Drought Is Posing Serious Crop Threat Severe Drought Os 1953 Is Continuing Uy UNITED PRESS The severe drought of 1953 has continued into the winter in many areas and poses a serious threat to crops, a survey showed today. ■ Nebraska experienced its driest January since 1900 and the second driest on redbrd. Other drought areas include southern lowa, northern Missouri, Kansas, portions of Illinois and Indiana, and California. But crop experts said good spring rains could restore the soil ruois.ure and wipe_ out the drop threat in most of the dry sections. Some states stricken by drought last summer have shown marked improvement, the survey showed. Among these are Texas and Kentucky. But in the midwestern drought belt, many farmers have had to huul water for their livestock, and some small towns have been plagued by shortages. In lowa, the nation’s No. I corn state. January precipitation oVer most of the state amounted to 25 percent of normal or less. Only iu the northeastern corner did moisture total 50 percent o' normal. Streams, wells and ponds have dried up in southern and central iowa. ♦ Kansas, the nation's breadbasket, experienced its fourth driest January and had no measurable rainfall during the first two weeks of February. January precipitation was 0.13 inch, a fifth of normal. Crop experts said, the winter wheat crop in Kansas has come through the winter fairly well but urgently needy moisture to begin spring growth. W. C. Chepil, U.S. agriculture department specialist, warned that the state could suffer another "dust bowl" unless soil is kept under protective cover. In Illinois, crop statistician J.A. Jwing said farmers had “little or .0” surplus subsoil moisture on ,zhich to draw, and many are haulng in water. A mid-January report by the state water survey division said 11 cities and towns had or soon would face water shortages in the outhern half of the state. The Indiana conservation dereported the state’s irtoisture situation "critical’ for his time of Southeastern r.diana was hardest hit, and many ’armers there were hauling water for their livestock. Special Interest Course Is Offered Will Offer Series On World Affairs Interested persons are urged to s enroll in the new extension special interest course, "World affairs are your affairs,’^ 1 sponsored by the Adams county home demonstration association and the Adams county rural youth. Two class sections are planned —one for the convenience of homemakers to meet Tuesday afternoons, 1:30 to 3 p. m.; and one tor young adults to meet Tuesday evenings, T:3W~pT®” The meetings are scheduled for the Decatur public library meeting room on March 2,9, 16, 23, 30; April 13 and 27; and May 4, 18, 25. A fee will : be collected from earth class member at the first meeting to pay for books and material that he will need. This will not exceed 51.75. Viewed will be a selected film, shown at <£e start of each meeting, a short 'uvotion picture brings out the important facts about the country being capsidered. These films, especially selected soy this program series, add group member's fund of into*’fli a -tion and give people of differuul baekgiouhds” -p common experience against which to project tfceir points of view. Some of the movies are: ’’Farmers of India”; Japan and Democ-racy;-“lran in Crisis’’;-"Tito, New Ally?”; "Challenge in Nigeria”; and "World Trade for Better. Living”. Enrollment forms are available troap home demonstration members. rural youth members, the Decatur public library and the extension office.

State Solons Map Plans For 1955 Assembly Investigation Os Toll Road Board; Study Os Schools INDI ANA POOJis UP — An investigation of Indiana's toll road commission and study of overcrowded conditions in schools was mapped <by state legislators. They took steps to prepare remedial legislation for submission to the 1955 general assembly. Some said the toll roal study would cur 6 the commission’s powers. An attack on the commission lost some of- its punch Tuesday and resulted only in a Democrat lawmaker “needling” highway commission chairman Albert J. Wedeking and a 'Republican spokesman for Governor Craig defending him. About 60 legislators sat in on the second monthly meeting of the legislative advisory commission. Lt. Gov. Harold Handley then appointed two Indianapolis Republicans as chairmen of committees they‘will form to study highways and schools.

.Sen. Robert L. Brokenburr will investigate highways, including the toll road group, and Sen. Hoyt Moore, Sr., will head the school investigation. Biggest critic of Wedeking, who recently became the toll road's |25,000-a-year executive director and announced he will serve as highway chief without pay, was Sen. Waren Martin, Jr., Jeffersonville, acting senate minority leader. Martin told newsmen he wanted a special legislative session to limit the toll road commsision's powers, but he made no mention of it to lawmakers. Instead, he asked what Wedeking did in “spare time 'between both your I jobs.” Replied Wedeking: "1 usually go to sleep . . . and I sleep well.” Wedeking, tabbed by Governor Craig for replacement as highway chief, defended the location of the east-west toll ■ road across Northern Indiana. He said two engineering firms agreed the route was the best money-maker. Complaints from city officials and land-owners about the route are being studied iby engineers, > Wedeking said, “’but if the wishes of the people were always followed and. if every hearing was held that i was requested, there never would i be a toll road.” banker and the commission's vicechairman, urged that construction : of the superhighway be speeded, i because interest costs mount by 31 cents per second. Sen. Roy Conrad R-MOnticello defended the commission's salary scales. A recognized spokesman for Craig, Conrad said the toll road is privately financed, involves no tex - money, and pays much smaller salaries than those paid by similar utilities. Rep. Richard B. Fishering RFort Wayne urged the legislature to consider limiting salaries paid to toll road officials andlimiting toll road routes to those serving the public’s wishes, not routes picked solely for potential reve- .. nuea. — Wedeking had two proposals for study in the 1955 session. If the federal government cuts its gasoline tax % cent per gallon as suggested. he said, Indiana should increase its tax the same amount to gain about five .million dollars more per year 'for highway construction. He also suggested Indiana might return about 16 million dollars ter the highway department from its' general'fund surplus. That amount-; was “diverted” from highway use' in the depression years, he said. The toll read commission, meanwhile. reported a center line for the upstate high way has been .staked on about half -the 156-mlle route. Negotiating for right-of-way was expected to start by next week. • The commission reported it will t hire J. E, Greiner Co., Baltimore, i consulting engineers for the up-1 state road, to do similar pralimi- • nary surveys on a proposed northsouth toll road. If such a route proves feasible, bonds may be sold early next year. This project might cost 500 I million dollars, whereas the upstate toll road will cost 280 millon 1 dollars.

Roosevelt's Wife On Witness Stand Supports Claim For Temporary Alimony PASADENA, Calfi. UP — Mrs. Rpmelle Roosevelt takes the witness stand again today to support her claim that she needs $3,500 a month temporary alimony from her estranged husband, James Roosevelt The attractive former nurse, who has accused the son of the late President Roosevelt with infidelity with a dozen women, testified Tuesday that her husband took dividends from her stock and placed them in his own bank account. She also charged that Roosevelt sold her engagement ring but that she never received another ring which he indicated he had bought to replace it. Judge Kurt Kauffman said he would probably announce today at the conclusion of the hearing his decision on such “pressing matters” as child visitation rights, child custody and “house payments.” The couple—have three children. , _ . - Kauffman added, however, he would take under advisement the support issue and announce his decision in a few days. Mrs. Roosevelt -testified about the dividends' when she was recalled to the stand Tuesday for cross examination by Roosevelt's attorney, Samuel B. Picone. L “As the.dividendscame in,” she said, “Mr. Roosevelt was supposed to put them in my bank account : under my-name: -They'were to be reinvested in other securities. • “But I learned some months ago that he had placed the dividends in his account, not mine, without my consent.” She made the accusation as Pi-
