Last week's annual sidewalk sale day marked the advent of something new for Decatur — the First State Bank officially opened its sidewalk banking facilities. The sidewalk window, located on the north side of the bank building, will be open each Wednesday and Friday afternoon from 3 to 5:30 p.m., thus extending the bank's operating time on those days by two and one-half hours. The window was originally installed when the bank was remodeled but was opened only recently because bank officials believe that there is now a genuine

need in Decatur for such service. The Wednesday and Friday operating times were chosen because they are both heavy local paydays. Also, most Decatur business district stores are open Friday evening. The 3 o’clock opening time of the window allows a half hour lapse from the bank’s normal 2:30 closing time. The window itself incorporates several unique features. It is constructed of two sections of bulletproof glass. Transactions are done by microphone and an outside speaker is part of the window unit. The customer places his bank book and money is a small drawer which is opened by the teller. The teller then closes the outside opening of the drawer, opens it from the inside, completes the details of the transaction and returns the necessary items, in a special envelope, to the customer. Several types of transactions will be handled at the window, including deposits, withdraws and payments of all types. Both a teller and an officer of the bank will be on duty at the window whenever it

Js'opST' — Bank officials said that business at the window exceeded expectations during its opening at the time of the sidewalk sale. They pointed out that the extended service made possible by the use of the sidewalk window has enabled the bank to better meet the needs' of its patrons and to provide additional service. The window, at present the only one of its type in the county, will be kept in use as long as traffic warrants, including the winter months. Bank officials recommepded that customers, to speed transactions, «have checks endorsed and deposits prepared when they come to the window.

Africa Group Divided Over Ghana Demand UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UPI) —Ghana’s demand for Portugal’s suspension from the United Nations unless it frees its African territories by mid-September met dwindling suppbrt in a divided African group today. The Security Council, debating the demand of 32 African countries for discipline of Portugal, called off today’s meetings while a nine-nation drafting committee worked on a resolution on the situation. The council was scheduled to meet Friday morning. Ghanaian Ambassador Alex Quaison-Sackey created confusion when he demanded Wednesday that Portugal be suspended unless it complies with U.N. resolutions calling for self-determina-tion in Angola and Mozambique by the time the next session of the General Assembly convenes on Sept. 17. The recent Addis Ababa summit conference of African leaders designated Tunisia, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Madagascar to present charges against Portugal’s policy in the Security Council. Although Quaison-Sackey is a recognized leader of the African group, prevailing diplomatic opinion was that he spoke only for his own country in presenting his stringent demands. At any rate, Quaison - Sackey did not put his outspoken call for action into resolution form for a vote by the council. Neither did Soviet Ambassador Nikolai T. Fedorenko, denounced by Portugal Wednesday for “flights of fancy and a long list of revolting falsehoods” in the case, when he urged earlier that the council order the Portuguese out of Africa by the end of 1963. However, both echoed the declaration by President Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana that “nothing short of immediate independence of African territories under Portuguese domination will satisfy us.” Blacktopping Jobs Completed By City Several blacktopping jobs have been completed by the city’s street department recently. The street department blacktopped the alley that runs the length of the Kroger store, on the north side of the store. Also, the Madison street entrance to the alley that is located behind the Daily Democrat has been blacktopped, eliminating a low spot. Just finished is the work on the south side of Madison street, near its intersection with Second St. Blacktopping was completed along the sidewalk, providing several improved parking spaces. The street department is also expected to blacktop the entrance to the alley on the south side of Madison street, between First and Second streets. That entrance is in the same condition as was the entrance to the alley on the north side of the street, which has been repaired. Russia Wins Back Romanian Loyally MOSCOW (UPI) — The Soviet Union has won back Romania’s wavering loyalties with a promise to allow it to build a huge new steel mill, informed sources said today. Romania appeared to be flirting with Communist China in recent weeks, not out of interest in China’s militant policies but out of pique with Russia, which was limiting its industrialization drive. Romanian Premier Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej stayed away from Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev’s East Berlin summit meeting of satellite leaders earlier this month and Romania was the only Soviet bloc nation to publish Peking’s June attack on Khrushchev. But Gheorghiu - Dej joined the seven other Communist leaders here Wednesday for a conference of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (COMECON), the Soviet bloc Common Market. ■ The sources said he came after Moscow promised him he could have a second steel mill, raising Romania’s production from 3.5 to 8 million tons a year. The Moscow-Peking exchanges of propaganda attacks continued. For the first time, the Soviets used the word “enemies” in referring to the Chinese: The term was used Wednesday by the armed forces journal "Communist of the Armed Forces."

Two Drivers Cited For Failure To Pay Two Decatur rural route residents have been cited into court for failure to pay parking meter violations. for failing to pay meter violations have been filed in city court by city attorney Robert S. Anderson on Victor Braun, route 4, Decatur, and Ray E. Gillingham, route 2, Decatur. City parking meter officer James Cochran signed the affidavits and they were filed with city court Judge John B. Stults by city attorney Anderson this morning. Braun was cited into court for failing to pay a ticket he received at 10:21 a. m. Friday, June 14. Gillingham’s ticket dates back to 10:19 a. m. Saturday, June 8. $8 Fine Both men will now be given a short time in which they may contact city court Judge Stults and pay the fines, at a cost of $1 and costs, a total of SB. The judge has set Monday, August 12, as a date for hearing the jcases against the two men in his court. They may pay the $1 and costs fine before that date, but if noL-paid by then they will be served with a summons and ordered to appear on the 12th of August. Fine Mounts If either, or both, is summoned to appear for a trial the fine will more than likely be $lO and costs, or sl7, which l)as been the fine in similar cases on parking violations. Neither marf>paid the 25-cent fine the first day they received the tickets, and on June 18 both were notified they had unpaid tickets and could pay them for $1 at the city’ hall. They were again both notified Tuesday, July 2, of the unpaid violations, but again neither heeded the warning, and thus have been cited into city court. East Chicago Officer Defends Procedure INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — State Sen. Walter Baran, D-East Chicago, maintains there was nothing wrong with the purchasing procedures he has followed for the past 10 years as East Chicago city controller. The State Board of Accounts charged Wednesday that the city’s Board of Public Works and Supply had failed to follow proper procedures in connection with purchases totaling $340,561 from Jan. 1, 1960, to March 3, 1963. The board’s report, certified to the Lake County grand jury and to Indiana Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers, specifically cited Baran and City Attorney Cecil B. Cohen. The report charged that the works board, which consisted of two members for most of the time covered, purchased supplies and materials for the city without going through the legally required procedures for advertising for bids and awarding contracts. The report listed numerous purchases of gasoline, fuel oi, paint, concrete, tires and tubes and record forms. Each of the purchases was less than SI,OOO but the purchases totaled as to kind would be above this sum. State law requires that purchases of material and supplies of any one kind or class totaling more than SI,OOO must be advertised for bids. Baran said the matter is “just a matter of interpretation of what should be advertised and what should not be advertised. I have been in here 10 years and during that time the Board of Accounts has audited the books several times and nothing was said. “Then all of a sudden, the board says it is wrong. I think (State Examiner B. B.) McDonald should have notified me if he thought it was wrong and not let us be thrown in before the prosecutor and grand jury and say we aren’t doing it legally,” Baran said. ’ The report was based on a special audit requested by a petition of 69 taxpayers. Baran said the group was “motivated by politics.” Baran also noted that forms and records were purchased separately by the city’s 22 different de. partments and were not purchased through the bid and contract method. Pleads Guilty To Not Having License Diann R. Gase, 18, Decatur, pleaded guilty to a charge of not having a valid operator’s license in Portland city court this week. Judgment was withheld in the case. Chicago White Sox Recall Joel Horlen INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (UPI) — The Chicago White Sox reversed the baseball machinery Wednesday by recalling pitcher Joel Horlen from Indianapolis and assigning Joe Shipley directly to the Indians. Just three weeks ago the Sox had recalled Shipley from the same club and optioned Horlen to the Tribe, where he had implied a 3-0 record and a 1.72 earned run average.
