The rebels said troops were marching on Rio from Sao Paulo to demand Goulart’s resignation. Government sources said loyal forces were marching from Rio to Belo Horizonte, cradle of the revolt, to crush the rebels. . Radio broadcasts by both factions indicated the nation was on the brink of all-out civil •war. The powerful 2nd army, based in Sao Paulo, declared against Goulart Tuesday night and jtjs leaders ordered troops to march on Rio. At the same time, Gouf&rt said he was sending troops to crush the rebels in Belo Horizonte, cradle of the revolt. Belo Horizonte is 225 miles north of Rio de Janeiro.

No damage was reported. / of the rebel troop movement. Predicts Rebel Backing The rebel radio in Belo Horizonte predicted that Maj. Gen. Justino Alves Bastos, whose 4th army is based in the northern city of Recife, would join the rebels today. Goulart ordered the replacement of the general commanding the 3rd army, based at Porto Alegre in the south, and it appeared that leaders there were wavering. The situation was reported tense in Recife, a frequent center of Communist-led disorders. Extreme-leftist Gov. Miguel Arraes ordered state troops to emplace machine guns around their barracks, while truckloads of Alves’ troops patroled the streets. Marines loyal to Goulart surrounded the executive mansion in Guanabara state (Rio) where anti-Communist Gov. Carlos Lacerda had taken refuge under the protection of sandbag barricades and state troops. Charge Mutineer Coddling The troops marched toward Rio were said to be under orto “protect the principles of authority” which Goulart’s foes say he violated by “coddling” Rio’s Good Friday mutineers. Goulart freed a group of leftist marines and sailors who defied military authorities over the weekend by barricading themselves in a Communist union haU. This “pocket revolt” touched off the crisis. In Rio, Goulart said he was sending troops to Belo Horizonte — cradle of the reVolt—to crush the rebels there.

Concert Organist Thrills Audience

By Edward E. Liechty One of the tilings readers like you must charitably accept in writers like me is an almost helpless fascination with an artist such as Richard Ellsasser, the “Paganini of the concert organ.” He gave an overwhelming program. Just average listeners and sophisticates, too, found enjoyment in every minute of it. Never has an Adams County Civic Music Association audience cheered and applauded so excitedly ... it threw all restraint to the winds, and gave him a standing ovation, a reflex action that was highly deserved and understandable. Hie. young organ virtuoso seems to be at home in every (repeat every) type of music written or transposed for organ. We have been attending organ recitals for more years than we care to acknowledge. We go on record as saying Ellsasser is the finest talent in his field. Put another way, he is to the organ what Horowitz is to the piano or Heifetz to .the violin. By the way, he has worked and played (ping pong) with Mr. Heifetz, which admittedly has nothing to do with a review excepting to prove that Ellsasser is human and not a demi-god. However, more than once during the concert we caught ourselves wondering if the man was not semi-divine. (You know he did study for the ministry.) Moreover, he served as minister of music at the Wilshire Methodist church of Los Angeles and directed the first seven music festivals of that church. If you are still reading, let us go on to the much abused word “technique” which takes on new meaning when applied to the genius of this young man. His keyboard mastery is crystalclear, his pedaling something to cheer about, and his registration —combinations of the countless stops —is simply unbelievable. About all that, we checked with out own talented organists, Mrs, Lee Neuen and the president of the Civic Music Association, Mrs. Sherman Stucky. They say, “Yes!” The program was not only one to show the possibilities of his chosen instrument but an oppor? tunity to demonstrate the wide range of tone color of the organ in such diversified works as Bach, Mendelssohn, t John Bull, Charles-Marie Wider, Robert Elmore, Sigfried Karg4Slert - aridlast but not least, Richard ElLsasser himself. Each number carried a message provided the head and heart was tuned in right. Varied Program Organist Ellsasser’s varied program opened with the Toccata in F, which is one of Bach’s most exciting and spectacular compositions. In contrast there followed the Fourth Sonata in B Flat, Op. 65: All'l’retto by Felix Mendelssohn where the plaintive reed sings its tender song against the ever - moving humming of the flitting flutes. Music of the early composers concluded with a brilliant “Rondo” by the Englishman, John Bull, known as the Liszt of his age. Ellsasser played it brilliantly. The most musically satisfying portion of the concert was the playing of three movements from Widor’s “Symphony No. 5 in F Minor.” It was a delight to hear at leaSt two of the movements, Allegro vivace and Allegro cantabile, precede the popular “Toccato” which is usually played by itself by recitalists. Ellsasser proved to be an ideal interpreter of Widor, |nd he literally “let go” in exploring the “symphonic” resources of the organ. Following the intermission came Elmore’s “Rhumba” where the main themes are given to the feet with an electrifying result. Ellsasser, we should have , said earlier, commented on the program as it progressed, and at this point he made no bones about the nature of this music by calling it “Walt Disney music.” The Karg-Elert “Seven Pastels: Soul of the Lake” took us to Lake Constance in Switzerland and was program music depicting every type of weather. Lovely solo flutes and harp effects revealed his ingenuity in devising subtle schemes of tone color. Standing Ovation Also included in this section were two of Ellsasser’s pieces, “Scherzo on Mendelssohnian Themes” preceded by _a_ Chorale Prelude based on the English Lullaby (“Greensleeves”).* It was here the audience gave him a. standing ovation which was his due.

Ellsasser played three encores, Rimsky-Korsakoff’s “Flight of the Bumblebee,” a favorite encore piece on many instruments but unusual on the organ, “Moon River” which was really some improvisation, and Leßoy Anderson's “Bugler’s Holiday.” Again the applause was persistent but the organist remained adamant and the cheering eventually came to a halt. Hence, the thing left to do is to “book” him back at the earliest opportunity. That wpuld help get the 100 new members which is the the membership drive in April. 22 POLICEMEN (Continued from Page One) any of this was going on before, it won’t again.” The jury heard 27 police officers testify during the threeweek session as Prosecutor Pearcy, armed with evidence supplied by federal agents, presented his case. Five of the officers called were not indicted and no comment was made as to why. Mullin A Prime Witness Mullin was a primary witness in the investigation. His boss, Mitchell, apparently did not testify as to his police connections on May 31, 1963, when most of the bribes allegedly took place. “It’s a black day for the department,” said an emotion choked Chief Jones as he confronted newsmen following the return of the indictments. He blamed the gamblers as much, or more, than his men for the mess and said the temptation had to be placed there by the racketeers before police officers can be corrupted. Jones bemoaned the fact “our legislature hasn’t given us the right laws” ./and the fact of public apathy toward the gambling operations. He also placed part of the blame on the doomstep of the city fathers, saying part of the problem was the low pay which officers receive while many times risking their lives. Jones said temptations for police will always exist and .noted that there are now three other known gambling operations in addition to the Mitchell business in Indianapolis.

It will be connected with the downtown office by telephone cable, probably, although the telephone company has not yet been contacted. FCC regulations require that an engineer be on duty at all times when the station is operating, at both the tower site, and the downtown studio. Births Mr. and Mrs. James G.

Alaska Offers Population As Aid Security ANCHORAGE, Alaska (UPI) —Alaska today offered its quarter of a million population as security for earthquake disaster aid from the federal government. The 49th state had three of its larger cities—Kodiak, Seward and Vakiez—paralyzed by the Good Friday quake and tidal wave, and thousands of its people lost everything in the disaster. Seward City Manager James Harrison capsuled Alaska’s problems in one statement: "We need a federal grant, we need it fast and it must be made simple.” To Alaskans this is not begging; it is an emergency investment in America’s future. Life Loss Small Alaska’s life loss in the catastrophic quake-tidal wave was proportionately small. Hie state Health Service counted 107, including 24 known dead and 83 missing and presumed dead. However, a state policeman at Kodiak said that island had an additional 15 dead and 36 missing which were not being counted by the Health Service yet. Also unconfirmed on the official list were reports of seven dead and 15 missing at Chenega. This would bring the figure to 180 with 46 dead and 134 missing. First reports said that the death toll might reach 600. But while the death toll fell far short of expectation, the economic loss to Alaska was shattering. Commissioner R. D. Stevenson of the Department of Revenue estimates that in the coming fiscal year the state income from taxation will be down anywhere from 15 to 20 per cent and other state department heads estimate the expenses for rehabilitation in the high( millions. As a typical Alaskan gambling type business executive put it: “Now we have been hit a bad one below the belt and we just don’t have the money to pay two mortgages,” he said. “We must have federal money if Alaska is to remain solvent.” Alaska’s banks have millions out in loans to bush stores, small business enterprises and far-sighted Alaskans who borrowed to the limit for their individual Alaskan development projects. If these individuals collectively go bankrupt economists feel Alaska will suffer a mortal • blow.

Four Teen-Agers Rescued From Cave JEROME, Mo. (UPI) — Four adventurous teen-agers who were lost for 12 hours deep in a maze-like cave were brought out early today by a volunteer rescue team. They were in good condition. A crowd of about 50 persons, including the boys' parents, gathered around bonfires near the cave while amateur spelunkers searched tor the lost youths. Old-timers spun tales about their own experiences in Missouri caves to keep up confidence during the all-night vigil. Police said the youngsters, who were exploring Bruce Cave on the Gasconde River about two miles from here, also built a fire in the cave while they waited for rescuers. The boys were identified as Kennedy Lewis, 15, Gerald Cook, 18, Andy Yousley, 18, and Teddy Miller, 18, all of Rolla, Mb. Police learned the boys were missing Tuesday when a fifth teen-ager, Gary Edgeman, 16, found his way out of the cavern shortly after he lost track of his companions at about 2 p.m. C.S.T. (3 pm. EST). About six students from the Missouri School of Mines at Rolla volunteered to go into the cave and eventually found the missing boys. Marshall Plan Need For Africa Cited GENEVA (UPl)—The West African Republic of Ghana today called for a joint East-West “Marshall plan” to mobilize help for the have-not nations of the world. The plea was presented by Ghana’s Foreign Minister Kojo Botsio to the delegates of 122 nations attending the United Nations conference on trade and development. “An international plan similar to the Marshall Plan now is needed, organized on a truly international basis and this time for the benefit of the less developed countries," he told the delegates. / “Today there is no room for tion of international assistance,” he said. Warning that scattered individual measures, have proved to be inadequate to promote the economic emancipation of the emerging nations he urged a “departure from old modes of thinking and form traditional attitudes toward international trade and development . . .

* M Maa ’ ' More Miners ■ 1 Join Today In Protest Strike I BELLAIRE, Ohio (UPD-Of-ficials of 17 striking locals of the United Mine Workers union gather here today to protest the signing of a new contract with soft coal operators by UMW . ■- international officers. The protest strikes widened Tuesday with more miners joining the ranks of strikers in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, swelling the total to more than 6,000. The unauthorized strikes were called because the locals were not informed in advance of the signing last week in Washington of the new contract. A spokesman for the dissident miners said they objected to the seniority provisions and the retirement clause in the contract. The 17 locals wired UMW President W. A. Boyle asking him to give coal operators 66day notice to negotiate a new contract. The agreements signed by Boyle provide a $2 per day increase for the miners, their first pay raise since 1958. It also provides an additional paid holiday and $25 more in vacation allowance. The pay raise would increase the daily rate to $26.25. Boyle defended the contract as the best ever negotiated in the union’s history. He urged the miner to end the wildcat strike. The protests began last weekend when miners walked off their jobs at the Powhatan, Ohio, mine of the North American Coal Co. and the Ireland operation of the Hanna Coal Co. near Moundsville, W.Va. It has since spread as roving groups of pickets have moved over the area to seek support at other mines and end operations. No violence has been reported. REMC Customers To Get Power Refund Adams county residents on the Jay county REMC line will get 5% of their total 1963 power bills returned to them in the very near future, Harold Floyd, REMC manager, announced to- ' day. A total of $31,399.45 will be returned to REMC subscribers, which include a large number of residents in St. Mary’s township, and south. The REMC has outgrown: its present facility in Portland, and I&M is negotiating with it to buy the building. REMC hopes to start its new building in June, , and complete it in a year.
