    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.”

It was on fire.”
Jake Wagner, 83: “I was work

I heard another, not quite so loud.
I saw a big ball of fire coming

Game.Trainees Best
Of 1,500 Appiicants
The 34 game warden trainees
attending the 12th Game Warden
School at A&M are the best men
from over 1,500 applicants, accord
ing to Capt. 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.

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

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.
