Spring Storms Slug Midwest Areas Today - By United Press International Spring storms slugged the Midwest with wintry fury today. More than a foot of snow piled up in Michigan and below zero cold set records. Close to 40 persons were injured by tornadic winds which roamed parts of Missouri, Alabama, Illinois and Indiana Wednesday and Wednesday night. Four traffic deaths in lowa and Missouri were blamed on snow or rain. The new season was almost a week old, but there was nothing springlike about the 13 below zero temperature which toppled a March 26 record ■which has stood for more than 50 years at Bismarck, N.D. Other record lows included 1 below at Des Moines, lowa, and 1 above at Spencer, lowa. It was 19 below at Devils Lake, N.D., and 17 below at Jamestown, N.D. The storm settled down over lower Michigan today and unloaded more than a foot of new snow, whipped by winds up to 40 miles per hour, at Kincheloe Air Force Base. Green Bay, Wis„ got 10 inches of snow and some schools closed in Wisconsin’s Richland Center and Kickapoo Valley areas. To the east, snow, sleet and thundershowers forced Mrs. John F. Kennedy and her two children to postpone an Easter vacation in VERmont. The U.S. Weather Bureau said the Midwest snows would continue through the day and showers and thunderstorms would range the Atlantic Sea-, board from New England to northern Florida. The snow fell as far south as Chicago and as far west as Des Moines. lowa. The weather bureau posted heavy snow warnings through Wisconsin and Michigan. Hazardous driving warnings were in effect southward through northern Illinois and Indiana. Behind the snowstorm, a frigid blast of arctic air sent temperatures skidding below zero on the Northern Plains and pulled the mercury below freezing in Arkansas and Texas. Thunderstorms packing hign winds and drenching rain swept, k a wide area from the Gulf states to the eastern Great Lakes. Management Award To Wilmer Gerber Wilmer J. Gerber, route 4, Decatur, has been presented a sow and pig management award by the Moorman Manufacturing company. The award is being made to hog raisers whose sows wean larger-than-average litters. Gerber received a simulated oak plaque, showing a sow with pigs nursing, which is a reproduction of an original hand-carv-ing done especially for this award.

Parking Tickets To Bluffton Worshipers BLUFFTON, Ind. (UPI) — Worshipers at three Bluffton churches gained an Easter reprieve today from arrest tickets distributed by police for parking violations while attending services. About 30 churchgoers received tickets under their windshield wipers in recent weeks for violating a ban on parking along the west side of Williams street. Indignant drivers from the First Methodist Church, St. Joseph’s Catholic, and Church of the Nazarene complained to police, city councilmen and Mayor Charles Decker. They warned the practice wouldl cut church attendance. Councilmen agreed Tuesday night to grant two weeks of Sunday parking in the restricted area beginning Easter Sunday pending further consideration of the matter. Doubt Fliers To Be Released By Easter BERLIN (UPI) — Western officials here were losing hope today that two American fliers shot down by the Russians over East Germany would be released by Easter. U.S. inquiries to Soviet officials have been fruitless. So far, the Russians have failed to make even preliminary moves toward turning over the two airmen or informing the United States when or where they will be freed, despite an announcement four days ago that such a move was imminent. Secretary of State Dean Rusk said in Washington Sunday that he had been informed by Anatoly Dobrynin, Soviet ambassador to the United States, that the men would be released “in the very nearest future.” The two officers are CaptDavid I. Holland, 35,* of Holland, Minn., and Capt. Melvin J. Kessler, 30, of Philadelphia. Their unarmed R 866 reconnaissance bomber was shot down by a Soviet fighter March 10 when it strayed over a the Communist East German U.S. officials said the plane was off course because of a navigational error. It was announced in Washington that the Air Force has widened the West German “buffer zone” to lessen the chance of further accidental incursions into East Germany. The Air Force said the buffer zone, which had been extended about 30 miles west of the East German border, now reaches 50 to 150 miles westward. The third member of the crew, Lt. Harold Welch, who was injured in parachuting from the disabled plane, was turned over to U.S. Air Force officers in East Germany Saturday. Ruby's New Lawyer To Ask New Trial DALLAS (UPD — Some time within the next 16 days, Jack Ruby’s scholarly new lawyer plans to ask for a new trial, pinning his hopes on more medical tests for Ruby and the support of the entire Law Science Academy of the Univeristy of Texas. Dr. Hubert Winston Smith said Wednesday he hoped to be able to use truth serum and hypnosis in the examinations. Indianapolis Man Is Killed In Accident By United Press International Indiana’s 1964 traffic toll today climbed to 216 compared with 212 highway deaths counted this time last year. William Winchester, 34, Indianapolis, was killled Wednesday night when he lost control of his car along Indiana 100 three miles north of the Hoosier Capital and it slammed into a tree.

Bobby Baker Probe Near To Official End WASHINGTON (UPI) — The five-month-old investigation into the financial transactions of former Senate Aide Robert G. (Bobby) Baker today was all but officially ended. Only one more possible witness, columnist Jack Anderson, still was under consideration. It was considered highly unlikely that he would be summoned to testify. Special counsel Lennox P. McLendon, who has guided the Senate Rules Committee investigation, said that Anderson would be interviewed again today by staff aides. There was no indication when the committee would meet to decide if Anderson should be called. Suggested By Republicans Anderson was suggested as a witness by the committee Republicans. He is a director of Riddle Airlines which billed Baker for charter flight to a fund-raising function in Nevada. McLendon said the staff was already writing a report on the investigation. He said he hoped the investigation was concluded. Without revealing what recommendations for rules of conduct for Senate employes that the committee will propose, McLendon said it was “highly probable” that legislative hearings would be held. At a public hearing Wednesday, a staff accountant-investi-gator, Edward T. Hugler, testified that he had found only minor errors in Baker’s tax returns since 1959. He said the returns did not show “any substantial amount of error in either income or reductions.” McLendon called the mistakes “unsubstantial errors” and said it was highly unlikely any fraud was involved. Mysterious $40,000 Fee The committee was told of a mysterious, $40,000 “fee” listed on Baker’s 1962 income tax return. Accountant Milton L. Hauft testified that Baker had instructed him, without elaboration, to include the “fee” in income listed on the return. Hugler said neither he nor the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) had been able to trace the $40,000. , x • Hauft said in reply to questions that he had no idea whether Baker received the $40,000 from the late Sen. Robert S. Kerr, D-Okla„ or a Kerr enterprise. , Responding to a query by Sen. Hugh Scott, R-Pa., the accountant said he knew only what he read in newspapers about reported efforts by Baker before he resigned last October, to get a statement from Robert S. Kerr Jr. _or Kerrs business associate, Dean McGee, describing such a sum as a loan or gift. Police Slay Three Bandits, Hunt 4th CHICAGO (UPD—-Authorities today expanded their hunt for a supermarket bandit who slipped away frqm a police ambush Wednesday in which three other robbers were shot to death. A house-by-house search by 200 officers Wednesday night turned up no trace of the desperado, identified as Chris Panteas, 28, alias Michael Palasti. Police said Panteas may have been wounded in the exchange of gunfire which killed his three companions. Nine detectives — some of them staked, out in taxi cabs met the bandits when they dashed from a National Tea Co. food store with an estimated SIO,OOO shortly after an armored car delivered several bags of money to the supermarket. The bandits reached their car, sped down the street but turned into an alley which police had sealed off. Two of the robbers smashed out the car’s rear window with their gun butts and fired at police All four then abandoned the car and scurried for cover behind the homes in the neighborhood. Police opened fire. Two bandits fell dead in a gangway between bungalows and a third died on a front lawn. The slain bandits were identified as Neil McCauley, 49; Michael Parille, 37; and Russell Breadon, 40, all of Chicago. Police said all had robbery records. $120,000 Contract To Wabash Company WASHINGTON (UPI) — The General Services Administration has awarded a $120,000 construction contract to Atlas Industries, Inc., Wabash, Ind., for repairing and painting in the U.S. Post Office and Court House at Indianapolis.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Plan Os Guidance Outlined By Dornin A 214-page paper on the cooperative plan of guidance in high schools and admission in Indiana colleges, written by North Adams guidance instructor Deawb T. Dorwin, has been circulated in the March edition of the Indiana Guidance Bulletin, it was learned today. The bulletin is published by the director of guidance, state department of education. Dr. Rolla F. Pruett, under state school superintendent William E. Wilson. The paper concerns a search by some pilot high school guidance departments and the college admission people in Indiana for a “common language” set of applications and school transcripts. Diis would free high school guidance people to spend more time on counseling, and less time filling out countless college applications, and would give admission counselors more time for admissions, and less time for figuring out hundreds of different grading systems, records, transcripts, etc. Dorwin explains how through a Ford Foundation grant, the Indiana schools worked out an inex-„ pensive cooperative program, and he invites the other school systems of the state to adopt the new program, and its many benefits. Lakers Stay Alive, Royals Take Second By United Press International Frank Selvy is going to get his night after all. Selvy, a veteran Los Angeles Laker guard who has announced that he would retire after the current National Basketball Association playoffs, will be honored Saturday night when the Lakers host the St. Louis Hhwks in the fourth game of their playoff series. The Lakers, who lost the first ' two games to the Hawks, finally found the range Wednesday night as they edged St. Louis 107-105. It looked for a while as if the Hawks would sweep the Western Division series and there would be no Frank Selvy night. But Elgin Baylor came, through with one second to play with a 20-foot jump shot to give Los Angeles their must win. In the Eastern Division, the Cincinnati Royals rolled oyer Philadelphia 101-89 to go into a 2-1 lead in their playoff series with the 76ers.

In the Lakers’ victory, St. Louis, down by as much as 16 points in the first period, finally tied the score 105-105 with 27 seconds left. Los Angeles took possession of the ball with 11 seconds to go and Baylor dribbled until the last possible moment before arching the gamewinning shot. Jerry West, who had been having shooting troubles during the last part of the season, led the Lakers with 39 points. . The Lakers and St. Louis play the fourth game Saturday and Cincinnati and Philadelphia also play their next game Saturday.

SENATE * Continued rrom Page One) port Morse’s committee referral motion, Dirksen spelled out in detail his proposed revisions to the bill’s section on banning job discrimination against Negroes or other minority groups He skipped his proposed amendment to the public accommodations section. He plans to spell out these details later. Morse Seeks Cloture Morse, in his own prepared speech, argued that judiciary committee hearings were vital to increase support 'for cloture—the gag rule —to break the forthcoming Dixie filibuster against the bill. This is expected to start Monday. “It is time for a meaningful civil rights bill, not just another oratorical exercise,” Morse said in reviewing what happened in 1957 and 1960 when modified civil rights bills were passed. “We will not get a meaningful bill until we can get cloture,” Morse added, “and I am doubtful that we can get it so long as we follow the procedure of bypassing a committee.” Southerners spent almost three weeks in what they called an “educational campaign” — talking on Mansfield’s motion to take up the bill—before allowing it to come to a vote today. But the Dixie senators have oily begun to talk—and their full-blown filibuster on the civil rights legislation may last weeks or months. Award Certifi’cates To School Patrols The Chicago Motor Chib, which pioneered the school safety patrol movement in 1920, announced today that five schools in the North Adams area whose patrol units have maintained perfect ac-cident-free records during 1963, have been presented special certificates of award. Those schools receiving motor club awards are: St. Joseph, Lincoln, Monmouth, Northwest, and Zion Lutheran. Gordon Lindquist, director of ~ safety and traffic engineering for the motor club, praised the schools for their outstanding traffic safety achievemehts during the recently concluded calendar year. The schools are among some 3,100 public, parochial, and private schools to receive the motor club Furnace Overheats, Firemen Are Called Local firemen were called this morning when a gas furnace at the home of Devon Clifton, 410 S. 13th St., overheated.

Space Triple-Header Planned April 6-8

CAPE KENNEDY (UPD— The United States plans a space triple-header April 6-8 with three shots that have a role in America’s drive to the moon, it was learned today. The launches, to four straight space setbacks here, include the first flight in the nation’s second man-in-space venture. Here is the schedule as it stands today: —April 6: The first project Fire Shot that will drive a spacecraft into the earth’s atmosphere at speeds up to 25,000 miles per hour to study the heat that returning moonships will encounter; , —April 7: An unmanned orbital shot in the Gemini manned space flight program; —April 8: The third orbital firing of the experimental Centaur space rocket that is to hurl a surveyor “softlanding” moon exploration craft to the moon next year. Structural Test The Gemini shot, to fill a void in the man-in-space program created with the end of the Mercury program last May, will be a structural test of the modified Titan-2 booster and its 7,000-pound two-man Gemini WALLACE (Continued from Page One) in Chicago he would file his petition at 4 p.m. today.

spacecraft. The Gemini capsule, a basic production model stripped of its life support gear, carries only enough equipment to take temjierature, pressure and vibration measurements on its climb into orbit. No attempt will be made to recover the craft. If all goes well, a second unmanned launch is expected in August and the first manned shot could come in December or early next year. The Gemini program is designed to keep two men in orbit for up to two weeks to develop rendezvous techniques for lunar missions.

Study Air Friction An Atlas rocket will. be used in the Project FIRE Shot. It will boost a spacecraft weighing about 185 pounds several hundred miles into The instrumented re-entry vehicle is expected to nose over and a small solid fueled rocket will drive it back into the earth’s atmosphere. With the test, scientists hope to study the heat caused by air friction and its effects, on spacecraft entering the atmosphere at high speeds. Also of interest is the communications blackout during re-entry. The Centaur launch will be the third in an eight-shot program to perfect a powerful hy-drogen-fueled upper stage for Atlas boosters. Hie first Centaur attempt failed but the second shot, last November, was a success and its burned out rocket casing is still in orbit.
