REPUBLICAN STATEMENT The Indiana Republican State Central Committee has recently mailed out, for immediate release,, a statemerit. This three-page statement should be carefully studied. This statement rejects the role of Federal government in education, for example, either at the public school level or in the field of higher education. This comes as quite a shock to anyone familiar with actual federal aid to education. The Morrill Act, passed in the 1860’s under the Republicans, provided the whole basis for our Federal Land Grant College system. The great university of Purdue is one of them. They are the foundation jof our entire agricultural system. Had it not been for federal aid, there would be no school of agriculture at Purdue. If the Republicans are serious about their statement, it could literally wreck our entire education system, from vocational agriculture to home ec. It is quite likely just eyewash, rather than a serious statement, since it is highly impractical to carry out. • • • • * „ TAXPAYER’S CALENDAR The Indiana Taxpayers Association has recently mailed out a number of copies of their 1959 taxpayer’s calendar. This is a very useful thing, if you feel that taxes are too high, and can be kept lower. First date on the calendar is August 1. That is the last day for ten or more taxpayers to file a petition with the county auditor for a reduction or revision of any existing cumlative bridge fund levy, a city emulative building and equipment fund levy, or a city, town, or township school building fund lefy. People who feel that a specific tax is too high should complain to the responsible agency. That way the difference of opinion can be ironed out. Sometimes we misunderstand exactly what is being or has been done. Sometimes it can be a real help to the officeholder have, an alert friend catch an error. The time to really get something accomplished is while it is still in the planning stage. Once the budget is approved, very few changes will be made.

Sen. Capehart Asks Miller Be Appointed SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPD-The sGuth Bend Tribune said today that Sen. Homer E. Capehart has asked President Eisenhower to appoint J. Irwin Miller, wealthy Columbu?, Ind., industrialist, as secretary of commerce. The newspaper said it learned that Capehart’s recommendation in behalf of Miller was endorsed by some of the Republicans and Democrats in the Indiana delegation! in Congress, including Rep. John Brademas fD-South Bend), who represents the 3rd District. Capehart confirmed, when the Tribune reached him in Indianapolis .today, that he has championed Miller for the post and believes the Senate would approve the nomination without a hassle such as occurred when Eisenhower nominated Lewis Strauss for the post. The Senate rejected the Strauss nomination recently. “Mr. Miller is a leader in business and a leader in church work,” Capehart was quoted. “I am certain the Senate would not deny the country the services of such a man.” Capehart's recommendation to the President was made in a letter forwarded today. Miller is chairman of the board of the Cummins Engine Co. Columbus, which manufactures diesel engines, is a director of the Indiana Bell Telephone Co., and holds other executive positions.

Little Rock Plans Opening 01 Schools LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (UPDThe Little Rock School Board made’ plans today to open four closed high schools this fall, apparently with token integration, despite warnings of Gov. Orval E. Faubus that it would again provoke mob violehce. The board met in closed session Thursday night, then issued a short statement saying student registration would begin shortly under provisions of a state pupil assignment law which could prevent a large number of Negro students from attending white high schools. The board’s action followed a prediction by Faubus that is l , the Federal government forced in- j tegration this Tall, “live ammu-i nition” would have to be used. Faubus also predicted “bomb scares, trouble in the schools, incidents of various kinds, and a great deal of friction outside the schools.” He said mob violence might be worse than 1957 when. President Eisenhower ordered Army paratroopers flown in to restore order!

Freighter Sinks In Lake Huron Today ALPENA, Mich. (UPD—A Liberian freighter sank in 140 feet of water in Lake Huron early today about 11 hours after it collided with a Great Lakes grain carrier during a dense fog. The Coast Guard cutter Mackinaw confirmed that its last trace of the 432-foot Monrovia came shortly after 1 a.m. All 29 crewmen aboard the 6,674ton Liberian ship abandoned the vessel shortly after it collided with the Canadian grain carrier Royalton and were picked up by another Great Lakes ship, the Norman W. | Foy. * It was the first .major ship col- ’ lision on inland waters since the [ St. Lawrence Seaway was opened ! in April. The Monrovia was bound for Chicago with a cargo of steel when it collided with the down-bound | Royalton, a 536-foot, 12.00-ton ship owned by the Scott Misener Steam-I ship Co.’ Ltd, of Port - Colbourne, I Ont.

CHAPTER 32 I MURRAY Ki.tK pushed three’ paper clips into a line on his desk.' “Here’s George Wy-1 koff, here’s Eddie Schrade, and ■ here's Ira Miller,” he explained to Bruno Manfredi. “The three men we’re setting up. And when they’re all set we jump them—one, two, three-r-and take them off the‘checker board ail in one shot.” “And if one of those men gets out of line before we’re ready ?” asked Bruno. “What happens to us then?” “Then—” Murray said, and drew the edge of his forefinger across his throat. “That’s what I thought,” Eruno said. "Now I’m sorry I asked. All right, let’s get it over with. It might be cold- out, but every minute Wykoff’s sitting out there in his car is only making him hotter.” “No, first check with Mrs. K. about Schrade. Who’s watching him now ?” “It’s supposed to be Leo Morrisey.” „ “Then ask her when Morrisey called in last and What he reported.” Bruno, ordinarily a slow-mov-ing man, departed and returned with fair celerity. “She says he called about twenty minutes ago, and Schrade is still there. Is that good?” “Very good. Now we go to work.” • • ♦ Bruno waited in the doorway of the building, holding the portable tape recorder, while Murray strolled a few paces along the street and stopped to look in the window of the tobacco store there. Using the window as a mirror he watched Caxton leave the limousine and approach him. “Mr. Kirk?” Caxton removed his cap and held it to his chest, a gesture befitting the dignified chauffeur of a dignified magnate. “Mr. George Wykoff says that if you want to speak to him, would you please step into the car? It’s right over there.” "1 know it is. But you tell Mr. Wykoff for me that 1 want to speak to him right over here. Tell him he 'could use the fresh air.” Obviously, if was not up to Caxton to make decisions as long as Wykoff was on the scene. He returned to the car, and In the shop window Murray saw him talking animatedly to Wykoff. There were other reflections In the window as well, Murray noticed; the reflections of two-doL lar bettors passjng up and down the street Men and women of alt sizes, shapes, and conditions of life, they walked by, not knowing that the man they glanced Kt 99 ho was helped from his

He had held the power of the High Justice, the Middle, and the. Aow over them for a long tjtnjet and they knew nothing abVtitJit and cared less. Wykoff moved, alongside Murray, and the two ot them stood studying the contents of the window, the handsome pipes and exotic tobaccos which, as any passerby could see, were their sole interest in life at the moment. ’The price,” said Wykoff. “What’s the price?” “Cheap,” said Murray. “No cash involved. Just a couple of favors 1 want you tp"do for me.” Wykoff cast an admiring eye at a meerschaum. “You tvant! Who are you to tell me what you want, you dirty shamiis? 1 want the book you stole from my house. That’s what I’m here for.” ‘Two books,” said Murray. ‘l’ve got a little machine upstairs that makes two out of one. One for you and one for me. Mine is in a box along with my life insurance. But I’ve got a surprise for you, Wykoff. If you make a deal with me now you can have both of them. I hate to say it, but your records aren't worth anything to anybody.’*' "That’s what you say. What kind of a deal ?” "An*basy one First, I want you to drive me over to Brooklyn and wait there while I clear up some business. Then, around nine o’clock tonight, 1 want you to show up at Ira Miller's apartment And I want you to bring pal, LoScalzo, along with you. That’s all there is to it, and you’ll get your books tonight at Miller's. It’s the biggest bargain you could ask fbr.” Wykoff tilted his head to read the price tag on the meerschaum. “You call that a bargain, making trouble for Ira? Take it from me, Kirk, I don’t sell Ira down the river for anybody or anything. And what’s this about LoScalzo. Since when do I give LoScalzo his orders ? If you knew what he was like—” -“I know, but you can make up some story that’ll get him there. And as far as Miller goes, you’ll be there to take care of him, won’t you? And it’s either that, or no book, Wykoff, You’re hung up by the thumbs.” “You think so ?”-.... “Don’t stall, Wykoff. Make up your mind quick, or start wondering who gets those records first—LoScalzo or the Treasury Department.” -‘Wykoff turned away from the meerschaum, “Get in the car,” he said. ' “I’ve got someone who has to come along with trie." “AH right, both of you. What « ■ _ .' •

One-Arm Wolfe Dies In Explosion, Fire DUNDEE, Fla. (UPD—killed in a mystery explosion and fire in a vacant house here was identified today as Charles (OneArm) Welfe, 67, an Indiana slayer and one-time associate of the notorious killer, Gerald Chapman. Wolfe was found last Tuesday night dying of burns in front of a Dundee house which had been ripped by a blast that killed any other man. The other man, who has not been identified, was killed outright and burned beyond recognition. Wolfe spent 18 years in Indiana State Prison at Michigan City, Ind., for his part in the shotgun slaying of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Hance, a Muncie, Ind., farm couple, in 1925. Wolfe, Chapman and Dutch Anderson, another member of a gang which terrorized middlewestern cities in the 19205, were accused of killing the Hances because they believed Hance tipped off police that Chapman was hiding out at their home. Wolfe, a native of Hartford City, Ind., and former merchant policeman there, was paroled from prison two weeks before Christmas in 1943 when his life sentence was commuted. Indiana acquaintances understood he had been working in or around Sebring. Fla., in recent years. He and the other man killed in the explosion were believed ta have been fruit ranch employes around Dundee. Authorities were unable to learn why the men were in the house, which was vacated by a Negro family which moved North. They considered a theory that Wolfe lured the other man to the" house to kill him and was himself killed in carrying out his plan. Wolfe died at Winter Haven, Fla., where he was taken to a r hospital after the fire. He died without giving officers an account of what happened. After the Hance slayings 34 years ago, Chapman fled East and was caught and executed the same year in Connecticut after a holdup in which a policeman Was slain. The Hance slaying occurred Aug. 14, 1925. Over 2,500 Dally Democrats an sold , and delivered in Decatur each day.

the hell dp I care?” said Wy* koff, but when Murray signaled Bruno Manfredi out from the concealing doorway he looked momentarily surprised. Then he recovered himself. "Oh, it’s you,” ■ he said sourly. "How come you ain’t around fixing, people’s fuses any more. Did you get a promotion or something?” • • • There were sounds emanating from behind the door of Eddie Schrade’s room, the sounds of a piano badly played. When Murray knocked on the door the sounds abruptly ceased. "Yeah?" said Schrade. "Who is it?" "It’s Murray Kirk, Eddie. Remember, a couple of weeks ago you told me if I ever needed a little band to play at an occasion—” The door swung open. “Come on in, coipe on in,” said Schrade. “I’m glad you're interested. If J >» o Murray pyshed him back into the room, and Bruno slammed the door and stood mena ci n g 1 y against it. Schrade gaped at them both. “Say, what is this?” he . said, weakly. "What’s going on here? You better watch out with that rough stuff, because I don’t like it.” “That’s too bad,” Murray said, "because the guy who sent us here does. But maybe you'll get used to it. Eddie. Maybe after a couple of lumps you won't even mind it.” Schrade found it hard to swallow. "What guy? What are you talking about?" ' “What guy?” Murray turned to Bruno. “He wants to know who sent us. You want to tell him?” Bruno smiled grimly. "Sure. George Wykoff sent us. Is that any surprise?” “I don’t believe you!” Schrade cried. “You're a couple of fakers. What would Georgie want with me? What does he care about me?” "You little double-crosser,” Murray said, “he cares plenty. You didn’t really believe that story I told you last time, did you ? It was George sent me then, because he heard all about you and Miller and Pirozy, but he wanted to give you a chance to come clean. You had your chance, Eddie, and you blew it. What do you think of that?" No one made a move toward him, but Schrade retreated until he was backs# against the waH, hands extended as if to fend off oncoming disaster. Eddie Schrade has some Wy-koff-shaking statements for Murray’s tape recorder as “The Eighth Circle” moved toward a stirring conclusion tomorrow.
