All Fouled Up , w Friday morning as Albert Cook, diesel plant engineer, finished his inspection of the huge 12-cyUnder generator about 10:30 a.m., the No. 8 cylinder, near the east end of the motor, began to smoke, overheated, and caught fire. This knocked out the diesel. Cook immediately tried to turn on the standby power from the steam plant bank of controls—the steam turbine of course is still out of order, but the Indiana-Michigan transformer brings in power for the city through the control bank. ■■ ***** ' *•""'’*■••■■l Unfortunately, something was wrong with the control switch, and the power could not be turned on. Once before when a piston crown cracked, and the generator caught fire, the diesel crew was able to turn on the steam-generated power, run the diesel generator, and blow out the fire. But Friday we were not that lucky. The fire burned in the cylinder for 45 minutes or so, scorching off the outside paint, and heating the generator at that point so that no one could approach it within 10 or 15 feet. Damage to it and the control bank will not be known until late this morning. Fortunately, Mayor Cole and the city council had been foresighted enough to request a stand-by portable transformer from I&M. This was connected, but meanwhile a line had failed at the steam plant, and a jumpline to the stand-by generator had to be constructed. Within about 45 minutes most of the lines were back in operation. So Decatur now has its 5,000 KW steam generator and its 5,000 KW diesel generator out of commission. It is generating only 2,000 KW on an ancient steam generator at the steam plant. It is purchasing about 4,000-4,500 KW through the regular I&M transformer, and 2,0002,500 through the stand-by portable. U— All this power is being bought into town over the single line, which will be used until a substation is built. If that line goes out, or there is trouble with the 2,000 KW generator, we are in serious trouble.

NOTESFROM AFTER THIRTY By JACK HELLER BANG Heard around town this week—A fellow was having a bad day, and said, “if anything else goes wrong today,’l think I’ll blow my brains 1 out. He was answered by a friend, "all it’d take is a B-B gun.” Some folks are without any sympathy at all. _ 30 INDIANA, THAT IS Got an interesting letter from Miss Arta Lenhart this week. Miss Lenhart is a missionary in Chicago. Not in the theological sense, but in the Chamber of Commerce sense. She says that when she first moved to the village on Lake Michigan, about 40% of her mail was sent to Decatur, Illinois, even though she had written out Indiana. It made her a little peeved to think that nobody seemed to take much interest in her home town. She solved the problem though. Now, every, letter she sends back to THE Decatur, she circle the name Indiana with a red pencil. She also sends in many contributions to the Chicago Tribune, and is very insistent that they include Indiana after the Decatur. It’s a sure thing that at least the people in the post office department in Chicago recognize that there is a Decatur, Indiana. OUT INTO THE WORLD Millions of young people are in the process of graduation now, from all sorts and sizes of schools. Thousands of speakers will extoll the virtues of the life ahead in as many ways as possible. Our candidate for the best graduation speaker would be an eccentric gentleman by the name of Beethoven. He wouldn’t be able to make it in person, but his music could say it for him. Beethoven once said, “I will not give in. I will seize fate by the throat, and beat him.” This was from a man who was laughed at and mocked by most people during his life. Few people have had more strikes against them than he did, when as a young man, he dedicated his life to music. Yet, he did just what he said he would do.. The thousands who mocked him are only serving to enrich the soil around Vienna — Beethoven continues to enrich the lives ‘of people around the world. He who laughs last, etc.

HELLO DOWN THERE Carl Braun, local New York Life insurance agent, decided to do a little spring cleaning this week, and started with the cistern. He climbed down into the cistern by means of a ladder, and then had his wife pull the ladder out so he would have ’ more room to maneuver. Earl worked away, - and his wife went back in the house—and then forgot all about the location of her husband. Mr. Braun spent quite a while hollering; to no avail. Next he tried waving the broom; still no luck. Mrs. Braun finally remembered ,and hurried out to the rescue. At least the cistern should be good and clean. PERMANENT POSTS Next time you have occasion to go into Bowers’ hardware, notice the heavy iron posts down the middle of the store. They are imprinted "Eagle Mfg. Co.” Decatur, Indiana. Years agq, the Eagle Foundry was located on North Eighth street. The company must have made pretty good stuff. Mr. Bowers pointed out that a lot of man-hole covers and sewer grates around still bear their brand, too. Maybe they made them so good that there weren’t any customers left. At lesst the products have

Seems that if a person has a flair for making people laugh, and uses it, he’s liable to get arrested and sent in for observation. It's a shame when someone comes along and decides to take a hig bite out of life, instead of nibbling around the edges, and can entertain millions of others at the same time, that convention dictates that he must be crazy because he doesn’t live the same dull life that the majority of people do. - BUSIEST BABYSITTER Roy Kalver and the staff at the Adams Theater were the busiest babysitters in town last weekend, and probably will be again this Saturday and Sunday.

CHAPTER 14 MURRAY KIRK had completely forgotten his good intentions of clearing up office detail on Friday, but his secretary, Mrs. Knapp, had not No sooner had he taken off his. hat and coat than she appeared, tight-lipped and fOT-bldding, a grim priestess bearing votive offerings to the gods of efficiency. In her arms was the basket of unanswered mail, unsigned contracts, and unread reports. Close in tier wake came Gene Rigaud, drafted from his labors on the executive files to transport the Dictaphone machine. “And,” stated Mrs. Knapp before departing, "there isn’t one single appointment on your pad for the whole day. 1 told Miss Whiteside to make sure of that” Faced with the inescapable, Murray went to work, but by noon found himself struggling futilely against a mounting restlessness. Finally he went to the window to watch the crowds in the street below. They didn’t offer much of a spectacle—the bleak gray of the sky made everything in sight seem lackluster—but they were certainly better to look at than the tedious litter of papers on his desk. The trouble was, he reflected, that the Conmy-Kirk agency was now past the point where it could be handled as a one-tnan operation. Os course, much of that was his own doing. Once he had understood the depth of Frank Conmy’s lonely need for

him —Bruno Manfredi had opened his eyes to it one day when he told Murray that it was like money in the bank—he had argued endlessly and vehemently in favor of expanding the agency to the absolute limit. Did it make any difference that there had been more to the argument than an interest in piling up money for Frank? That he knew Frank would have to lean more and more heavily on him as the agency expanded, until a full partnership was inevitable? Not at aIL It had been fair exchange, and Frank would have been the first to say sq. Ab a matter of fact, what he needed now was someone to walk in and serve him as lieutenant half as well as he had served Frank in his time. But where could you find that someone? Bruno was the likeliest candidate, but he was a little out of order now and then. Gene Rigaud, young, smart, and hungry—he could be another Murray Kirk tn the making—was already too close to Bruno. Burke, the retired police captain who was running the payroll-guard service in fine style, seemed to be too close to haX the cope in the city, and

4,000 enthusiastic youngsters for his hairy episode last week, and are looking for about the same number this week. Anyone know of a good child psychologist? Or maybe after this week, Mr. Kalver will need a psychiatrist. RUN, BOY, RUN 1 Mr. and Mrs. John Doan got quite a thrill recently when they heard of the achievements of their grandson, Tom Steury, in Amherst, Ohio. The young man, a freshman in high school, had been used during the track season as a pacer for the senior miler on the team. Tom had done a pretty fair job, too. so when the time came for Amherst's entries in the mile at the conference track meet, the coach entered Tom and the senior. Again, Tom started to pace the senior, but this time, he outpaced him. In fact, he outran the whole field of 14 runners, and came in first only .9 of a second off the conference record. That’s pretty fancy running for anybody, and he’s got three more seasons to improve. Tom’s uncle, Bob Doan, used to run a pretty fair mile for Decatur high school—it must run in the family.

[was also a little bit too hard- 1 boiled and smart for his own r good. i Murray smiled at the thought 1 of someone like Ralph Harlingen taking the job. At four-thirty, when he waa near the bottom of the pile of papers on Ips desk. Miss Whiteside came tn to announce that « someone wanted to see him right < away. “I know Mrs. Knapp said you weren’t to be bothered today," she said worriedly—she had j a wary regard for Mrs. Knapp's ] Injunctions—"but this seems aw- l fully important. It’s somebody , from the District Attorney’s of- ] flee. He says his name is Myron : Kramer.” It took Murray a moment to , recall the name. Then he realized J that his caller was Felix LoScalzo’s leg man, and found himself not at all disturbed by the realization. If anything, what he ; felt for LoScalzo—and he was willing to extend the feeling to 1 LoScalzo’s representative—was a 1 pleasant kinship. For the time : being, he was one of them. They 1 were all professionals together; ’ they spoke the same Language;

and, most intriguing to contemplate, they were gunning for the same bird, each in his own way. That was the case in a nutshell, although it was hardly LoScalzo’s business tn know it. Kramer was tall and slim, with blazing red hair and a host of freckles on his youthful face. He looked eighteen, and was probably about twenty-eight. Nowadays, Murray knew, every district attorney's office, every United States Attorney’s office in the city, was loaded with this kind of underling. Young Harlingeas all, they had no soft berth with the old man waiting for them. So they piled into prosecutors’ offices where they could fetch and

In the end, they made good lawyers who knew their way around a courtroom as well as a contract. Kramer, with his youthfully earnest face and shrewd eyes, seemed to be a superior example of the type. He also proved to be a young man who did not waste worda Mr. LoScalzo, he said 'briefly, would be out of court in a few minutes, and looked forward to seeing Mr. Kirk in his office when he got back there. It was important that they have a little talk. “About what?" asked Murray. „ "Articles 54 and 70, I think," Kramer blandly replied. Article 70 was that old pitfail for inept private detectives, disorderly conduct, but Article 54 was something else again. “Disorderly conduct and eonepiracy," I ‘

20 Years Ago Today o • ' ■' 0 May 16, 1939—Mrs. Ralph Yager, Decatur, was elected president of the Adams county Indiana University alumni society, succeeding G. Remy Bierly. Other new officers are Hansel Foley, Kirkland township principal, vice president, and Miss Louise Haubold, Decatur, se-cretary-treasurer. The state highway commission has awarded the contract for paving U.S. 224 from Magley to state road 1 to N. B. Putnman, Co., Fort Wayne, on a bld of SIBB,009.12. Three Grafton, 111., men escaped injury in a freak accident here when brakes on their car failed and the vehicle careened onto the porch of a residence at Nuttman Ave. and Fifth street. The Lose restaurant and cigar store are being redecorated with new paper and other trimmings.

Murray said. “You sure there’s notfepg else on the agenda? SepulCTte? Barratry? Dueling? Nothing really fancy?” Kramer smiled. "I wouldn’t know,” he said. "After all, I’m just the guy who empties ashtrays around the place." -~=- .. I’B bet you are, Murray thought as he reached for his hat, you cute little cobra. • • • \ LoScalzo was a big man. Big in height, big in girth, his huge head surmounted by a shock of unkempt white hair, he sat there peeling an apple with a paring knife which circled the fruit in a smooth, continuous motion. The peel, coiling into a plate on the desk, looked as if it were being run out of a machine. Murray turned his attention to the rest of the room, and found that the one object of interest was a glass jar nearly full of water, and with what appeared to be some shapeless wads of black gum pressed against its inside wall. * Without looking up from the apple LoScalzo jerked his head toward the jar. “Know what they are?" They were the first words he had spoken since Murray had been ushered in and left there with him. They had been a long time coming. i "No,” Murray said, “I don’t LoScalzo put down the knife and apple and heaved himself out of his chair. He went to the jar, and, using a pair of sugar tongs that had been lying next to it, he carefully lifted one of the blobs

from the water. "Bloodsuckers," he said affectionately. “Or, if you're fussy, leeches. Couple of months ago some of the boys raided a barbershop on the Bowery that was peddling rotgut tn the back room, and they brought back these little jokers along with the evidence. Some of the barbers down there still use them for black eyes. Just plant them on the swelling and they’re supposed to do a fine job ot bringing ft down. Ever see one close up?" He thrust the tongs near Murray’s face, and the slimy thing they gripped writhed in a slow, blind motion of protest. Murray felt his gorge rising, Uk forced himself to sit rigid and unblinking. It was not easy. He had always had a revulsion for crawling things, and this one was Uke some monstrosity dredged up troa his blackest nightmares. “ta that instant Murray's complacent sense at Unship vanished in an explosion of blind rage . . ."
