Sorensen To Leave White House Staff WASHINGTON (UPI) — The White House today announced the resignation of Theodore C. Sorensen as special counsel to President Johnson. Sorensen is leaving the White House staff Feb. 29 to write a book about the late President John F. Kennedy, a spokesman said. Sorensen is the first ranking member of the staff of the late President Kennedy to leave the White House. Johnson accepted his resignation today—“reluctantly and regretfully.” Sorensen, 35, worked with Johnson on preparation of a number of communications to Congress, primarily the State of the Union message. In an exchange of letters With the President, Sorensen said that having largely completed his work on legislative matters, he felt an obligation to devote the forthcoming months to writing a book about his 11 years of service with Kennedy. Sorensen joined Kennedy’s staff in 1953 when the late President was a Massachusetts senator. White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger said that as far as he knew, no other member of the staff was planning to leave in the forseeable future. Dague Transported To State Hospital Glen L. Dague, 32-year-old former resident of this county, was taken to the Norman Beatty hospital at Westville, Tuesday. Dague was transported to the hospital by deputy sheriff Harold August, accompanied by city police officer Dick Mansfield. Dague was ordered to the hospital a week ago by Adams circuit court Myles F. Parrish, who had earlier appointed two 1 o ?Ta 1 doctors to examine Dague. Dague had appeared in court here on a charge of forgery. r

Sowards, Decatur representative of Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co., is one of 17 agents attending the family protection plan training program by his companies at Columbus, 0. The program opened Monday, and will continue through Jan. 24. The 56-year-old Mrs. bswald "Said that newspaper stores told of how her son planned to write a book and had many notes from his stay in Russia. “Someone has those notes and expects to cash in on them,” she said. Mrs. Oswald has pleaded her son’s innocense since the day he was arrested by Dallas police and charged with the murder of Kennedy and patrolman J. D. Tippit. ’When her daughter-in law was described as being convinced that Oswald was the assassin, Mrs. Oswald said that there was some mistake — that it could not be true. Dalla police announced the case against Oswald was “cinched” even before Oswald himself was shot down in the basement of the police station by self - appointed executioner Jack Ruby.

Carriers Complete Routes Tuesday All rural mail carriers made their complete routes Tuesday, postmaster John Etoch stated this morning, although Monday was a different story. Monday none of Decatur’s six rural carriers completed his entire route, but they were able to complete widely varying miles of the routes, depending on the roads they traversed. Firemen Called To Home Tuesday Night Firemen were called to the John Kohne residence, 711 Winchester St., at 7:50 p.m. Tuesday. A ceiling tile near a hot-air register became overheated and caused quite a bit of smoke, but there was no actual blaze and damaged only the tile. Firemen were at the Kohne home about 10 minutes. Erroneous Report Given On Accident A two-car accident Sunday was erroneously reported in Monday's Daily Democrat. A car driven by Tom H. Allwein of 532 Stratton Way was westbound on Monroe street and attempted to turn onto First street, when a northbound auto operated by Steve Gass, route 5, Decatur, was unable to stop at the intersection and slid into the left front of the Allwein car.
