ABOUT DECATUR The First State Bank is now completing its first week on the “new” side—the “old” side is being remodeled now, and the entire bank should be completed later this fall. It seems strange not to be able to look over the president’s and vice-president’s shoulders when they are completing loans—the new loan offices are withdrawn from public view for the convenience of the borrowers. Culiigan’s will hold their open house in their new location on the corner of Third and Madison Saturday with plenty of interest for all who attend. This new, modern building deserves the inspection of every person interested in this community, and Clarence and Gene Ziner are to be congratulated for their fine work there. The business leaders of Decatur, through the Chamber of Commerce, Decatur Lions club, and Rotary club, gave a fine banquet for D. W. McMillen, Sr., founder of the Central Soya Company here. The local people are quite proud of the huge silos which herald the largest soybean extraction operation and the largest silos in,the United States. The Soya company has moved in 25 years from a shoe-string outfit to the largest single dealer in soybeans. Most people are interested also in the “soybean cavalcade” of trucks and boxcars which has just started for Decatur. How many people realize that an average of 12 carloads of feed move out of Decatur every day on our three railroads, and twice as much, on the average, by truck ? We understand that Decatur has one of the largest railway carloading averages of any city in the state, and that it often surpasses even Fort Wayne. The reason for this is that one carload of beans coming in produces two carloads of feed going out, totaling three ' carloads.

Expect Nikita To Score U. S. Stand

NEW YORK (UPD - “We will invite you to our parlor but not to our bedroom,” Nikita S. Khrushchev has said. This is how the Russian premier feels at this time about complete disarmament and the thoroughgoing inspections and controls demanded by the West. He recently told Vice President Richard M. Nixon, a group of nine American governors who visited Moscow this summer and other Americans that Soviet suspicions will not be allayed as long as U.S. bases encircle Rusia. He is expected to assail the American position on disarmament, blame the United States entirely for the continued armament race and demand the liquidation of America’s overseas bases in an address to the U.N. General Assembly today. Based On Power Shift The Kremlin’s new plan is partly predicated on the Soviet premise that the balance of world power has shifted appreciably from West to East since the Russians broke America’s atomic monopoly, reulting in a nuclear stalemate. Khrushchev is convinced that the Soviet Union has absolute rocket superiority over the United States, which consßderably enhances his bargaining power around the disarmament conference tables. The rapid development of Soviet military and economic power has already enabled the Kremlin to wrest concessions from previous Western positions: 1. —The sgreement to separate dicusion of the ban of nuclear tests from general disarmament problem; 2. —The Western acceptance of the Soviet insistence on the principle of parity in the discussion of disarmament. The Russians had argued that the UN. disarmament committee was heavily weighted with Western powers which ultimately compelled the Soviet Union to boycott it. Agree On Committee Balance Khrushchev is in America on a modest mission, by his own admission. In his tallfs with the Present, be hop<s tie proper atmosphere for future agreements will be created. He looks upon his meeting with the President as the first of a series of top-level

CHAPTER 33 rtE CAR was registered to Lyle Ferguson. Mil 61st Street in that city. 1 opened the glove compartment and there was a pint flask of whiskey in there about twothirds empty. 1 picked up the flask by the neck with my gloved hand, closed the glove compartment gently closed the door of the automobile, went back to Bertha Cool’s car. poured all the whiskey out into the gutter and carefully put the empty flask down on the floor boards. I tied a cord around the neck of the flask so 1 could hold it without smudging any prints that might be on it and drove to my apartment house. Holding the empty whiskey bottle by the cord. I let myself into the apartment and proceeded to take the joint to pieces I pulled out drawers dumped things on the floor, pulled things out of the medicine cabinet, pulled suits off the hangers and turned the pockets wrongside out pulled the bedding off the bed and upended the mattress When 1 had wrecked the place, I went out and drove to a drugstore near the Crockett apartment house. 1 phoned Phyllis Crockett "Have the passage to the elevator fixed so I can come up," I eaid. "I'm going to sneak ~ast the clerk to the elevators Be sure I can get up to your place without any delay.” I went to the apartment house and waited until a party came tn that looked like they lived tn the place. As they went through the door. 1 timed things so that I entered just behind them. One of the men saw me and held the door open for me. I thanked him and walked to the elevators with him. 1 kept him between me and the night clerk. His party got off at the fifteenth floor. I went to the twentieth. The door of the anteroom was opened. I pressed the concealed button which brought the elevator down from the penthouse. I got in and went up. Phyllis met me. "Good heavens, Donald!” she said. “What’s happened to you?” “I’ve been tn as) accident.” “Donald, you should see a doctor." I tried to grin, but my face was swollen so badly that I knew it was a pretty lopsided attempt "What time ia tt?" 1 asked. She looked at ner wrist watch. “Twelve minutes past midnight” I shook my bead. “I got here at twenty minutes after eleven.” 1 said emphatically. She studied me for a moment, grinned and said, "AB right Now

talks in which disarmament takes second place only to the German problem. While agreement on the cessation of nuclear tests is probable, the reduction of conventional armaments appears as remote as ever. The Russians claim to have unilaterally reduced their armed forces by nearly three million men in the past few years. Since the West has not followed suit, Khrushchev recently said, the Soviet Union will undertake no further reductions. The Western countries have held out against any but self-en-forcing agreements. The Russia of the Khrushchev era is still too security-minded, too suspicious to admit foolproof international inspection of area of potential urprise attack. Six Gamblers File Sentence Appeals INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Appeals were filed Thursday by six bigtime bookies convicted of evading $327,000 in federal excise taxes while operating a huge gambling syndicate at Terre Haute in 1957. The six men were appealing their five-year prison sentences in Federal Court here. Two other gamblers were convicted but received suspended five year terms. Each of the eight were fined $25,000. Appealing were Leo Shaffer and Jules Horwick, Chicago; Philip Share and Irwin Gordon, Las Vegas, Nev.; James E. Tamer, Miami, Fla., and E. M. Wyatt, Terre Haute. The six had been slated to report to the U. S. Marshal’s office here next Monday for transportation to a federal prison. All eight men were convicted during a long trial at Terre Haute this summer and sentenced by Federal Judge Cale J. Holder at Indianapolis. They were found guilty of dodging excise taxes on more than three million dollars in bets during the fall football season of 1957.

tell me what happened to your face?” The telephone rang then, and Phyllis answered it. Turning to me. she said. “It’s your partner, Mrs Cool. She says it’s urgent” 1 went over to the telephone. Bertha said. “Frank Sellers wants you right away. Donald.” “Where la nef” “Headquarter* He says you’re to call him at once.” 1 said, “Okay, Bertha. I’U get it" Bertha said, “I hope you know what you're doing, Donald. Frank seems pretty van worked up about something." “He’s always worked up about something," I told her. “I’U call him." I hung up the telephone, nodded to Phyllis, said, “This la the poUce now," and dialed headquarters. 1 asked for Homicide Department and got Frank SeUers on the tine. SeUers said, “Where in blazes are you, Donald?" “Up tn the Crockett apartment conferring with my client." “How long you been there?" “Over an hour, 1 guess.” "AD right Pm coming up,” Sellers said, "and tell that Crockett dame to fix tt so 1 can get up tn that elevator without a lot of red tape rigmarole, otherwise Hl tear the place to pieces. . . . t think you’ve been pulling a fast one. Pint Size, and If you have. I’m personally going to take you to piecea" It sounded as though Sellers was strangling on the telephone. I hung up. Phyllis Crockett who had heard the conversation, was watching me anxiously. “What la it Donald?" she asked. “Are you tn bad with the police?” *Tm always in bad with the poUce," 1 told her. “It's chronic. Frank SeUers to on his way up here. Better telephone the desk and teD them to paas him on through." “Donald, Pm going to put some hot witch hazel compresses on your face. I don’t care who’s coming up." “Go ahead,” I told her. “It’s a good Idea. Spread a lot of towels around as though you’d been working on my face for about an hour." • • • The poUce got there right on schedule. They were plenty mad. “Wen. well, well." Inspector Giddings said as they walked In, “a nice scene ol domesticity—do your clients always furnish you with first-aid service* Lam?" “This to an unexpected luxury,” 1 said. "AU right, never mind the compresses and the repartee. We want to talk with you.” Phyllis bent over me and removed the hot compress with the

You're a tricky little guy, but I’ve been telling Thad Giddings here that you won't double-cross a guy if he plays ball with you." “Who's double-crossed whom?" 1 asked. Giddings said, "Sylvia Hadley has talked.” ' "That's fine," I said. “I thought she would." "Now then, the thing was just a hundred per cent different from the way you told us you had it doped out, and you knew It was. Mortimer Jasper wanted those two idols. She got erne of them, and be paid her a thousand bucks. She was to get the other one. He was to give her a grand for that." "WeiK tor Heaven's sake," I said, with the best air of innocence I could assume. “You mean that In place of Sylvia being the mastermind, it was Mortimer Jasper, and Sylvia was just a tool?” "That’s right," Sellers said patiently. “Now then, we're coming to something very, very interesting." " “What?" I asked. "Jasper is raising Cain. He says that you planted that idol in his wastebasket; that you bad it stashed away out there on the porch someplace, and that when you came in. while we were all milling around, you managed to get over by the wastebasket and dropped it. "Jasper says that you recovered the idol that was stolen the other night, and that you switched that and made it appear that was the idol stolen three weeks ago, and that then you framed the whole thing on him. He's getting a lawyer and threatening suit against us tor false arrest, malicious persecution, trame-up, and ail the rest of it. “Thad and 1 bave been summoned to the chief’s office at nine in the morning. It looks bad.” I said, "Well, of course, Jasper has to blame the thing on someone—it’s Very fortunate tor you gentlemen that you had mt along, otherwise he’d have claimed you were the ones who framed him." "Well, there’s one answer to it/* Sellers said, "and only one anwer. Sylvia Hadley says that yon recovered the idol she bad concealed m Lionel Palmer's camera." I didn’t say anything for a minute, end they both stood staring at the Ln accusing silence. How-can Donald produce the Jade idol if be doesn’t bave ft?
