State Police Patrol Traffic From Plane Assist In Nabbing Traffic Violators s BARTHOLOMEW COUNTY. Ind. a truck driven by Barton Webb Woodruff. 46, Shelbyville, crossed a white line on U-.S. 31. Right in front of me at the controls of‘a red and cream Hper Cub, state police Sgt. Art Raney of Bloomington started the hands of a stop watch. Just 8.2 seconds later Woodruff's truck crossed another white line. "Seven-thirty-two.” Raney said over the mike to trooper Fred Neal of Seymour in car, 832 up the highway about a irtfle. Raney described the truck. Then he gunned the engine and banked the* plane and we followed Woodruff toward Frankjin. We saw Neal step out of his parked patrol car and flag Woodruff down. The trucker was charged with traveling 55 milesan hour, 10 miles an hour over the state spfeed limit for trucks. "I knew I was doing about that." Neal later quoted Woodruff as saying when told a plans circling above had timed him at 55. The scene was an example of the latest state police method of nabbing speeders and other violators. Sky troopers like Raney circle over an area marked with broad white lines one-eighth mile apart. Cruising at about 70 miles an hour and as low as safety permits, the pilot gets a birdseye view of traffic. Using an accurate stopwatch with a 10-second face, the sky cop times the interval between white lines and then-consults a table on the control panel to determine the vehicle’s speed. A trooper in a patrol car marked with big yellow letters on top waits below to make the “pinch" upon word from the pilot via radio. Sky patrol areas are not marked fully yet. District commanders have submitted lists of accident prone areas which soon will be marked off and patrolled on daily schedules. Only one plane could cover Indiana, patrolling several locations a day. Only weather and emergencies . .-such as tracking, down a cwimtnaL keep state police planes ott -aptrols. The use of airplanes by state police is not new. For 10 years the force has used planes in criminal chases, flood emergencies and direction of Indianapolis 500-mile race traffic Memorial Day. ' Private pilots have helped, too. But tack of police radios in their aircraft hinders coordination with ground patrols. State police rely on their singleengine. four-place Beechcraft Bonanza and the little tandem Cub. Thp Cub is best for “sky trooper” patrols because it is slower and provides good visibility. When Raney assumes command of the new Bloomington post -- Thursday, trooper Gilbert -S,-Holt of Bloomington will straddle the Cub’.s control stick. The senior pilot, Sgt. Robert Myers of In- ’ dlanapolis, iis the captain of the ■ Bonanza. Troopers say sky patrols aren’t sent up just to see how many arrests can be made. They also are designed To make groundlings "understand and remember to drive safely.” ; HODGE SENTENCED (Continued from Page Owe) ~ Hodge was expressionless when he heard the sentence. He made no comment. Barnes ordered a probation ofHeer to investigate the promise >f restitution, and scheduled an other hearing Sept. 26 to determ ine if Hodge had made good his promises up to that time. A second such hearing will be held Nov, 7. ; ■ ■ It the probation officer's report is favorable, Barnes said, 10 yeartl of the 20-year sentence will be suspended. Hodge came here by auto from a hospital in Springfield for the arraignment. The former free-spending poli ician, who pleaded guilty to-state charges of embezzling $637,000 in i phony state check scandal, is tc be sentenced next Monday in clr euit court on the state charges. Hodge has been confined to St John’s hospital under J 4 . - hnm guard since Monday when lie was ’aken into custody by Sangamon bounty authorities after pleading guilty to the state charges. Hs was released from the county jai' seven hours later and admitted tc 'he hospital on the recommenda ion of a psychiatrist who said Hodge was suffering from a ner vous and emotional reaction be cause of the scandal. Hodge’s attorneys said they would advise him to plead guilty to the federal charges, too. But they were unable to say - Whether the onetime dapper businessman would follow their advice. if you have something co sen or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad. It brings results.

14TH POLIO CASE (Continued from I’nire One) cussed. The campaign will be coun-ty-wide and an effort will made to reach every home In the county concerning the need and value of the vaccinations. It has been shown that the lowest polio incidence on a state-wide basis is iri the age group which received the shots in school clinics last year. The. vaccine has proved 80 to 85 percent effective in preventing paralytic polio and authorities believe that further investigation will show an even higher Vate fit protection. Effort will also be made to show people that the vaccine is also proved to be safe. Very few cgsea of reaction can be traced to the shot as was proved ‘n 1955 by investigation conducted by state polio foundation. In the rare cases that do show a reaction, the results are far less serious than the effects of the disease itself. All persons in this area, even those in the south part of the county where no polio cases have developed, are urged to visit their family physicians immediately to receive the shots. Local physicians stated that no child will be turned away because the parents cannot afford the polio shots. Any person who feels that he or she cannot afforfl the expense is asked to talk to the family physician. f* Medical authorities also advised that children who have not h;yl the shots be kept away from crowds, that the rules of good sanitation be followed and that everyone avoid over-fatigue. It was pointed out that it is up to the public to bring a halt to the current polio epidemic. Their tvoperation in taking advantage of the polio shots which are available fs necessary to prevent further spread of the disease.
