State Employes To Work On Fast Time INDIANAPOLIS <UPD-Gover-nor Handley indicated today that Indiana state employes will work on ‘‘fast'* time next winter regardless of what the Statehouse clocks say. Handley said Statehouse clocks will follow the state law which provides for “fast” time in the summer and “slow” in the winter. However, the governor said working hours may be adjusted to allow state employes to work during nqymal Indianapolis working hours. “I don't like to have state employes harassed and ienced to the point of loss of income because of arbitrary deci»of city officials,” Handley Indianapolis and its surrounding ariha last winter ignored the state law which requires clocks to run ow Standard time from the last -4PHONE 3-3857 FOR “BROASTED” Golden Brown CHICKEN SHAFFER’S RESTAURANT rJ

Sunday in September until the last Sunday in April. Many Statehouse workers compldined because they worked on “slow” time white the City operated on “fast" time. Handley said the 1959 Legislature should have corrected the jumbled Hoosier time situation to | “bring order out of chaos.” Handley last year threatened to cut off state aid to cities which violated the 1957 law but city officials got around the law bv setting school and official clocks on “slow” time while all other clocks stayed on “fast” time. Hearing Continued To September 3 The hearing for the Ray McDougal. et al, vs. the city plan commis-J sion, the city council, and the Mies-| Dawson Realty, Inc., was re-set; to Sept. 3 at 9:30 a.m. by Judge Myles F. Parrish.

Thi attorneys for the defendant:.. Jhcnl j L. DeVoss and Custer and Smith. | all of Decatur, then asked the court to allow them to call the Bluffton lawyers to find out why they failed I to appear. The Bluffton lawyers i then asked the court for a continu- | ance, which was granted when the judge overruled the defendant s motion to be heard today on the answer in abatement.

Five Big Airliners Land Aller Trouble Vnited Press International Five big U.S. airliners ran into : trouble Wednesday but all 177 persons involved got to the ground safely.. Two of the planes were Boeing 707 jets. An American Airlines 707 with 107 persons aboard had to fly past its scheduled stop at Dallas while crewmen cranked down the Wheels. The wheels’ hydraulic system had failed. The 99 passengers of the New York to Dallas flight were flown I back from Fort Worth, where the i plane landed, in conventional pro ! peller planes after a two-hour ' delay. The other 707 was on a training flight from Las Vegas, Nev., carrying only five crewmen. The Continental Airlines plane lost part of an outboard wingflap as it took off, but landed safely at Los Angeles. In the day's most spectacular mishap, a two-engine Capital Airj lines plane veered off the runway jat Charleston, W.Va., skidded ■down a 200-yard embankment and was stopped by a grove of trees. Fifteen passengers and thR-e crewmen were shaken up, but no injuries were reported. Witnesses said the propellerdriven DC3 appeared to have a tire blowout or brake failure as it neared the end of the runway. In London, a Trans World Airlines Super Constellation carrying

31 passengers and seven crewmembers came in for a landing with its flaps up—and made it. The flaps normally are put down to slow a pl ape as it comes in. At Newark, N.J., a two-engine Martin 404 took ott with six passengers and three crew men aboard and then had one of its engines fail. The plane returned to Newark safely 20 minutes after it had tqken off, and the flight resumed two hours later, after the engine had been repaired. Sheriff Receives Book On Practices Sheriff Merle Affolder today received his copy of “Indiana sheriff's manual of law and practices.” The book is the culmination of two years effort on the part of the Indiana sheriff’s association, the Indi® ana University law school, and the ’ Indiana University department as police administration. Judge Donald E. Bowen, of the ren, professor of police administraappellate court, and Richard My-1 tion at 1.U., were the two major figures responsible for the context of the book, along with two senior! I.U. law students. The purpose of the book is to simplify and clarify! the laws and practices which an j Indiana sheriff might encounter. ; The book vividly gives a resume ; of the duties and functions of the I county sheriff. It illucidates on the ! various misdemeanors and felon ies, explaining the penalties and fines correlated to the offenses.

Thunderstorms Rumble Over Great Lakes United Press International Thunderstorms rumbled across the Great Lakes states Wednesday. giving temporary relief to the summer’s worst heat wave but causing at least three deaths and widespread property damage. A torrential downpour struck southeast Minnesota and central Wisconsin. Hardest-hit was the tiny community of Avalanche, about 20 miles southeast of La Crosse, Wis. The Kickapoo River spilled over l its banks and a flash flood swept ; down on the hamlet. One child, about 2 years old, drowned when he was tossed from his father’s arms into the raging water. Police in motorboats rescued I several families and took them to a hospital in nearby Viroqua, i Wis. Doctors said they suffered !shock and exposure. Most city streets in La Crosse ;were under 3 to 4 feet of water, ■police said. Hundreds of cars were stalled and power and telephone lines were down. The storm front boomed and crackled across Michigan, leaving i two dead. An 8-year-old boy was struck by lightning as he prepared to go i swimming in Saginaw Bay off Lake Huron. A Detroit Edison Co. employe was electrocuted while helping to clean up the damage from a tornado - like wind that struck New Baltimore north of Detroit. Two • inches of rain fell in an hour at Roscommon, Mich., and several communities in upper Michigan and Wisconsin were without telephone service after the storm swept by. Repairs on the Detroit expressway system, crippled by a Sunday storm, were slowed by Wednesday's cloudburst. The temperature dropped from 91 to 78 during a thundershower at Madison, Wis., and the Weather Bureau said to ‘enjoy it while it lasts.” The weatnermen said the heat would return. The showers were widespread over the rest of the country, although not as violent as in the Great Lakes area. Scattered afternoon arid evening thundershowers were forecast for most of the country Thursday. “And it will continue hot,” the weather bureau added. r Gives Version Os Accident Wednesday A second version of the two-car, minor collision reported to the city police Wednesday was presented! today by A. R. Ashbaucher, of 626 N. Third street. In his report, an unknown car was first in line at the intersection of First and Monroe streets, attempting a left turn from the south. The Ashbaucher vehicle was moving on the inside toward the north. The R. M. Balyeat car pulled over from the middle of the lane, attempting to make a right turn, striking the left bumper of the Ashbaucher machine, and causing a slight indentation of the right front door. The accident occurred about noon yesterday. In yesterday's edition, Balyeat stated his version of the incident. Loses Auto Control, Crops Are Damaged A teenage Monroeville motoiist caused about S3OO damage to his car, two fields of crops, and a i wooden fence when he lost control of his car on county road 30 Wednesday afternoon, and stepped on the gas pedal instead of th? brake. Sheriff's police reported that ' Jackie Lee Clem, 16, of Monroe- | ville, lost control of his car, near | the Allen-Adams county line about ■ six miles north and' three miles east of Decatur, on the loose stone, , skidding into a west ditch, then Ijback across the road through a ; fence and about 75 feet into a corn , field. The car then veered back through the fence, across the road j over a ditch and into a bean field i some 50 feet on the west side of the road. When the car finally i came to a halt, it wound up back i on the road. Police said that no one was injured, but damage to the car amounted to S2OO, while $lO5 was : estimated as the damage to the fence and crops. The 31st (Dixie! Division of the National Guard which in- ! eludes Alabama and Mississippi, has taken part in six wars, starting with the Seminole Indian War of the 1830's.

Southern Democrats Score Loyalty Oath Washington <upi '-Southern Democrats protested angrily today against the reported fplan of Democratic national chairman Paul Butler to renew the "loyalty oath” issue at the 1960 Democratic convention. Some Southerners demanded that Butler resign his party poet. They have demanded Butler’s resignation in the past because of his insistence on a strong civil rights plank next year and his criticism of the party's congressional leaders. The latest Dixie protest stemmed from reports that Butler planned to ask the national committee to continue the rule adopted at the 1956 convention that delegates be required to see to it that the national nominees are on the ballot in Southern states. His aim was to undermine plans for some Southern states to omit the names of the national nomi- ' nees and put up instead a slate of electors pledged to vote for Dixie party candidates. Sen. Strom Thurmond (D-S.C.), who bolted the Democratic Party in 1948 to head the States’ Rights ticket, and Sen. Herman Talmadge (D-Ga.) were among the first to denounce Butler’s move. They demanded his ouster as party chairman. Thurmond complained that Butler was “always stirring up something’’ to irritate the South. He said "one of the best steps Butler could take for the Democratic Party would be to resign.” Talmadge said “the chairman of a political party should make it his responsibility to create unity, to heal wounds and to prevent breaches. Mr. Butler is doing exactly the opposite. He has long since outlived his usefulness and should resign his post.” Americans own more than 75 per cent of the world's fleet of passenger cars and nearly half of j all thee ommercial motor vehi-. cles.
