DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT Published Every Evening Except Sunday by THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT CO., INC. Entered at the Decatur, Ind., Post Office as Second Class Matter -Dick D. Heller, Jr. President John G. Heller Vice President Chas. E. Holthouse Secretary-Treasurer Election Nearer Just a week from Tuesday Decatur voters will go to the polls to select their Mayor and city council for the next four years, 1964-7. The Democratic candidates for clerk-treasurei, Mrs. Laura Bosse, and for city judge, John Stutts, have no opposition, so their election is a foregone conculsion. Naturally, is will be to the city’s benefit if the mayor and council can work well with the clerk-trea-surer and city judge-elect. And naturally, their political party will be one of the big factors — if the members of the city administration are of the same party, and they produce well, they can be reelected. If not, they - xarL.be.lurned.out in four years, and .either..new mem-. bers of the same party nominated, ora new party intrusted with public; office. But if the city administration is split, both Democrats, and Republicans will claim responsibility for what is populate blame the opposition for everything that goes wrong. The present split administration is a good example. Although Mayor Gage/opposed the sale of the light plant before his election, he has attempted to make the use of the money by “his” administration (all five members of the city council were Democrats) a political issue. The truth remains that Mayor Gage opposed the sale, and then didn’t know what to do with the money. It was the city council, not the mayor nor “his” board of works, that put the money aside, after a plea by this editor, in a fund for future reservoir building. Nor is the Mayor’s claim that no money from the sale of the light plant has been spent any more true than the equally unsubsUintianted claim that it has all been spent. The truth is'this: a large amount of money, about $500,000, freed by the light plant sale, has been spent, along with the interest on the sale, for improving streets, etc., not according to the plans of the street committee, but according to the plans -of the Re-publican-dominated board of works, without consultation with the Democratic council member. In fact, some of the work was done with none of the members knowing about it — such as the closing off of the secondary entrance to Hanna-Nuttman park by the street department. Certainly the streets repaired needed repairs. Little of the work done has been wasted. But there may have been other areas with greater needs, had the street committee been consulted. A plan for street reconstruction, similar to the county paving master-plan, is badly needed. In Don Gage and Carl Gerber, Decatur has two fine men to choose between for mayor. The question is this: which will spend the most time earning his salary as mayor? Gage has been a big disbppmiitment in this respect. And which will assure the city of four years of street cleaning, leaf gathering, garbage trash collection, not just work in the election year? Another disappointment from Gage. We don’t expect 24 hours of work a day from a mayor, 'out for $6,500, the citydeserves more than Saturday mornings, and evening speeches. Editorial written by— Dick Heller

Tom Connally Dies Al Washington Home WASHINGTON (UPI) — Former Sen. Tom Connally of Texas died early today at his home here of pneumonia. He was 86. Connally’s family said he had been ill for some time. He had been living in retirement here since he left the Senate in 1953 after serving 36 years. The silver-haired Texas Democrat was a former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The veteran “old-school” lawmaker steered most of the nation’s major foreign policy laws through-the Senate -during -WorldWar II and immediately afterward. In his later years in the Senate, however, he became increasingly critical of foreign aid proposed by Democratic administrations. He was author of an amendment restricting U.S. participation in the World Court, liiis permits the United States to determine which cases involving the nation that the World Court may decide. Says First Nuclear Weapon By Britain EASTER ROSS. Scotland (UPI) —Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home said today that Britain developed a nuclear weapon before the United States. “We were the first in the field with the nuclear deterrent, and if it were not for the vulnerability of Great Britain in war it would not have gone across the Atlantic so soon,” DouglasHome told a news conference. He did not elaborate. But informed sources recalled that reports have circulated here for years that, although American scientists had solved the problem theoretically, British experts were the first to develop a workable “trigger” for the atomic bomb. The form e r 14th Earl of Home, his black cat mascot at his side, plunged into the byelection race at Kinross and West' Perthshire, running for the House of Commons seat he is seeking before leading his Conservative party into general elections. He defended strongly the agreement with President Ken nedy which gave Britain Polaris missiles for submarines, and he rejected firmly opposition Labor party charges that this nation no longer has a nuclear strike force of its own. Douglas-Home said that if Labor' leader Harold Wilson “is saying this, he is really suggesting that Britain’s greatest ally, the United States, will breakher pledge.” “We shall have the use of the Polaris missiles in nuclear submarines under sole control—when we get them—certainly with complete freedom to use them in the supreme national interest,’’ he added. “Os course, they would never be used unless the life of this country was in danger.” ' Douglas-Home again attacked Labor’s plan to give up the deterrent and concentrate on conventional forces in Britain. He said he wants Britain to keep its voice in the councils of the world on nuclear matters. Fined On Charge Os Public Intoxication Arthur Funk, 33-year-old resident of route 6, Decatur, was fined $1 and costs, totaling s2l, in city court this morning. Funk was arrested and charged with public intoxication at 11 p.m. Saturday at Third and Madison streets by the city police. He em tered a plea of guilty to the charge today. The case was the only one to come before city court Judge John B. Stults this morning.
