. DECATOR DAILY DEMOCRAT Published Every Evening Except Sunday By THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT CO., INC. Entered at the Decatur, Ind., Post Office as Second Class Matter Dick D. Heller, Jr Present John G. Heller Vice-President Chas. Holthouse Secretory-Treasurer Little League Funds This week a number of public-spirited Decatur citizens are out in search of funds for Decatur’s Little League and Pony League. They are asking for a total of $1,500 torun the eight teams this year. This is less than S2OO for a 15-man team, and includes caps, equipment, umpires, and all necessary insurance, etc. Merchants and industries are being contacted this week, under the direction of president Ldwrence Beal. At the present time the two leagues provide exciting summer recreation for 120 boys, roughly from the third to eighth grades. But in those six grades in the public and parochial schools there are. 624 boys; this means that less than 20% of the boys in Decatur can take part in the Little and Pony Leagues. The men who work in the Little League and Pony League programs are trying to figure out ways to increase the number of teams. Several things are necessary. First, more baseball diamonds are needed. Work is now under way on the Homestead field. Help is needed out there. If the Catholic field at Hanna-Nuttman park could be completed, it would help ease the shortage of baseball diamonds. k • At present Little League games have been cut from the original 18 games a season to only 12, because not enough games can be scheduled at crowded Worthman field on the two nights allowed to the Little Leaguers and one night) for the Pony Leaguers. Maintenance of the new fields will also present a problem. Who will help with it? It takes approximately S3OO to start a team, including uniforms. Then it takes about S2OO a year to maintain it. In this, the sixth year of the local Little League, the players are still using the original uniforms. The only piece of equipment that the boy gets to keep is his Little League cap. Norman Steury is now contacting the industries of Decatur to see if they will help with the Little League program—they have always helped considerably in the past. The merchants are being contacted by Jim Cowens, Dick Macklin, Beal and others. But if you would like to help, just put a dollar or two in an envelope and send it to Lawrence Beal, 515 W. Adams, Decatur, Ind., and mark it for the Little League. More and more boys will need Little League training in the next few years. The eighth grades of Decatur, total, contain 75 boys; the seventh grades, 76. But second grade contains 143, and the first grade, 114. These boys will be coming into the Little League in the next two years. Will we be ready for them ? Or will they be out running the streets and alleys because Decatur will not help raise its own children? The answers to these questions are up to us. No one else can solve them—only you and I.

Detail Report On Bombs High Over Pacific WASHINGTON (UPD—Two hydrogen bombs exploded by the United States high over the Pacific last summer disrupted radio communications in a 3,000-mile area and partially blinded animals 300 miles away. Hie tests, conducted over Johnston Island, also apparently loaded the earth’s magnetic field in the middle latitudes with artificial radiation intense enough to kill an unshielded space traveler. This was disclosed Monday in the first detailed official report on probably the most spectacular bomb tests ever conducted by any country. , The explosions, one at more than 40 miles’ altitude and the other at about 20 miles, proved that: —High nuclear shots can black out radio communications and disrupt radar early warning systems over great distances. —Such bomb tests can be easily detected by their blinding light for perhaps 1,000 miles and for 2,000 to 3,000 miles by their auroral and radio effects. —At greater distances, however, they might go undetected and even at 2,000 to 3,000 miles it might be impossible to be sure exactly what happened and who did it. —Such high shots produce negligible heat and blast effects on the ground but generate fantastically huge fireballs and brighter-than-the-sun flashes of light which can blind at immense distances faster than a man can blink his eyes. The report, issued by the Atomic Energy Commission and Defense Department, covered the tests carried out last July 31 and Aug. 11. Merry Maids The Monmouth Merry Maids will hold a meeting Wednesday at the Monmouth school with a work session to be held from 9:30 a.m. until 12 noon and a regular meeting from 1 until 3 p.m.

CHAPTER 29 •THE BED in the guest rooni 1 of Bruno Manfredi's nouse had a swaybackea mattress that Bounded to Murray Kirk as if it were stuffed with corn shucks—an assurance, ne told nunseif grimly, that there would be little sleep for him this night—and after a moment’s contemplation of this bleak prospect ne was sound asleep. He awoke in darkness wondering where be was. Then he became aware of the metallic clunk-clunk ot an endless freight train passing by his window, and remembered. Remembered, too, the stray thought that had prowled all through his dreams, . staying Just out of reach. A man. An identity. A name— He slid out ot the bed, shuddering as nis feet touched the floor, which was as cold as the snow-encrusted ground outside George Wykoff's nouse, and groped around for the light. With his eyes narrowed against its glare he looked at his watch and saw that it was not quite six o'clock. He debated trying to get back to sleep, and decided against It. Now that he had that name on his mind it would be impossible, anyhow. Wykoff's record book was on the dresser. He took it into bed with nim and opened it. The name was In the book—it was the only name written out fully—and while it shouldn’t have meant anything to him, it did. It was signed in a tine, round hand at the end of each month's records, obviously attesting to the accuracy ot the figures that preceded IL Okay—Chas. Ptrozy, C.P.A.. it said; the signature and pedigree ot a Certified Public Accountant proud ot nis professional standing, and not afraid to go down on the record, as long as the record was safely locked up in Wykoff’s charge. What Chas, might feel now, Murray thought, was something else again. But It was not that thought that bothered him. It was the feeling that the name was familiar, that somewhere he nad met it before, which affected him like a gnat hovering before nis nose. But where ? He sat with the book propped on his knees trying to match the name with someone who might have had reason to mention it to him. It had to be someone who knew Wykoff, who was close to him—Miller, Schrade, Caxton, Dowd, possibly Mona Dowd—no, it didn’t seem to i be any of them. Harlingen? Now why, Murray wondered, should the image of Harlingen keep interposing itself. He was brooding over this when he beard a noise at the door, the sound of a fingernail tapping against it •■Murray,” Hruno whispered, “you awake?”

I Murray opened the door and observed that Bruno was in pajamas and was not alone. Riding piggyback on nis shoulders was the youngest and smallest Manfredi, who, also garbed in pajamas, kept nis balance by a tight grip on two upstanding tufts of his 4ather’s thinning nair. When he saw Murray he bounced up and down on Bruno’s shoulders, his eyes bright with interest ••Quit it" Bruno commanded amiably. “1 saw your light on,’’ he told Murray, "so 1 wondered If it was too cold tn here. You need another blanket or something ?” “No, I’m all right I was just wondering where 1 heard that guy's name before, that one who handled Wykoff’s books. You know how it is when you start wondering about something like that. Not that It matters any.” “1 know. But wouldn’t it be in Lundeen’s file?” "If it was, I’d remember it I know that file backward and forward. Funny thing,j though, it keeps reminding me if Harlingen. No, wait a second, not Harlingen —Harlingen’s kid/ But what would she nave to do with it?” “Well,” Bruno said, “Harlingen said he always keeps her in touch with everything. He's afraid she’ll have a nervous breakdown on him, If he doesn’t. Maybe he told her, and she told you, and that’s how It went” “I think you’ve got the wrong slant on Harlingen,” Murray said. “Anyhowlet it go, It’ll come, to me sooner or later, if 1 don’t bother about it" He indicated Bruno’s rider. “Which one is this?” “Oh, this one? This ©ne is Vito,” said Bruno. "He’s a big boy now. Last time you saw tym he was wearing diapers, but ne don’t wear diapers any more. We go for a ride every morning this tjjne. Isn't that so, Vito?” Vito waved an arm behind him, pointing at something. “No Sanny Cross.” he said querulously. “What’s that mean?" Murray asked. "Oh, no Santa Claus. Sure there’s a Santa Claus, Vito. Don’t let your father hand you that stuff.” Vito bounced up and down and pointed again, "No Sanny Cross,” he protested stormily. “No Sanny Cross. No Sanny Cross.” "Ah, turn it off," Bruno said. 'This is a real character, this one,” he told Murray. Vito was not paying attention. He leaned forward and poked a finger at,? Murray's face. "Din,” he said in a melting voice. “Din. Din.” . "What’s he saying now?” Murray asked. “Who knows?” said Bruno. “Half the time the' only ones who can make out what he's saying

rural route 2, Decatur, have received the new address of their daughter, Barbara, who joined the service the first of this year. The address is, Pvt. Barbara L. Sommer, WA 8516604; Hg Co. U.S. Army WAC; Fort Myer, South Area; Arlington 8, Virginia. COURT NEWS Court On Vacation Because the Adams circuit court is in summer recess, only new cases and extenuating circumstances in previous cases will be brought before the bench during the week. The court will be on call throughout the summer, but action will be normally taken on Thursdays and Fridays only. The court will recovene on Sept 7.

' are the other kids, so if they’re not around I’m really flyifig blind." He settled Vito firmly on his shoulders. “You ought to get back to bed before you freeze your feet. That linoleum is murder tn cold weather." . ■ , ■ Murray shook his head. "No, I'll get dressed and get going. ■ This thing about Harlingen and -- his girl is too much on my mind, and if I get to his place before she leaves for school I can talk to them both about it. I’ll leave Wykoff s book here, and what you have to do is take it to the office and have the lab run a film of it As long as we’ve got a film of it put away safe, we've got Wykoff backed into the comer. I don’t think he’ll try any rough stuff then, what with the Treasury Department ready to give its right arm for this book. It must be worth about five hundred years in jail for the guy on income-tax evasion." “You don't think LoScalzo wouldn’t give his right arm for it, too?” Bruno said. “You know what it could mean to him in this investigation? Man. that bundle of paper is the hottest thing in town right now. Drop it on the floor, it'll send up a cloud like an atom bomb." “Well, don't drop It Matter of fact, don’t go in alone to the office. Call up Mrs. K. and tell her to send a couple of men out tor you, and then one of them can’ take that rented sedan back to Staten Island. And it you smell trouble coming;, call for the cops. Don’t you go being a hero. Lucy’s got enough on her hands without having to take time off to visit you in the hospital." » • • The cab pulled up at the St. Stephen a few minutes after seven, which, Murray estimated, allowed him just time enough for a shave and a change of clothing before he paid his visit to the Harlingens. It was going to be an interesting visit, he knew, and not for the reason he had given Bruno. What he hadn’t told Bruno —after all, it was none of bls business—was that Harlingen was the means by which a single page torn from Wykoff’S binder would be presented to Ruth Vincent, pink ribbon or no pink ribbon. Chances were that if he tried to approach Ruth himself, he’d be left out on the sidewalk like a frustrated Romeo bellowing up to his unwilling Juliet that he had the goods on - Paris, and that was not for him. He wanted no part of that. But Ruth would listen to Harlinge*. ~ A hit and run outside a ball park can mean murder. Stanley Ellin’s beat-seller detective mystery reaches a high climax here tomorrow.

n *y* * ’* Steelworkers And Industry Resume Talks NEW YORK <UPD—The United Steelworkers Union backed down on its demand for individual company negotiations and agreed to resume industry-wide talks today, two weeks before its strike deadline. The agreement to resume negotiations on an industry-wide basis after a four-day recess was a concession to the steel industry, which has refused the union’s proposal for company-by-company talks. Meanwhile, the possibility of a strike in the copper, lead and zinc industry was raised. The wagepolicy committee of the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers scheduled a meeting for next Monday in Denver to review contract negotiations. Contracts expired June 30 as do the steel industry contracts. Committee Standing By Steelworkers Union President David J. McDonald said the union’s 435-man wage policy committee would' be standing by today in the event separate talks were arranged with die 12 major steel companies. It had appeared that the union’s insistence on separate talks would result in a deadlock. Then Monday night McDonald announced in Washington that the union was not'“too proud” to continue indus-try-wide talks and would have its four-man bargaining team on hand here today to meet ’ with steel negotiators. Hie steel union head made the announcement after meeting with Federal Mediation Chief Joseph Finnegan for 35 minutes. Finnegan, who had asked to see McDonald, said “we had some very interesting, informative and exploratory talks.’’ The mediation leader noted that he would confer next Monday with R. Conrad Cooper, head of the industry negotiating team, and Roger M. Blough, chairman of the board of the U.S. Steel Corp. 'Called “Little Conversation” McDonald described the meeting as a “little conversation” during which “I briefed him <Fmnegan) on the status of what is laughlingly called negotiations to date.” Later, the steel union president told a group of 21 Democratic senators in a closed-door . dinner discussion that the steel industry could grant a 40-cent-an-hour wage increase and still have the most profitable year in history. The industry has proposed-a oneyear wage freeze to preclude a new inflationary spiral. Sen. Albert Gore (D-Tenn.) said McDonald made a “forceful presentation,” while Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.) described it as “splendid.” The Democratic group has invited Blough to give a similar briefing next week. Earlier, in a speech at" Philadelphia. McDonald said that tupe was running out in negotiations to work out a new contract. But he expressed hope that an agreement would be reached before cut-rent steel contracts affecting 500,000 ’ basic steelworkers expire.

Ask State Power Os local Prosecution INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Lt. Gov. Crawford Parker said Monday he will ask the Indiana Legislative Advisory Commission to find a way to provide the state government with the power to prosecute laws on the county level. Parker’s proposal would bave effect of bypassing or revising the state, constitution’s “home rule” provisions which prohibit any state official above county prosecutor of circuit judge from initially enforcing legislative acts. Parker stated that some sort of legislative action is necessary to avoid a repetition of the recent Lake County crime scandals revealed by the Senate Rackets Committee. The plan was announced after Parker conferred with Governor Handley and Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers. “I will suggest,” he said, “that this committee work with the Indiana attorney general and others in preparing its suggestions, to be incorporated in the official report of the commisison as away to make sure that laws can be enforced when local law enforcement break? down.” Parker said, however, that he felt “most all local law enforcement officials are doing a good job.” “I certainly would be opposed to the state taking over the duties of

New Castle Workers Ratify Agreement NEW CASTLE. Ind. <UPI) — Operations were scheduled to be resumed today at the local Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. plant following agreement on local issues. Members- of Local 238 of the United Rubber Workers Union ratified a new contract Monday after they reestablished picket lines despite settlement last Saturday of a 58-day strike at the firm’s other plants. About 250 union workers refused to return to work pending settle-, ment of local grievances. Rep. Powell's Trial Set For October 5 NEW YORK (UPD—Rep. Adam Clayton Powell (D-N.Y.) will go on trial in federal court, Oct. 5, on charges of income tax evasion. Federal Judge Gregory F. Noonan directed Monday. Powell, who is also pastor of Harlem’s Abyssinian Baptist Church, was indicted more than a year ago on charges of -preparing a fradulent return for his wife, pianist Hazel Scott, in 1951, and for them both in 1952. local officials except when it becomes a necessity,” he said. Handley commented last week that home rule has “boomeranged” in Lake County. But he said then he did not feel the entire area of home rule should be crippled “just because one particular county won’t clean up its own mess.”
