Six Killed In Thunderstorms And High Wind Schools Closed In Indiana Monday By Severe Blizzard By International News Service Thunderstorm* and tornadlc wind* which ripped through Ohio left six person* dead and damages expected to exceed a million dollar*. The winds which were clocked at over 80 mile* per hour in some area* started Tuesday morning on the heels of the first day of spring and plummeted more than 30 degree*. The weather bureau at Columbus reported the gales lessened a bit late in the afternoon then picked up again at night They fell off again about 1 a.m. The galea uprooted tree*, knocked down power line*, ripped off roof*, smashed large store window* and disrupted operation* of a half dozen radio and televiaion station*. The national board of fire underwriter* repeated today it expect* damages to exceed a million dollar* each in four states—Kentucky, Ohio. Indiana and Michigan. The board plans to rush additional adjusters into the ravaged areas to expedite claims for damages caused by the storms. Hazard* Lessen INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Rising temperature* today melted = away the blizzard-dumped snow which brought traffic to a crawl or a standstill in northwestern Indiana Tuesday. Damages of over a million dollars were attributed to the gales. Highways in the area still are slippery in mapy places but state police estimated that today’s temperatures in the upper 46s and lower 50s would end much of the hazard by afternoon. Additional snow is predicted tor tonight and Thursday but without the 60-70 mile per hour winds which caused most of the trouble Tuesday. The outlook is for occasional snow in the north and rain in the south. Many schools in the blizzardstruck area were closed Monday because df impassable roads, and other school children, were marooned temporarily! "when buses couldn’t get them home. At Lydick, in St. Joseph county, 25 grade and high school pupils were marooned for six hour* in a grocery before snowplow* battered through six-foot drifts to cleat roads to their homes. Marshall and Lake counties also had instances of school buses being bogged down but no reports of injury were received. To the children, the spring bllzzard may have been fun but to weary highway workers and police “ the drifting snow was a big-sised backache. One traffic Jam on U. S. 31 south of South Bend stretched for six mile* at one time Monday afternoon but today no major roads were blocked. Dunes Park state police reported roads were slick and hazardous in their area, but beginning to lose their dangerous coat of ice and snow. At Ligonier post, the report was the same. In the Lafayette district, secondary roads still were closed, but all others were reported about back to normal. Grant county was the only area in the Pendleton district still plagued by hazardous roads this morning. Other counties were clear. Trpde in a Gocd Town — Decatur
