Day In History It WM on March 22. 1850. 140 yean a*o tomorrow, Oat Commodore Stephen Decatur, Jf-« U. M. Naval t <>mmiaanmer. and the <rcateat naval hero ol our country durin* the 100 yaara aeparatln* John Paul Jones and Admiral Farra*ut, ’was killed in a duel by Commodore James liar run at Washington. D.C. Although our city h» named in hh honor, few of MM really know much about this great man. The son and uncle of U. S. Commodore* of the name name, hb 41 yearn were cloaely aimociated with the i*». He was bom in Sinepuxent. Md„ on January 5. 1779, while his father. Stephen Ilecatur, Sr., was captaining a privateer against the British. Well-educated at the Episcopal academy anti the University of Pennsylvania, he refused a clerical life, and in 1796. at the ag* of 17, entered the business house of a firm of ship owners. The next year he got out the keel pieces of the frigate United States. He was on her when she was bunched as the first ship of the U.S. Navy, a ship of war midway in site between a corvette and a ship of the line, ' with a deck of guns on each side. Commodore John Barry obtained for the young man an appointment by President John Adams as midshipman on April 30, 1798. and on June 3, 1799 he was commissioned a lieutenant. • When the United States fought with the pirates of Tripoli, who then were demanding tribute from thoae who passed nearby-, Decatur distinguished himself for bravery by destroying a captured frigate in the harbor of Tripoli in a captured ketch. The battles in which he participated took pbee in 1803-4. He was then recommended for captain by his commander. Commodore Preble, for whom Preble township is named. Both served in the action. He was married on March 8, 1806 to Miss Susan Wheeler, of Norfolk, Va., but they had no children. He did have a nephew, Stephen Decatur 111, born in 1815, w’ho was also a commodore in the U. S. Navy. He died in 1876. No man was ever more loyal to hfo country than Stephen Decatur, the author of the famous toast, “My country, may she ever be right, but, right or wrong, my country.” Decatur was active as a captain during the War of 1812, and in 1815 led a squadron against the Barbary states that finally broke the pirates of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli. that time James Barron, who had been suspended for his conduct on the Chesapeake when she was attacked in 1807, returned to the United States from Europe, where he had stayed all during the War of 1812, and requested «*•«**- reinstatement as a commddore. Decatur opposed this, and Barron challenged him to a duel, which he accepted. Following his death on March 22, 1820, he was buried in - • ‘ Saint Peter’s churchyard, Philadelphia. -

Best Seller Author Is Victim Os Fire LOS ANGELES *UPI) — Hardliving novelist Thomas T. Chamales, a World War II guerrilla fighter and estranged husband of singer Helen O’Connell, died Sunday when he was unabie to escape from his smoke-filled bedroom. The 35-year-old author of best sellers “Never So Few" and "Go Naked in the World" apparently groped wildly around the bedroom before being overcome by the fumes emitted from a burning divan in the living room. Numerous smudged handmarks and smears of blood were found on three walls of the bedroom. The blood smears apparently came from a wound on Chamales’ hand when he smashed a bedroom bureau mirror in his desperation, police said. _ His. body clad only in shorts was found hunched on the bedroom floor Police said he apparently had been asleep when the fire began It caused about $5,000 damage, confined mainly to the living room. Police said the blaze apparently was started by a carelessly mis-, laid cigarette which ignited the overstaffed divan. Chamales, although a noted novelist and successful screen writer, made news in the past few years mostly because of his violent marriage with Miss O’Connell. Shortly after the couple married May 9, 1957, Chamales knocked her down and she had him committed to New York’s Bellevue Hospital for psychiatric observation. They reconciled and moved to suburban Brentwood, but five times in two years the 37-year-old Miss O’Connell called police to their home, complaining Chamales beat her, was drunk and threatened her life. Once she hired a bodyguard to protect her from him. Last Nov. 26 was their last spat. It resulted in four misdemeanor complaints against Chamales including disturbing the peace and battery. Ironically, he was to have appeared in court to-day-to stand triaT on the counts
