Flooded South Is Raked By Heavy Storms By United Press International Violent thunderstorms raked the flooded Southland today and a blustery March storm dumped heavy snow across Nebraska and lowa. Thousands were homeless. The death toll mounted. An airline pilot reported a tornado near Indianapolis, Ind., during the night. Warnings of severe thunderstorms, damaging winds and hail were posted along an 80-mile-wide swath deep into the heart of Ohio. Soaking rains across the South sent rivers and creeks spilling from their banks. More than 30,000 persons fled the rising waters in the Virginias, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama Tuesday. Trains Stranded Three Southern Railroad passenger trains were stranded in east Tennessee by flood waters and muds slides during the night. A tornado ripped through two small south-central Alabama communities late Tuesday, damaging buildings. No injuries were reported. The twister came at the tail end of a rash of tornadoes that swept through the South Monday and earlier Tuesday, killing at least five and leaving millions of dollars of property damage behind. A federal task force was due in eastern Kentucky today to survey flood damage termed the worst in the depressed area’s history. President Kennedy was expected to name 20 Kentucky counties as major disaster areas. Bip Houses Apart The Appalachian floods ripped houses apart, swept cars into swollen streams, uprooted trees and covered highways with tons of mud. The Cumberland and Guyandotte, the Tug and Tennessee, Big Sandy and Sequatchie were just a few of the rampaging rivers which caused millions of dollars of damage across the flood belt If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.

(FHTIC) — Marine private first class Ronald S. Roudebush, son of Mrs. Audrey A. Lee of route 4, Decatur, Ind., was promoted to the present rank recently while serving with Company “M”, Third Battalion, Fifth Regiment, First Marine Division at Camp Pendleton, Calif. One of three Infantry regiments in the First Division, Company “M” is engaged in constant training designed to keep Marines combat ready. KENNEDY (Continued from Page One) policy and to reject all efforts at tax reduction. The harsh results of those decisions are still with us,” Kennedy declared. The present ceiling on the national debt is S3OB billion. It would drop to $305 billion April 1, and down to its permanent level of $285 July 1 without congressional action. The President wants it kept at S3OB billion through June, after which he has said he would ask a temporary increase to $320 billion. Warns et Greater Deßett “An unrealistic debt ceiling or budget cut today,” Kennedy said, would also cause a slowdown in contracts, a stretch-out in payments, a cash drain on business, and ultimately another recession. “Instead of balancing the budget, it would produce a budget deficit far greater than the temporary addition to the deficit that will come from tax reduction. “We are not asking for uncontrolled budget increases, but for a prudent budget which, contrary to the trend at all levels of government, actually reduces civilian expenditures below their level of the previous year, a feat which has occurred only four times in the last 15 years,” As for his proposed tax cut, the President said “certainly it is clear that, if we slide. into another recession, the deficit without a tax cut will be far larger than the projected deficit we face with a tax cut”

SPECIAL (Continued from Page One) Charles Maddox said he did not believe any prediction could be made until after the leadership meetings this week. Blamed Kizer charged that “the big job is going to be for the Senate Republicans to sell the House Republicans on whatever we agree upon. That has been the problem all along.’* Kizer said he wanted $422 million for public schools and also said that the Democrats would produce another reapportionment plan by Monday. Sen. Robert Peterson, D-Rochester, is working on the plan to replace one now in the hands of the governor after being passed by both houses. An agreement was reached on the opening day of the special session to allow no new legislation to be introduced except on budget, tax and reapportionment matters, constitutional amendments, and a per diefo. The lawmakers are paid SI,BOO a year and quite a few of them are concerned about money for foeals and hotel rooms during the special session. A bill to allow each lawmaker about $25 a day for expenses is being drafted. Estimates about when the special session will end vary. Sen. Roy Conrad, GOP caucus chairman, said he thought a week would be sufficient, which would mean ending by March 23. His Democratic counterpart, Sen. William Christy, said he thought the session might adjourn by a week from Thursday. M Our advertisers are for your HOME TOWN DECATUR. - Patronise them.
