INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Governor Welsh today unveiled a pilot plan for taking out-of-work youths off the streets and get them jobs. Welsh announced that a conservation work carpp will be opened Sept. 3 at Harrison State Forest under the co-sponsorship of five state agencies. One-hundred young men, 17-to 23 years' bf age, will be selected from among about 16,000 registered with the Indiana Employment Security Division in this age group as seeking work and not able to find it. They will be paid $75 a month for work in the loi ests and will get their bed arid board. An old Civiliap Conservation Corps camp at Harrison State Forest will serve as their headquarters. First of its Kind “This is the first of its kind in the country as far as I know,” Welsh explained. “It is a logical approach, if it works.” . He said in addition to a 40-hour

work week, the youths selectee will get training to help them land jobs at the end of the 60-day period. Welsh said part of the $15,000 to be paid the youths for their twomonth work will come from cigaret taxes dedicated to the Department of Conservation and the rest from State Forest funds. The camp will be run by an in-ter-departmental committee consisting of Director Donald Foltz of the Indiana Department of Conservation as chairman with the head of the Indiana National Guard, IESD, the Indiana Youth Council and the Department of Public Instruction working with him. Work Outlined ‘ We will use personnel already available in these five agencies.” Welsh explained. “These 100 men will be selected by Employment Security from all over the state from among young men who hive expressed a desire.to find work. They will do work* in the forest building roads, constructing family camping facilities, fire breaks and other useful Outdoor work.” Other work projects will include repair of shelter houses, development of hiking trails, and planting and seed preparation. An integral part of the program is guidance and counseling designed to help the young men to qualify for employment. Welsh said short courses would be arranged by the Department of Public Instruction and that the IESD would train the young men in job interviews. Welsh said this first camp will be a pilot project to see what can be done involving the problem of “the unemployed youth who is looking for work.” “This plan has been in preparation almost a year and a selection of the young men will start very soon,” Welsh said.

Drought Threat Spreading In Midwest Area By United Press International A worsening drought threatened to reach disaster proportions throughout parts of the Midwest today, cutting the wheat yield and posing a threat to the fall crops. A U.S. Department of agriculture disaster committee was to meet in Washington today to consider Gov. John Reynolds* request to declare 20 Wisconsin counties drought disaster areas. In the Oklahoma Panhandle a request was made for a drought designation, but Gov. Henry Bellmon rejected it, saying dry weather was one of the hazards of farming. Some areas of southwestern Kansas have been de cla re d drought stricken. The wheat crop suffered considerable damage in western Kansas, although farmers said they got a better yield than they expected. In southwest lowa and northwest Missouri farmers decided to reactivate a cloud-seeding program they said was highly successful in 1957. They said they were eight inches deficient in rainfall for the season. A drought disaster designation permits farmers under certain conditions ’ to graze soil bank acres, get low interest loans and buy government grains at low prices. < Nearly all parts of Indiana, except in the southwest and southcentral 'counties, were short of moisture. Agricultural reporters said the corn crop and the tomatoes especially needed rain. There was a 30,000-square-mile area of southwest Kansas, the Oklahoma and Texas , Panhanhandles, northeast New Mexico and southeast Colorado that suffered f rom lack of rains this spring, but recent moisture has ameliorated the situation. Rainfall Wednesday was sparse across the nation. Tampa, Fla., got 1.77 inches, but otherwise the amounts ranged from .43 inches at Charleston, S.C., to none at most places. Salina, Kan., got half an inch. The temperature continueed setting cool records. New lows, July 10 included 42 at Findlay, Ohio; 45 at Cincinnati; 46 at Cleveland and Pittsburgh; 44 at at Milwaukee, Wis., and 49 at Windsor Locks, Conn. Additional Funds For I.U. Building INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana Bridget Agency announced today it has allocated $700,0b0 in additional funds for the Geological Survey Building under construction at Indiana University. The structure is the property of the Indiana Department of Conservation. Also approved was expenditure of $225,000 to buy the 1.270-acre Baker Ranch in Newton County from Bradley University as part of the fish and game commission of the Conservation Department in the Kankakee area. Os this, seventy-five per cent would be federal money. i® Other authorized expenditures: Monroe Reservoir $400,000; Indiana State College, tunnel and utility extension $145,000; Muscatatuck State School, rehabilitation of sewage plant, $75,000; Fort Wayne State School, purchase of property, $14,500; and $59,670 to the circuit courts of Indiana.

Stale Department To Appeal Ruling HUDSONVILLE, Ind. (UPI)— The State Department of Conservation will appeal to the Indiana Supreme Court a lower court ruling which Direc tor Donald Foltz says ‘‘strikes at the very roots of the right of eminent domain.” Foltz announced plans for the appeal during a speech Wednesday at groundbreaking ceremonies for a new dam at the Glendale Game Preserve near here. It was the taking of land for the dam ‘which produced the ruling in Daviess County Circuit Court.. • ;w ,Foltz said Judge Fred. Dobbyn had handed down two judgments allowing landowners to retain frontage on the 1,300-acre lake to be created by the dam built with state and federal funds. He said that, in effect, “a court told the state it did not have the right to eminent domain, that the court itself could say what land could be acquired and what could not be acquired.” Foltz said that ‘‘no lawyer has any quarrel with the age old right of the co urt to adjudicate the amount the landowner should be reimbursed but, by the same token, we intend to uphold the age old right of the administrative bodies of government to exercise its right of eminent domain.” Dobbyn ruled that one person could retain a 76-acre lake frontage and another could keep a nine-acre frontage. The state had sought to obtain the land to provide public access to the entire lake and to prevent any landowner from benefitting by frontage on the big new lake to be created with completion of the dam next year.

Polish Family Flees To Berlin Asylum

BERLIN (UPI) — A Polish air force major who flew to asylum in West Berlin with his family in a two-Weater training plane looked forward today to building a new life ‘‘where people are not pushed around.” “I was tired of pressures,” he said. Maj. Ryszard Obacz, a decorated 34-year-old jet pilot, packed his 27-year-old wife, Maria, and their two sons, Lestow, 9, and Kryzystof, 5, into the cramped Polish air force plane Wednesday in Nadarzyce, Poland, 80 miles north of Poznan. Then he cooly flew the slowmoving single-engined Aircraft near tree-top level 150 miles across Poland and East Germany to the U.S. Air Force’s Templehof Airfield ’in West Berlin, where he landed and requested asylum. First Such Flight It was the first time anyone had fled to West Berlin from behind the Iron Curtain in an airplane, although other defectors have flown to West Germany itself. West Berlin is separated from West Germany by 110 miles of Communist territory. An American official, asked if the request would be granted, said, “He’s here, isn’t he?” The plane probably will be returned to Poland. To keep them from worrying,

No One Injured In Pair Os Accidents J A pair of accidents occurred on U. S. 27 near Berne Wednesday, with no injuries resulting.

Schwartz. 60, of route 1, Portland, in the rear in an accident at 1:20 p. m. on 27, three miles north of Berne. Both autos were northbound, with the Milanawski car following the Schwartz car, and both were in the act of passing a truck. An undentified vehicle turned off county road 16 and in attempting to avoid collision with the car, the mishap occurred. The unidentified car failed to stop. Damages were listed at $250 to the Milanowski car and SSO to the Schwartz auto. Two Involved “ Lawrence Wildas Eicher, 53, of route 2, Betne, was arrested for failure to have brake lights on his pick-up truck in working order, following an accident at 7:55 p. m., at the south drive of the Home Dairy north of Berne. Eicher yas southbound and when he started to turn his pick-up was hit in the rear by a southbound car driven by Larry Duane Bollenbacher, 21, of Geneva. Bollenbacher did not see the truck stopping for the turn, as the brake lights were not working. The truck was not damaged but damage to Bollenbacher’s auto was estimated at $125. The sheriff s department and Indiana state police investigated both mishaps. Save Millions Os Lives By Shelters WASHINGTON (UPD - U. S. civil defense chief Steuart L. Pittman estimates that a national fallout shelter system would save 35 to 70 million lives in a nuclear attack. Pittman told Congress Wednesday the program’s cost would be $5.8 billion, with the federal government paying 2.S billion and the state and Ideal governments paying the remainder. This would average about S4B for each American, he said.

Obacz had told his wife and children they were heading for Stettin, just east of the Polish-East German border, to visit friends. “It was the first time I ever lied to my wife in our marriage,’’ he said. Mrs. Obacz appeared happy with his decision. Seeks Free Life Speaking through an interpreter, Obacz said he made the flight because he “wanted to come to a place of open friendships.” "I wan te d to work toward truth...” he said. “I wanted to go where people are riot pushed around.” Obacz said morale is low in the Polish air force. “The mood is very bad,” he said. "Most officers are fed up just as I was. We want the right to travel where we want to, the right of free speech, the right to work for a good cause.” He said the toughest part of the trip was getting the whole family into the small two-seater plane. Obacz sat in the pilot’s seat. His wife was in the rear seat and the two boys crouched between their mother’s legs under the rear cockpit control panel. Receives Permission He had received permission to take his wife and children along on a practice flight “to get in flying time” and had filed a flight plan to Stettin. Obacz, an air force officer since 1948, planned the escape carefully. Russian and East German radar stations guard the border and track all aircraft. “I knew the exact location of all radar stations and kept as far away from t hem as I possibly could,” he said. “I also flew as low as I could to evade radar.”
