68 Killed in Indiana Crash TELL CITY, Ind. —Mighty explosions in the air and on the ground Thursday shattered a Northwest Airlines turboprop plane and killed all 63 persons aboard. The FBI dispatched its disaster investigating team from Washing ton to see whether federal law had been violated in the crash through sabotage or otherwise. The four-engine Lockheed Elec- tra, Northwest’s flight 170, left Minneapolis Thursday for Miami. A crew of six and 18 passengers boarded at Minneapolis. Thirty- nine more passengers got aboard, at Chicago’s Midway Airport. The plane went down in a half acre farm field—one of the few level places in rugged hills along the Ohio River, which' separates Indiana and Kentucky. Little was left of the Electra, its passengers and crew. There was a smoking hole—25 feet deep and 40 feet across—in the snow-covered field. Five miles away lay a burned wing and two engines. Shreds of clothing and baggage clung to bare tree limbs. “We haven’t really found any thing that you could count a body,” said State Trooper Louis Gayer. These are the ways Hoosiers re member—and try to explain—the awful sight and sound of a crash ing airliner: Cyril Powers: “I was just in side my barn and I heard two explosions. They weren’t loud. It was more like two shots. I went outside and looked up. ft was cloudy and the first thing I could see was a wing come through the clouds. Then the rest of the plane came through and it still had the left wing on it. The plane was falling at less than a 45-degree angle, almost straight down. I heard an explosion after it hit the ground and saw clothing and stuff blow up in the air. The concus sion nearly knocked me to the ground.” Albert Harpe: “I saw an awful big plane coming down end over end. Two parts were coming down. It’s so messed up, I can just say it looks terrible.” Theodore Wilson: “I heard an explosion. I saw this plane fall ing. It hit the ground and blew up again. I was in World War II and I’ve heard plenty of sounds like the explosion from the air before. It sounded like a 500- pounder or a 16-inch shell explod ing up in the sky. Parts of the fuselage, mail, bodies and debris of all kinds were scattered all over.” BATTALION CLASSIFIED WANT AD RATES >16 day 3<} per word 3^ per word each additional day Minimum charge—40d DEADLINES 8 p.m. day btforo publication Classified Display SOd per column Inch each insertion PHONE VI 6-6115 FOR RENT OFFICE BUILDING-Air Conditioned Abundant Whse. and outside storage space. l ! /2 block from North Gate of Campus at 311 Church St. Will rent or lease all or part.

John R. Woods, direc tor of the Texas Game Warden School. Assisted by Frank Etheredge, chief of the Houston office and assistant instructor of the school, Wood said the game warden re cruits have all had at least three months field training. The game warden school is held in co-operation with the Depart ment of Wildlife Management. Wood said, “We hold the school here at A&M because of the ex cellent facilities available from the Car Inspection Deadline Nears “There are less than 30 working days left until the April 14 dead line for the new Motor Vehicle In- specion Sticker,” Capt. E. C. Smith said today. Capt. Smith, service commander for the Motor Vehicle Inspection Service of the Texas Department of Public Safety, pointed out only 36 per cent of the 522,877 regis tered motor vehicles in this region had been inspected as of March 1, 1960. This indicates many motor ists continue to postpone having their vehicles inspected. By failing to do it now, drivers face the possibility of waiting in line at one of the State approved inspection stations as the deadline approaches. If bad weathers con tinues this adds to the burden be cause inspection stations do not make inspections while the streets are wet. Texas registered vehicles oper ated on public streets and high ways after April 15 must display the 1960 Motor Vehicle Inspection Sticker. Failure to do so often leads to a traffic arrest for the driver without a current inspec tion sticker displayed on his ve hicle. Department of Wildlife Manage ment. Their four-year degree plan pro vides the highly trained personnel and specimens we require to give our men the best possible train ing.” Wood said the college provides courses in the natural history of vertebrates, game management, fisheries management, an instruc tor course in first aid and public speaking. For these courses the game warden recruits receive 12 hours of college credit. The re maining part of their semester in struction is presented by game warden personnel and concerns public relations, law, firearms and records and reports. Texas is divided into ten game warden regions, stated Wood. Each region has a supervisor and sev eral wardens. Organized under the Texas Fish and Game Commission, the game wardens are the law en forcement agency of the commis sion and head of the wardens is Capt. E. M. Sprott. Two hundred wardens cover the high plains, mountain ranges, coastal areas and the Mexican border of Texas, and often face unique, sometimes dangerous prob lems in enforcing the game and fish laws. They also are concerned with game management, supply lecturers to college workshops, maintain sand, shale and gravel I laws ’and are trained for Civil De fense and night rescue work. Applicants for a game warden’s position must have graduated from high school, be between 21 and 40 years old and of normal build. Wood said preference is given to veterans and men with college credit. Recruits go into the field for, three months’ training and then are required to attend the school at A&M. Of the 200 Texas game wardens, 175 have attended the warden school which first opened in 1946.

Protest Segregation Shown here is a portion of about 20 Negro and white stu dents at the University of Texas as they demonstrated in protest against segregation policies of the school. Roby Hilliard, Negro student from Houston, said “We have no organization and no connection with any organization.” The group carried placards and passed out leaflets, near two central campus entrances. (AP Wirephoto) Cat’s Skull Helping Tech Research LUBBOCK (2P)—A cat with an electrical connector implanted in his skull is contributing to psy chology research at Texas Tech. Dr. James M. Whitehouse, as sistant of psychology at the col lege, emphasized the connector causes “no pain, no deviation from most normal cat activities.” The plain old alley cat called “hohey” got wired for electricity about 18 months ago in Salt Lake City, Utah, where Whitehouse was conducting neurological research at a Veterans Administration hos pital. The purpose of the experiment is to learn more about how the brain works in the learning proc ess through measurement of its electrical activity. trical connecter,” Whitehouse ex-« plained. From it 14 tiny wires extend into portions of the cat’s brain.' “One of the surprising things about it is that behavior disturb ances from making the implant were so small we couldn’t measure , them,”- the doctor said. The cat is a healthy 15-pounder who rubs affectionately against the legs of visitors and doesn’t mind having its pedestal touched. “Other than being a little dopey from the anesthetic for two or three days after the operation, he showed no ill effects,” Whitehouse said. The implant operation took about 13 hours. It was done by Whitehouse and an assistant. The device is known as a “ped- The shaved off fur has returned, es t a h” and the pedestal looks almost as if “It’s actually a standard elec- | it had grown from the skull.
