Governor May Aid Lake County School Face Shutdown Due To Lack Os Funds INDIANAPOLIS ffl — Governor Handley today set aside $30,000 1 from a contingency fund to help ' alleviate a financial crisis which < threatened to force the closing of ’ schools in Lake County’s ’Hobart 1 Twp. The money was part of a S6O,- i 000 fund advanced to Handley by the state budget committee. Hand- ' ley indicated the other $30,000 would be kept in reserve in the : hope the crisis will be resolved. , ’ i Hobart gets the money as a loan, not a grant. Conferences ' will determine a method for repayment. Handley said the contingency fund as a source would be “dis- , cussed" at a meeting today with Lake County School Supt. Robert J. Brannock, who had an appointment to talk over how to prevent the Hobart Twp. schools from closing Friday for lack of funds. Brannock said "about $30,000” is needed to pay teacher salaries and for upkeep of the schools if they are to remain open. Brannock said the township financial difficulties stemmed from a state law which sets a limit an tax assessment of property. Hobart Twp. collects about $75 per pupil annually for school purposes. But officials said the actual cost per pupil is $l6O annually for grade school children and $230 for high school students. Brannock met with Handley and the joint legislative budget committee Monday, but no solution to the problem was reached. Ivah Meister, Hobart Twp. trustee, said “we don’t have enough money on hand to pay the 30 teachers on Friday unless funds are provided by the state.” State School Supt. Wilbur Young said “there is no other situation in the state comparable to the Hobart Twp. dilemma.” About 2,000 students would be affected by a shutdown.

Prosecutor Seeks Handley Assurance Asks Mrs. Collins Face Second Trial INDIANAPOLIS IW — Lake County Prosecutor Metro Holovachka sought assurance from Governor Handley today that Mrs. Gladys Martin, who faces trials in the slaying of her husband, would not be spared the death penalty if a jury should condem her. Holovachka came here for a conference with Handley on whether the governor would permit the return of Mrs. Opal Col■lins, who killed four relatives, for a' new trial. Mrs. Collins was condemned to death but was spared by ex-Gov. George Graig a month before he left office. Holovachka sajd he wants to find opt “if we can proceed with the trial of Mrs. Martin without having a repeat of what happened when Craig was governor.” The prosecutor said Mrs. Martin has indicated she will accept a life term, but the state believes she should be tried for first- degree murder and face the possibility of the death penalty. The Martin case was mentioned when Holovachka talked with newsmen before his meeting with Handley in the Collins case. The Hammond housewife, accused of killing four members of her family, was condemned to death after conviction for one killings But former Gov. George N. Craig commuted her sentence to life imprisoment. Prosecutors asked Craig to release Mrs. Collins from Indiana Women’s Prison here to stand, trial again at Crown Point. Craigi refused. Deputy Prosecutor Floyd Vancrf 1 asked Handley to confer with him agd Prosecutor Metro Holovachka on the matter. Handley agreed.

Plane Stewardess Thwarts Prisoner Thwarts Effort To Take Over Airliner WASHINGTON (W — A burly escaping prisoner trying to take over an airliner 17,000 feet up pitted himself against a petite stewardess. He lost. The Northwest Airlines fourengine Strafocruiser was 45 minutes out of Detroit bound for Washington with 43 passengers and six crew members aboard. Among the passengers were four guarded prisoners including 26-year-old alleged bank robber Louis Arquilja of Braintree, Mass. He and two others were being taken to Baltimore, Md., to face charges in a $12,600 bank robbery. Stewardess Virginia Buss of Minneapolis walked down the plane’s aisle and unlocked the door of the cockpit. Suddenly Arquilla threw his dinner plate into the face of the deputy marshal guarding him and lunged for the cockpit door, a table knife in his hand. Miss Buss sensed someone coming at her. She rushed through the door, slammed- it shut and screamed for help: The 170-pound prisoner ran against the door and tried to force it open. The 107-pound stewardess held it shut. Pilot A. J. Stahel of Minneapolis told the co-pilot to take over the controls and rushed to help the "All I heard was a scream for help and a crash,” he said later. “But I knew what was happening.” While they held the door, marshals tripped Arquilla and beat hiih on the head with a blackjack. Then they handcuffed him and took him back to his seat.

King Saud Is Given Welcome By Eisenhower Saudi Arabia King Greeted Personally By President Today WASHINGTON (UP)—King Saud of Saudi Arabia arrived here for a state visit today and received a “hearty welcome” from President Eisenhower. The President personally greeted the bearded, bespectacled monarch of six million Arabs as he stepped from the plane which flew him here from New York. “Your Majesty, on behalf of the American people, I heartily welcome you to the United States,” Mr. Eisenhower said. “We recognize in you a great leader of the Arab people and the custodian of the cities most sacred to Islam. We are honored by your ’Jisit.” The welcome was in contrast to the snub the visiting monarch re-

ceived Tuesday from Mayor Robert F. Wagner of New York. Before he went to the airport, Mr. Eisenhower alluded to that snub by telling his news conference he deplored any discourtesy shown official visitors. Saud arrived from New York in the presidential plane, Columbine HI. A Warm Greeting “We were fortunate in counting your late father. His Majesty King Ibn Saud, as a friend of the United States,” Mr. Eisenhower said. “We are equally fortunate in counting you as one. “I look forward to the strengthening and reaffirmation of this valued friendship through the opportunity provided by this visit for fruitful discussions of problems important to both our countries.” Saud responded by expressing his “deep gratitude and appreciation” for his welcome, and assured Mr. Eisenhower of his wish to put U.S.-Arabian relations on a footing of "amity and mutual interest.” Saud said he looked forward to talks with Mrt Eisenhower that would be marked by the "same degree of frankness” indicated by the President in his invitation to the Arab ruler. A 21-Gun Salute The U.S. government Is hopeful Saud's visit here will help pave the way to Arab understanding and support of the President’s Middle feast doctrine. Saud is a key figure Bn the Mideast Arab Woe and. per greatly conferred with leaders of ifcgypt, Syria and Jordan. • Besides Mr. Eisenhower, the greeting party included Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, Adm.

Adjutant General : Criticizes Wilson , Indiana Official r Adds To Criticism 1 INDIANAPOLIS (UP)— Indiana ’ Adjutant Gen. John W. McConnell Tuesday added his voice to the nationwide criticism of De- ’ sense Secretary Chaales Wilson’s remark that many men used the j National Guard as a means of , dodging the draft. , In a telegram to Wilson, Mc- , Connell called the remarks “ir- ; responsible and unwarranted.” "Your statement to the Armed ’ Services Committee concerning ( draft dodging by guardsmen during the Korean emergency was irresponsible and unwarranted. ( Nine thousand guardsmen of In- . diana who either served on active ; duty or were in active units ready ; for call protest this implication ( against themselves as a personal matter and against the magnificent heritage and honor of the [ National Guard,” McConnell said. , Similar telegrams were sent by [ McConnell to members of Con- , gress. ; Wilson’s statement also was ’ criticized by Maj. Gen. Car. O. p Deßard, commanding general of the 38th Infantry Division and , Brig. Gen. Allison Maxwell, com- " mander of the 122nd Fighter- ' Bomber Wing which was called i to service during the Korean outbreak.

Colder Air Easing East flood Threat At Least Two Dead In Flooded Areas By UNITED PRESS Colder and drier air moved into the eastern states today with the prospect of easing floods which have killed at least two persons and caused millions of dollars in damage. A cold wave moving down from Canada sent the mercury down to near 30 below zero in parts of the upper Great Lakes and the upper Mississippi Valley. Sub-zero temperatures extended southward into Kansas, Missouri and Illinois. Freezing weather covered portions of the mid-Atlantic states and the Tennessee Valley. Floodwaters ravaged about 30 communities in Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee. The latest casualty was an unidentified man who was swept away at Rosspoint, Ky., near Harlan. Floods isolated Hazard, Ky., and the city’s business district was reported “wiped out.” The Army prepared to send helicopters to London, Ky., with emergency supplies for Hazard. Gov. A.B. Chandler called out the Kentucky National Guard. Flood threats in Tennessee appeared to be receding, with only minor property damage reported. A 16-foot wall of water swamped the coal mining town of Pound, Va., but Mayor William Jackson reported no deaths or injuries. More snow was expected today in the southern Rockies where 55 to 60 railroad workers are trapped by 21 feet of snow in Cumbrea Pass near Chama, N.M. Twenty of the men have been marooned for four nights because of the heavy snow which stalled their Denver & Rio Grande train Saturday. The other men were on "rescue” trains which were trapped near the pass by snowslides. None of the men was in immediate danger. Authorities said tWo Army weasels bucking the huge drifts in the pass are expected to reach the stranded men today.
