Truck Plunge Into Water Drowns Driver
An Indianapolis truck driver was trapped and drowned today when his vehicle plunged backward into 35 feet of water. Reginald Phillips, 367 W. 15th St., was preparing to dump a load of sand into a gravel pit at 2600 W. Raymond St. when soft earth gave way beneath the rear wheels. The truck slid backward down a 20-foot bank into the water. Mr. Phillips was still in the cab when the truck sank, according to observers, John Schilling, a witness who lives in a trailer near the pit, said the truck “just seemed to slide ®™® right down.”
‘Nothing but Bubbles’ “Its nose flipped up into the alr and it disappeared,” Mr. Schilling told state police and deputy sheriffs who rushed to the scene. “Then I couldn't see anything but bubbles,” he said. State pol'ze immediately rowed out with a grappling hook and sent out a call for a diving helmet. : They said the dirt bank at the east side of the pit, owned by John Jones & Son Gravel Co.

The ‘Rebels’ Ae Winning—
GOP's ‘Home R
Program Appears Doomed
By IRVING LEIBOWITZ
Indiana's State Legislature will wind up its special session fighting federal dictation and welfare secrecy, but will accept federal funds by deferring the effective date of the present “anti-secrecy” welfare law. This future development became obvious today as 21 selfstyled “moderate” Republicans in the House indicated they would not go along with the GOP's “home rule” welfare program, In the Senate, two “moderate” Republicans—Jack Stone, Evansville, and Roy Conrad, Monticello — have already taken an identical stand, ending the slim GOP majority there. .
Form Majority Bloc As 8 a result, a coalition of “moderate” Republicans and Democrats could push through a bill postponing the effective date of the “anti-secrecy” law and end the session. This would allow Indiana to continue to receive federal funds for welfare while fighting against federal dictation and welfare secrecy. The most the Republican Party can hope for is a “deadlock” on the issue.

majority bloc in both houses of the legislature, Politicians in both parties concede privately that this coalition is working together to put off a showdown in Indiana's fight with the federal government over welfare roll se-| crecy. Republicans have 69 seats in the House and the Democrats have 30. -With 21 “moderate” Republicans leaving the GOP on this issue, the Democrats then come up with the majority. There are 13 additional Republicans in the House who are reported “on the fence” and ready to join the “Moderate” GOP'ers. In the Senate, the two Gor ate” Republicans She the SO P’ 26-24 majority. On the issue, the Democrats plus - - “moderate” Republicans now have the 26-24 edge. The government cut off Indiapa’'s welfare funds because of a new state law that lets the public know who gets welfare checks.
