Seimetz The death of the spiritual pastor of 2,000 local 1 people brought sorrow to the hearts of the Adams county community Monday afternoon. The Very Reverend Monsignor Seimetz had been a part of Decatur’s life for 26 years. His serious stroke January 24, his illness and partial recovery, his heart attack last week, and general failure since, have been watched with great sorrow, feel- ; ing, and alarm by his many friends. The monsignor came from a religious family, his uncle having served as pastor here for many years before he himself was appointed. Religion was his whole life. His every conversation turned again to it. A year ago on January 27 the Decatur Catholic school system celebrated his 25th year of service to the local community. All the school children gathered in the halls, and made their presentations to him, bringing tears of joy to his eyes. Just three days short of a year later he suffered a severe stroke, and remained hospitalized at St. Joseph’s hospital until his death Monday at 3:45 p.m. The people of the community are invited to call at the Gillig and Doan Funeral Home tonight to pay their respects to their friend. Thursday, he will lie in state at the church which his devotion and courage helped build despite overwhelming financial difficulties. The building will be remembered by his many friends as a great monument to God, Mother Mary, and to its builder, Msgr. Seimetz. A well known and familiar figure t© everyone in Decatur, Msgr. Seimetz had been Grand Knight of the local council of the Knights of Columbus at Logansport while he was assistant pastor there from 1911 to 1920; since his arrival here he served as Faithful Friar for the Fourth Degree Knights. He was particularly close to the Arthur Voglewedes, Fred Bakers, and to Herman Geimer. He spent- many pleasant two-week summer vacations with Voglewede and Baker fishing, in Canada. A conservative man by nature, he left no doubt that religion came first with hint, and he was very active in training the lay personnel of his church in working to bring others to the Catholic Church. > One of the monsignor’s dreams, in addition to the building of a great, modern church here, and a dream that has not yet been realized, was the construction of a modern home for the devoted sisters who provide twelve years of education for the Catholic children of Adams county. Plans are still moving forward on this project. Invested by the papal chamberlain with the, title of monsignor on September 20, 1945, the V. Rev. Msgr. Seimetz was named the first dean of the Huntington deanery when it was created May 1, 1957. A truly religious man, he served his God, his Church, his Congregation, and his community, in a firm and righteous Christian manner.

CHAPTER 21 • I 'HE banquet department of the 1 St. Stephen had been busy that night. The lobby was crowded with people In evening clothes ready for departure, but delaying it, because what had been a picturesque snowfall tn Staten Island was an icy rain here, sluicing down savagely, daring them to come J out. So they stood in small clusters, be-minked and overcoatedr loudly repeating endless good-bys, complaining about the weather—you wait all year for the Affair, and look at the lousy weather! —and peering anxiously through the dripping glass of the revolving door to see if some passing cab had been lured up to the marquee. When Murray pushed his way through them they refused to give ground. One man said irately, "Hey, you!” and as Murray turned he knew what his own expression must be, because the man looked taken aback and weakly said, "Well, you ought to watch, mister,” more in apology than protest. On the other hand, Nelson, the assistant night clerk who ordinarily wore a professional air of distaste for the world at large, looked relieved to see him. “You've been getting calls pretty steadily all evening, Mr. Kirk. Nothing wrong, is there?” "No,” Murray said. He took the message slips Nelson handed him, and moved to the side of the desk to riffle through them. There must have been a dozen. Miss Vincent. Mrs. Knapp. Mr. Harlingen. Miss Vincent. • • * Ruth Vincent must have been within arm’s reach of her telephone when Murray called. "Man, I could kill you,” she said breath- ’• lessly. “Where . are you calling from? You’re not hurt, are you?” The query painfully reminded Murray of his bruised jaw and the place on his ribs where Billy Caxton’s shoe had found its mark. But as far as he was concerned, • Ruth’s breathlessness was all the ointment he needed. "Not a chance," he said. “What happened was that something came up suddenly, and I couldn’t even leave word for yoii. It’s quite a story.” “Well, it better be,” she told him with unihistakable relief. "Considering the fuss I kicked up around here, you’d .better make it an epic. I’ve been calling everybody. I even had Ralph dig up your secretary's home number, but she didn't know any more than I did.” Which explains the messages, Murray thought, glancing at the crumpled slip# of paper. ‘T’ve got something important on tap, all right.” he said. •‘Yes?** ■ u “It’s about Arnold, but I’d rather not discuss it over the phone. Can I get together with

you and Ralph Harlingen at your place now, or do you want to make it tomorrow?” "Make it now," Ruth said. "I’ll call Ralph and have him here. Is it good or bad?” "Jt’s hot good,” Murray said. • • • Ruth was waiting at the door when he arrived, and while he was hanging up his dripping hat and coat on an old-fashioned wall rack he observed that she was still dressed for an evening out, and that the shapeless woolen cardigan she had thrown on over her pale blue, brocaded sheath in no way lessened its effect on him. Ralph, she said, would be there soon. He had been up when she phoned him, because Dinah’s folks were in from Philadelphia, and they had been sitting around and talking at the Harlingens’. Dinah’s parents were Quakers, Ruth added gratuitously, as if under a nervous compulsion to make conversation, and really the most enchanting people. They worried all the time about the way Megan was being brought up, but Megan nad once told her that when she was with them la Philadelphia they spoiled her, worse than anybody. Trust Megan to know a good thing when she saw it. Ruth’s father came tramping up from the cellar during this recitative. In his slippers and robe, hiy few remaining hairs clipped close to the skull, and with a good humorous face and fine eyes, Vincent was the passable facsimile of a monk out of Balzac. He greeted Murray cordially, and explained that he had been down in the cellar to.checkpossible seepage there because of the rain. "If you want some fine fishing tomorrow,” he told Murray, “this is the place for it. We ll have the boats out.” "Tommy, you’re impossible,” Ruth said. “You promised Mother you'd have it fixed last summer, didn’t you?” "Did I ? Well, I’ll have to get her a life preserver, instead. You know,” he said to Murray, “Ruth’s been telling me a great deal about you, and I have a huncii I once knew your father. I can see a distinct resemblance when I look at you. Was his that store near the south gate on Broadway ?” "Yes.” "Isn’t that the blankety-blank-edest thing? I’m positive he’s the one. That was, oh, around twen-ty-five years ago, during the early part of the Depression. I, was on my fellowship then. I used to drop In for a sandwich and milk there, because it was the cheapest place in the neighborhood.” "He wasn't much of a businessman,” Murray said.

1,273 Out-Of-Area Workers On Farms INDIANAPOLIS (UK)—Nearly 1,300 out-of-area workers already are laboring in Indiana farm jobs, most of them setting and blocking tomato plants. The Indiana Employment Security Division reported in its first weekly farm labor bulletin that 1,273 out-of-area workers were on the job? including 1,022 Texas Mexicans and at least 40 Puerto Ricans. The Puerto Ricans were being used in muck crops in the South Bend area. For variety, the bulletin got some flowers mixed in with its vegetables. The report said 200 workers were bunching and cutting peonies in the Vincennes area. A summary said that tomato setting was well under way as last week ended. Blocking started this week and will step up labor demands sharply if weather permits. “ . The report by areas: Logansport—-Rainfall delayed tomato setting and planting of mixed vegetables. South Bend—Light frost did no damage. Forty Puerto Ricans being used in muck crops, 25 more expected next week. Weather ideal fqr muck crops. Lafayette—Seed’ corn planting, tomato blocking and setting proceeding at a rapid rate. Anderson — Weather favorable for tomafo setting which should be Completed by next week. Peas showing some bloom, with continued warm weather harvest could be expected around June 10. Starting to block and hoe tomatoes. Growers using more local labor to set plants as rural schools are out. Migratory labor moving into area more slowly than last year. Fort Wayne—Some tomato acreage had to be reset because of frost damage. Blocking of seeded fields started. Local showers and resulting weed growth will create a greater demand for blocking labor. Employers concerned about blocking labor. Indianapolis — St r a wberries about ready for harvest. Tomato j setting sporadic due to scattered heavy local rains.

“No, I suppose he wasn’t. But he was a great conversationalist, as I recall. The most ingenious sort of Utopian, full of wonderful visionary schemes for the improvement of mankind. He used to write verses about them. You can see how well I remember him.” They talked until Harlingen arrived, min-sodden and full of apologies about the time it had taken him to drive down. Vincent said a round of good nights and went upstairs. Watching him go, Murray found almost with annoyance that he liked the man. It made him wonder- how anyone * of that caliber could remotely think of allowing his daughter to marry an Arnold Lundeen. Under any conditions, it wasn’t possible that he could be happy about it. Harlingen was very much at home here. He made his way unerringly to a liquor cabinet in the living room, and searched through it, holding up one bottle after another to the light to read the label. He finally came up with an almost' empty bottle of whiskey and poured out three drinks. When he had served the others he downed his own with a gulp and a shudder. “All right," he said to Murray, “I'm ready for the bad news. It isn’t too bad, I hone.” “I’ll leave that up to you. Do you remember when we were with Benny Floyd at the,lunch stand that day, *and I said I wanted to yank the grapevine and see if we could stir up Wykoff?” “Yes.” “Well, we stirred him up.” Murray turned to Ruth. “That’s what happened to our date. Wykoff sent over a tough to fetch me along to Staten Island, and I wasn’t offered any choice about it. eit’-atf.” Part rs Ruth’s untasted drftik splasterl into her lap. “Oh, no!” she said. w “Wykoff?” said Harlingen in astonishment. “A man in his position trying a stunt like that? Why, if the authorities—” “What authorities?” Murray said. “Look, let’s not kid ourselves. If it’s anything to do with Wykoff, LoScalzo’s the man in charge, and right now LoScalzo would like nothing better than to leave me for dead. But that’s not the point. What I’m getting at is Wykoff’s angle. Evidently, my working on the case bothers him. He wants me out. And to prove to me that I might as well get Out he offered me the evidence that Arnold was guilty.” Murray’s strategy in telling “all” can backfire right in his face. Tempers rise as the story continues here tomorrow.

General Strike Is Familiar To Europe By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — Teamster boss James R. Hoffa’s threat to import a deadly European strike strategy which would straighten out the employers once and for all has some solid precedent in the U.S. labor movement. Hofffa now denies he made any such threat of a general, nationwide strike of his Teamsters Union. Such a strike would paralyze the U.S. economy. Whether Hoffa made the threat can be left for determination —under oath—by the Senate rackets ’subcommittee. If somebody is lying, then somebody may go to jail for perjury. The general strike, a strangling strategy, is well known in Europe. It is as much a political aS an economic weapon. Moreover, the eneral srtaike strategy frequently works. European labor has tried them all. Hoffa’s threat recalls that nearly 25 years have slipped by since the left wing of U.S. organized labor imported the sit-down strike technique from France and stopped the great assembly lines of General Motors. Workers’ Bill of Rights , On Feb. 11, 1937, GM signed the agreement which ended a 44day Flint, Mich., sit-down. From that agreement developed the United Automobile Workers of America organization in GM. Sen. Pat McNamara <D-Mich.h in the Senate on the sit-down’s 20th anniversary said: “Mr. President, 20 years ago this month (Feb. 1957), there took place in Flint, Mich., events which marked the launching of a new bill of rights for the industrial worker. From these strikes came recognition of UAW by General Motors Corporation.” The Communist party, U.S.A, in their national publication, “The Worker,” also commemorated the Flint sit-down in a nostalgic account of events in the first year of the second Roosevelt administration. Organized labor was heavily infiltrated and in some instances led by Communisst at that time. Wyndham Mortimer, vice president of the. struggling UAW, was a Communist closely associated with Bob Travis. UAW leader in Toledo, Ohio, “The Worker” recalled in discussing the Flint sit-down. I An Effective Device “Who were the people (in the Flint strike),” the paper continued, “with initiative and leadership? They were mainly an active core that Mortimer and Travis had built up. But it was people with a Socialist consciousness and association wtih the Communist Party and the thenleftist Socialist Party of Michigan who stood out in key positions.

“While the major leaders at Fisher (a GM plant) were Communists, the group that led the sit-down at the Chevrolet plant (Flint) were mainly Socialists. Later the three Reuther brothers, then Socialists, came to Flint to join Mortimer and the other Communists in the leadership.” (Walter P. Reuther now is No. 2 man in the AFL-CIO.) So, that is the Communist version erf the 1937 importation of the sit-down strike. The sit-down was a device by which employes quit work but remained in the plants day and night, resisting eviction. This was a deadly effective device, especially when courts and
