State 111-Prepared In Disaster Event Inadequacy Shown In Civil Defense INDIANAPOLIS UP — A recent tornado warning showed Indiana is poorly prepaied to cope with disaster. Frederick T. Cretors, state civil defense director, said the March 12 tornado “blue warning” showed inadequacies in some counties which "could have disastrous effects on the state’s defense.” The night warning was-'issued when weathermen said conditions were favorable for development of a tornado in a 60-mile-wide area centered by U. S. 40 between Indianapolis a'nd Terre Haute. NO tornado developed. Os 14 counties in the probable tornado path, Cretors said, two — — and Greene — had no civil defense and four — Vigo, Monroe, Hendricks and Hamilton — had not given state headquarters the names of deputy county directors. Civil defense directors in Vigo and Hamilton could not be contacted until late, Cretors said, and directors of Monroe and Hendricks never were contacted. Marvin H. Miller, state operations officer, was stopped by two state troopers for- speeding while enroute to headquarters after receiving the alert. Cretors said it was dangerous to speed, regardless of the situation. This first unscheduled natural disaster warning indicated the public is “not psychologically prepared to cope with any kind of disaster," Cretors said.. He said private citizens flooded police and civil defense offices with calls asking what to do.

Dick Haymes Fights Deportation Orders Appeal Filed From Government Order NEW YORK. UP — Dick Haymes and Rita Hayworth asked friends in Washington today to find out who "inspired'’ the government deportation action against the Argentine-born crooner. Bartley Crum, attorney for the singer and his red-haired actress wife, charged that “interested parties brought pressure on the government’ 'to depoft Haymes and sabotage his six-month marriage to Rita. “There are parties who want to see this marriage broken up,” Crum said. Miss Hayworth said sne would stick by her trouble-plagued husband “to the end” in his fight against the deportation order handed down Tuesday by the U.S. immigration service. Attorneys already had filed an appeal of the deportation decision and said they would fight to the supreme court if necessary to reverse it. Crum said the case might be tied up in court for as long as four years. The appeal is scheduled to be heard within GO to 90 days by the board of immigration appeals in Washington. A suit also is pending in U.S. circuit court in San Francisco which would outlaw the deportation action on the ground it violates a U.S.-Argentina treaty giving citizens of both nations equal rights to come and go. Crum said Rita had asked her “old friend” Sen. William Langer of North Dakota to obtain justice department files which would show who “inspired” the action against Haymes. Langer, a Republican, is chairman of the powerful senate Judiciary committee. Immigration officials ruled Tuesday that Haymes forfeited his right to live in the United States when he made a trip to Hawaii last June during his courtship of Rita. Under the McCarran-Walter immigration act, the order stated, Haymes could not re-enter the country legally. This was because he had filed an application for draft exemption during World War II as a citizen of a neutral country, Argentina, thereby giving up any future claim to U.S. citizenship, the order said.
