I have] attempted to serve both the Deca- j tur Daily Democrat and the Citi- ] zens of this city and area, as a local news reporter to the best of my ability. During this time, it Iras been my good fortune to meet and work with several people, to report to you, the reader of this paper, the latest in news and happenings. It would be impossible for me to name or contact the number of | people with whom I have been associated, interviewed, worked with, etc., to thank them person- j ally for the cooperation given me in my duties as a reporter. So, by ■ way of this column, I will attempt to do so. , —— -- During my employment, I have discussed topics with other report-1 ers, newspapers, law enforcement agencies, city and county govern-! ment bfficials, -attorneys, merchants, courts, you, the reader, ! school officials, and many others, too numerous to mention, who; have been a great help to me in my duties. To these persons I am most grateful, and may I say , “Thank You.” In my new position with this | paper, as a member of the adver-| tising staff, I am looking forward j to meeting more residents of this community with great anticipation, to serve you even better.

Essay Contest On Lincoln Memorial INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—lndiana began a search today for two writers who can defend Hoosjer honor on a literary battlefront. ’ Hubert H. Hawkins, secretary of the Indiana Historical Society and director of the state Hisotir- ‘ cal Bureau, announced the opening of a contest in which SI,OOO and other prices are to be given for two winning essays. Deadline for the state portion of the con--1 test is Sept. 1. ; The writers —both professional > and non professional — will be asked to record their "Reflections I While Standing Before the Lincoln Memorial." i Hawkins said the sponsors of : ! the national contest obviously : were referring to the Lincoln . . Memorial in Washington, D. C. i But he figures enough Hoosiers , have been to Washington that the . state ought to be able to produce a winning entrant in the national [ competition. ’ There’s nothing in the rules requiring the writer to have physi1 cally stood before the impressive • memorial. The entrants could use ■ their imagination as did some of the earlier literary giants who 1 brought Indiana fame. The natoinal contest is backed ■ by the American Association for State and Local History, headquartered in Madison, Wis., and t Broadcast Music Inc., New York. » The professional and non-proses--5 sional winners split the SI,OOO and one of the two also will join a , group of contributors to BMl’s ; public service radio series, The t Abraham Lincoln Story, to be sent to all radio and television > stations next year. 1 Contributors to the series in- ’ elude Carl Sandburg, Adlai Stev- ’ enson, Ulysses S. Grant, 111, and ' Mark Van Doren. * Hawkins, as chairman of the . state contest, announced that the f two state winners will be announced Oct. 1 after judging by a five-member screening committee. State prizes, yet to be de- ’ termined, will be awarded, and the two entries sent to Madison, 1 Wis., to compete against the win- ■ ners of other states. Rules from rae contest may be obtained from Hawkins at the State Historical Bureau in Indianapolis (140 N. Senate). Over 2,500 Daily Democrats are sold and delivered in Decatur ; each day.

Reds Worried Over East Germany Hold

(Editor’s Note: What weight ’ should be given to German Communist threats of a Berlin blockade? What co.Jtrol does the Communist regime hold over the people of East Germany? To seek the answers, UP’s Wellington Long, news manager for Germany, joined other Western correspondents on a visit to East Germany this week. Here is his report.) By WELLNIGTON LONG United Press International EAST BERLIN (UPD — The Communist regime in East Germany probably is bluffing when it threatens to force the Western Allies out of West Berlin. But the German Communists do believe that sooner or later they will have a great degree of influence over the activities of the Allied garrisons in West Berlin and their supply. The Communists are less confident about their control over 17 million restless East Germans. That is the sum of impressions gathered during a visit to East Berlin and East Germany this week and from talks with all sorts of people ranging from Communist Party central committeemen down to railway ticket takers and construction workers. Less Threatening In Private When speaking for the record they talk though of how the Soviet will back them up in the long list of things they say they will forbid the Allies to do. When they’re not talking propaganda the German Communist leaders speak a lot less threateningly. They still maintain that East Germany will sign a separate treaty with Russip, but they are vague on details and indicate it will be the simple passage of time that will give them control over West Berlin's lifelines. Asked at what point in stalemated East-West negotiations an East German - Russian peace treaty would be signed. East Berlin’s Communist Party Chief Paul Verner declared, "When that would be, no one can say. ’m no fortune teller, but we won’t wait until 1961 when the Adenauer regime in West Germany is to have completed its atomic armament.” Believe West Will Agree The Communists still refuse to believe that the West will not agree to their peace treaty demands, and they think they’re making gains as far as winning some sort of recognition from the Western powers.

PAGE THREE

They believe the Allies now are moving towards an agreement whereby they will negotiate with the East German regime in supplying their garrisons in West Berlin. But the Communists still worry about their own influence in East Germany. l “The regime would not last a minute if the Soviet army left,” said a man met in the East Berlin railway station. “Even a lot of party members could switch. But as long as the Russian army is here, there won’t be another revolt.” County 4-H Camp To Open June 22 The end of this week is the dead-/ line for getting reservations in forgg this year’s 4-H camp, county agerft Leo Seltenright announced today.
