Protecting The Records Two incidents have occurred recently that point out the necessity of protecting the records of Adams county. Saturday’s break-in was not particularly serious as far as damage and loss are concerned. What is serious is the fact that someone had such little respect for the official functions of this county as to take it upon themselves to “explore” the court house. There is seldom a great amount of money kept on hand in the court house. But there is immeasurable wealth in the many and varied records that validate the transactions of the people of this county for more than 125 years. Also, in the court rooms, Judge Parish and his predecessors have organized a legal library valued at over $50,000. ‘ The stamp-stealing incident was more than vandalism. It was destruction of records that are a needed part of our every day life. Clerk Dick Lewton, whose office was responsible for the failure of the stamp-steal to be successful, would like to further protect those records. 5 To do this takes time and labor. At present, the clerk’s office has two deputies. They have a full-time job taking care of their regular duties. And each biennial, new duties are added to that office’s responsibilities by action of the state legislature, so there is just not time to supervise the inspection of records by the public. And yet that inspection is granted by the state constitution. So, if someone wants to inspect the records, they are given an index book, and allowed to look around on their own. If they have need of one of the records, they have to sign for it, but without inspection that isn’t available, there is no guarantee that they are signing for the document they actually take. In short, it wouldn’t be too difficult for someone to remove and destroy a document that might be detrimental to them. The clerk has devised a plan of closer supervision of those inspecting the records. It requires the addition of another deputy. The deputy would assist in obtaining the records needed, and register those that were removed, making sure which ones left the office, and who took them. This added deputy would also be able to assist the added duties of the everyday work of the clerk’s office. There may be reasons against the addition of another deputy. If so, the county commissioners should make sure, that those reasons are very good. No one wants to live in the past. But a large part of the past, in the form of legal records, is the basis for progress into the future. As we go ahead, we should make sure to protect that valuable part of our past.

Sen. Kennedy Opens TwoDay Indiana Visit INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Sen. John F. Kennedy begins a twoday invasion of Indiana today in hopes of saving the state’s 13 electoral votes for the Democratic national ticket. Kennedy aides have listed Indiana as one of the major “problem states” in the north. Vice-President Richard M. Nixon rolled up 50,000 more votes than Kennedy in the Hoosier presidential primary in which 135.000 Democrats either voted for two splinter candidates or failed to ballot on the presidential choice. In 1928, Herbert Hoover won Indiana over Al Smith by 300,000 votes. Frank C. Dailey, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee that year, lost by only 50,000 tallies. Starts in Indianapolis Kennedy is scheduled to arrive at the Weir Cook Airport at 5 p.m. CDT, flying from Chicago. He will deliver a major speech at a SIOO-a-plate dinner at the State Fairgrounds Colseim. More than 2,000 diners are expected. Many other thousands probably will jam the building afterwards for the address, slated to begin at 9 or 9:15 CDT. Prior to the address, Kennedy will submit to a taped television interview, to appear on Hoosier television stations from 8 30 p.m. until 9 p.m. CDT. Questioners will be Ted Knap. Indianapolis Times; James Carroll, South Bend Tribune, and Eugene J. Cadou, United Press International. At the dinner. Indianapolis Mayor Charles Boswell will deliver the welcoming speech. Then there will be short talks by Sen. Vance Hartke and Matthew E. Welsh gubernatorial nominee. Counteracting Republican charges that Welsh is soft-pedaling the national ticket, Welsh will introduce Kennedy at the big gathering. Motorcade Wednesday Kennedy will speak Wednesday in the courthouse squares in Anderson, Muncie, Terre Haute and Evansville before taking off for Louisville for a night address. He will head a motorcade for Anderson and Muncie that leaves Indianapolis at 9 a.m. Wednesday. Then he will fly from Muncie to Terre Haute and Evansville. The approximate speech times are Anderson, 10 a m. CDT; Muncie, 11 am. CDT; Terre Haute, 11:45 a.m. CST, and Evansville, 2:15 p.m. CST. Recent polls have shown Nixon in front of Kennedy but Welsh ahead of his -Republican rival, Lt. Gov. Crawford F. Parker, in Hoosierdom. Three From Decatur Enlist In Air Force Pat Nelson, son of Mrs. Katharyne Nelson and late Nathan Nelson, John Krueckeberg, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Krueckeberg. and Charles Krueckeberg, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Krueckeberg, enlisted in the Air Force Monday for four years.

Cash Prizes Go To Federal Employes WASHINGTON (UPI) -• Like heroes in a Horatio Alger story, a group of government employes has found that hard work and loyalty to the boss is rewarded. - Some 189,000 federal workers saved the government $144 million last year “through worthwhile suggestions and top job performance,” the Civil Service Commission announced today. Uncle Sam rewarded these employes with cash prizes totaling sl3 million. The biggest award —525,000 —was split by five Army scientists at the Diamond ordnance fuze laboratories here who developed a patented means of reducing greatly the size of electronic circuits. The prize was the maximum allowed by law. The miniaturizing process will permit scientists to pack five times as much electronic equipment in small spaces, such as the nose cones of rockets. These and other standout performances by government workers “prove again that the federal employes incentive awards program is a success in finding more efficient ways to carry out the day-to-day operations of government,” said Chairman Roger W. Jones of the Civil Service Commission. The awards went to 113,000 government employes for suggestions and 76,000 for outstanding work in the 12 months that ended June 30. Among the other top prize winners was Gardiner Davis Jr., an Army records administrator stationed in Heidelberg, Germany, who was awarded $2,000 for suggesting a major improvement in the service’s system of filing and disposing of records. He saved the Army an estimated $219,000. Silas H. Standridge, an equipment repairman at McClellan Air
