Price Welsh Cuts Spending as Funds Wane Revenues Off, Fear State to Go Broke In Institutional Building BT ffiWIN J. MILLER INDIANAPOLIS, June A drastic economy program, including a moratorium on new construction at state institutions, was ordered today by Governor Matthew E. Welsh to meet a threat of state bankruptcy. The Governor said Indiana would be "broke" by next January, $9,400,000 short of having enough to meet its current bills, if the current rate of spending continues. He told a news conference the critical situation arose because gross income tax collections are running much below estimates.

IN ADDITION to ordering a halt in new highways, buildings already under contract and emergency Welsh delayed action on a program of pay raises for state employes. He said that unless the financial picture brightens considerably the state may have to cut its October distribution of state school aid funds, which go mostly for a share of teacher salaries. The October distribution is slated to be about $25,000,000. The halt ordered on new construction at state institutions, including hospitals and universities See ECONOMY On Page 2, Column 6 Toll Road Board Drops $20,000 Job Heeds Welsh Order To Seek Economies HAMMOND, June Indiana Toll Road Commission lopped off the $20,000 a year job of its secretary-treasurer Friday in the first of a series of economy moves demanded by Governor Matthew E. Welsh.

Beginning July 14 at the annual reorganization meeting, the duties of Lawrence F. Crosbie will be performed by one of the five commission members, presumably at no increase in the $5,000 annual salary. CROSBIE was fired after five years on the commission staff in an unanimous voice vote which followed the Governor's announcement that he had the backing of the three Democrats on the group. But the commission went along only part way with another Welsh demand that it erect no new buildings in shifting headquarters from Indianapolis to South Bend. The Governor told his State House news conference the turnpike headquarters staff will take over existing space in buildings already leased or owned by the commission in the South Bend area.

It refused to yield its ties with the isolated city.

Felix von Eckardt, the Bonn government spokesman, called the new protests from Moscow "artificial and unjustifiable." He made clear at a news conference they would be rejected. THERE WAS SIMILAR reaction in London and Washington to the Soviet pressure, which developed less than a week after the Vienna summit meeting of Soviet Premier Khrushchev and President Kennedy. British Foreign Office spokesman said Britain's attitude is in no way altered by the Soviet complaints against meetings of West German parliamentarians in West Berlin.

The zone change, effective at 2 A.M. Sunday, July 23, settled time controversy of many years standing in Indiana. Except for a bulge of' peripheral counties around Indianapolis, the area added to the eastern zone is roughly the east- 1 ern third of Indiana. THE ACTION by the Interstate Commerce Commission expanded the recommendation of Thomas E.

Pyne, I. C. C. examiner, who conducted hearings in Indiana and Kentucky more than a year ago. Pyne had recommended that only.

Clark and Floyd counties, representing part of Louisville's suburban area, be added to the eastern zone. However, the commission did reject the eastern time pleas of communities in 17 other Indiana counties and Nashville, which wanted the shift along with Louisville and Indianapolis. THE NEW ZONE boundary will be far enough west in Indiana to include Elkhart, Warstw, Wabash, Marion, Elwood, Noblesville, Lebanon, Danville, Mar- tjnsville, Shelbyville, Franklin, Greensburg, North Vernon, Scottsburg, New Albany and Corydon.

The crossroads community of Browns Valley near Shades State Park was virtually swamped by a severe storm to hit Montgomery County within two days. THE WEATHER Bureau forecast minor flooding in the middle Wabash River above Terre Haute over the weekend but added that thundershowers can be expected off and on through the first half of next week. Water five feet deep over Ind. 47 and a Pennsylvania Railroad line at Browns Valley and Waveland in a deluge which overflowed an unofficial rain gauge after 4V4 inches of rain fell within three hours. Sheriff's deputies called for a boat to rescue stranded families.

AT LEAST a dozen homes in Browns Valley and an equal number in Waveland were heavily damaged by the flash flood, which sent water surging over fencetops in some locations. Town Marshal Charles Stewart of Waveland estimated the little community was drenched with eight inches of rain in about two hours. Dozens of cars were stranded on highways in the area. The water began receding into Little Raccoon Creek shortly after the cloudburst stopped. FUNNEL CLOUDS were spotted aloft southwest of Crawfordsville and Marion but lifted into the turbulent overcast.

After the repeated thunderstorms in west-central Indiana, the Weather Bureau predicted the middle Wabash River would rise two or three feet above flood stage was forecast for Sunday at Terre Haute.

Castro said he would have preferred a member of the committee come to Havana "but that is not indispensable.
