Two other men, Grear’s brother, Sylvester Grear. who was captured inside the store, and Donald L. Bryant, of Fort Wayne, who is also being held as a suspect, are still in jail, having Waived arraignment, and await the calling of the grand jury.

Influenza Cases Increase In Stale INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—The Indiana State Board of Health reported Tuesday that the number of cases of influenza in the state has increased steadily during the past few weeks. State Health Commissioner Dr. A. C. Offutt said 274 influenza cases were reported last week compared with 179 the week previous. Offutt said there seems to be little danger of an epidemic, but he warned Hoosiers to prepare for an increased incidence of the disease in localized areas. He said the most hard-hit area appears to be Lake County. The Type A virus is responsible or this year’s flu cases, he added. “This same virus,” Offutt said, “was the cause of the 1958 influ- , enza cases which reached a peak ! in October and November of that i year.” A recent survey by the National Industrial Conference Board shows j that 58 per cent of all non-farm families in the United States own their own homes, compared with 51 I per cent 10 years ago.

Winter Gales Pile Up Storm Waves

LONDON (UPD — Winter gales today piled up powerful storm waves in the busy shipping lanes around the European coastline for the fourth day and new sinkings raised the death toll past the 100 mark. For the first time since the storm began, Russian rescuecrews were called out. The storm’s force swung to the north after battering Portugal, Spain, and France on their Atlantic coastlines. It hit the icy northern seas—he Norte, the Baltic, and the North Atlantic. The death toll rose to 104 and others were missing, including 5 or 6 Americans somewhere in the Atlantic aboard a new Norwegiandesigned yacht, the 60-ton Edward Grieg. They were identified as Eugene Scott, Newport Beach, Calif., his wife and two daughters, navigator E. Lamerdin, of San Rafael, Calif, and possibly Lamerdin's wife. West of Norway, the 1,719 ton Norwegian freighter Elfrida turned over and sank early today after a night of fatal pounding by waves too big to weather. Its 21man crew was presumed dead, because its position was only 500 miles south of the Arctic Circle and survival, even in lifeboats, would be a near-miracle. In the Baltic, the twin dangers \of storm waves and ice forced the ' Dutch freighter Frean closer and closer to sinking. The weight of the ice, formed by sprav. tipped i the 600-ton ship at a 45-degree ' angle. The waves pushed the I — I IKE WELCOMES Continued from page one i presidential motorcade drove by. i Crowds 40 to 50 feet broad ' jammed some areas. i India’s masses had flocked by ' car, bus, bicycle and bullock cart ] to jam the roadway and cheer I Ike. Those from distant villages ■ had food with them, which they i cooked over open campfires after [ the cavalcade passed. i Street lights were lit when the 1 President passed into the city’s [ fashionable Connaught Place Mar- ' ket area. Strings of lights fes- ! tooned buildings- «, J Showered witn blowers i A sign on the square said, “Wel- ; come Eisenhower, soldier of i peace.” [ Along Janpath' (People’s Road) j a canopy of paper flowers shaded i the presidential cavalcade and ! 50,000 colored lights lit up the i trees and bushes. \ The crowds repeatedly broke i police lines and surged close to ' the man a newspaper today called ! “The man of peace from the land 1 of multi-millionaires.” [ The President was showered > with flower petals at several [ points. He stood between Prasad I and Nehru in the open car, grinJ ning, waving and raising his arms [ in his famous “V” salute. f American flags were spaced ■ along the road on arches and in I pairs with the saffron, white and } green of India’s flag on lamp f posts. [ Also in the welcoming throng at r the airport was U.S. Ambassador t Ellsworth Bunker who is immense- | ly popular in New Delhi and is { credited by Indian officials with f dispelling the suspicion wth whch f they once regarded Amerca’s | Asian policies. Now those policies I are among the most popular. ! Today’s welcome was the bigs gest ovation the President has yet | received, topping even the million t Pakistanis who greeted him in { Karachi. | The President came here from f a five-hour visit to Afghanistan J at Soviet Russia’s back door ! where robed and turbaned tribesJ men cheered him along the road » and an arch of red flags bor the ! message: “Welcome to the Presii dent of the United States. [ Hours before the President’s \ arrival. Indian officials described l the waiting throngs as the greatj est to greet any head of state or i premier since India won its in- ' dependence, far out-stripping the i welcome accorded Russia’s Com- ' munist Party leader Nikita Khrui shchev and then Premier Nikolai ' Bulganin. Prepare for Jama 1 Eisenhower already had been ' hailed by Prime Minister Jawah--1 arlal Nehru for his 11 - nation [ peace tour and India’s 350 mili lions have welcomed him as a [ man of peace. Police prepared for massive ' traffic jams while imposing some of the strictest security regqja- ' tions ever seen. Eighteen jet fight- ! ers of the Indian air force escorted Eisenhower’s jet plane on ! the last 100 miles from Afghanis--1 tan. ! Eisenhower had been escorted into Kabul on his flight earlier today from Karachi, Pakistan, by the MIG-17 jets donated to Afghanistan by the Soviet Union in a burst of Soviet aid designed to plant that small Himalayan nation firmly in the Communist camp. Eisenhower’s visit to Afghanistan was designed to “keep one foot in the door ” He was greeted there by King Zahir and Premier Mohammed Daud, the strongman who actually runs 4he country. Zahir asstfi-ed Eisenhower of his “genuine friendship and sincere good wishes"; Eisenhower replied such friendship was necessary in the jet and atomic age.

water to the vessel’s cargo deck. The ship, with nine men aboard, radioed Swedish coastal stations it was going down off th? coast of the Soviet Latvian republic. Swedish authorities called on the Russians for help. Two other ships were in danger. They are the 200-ton Norwegian trawler Ertnan, which called for help, and the German freighter Merkus, also believed in troubleBut the Norwegian freighter Grete Solheim, missing since Saturday, established radio contact with a Duth coastal station. Eight Scotsmen drowned Tuesday night in a vain attempt to reach the stricken lightship North Carr in a lifeboat. Over the past three days, 21 persons drowned in a Greek ferry capsizing, 17 were lost when a Portuguese tugboat capsized, 12 drowned when a trawler went down off Scotland, and 5 seaman were killed when a Polish ship struck a barrier in the Baltic. Twenty persons perished in individual ship and shore storm accidents along the battered Atlantic Coast. Striking Packers Lose Court Battles CHICAGO (UPD—Striking meatworkers lost court battles in Los Angeles and Omaha Tuesday as Wilson & Co. meatpackers won restraining orders prohibiting violence and mass picketing. Los Angeles Superior Judge Ellsworth Meyers issued a temporary order banning local 200 of the United Packinghouse Workers from stationing more than two pickets within 200 yards of any entrance to company property. Omaha District Judge Jackson B. Chase issued the order curbing everything from abusive language to assault and battery against locals 62 and 605. Wilson had charged that Omaha pickets were responsible for severl “lawless acts of extreme violence.” The company submitted 12 affidavits to support its claims. The meatworkers walked off their jobs at Wilson Oct. 29, but company officials said their plants now a?e employing nearly half their normal work forte ‘through the use of non-strikers and recuitment of new workers. In another court action, Albert Lea. Minn., District Judge John F. Cahill set Dec. 21 for final arguments in a Wilson suit to enjoin strikers from blocking plant gates and barring free entry of non-strikers-Plant Manager C.E. Cairnes testified Tuesday that his records showed more than 30 incidents of minor violence at Wilson’s Albert Lea plant. Wilson filed a $275,000 damage i suit against the meatworkers in Linn County District Court at Cedar Rapids, lowa, Tuesday. , The suit asked $175,000 for meat spoilage early in the strike and SIOO,OOO punitive damages for cus- ’ tomers’ orders unfilled because of the strkie. But members of Cedar Rapids ! Local 3 pledged overwhelming . support of the strike at a mass meeting Tuesday night. Harold Smith, the local’s business agent, said the vote was “unanimous” and demonstrated the union’s “no contract, no , work” policy. Jury Deadlocked In Murder Trial > BOONVILLE, Ind.

Vincennes Recount Reveals No Change United Press International Recounting of ballots in several close races in' Indiana’s Nov. 3 municipal elections opened this week, and a Republican won the first to be completed. At Vincennes, a recount showed that a 14-vote victory margin held by City Clerk-Treasurer Floyd G. Combs over Democrat Frances Bell was accurate. Strangely, Combs was the one who had asked for the'recount. He said he was not dissatisfied with the outcome but wanted a legal affirmation for “protection.” At Elkhart, a recount was under way to determine whether Democrat Richard .Corns’ 19-vote victory margin over Republican Frank Parmater in the mayor race would stand. The recount also involved four city council seats which official returns showed were won by Democrats David Wysong, Glen Davis and Harry Kantz over Republicans George Newman. William Eikelberner and John Calvert, by margins of 32 votes and less, and by Republican Irvin Kell over Democrat Earl Harrington by 35 votes. At Decatur, a recount opened this morning ip the mayor race which official returns showed was won by Republican Donald F. Gage over Democratic incumbent Robert D. Cole by a margin of four votes.
