Single copies, 6 cents. _ The Primary The 1959 Democratic primary climaxed two months’ hard campaigning by the three candidates for mayor. It had a different meaning for each of the three candidates. For Robert D. Cole, it meant that the majority of the Democrats approved his program for the past three years: a lower civil city tax rate, better garbage and trash collections, well-kept streets and alleys, and an efficiently managed youth center. Cole received a clear majority over his two opponents, and more votes than he received in 1955. For Adrian T. Wemhoff it meant a moral victory. t Wemhoff, who nad never previously been active in politics, came out without the, active backing of any precinct workers. He explained his stand on public issues, and stopd by them. He received more votes than either of the defeated Democratic candidates in the 1955 election. He made many friends in his house-to-house campaign. Everyone hopes that he will remain active in the Democratic party. Mrs. Mary K. Morgan was also a political newcomer, Without a strong political family background. She campaigned hard, but realized from the start that her chances were very slim. Instead of dispairing, she tackled the problem with a house-to-house campaign, and undoubtedly brought out the possibility that a woman could be mayor in Decatur. She was the first woman to ever try for the Democratic nomination l 0 . here. Now that the primary is over, the serious job of healing the party wounds begins. It is always a hard job to campaign for a man whom you opposed in the - primary-—few -persons are big- enough to do it. It hap- — pened in 1955, however, and will undoubtedly happen this year. •.* • • Fishing Weather At least two parties of fishermen "attended” opening exercises in north-easterh Indiana last weekend when the trout season officially opened. The Decatur groups vied against one another, we understand, for top honors, but, as usual, that led by veteran fisherman Leo N. Seltenright won the day—in fact the other group didn’t even catch a trout. We won’t embarass any of the well-known Decatur and suburbanites who were in that party by mentioning their names! "

Chinese Reds Squash Hopes Os Free Tibet TOKYO (UPI) — Communist China ended today any Tibetan hope of independence or even self-government within the Communist empire. It predicted total communization once the Tibetan rebellion has ended. Peiping admitted the anti-Com-munist uprising had spread to three mainland provinces stretching almost to Inner Mongolia but said “in the main” the rebellion has been quashed. An official Red Chinese assessment of the Tibetan situation, a 12,000-word editorial in the official Peiping’s Peoples Daily, was broadcast today by Peiping Radio. It gave Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India a dressing down for his statements on Tibet. It proclaimed total Communist authority over the Himalayan kingdom ruled for centuries by a DaldhLama. It warned that “no interference by an foreign country or by. the United Nations under whatever pretext or in whatever form will, be tolerated.” The Peoples Daily said “armed rebellion” occurred in the Tibet-an-inhabited areas of Szechwan, Kansu and Tsinghai provinces and said these rebellions were “directed and instigated precisely by the reactionaries in Tibet.” These three provinces cover nearly one-third of the entire area of the mainland. Together with vast Sinkiang, the sparsely populatd wstrnmost rgion of China where other anti-Communist flare- ; ups have been reported, they make up half of China's area. Szechwan and Tsinghai border Tibet; Kansu is farther north, touching on Inner Mongolia.

Slightly Injured In Auto Accident A Geneva resident escaped serious injury Monday evening about 8 o’clock when the vehicle he was driving left the roadway on county road 20, one mile south of Berne, and struck a converted school house. According to the Adams county sheriff’s department, a car driven by Keith McCollum, 32, Geneva, struck the home of Jesse Yoder, of route two, Berne, after leaving the roadway, driving through a fence, and travelling about 43 yards before coming to rest against the Yoder house. A passerby took McCollum to a doctor’s office in Berne where he was treated for a deep laceration to his chin and released. McCollum stated to the investigating officer that while headed westbound on county road 20, the vehicle started to act as if something was wrong with the steering mechanism. Damage to the McCollum auto was estimated at $250, and dam-, age to the fence was listed at $25. Only minor damage was reported done to the Yoder house. The Yoder home is located one mile south of state road 118 near the intersection of county road 20 and the Tile Mill road, in Wabash township.
