Stale Policeman Wounded Sunday State Trooper Harold Archer, 33, was wounded in the head and arm Sunday when he attempted to stop a car with four men in it south of here near U.S. 31. Archer said he had just turned on his red light to stop the car during the course of a routine traffic check, when one of the men leaned out of the car and a bullet came crashing into his patrol car. It appeared at first that Archer was not wounded seriously. But later it developed there was a posADAM S THEATER - Time Tonight - Terrific in COLOR! “NO MAN IS AN ISLAND” Jeffrey Hunter, Marshall Thompson ALSO — Shorts 25c -60 c —o Fri. & Sat.—Anthonv Quinn, i “Requiem For A Heavyweight” ' Jackie Gleason, Mickey Rooney

Archer was in fair condition at an Indianapolis hospital. The trooper said he ducked to one side when he saw the man lean out the window and fire. The bullet nicked Archer’S right arm and cut a deep gash in his right temple. Archer began chasing the car when he noticed it was traveling without lights. He said he merely intended to stop the car and warn the driver about driving without lights when the chase began. Hoosier authorities staged a state-wide search for the car and the men, described as “young white males.” When he saw me man lean out of the window, Archer said “I kind of knew what was coming.” He said he leaned to one side and if he hadn’t, the bullet would have struck him in the middle of the forehead. Archer was taken to St. Francis Hospital at Beech Grove. The shooting occurred on Banta Rd. between U. S, 31 and Indiana 135 in southern Marion County. The case began on U.S. 31 shortly after dusk. Archer said when he turned on the red light, the oar picked up sjfeed and swerved into the side road the car ap- , peared to be a fairly late model, 1 ’ light green color, and may have i had a DE prefix license plate.
Pilot Effort To Regain His Altitude Failed NEW YORK (UPD—A desperate attempt to regain altitude came seconds too late to prevent the Eastern Air Lines DC7B crash at Idlewild Airport, according to investigators of the accident which killed 25 persons. The four-engined piston plane, carrying 51 persons from Charlotte, N.C., crashed and burned Friday night while groping toward a runway through treacherous fog. A preliminary report by Civil Aeronautics Board investigators Sunday offered these “ifs” that might havd spelled the difference between life and death: —ls the pilot had been able to see a few moments earlier that he was overshooting Runway 4 his last-second try to climb away from the ground might have succeeded. But he was already too low, a CAB spokesman said, and the tail hit the ground as the plane turned upward. —ls the plane had landed a minute earlier, the thick, shifting fog might have thinned enough to reveal the runway in time. It hit to the left of the runway, nearly a mile past the approach end. (In an article he wrote two weeks ago the plane’s pilot, Capt. Edward Bechtold, called safety margins on Runway 4 “uncomfortably close” in bad weather. The article, to appear in the January issue of the trade magazine “Airlift,” urged a new instrument landing system for another Idlewild runway which Bechtold considered safer far landings from the southeast.) Edward Slattery, CAB public information officer, said the crash apparently was a “weather accident.” “The pilot probably caught sight of the ground or a light or didn’t catch sight of the runway and decided it was time to go around again for another landing,” Slattery said. Bechtold and co-pilot Jules Wagner both died in the flaming wreckage. The airport’s radar monitoring system, a runway homing beam; and a Weather Bureau visibility instrument were not functioning j at the time, the CAB said. The lack of these devices did not provide sufficient cause for routing the plane to another airport, the federal investigators said. A radio navigational system was used by Bechtold.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA
Pope John Appears To Crowd Sunday . VATICAN CITY (UPD—Pope John XXIII, plagued by anemia and stomach trouble, appeared today to have won at least a temporary battle against age and illness. The 81-year-old spiritual leader of the world’s 500 million Roman Catholics showed the power of his peasant constitution Sunday by telling 30,000 cheering faithful that his good health “is returning.” But it was obvious the Pope still was ailing from the anemia and stomach trouble —believed to be a bleeding ulcer—that kept him in bed most of last week. During the week, he had defied doctors’ orders to get out of bed and continued with what he considered necessary work. Although there was no official announcement from the Vatican, it was believed he intended to resume more work today. As the crowds massed in St. Peter’s Square below cheered and applauded, Pope John appeared at his window Sunday to assure the world, “the good health that threatened for a moment to leave me is about to return—in fact, it is returning.” Despite his optimistic words, the Pope did not look well. « Alex Campbell Vote Faces Jury Probe FORT WAYNE, Ind. (UPD—Allen County grand jury will meet Dec. 11 to consider charges that Indiana National Democratic Committeeman Alex Campbell was not a legal resident of Alien County and therefore voted illegally Nov. 6. Officials here have challenged Campbell’s right to vote in Allen County, saying he was not a legal resident. Different sources have shown Campbell’s residence to be in at least three di'ferent places, including a ranch in Whitley County, which Campbell said is like a lake cabin to him. Prosecutor J. Byron Hayes, in a letter to the election commission, requested the challenges and affidavits made In connection with the election be delivered to the foreman of the grand jury on the opening day of the session. Campbell was allowed to vote when he signed a statement swearing he was a legal resident of Fort Wayne, giving a West I Main St. address. . ——

said there were indications that the victims were not in control of the plane when it crashed. The plane fell eight miles northwest of here on a farm owned by Roy Richards. It burst into flames on impact and both men were burned beyond recognition, Summers said. Knoy and Slinkara had helped install runway lights at Keney’s Airfield south of Mocresville before talking off for a ride at about 9 p.m. The plane crashed 30 minutes later. Painting Radiators For paintirg radiators, use flat paint. Glossy paint or anv of the metallic types tend to reduce the flow of heat. Another tip: If you use paint that matches the wall your radiator will be less conspicuous.
Attempts Audition Os Lions At Zoo By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — As far as I have been able to determine, no composer has ever' written a fugue for three lions amd a cuica. This is probably just as well because lions are notoriously undependable as musical instruments. I base that statement on the experiences of Howard Mitchell, conductor of the National Symphony Orchestra, who recently auditioned a trio of lions at the National Zoo here. Mitchell arranged the safari in connection with a concert the orchestra is playing this week. Sne of the numbers of the pro-

gram Is “Samba Concertante" by the Brazilian composer Burle Marx. „ . Marx, who likes to go all out when he is writing music, threw in parts for a number of instruments not normally heard at symphonic performances. Flavor Os Country Among them are a cuica, a reco-reco, two zochalhos, a Brazilian tambourine and a piano with paper over the strings. 1 had a talk with Marx during a rehearsal and he explained that their purpose was to give the music the true flavor of Brazil. The cuica, for instance, is supposed to represent a fat man trying to dance the samba. Marx said he had his cousin In mind when he composed that section. It is remotely possible that some people never heard of a cuiL{ ca (pronounced ‘‘kweeka’ ). In that case, I should explain that it is a Brazilian drum consisting of a cat skin stretched over the end of a small barrel. You beat a cuica with a rosined stick which has been rubbed with a wet rag. The word cuica means "lion’s roar.” It also is remotely possible that some people never heard of a lion . (pronounced “Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer"). In that case, they will have to turn elsewhere for enlightenment. Lions are beyond my powers of description. Nothing Happened At any rate, as I was saying, Mitchell took a cuica out to the zoo to see how the lions would react when they heard it. It was expected that, they would begin to roar, creating the first cuica-hon quartet. But nothing happened. .The lions didn’t respond at all. They just yawned. It was a big ’letdown, but Mitchell swallowed his disappointment and went ahead with the concert. I think I 'know what was wrong. Dust Catcher Mitchell should have tried beating the lions with a resined { .stick I feel certain that would have made them roar. They might even have swallowed Mitchell. But I doubt cuica-lion quartets will ever become popular. It’s awfully hard to keep a lion in tune. When drilling holes into a concrete, plaster or brick wall, prevent dirt and dust from falling to the floor by taping a small cardboard box to the wall just under the spot being drilled. Use masking tape for fastening this box to the wall.
