swept across the state. Rainfall measured up to more than two inches at some points. Lightning and wind caused some damage, and several persons were injured. At Terre Haute, a store sign i blown down by a gust of wind struck Mrs. Anna Marini of Clin- : ton. She was hospitalized but apparently not seriously injured.

Panama Seeks New Treaty Over Canal PANAMA CITY, Panama (UPI) —President Roberto Chiari of Panama announced Sunday he has asked for negotiations toward a new treaty covering the Panama Canal. 1 Since 1955, the United States has paid Panama *1,930,000 annually for the use of the Canal Zone. Before the revision, the rate had been $430,000 a year. Chiari called the present accords “harmful to Panama’s just claims and to the interests of the national economy.” He was not specific about what Panama intended to ask, but he called for a treaty to recognize his country’s “legitimate rights.” And he indicated the Panamanian flag should fly alongside the Stars and Stripes on official buildings in the Canal Zone, At present the American flag flies alone over courthouses, post offices and other public buildings in the U.S.-controlled Zone. Native political leaders have complained that Panama is getting less than its “fair share” of revenues from the Canal. Four Persons Killed When Plane Crashes BLOOMFIELD, Ind.

He said the like it was out of gas, and then it started to head toward the ground in a glide. Then the craft brushed against the top of a tree, nosed over and “flames shot up.” he said. The wrecked plane was in flames when he arrived on the scene, he told police. Authorities said the two boys were trapped in the plane’s cabin and the two men were thrown from the craft.

Urges Federal Ownership Os All Transport i-’ • - NEW YORK (UPD — Transport Workers Union President Michael J. Quill called today for full federal ownership of all air and ground transportation facilities. Quill’s "socialization” proposal included all transportation from local bus service to railroads and airlines as well as the nation’s utilities. He said “we must look to the socialization of these industries.” He called also for elimination of the profit motive from public service industries. Quill’s 186-page report, text of which was released Sunday night, was to be read today to 750 delegates at the opening of thellth constitutional convention of the TWU, which represents 150,000 workers in transportation and allied fields. In the report and at a news conference, Quill also: " —Called on the AFL-CIO to take back James Hoffa and his Teamsters union because “they weren’t able to convict him (Hoffa). Local, state and federal law enforcement agencies have made Hoffa an honest man.” —Labeled the merged AFL-CIO a "failure,” saying that “interunion raiding is at an all-time high. Locals of the merged movement still practice discrimination, relegating their own members to second class citizenship. Racketeering is still in evidence. —Urged formation of a third political party—a national labor party—because “the American people cannot depend on the present two party system which plays footsie under the table with the lives, for- . tunes and destinies of all of us.” —Laid Sown a wage-and-hour formula to answer automation, calling for .a four-day, 32-hour week for subway, bus, railroad, utility and university employes in the union at no reduction in pay. He also said the union program calls for a five-day, .30-hour week for airline maintenance personnel, and 70-hour month for airline flight personnel such as stewardesses.

Professional Ploy Is Presented Saturday A delightful performance presented by the cast members 1 of “The Helpmate” Saturday evening proved to be very professional in delivery and very entertaining to the audience attending. The {flay was sponsored by tike local Psi lota Xi sorority and held In the gymnasium of the Decatur high school. The orte night performance was played to a small, but alert audience, who enjoyed the comic situations as they were portrayed on the stage. The cast of the play truly lived up to their advance publicity and gave a performance of professional quality that has not been seen in Decatur for a long time. City Court Case Under Advisement Bichard J. Sullivan, city court judge this week in the place of vacationing John B. Stults, explained this morning that he would rule on an assault and battery case heard in court this morning, next Monday. The case concerns an affidavit signed by 18-year-old William Parrott of Geneva against Russell Hendricks and his son Darrell for assault and battery. Hendricks previously pleaded not guilty to the charge in Decatur city court, and the trial wm aut for this morning. Defense Attorney A. Walter Hamilton, Bluffton attorney, represented the Henr dricks and went into a lengthy cross-examination of Parrott and the witness for the prosecution. The case began about 9:45 and lasted to 12:15 today, before Sullivan heard all the evidence and stated he would rule on the case next week. Parrott, a native Texan who recently moved to Portland, and then to Geneva, explained that he was sitting in his car. with his girl friend, 15-year-old Shirley Wolfe, near the girl’s home. He revealed that the Hendricks boy attacked him while in the car, and that the father, Russell Hendricks, assisted in the assault by twisting and injuring his foot. Cross-Examination The defense attorney, Hamilton, then cross-examined Parrott and apparently attemjJted to bring out other facts to prove that the defendants were justified in their t efforts, or were provoked into them. He also brought from Parrott that Sam Wolfe, the girl’s father, came rimning from his home when ( the fight started, with a shotgun and told Hendricks and his son to “get out.” The teen-age girl also testified before the court, and related her version of the story. __ Other Cases Also this morning, James Lyle Plasterer, Homestead 21, pleaded not guilty to a charge of improper mufflers, and the trial was set for Monday, October 9. Ernest Frank Fickle, 46, Anderson. was fined $lO and costs, totaling S2B, for public intoxication. Fickle was arrested last Friday by the city police. Since this was his second arrest since mid-August, Fickle also received a 30-day suspended sentence. He was remanded to jail when unable to pay the fine. Also appearing was Chester Wayne Beer, who paid a fine of SSO and costs, received a 30-day suspended jail sentence, and an automatic one-year suspension of his driver’s license. i l ' If you have something to sell or l trade — use toe Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.

Dust Is The Danger ■‘ In Radioactive Fallout ■i i CHECKING RADIOACTIVITY— MiIt Spence, Adams county soil and water conservationist is shown above making one of his weekly checks of the radioactivity in the atmosphere. Last week’s reading was .06 of one milliroentgen.

Radioactivity is a stranger customer. Its effect on the food supply of America in case of attack has been one. of the problems facing American agriculture. In some ways, the answers 'are encouraging. .. - Radioactivity cannot be transmitted to another article like magietism. If radioactive dust falls on an apple, for instance, the apple will be danerous, because of the dust. Once the dust has been washed off, however, the apple is as good as new. Radioactivity acts in much the same manner as x-rays. When a human is x-rayed, the rays pass through the body, and none of the effects remain — unless the person is exposed for a long period of time. In that case, the rays will cause destruction of human tissue

cells as they pass through. The same is true of the alpha, beta and gamma rays given off by radioactive dust, except that time element is much shorter in fallout. Water supplies are another problem. Water that is stored in a dust-proof place is safe. But most water comes either from lakes, rivers, reservoirs, or filtered through the ground into wells. As all of this water could be easily infiltrated by the dust, it could prove to be the most dangerous item for human consumption. How much of the dust would be absored by growing plants is as yet not certain. It is known, however, that a lot of food in storage would be perfectly safe as long as the dust was either kept off in the first place or washed off before consumption.
