John F. Kennedy, Democratic contender for the nomination for the presidency in 1960, wrote the following last Thursday to Decaturites: “It was my pleasure to visit Decatur earlier this month to participate in the Jefferson-Jacksdn Day festivities . . . . My only regret is that our stay was of such short duration and I look forward to having another opportunity to revisit with all my newly-found friends.” Another interesting item in the presidential race: Basil Brewer, one of the more influential members of the East Coast’s Republican hierarchy, told reporters in a Palm Springs, Calif., interview that he plans to support Kennedy for the Democratic nomination and election. Brewer predicates his new resolve on his unabashedly low regard for the presidential attributes of VicePresident Richard Nixon. “I’d like to think he (Nixon) is the right man, but I’m having trouble,” Brewer stated. “I would challenge his wisdom and tact.” Brewer opposed Nixon’s meddling in integration for political purposes. , He favors education rather than Nixon’s court and legislation plan of solving segregation. Brewer, a conservative, opposes Rockefeller as too liberal. He was a great supporter of Sen. Robert E. Taft for the presidency. The New Bedford, Mass., Standafd-Times mailed out a number of the. interviews from their newspaper, which is published by Brewer; Brewer also supported Kennedy in his successful race against Henry Cabot Lodge in 1952. , The Democratic convention is still, a long way off. State leaders seem to prefer Sen. Symington at the present time, despite the poor showing he made at the Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner. One thing is certain—most Hoosiers oppose the renomination of Adlai Stevenson, which is mentioned more and more frequently.

Heat Records Set In Stale Over Weekend United Press International One of the hottest early-May weekends in Indiana weather history sent thousands of Hoosiers in shorts and swim suits to recreation areas and temperatures into the 90s. The mercury hit 92 in the Louisville area and 90 in Evansville and the Cincinnati area Saturday, and 93 in the Louisville area Sunday, setting all-time records for the dates and catching most Hoosiers with their window ‘screens down. State parks were crowded with families seeking relief from the heat. With many trees still in leaf bud stage, the sight of visitors in midsummer attire was a strange contrast to dogwood and redbud blossoms. Some park visitors, finding swimming pools still a month from opening dates, splash ed in small streams to cool off. The “heat wave” was far from ended. Forecasts called for highs from 85 to 90 today and Tuesday, continued warm Wednesday and possibly abovenormal every day this week. The fiveday outlook indicated temperatures will average 5 to 10 degrees above normal highs of 65 to 75 and normal lows of 45 to 52. 2 Drownings Occur Two weekend drowning s occurred in Hoosierland, raising to three the number of water deaths in the last three days. In addition, heavy, traffic prompted by the weather may have accounted for some ot eight traffic fatalities recorded in the state “during the weekend. Vernon Howard, 10, Gary, drowned in Little Calumet River at Gary when he slipped in the water as he and a companion sat in 89 degree temperatures wearing swimming trunks. Gary’s 89 high snapped an old record of 87 for May 2 and was the city’s hottest temperature since last Aug. 30. At Indianapolis, as 87 degree high Saturday broke all existing records for the date and came within - three degrees of reaching the warmest temperature re-

WHAT HAS HAPPENED Arnold Lundeen, a plainclothes police officer in the New York Police Department; haa been charged by the District Attorney with accepting a JI.OOO bribe to arrest Eddie Schrade. a “stand-in" tor Ira Miller, a bookmaker. Instead oi Miller; and with perjury for denying the bribe before a grand Jury. Lundeen's attorney, Ralph Harlingen, has persuaded private detective Murray Kirk to investigate the case. Murray's reluctance to harm his 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 in love with Ruth, the more eager he becomes to prove that Lundeen is really guilty, that Harlingen is a sentimental fool and that Ruth is mistaken in her choice of a future husband. Murray and Harlingen have located Banny Floyd, a policeman who was patrollng the beat with Lundeen at the time of the Schrade arrest, and the three are revisiting the area. When they stop at a hot-dog stand. Murray converses in Spanish with the counterman. . . . CHAPTER 7 OUTSIDE the hot-dog stand, Benny Floyd said to Murray Kirk: “I wish I could jabber Spanish like you." There was the light of professional interest in his eye. “The counterman was saying something about the numbers game, wasn't he? The bolita. What was that about?” “Nothing,” Murray said. “He told me he stays away from the rackets. I don't think he’s lying about it, either.” “Well, what did you find out?” Ralph Harlingen demanded. "I wasn't trying to find out anything from him," Murray said Impatiently. “Look, I want to get together. with Wykoff. There are questions about Miller’s operations, his pay-offs, things like that vjrhich Wykoff could clear up in no time. And the only way we’ll ever get together is for him to come to me. That’s what I want our friend in there to do—shake the grapevine a little and stir up some interest. Then we’ll see.” “I don’t know,” Harlingen said. “Wykoff’s been co-operating with the D.A.’s office since they nabbed him. Why would he take any interest tn Lundeen’s troubles?" “Because a man like Wykoff wants to know what cards everybody is holding. Meanwhile," Murray said to Floyd, “let’s get back to the arrest. What did you and Lundeen do after you ate? Keep moving downtown the same way ?” Floyd rubbed a hand slowly over his face, his brow furrowed with concentration. "Well, no,” he said at last. "Not exactly.” “What do you mean?” Harlingen asked. "Was Lundeen out of your sight for any length of time ?” “Well," Floyd said, “there’s a couple of hotels across the way, and I went over to check them." “How long was It before you got together again?” Murtay asked. “Twenty minutes?” “It could be. That's about what it was, I guess.” Harlingen looked aghast. “You mean that just before Lundeen arrested Schrade he was off someplace where you weren't even in touch with him!” “I knew where to get in touch with him if I had to.” “.Where?” Harlingen demanded.

“Why don’t you ask Arnie about it?" Floyd pleaded. “Why do I have to go talking about it?” “Because," said Harlingen, his voice heavy with sardonic emphasis, “you’ll have to go talking about it when you’re in the witness chair. Where was he for that twenty minutes?” “Ah!” said Floyd. "Any time we were around Forty-eighth Street he used to take off for one of those flea-bag boarding houses down the block here to see the dame who runs it. Helene some-thing-or-other. SJie’s nuts about Arnie. That’s all there was to it that day. Just another call on Helene.” “That’s all!” Harlingen said tn outrage. “When Miller might have an interest in that woman ? When he might be hitting at Lundeen out of plain jealousy? Why would you and Lundeen even try to keep anything as important as this hushed up?” Floyd said doggedly: “Because of Arnie's girl, that’s why! I know she’s straight-laced. How do you think she’d feel if she found out about Arnie’s seeing a married woman on the sly?” It wasn’t hard to understand Harlingen’s train of thought Lundeen had been caught holding out on him; Lundeen could not be completely trusted any more. Yet Lundeen had apparently acted out of chivalry; he was willing to martyr himself to keep Ruth Vinceht’s respect That was something Harlingen could appreciate and condone. But, to go a logical step further, what kind of man could claim Ruth Vincent and still play around behind her back ? Murray said abruptly: “There’s no use standing here like this. The smart thing to do is talk to this Helene. If she has anything to do with Miller it might come out that way." He turned to Floyd, who stood sullenly hunched into his coat, his hands thrust deep into his pockets, a sorry Judas wondering how he had come to this plight “Where do I find this dame?” "It’s that first brownstone down the block there, right after the warehouse." • • • The neon sign tn the window of the house flickered wildly: OOMS FOR ENT. it said. A man answered the doorbell, a gnomelike little man with a few strands of white hair combed across his head, a waxen pallor, and a pair »f enormous, fanlike ears. He squinted suspiciously at Murray. “You looking for a room?" he said. His voice was as thin and quavering as a note badly played on the E-string of a violin. "No, I’m looking for the owner. Is she to?” : ?. The man wheezed and coughed. From his expression the sounds Were probably intended to be a laugh. “You mean Helene, she’s been lying about it She's my wife, but I’m the owner. I'm the only owner Ground here. Every stick and stone here, it’s to my name.” “That’s fine,” Murray said, "but she’s the one I want Is she to?” "She’s in.” The man thumbed Murray inside, and carefully

closed the door behind him. Then he led the way along a dark corridor which reeked of cabbage and disinfectant to a kitchen at its far end. The kitchen was obviously the center of household life here. At the table in the middle of the room a woman was undergoing some process of beautification. She sat forward holding dripping-wet red hair over a bowl of murky fluid. “Now what?" she said, and peered through the tangle of hair at Murray. Then she slung the hair back to her shoulders and smiled up at him, a surprisingly young girl with wise, cat-green eyes and a childishly pretty face. “Hey,” she said, “you're cute.” The old man seemed indifferent to this. “See that?" he said to Murray, hefting the weight of hair. “Costs eight bucks to do to one of them beauty parlors. Costs me one buck if I do it for her right here. Takes a fool woman not to know how much seven bucks is worth in your pocket.” The girl looked coyly at Murray. “I’m really a natural redhead, but sometimes ft needs touching up, and he does it real good. But never mind him. You got any business here?” “I’ve got business,” Murray said. “I’m handling a law case for somebody named Arnold Lundeen. You know him?” “Know him! Are you kidding?" “No.” “Mister, Arnie’s my boy friend. As soon as daddy here kicks off he and I are getting married. You mean, you’re handling his case, and you don’t know that?” The flame of the match he was holding suddenly stung Murray’s fingers. He dropped the match, and then with great care ground it out under his heel. “No,” he said, "I don’t. But you can see why he didn't want to talk about you. I guess he’d do anything to keep you from getting involved to this mess.” The girl’s eyes shone. "That’s Arnie, an right Isn’t he the sweetest man thing you ever met up with? 1 even told him I’d stand right up tn court for him, but he said that; was O-U-T, cut” “You mean,” Murray said, “you’d be a witness tor him in court?” “Sure I would.

Steel Negotiations Will Open Tuesday NEW YORK (UPI) - Prospects of avoiding' a steel strike this year were far from rosy today on the eve of contract talks between the United Steelworkers of America and the steel companies. Both sides have taken firm stands on the matter of wages and have left no doubt they plan to stick by their guns. Negotiations on a new contract covering 500,000 steelworkers begin Tuesday in New York between the union and the individual companies. Later, four-man bargaining teams, representing union and management will take over. - The present three-year agreement, signed in 1956 after a fiveweek strike, expires at midnight on June 30. A strike by 500,000 steelworkers is in the offing if no agreement exists by that time. Emphasised Determination Industry leaders have said in recent weeks that no wage increase is justified this year and they have emphasized their determination to hold the line in 1959. “We are not kidding about our no wage increase policy this year,” a steel official said. “If the union thinks this is just prenegotiation propaganda, it is in for a shock when the barganing talks get underway.” Steel leaders say inflation must be stopped and the only way to do that is to hold the line cm employment costs. They note that if costs do not go up this year prices won’t go up. David J. McDonald, president of the USW, answers these arguments with one word: “Baloney.” Put Demands Together McDonald said his union has every intention of getting “a good share of the industry's fabulous profits." He said steel production it at a record high even though unemployment in the industry is high. That means increased productivity,” McDonald added. Last week McDonald and AFLCIO President George Meany told the union’s international Wage Policy Committee that the solution to unemployment and the answer to continued economic growth was an increase in purchasing power in the hands of the average consumer. The committee then put together the union’s bargaining demands which embodied some of the most ambitious proposals in the history of steel labor. The demands included higher wages, shorter hours ,of work and improvements in a long list of fringe benefits. Trade in a gooa town — Decatur.
