o’clock. The 1962 model car was nearly completely submerged in water, after the vehicle left U. S. 33, one mile south and two miles , of Decatur, and went into a watery field on the Roy Price farm. ' Free was traveling toward De- . catur when his auto skidded on an icy patch caused by water that had come up over the road and then froze. The R*to went off the north side of the road and into the field full of water. Free escaped without injury, but received a good “dunking.” Three rods of fence on the Price property were torn down by the car, an estimated S3O damage. Sheriff Roger Singleton investigated.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INpIANA

Defense Expert Scores Loose Capital Talks WASHINGTON (KPI) — A top defense expert in the House said today that loose talk both in Congress and the administration is wrecking U.S. intelligence efforts. He called on all concerned to shut up. "There has been talk of an intelligence gap,” Rep. George H. Mahon, D-Tex., told his House colleagues. “There is an intelligence gap. Hie gap is in the intelligence of those who are daily revealing the secrets of the intelligence operations of the United States goernment. “Our immaturity and indiscretion in these constant disclosures is making us the laughing stock of the world. “Officials in Moscow, Peiping and Havana must applaud our stupidity in announcing publicly facts which they would gladly spend huge sums of money endeavoring to obtain.” Mahon is chairman of an ap. propriations subcommittee handling the defense budget. As such he also is a key maq on a special subcommittee dealing with intelligence matters. It you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.

The bigger cuts included $22.8 million in pension fund contributions from the state, $lO million in school tuition distribution, $2.3 million in the mental health contingency fund, $2 million from the Department of Administration personnel including salary hikes intended for the $lB5-225 monthly pay bracket people. $8 Million to Colleges The Senate committee added $8 million to universities and colleges to give the four state-supported institutions $153 million for the next two years. The public school support program now stands at $340 million, nearly SIOO million above the current support level. The final action taken by the committee was to add $200,000 to the Department of Commerce and cal experts to allow for a $25 million surplus is taken, the new cash needed would amount to $255 million. The Senate survived another near-stalemate Wednesday when the Republican senators reluctantly agreed to accept three Democratic amendments to a warehouse tax exemption measure which was on second reading. The three amendments—offered by Sen. Marshall Kizer, D-Plym-outh —would give each homeowner a SI,OOO exemption in the value of his property, repeal the poll tax, and exempt from property taxes farm crops stored on the farm

Public Relations to promote tourism in Indiana. Now that the budget is nearing settlement, the big problem facing the 149 lawmakers is where to get $227 million more than the $786 million estimated general fund revenue. All sorts of bills for new revenue are lying around, in and out of committees. A 2 per cent sales tax, favored by some, would bring in an estimated $226 million if home-con-sumed food were exempted, or $278 million if included. A onethird hike in gross income tax is figured to produce $l5O million a biennium and a $4 per SIOO net worth tax on corporations is expected to produce sls million. Conrad believes the tax increase will come from these three sources. If the advice of some fiswhere produced. “Palitteal Meakey Business” Conrad, in announcing a GOP caucus decision to accept the amendments, charged the Democrats with “political monkey business." “They know these appeal to everybody and they also know we don't have the money to put them into effect,” Conrad said.

Dam Bursts, Floods Connecticut City

NORWICH, Conn. (UPI) —Torrents of water from a small lake burst through an earthfilled dam Wednesday night and flooded about four square miles of the city.

Benjamin Dubicki was standing across the street from the 75-year-old Stanton Turner twine mill when one of its wings collapsed. Some of the victims were inside. “All at once the building just sort of fell," he said. “Lights went out and that was it. “The building made a lot of noise. I guess it drowned out the screams. I knew the women were in the doorway. It was open and they were calling for help.” One of the dead women was identified as Mrs. Anna Barret. Water Breaks Dam The waters of tWo acres Spalding Pond, swollen by heavy rains and melting snow, broke through the Mohegan Park dam at about 10 p.m. EST. Police said cracks had been reported in it Wednesday afternoon. From the park, which is situated on high ground in the northwest part of the city, the waters surged down streets and sidewalks, spinning cars around and splashing into hundreds of homes and business establishments. Widespread power failures plunged the stricken area into darkness. State troopers rushed to the scene with emergency lighting equipment and stood guard at stores to prevent looting.

THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1963

Damage was estimated at many millions of dollars, and the greatest since a hurricane hit Norwich in 1938. The frigid floodwaters, which stood 12 feet deep at some points during the night, touched off several boiler and furnace explosions. A wall of the three-story brick mill collapsed following a boiler explosion. Three of the injured and one of those believed missing also were at the mill. Second Boiler Explodes Another boiler explosion at the J. B. Martin Co., another mill, started a fire that raged out of control for hours. For hours it was feared that a second dam, on the Shetucket River in the Occum section of Norwich, might break under the pressure of high water and ice floes. Flood gates were frozen and could not be opened to relieve the pressure, but police today said the threat had passed. Four hours after the park dam split, city police Capt. James C. Casey said, "the water is receding nicely. But there's a lot of ice, rocks and debris. It’s going to be some time before they clean it up.” Much of the water spilled into the Thames River. Included in the debris were several metal septic tanks which the waters deposited in the downtown district. Dr. Lewis Sears, Norwich health officer, said the tanks posed the threat of disease and declared the area in a “state of emergency.” Police Chief Clarence D. Simpson said no one would be allowed in the area until all the streets had been washed down with chlorine and clean water.
