“I guess my heart is just in dramatics these days,” confldrd actor Albert Dakker on the set of Monogram's initial million dollar film. ‘‘Suspense.” ”A11 I want to do is be a good actor.” Ever since he' was 13, Dekkers interests have vari d, due in no small measure to doctor’s orders., At that tender age, Dekker was six feet, three inches tall—his present height— and was warned by doctors to stay away from athletics, and thus avoid any undue strain on bis heart. Th ’ actor-to-be was living at that time at a military camp, where his fa ht r was an officer. Since sports were forbidden to him, he became interested in medicine and went into college with psychiatry as his major. The picture starts Sunday at the WALKER.

By OPAL L. TANDY This Is Worth Talking About: Sometimes the timetable of news $rets upset and instead of the headlines breaking on week-ends it breaks on the beginning of the week. This happened last week. Of course Saturday night a man got severely burned, there were two big vice raids and a stocking bandit was killed at 11th and Capitol avenue. lie was shot by the prop: ietor, when he attempted to hold him up. Fingerprints were sent to the FBI for a check but before they could return a cousin, Dorothy Anderson, identified him as Robert Webb, to patrolman David (’lark. . . . But Monday was the day. It started early. I was without an automobile so I rode along with reporters from the Indianapolis Times in their radio-telephone equipped car. First Norven Petty. 6516 (’arrolton avenues, tqok bi* wife, BerMae, 2% in his arms and shot her. Then he shot himself. As a city ambulance raced into the drive-way of the hospital with the Pettys. Mrs. Petty died. A few minutes later 1 was watching doctors as they snapped Petty to a white table and shot blood into his body in an attempt to save his life so police could try him in court and maybe take his life. ‘ They ttill may fail. . . Shortly .after this, Henry Helm, 88, 4242 CorOel’.us ave., became curious of what workmen were doing in St Paul's Episcopal church being razed at Illinois and New \ork streets and went inside. He tripped over some lumber and fell through a hole into the basement. He suffe ed severe hack and internal injuries. The police emergency squad was out on a false alarm and the fire department rescue squad made the run and extricated the aged man. An ambulance was already standing by and he was sent to the hospital. . . We had just pulled into headquarters from this run when the sheriff’s office pushed the press room buzzer and we tore out across the street to the jail. George McKinney, 60, 2934 Lockburn street, hail h^en mangled to d°ath by a Big Four freight locomotive near the C’entral State Colony. Deputies sent for the coroner and the body was taken to the morgu°. We came back to headquarters. . . Had time for a couple of soft drinks and the emergency Squad was sent to the Advance Paint Co., where Austin Gray, 24. 721 Sanders street, had fallen down the elevator shaft. He fell 25 feet and is the luckiest man I know because although he was seriously hurt he could easily have been killed. He was given first aid and sent to C. H. ... By the time we got back to headquarters it was coming over the teletype that Carl E. Williams, the missing contractor, had been found and arrested in Los Angeles. . . Then the sheriff got another report on the missing Hubbell boy and squad cars of deputies and state poliee roared out of headquarters again. . . It was getting late in the day by now and I went to the office to write up what had already happened. While sitting there a call came in from Lieut. Harry Hammond that there was a shooting serape out at McClain place and Capitol avenue. Ru-hard Warren, linotype operator ,at The Recorder and J. S. Gibson, theatrical editor, had both expressed desires to go with me on a murder case so I told them to come along and I would show them something to dream about. Warren got more than he bargained for. When the reporters from the Indianapolis News photogiaphed Sewell Davidson and his wife coming out of their apartment Warren was walking along and got in the picture. He is the man with glasses on. I left there and rode down to detective headquarters in the homicide squad car with the Davidsons and Sgt. Michael Kavanaugh and Fred Whistler. This was a big story because it hinted of gang war and leporters from all the papers got out of bed and were told to investigate this case thoroughly. . . By the time this was under way we got a call to go to the Malleable Foundry where a man was supposed to be dead. We raced out there and found Tony Gosnick, 66, a native of Ti^ly, dead. He had been pushing a wheelbarrow near a wall that collapsed. His head was mashed off completely . . a repulsive sight. The coroner came and just as we were leaving a Catholic priest rushed in to administer the last rites. . . We were hardly back to headquarters when an alarm came in that a fire was at 12th and West. It was near the high school so we made the run. It was a false alarm. . . Within 10 minutes another alarm came in the 800 block Indiana avenue, and it also was a false alarm . . this is all that happened Monday, hut what a Monday ... Candidates for the coming city election will be filing soon. Negroes should remember who did things for and against them during the past five years. Important organizations like the FAC, the NAACP. the Elks and Legions should not take partisan sides but should weigh each candidate and then make a slate naming the best men to run against each other. They should say why and give the people a chance to know whom they are voting for and why. But whether you are a Democrat or a Republican please exercise your right to vote, and vote.. Remember you must register first**,. <
