TRICKER HOME (Continued from Page One) The home had burned to the ground in a fire earlier in the year. Schiefersteln and his wife have been living in a house trailer while the home is being reconstructed. When the dark clouds were observed and storm warnings issued, the new construction was knocked down to prevent it from blowing over against tne trailer. The Schiefersteins reported they were glad they had decided to knock down the new construction, as winds were quite heavy in that area. A nearby tree blew down and just missed striking the house trailer. Window Blown Out One of three sections of plate glass in the front portion of the D & T Standard service station. 130 N. 13th St., was literally blown out by the winds. The glass scattered about the driveway, but fortunately blew out and not in, and no one was injured. Some merchandise, mostly sunglasses. were scattered about the area, flying out as the window gave way. j The Decatur Drive-in theater escaped what the Bluffton Drive-in theater didn’t — losing its movie screen. Powerful winds in the Eluffton area ripped down the outdoor screen north of the city. Blocks Second St. A tree in front of Shell Bros. . Plumbing and Heating. 905 N. Se'eone St., fell across the street blocking traffic, and a portion of a similar-sized tree at the Julius Baker residence, 703 N. Fifth St., broke and fell across Fifth street, tieing up traffic there for a short time. The tree just missed striking an automobile that was parked in front of the Baker residence. The Boardman Sewing Machine shop, home of Abraham P. Boardman, narrowly escaped being damaged when a tree on the south side of the building came tumbling to the ground. Although the tree just missed striking the home, it did tear down utility lines around the house. A number of limbs were also blown into the yard of the sewing machine shop, located at 223 N. First St. Another huge tree, several feet in diameter, was also snapped ly the winds. The large tree is located in the front yard of the residence of Esther N. Bowers, 104 Marshall St., located at the north end of First street. Although the tree fell toward the house, fortunately it was located far enough away from the home that it did not-strike the home. Two in Yard Two good-sized trees in the front lawn of the home of Mrs. Bertha Hakey, 103 N. Tenth St., blew down across Tenth St., blocking traffic there until the street departmen was able to remove it. The trees were located just a few feet apart, and luckily fell toward the street. One was almost entirely uprooted, as a large portion of the ground went right up with the base of the tree. A tree in the front yard of the home of Verl Snyder, 1215 Adams St., just across the street from Worthman Field, came tumbling to the ground and narrowly missed striking Snyder’s car parked in the driveway on the east side of the home. The tree fell ocross the driveway, and also fell just a- few feet short and to the side of the home

of Donald L. Suman, 1209 Adams street. A few shingles were knocked from the home of Clarence L, Hook, local D.A.V.- commander, when a- tree there fell. The tree just brushed the front part of the I home, causing the minor damage. On Winchester St., just south of [ Grant St., two trees fell from opposite sides of the street creating an obstacle course for motorists who attempted to drive through—and many decided to turn and r ind a different route. A portion of a tree on the on the residence of city court Judge John B. Stults also blocked a portion of Adams St. Falling from the I front, yard of Judge Stults’ home, 1 .305 Adams St., the tree covered I about three-fourths of Adams St., slowing only one lane of traffic. T. V. Antennas At least two television aerials were noted to have been blown down by the fierce winds, One was located atop the Madison street building which houses : the Red Cross headquarters, and ■ ether offices, and several offices i. downstairs, including the Reppe-t auction school headquarters. The antenna was owned by Boyd Rayer, who owns Boyd's Barber Shop, located on the 'ground level of the building. A large T. V. antenna that stood alongside the home of Kenneth Shell, 510 Line St., was also blown down. The antenna fell in front of the' home, and may have incurred slight damage to the front portion as it fell. An antenna atop the residence of Florian Keller. 222 W. Monroe St., was observed bent and leaning following the storm. Snaps Tree A tree in the Moose lodge parking lot, to which a sign saying “Moose Parking Lot” was attached, was snapped in half above the sign, and hurled across the street. A small portion of a tree was thrown into Marshall St. in front of the Gillig & Doan funeral home, and a few limbs were seen up against the front porch of the home of Thomas Burk, 331 Mercer Ave. In the yard of the Hugh J. Andrews home, 337 S. First St., a large limb was hangihg, and a large limb was hurled into the intersection of Line and Adams Sts. Several limbs were blown onto lawns, at 110 and 104 N. Tenth Stand -numerous other bits of tree debris were seen in yards in that area. A small portion of a tree in the lawn of Carl E. Stuckey, 114 S. 13th treet, was blown down and just missed brushing against the home. Numerous other "limbs from trees were witnessed in more than half of the lawns in the city, and nearly all streets had limbs and bits of limbs scattered in them. Some garagemen t who were late, or forgot ,in bringing in their advertising signs, had the signs blown about and damaged by the winds. Added Reports Several other reports of damage incurred by the Monday storm have been received today, including heavy damage to a long building which appears' to be a tool shed at the Reppert auction school. The long building, which is used for storing tools and other equipment, is located to the rear of "the school dormatories in the Bellmont Park area. Two large limbs from trees fell on the shed. The roof of the shed was entirely demolished and part t pf the walls were also heavily damaged by the falling limbs. Some of the equipment inside also appeared to be damaged. Numerous limbs, both small and large, were observed around th<l entire Bellmont area, which is heavily wooded.

Fire Hoses, Clubs Used To Stop Rioting DANVILLE, Va. (UPI) - Carbine toting police officers kept a tight patrol today on this shaken tobacco town where Negro demonstrations reached a free swinging climax Monday night in an alley outside the city jail. About 40 Negro teen-agers inarched into the block-long, 20-foot-wide passageway between the jail and city hall to protest the jailing of 63 other persons in two demonstrations earlier in the day. Firemen immediately moved to both ends of the alley and caught the demonstrators in a cross-fire of high pressure water hoses. Then about 35 officers — regular policemen and city employes hastily pressed into service — waded in with nightsticks swinging. Claim Injuries Negro leaders claimed 15 persons were injured, but hospitals in the area could not confirm this. Most of the demonstrators fled, and some were chased as far as two blocks by the officers. One white youngster in the crowd fled with blood flowing from the back of his head and two news photographers were shaken in the violence. One was knocked down by the fire hoses and another had his camera broken. In Atlanta, the Rev. Wyatt Tee Walker, an official of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), which is helping orpani’e the p”otests, termed the incident a “tragedy” and said his or°am ation was considering sending in a “busload of volunteer workers” from Birmingham, Alate assist in the campaign. Warns Demonstrators Mavor Julian Stinson, who said the trouble was caused by “a cou-pie-hundred hoodlums,” promised to fill the jails if necessary. ...... Decatur Man Freed Under Bond Os SIOO Elvin L. Adkins, 21-year-old resident of 401 W. Adams St., was released from the Adams county jail Monday afternoon after posting bond of SIOO.

Details Plan For Dealing With Russia WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Unneu oiaies will seek to increase communications with Russia, to avoid unnecessary irritants, to search for areas of agreement and to avoid pushing the Kremlin into a choice between “humiliating retreat or a nuclear war,” This fundamental philosophy of how to deal with the Russians in a nuclear age, stated Monday by President Kennedy in a major speech, is expected by diplomats to be more prominently recorded in history than his announcements on nuclear testing. The last few hundred words of Kennedy's speech were devoted to announcing that agreement had been reached for high level U.S.-British-Soviet nuclear test ban talks in Moscow next month and that the United States would not conduct atmospheric tests unless others do first.' But most of the address, delivered at American University, was a detailed explanation to the Kremlin, to the .world and to the American public of the policies the Kennedy administration ti attempting to. follow toward Russia. Re-Examines Policies The speech came at a time when U. S. officials believe the Kremlin is facing a period of reexamining its policies. The Communist world has scheduled a series of meetings, culminating

July 5 with talks between Russia and Red China on whether to use hard or soft tactics toward the West. I Khrushchev thus will enter this debate with a clear understanding of U. S. policy. On Russia and the cold war, Kennedy said: “We must conduct our affairs in such away that it becomes in the Communists’ interest to agree on a genuine peace. Above all, while always aefending our own vital interests,
nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which present an adversary with a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a nuclear war.” Envoys Instructed Kennedy said U. S. diplomats were instructed “to avoid unnecessary irritants and purely rhetorical hostilities, for we can seek a relaxation of tensions without relaxing our guard. And, for our part we do riot ned to use threats to prove we are resolute.”
Kennedy’ said efforts to avert nuclear war “will require increase understanding between the Soviets and ourselves. And increased understanding will require increased contact and communication.” JI. S. officials said the talks on nuclear testing to take place in July with the Russians will be below the level of secretary of state. t Trade in r good tewn — Decatur.
