People go out of their way to prevent any sort of innocent expressions ,of admiration because of what other people will think. Or it could be that the art has declined so far, that people don’t know how to use it as an art anymore. Oh, well, to each his own, but still, “Vive La Difference.” * * * • And Then There Were Eight People have to revise their thinking as trends change. As of last week, the seven seas are no longer. With the opening of the St. Lawrence seaway, the Great Lakes became the eighth sea. This is another step in the reduction of the size of the world by transportation. Liners and cargo ships that once were limited to coastal ports now can steam right to Chicago. Industries that once limited themselves to seaport cities can expand to Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit, Milwaukee, Chicago and Gary which are now ocean ports. Also, several Canadian cities have access to the sea. What the effects of this will be won't be known for many years. JSut bringing more Americans„into closer touch with (citizens of foreign lands, directly or indirectly, should widen our vision, promote international friendship and be an important tool for peace. * * * * Lend Me Your Comb Many people take immense satisfaction in berating popular music, particularly the current brand. Personally, we like it. No matter what kind of worries or what state of physical despair a person is in, they can always turn on the radio, listen to the lyrics of most of the popular songs, and get a good laugh. You can always leave the radio knowing that however bad you’re doing, someone else is doing worse—and in a big way. The subjects are interesting. From hanging Tom Dooley to talking to folks in Heaven; through several types and degrees of teen-age love affairs; from Frankie to the Purple People Eaters. Such one-time problems as Personality are well taken care of. The Battle of New Orleans is refought, and Andy Jackson runs the British into the Gulf of Mexico more times than a test shirt goes into the washer. Napoleon, along with several others, meets his Waterloo, again. This, by the way, is performed by “Stonewall” Jackson. (The Daughters of the Confederaey Will probably sue.) Our favorite is about the fellow who gets stuck on the Boston subway because he doesn’t have an extra nickel. We can still recall “Down in the Meadow in the Little Bitty Pool,” though, so who can criticize. - - f ~ - - - — 1 1 " r

East Germans Slow Down Berlin Traffic > BERLIN (UPD—The East German Communists resorted to a brief slowdown of truck traffic outbound from Berlin today in apparent retaliation for the West German government’s decision to hold its presidential elections here But the Reds made no major attempt to blockade the city, and even “ subdued their propaganda this morning. After brief harassing moves against the outbound rtaffic in the middle of the night, the Reds eased off, and truck- convoys and individual vehicles M moved across East Germany in normal fashion as the day wore on. West German Chancelolr Konrad Adenauer arrived here this morning on one of his rare visits and pledged continued support to West Berlin against its Red besiegers. - Adenauer said he would remain here only until Wednesday evening, by which time the federal assembly should have elected a new West German president. But he said he would visit the city again at the end of July to confer with members of the senate which governs the city. Ludwig Erhard, vice chancellor and economics minister, arrived at the same airfield about the same time as Adenauer. But he traveled by commercial airliner, whereas Adenauer arrived aboard a U.S. Air Force plane. The threatened to West Berlin if the elections were held here and the Soviet Union sent notes to the Western allies Friday complaining that the elections would sabotage possibilities of an East-West agreement at Geneva. West Berlin customs officers reported that the Communist slow motion tactics began just before midnight Monday night. Each car or truck passing through the Communist checkpoint at Dreilinden on the outskirts of the city was delayed for hours. Early today traffic was jammed for 1% miles and it took three hours or more for each driver to Communist permission to cross. Traffic going to Berlin apparently was being handled with normal dispatch at Helmstedt where the 110-mile trip through East Germany starts. The normal delay at this checkpoint is usually abou‘ 1

You got nothing to'do with him. Now go away before I let out a holler , and really make trouble tor you. You near me? Get out of here, both ot you!” Murray took the tape recorder from Bruno, placed it on the table, and opened IL “Eddie, you’ve got one more chance coming to you. George Wykoff didn’t want to see it my way, out 1 convinced him 1 could get a straight story out of you. That's what I’m trying to do now. If you come clean, you're out of, it altogether, and Ira Miller has to answer for himselt. Just talk into this thing, and when George hears it he ll know what side you’re on. Go ahead, it won’t bite you." Schrade looked at the recorder and seemed to gather courage. "Who are you from?” he demanded. ’That Lundeen, isn’t it? You think Georgie Wykoff would send anybody out to make people talk into this thing? What kind ot fool are you trying to make out of me?” “Eddie," Mutray asked pleasantly, “do you know what George Wykoff looks like?” “Sure, 1 know what he looks like." “And Billy Caxton, his chauffeur. ‘t>o you know him ?” ”1 know him, 1 know him. I seen him around." “All right, Eddie, take a look put of your window and tell me what you see around now." “What tor ? What are you trying to do now ?" "I’m trying to do you a favor, Eddie. Take a look out of that window and you’ll see what I mean." “You think Pm so stupid?" Schrade said, but ne sidled along the wall toward the window, and then cautiously turned to look out ot it. When he saw Wykoff sitting out there tn his limousine he fell back With a gasp, his eyes starting out of his head, his arms flailing out blindly.

He was hatless, and his overcoat was thrown over his shoulders like a cape. “Always the ham,” Murray said, and then as Harlingen was about to push open the car door he said, "No, wait a minute. Let them get settled upstairs first. It’ll run smoother that way." He patted the tape recorder on his lap. “You sure you know how to handle this thing?” ,J’’Yes." “And you know how the stuff in the briefcase \is arranged.

There was no surprise to it—of course, Wykoff would have passed along a warning about this encounter at the first opportunity—but only a polite gravity, a frowning concern at this invasion of his household, (t was a look Murray recognised fromibis previous look of a rmav’iMo had hoped to settle down for the evening = With a good book and a well-worn brier, and who finds, instead, that he must play host to some wellmeaning but uninvited guests.

One Man Killed By Explosion In Plant INDIANAPOLIS’* (UPI) — Officials at the local Chrysler Corp, plant today sought the cause of an explosion of a soft drink vending machine which killed one man and injured 10 others. The machine blew up in one corner of the plant’s manufacturing area Monday while about a dozen workers were clustered nearby during the hottest afternoon in nearly three years. The blast killed William A. Lodico, 30, Indiai® polls. Three other workers—Edward W. Grady, 30, Greenfield; Merrill R. Parkhurst, 29, and Donald H. Payne, 31, both of Indianapolis — were! hospitalized. Grady was released after treatment. Seven others were treated at the plant dispensary. A company spokesman said plant investigators beghn trying to determiife the cause of the blast Monday night. He described the explosion as “violent” and said the machine was demolished. Witnesses said Lodico’s body was hurled about 35 feet by the, force of the blast. A wall behind the machine was crumpled. Company officials ordered more than a dozen other machines -of! the same type removed from the; , plant as a precautionary measure. I ", The temperature soared to 95 j .' here Monday. ■! Those treated for minor injuries ■ were identified as Orgill Thurman, 32: James Stewart, 29; Charles ■ Sebastian, 30; Herbert Tyler, 40;! . Louis Nelson, 36, all of Indianapo- ■ lis; R. J. Smith, R. R. 3^Mar.tins- + ; ville, and Clifford E. Young, 330 Greenwood. ■ The blast occurred in a section of the plant where about 175 day-; ' shift empjoyes were on duty. Authorities said the machine is the type that-dispenses drinks of several varieties into paper cups. It does not dispense bottled pop. ' Lodico’s body was badly manI gled andxhurled under an electrician’s eart some distance from the - machine. Doctors said he undoubtedly was killed outright.
