Tri Kappa Benefit Party Held Tuesday

More than 200 fashion conscious women attended the annual Tri Kappa benefit card party and style show, held at the Youth and Community Center, Tuesday evening. The crowd came early and stayed late, as the various groups were seated at card tables around the stage to play their favorite games of cards, apparently ranging from Chinese checkers to several sporting games of bridge. The large auditorium of the center was transformed into a cupid's dream, with rows and rows of pink, red and white streamers, extending from lovely decorated bird cages hanging from the higji ceiling. Large and small cupils themselves, hearts galore and bright red and white flowers completed the dcorations, all in the Valentine motif. White wrought iron garden furniture, loaned by Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Ellsworth, was the focal point of the stage, along with a gaily decorated bird cage and other hearts and flowers the enFive Persons Hurt As Train Derailed SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPD— Work crews labored today to clear away the wreckage of a passenger train which derailed here Tuesday, injuring five persons and shaking up several others. Authorities said only the fact the speeding train struck a cement abutment as it hurtled off the tracks may have kept it from plunging off a viaduct to a street 20 feet be low 4 “God was very good to us,” said Mrs. Harry Marmon, Toledo, Ohio, a passenger who escaped injury. The passenger said the New York Central Railroad’s “Chicagoan,” apparently started to leave the tracks at a switch about 1,000 feet east of the spot where the five derailed passenger cars came to rest after hitting the abutment. Two diesel locomotives and a mail car separated from the rest of the train and traveled several hundred feet further before the mail car left the tracks. The locomotives were not derailed. None of the injured was hurt seriously although Mrs. Cleo Ford, 50, Cleveland, Ohio, was trapped for half an hour under a table in the dining car. Police finally pried the table off her and then lifted her out the car window on a stretcher. Three of the injured were released after treatment at South Bend Memorial Hospital and doctors said the others probably would be released soon. The train’s speed at the time of the accident was a matter of dispute. Conductor Maurice Wilson, 62, Elkhart, said the train was traveling at about 60 miles per hour. S. A. Michael, a Railway Express employe, who was riding in the first passenger car, said the speed was about 80 mph. Passengers said they heard a rumbling sound as the train left the tracks and then were thrown from their seats into the aisles with luggage flying around them. "It seemed like an eternity but it was only a matter of seconds,” said Air Force Staff Sgt. Billy Crowley, Dover, Del. Michael said that when he “felt the wheels go out from under me, I just sat there and covered my face.” The accident occurred about a mile east of the South Bend station on a complex of tracks shared by the New York Central and the Grand Trunk Western Railroad. Officials said only two of the tracks were blocked and that the wreckage would be removed by this afternoon. Lady Bandit Foiled At Hollywood Bank HOLLYWOOD (UPD — A woman handed a note to a bank teller Tuesday stating. “I have a gun and I want money.” The teller — Netalia Yermilow, 27 — read the note, folded it neatly and calmly handed it back. “Sorry, you’ll have to go to the next window,” she told the woman. The would-be lady bandit took the note and ran out the door of the Bank of America’s Western- Santa Monica branch here. 'Fiddling Around' Expenditure Scored PIERRE, S. D. (UPD — State Comptroller John C. Penne’s investigators while auditing the books of Oacoma, S. D., found an expenditure of $lO listed as “fiddling around.” Penne said the Oacoma officials used “too colorful language” in their reports.

INDIANA STATE (Continued rrom Page One) Supreme Court. The court, held that Welsh waited too long to veto four bills passed near the end of the regular session of the 1963 Legislature, and that all four bills became law. Hendricks said he is preparing to go through the procedures of legalizing the four bills as laws as rapidly as he can. He said he will have the measures printed and delivered to county clerks and will declare them laws as soon as the delivery is completed. Would Cause Chaos Welsh told newsmen he felt the reapportionment bill could be “successfully challenged as far as its constitutionality is concerned but I hope an attempt will not be made to do so at this time or the election will be thrown into utter chaos.” He said he was not backing down from his veto message criticizing the bill but feels “this is the best we have and we’d better go forward with i.t” “My reason is that between now and the primary it would not be possible to have a final determination. We have to have rules which everyone knows well in advance,” Welsh said. “I would hate at this point to see further litigation that would cloud the issue.” “However,” he added, “I would surely hope that the next legislature would enact a more equitable reapportionment bill. I think it will have to do so to meet the test of the federal constitution.” Feels Bill Acceptable Steers said he felt that a three-judge federal panel now reviewing Indiana’s legislative representation would be willing to accept the 1963 plan for the next election. “The new bill is much better than "the 1921 act they were ready to let us proceed upon for one more time,” he said. Although Welsh was ready to take the apportionment bill as law. he backed away from a measure allowing the Indiana Bumped By Camel, Woman Suing Zoo SAN DIEGO, Calif. (UPD — A $30,000 damage suit was on file today against the San Diego Zoo in which a Stanford, Conn., woman claims she was bumped into by a camel. Mrs. Gerald F. O’Hagan claimed in the action brought Monday that the zoo was negligent in maintaining a section called the Children’s Zoo. She said that while on vacation here March 10, 1963, the camel and other animals “violently collided with her.” Trade In a good town — Decatur

Supreme Court to name special prosecutors in counties in which it believes local law enforcement has broken down. “I still stand on my veto,” he said. “I am sure a challenge will be filed.” Welsh said he had asked Welfare Administrator Albert Kelly to prepare a memorandum showing the cost of Indiana participation in the Kerr-Mills program for medical care for the aged. Because the bill supposedly was vetoed, no funds were included in the budget but certain welfare appropriations are “open end” and can be increased.
