Threat Os New r—l Floods Posed In Northwest By United Press International Spring-like temperatures broke up ice-clogged rivers today and posed new flood threats to the Pacific Northwest. Homes along the Southern California coast were again threatened by high tides. The Atlantic storm which spilled heavy seas over barricades from Florida to North Carolina continued to weaken. Light snow blanketed New England and freezing rain slicked highways in the Midwest. The lowest temperature reported in the nation today was 2 degrees above zero at Limestone, Maine. Two highways were cut off by flood waters in Franklin County, Wash., and county officials said other roads were softened. Whitman County, Wash., where a half dozen small communities were hit by a flash flood, was declared a disaster area by the Small Business Administration. Ice jams were breaking up today on the Clark Fork, Gallatin, Missouri and Big Horn rivers in Montand. Many western Montana communities braced for floods and some areas along the Gallatin River were evacuated. Homeowners at Surfside, Sunset and Capistrano, Calif., prepared for another stand today against the pounding Pacific surf. Tides were expected to top six feet. High Waves caused extensive water damage to about 75 beachfront homes Wednesday. The violent seas .washed away an 11-foot barricade at Capistrano and hurled volley ball sized boulders far up the beach." On the East Coast, residents of Hatteras Island off North Carolina resumed efforts to close a storm - cut inlet even though the damaging Atlantic storm was weakening. Jacksonville, Fla., beaches were lined with crumbling sea walls and gaping potholes. Workers continued sandbagging the north Florida coast Wednesday in case the storm should intensify.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT DECATUR, INDIANA

Would Boost Bond Powers

INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — A measure which would triple the present bonding power of local governmental units Is ready for passage in the 93rd Legislature today. The measure, backed by Democratic minority leader Marshall Kizer, D-Plymouth, and David Rogers, D-Bloomington, has been termed by the authors ‘‘an appeal from the verdict of the Indiana Supreme Court.” The high court had ruled, in an opinion written by former Judge Arch N. Bobbitt, that one-third of “true cash value” should be considered the assessed valuation upon which bonds are issued for construction of schools and other public buildings and projects. The bill specifies for bonding purposes, 100 per cent property valuation figures should be used. Also today in the Senate, a measure making seat belts mandatory in the front seat of new autos is eligible for final passage. The House was scheduled to complete passage of some more of the 104 Senate-passed bills repealing sections of obsolete laws—if the electric voting machine is repaired in time. Sixty-four of the measures were passed on individual third readings Wednesday unPerfect Scores Are Given Two Students Two Adams Central students distinguished themselves last Saturday by receiving perfect scores in the annual piano and vocal contest of the Northern Indiana band, orchestra and vocal association. Larry Zureher received a perfect score for his rendition of “Fluttering Leaves” by Hoelling. Judy Hakes received . a perfect score for playing of “Six Variations” by Beethoven.

Others receiving superior ratings were: Verna Adler playing “Golliwog’s Cake Walk,” Ann Sprunger singing “Into the Night” and Reginald Converse singing “Winds.” The freshman girls trio composed of Romona Merriman, Ann Sprunger, and Judy Hakes, also received a superior rating singing- “Some Enchanted Evening.” Excellent ratings were won by Joan Brown for a vocal solo, and two girls’ trios composed of Carol Schwartz, Judy Hirschy, Jane Kaehr, and Kathy Michaels. Accompanying the students were Darrell L. Gerig and Mrs. Dorothy Fuhrman of the Adams Central music department and a number of 1 the parents.

der suspension of rules before the machine emitted a puff of smoke and quit operating. Vote On Sheriff Limit The House calendar still contained on second reading for today a controversial constitutional amendment to remove the twoterm limit for county sheriffs. The House Wednesday received tongue-in-cheek bills calling for atlarge election of House and Senate members as a means of getting “true population representation.” The bills were introduced by two Republican veterans, James Allen, R-Salem, and Glenn Slenker, RMonticello, who are known to feel geographic and economic factors should be given consideration in reapportioning the legislature. Require Driver Photos Other House bills: —Require photographs on drivers’ licenses, introduced by Reps. Jack Neaderhiser, D-Terre Haute, and James Clark, R-Indianapolis. A similar bill was vetoed two years ago by Governor Welsh on the grounds that the Bureau of Motor Vehicles would be too busy with an expected change in taxation of automobiles to handle the mechanics. Welsh has said he has no objection to the measure now. —Exempt certain types of property from taxation, Rep. Marion Bushemi, D-Gary. —Allow two newsmen, one representing wire services and the other daily newspapers, to witness executions, Reps. William Sebree, D-Anderson, and David Caldwell, R-Indianapolis. A Senate bill introduced Wednesday would upgrade embalming and funeral directing to a “profession” from a “business.” Sens. Russell Townsend, R-Indi-anapolis, and James Kirtley, DCrawfordsville, offered an amendment to a 1939 law which would make this shift of words and in addition would add several new sections which would require embalmers and funeral directors to be citizens of the United States, residents of Indiana for at least one year. The bill also would prohibit a director, embalmer or mortuary owner from having any connection with a cemetery and would require that mortuaries which serve food must have a restaurant permit Requires Glowing Roads Other Senate bills: ... ... —Require the State Highway Commission to establish and maintain luminous edgings on all hardtop state and federal highways of 20 or more feet in width, Sens. Galen Colclesser, R-Hunting-ton, and Von Eichhorn, D-Union-dale. —lncrease the clothing allowance for volunteer firemen in municipalities from $25 to SSO, Sens. Martha Burnett, R-Indian-apolis, and Eichhorn. —Require township trustees to maintain all cemeteries which are without funds for such maintenance, Rep. Robert Peterson, DRochester. —Set a maximum speed of 20 miles an hour on lakes of less than J3OO acres and over 80 acres, between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m., Sen. Marshall Kizer, D-Plymouth.
