Arctic Cold Mass Moving Info Midwest By -United Press International Another, Arctic Cold mass clipped into the northern Midwest today, threatening to end a short lived thaw in the nation’s eastern two thirds. Occasional snow was expected - from the northern plains over the Great Lakes and into the northern Appalachians. Cold Canadian winds began blowing across Minnesota and North Dakota. Throughout the South and into the Ohio Valley, temperatures warmed after a night of subfreezing readings in northern Florida. Rising temperatures Wednesday turned Christmas snows into .slush. Icy patches on highways proved deceptive to motorists and helped boost the holiday traffic toll past 200. A real warming trend spread across the Central and Southern Plains. Norfold, Neb., reported an all-time high Christmas Day temperature of 63.1 degrees. The mercury poked above freezing in most of the frostbitten North and edged into the 40s and 50s across the Plains and Midwest. Junction, Tex., recorded 76 Wednesday and Carlsbad, N.M., had 75 for the nation’s highest readings. Idaho was the country’s ice box with a 5 below reading at Idaho Falls and 4 below at Malad City. The weather bureau said the warming trend would extend across the southland during the day and move up into the Ohio Valley. Slightly cooler weather was on tap for most of the Plains. Upper Great Lakes, Northern Rockies and Plateau area. New England will get some light snow before the day ends, ’jthe weather bureau said, and occasional drizzle was forecast for the Pacific Northwest. Polio Case Total Remains At Four INDIANAPOLIS <UPI) -Indiana's polio case total last week remained at four, the same number it has been for weeks, the Indiana State Board of Health reported today.

Confront Each Other Wednesday night, Greek and Turkish forces stationed on the island under the 1960 independen c e agreement confronted each other on the streets of the capital. There were no reports ol firing between them, and a government spokesman denied a report that police took 500 Turkish Cypriots hostage. Cyprus’ population is 80 per cent Greek and 20 per cent Turkish, Britain is involved because the island’s government, headed by Greek Orthodox Archbishop Makarios as president, is a British Commonwealth member. Britain also retains bases here. Turkey, only about 50 miles-, from the island, sent two fighter planes over Nicosia Wednesday as a warning. Larry W. Hill Is Promoted By Navy CHARLESTON, S. C.

First Lady Frets Over Late Dinner

JOHNSON CITY (UPD—It was enough to try the soul of any housewife. Christmas afternoon, an enormous turkey done to a crisp and getting crispier by the moment; twenty-seven assorted relatives lounging- in sitting rooms and hallways, casting anxious eyes toward the dining room as they awaited dinner. And then the man of the house gets a brilliant idea—he wants to show a group of 60 itinerant friends through the house, bedrooms and all. This was the situation confronted Wednesday afternoon by Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson. Invites Reporters The President had invited 60 reporters and photographers to his ranch after they requested a Christmas photograph of the First Family, including the two young ladies of the family, Lynda, 19, who was there with her fiance, Lt. (j.g.) Bernard Bosenbach of Comfort, Tex., and Lucy, 16. ■*'' # The President decided that it would be a good idea to give the assembled news party a brief tour of the house. After visiting the dining room, where the ice was melting in 28 sparkling glass water gobjets, and on into the President’s office where an eight-foot native cedar Christmas tree dominated the room, the President led his visitors through two crowded living rooms. He wanted to take the newsmen through the family sleeping quarters and out into a patio. Bedroom Door Locked The door to the bedroom area, however, was locked. The President a tapped on it several times. A sly smile spread over the President’s face. Mrs. Johnson has locked the bedroom door on me,” he said. “Miss Lady Bird” as she is called around the ranch or simply “Bird’’ as the chief addresses his wife, opened the aoor moments later. Soon the reporters left and the President went inside for Christmas dinner. Once the large meal was completed, Johnson and his old friend, A. W. Moursund who has a large ranch nearby, took a helicopter ride to a 4,451-acrfe ranch about 45 miles to the north. This is the so-called Haywood Ranch which Johnson and Moursund own in partnership. They scooted around Travis Lake, within the ranch property, in an outboard and then returned to the LBJranch for the evening meal. This ;time there were no reporters or photographers around to hold up the proceedings. EIGHT DIE (Continued rrom Page One) front of a car in Mrs. Dolores Carpenter, 32, Goshen, was killed late Tuesday night on U.S. 3e near Elkhart when a car ran off the road and hit a tree. Decatur Youth Hurt In Accident Today Larry Wayne Davis, 19-y ear-old resident of 922 N. Eleventh,St., is in the Lutheran hospital in Fort Wayne today, recovering from injuries received in a one-car crash in Allen county early this morning.

Davis was southbound on U.S, 27, five miles south of Fort Wayne, when the crash occurred at 1:30 a m. His auto went out of control, left the road on the right side crossed back over th? highway and went into a snow bank and dich on the left sid<>. Indiana state police investigated. Jobless Pay Claims Increase In State INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Unemployment insurance claims in Indiana climbed to 41,540 last week-an increase of 3,000 over the week before but still below the 54,000 recorded during that week yast year.

Former French Officer Faces Treason Trial PARIS (UPD—Former Col. Antoine Argoud, went on trial here today on charges of treason and plotting to kill President Charles de Gaulle. Argoud had threatened to refuse to attend the trial, but he allowed himself to be led into a crowded courtroom in the heavily guarded Hall of Justice. Under Article 411 of the French penal code, defense attorneys would not have been allowed to plead for him if he had not been present. Argoud, 49, a former tank corps commander with a brilliant World War II record, appeared in coqrt 10 months to the day after he was found gagged and bound in a small truck here. Security surrounding the court was stepped up amid fears someone might try to kill the handsome former officer to avenge the deaths of Moslems during the fighting that preceded independence in Algeria. Argoud could be sentenced to death. The government claims Argoud deserted the French army in 1961 and joined the terrorist Secret Army Organization (OAS), which fought against Algerian independence. The government alleges he took control within France of the OAS and its political arm, the National Resistance Council (CNR), on the orders of exGen. Raoul Salan, imprisoned OAS leader. Argoud claims he was kidnaped by French secret agents last Feb. 25 in Munich, Germany, beaten and driven across the Franco - German border in violation of international law. The French .government claimed he was turned 'over to police by disgruntled fellow terrorists. r The case aroused critical reaction in, Germany, where the opposition Social Democratic party has demanded Argoud be returned to Germany as a political exile. Happy Christmas For Kennedy Children PALM BEACH, Fla. (UPD— The infectious joy of Caroline and John Kennedy at Christmas time brought happiness to the mourning wife of the late President. For one of the few times since the death of her Mrs. John F. Kennedy acknowledged the greetings of a crowd of about 150 well-wishers who gathered outside the ocean-front mansion of her father-in-law, former Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy. She smiled and waved a white-gloved hand Wednesday as she entered a car to travel the two miles to the estate where she is staying with her two children. The first Christmas for the Kennedy family without the assassinated President was a quiet on e — presents were opened, then church and then a family dinner. < Caroline, 6 and three-year-old “John John” were up early and dived into a huge pile of gifts with the well-known Kennedy exuberance. Mrs. Kennedy looked on and occasionally gave John Jr. a helping hand with a tightly wrapped package he couldn t open fast enough. John, who apparently inherited his father’.? fondness for the Navy, got a toy boat. A family spokesman said the youngster also got a helicopter and some airplanes. His sister received several dolls and “girl’s toys.” The children, caught up in the excitements of their ; presents, were allowed to remain at home while Mrs. Kennedy drove to the nearby residence of her father-in-law for a private midday Mass. - It you aave something to sell or trace — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results

NEW 95-FOOT BUCKET truck used by Indiana & Michigan Electric company linemen puts them within reach of most of the utility’s highest 345,000-volt transmission lines. Standing in the insulated bucket, the I&M linemen work with their bare hands on the line. J The bucket is lined with a metal mesh that is connected by clamps to the conductor on which the men are working, thus energizing the screen and the linemen at the same voltage as the line. Their safety is provided for by the insulated boom which protects them from the difference in voltage between the ground and the live conductor. Mounted on an International Harvester truck body, the hydraulic insulated aerial boom and bucket are manufactured in Fort Wayne by Mobile Aerial Towers, Inc.

Four years ago Indiana & Michigan Electric company placed into service throughout its service area a fleet of Hi-Banger bucket trucks equipped with aerial lifts extending up to 52 feet to enable linemen to speed repair work on a variety of utility ’assignments. Now the 52-foot ceiling has been extended to 95 feet with the recent addition of a giant Hi-Ban-ger that will put I&M linemen in reach of most of its highest 345,000-volt transmission lines for the performance of the revolutionary “bare-hand” line repair operation. Like the 21 other bucket trucks in use in the utility’s two-state service area, the new model comes complete with a hydraulic insulated aerial boom with bucket platform attached. The only major difference from the conventional bucket truck is its longer, 95-foot “arm.’ The bucket truck may be operated from either the truck cab or the bucket itself, permitting maximum maneuverablity to workmen in the bucket in best positioning themselves for a particular assignment. Standing in the insulated bucket, I&M linemen made electric utility history in IMI by working with their bare-hands on a line carrying 345,000 volts of electricity. This historic linerepair operation, a culmination of an extensive research and development program conducted by engineers at I&M and its parent firm, American Electric Power company, since has been adopted throughout the utility’s two-state service area. Bare-hand work is done also on 138,000-, 69,000-, and 34,500-volt lines. The technique is the reverse of conventional practice and utilitizes the principle that current does not flow when there is no difference in voltage between two points.

formers have become relatively simple chores with the bucket truck. The use of ladders and the climbing of poles by linemen are now a thing of the past on these jobs. Elimination of the need for pole climbing with the use of the bucket truck becomes a major asset in the event of a sleety or ice storm when damage to transmission and distribution lines may be heavy.‘Linemen can effect repairs to the line, replace transformers or change line insulators in a fraction, of the time formerly required. The new 95-foot Hi-Banger adds another 40 feet to the linemen’s reach and is an extension of a new concept first introduced four years ago to improve the methods and techniques of electric utility operations with a goal of better and more reliable service for the customer. Father Os I. U. President Is Dead rfICKMAN, Ky. (UPD — Indiana University President Elvis J. Stahr, Jr., traveled here today to join his mother after the Christmas Day death of his father, Circuit Judge Elvis J. Stahr, Sr., 77.
