17 More Killed In State Traffic Indiana’s week-long lull In traffic fatalities came to a shocking halt Sunday when 17 persons were killed and a week end toll of 19 was registered to raise the 1966 total road deaths to 1,188 compared with 1,105 a

year ago.

The first seven days of October passed with only 63 fatalities, far below normal for the deadly month, and by Saturday midnight, with more than half the 66-hour weekend gone, only two were killed since the counting period began. But Sunday more than made up for the slack. One grinding crash after another snuffed out lives at the rate of nearly one

every hour.

The worst accident occurred Sunday night in Hammond when four members of a Gary family perished when their car hit a bridge abutment on the Tri-State Expressway. Killed were David Boxley, 30, his wife, Shirley, 20, and their children, Wanda, 8, and Larry, 7 months. Another child, Terry, 2, was injured critically and hospitalized at Hammond. James Boxley, 32, brother of David and driver of the car, also was hurt critically and Wesley Boxley, 4, was in fair

condition.

The first weekend accident happened Saturday night at the intersection of Indiana 29 and Indiana 218 in Carroll County near Delphi. Sam Keith, 18, and George Pemberton, 24, both of Kokomo, were killed in a cartruck collision. Mrs. Delores Phillips, 21, Indianapolis, was killed Sunday night in a collision on U. S. 40 in eastern Marion County. Police said a car driven by her husband, Denzil, went out of control, veered into the wrong lane of traffic and collided with a truck and car. Marvin Morrical, 32, Fort Wayne, became the 62nd motorcycle fatality of the year Sunday when his cycle went out of control and crashed along U .S. 33, seven miles northwest of Fort Wayne. Authorities said Morrical was hurled against a utility pole as the cycle overturned in a ditch. Salvatore Giosh, 56 .Chicago, and his wife, Isabell, 65, were killed Sunday when their car collided with a truck on U. S. 31 at the north edge of South Bend. Police said Mrs. Giosh apparently lost control of the car as they left the Indiana Toll Road and skidded into the path of a truck driven by William Reader, 32, Fort Wayne. V. L. Tuck, 36, Indianapolis, was killed Sunday when his car went out of control on U. S. 31 near Carmel and hit a guard rail and utility pole. He was thrown out and crushed. A two-car crash on Indiana 65 north of Armstrong in Vanderburgh County Sunday killed Mrs. Esther Elpers, 54, R. R. 1, Haubstadt, and Richard Garrett, 23, Owensville. Police said Garrett lost control of his car and it collided with an auto driven by Anthony Elpers, 57. Elpers and his son, Richard, 14, were injured critically. Charles Pressword, 47, Chicago, was killed Sunday morning when struck by a car on Interstate 80 near Gary. Police said Pressword was hitchhiking to his mother’s funeral in Tennessee and was hit by a car driven by Stephen Krapac, 42,

Hammond.

Arthur Roach, 68, Millersburg, was killed and Fred Kesterson, 18, Columbus, Ohio, was injured fatally in an accident at the intersection of U. S. 33 and Indiana 13 in Elkhart County. Kesterson died early today from injuries. Two sisters were killed in a two-car collision on Indiana 43 in White County near Monticello. They were Lovia Nixon, 35, and Blanche Harvey, 27, both of Michigan City. Ellen Smith, 62, Batesville, was killed in a two-car collision at the intersection of U. S. 52 and U. S. 231 in Tippecanoe County near Lafayette.

Cong Toll High In Viet Fighting SAIGON UPI — U.S. Air Cavalrymen swooped down on battered units of the Communist 610 Division along the central coast today, captured 46 more Viet Cong and trapped others in a cave. An official said the troopers were “trying to talk them out instead of having to shoot

them.”

The new fighting on the Hung Lac Peninsula boosted to more than 2,000 the number of Communists killed or captured in the three-pronged Allied assault-one of the most successful of the war about 290 miles northeast of Saigon. It came as U.S. pilots reported shooting down two Communist MIGS and damaging a third in dogfights over North Viet Nam Sunday One of the kills was by a World War II vintage prop driven Skyraider and the other was by a Navy supersonic jet. The 46 captive taken today followed the lead of hundreds of other hard core Viet Cong and North Vietnamese troops who gave up rather than face almost certain death in the combined U.S., Korean and South Vietnamese pincers slowly closing along the central coast. First reports said they included a female nurse and troops with their weapons. Military Backs Piao Oyer Mao HONG KONG UPI—Military authorities in Peking today urged Communist China's soldiers, sailors and airmen to throw their full weight behind Defense Minister Lina Piao in the current struggle for succession to aging Chinese leader

Mao Tse-tung.

The military, a Peking radio broadcast monitored here said, must take the lead in assuring that the entire country keeps in step with the Lin-Mao team during China’s sweeping “cultural revolution’’ purges. Travelers reaching here from China, meanwhile, reported that Lin was coming under bitter

By Gay Pauley UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK UPI — It’* no wonder the New York Jets pack in the pro football fan* at Shea Stadium. There’s the great quarterback Joe Namath in the lineup. And lining up on the field before the game and on the sidelines during the play are 30 pretty precision dancing coeds to help please the crowds. The 30 are students at St John’s University, in Queens, where the girls are known as the Coordinettes and will perform at university athletic events. For the undefeated American Football League club, they’re billed as the Jet Set Rockettes and quite frankly call their high kicks and other formation dances similar to those of the famous you-know-whos of Radio City Music Hall. “We perform only to dance music, like Tijuana brass,” said Patricia (Pat) Aveni, 21, a pretty brunette senior who Is 1966-67 captain of the dancers. “We don’t do marching band type of drill and we create our own steps and formations.” Marching bands with high stepping drum majors and majorettes are today as much a part of the amateur and professional football scene as chrysanthemums and hot dogs. But the Coordinettes, or Rockettes, believe they’re one of the few college groups doing precision dancing. The job with the Jets is one of the most interesting parttime jobs a college girl can have, agreed three of the Coordinettes to whom I talked. The other two were Marjorie (Gerry) Hart, 20, co-captain, and Barbara Accardi, 20, also seniors at St. John’s. All are from the greater New York

area.

There’s the fun of appearing on television nationally, both with the Jets and in national basketball tournaments televised from Madison Square Garden in which St. John’s is a perennial contestant. Three coeds — Carol Butta Betty La Rosa, and Carol Novis all of whom had dancing training—organized the Coordinettes at St. John’s didn’t recognize them as a formal part of

campus life until the student council circulated a petition. Now, the Coordinettes are covered by a university budget, to supply uniforms, and are under the students’ services to the
