w - d f -• NEW FAN JET—Thia new type jet engine develops about 40 per cent more power than a conventional type but con* sumes the same amount of fuel. The GE engine, shown • being serviced in San Diego, Calif., has compressor blades . in the inner circle which pull a torrent of air (56 tons a minute) into the combustion chamber. The outer circle channels the air to a large fan at the rear. Combined effect of fan and engine produces the radical power increase.

Lady Lawmaker Is Champion Os Minorities : ( By HOBTENSE MYERS t Halted Press International i INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—A woman lawmaker who considers her- t self the "champion of the minori- I ties’* has good reason to regard t No. C with significance. r Rep. Elsie Earning. D-Evans- < ville, has served in the Indiana General Assembly three times— s but each of those terms was sep- r arated by an interval of six years, t Only six other representatives I have served over as long a calen- c dar period of time as she has. « Mrs. Barning was a member of the 1949 and 1955 sessions. t “This is my second time to be 1 in a minority, but each session t has been different,’* said observe ed. i The short, lively grandmother said that while she does not yet t agree with critics who call this a t "do nothing" legislature, she is c "greatly disturbed” over the bur- t ial in committee of a heavy pore tion of Governor Welsh’s administration program, particularly his revenue-raising biH. 1 Likes Welsh Bills 1 “I’m sold on the governor’s tax t proposal.” she declared, referring s to a bill in House Ways and s Means Committee which w o u 1 d ; raise individual payers’ gross in- < come tax $6 a year and place three-eighths of one per cent tax 1 on out-of-state sales of Indiana- 1 based firms. ; “I like the Farm Bureau plan i also but feel it is too revolutionary to try doubling the gross income i tax. But we must take the inequ- j ities and loopholes out of our pres- I ent tax system in some way,” she said. i One of Mrs. Barning’s own measures about which she is most concerned is one seeking to remedy the abuses of absentee voting without eliminating the right of all citizens to vote. It is lodged in committee but she is hopeful that when a conference committee is named to work on the various absentee voting bills her plan will be considered. It calls for absentee ballots to be marked in the presence of two election board officers and the ballots retained in a locked box with keys held by one official from each party. She is against • plan to limit absentee voting to servicemen. No Penalty For illness "You can’t take away a fundamental right like voting just because -a person is ill,” she argued. Mrs. Baming, a poor relief investigator when he isn’t a legislator, also is fearful that a Senate bill for which she is sponsor may die in committee. It is one to create a fourth welfare category of disabled persons to whom aid would be paid. "It is still in Judiciary A. I am greatly concerned it is going to be held up. It is a bill which would take care of a group who now are forgotten people,” she said. "I consider myself the champion of the minorities,” she explained. “I think any legislative board or committee should have representation from every segment under its control.” How's That Again? SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (UPD — One of the contestants in the Miss Wool contest in Texas was Jerri Lynn Cotton. Real Passing Arm WASHINGTON (UPD — Coach Samrity Baugh of the New York Titani completed 1.709 passes while quarterbacking for the Washington Redskins from 1937-

Former Colleagues Hazard To Newsmen ■ By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD — One of 1 the hazards a newspaperman < must face* is bumping into former colleagues who have strayed into the lush green pastures of the 1 public relations business. 1 The first thing they do is offer 1 to buy you a drink, which is their 1 subtle way of letting you know 1 they have been initiated into the 1 mystic rites of the expense ac- ] count. , . — — J If you accept the invitation, you 1 spend the next hour hearing how nice it is to work regular hours, and not to meet deadlines, and to be able to fertilize the bank account so that it will grow a nest egg. I have been through that routine so often I could hardly believe my ears Monday as I was talking with an erstwhile co-work-er who recently joined the eco- j nomic royalists. 1 He poured out a public relations ] tale of such horrendous tribula- i tion it fairly made my blood run ] cold. For once, I felt lucky to be still safe in the arms of Moth- 1 er Journalism. ] Works For NAB J This poor fellow, whom I shall' leave in merciful anonymity, now t labors for the National Association of Broadcasters, one of the 1 sponsors of a nationwide, high : school forensic competition known 1 as the “Voice of Democracy” ’ contest. 1 In this capacity, it fell his task i to serve as a sort of “house fa- ' ther” this week for the 51 teenagers who won free trips to Wash- ( ington in the contest. Having the responsibility for 51 : teen-agers, as you might imagine, is a trying assignment under the best of conditions. My friend worked out a fihely detailed plan 1 under which each youngster would be met by a caperone upon arrival and would remain under close surveillance thereafter. He also mapped out a strenuous daytime schedule that he hoped would have his charges so tired they would not be tempted to sample what passes for night life in the capital. Then two things happened that turned him grey overnight. During the weekend, a heavy fog rolled in; the airline mechanics walked out. Youngsters Stranded My friend suddenly began getting calls from youthful orators who, because of the weather or the strike, had been stranded at airports in Cincinnati, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and other points. What do we do now, pops? Worse yet, several of the more adventurous types set out to find other means of travel without letting him know. Some of their planes eventually were able to land, but they were not aboard. For two frantic days and one sleepless night, our hero manned his post, trying to keep track of, or establish contact with, 26 girls i and 25 poys entrusted to him for i safekeeping. > When I . talked with him Mon- ■ day, all but five had straggled in and he had a general idea of their whereabouts. So he was ■ somewhat relieved. But for this week, I think he ■ would welcome being back on a ■ restful newspaper assignment—such as covering the Congo. Non-Stop Feelings i BAY CITY, Mich. (UPD —Janet McGunegle, 19, had a ready explanation for police when her car recently failed to stop and rammed into the rear of another i automobile. —- : Her kitten had crawled down ! under the brdke pedal, Miss Mct Gunegle sadi, and she just could- ■ n’t bear to press down on the brake arid squeeze her pet. —— _ ;—, —.———

Rivers Force Thousands To Flee Homes By United Press International Swollen rivers in Alabama and Washington roared toward crests today beneath chill rains plaguing thousands of persons who fled mud-soaked homes. Officials at Birmingham, Ala., estimated damage from the raging Warrior River at $1 million with the worst “yet to come.” At least 1,000 persons were evacuated at Birmingham alone and the flood peril was mirrored across six southern states. In the Far West, the Skagit River neared a 20-foot crest at Mount Vernon, Wash., forcing homeowners and cattlemen six miles north of the city to move animals and belongings to higher grounds. Cooler temperatures dropping to freezing at 3,500 feet in toe mountains were expected to relieve flooding along toe Skagit. Lowland floods accompanied nighttime crests on toe Green, Snohomish and Snoqualmie rivers in Washington. A 300-foot rock and earth slide Tuesday buried a Lewis County highway south of Seattle. Mississippi National Guardsmen at Columbia evacuated families from 4-foot-deep water that washed out bridge posts and snapped a natural gas Kne. Mississippi schools closed in Forrest and Marion counties and classes at Delta State College, land, were voluntary. At Sumrail, Miss., a tornado flattened a garage and service station. No injuries were reported. Louisiana authorities said floodwaters from toe Pearl River along the Mississippi line closed every highway in Washington Parish. Flares burned through the night blocking all traffic in Bogalusa, a city of 17,000 on the Pearl River. Tangipahoa Parish to toe west reported major highways impassable at eight points.

News Story Helps Unite Father, Son DALLAS, Tex. (UPD — It was just a short, short story, 39 words to be exact, on the United Press International wires, but it had wiped away 20 years today for Larry R. Stratton and his father. Larry, 28, is a station agent for Braniff International Airways in Dallas. His father is Jerry R. Stratton of Piqua, Ohio. This is the story the elder Stratton read in the Piqua Call: “DALLAS, Tex. (UPD—AII four kids came, back today, but it’s still mighty quiet at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Larry R. Stratton. Their children, Angela, 5, Pamela. 6, Denise, 7, and Donna, 9, all had their tonsils taken out Tuesday.” * He called toe news editor of toe Call, and was advised to write to UPI at Columbus, Ohio, which sent his letter to UPI in Dallas. Stratton said he believed that toe man in the story might be his son, born in 1933, whom he hadn’t seen since 1941. The Dallas UPI office located Larry Tuesday. “I guess I’m the man,” Larry said. “The last time I saw my father was when I was eight years old, in the Trailways bus station in Dallas. My mother was putting me on toe bus and I just happened to run into him.” He explained that his mother and father had “broken up” and he went to live with relatives. His mother now is re-married, but he said he didn’t know his father had re-married, or where he was. “You know,” Larry said, “it’s real funny. I’ve always worked around airports. Everytime I’d see somebody who looked like him (his father) I’d stop and look close.” Larry telephoned his father Tuesday night. They plan to have a reunion soon.

Stock Car Driver Killed At Daytona " DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, (UPI) — A veteran stock car driver on a practice run at the Daytona International Speedway was killed Tuesday when his car rolled over at high speed on the east turn. The victim was Harold F. Haberling, 33, of Phoenix, Ariz. He was driving a 1955 modified Chevrolet stock car on toe 2.5 mile Speedway, one of toe world’s fastest automobile courses. Witnesses said Haberling’s car veered down the 31-degree banked turn, then back up toe slope before overturning and stopping at toe edge of toe grass-covered infield. , . *' “It looks to me like he just lost it (control) before going into toe turn,” Speedway president Bill France said. He said Haberling, here for the month-long Speedweek’s program that ends with a 500-mile stock Car race Sunday, was dead when examined at the track’s hospital.
