DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT Published Every Evening Except Sunday By THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT CO., INC. Entered at the Decatur, Ind., Post Office as Secund Class Matter Dick D. Heller, Jr. .................. President John G. Heller ................. Vice-President Chas. Holthouse Secretary-Treasurer Our Friends Across The Border An old friend of the Decatur Daily Democrat, Dent Baltzell, returned recently from a hunting trip with a copy of the Houlton (Maine) Pioneer Times. In it was a guest article by J. David MacDonald, of the Ottawa (Ont.) Journal. We believe it is well worth reading, even if it takes several days to present its view. ” “How many times have we heard someone sum up his opinion of another country in terms of how good he believes its army to be? “A modest estimate would be ‘quite often’. “Now this is something of a contradiction when you stop and think about it. “After all, we parade ourselves as the strongest, most peace-loving people in the world; yet there is an almost unconscious tendency to flaunt our immense success in two major wars in front of outsiders. “Well, we won, didn’t we?” we ask. “Certainly, but let’s not be obnoxious about it. It makes us over-bearing; and even though we may have a right to be darned proud of ourselves, humility is still a lot easier for people from smaller, less powerful countries to stomach. “Besides, we didn’t really win those wars all by ourselves. . , - 4 "If you ask someone from a lesser nation that also chipped in during times of crisis, he’ll probably tell you we couldn’t have won the war without the assistance of his country. “Then, if you listen a bit longer, he’ll no doubt startle you with the suggestion that his army was just a bit better fighting machine than yours. “As a matter of fact, the smaller the outsider’s army is, the more insistent he is likely to be that it spelled the difference between disaster and defeat for the allies. “You see, he is a proud man, too. “And he resents your strength just a little. “It’s human nature, and no army has ever been able to change that.” (more tomorrow) • * • ♦ YOUR BALLOT (Please mail to the Decatur Daily Democrat, Decatur, Ind.; your choice will be tabulated with all those received, and the results printed, if enough returns are received).

Hearing Into Rale Increase Adjourned INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— An Indiana Public Service Commission hearing into an electric rate increase proposed by the state’s largest public utility was adjourned Wednesday to Dec. 17. The sudden adjournement came as a surprise. Indications had been that the public hearing into the rate hike proposed by Public Service Company of Indiana would continue at least to the end of the week The field examiner conducting the hearing indicated that next month’s hearing would be devoted to cross examination and the introduction of evidence on behalf of the public. The rate hike would affect 328.000 Hoosiers in 69 counties. It is being contested by Public Counselor George Diven; the Indiana Farmers Union and the city of Wabash. The PSC earlier refused to allow several REMCs take part in opposition to the proposed increast. Three utility witnesses were on the stand Wednesday. They were Dr. John Langum, an Indiana University economic consultant; Kenneth H. Campbell. Indianapolis, director of rates for PSCI, and Donald E. Gimbel, Chicago, a rate consultant. Langum testified that the utility is entitled to a 6% per cent return on the fair market value of its property. Gimbel attempted to show why the proposed rate increase was directed against a particular segment of PSCI's many customers. Campbell demonstrated the effect the rate hike would have on the financial condition of the utility. Diven and John Raber, president of the Farmers Union, repeatedly jumped up to refute testimony and to introduce conflicting figures. Charges Driving Without License Francis J. Schmitt was released today on $250 bond in Adams circuit court after he asked for a continuance of his case. He was arrested this week for driving while his operator’s license was suspended by state police. The date of the hearing was set for Feb. 1, 1960 by Judge Myles F. Parrish. S.

Research Project By Power Systems Indiana & Michigan Electric Company announced today that it, along with nine other leading power companies, has joined with Avco Corporation of New York City in a research project which could revolutionize the nation's electric power industry and effect a 25 per cent increase in operating efficiency. Key to the project is elimination of most of the turbine-generator in today’s conventional power generation cycle. The new power system is based on the scientific principle of magnetohydrodynamics ( MHD). A small experimental laboratory device, utilizing the MHD principle to generate electric power, is currently operating successfully at the Avco-Everett research laboratory in Everett, Mass. I&M has joined this group in keeping with its policy of constantly striving to develop new and more efficient methods for producing electricity. Previously, I&M joined other such research groups to study the feasibility of producing economical nuclear power. The ten ftiidwest and eastern utilities will be represented by American Electric Power Service Corporation, as agent, in carrying out the joint research project with Avco. The project upon which the group has embarked will explore the feasibility of obtaining electric power from a “hot gas”—or magnetohydrodynamic — generator. In a conventional electric power plant a solid coil of wire, or armature, passes through a magnetic field to produce electricity. In the MHD generator a superheated, ionized gas is substituted for the armature, eliminating much of the heavy and costly equipment of a conventional system. M a g n etohydrodynamic studies have been conducted for more than ten years by personnel now at the Avco-Everett research laboratory. Preliminary investigations indicate that a system using the MHD generator can produce 25 per cent more electric power per BTU than existing power generation systems, while considerably simpler in cpncept. At present, two types of power plants are being studied in conjunction with magnetohydrodynamic generators. One would use a coal-fired furnace to heat and ionize the gas entering the magnetic field of the MHD generator; the other would use a nuclear reactor for the same purpose. “This joint research venture,” Philip Sporn, president of I&M. said, “represents some highly intriguing and exciting possibilities. Not only does it appear conceivable that a magnetohydrodynamic power plant may be developed and built at a competitive cost, but it also appears that it will make possible much greater efficiences of operation than we now know and open a wide avenue of prospects for future improvements. “We hope to obtain,” he continued, “a practical evaluation of the potential gains of magnetohydrodynamics as well as any possible problems during the study period upon which our group is embarking with Avco.” The other nine utilities joining with I&M in this research group include: Appalachian Power Company. Roanoke, Va.; Central Illinois Light Company, Peoria, Ill.: The Dayton Power and Light Company, Dayton, Ohio; Illinois Power Company, Decatur, Ill.; Indianapolis Power and Light Company, Indianapolis; Kansas City Power & Light Company, Kansas City, Mo.; Louisville Gas and Elec-

Retiring Secretary Os Lodge Is Honored By Moose Members The Decatur Moose lodge conducted a banquet Saturday night honoring Ernest J. Worthman, secretary of the lodge for 15 years, and who recently announced his resignation at the age of 65. Two hundred and fifty members and their wives attended. The dinner was prepared by the Women of the Moose. The principal speaker was Moose state director, Crawford H. Barker, of Frankfort. Worthman was presented with a gold watch by Gov. Anthony Baker in honor of his 15 years of faithful service in the local Moose lodge. Worthman and his wife, Hattie, plan to move to South Carolina in the near future to be with their daughter and son-in-law. To fill the office of secretary, the board of officers nominated two candidates and in a duly and regular called meeting Dan G. Christen was elected and has as- ■ sumed the duties of secretary of the local Moose lodge, subject to the confirmation of the supreme ’ council at Mooseheart.
