Test Pilot Is , Credited With b • Saving Lives SEATTLE (UPI) — A veteran Boeing test pilot today was credited with saving the lives of four ■ of eight persons aboard a 707-220 1 which crashed and burned on a : river sand bar 40 miles north of. • here Monday. Four survived the fiery crash I of the sleek jet liner because Russell H. Baum, 32, Bellevue, Wash., gave his life in the emergency landing. The 200-ton jet, valued at 5, , million dollars smashed into. pieces of scattered burning I wreckage when Baum set it down on the sand bar on the Stilligtiamish River after three of its four engines were torn away in what Boeing Airplane Co- called a “violent maneuver due to misapplication of controls.’’ Only the tail section, in which those who survived were riding, remained intact after the plane crashed. The rest of the plane became a funeral pyre fir Baum and three others, > two of them personnel of Braniff Air Lines for whom the airplane had been manufactured. Boeing officials, when pressed for clarification of the “misapplication” remark, said that any further explanation would have to wait until after an investigation which will be conducted today by the Civil Aeronautics Board and Boeing. Boeing said their original statement was based on brief interviews with survivors of the crash who were taken to Arlington Hospital at Arlington, Wash., near the crash site. After the engine pods ripped off, Boeing said, Baum “took over and recovered the airplane to level flight with power from the remaining engine. The pilot made a controlled wheel-up landing in the best available spot, resulting in the saving of four lines. The four who survived had gone into the tail of the airplane which separated from the rest of the aircraft on impact." Those who died with Baum were identified as George C. Ha- ■ gen, 28. Boeing flight engineer i from Renton, Wash., and Capt. • John A. Burke, 49, and Capt. M Frank Staley, 43, both of Bran- ■ Iff. ' The survivors were listed as - William AUsopp. Seattle, a Boei ing pilot; William Huebner of the - Federal Aviation Agency and Al - Krause apd Fred Symmank of 5 Braniff. Plan Teaching Clinic [ For Election Workers County clerk Richard D. Lewton, . said this morning that a teaching • clinic will be conducted in the near, future for all precinct judges and inspectors for the Nov 3 election I because of the special referendum of the electric utility sale on the ballot. Lewton said a night program is being planned by the county election board to instruct the inspectors and judges on the handling of mutilated or good ballots. He also said that each of the Republican and Democratic precinct committeeman has been requested to submit the names of prospective workers at the polling i places. When these names are returned, the county election board will appoint the workers at each precinct in the city. Seven mem- , bers must serve, while the maximum of nine can be chosen in heavily populated precincts.

Phil Eskew Speaks To Lions, Gridders A football team consumed with the desire to win, that practices fundamentals diligently day in and day out, that presents a fair attitude toward each other and toward other teams, is an All-Ameri-can team regardless of the num- ! ber of games won or lost, Phil Eskew, superintendent of schools at Huntington, toid the Decatur > Lions club and senior members ( of the Decatur high school football . team. i Guests included the football coaches Robert Worthman, Bill McColly, Paul Bevelhimer, and Jerry Leitz, and team members Jim Gay, Jay DeVoss, Terry Snider, Roger Fuelling, Mike Thieme, Herb . Banning, Larry Sheets. Don Agler, Joe Smith, Jim Reidenbach', and Charles Krueckeberg. Mendenhall Next Next Monday night Murray Mendenhall, Jr., coach of Indiana Tech, will speak at the Lions club meeting. New Lions club member Linn McDougall was introduced to the group. Randy Clifton, son of Mr. and Mrs. DeVon Clifton, led the pledge of allegiance to the flagDqring the dinner the group was 1 entertained by the Melodettes, including Kay Wynn, Eleanor Miller. Linda Jackson, and Janet Miller. Eskew spoke humorously about the qualities that make a young man an All-American. Having known personally 53 All-Americ-ans, he always observed to see just what qualities they possessed. He found that the attitude of the player towards the man next to him was very important, as the All-American tackle who blocked for Tom Harmon always felt that he received plenty of recgnjtion despite the fact that the ball carrier was always recognized first. Two-Bits Myers “Your attitude towards your. buddy is also important, because i this indicates what kind of a man I you really are.” Eskew then told the story about the two boys who attended Bloomington high school, one a great, huge six foot, four inch farm lad, and the other a runt of less than 100 pounds, called “Two-Bits" Myers by his friends. After both had wrestled for Bloomington and Indiana University, both became coaches. When the head wrestling coach position opened at Bloomington, both applied, and finally it was down to the two former athletes, both good friends. When the larger man discovered this, he withdrew his name, because he felt that the smaller man would have much more difficulty getting a good job where he wasn’t known, even though he himself was out of work with a family to support. Just two or three weeks later the coach of wrestling at Indiana Unii versity died, and the generous coach was chosen unanimously for the position. Several men in the audience had known both coaches that Eskew spoke of. Otto Graham After speaking on the importance of confidence without over-confi-dence, Eskew told how one of the great quarterbacks of all times, Olto Graham, on the very last day he was ever to play professional ball, still practiced 35 minJ utes before the game on fundaI mentals-blocking, running, charg- ’ ing. and tackling. “Ignore the never-sweats in the i audience who hoot and scowl and . do nothing to push the team on; turn out and support the team, win i or lose, good season or bad, so that every boy will give every bit of

effort," Eskew told the Lions. Eskew predicted that Decatur could win its two remaining games against Kendallville and Concordia it they would just try to live up to the standards of AllAmericans. 12 DePauw Students Ordered Suspended GREENCASTLE, Ind. (UPI)— Twelve DePauw University students have been suspended for a semester because they attended a meeting of a drinking club known as the Black Friars. Don Tourtelot, public relations official for the university, said the Black Friars was a “sort of drinking group in the Romberg tradition- At least it has use of alcohol in its creed.” His reference was to the Hun-garian-born oomposer, Sigmund Romberg, whose compositions include “The Student Prince," a light opera featuring drinking collegians. Tourtelot said the 12 men—7 seniors and 5 juniors, "were not drinking at the time they were picked up." “They were the ones who came to the meeting of the club in a university building,” he said. “The suspension was for belonging to the organization.” Tourtelot said he did not know how many other students might be members of the Black Friars. He said the suspended men were the only ones who showed up for the meeting. The university building, which Tourtelot did not identify, was not the regular meeting place of the Friars, he said. He said that the 12 suspended students could return to their classes next semester, starting in January. He said whether or not the suspension would prevent the seniors from getting their diplomas next June depends "pretty much on their professors and the 1 willingness of the students to 'make up the missed work. I ■ would say some will be able to ! graduate and some won’t. General Telephone I Increase Opposed INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Residents of several Northeastern Allen County communities today petitioned the Indiana Public Service Commission for authority to intervene in opposition to a rate increase requested by General Telephone Co. < The petition said the towns of Leo, Grabill and Marian were founded by the early settlers and , “have never enjoyed the benefits of a modern telephone system.” ' It said that down through the years, the residents of these towns “have suffered along with faulty connection, 10-party lines, breakdowns caused by moisture, faulty lead-in wives to their residences which are affected by dampness, and overcrowding of facilities." The utility “flatly refused” to improve service, the petition said. It was signed by trustees of Cedar Creek, Springfield, Milan and Scipio Twps. and representatives of the Harlan Lions Club, Cedar Creek Lions Club, Grabill Merchants Association, Leo Merchants Association, SpringfieldMilan Twp. Farm Bureau, Harlan Community Association and Scipio Twp. Farm Bureau. General asked the PSC on May 1 for authority to raise rates at 23 of its 93 exchanges, and to in--1 crease certain miscellaneous char- ; ges at all 305 communities it serves. Hearings on the proposed increase were held in Indianapolis last month and another hearing is scheduled for Fort Wayne Monday.

Rockefeller Speaks To News Leaders CHICAGO (UPI) — New York. Gov. Nelson Rockefeller told a group of newspaper executives today the world’s freedom depends on the nation's ability to step up its economic growth. Rockefeller, in a speech prepared for a luncheon meeting of the Inland Daily Press Assn., said the nation’s economic growth was one of six critical problems facing the nation today. There is a neea, Rockefeller said, to accelerate the nation’s economic growth, “fdr the sake not only of the whole people's prosperity, but also something more: The “whole world’s freedom.” Rockefeller said the nation is far from solving the problem of how to give millions of American school children a good education. Urges Raid Shelters “We have not yet taken full and true measure of our education , problem," he said. “We had better do it fast, or we . shall find ourselves being given a harsh kind of instruction on the subject of what happens to great nations when their efforts become puny ” The New York governor said the people must be educated to build air raid shelters to protect ' their families from nuclear fallout in the event of an atomic war. “I am convinced that preparaotry steps are well within our resources,” Rockefeller said. “The plain truth is that such preparatory steps are essential to deter i; aggression, to resist nuclear J blackmail and to survive an atELKS 1 ‘ ' MASQUERADE DANCE SUNSET PARK [!

tack Itself.” Follows Tight Schedule The press association speech was viewed as important politically to Rockefeller because it gave him a chance to impress a large and influential group of newspaper executives. Rockefeller’s two-day visit was billed as non-political. He attended a civil defense conference of governors Monday and Wednesday he will spend some time with his daughter, Mrs. Robert L. Pierson of suburban Evanston. But today he scheduled some politics on a personal level. He talked privately this morning “with a few friends” and tonight was to dflie privately with a group of leading Republicans.
