Another rainy week was in store for Hoosiers. Rains Saturday included storms with strong winds, Spencer got 2.07 inches of rain in the latest thunderstorm activity. Indianapolis. Crawfordsville, Martinsville and Winchester also received more than an inch, and every station in the state recorded some rain, although South Bend and Evansville at the northern and southern extremes of Indiana had only about half an inch. The weatherman said in a fiveday outlook that "rather frequent” showers would continue through Saturday with “amounts averaging over one inch.” The forecast for the immediate future called for light rain or drizzle giving way to cloudy skies this afternoon and tonight, more showers by afternoon or night Tuesday, and showers again Wednesday. Temperatures hit highs ranging from 51 at South Bend to 69 at Evansville Sunday, then dropped to a chilly range of 45 north to 52 south early today. Highs today were expected to range from 55 to 65, lows tonight from 45 to the low 50s, and highs Tuesday from 70 to 74. For the next five days, temperatures will average near normal highs of 70 to 80 and normad lows of 50 to 61. "Warmer Tuesday,” the outlook said, "and continuing generally mild through Saturday." Windstorms hit at least two Hoosier towns Saturday. Property damage was called extensive at Princeton and Lyons. At Lyons, the roof of the Odd Fellows Lodge Hall was blown off. Television antennas were broken or bent all over town. Power was disrupted for three hours. Mrs.

Mildred Patterson's porch roof was torn off by winds up to 65 miles an hour. At Princeton, damage was confined largely to broken TV antennas and trees felled or stripped of big limbs. > Four Are Fined In City Court Today Russell Birch, 31, of Fort Wayne, was fined 81 and costs in city court this morning, and given a 30-day jail sentence suspended. The Fort Wayne man was arrested on a warrant issued by his ex-wife, Mrs. Louanna Birch, of 115 South Sixth street, who charged the man with disorderly conduct. After pleading guilty to the charge and receiving the sentence, Birch was ordered to make restitution for damages incurred as a result of his conduct. Also appearing before Mayor Cole today was James L. Rose, 30, also of Fort Wayne, who was arrested Saturday for driving while under the influence of alcohol. His fine amounted to 350 and costs, and he was given a sentence of 10 days, which was later suspended due to the fact that his wife is confined to a wheel chair, and that there are two minor children in the family. Jesse Kreuger Friedley. Fort Wayne, paid a fine of $5 and costs for a charge of public intoxication, and Lloyd Morgan, Hoagland, was fined $1 and costs for allowing his 15-year-old unlicensed son to drive his car. With the fine, Morgan received stern warning from the mayor to see that it never happens again. Robert Drew Named Outstanding Senior Robert Drew, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thurman I. Drew, of Decatur, was named outstanding senior in the industrial arts department of Ball State Teachers College Thursday evening. Drew, a graduate of Monmouth high school, received a large plaque engraved with his name in honor of the award.

Annual Gridiron Dinner Saturday Opposing Senators Trade Party Slurs INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Sens. William F. Knowland (R-Calif.) and Richard L. Neuberger (DOregon) traded humorous party slurs Saturday night as guests of honor at the annual gridiron dinner of the Indianapolis Press Club. Both speakers discussed differences within the GOP, but each took a different view. Knowland told the gathering the differences within the Republican Party weren’t half so bad as differences among the Democrats. His remark came after “roastmaster" G. Richard Ellis of Kokomo had introduced Knowland as "a member of the Republican faction of the Republican Party." Knowland said there could be no greater diversity in any party than that between Sens. Wayne L. Morse of Oregon and Harry F. Byrd of Virginia, both Democrats, Neuberger followed Knowland to the speaker’s stand and referred to Indiana Gov. Harold Handley and President Eisenhower as Republican leaders "both with fantastic budgets.” Switching to the differences within the GOP, Neuberger said “modern” Republicans merely vote against progressive legislation, while "Old Guard” Republicans “both speak and vote.” “A modem Republican is a member of Congress who votes against liberal legislation with profound sorrow and regret,” Neuberger said. A highlight of the evening banquet came when a bevy of models paraded through the ranks of politicians, including Handley, with signs referring to the Indiana highway scandal which has resulted in a congressional investigation. The signs said such things as: "The Toll Road Isn’t a Highway. It’s a Way of Life.” “Are you an Ike or Edgar Republican?” “Handley Didn't Think "Die Gross Income Tax Was Gross Enough." " “I’d rather be right-of-way agent than President.” “A modern Republican is a conservative who's so liberal he’s radical.” The Rev. Robert Gingery, New Albany, gave the invocation at the dinner and also flipped the coin which decided that Knowland would speak ahead of Neuberger. Gingery is the Methodist minister who shot and killed a bank bandit who fatally wounded a state trooper last March 18. The club inaugurated an annual award to an outstanding Hoosier newspaper editor as the "Indiana Editor of the Year.” Drysdale Brannon, editor of the Marion Chronicle-Leader Tribune, was presented the 1957 award by club president Edward W. Cotton. — -j Hugh French Dies Suddenly Saturday Hugh French, 68, Wells county farmer residing on Geneva route l, died unexpectedly at 2:30 p. m. Saturday While driving his car in Montpelier.
