driver of the truck, was treated for bruises to the upper left leg and right shoulder. Harry Krinn, 45. Marion, a passenger, received I abrasions to the head and right shoulder. Both w»re treated and > released at the Adams county memorial hospital. Tegarden attemtped to apply the truck’s brakes when approaching the crossing of life Erie railroad tracks, and lost control of the wheel after the brakes became locked. The truck left the south side of the road and turned over' on its side. Investigating officers from the sheriff’s department and the Indiana state police did not estimate the damage to the truck or to the> contents, which consisted of a i large number of television equip-1 ment and parts. Another property damage acci- j dent was reported to the sheriff’s | departmeht today at 9:35 a.m. about three miles east of Berne on state road' 118 near the David i Sprunger residence. < A truck driven by BJjiine L.

Some Schools Close Due To Wave Os Flu United Press International Indiana’s flu wave, which started several weeks ago in the state’s extreme north portion, has poked into the extreme south. Mount Vernon, in the tip of the southwestern "pocket” area, reported today that school basences have increased the last few days because of respiratory ailments. But none was closed and school officials believed the peak had been reached. Upstate, quite a few schools were closed for the remainder of the week because sickness left hundreds of classroom seats empty. Thg situation appeared to be improving .in the northern area where the flu first hit. Dr. Minor Miller, director of the Evansville health department, complained Wednesday that he can’t tell whether the flu is in epidemic stage in that city because doctors are not reporting cases as a State Health Board regulation requires them to do. He said only one case of flu has been reported to his department since the first of the year, although about 12 per cent of pupils were absent from elementary schools. State Health Board figures in the weekly morbidity report showed only 4,312 cases reported since ■the first of the year, more than half of them last week. In many areas, school absences | were running little higher than ■ normal for this time of year, when ' respiratory ailments seem to hit their winter peak. Other reports from around the- ■ state: . Redkey schools closed«Tuesday | for the remainder ed the week. i Kendallville reported only moderate rates °of absence fom ' schools. Adams County reported the flu wave seems to be abating. St. Patrick's and St. Joan of Arc grade schools at Kokomo were closed for parts of this week. At Indianapolis, Cathedral High

School closed Wednesday for the rest of the week when 40 per cent of the pupils absent at roll call. St. Philip Neri school closed for the rest of the Week. Cunningham and r Orestes schools in the Alexandria area were closed for the rest of the week when absentees numbered about 35 per cent of enrollment. Johnson County schools reported more than 800 absent from nine, schools Wednesday. At Bloomington, measles vied with flu for the honors of top absenteeism cause. Mumps also contributed, and there were a few cases of scarlet fever. Plan Test Convoy If Blockade Set WASHINGTON (UPU — The United States has drafted a plan for sending a test convoy through a Berlin blockade if the Communist impose one. The need for a test convoy would arise if Russia abdicated its Berlin responsibilities, signed a treaty with East Germany and gave the East Germans control of traffic routes to Berlin. It can be reported that blueprints for the test convoy and for putting America’s 330,000 military men in Europe on increased alert now exist. Further, they can be adapted to whatever needs emerge from Allied conferences. The plan as it now stands apparently calls for sending a normal size unarmed convoy of four to ten trucks over the 110-mile road from Helmstedt in West Germany through East Germany to West Berlin. If the convoy were stopped, it might then be strengthened with tanks and go ahead. What would happen if it drew fire from East German guards was not known. It can be said that there are plans for Wester military forces' to establish control of the highway through East Germany if high policy dictates. The increased alert presumably would apply to French and British forces as well as to U. S. Army and Air Forces in Europe? The U. S, Army has about 230,00 men in Europe, of whom 175,000 comprise the 7th Army. $20,000 In Gems Reported Stolen MEMPHIS. Tenn. <UPD —Jeweler Morris Steinman of Chicago reported to police the theft ‘Wednesday of his sample case contining about $20,000 worth of gems. Steinman said he left the case uattended in an alcove <nf a footed lobby and when he returned it was gone.
