Rainfall Welcomed In City And County Several early morning showers left welcome rain in southeastern Adams county, freshening up the corn and soybean crops and delaying oats harvesting until Monday. ' About 12:30 p. m., a hard shower hit the city, sending shoppers and employes out for noon scurrying for shelter. Some wind, and a little lightning and thunder accompanied the rain, but it was mainly a steady shower, with the rain pouring straight down onto parched lawns and gardens. The rain was continuing at about the same rate at 1 p. m. The rain was welcome for corn and soybeans, which are looking good this year, from all reports, but which could use some rain, as the county has received only two other showers this month, one the first of July,, and one last Saturday, when .09 inch of rain fell eady in the morning. This morning’s early rain fell in a line across the southwestern part of the county. While Union and Jefferson townships rooorted no measurable rain. Hartford townshio, at the Ivan Huser farm, received 1.(55 inch, 1.25 of this between 5 and 7 a. m. In Washington township, weather observer Louis Landrum reported that .12 inch of rain fell this morning between 6:45 and 9:15 o’clock. St. Mary’s township received .20 inch at the Richard Speakman farm, while Monroe township received .30 inch this morning, Ben Mazelin reported this morning. Blue Creek township, at the Austin Merriman farm, received .40 inch as the rain line fell diagonally across the southeastern part of the county. Wheat, Oats Harvest Light Mazelin reported this morning, as did six grain elevators in Monroe, Pleasant Mills, and Decatur contacted this morning, also reported that the wheat harvest is over and oats harvest has begun. At Mazelin’s, the wheat harvest Vielded 37 bushels per acre, while the March-planted oats, which generally looks better this year than that planted later, yielded 75 bushels per acre. The late-plant-ed oats will have a much smaller yield, Mazelin reported—perhaps half that of the March oats. The grain elevators reported that the quality of the grains are high this year, with the exception of some oats which was harvested early this year. The oats, ed by the spring rains and the early summer drought, is not ripening uniformly, and green patches which were harvested along with riper oats brpught the moisture content up. However, because of the late winter flood and icing, the wheat crop is light this year, with the average yields reported at the local elevators approximately 25 bushels per acre, with other yiqlds averaging anywhere from 15 to 30 bushels per acre. The highest wheat yield reported came from Franklin Steury—Bs bushels per acre. The quality, unlike last year’s quality iA both wheat and oats, is good this year, with moistures all reported well below 14, with one average about 12 or 12%. Last year’s grains had higher moisture contest because of the rains that continued through harvest time, leaving the harvested grain subject to weevil in storage. This morning’s rain, while expected to slow down the oats harvest, which began the first part of this week, just as wheat harvest ended, was expected to keep the combines out of the fields until Monday where the heaviest rains hit, but no damage was expected to result

Official Os Union Visits Picket Lines GARY, Ind. (UPI) — Howard Hague, vice president of t h e United Steelworkers Union, arrived in the Calumet area Thursday night to inspect picket lines around the struck steel mills. The union’s No. 2 officer will look over the picketing at Inland Steel and Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. plants and attend meetings of new locals at East Chicago. Hague and district union director Joseph Germano were expected to tour picket lines at the U. S. Steel plant. With a prolonged strike In mind, Calumet Twp. Trustee Harold Devault said Thursday the township’s poor relief hind win be available to steel workers and their families who have to use up thelf savings during the strike. Devault said he will meet with his advisory board soon to request a bond issue to meet expected expenses. A bond issue to meet the 1958 strike costs is still being liquidated by the township.

Children's Midgel Cars Are Dangerous CHICAGO (UPI) — Children’s midget cars are dangerous and shouldn’t be used, the National Safety Council warned today. The motorized cars the youngsters are driving are more than toys, the council said. “Some of these miniature automobiles are so heavily powered they can go 40 to 50 miles an hour,” said Gen. George C. Stewart, executive vice president of the council. “That’s too fast for any youngster under 16 to drive anywhere, anytime, and parents are only begging for trouble when they permit a child to do it. “We realize that some of these little cars won’t go more than five miles an hour. There is an undestandable feeling by some narents that such a car can be driven safelv bv a 7-year-old child in his own backyard. "This may be true . . . but the variation in circunurtances is so great that there is rtnlv one reallv safe rule for their use—don’t use them.” The council ureed parents no* even to allow their children to rare their midget cars on supervised tracks.

Vice President Nixon To Visit Soviet Russia WASHINGTON (UPD—A giant jet airliner accompanying Vice President Richard M. Nixon to Russia next week is expected to try to better the New York-to-Moscow flight time of Soviet First Deputy Premier Frol R. Kozlov. A Soviet TUI 14 jet-prop last Monday returned Kozlov to Moscow non-stop in 9 hours and 48 minutes. Nixon’s plane is not likely to be aiming for any records. That effort, it was learned today, will be left to a Boeing 707 intercontinental jet which will carry Nixon’s press group nonstop from New York City’s Idlewild Airport to Moscow. Nixon Plane to Refuel The Vice President himself is to leave Baltimore’s Friendship Airport in a different type of Boeing airliner—a military version of the standard 707 now making daily trans-Atlantic commercial flights. Nixon’s plane is expected to make a refueling stop at Keflavik, Iceland. Both the press plane, which Will have at least 56 passengers plus crew, and the vice president’s 1 craft probably will depart next Wednesday evening. Nixon is going to Russia to open the American exhibit in Moscow and tour the Soviet Union. — Nixon announced Tues day night that Vice Adm. Hyman G. Rickover, “father” of U. S. nuclear submarine development, would accompany him on the forthcoming trip. Atomic Inspection Planned The vice president explained that he expected to have a chance in Russia to inspect Soviet atomic developments in both commercial power and ship propulsion. The unorthodox admiral may have won the trip by his verbal prowess during several pointed ■ exchanges with Kozlov last week at the Shippingport, Pa., atomic power station. Rickover told the ■ Soviet official, through an inter- ’ preter: “It's all right to talk ’ about peace. Now you go home ■ and do something about it.” The peppery Rickover was > credited by observers with coming off with the honors in the battle of words with Kozlov. 1 The vice president’s official - party, besides Rickover, includes . U. S. Information Agency director , George V. Allen Foy D. Kohler, i deputy assistant secretary of ■ state for European affairs, and 15 members of the President's I advisory committee on the Mos- , cow exhibit. Dr. Milton Eisenhower, brother of the President, \ is one of the committee members. Kozlov indicated at Shippingport that Nixon would have a chance to see a new atomic powered Soviet icebreaker during the tour. He even remarked that Rickover should come along. > ■ Defense By Neutron Cloud Is Suggested WASHINGTON (UPD—A Russian scientist suggests the possi--1 bility of a “neutron cloud” defense against nuclear missiles. Neutrons are subnuclear parti- • cles which trigger and susatin the i fission chain reaction of atomic bombs or engines. They are generated in large numbers by A- ! bomb explosions and in vastly , larger numbers by hydrogen blasts. ■Die suggestion that they could serve as traps for missiles was made by Prof. F. Rubkin of Moscow in an article, translated and published here, on nuclear explosions in space. It is known that neutrons loosed above the atmosphere would last longer and range farther than such particles released where they would be impeded or absorbed by air molecules. U.S. scientists, however, nave discounted the idea that high-al-titude H-bomb explosions could be used to spread a neutron shell which would trigger the nuclear warheads of incoming missiles. Rubkin agreed .such neutrons would not explode the warhead. But he said they would start premature reactions in its fissionable plutonium or uranium - 235 which therepon would heat up and melt. If the missile had an atomic engine, the same thing would happen to it, he said. American scientists contend it would take a prohibitive number of space explosions to create neutron clouds of sufficient density and life to provide a defensive shield for any large segment of the sky. U.S. high altitude shots in the Pacific and south Atlantic last year did, however, establish the feasibility of creating electronic belts around the earth which would disrupt communications and at the same time generate a radiation hazard for unshielded satellite pilots. This is totally different from Rybkin’s “neutron cloud,” however, and would have no effect upon a nuclear warhead in a missile nose cone.

Articles Inform Public Os Services Os Lawyer

(Editor’s note: This is another in a series of articles presented as a public service by the Adams county bar asociation. These articles are not intended to answer individual problems which require specific advice.) The Law Os Names Are there any legal restrictions placed upon your choosing a name for your business or corporation? Must you go to court to change your name? Is a contract or will x invalid if your name is misspelled or if your middle initial is wrong? Perbnsal Names At birth, most of us receive two or three names, a “given” or “first” name, a “middle” name, and a “family” or "surname.” In law, the middle name is relatively unimportant, and if used erroneously will ordinarily have no effect upon the validity of a legal document. Errors in the use of the given or family names, however, may be more serious, and cause the instrument to be unenforceable in court. However, such mistakes are not necessarily fatal, and if it' can be proved that the name was mistakenly used with intent to identify a particular person, courts may enforce the document. For example, if the will of Ebenezer Carriage leaves SI,OOO to my old friend and horseshoe partner, Harry Smith, Harry Brown may be able to collect the money if he can prove that Ebenezer made a mistake in writing “Smith” instead of "Brown.” If the document were a contract, Harry may ask the court to correct the error, and then attempt to enforce the contract as correced. A married woman properly identifies herself for legal purposes by using her own given name and her husband’s surname, for example, “Mrs. Ruth Carey.” Changing Personal Names Indiana law provides a simple and speedy procedure for changing personal names. The proceeding is Noled Blues Singer Dies This Morning NEW YORK (UPl)—Blues singer Billie Holiday died early today in Metropolitan, Hospital after a long illness. She was 44. Miss Holiday entered the hospital May 31 in serious condition with several ailments. Death, which came at 3:20 am. e.d.t., today, was caused by “congestion of the lungs, complicated by failure of the heart,” an associate said. Her husband, Louis McKay, had been with her until a few moments before her death, the hospital said. The Negro singer, who had hit the top of her profession, then fell to the depths in the throes of narcotics addiction, was said to have licked the habit and to have been on her way back when, in the words of her booking agent, “her motor just wore out.” She had been arrested on a narcotics charge after entering the hospital when a nurse found telltale signs of white powder on her face. Her attorney told the court at that time tha she would “never leave her bed.” Joe Glaser, president ot Associated Booking Corp., said “this sickness is not the direct result of her using dope. It’s the result of a concoction of everything she did in the last 20 years.” Glaser said she began drinking heavily after she beat the narcotics habit and neglected her health. The singing career of the girl who became known as “Lady Day” started in a Harlem • nightclub when she was still in her teens. She applied for a job as a dancer, she said in her autobiography “Lady Sings the Blues,” but was hired as a singer. She moved from club to club in Harlem until she got her first big break: a booking at the Apollo that netted her SSO a week and pushed her toward a nation-wide tour with Count Basie’s band. In 1937 she went on tour again, this time with the Artie Shaw band. It was the first time a Negro girl and a white band had shared the same stage. She opened at New York’s Case Society in 1937 and played there for two years. When she left, she was a star. She began using narcotics in the early 1940’5, after eloping in 1941 with Jimmy Monroe. She went to an expensive private sanitorium to try to break the habit, then

begun by filing a petition with the court asking for a change of name, notices of the intended change are published in the newspaper, and finally a court decree is entered announcing the official change. No particular reason for making the change need be shown, and the petition will normally be granted so long as the change is not sought for the purpose of fraud or avoiding payments of debts, and the like. It is interesting that this legal proceeding is purely voluntary, and that, for proper purposes, we can effectively change any of our names at will. Thus, a person may acquire as many “a|ias” names as he desires, for theTaw recognizes that names are merely arbitrary symbols. Os course, to avoid dispute and misunderstanding, it is advisable to obtain a court decree embodying the change. Business Names The law places definite restrictions on use of names by businesses and professional people, in order to protect the general public. Although a person is largely free to give his business -any name he chooses, he may not select a name the ame as or deceptively similar to, that of another business in the same area. Courts usually protect the first user of a business name. Every Indiana corporation must disclose its corporate form by including in its name a word such as “Corporation,” or "Incorporated.” One whose business is not incorporated or in his own name, is under a duty in Indiana to place the name and address of his business and its owners in an alphabetical index kept by the county clerk. These and other rules of the “law of names” are designed to protect you as a member of the general public. Whether this protection is effective depends to a large extent on whether you, as a member of the public, carefully observe these laws. was arrested in 1947 and sent to the Federal Women’s Reformatory at Alderson, W.Va. Billie herself, in her autobiography, said “there isn’t a soul on this earth who can say for sure that their fight with dope is over • until they’re dead.” r Goldfine Puls Self At Mercy Os Court I WASHINGTON (UPI) — A fed- ■ eral probation officer today studied the contempt of Congress case against millionaire industrialist Bernard Goldfine, who pleaded no contest and threw himself on the mercy of the court. Federal Judge James W. Morris said he would sentence the Boston textile tycoon after he received the report. Goldfine, giftgiving friend of former presidential assistant Sherman Adams, faces a maximum penalty of a SI,OOO fine or one-year prison term on each of 18 contempt charges. After receiving Goldfine’s nolo contendere plea Thursday, Morris repeated a previous statement that certain circumstances in the case might make Goldfine’s sentence lighter than it otherwise would be. This referred to pre-trial testimony that Goldfine’s Washington hotel room was “bugged” by a House investigator during the millionaire's appearance before the House influence-investigating subcommittee. Service Refusal Upheld By Court RICHMOND, Va. (UPI) — A restaurant’s right to deny service to Negroes was upheld Thursday by a federal appeals court. The Fourth U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Negro Charles E. Williams of Washington, a government worker, was wrong in contending that a Howard Johnson Restaurant in Alexandria. Va., should have been required to serve him because it catered to many interstate travellers.
