." The picture of Miller that Bruno handed to Murray was that of a tall, well-built young man tn shorts standing before a tennis net, a sweater thrown casually over his shoulders, a pair of tennis rackets held under his arm. Bruno came around behind Murray’s shoulder to study the photograph with Interest. “Don’t look much like any bookie you ever met, does he?" he commented. "Looks more like he’s getting ready for the Olympic Games or something." Murray said: “You have to be an amateur for that. This one was born a professional." He tossed the picture on the desk. "Is that the works?” "That’s it* “Nothing about Lundeen? No reason why Miller might have wanted to frame him? No possible tie-up between them?” "What’s that mean?" Bruno protested. "You know I gave you everything I had. It’s all right down here.” “All I saw right down here," Murray said, “is a smart bookie who pays off the cops when he has to.” "Well,” said Bruno, "that’s the whole story, isn’t it ?’’ Murray smiled. “I know. I just wanted to hear you say it, that's all. It shows what a smart detective you are." "Smart enough to know when Tm being conned,” Bruno said coldly. “You want me to work on Miller any more?" “No, Schrade is next on the list Dig up what you can on him." “After I take a day oft I’m bushed. I don’t even remember what Lucy and the kids look like any more." Murray had been prepared for this. Lucy Manfredi wan a roundfaced, bustling woman who took a dim view of her husband’s vocation, and who regularly declared open rebellion against ft "No day off,” Murray said. “I’ll call up Lucy and explain things." Bruno agreed somberly. ‘lt wouldn’t hurt me to take a day off and show my face around the house anyhow." * ■■■ • “You'll be working on Schrade tomorrow," Murray said. “And on your way out tell Mrs. Knapp I want to see her." Bruno stopped at the door. "Sure, boss," he said unctuously. "That’s right boss. Yes, sir, boss. Anything else, boss?” “Yes,” Murray said. “Leave that Miller, report here.
