No Petition Filed No petition for a recount was t filed in Blackford county, nor ■ was a 'counter-suit for a count ; i there filed. The Democratic canI didate won that precinct by nine ! votes, 45 to 36. The lawyer for ! the Republican candidate maintains that the recount should be |of all five precincts, The ques- ; tion of whose jurisdiction the dis- i i pitted precinct was in will be! ; brought before the judge Monday, j C. Wayne Hobson, Democratic; candidate, trails in the three, i counted precincts. 341 to 322 behind Richard A Overmcyer, Re-1 ! publican. But originally-he trail-; ed 378-354. by 24 votes, and has; ; picked up five votes. |

47 Disputed Dunkirk’s fourth precinct was won by Hobson 121 to 116, and Shady Side, the precinct in Blackford county, was won by him 45 to 36. Os the votes counted for Hobson, six are disputed by Overmeyer's attorney; 16 that were originally for Overmeyer but were not counted are also disputed. Os the.votes for Overmcyer, 13 are disputed by Hobson, as are 12 votes for Hobson invalidated by the board. Judge Burl Whiteman, who was reared in Adams county and was graduated from Hartford high school, will rule on the case. Civics Club Writes To Sick, Shut-ins The Mary’s Catholic Civics club will write to the. sick persons and shut-ins in the area as their projects for December. As part of the program, they will visit homes of various sick persons and sing carols. For the old soldiers home, the club constructed a scrap book of jokes and cartoons. They also say special prayers during this time for the sick persons of the area. They request of the sick persons a chance to do little favors for them. For example, addressing Christmas cards or running various errands for them. Alice Voglewede, the club correspondent, also writes that the club wishes all local residents a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Two Aces in the Hole BUFFALO. N.Y. <UPD—What is so rare as a hole-in-one? Two of them, within two hours of each other on the same hole of the same course. The first ace on the 140-yard second hole of the Creekside Golf Course here was carded by Ken Iwashita. Two hours later, Earle Hughes duplicated the feat.

TOUHY cl (Continued on eight) :- him ” 5 The former gangster, once rejputed to be the only man feared i, by Chicago’s former gangster lord s Al Capone, only mumbled on the y way to the hospital in a police >t wagon. Police said he appeared bewildered. 3 In the hospital’s emergency e ;room, someone asked if Touhy j I was a Catholic. Someone replied |”yes” from the back of the room, s i But Touhy died before a priest s ; arrived. f) Mrs. Alesia later told police she was in the kitchen of her home when she heard the gun blasts. ”1 looked out the front door windows, saw the shattered glass ; and two bodies on the porvh.” she said. ‘‘l didn’t know what i happened.” I Mrs. Alesia’s husband, a tavern owner, said he called police. *| “He didn't have any enemies,” ' i Mrs. Alesia said of her brother. Recalls Gangster Days 5 j The shooting recalled Chicago’s! ? rip-roaring gangster days when 1 • hardly a day passed without a I ' murder, usually committed with! ’ shotguns, a weapon that faded out! ’.with the Prohibition era. ? I And Touhy’s death presented; police with a murder mystery as 5 baffling as any since the days of r Al Capone. ’ Police pointed out that the use! -of a shotgun indicated Touhy may ; - i have been shot down in one of! > the longest-standing grudges in; 1 gangland history Modern-day Chi-1 s cago gangsters have been using 1 automatic pistols instead of shoti guns. However, police admitted the possibility that the gunmen mayhave been connected with Chicago’s current crime syndicate and : f' may have been hired to prevent! ' \ Touhy from muscling in on pres-; 1 ent-day rackets. e ; Touhy, however, had disclaimed j ; any intention of getting back into [ the rackets upon leaving State-1 f ville Penitentiary last Nov. 24. He; 1 said he just wanted to fish. e Kept Close Tab On Touhy Parole oficers had kept a close

surveillance on the former gangster since his release from prison. Under the terms of his parole, Touhy had to be at his sister’s home early every night. The tfrms of the parole, widely may have aided the gunmen. They knew that Touhy i would be home early. At least two witnesses reported i seeing two men flee after the j shooting; Berth of them were I young students who heard the shots, ran to the windows of their second-floor apartments and saw two men run away. It was moonlight but the distance was ;o great that the chance of identification seemed remote. The shooting climaxed one of the most controversial kidnaping cases of the last three decades. Touhy was convicted and sentenced to 99 years in prison in 1934. He contended that he was I framed by Factor and other un-! derworld leaders, including Ca-

Gerald Wilson, state director of the CROP program, reported that on December 7, 27 of the 50 canvassing counties had reported, and that at that time Adams county ranked fourth, with i $2,755 reported. This was . already the best year in this county since I 1954. when the rural youth helped with the drive and picked up crops

farm-to-farm. $56,270 Collected The total amount collected in the state up to Dec. 7 was $56,270. One county, LaPorte, was complete then, with their first canvass since 1948, and they collected $2,366. Eleven others were nearly complete. There are 32 counties already ahead of last year, including Adams. A total of 50 counties out of the 92 in Indiana are canvassing this year. Howard county is the first to make plans to ship a ’carload I of corn—2,ooo bushels have already' been donated. Shelby, Marion, and Monroe counties have already established all-time records in CROP giving. In 1958, 69 Hoosier counties contributed to CROP. This year 70 have already given, and six more are certain, as they are canvassing. Only 16 are left to organize from the ground up. Every $5 given to CROP provides 500 glasses of milk through Christian missions overseas. Many youth groups in charges are gleaning corn from the fields to get a few extra bushels to help the children overseas who face starvation this year.

/ 1 IK • I I . -■ • 1 81. ' . ■HtJf * SPEEDY—U.S.A.F. Brig. Gen. Joseph H. Moore, above, has set a new world's airplane speed record for the 100-kilometer closed course. He piloted a Republic F-105 fighter at 1,217 m.p.h. at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. The old record of 1,100 m.p.h. was held by a French air force pilot. dows Bourguiba thanked Eisenhower for coming to the African continent “where the people are still fighting against the remnants of colonialism.” He did not mention France although one of the subjects of their talks was expected to be a Tunisian demand that France give up its big naval base at Bizerte and that France end the civil war in neighboring Algeria. Many of the Algerian rebel leaders make their headquarters in ! Tunis. Eisenhower did not respond to Bourguiba’s mention of coloniali ism but he welcomed Tunisia into the ranks of free nations <it won independence from France in 1956> and promised: “Working together for peace and justice and with the raising of the standards of living we shall lead our countries to better destinies ”
