Perhaps its new-looking front beguiled us—-the shop is still at the same location, 228 North Second street. It was established there a year ago by Mrs. Margaret Brecht, wife of jeweler John Brecht. • • * • Still Alive at 75 . Today former president Harry S. Truman celebrates his . 75th birthday. President Truman was much vilified by the press while he was in office. He did not let this daunt him. Instead, he stuck steadfastly by what he believed was right. Historians generally agre ethat history will record him with much more regard than the press gave him during his almost two terms of office. Few people remember his courageous efforts to set up the United Nations, and to keep the free world alive by buttressing it with the Marshall Plan. His point 4 plan, to develop skills and knowhow among the newly freed nations of Asia and Africa, brought a promise of freedom beyond man’s imagining. His containment policy has stood firth since it was created shortly after the Second World War. Truman held our country together during a period in which it was fairly bursting at its seams to expand without thought or conscience. He did a fine job. During his term of office he was able to keep the interest rates low, protecting the poor man’s capital. He favored income taxes which gave every advantage to the little man. Today the nation joins its former president in celebrating the birthday of a great man, and wishes him many, many more happy birthdays.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED Arnold Lundeen, a plainclothes police officer in the New York Police Department, has been charged by the District Attorney with accepting a 81.000 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 co 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 Drove that Lundeen Is really guilty, that Harlingen Is a • sentimental tool and that Ruth is mistaken in her choice of • ’uture husband. Murray, and Harlingen have rounded up Benny Floyd, a policeman who was patrollng the beat with Lundeen at the time of the Schrade arrest, and have learned from him that Lundeen made regular visits covertly to a married woman. Helene, CHAPTER 8 NOT ONLY were all the Harllngens gathered in the living room, Murray. Kirk discovered, but Ruth Vincent was there as well. She sat straight-backed in her chair, pale and beautiful and remote, and the sight of her hit him like a finger driven hard 4. into his diaphragm. As Ralph Harlingen made hostly small talk, putting everyone on a first-name basis, Murray watched her, seeing the color tinge her cheeks, the small pulse flicker at the hollow of her throat, knowing that evert in his waking dreams she had never been lovelier than thia When she suddenly turned her face away from him he realized that he had been unabashedly staring, and didn’t care. Let her know, he thought. Let her pile the furniture of her conscience against the door and think she was safely barricaded behind it. He had enough on Arnold Lundeen already to blow apart her tie to the man whenever the time was right. Dinah Harlingen said brightly: "Ruth's been rehearsing Megan for a little play they’re going to do at school. One of those old moralities about Goodman Willing and Goodwife Ready, and so quaint and charming. Isn’t it, dearl” Her daughter plopped down on a hassock, locked her hands over her head, and said to a sepulchral voice. "No, why does something have to be good just because it’s old ? When Grandfather talks like that he’s so stuffy. But everybody else talks like that, and it’s terribly heroic and adult. You listen sometime, and see for yourself. 1 * "But it is perfectly charming," said Dinah Harlingen nervously. “At least, what I heard of it, The background music is an done on a single woodwind recorder, too. So medieval. Who is that little boy who plays it, Megan t £ig looks like a miniature faun."

COURT HEWS Marriage Application Dolly Mae Wetzel, 41, Marion, 0., and Fred W. Brown, 53, Whorton, O. Complaint Cases On a motion by the plaintiff, the case of American Radiator & Standard Sanitary Corp., vs Jack Hasinbiller, was set for issues May 22 at 10 a. m. In the case of Embrey Tomato company vs Otho Lobenstein, the demurrer to the cross complaint filed by the defendant March 13, was taken under the advisement by the Adams circuit court. The parties were granted 10 days in which to file a brief. Criminal Case Severin H. Schurger, prosecuting attorney of the 26th judicial court, withdrew his request for a trial by jur yin the case of the state of Indiana vs William Scott Haley. Estate Cases The last will and testament of James R. Cowan was offered for probate. A bond was filed in the penal sum of $15,000. Letters testamentary were ordered issued to Harriet E. Cowan.
"That’s William Hollister Three,” said Megan. “And he’s a total neurotic.” “He is not,” said Ruth. "And I wish you and everyone else in the Thespians would stop calling him Three, Megan.” “If he doesn’t want people to call him that he should stop putting it down on all his papers,” Megan said. "He’s going to be a total neurotic, too. He- said so himself.” “You know, Ruth," Dinah Harlingen said, "perhaps this play wasn’t the wisest choice after all. If the children—” Harlingen stood up abruptly. “Drinks, anyone? Ruth? Murray? No, well I suppose it is pretty early to start lubricating. So If you’ll excuse us now, Murray and I have important things to talk over. We won’t be long.” Behind the closed door of his study he said to Murray: "I wish Dinah wouldn’t interfere like that Ruth's got her hands full with that gang of demons ar it is. and don't think every word said here won’t get back to them. Not that 1 entirely disagree with Dinah, mind you. Giving those kids preElizabethan drama is sheer waste. Tennessee Williams is their speed.” He sat down, found a pencil, and toyed with it while they talked. He asked: “Well, did you have any luck with bur friend Helene? Did she have anything to do with Miller?” "No. Nothing at aH,” Murray said. "Are you sure? I could have sworn—” “Dead sure. Her business was strictly with Lundeen." "How do we know she isn’t keeping Miller her secret? Just talking to her wouldn’t settle the matter, would it?" “It would in this case. You’ll have to take my word for it that she wasn’t Miller’s motive, that he didn’t frame Lundeen out of jealousy, or anything like that” "Well, exactly what did you find out from her?” Murray smiled. ‘Til have to pass on that one. Any information not related to the case is for Lundeen alone. It’ll be in the file, waiting for him.” “Yes,” said Harlingen, "I can’t argue with that.” He tossed the pencil on the desk, then watched dispiritedly as it rolled off to the floor. “I don’t know. 1 just don’t know. Is there any chance that the time he spent with that woman might be overlooked during the trial?" “There’s a chance, but t wouldn’t bet on it” •< she does testify,” said Harlingen, "can you see what it means? An officer on duty taking time off to see a married woman on the Q.T. ? It means that no matter what happens at the

trial Lundeen and Benny Floyd will have to go before the commissioner afterward for dereliction of duty. That’s what Floyd’s been terrified about” "Too bad about him," Murray said. “He should have thought of that before he started to cover up for Lundeen. He and Lundeen both turn my stomach. But your job is to defend Lundeen in court, not to hold his hand and tell him what an unfortunate case he is.” "Yes,” Harlingen said thoughtfully, “I know what you mean. That’s been your attitude from the start, hasn't It, Murray?” ’Tve never made any secret of it I took the case with that understanding. Why?" Murray asked flatly. “Do you have any objections? Is this where I get off?" "No, Ruth’s told me all about your talk with her. About your attitude toward the case.” "All I want to know,” said Murray, "is whether you have faith in Lundeen even after finding out about this woman and the way he tried to cover up about her.” "He was doing that for Ruth’s sake. He’s the kind to risk a jail sentence, rather than allow an affair with a passing tramp to become public property." "You think so?” Murray said. Harlingen said angrily: “Do you want to drop the case?" “No, not as. long as Tm wanted.” "AB right then. Let’s get down to facts and quit theorizing.” Harlingen leaned back in his chair. "Now, about this Helene, 1 don't know. What I’d like to do is let it go for the time being. Maybe Lundeen will come to me about it himself; maybe something’ll turn up . that’ll help us get around it Meanwhile, we’ll roll It up and put it on the shelf.” “What about Floyd?” Murray asked. “Won’t he be talking to Lundeen about it?” "Well, I told him not to discuss it with anybody until I spoke to you. I’ll call him up tonight and make sure he keeps mum even with Lundeen.” "That’s sound policy," Murray said. "As far as tay end goes. I’m getting together with my investigators, Strauss and Manfredi, first thing Monday. Manfredi hasn’t gotten anything worth while on Millet so far, but he’ll be working on him over the week end, and that’s a good time for tilings to happen. I’ll keep in touch with you, anyhow." "And that about ties It up, doesn’t it?” Harlingen said. "Now, how about that drink I owe you ? Say, if you don’t have to rush away—” ‘Til take a rain check <m that," Murray said. “Got an important appointment with genius fCoattotued Tomorrow/
Swimming Youth Killed By Shark
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) - A “huge grey shape” swirled through the water near the Golden Gate Bridge Thursday and killed an 18-year-old college student swimming just 40 yards offshore. Albert Kogler, a student at San Francisco State College, was pulled from the water barely alive by a daring girl who ignored his screams of warning. But Kogler, on arm hanging only by a tendon and his back and chest slashed to ribbons, died three hours later despite emerency surgery. Local authorites were sure the killer was a great white shark, very rare in the chilly bay area waters. The girl, who swam ashore and then returned to help Kogler, was Shirley O'Neill, also 18 and a student at the same college. Describes Attack Army M.Sgt. Leo Day, who witnessed the rescue said, “It was the greatest exhibition of courage I have ever seen, or am likely to see in my whole life.” Before being placed under sedatives Shirley sobbed out her story of the sudden attack. She said she and Kpgler were swimming at Bakers Beach, about two miles west of the Golden Gate Bridge “when a huge gray shape swirled,out of the water.” "I heard Albert scream, ‘Go back, go back, it’s a shark!’ Then blood gushed in the water.” As she headed for shore, Miss O’Neill said she saw the shark’s tail whip across the surface of the water several times as it repeatledly struck the screaming youth. Brings Him Back The attractive student said she had just about reached shore when she heard Kogler cry, “Help the!” She ran from the water to Joe Intersonine, a fireman fishing nearby. He tied a fishing line about her waist and she plunged back into the surf. In a hesitant voice she said that upon reaching Kogler, “one arm seemed to be hanging by a thread.” “I grabbed him around his back, but it was all bloody and I could see his insides," she said. “He kept screaming and yelling so I finally told him to lie on his back and relax. “He did that, though the pain must have been awful, and if he hadn’t I would have never been able to get him back,” she said. Surgery Fails Meanwhile other spectators had called, police. Patrolman Harry. Paretchen, first on the scene, realized no ambulance could travel on the sandy beach. “I saw a Coast Guard boat off the beach,” he said. “I fired three shots, then waved my arms for them to send a helicopter or a truck.” A short time later, a Cost Guard weapons carrier rolled onto the beach. Kogler was placed or> the bed of die truck and rushed to nearby Letterman Army Hospital. Doctors performed emergency surgery, but the shock and the loss of blood were too much for the youth, who died shortly after the operation.
