Gale Drives Mercury “Down to 18 Here

‘Relief was on the way for winterchilled Hoosiers today as they shook off the effects of two days of bitter wind and snow. The official forecast was for continued cold tonight but slowly rising temperatures tomorrow. Skies. will remain clear today, the weather bureau said. . The spring blizzard blew into Indianapolis Monday ‘night on a 70-mile-an-hour gale, icing roads, in-

. Four Killed in State At least four deaths in the state were attributed indirectly -to the storm. As the gale-driven snow eut a swath across the Midwest, overall property damage mounted into millions. I The four Hoosier storm victims! were Peter Harris, 61,-and Alpha Stout, 54, both of Valparaiso, Mirko Markovitch, 60, of -Gary, and Delbert Rideley, 77, of Monroe City. The Valparaiso men were killed by a Pennsylvania railroad train as | they swept snow from a switch during the blinding storm. Mr. attack | attributed to the cold, and Mr, Rideley was killed by a heavy door, blown from its hinges by the wind. Temperatures in Indianapolis and central Indiana dipped below the 20 mark last night and the tem-| perature here still was down to 18 at 6 a. m, Roads Remain Icy State police warned roads re- | mained hazardous. Ice on main | highways stalled heavy trucks on | steep grades during-‘the night. 2 state traffic was snarled at several points. The storm, diminishing in intensity, swept on toward the northeast and then moved southward, bringing freezing temperatures as far down the coast as North Caro-! lina and snow to Tennessee. The freeze staved off—at least | temporarily—the threat of floods In storm-bruised Michigan, The Red Cross warned that floods were expected along the Susquehanna and its tributaries in southern New York. Winds ranged from 40 miles an hour at Buffalo to about 20 miles an hour at North Carolina. California and Arizona sweltered in a heat wave, but there were scattered snow flurries nearly everywhere east of Chicago. From lower Michigan east to New York state, strong winds blew the snow into drifts, There was eight inches of snow at Cleveland, 16 inches at Alpena, Mich, 12 at Saginaw, Mich, and six at Grand Rapids, Mich. Nashville, Tenn. reported an *occasional snow flake” today.

"You Could Feel Death Rolling Through the Shaft’

By JOHN PICK JR. (As Told te the United Press) CENTRALIA, Ill, March 26.— looked at my watch and saw it 0 pretty near quitting time. That]

| was around 3:30 yesterday after-

noon. We started up, laughing ike we always do, and thinking of that fresh air we would be getting in a few minutes. We were about 500 feet underground when all of a sudden there was a rumbling explosion that rocked everything. I was knocked cold for a minute. When I came to I could feel the earth still trembling. There was so much dirt and coal dust it was almost impossible to breathe. = n » YOU COULD just feel death rolling through the tunnels and corridors. There was terrible confusion, enough to make a man crazy. I felt sick all over. = | I could smell death, too. It was that awful coal gas, the stuff we're scared of all day and have nightmares about all night. You smell it. Then {if there's enough of it around it just rolls over you like a blanket. It traps you in a hole and snuffs out your life.

The charge was desertion.

Cover ‘All Possibilities’ In response to questions from Senator Styles Bridges (R. N. H.), Adm. Nimitz said the army and navy had -made plans covering all possibilities from employment of “local forces” to “participation in a major war.” Directives already have gone out to commanders in various areas, he said, concerning defense of the United States against attack from any approach. Last November, he added, the joint chief of staff approved an industrial mobilization plan. , Plan Alaskan Defense Adm. Nimitz went .on to say that the army and navy have developed joint plans for defense of such out~ lying bases as Alaska and Guam. And citing the recently announced long-range plans for -common defense with Canada, and the agreement with, the Philippines providing for military bases there, he added: “That should dispose of any doubt that planning is going on on an active basis.” “That's what I wanted to hear,” Senator Bridges said. “I'm delighted. It gives me a feeling of confidence.”
