One of the notes in the diary reads: 8 “Our attack should be directed at enemy weakness. Although the military. services are primarily concerned with military weapons and methods, we must understand that this war is total war and is fought with all weapons. “We must learn that in this war it is fair to hit below the! belt.” ; Other extracts refer to Grow's desire for “action” such as “27 Mar., 1951—Threw a minor bombshell by reading our paper which definitely estimated action] this year or before July, 1952, by all forms of warfare, including!

The remonstrances that the soft-spoken former chief never woud make to politicians who demoted him and tried unsucs cessfully to smear him in recent months came to them today

from the pulpit.

In his sermon, the Rev. Fr. |& Ralph Pfau, former pastor of St. Anthony's, never mentioned politics or the demotion and suspension of Chief O'Neal last

Christ, ‘went about about doing

good’.” The priest said that Christ had His Palm Sunday when

those He had helped and the hypocritical scribes and Pharisees acclaimed Him. But he said a few days later, on Good Friday, these same men, the men He nad served and the

- hypocrites alike, turned on Christ at Calvary. : “Jack O'Neal too had his

Palm Sunday, as he reached the zenith of his profession. “And yet undoubtedly he had his Good Friday, too, and those same that he had saved and helped and l6ved gathered around with the Scribes and the Pharisees, and with the “crucify him, crucify him.” “Yes, Jack O'Neal had his Calvary too,” said the priest, In concluding Father Pfau said that at the time of Christ's death He undoubtedly was judged by the crowd as a faiure. And on that same day, he said Pontius “ Pilate, sponsible for Christ's crucifixion, was probably judged a “great success.” ou ~ »

Officer Rofheart said Mrs. Klemm probably hanged her 13-month-old daughter, Margaret, first. Her body dangled from one of the posts at the head of the bed. “She got the 4-year-old boy, Richard, in the room next and hanged him from a bedpost at the foot of the bed,” he said.

Two Bus Lines To Be Dropped

The State Public Service Commission today authorized the

city’s transit system to halt service over two bus routes—the

Sunshine Gardens and the 38th St. and Arlington Ave. lines. The commission gave Indianapolis Railways, Inc., permission to discontinue service on both lines,, effective midnight, Mar. 29. During the public hearings be-

fore the PSC, the transit company said it had lost money on both routes, W. Marshall Dale, transit company president, said: Patronage Insufficient

“We realize this will inconven-

been insufficient patronage on those lines to justify service. However, we are going to put the equipment of the two lines where it is needed most on other routes.” The transit company also has a petition before the PSC to discontinue service on the Mars Hill route. The routes of today's discontinued lines were Thirty-eighth and Arlington Along 38th St, from Arlington Ave, to Capitol Ave.
