THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Snow Avalanches Disrupt Traffic

ZURICH, Switzerland (UPI) - Avalanches which buried an Alpine bamlet during the weekend today disrupted traffic in the Swiss Alps, stranded hundreds of tourists and isolated 1,500 construction workers at a hydroelectric project. A rash of “white death” snow slides which started last Wednesday have caused at least eight deaths and cut such vital travel routes as the St. Gotthard Pass road and the Zermatt Railway. Four elderly residents of the Italian hamlet of Rochemolles were killed Sunday when • frozen mass of ice and snow roared down from nearby Mt. Mellise. Twenty of the village’s 35 houses were destroyed, and it was feared other residents may have been buried. An avalanche crushed a tunnel workmen’s cabin on 13,320-foot-high Gran Paradiso Mountain in Asosta Valley, 22 miles northeast of Rochemolles. Two men were known dead, and two others were missing. Another man was buried alive when a snowslide struck an Italian army patrol at Corvara in the Italian Alps. At Chandolin, in Switzerland, a 55-year-old man was buried by still another avalanche. The worsening conditions, with snow blankets loosened by rain in many spots, raised fears of a repetition of the “white death” winter of 1951 when 103 persons were killed in a week by avalanches. Rescue squads were forced to drop food supplies from helicopters to the 1,500 workers at the Grande Dixence hydroelectric project. Dr. William Bromer Promoted By Lilly Dr. William M. Bromer, former Decatur resident and an outstanding scholar and athlete while attending the Decatur high school, has been promoted to the position of research associate with Eli Lilly & Co., Indianapolis. Dr. Bromer was named to the position in recognition of his contributions to research, the drug firm stated. He has served seven years as a biochemist with Lilly. The chemist graduated from Decatur high school in 1945. In addition to his fine scholastic record, Bromer starred in football, basketball and track, was president of his senior class, and active in all phases of school work. He received his bachelor of arts degree in chemistry from DePau w University in 1949 and his doctor of philosophy degree in bio-chemistry from Indiana University four years later. He is a member of the American Chemical Society, the American Society of Biological Chemists, the Scientific Research Society of America, Society of Sigma Xi, scientific honor society, and Phi Lambda Upsilon, chemistry recognition society. Dr. Bromer’s father, Henry Bromer, was manager of the Decatur Casting Co, for many years until his death. His mother now resides in Fort Wayne. Jefferson Club To Meet Thursday Night The Adams county Jefferson club will meet Thursday at 8 p.m. at the Youth and Community Center to see slides of the 1960 Democratic governor’s of the club, stated today. Slides will include those of Matt Welsh’s visit to Adams county in September, his two-month state campaign including many of the candidates, attorney-general Robert Kennedy's visit to Indiana, President John Kennedy’s Oct. 6 swing through the state, the Kennedy jubilee party at Indianapolis that drew top motion picture stars, and the governor's inauguration and reception at Indianapolis January 6 - *■ Singleton pointed out that every Democrat, regardless of age or whether he or she is a member of the club, is invited to attend. The Jefferson club, formed in 1954, with Gerald Vizard as its first president, is an unofficial group of Democrats which draws the party closer together.

Americans On Santa Maria Return Home RECIFE, Brazil (UPD-Forty-two Americans, who spent 12 hectic days as hostages of Portuguese rebels aboard the captive liner Santa Maria, made final preparations today for their trip home through the courtesy of the ship’s owners. The Colonial Navigation Co. promised to pay passage for the 807 persons who boarded the Santa Maria at Lisbon, Madeira, La Guaira, Venezuela and Curacao only to find themselves pawns in a sea-going revolution. A spokesman for the company said losses incurred by the abortive revolt aboard the Santa Maria would amount to SIBO,OOO. He said the ship will sail home empty to Lisbon, via Portugal’s Cape Verde Islands. Bound for Miami The Americans tentatively were expected to arrive by air in Miami Tuesday morning. The Netherlands government returned its subjects by air. The Santa Maria’s sister ship, the Vera Cruz, picked up the Portuguese, Spanish and other European passengers for the return trip home Sunday. As one of the last acts in the bizarre voyage, a Requiem Mass was held aboard the Santa Maria Sunday afternoon for the ship's officer who was killed when the rebels, led by Portuguese exile Henrique Galvao, seized the ship Jan. 22. Crew Attends The solemn ceremony was attended by members of the crew, Portuguese officials and others. Galvao and his followers, who were seeking to overthrow the government of Portuguese Premier Antonio de Oliveira Salazar, were granted asylum by the Brazilian government after the surrendered the ship last Friday. The Portuguese government said it would not seek to prosecute Galvao and members of his rebel band. Top Employment In Trucking Industry • The truck industry replaced agriculture as Indiana’s leading source of employment in 1959, passing the perennial leader, agriculture, by some 5,000 persons, the latest U. S. census figures show. In Adams county, for example, 2,152 trucks were registered, with an aggregate value of $2,291,200. Trucking employed 1,166 persons in the county, with earnings of $5,628,282. Billton Dollar Payroll The Indiana Motor Truck Association, Inc., states that 233,220 Hoosiers earned $1,125,752,940 from the trucking industry in 1959. This was the third consecutive year that the trucking industry’s payroll has exceeded the billion dollar mark. Indiana’s 335,794 trucks made up 16.9% of the state’s registered vehicles. Since they use untaxed state highways for their transportation right-of-way, they pay 36.4% of the state gasoline tax. This does not count the property taxes paid on trucks, freight terminals, and other property. In Indiana, 1,580 communities, or 49.6% by number, depend entirely on trucks for freight transportation. Os the Hoosier state’s 826 post offices, 649, or 77 per cent, receive and send mail only by motor transport.26.5% Are Farmers Truck owners in Indiana paid $74,119,068 to the state's 854 new truck dealers for new trucks in 1959. About 26.5% of the total Hoosier truck registrations consist of some 88,985 farm trucks. Average .earnings of for-hire trucking employes were $6,263 compared with $5,861 for rail employes, $5,612 for manufacturing employes and $4,827 for Hoosiers ■ in all private industry.

Reorganization Is Lesiglative Issue

By EVERETT R. IRWIN United Press International CHICAGO (UPI) — Government streamlining is * hot iscue before several state legislatures in 1961 sessions. Governors of Oregon, Montana and New Hampshire have dumped comprehensize reoiganization proposals on the desks of lawmakers. The programs— so far-reaching that they were incori>orated in more than 30 separate bills in Oregon and raised cries of dictatorship in Montana—threatened to overshadow money matters and redistricting problems in those states. In nearly a dozen other states, a United Press International survey of state Capitol correspondents showed limited reorganization plans have been offered or are on the drawing boards. Gov. Mark Hatfield of Oregon, a Republican, asked his legislature for a streamlined cabinet system to replace the state’s present loose conglomeration of 141 agencies, boards and commissions. He said the old system is outdated and inefficient and doesn’t give the governor the authority he needs to carry out his responsibilities. Consolidate 50 Departments In Montana, Gov. Donald G. Nutter proposed consolidation of more than 50 state departments, boards, commissions and other Decatur Youth Sent To Plainfield School A 14-year-old Decatur youth has been sent to Plainfield boys school following a violation of a suspended commitment to that institution. it was learned today. The youth admitted taking sls from a safe in the Clark Flaugh service station January 31. Previously he had been sentenced, with commitment suspended, for stealing cars end joy riding in them. At that time he had been placed on probation to his parents, with the understanding that if he got in trouble, he would have to be committed. It was recommended by the juvenile court authorities that the boy be sent from the school to Riley hospital in Indianapolis for treatment as he is of above average intelligence, but seems unable to keep from taking things that do not belong to him. All commitments to Plainfield are until the youth reaches the age of 21, or is paroled; most of them are paroled after a few months, if they appear to have benefited from the training received there.

agencies into about 20 departments. Nutter, a Republican, would have the head of each department made directly responsible to the governor and serve at his pleasure. Most agency heads now have set-term appointments, and many of their terms don’t jibe with the governor’s term. Much of the Nutter plan was recommended by the bipartisan Montana Legislative Council and has considerable Democratic support. But other Democrats, opposed to the program, have revived the term “Hitler’s bill” which was tagged on a similar proposal advanced by a governor in 1937. Gov. Wesley Powell is spearheading a new attempt this year to reorganize —by mergers and other means—New Hampshire’s departments of health, motor vehicles, state police, forestry, and planning and development. In Utah, Gov. George D. Clyde said there’s a pressing need for establishment of executive posts for budgeting, personnel and planning directly under the governor’s office. Wyoming’s Gov. Jack Gage asked the legislature in Cheyenne to get a start on government reorganization by adopting a system of centralized accounting of state revenue and expenditures. Change Highway Departments Reorganization of highway departments was under consideration in several states. —Gov. Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin proposed to junk the present three-member Highway Commission and replace it with a single executive. The Democratic governor immediately ran into protests from GOP majorities in both houses of the legislature and vigorous opposition by two associations of county highway officials. —A legislative study group in New Mexico prepared a constitutional amendment that would put the governor on the state Highway Commission and make him responsible for road failures. —lndiana's Gov. Matthew E. Welsh proposed a part-time, fourmember Highway Commission to replace the present three members who work full time. Welsh hoped to attract men of high stature for the part-time, policymaking posts and place the day-to-day operation of the department under an executive director. The Ohio Legislature had before it a bill that would place the Highway Safety Department and its major division, the Highway Patrol, in the state Highway Department for financing. —Highway Department reorga- ; nization moves were on tap in Florida and Delaware in an aftermath of Corruption charges.
