Pearl Harbor Day Civil defense day 1959 was observed throughout the country yesterday. “Peace through preparedness" was the theme. Appropriately the day fell on the 18th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. In this nuclear age, we cannot tolerate a repitition of our tragic unpreparedness of 1941. Rather, we must make this nation so strong it cannot be defeated. A nation that cannot be defeated is not likely to be attacked. Civil defense is one of the ways by which an attack can be prevented. Jack Gordon, our county and area civil defense director, points out that a strong civil defense must begin with you, your family, your neighbors, your community. Should attack come, the survival of each of us might be a lonely, intimate matter. Our lives, and those of our families, might well depend on the preparation we make now. It's too late to start yesterday, but we can start today. Start right now in your own home. Make sure that it provides adequate protection against radioactive fallout. An atomic attack here could kill thousands. And the chances are that fallout would kill far more than blast, heat, and initial radiation. Will your family be , protected? Every home should have a famliy fallout shelter, stocked with a two-week supply of food and water, a battery radio, first-aid kit, and the essential items for survival. Are you Red Cross-trained to be ready for such an emergency ? Every year the Red Cross runs a series of courses to prepare you, the housewife or businessman, or worker, to be ready to care 1 for yourself and family in case of an emergency. What will happen to your loved ones if a doctor is not immediately available in an emergency of any kind ? Are you ready to care for them, or will panic run amuck, killing your family? A family fallout shelter is a real necessity today. A hundred years ago anyone could care for himself if cut off from the rest of civilization. But that is no longer true. Few, outside of a group of Boy Scouts, could survive. Are you prepared? Do you know the warning signals, your community plan for emergency action? Do you know first aid and home emergency preparedness? Do you know how to use Conelrad—64o or 1240 on the radio dial—to obtain official directions arid tions?You can’t buy a package of protection at the superstore —your county, state or federal government can’t give it to you, and you’re not born with it. No, if you want atomic-age protection, you must learn all about the emergency possibilities, and how you can apply them to your own family.

Four Youths Confess Fort Wayne Crimes FORT WAYNE, Ind. (UPI) — Allen County authorities said today that four young men, including one from Ohio, have signed statements admitting at least 52 safe burglaries in the last six months. Held in Allen County Jail were Paul Woods, 18. Clarence Vahde, 22. and Carl Alcorn, 18, River Haven, and David Keller, 20, Hicksville, Ohio. Det. Capt. John Carpino said the burglaries netted more than $20,000, but the four youths had only 61 cents between them at the time of their arrest Sunday. Woods was jailed on a preliminary felony charge. Vahde and Alcorn were charged with second degree burglary. Their bonds were I set at SIO,OOO. Keller was held in lieu of $5,000 bond on a charge of vagrancy. Carpino said the youth first were taken into custody last Friday when they challenged an off-duty policeman to a drag race. But the policeman, Jerry Moore, forced them to the curb and took the suspects to headquarters for questioning after finding $650 taped beneath the front seat of their car. The four were released Saturday, however, after spending the $650 to hire an attorney and post bond. They were rearrested Sunday and admitted the after intensive questioning.

Ike Informs Turks West To Remain Strong ANKARA, Turkey (UPI) — Informed sources said today President Eisenhower told Turkish leadersihe believes the West must remain strong until Russia agrees to controlled disarmament. They said Premier Adnan Menderes and his advisers found themselves so completely in agreement with Eisenhower that one, 90-minute session of talks sufficed to Cover the points they wanted to take up with him. Turkish leaders were said to have expressed concern over recent hassles" among members of the Western alliance and — to Eisenhower’s surprise —about reports the United States might turn to aiding Russia instead of its needy Allies if international tension were relaxed. Emphasize Need For Harmony The sources said the Turks emphasized the need for harmony among Western nations, criticising recent wrangles over Western strategy involving Britain, France and Germany. American officials said Eisenhower’s week end visit scored a “marked success” here. Informed sources gave this version of the talks: Eisenhower began by telling the Turks the West could not afford to relax until the Russians agree to accept effective controls on armaments. He said the Kremlin may now be willing to negotiate sincerely because of the increasingly high cost of modern weapons. Stresses Improtance Os Aid The President said the West should always be ready to negotiate but should never lose sight ' of its basic objectives, such as controlled disarmament. : Eisenhower also stressed the • importance of increased aid to unt der-developed nations. J In reply, Foreign Minister Faidevelopment program, saying that ! it needs more capital support 1 from the “have” nations. Zorlu was also said to have 1 urged increased U. S. aid to Afghanistan, the nation Eisenhower is scheduled to visit Tuesday. He . said the Afghans are taking aid f from Russia because they cannot get it elsewhere.

. Indiana Kennedy Club Is Organized INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Two Democratic leaders announced today the formation of an Indiana Kennedy-for-President Club and said they hope to persuade Sen. John Kennedy to enter the state presidential preference primary next May. - —' * The announcement was made by State Sen. Marshall Kizer of Plymouth and Albert O. Deluse of (Indianapolis, 11th District party ■ chairman. Kizer is chairman of ' the 3rd District. i ■ Barrett Law Ruling Partially Reversed ' INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana Supreme Court Monday reversed, in part, a Porter Circuit Court decision in a Barrett Law bond case which has been bouncing around the courts for more than 10 years. - Th6 City of Hammond was defendant in the case brought by attorneys Jay E. Darlington, Owen W. Crumpacker and the late Edward J. Ryan. The three sought to recover legal fees for services which they said prevented 124 judgments taken against Hammond for a total of $950,000. The court record indicated the city was being sued by various persons to make good on bonds which at first were thought to be worthless but which later turned out to be worth their face value. The Hammond City Council had authorized a $950,000 bond issue to pay the judgments when Darlington, Crumpacker and Ryan obtained an injunction against the bond issue and against payment of judgments on the grounds of “fraud and collusion in their procurement.” The Porter Circuit Court injunction was appealed to the Indiana Appellate Court which reversed the injunction as being “too broad, but upheld that portion of the decision which ruled that the judgments against the city were void. The Supreme Court said there was “no question” that the three attorneys performed a valuable service for the city in preventing payment of the bonds and said they were “to be commended.” But the high court said the fee of $265,000 plus six per cent interest awarded by the trial court was excessive. There was no evidence of how much the attorneys saved the city, the high court said. It ordered the lower court to “fix reasonable attorney fees in those cases which have finally been determined and as the remainder are finally determined ” Burglars Rob And Damage Office PETERSBURG, Ind. (UPI) — Burglars took S3OO and caused $250 in damage Monday at the Thomas Electric Co.

Navy Blimp Is Landed Safely After Two Days LAKEHURST, N. J. (UPI) — A Navy blimp with 19 airmen aboard landed safely today after being forced by high winds to remain aloft for nearly two days. The blimp was moored to its mast after failing in two earlier attempts when ground escort vehicles failed to catch her trailing cables. The third and successful try was made despite continued highwinds. In attempting a landing, the blimp trails two cables from its nose section. Two ground vehicles try to catch the cables and hold the blimp steady until the mooring mast can be put into place. Heist Extra Gas The mooring mast comes to the airship rather than the blimp coming to the mast. It’s a tricky operation even under ideal conditions. Huge bags of aviation gasoline were hoisted to the blimp by cable earlier, giving it enough fuel to remain aloft until tonight. One ground crewman received a superficial electric shock during a refueling operatioon, but the Navy said the in-flight refueling was routine and the big, VPG-2 blimp was in no danger. On Routine Patrol It had taken off Sunday morning on a routine patrol flight over the Atlantic. On its return flight, heavy winds at first prevented it from crossing the shoreline near Seaside Heights. The 350-foot airship took on fuel over the shore and then flew to the naval air station at Lakehurst, its home base. But officials refused to let it land for fear the winds would push it into buildings near the landing area. A naval spokesman estimated

Nancy and Joe Daniels attended the Donald Dixon concert at the Shrine auditorium in Fort Wayne. that 27-mile per hour winds were about the highest the ship could buck to land with some degree of safety. Hie winds were averaging five to 10 miles an hour above that, safety borderline. Cruises Over Base Throughout the cold, starlit night the bouyant airship cruised above the Lakehurst base, with lights blinking on its nose, tail, topside and underside. The gondola where eight officers and 11 crewmen waited for the signal to land also was lighted. During the refueling operation, the blimp hovered about 400 feet above the concrete landing area. It was not moored, but the pilot, Lt. C. N. Davis, of Lakewood, N. J., held it steady by nosing it into the wind. Worry of FALSE TEETH Slipping or Irritating?
