(NEA Telephoto) SIX BELOW ZERO TODAY MT. VERNON TO TAP CENTRALIA ATROCKFORD WELLS FOR GAS Zero at Chicago; Not Quite So Cold Weekend Forecast. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Zero cold maintained a firm grip on most of Illinois today and the mercury stumbled below 10 degrees even in southern sections. Slight warming was in prospect tonight and Saturday, although the Weather Bureau cautiously described the change as "not quite so cold." Rockford residents foil the sharpest chill; it was 6 below- zero.

Bradford, a traditional icy spot, reported 4 below. Zero readings were recorded at Moline. Peoria, Rantoul and Chicago. It was 3 above at Springfield and Quincy, and 6 at Vandalia. Little extensive warming was predicted.

The five-day forecast called for temperatures averaging near 9 degrees below normal. The Wabash River remained out of its course in the southeast but receded gradually as it headed for the Ohio River junction. Water in some lowlands stretched as much as seven miles from the river bank, inundating miles of farm land. Several hundred persons wore out of their homes in the Lawrenceville area, some for the fourth day. Flooding was expected to continue beyond a.

broken' dike northeast of Lawrehceville until the river drops below the 16-foot level, expected about March 1. The Wabash stood at 22.7 feet, 6.7 feet above flood stage, at Vincennes, across the river from Lawrenceville. Temperatures Thursday failed to rise above 15 in most of the northern half of the state, but readings ranging from the low 20s in the north to the low in the south were forecast for Saturday. Lows of zero to 3 above were in prospect for the north tonight, ranging up to 13 to IS in the far south.

Skipper Can't Forget Horror Of Airline Crash ROCKLAND, Mass.

(APi-The tugboat skipper who cut loose two barges and helped rescue eight persons when an American Airlines plane plunged into the East River at Now York two weeks ago can't forget the horror. "I should have saved more, I should have saved more," Capt. Samuel R. Nickerson moans in his sickbed in his home here. The 57-year-old seafarer, worn iitit by the rescue efforts and the 110 sleepless hours that followed while investigators fired questions, was discharged a few days ago from Goddard Hospital in Stoughton.

He needs rest and a strict diet to control a severe case of bleeding ulcers. Today he is under the shadow of two convictions. Beck was sentenced to not more than 15 years in prison after a 1957 conviction for grand larceny in the embezzlement of $1,900 from the sale of a union-owned Cadillac. The State Supreme Court is scheduled to hear his appeal next March. Invoked 5th Amendment Beck's big trouble began when he appeared before the Senate Labor-Management Committee in 1957 and invoked the Fifth Amend ment more than 150 times.

He said then he could probably clear everything up with a few minutes in the court of law. Arrives For Latin Talks WASHINGTON (AP) Higher food five months of the government's measure of living costs up one- tenth of one cent in January. At the same time, average take- home earnings of factory workers reached a record for any January. The new monthly high was the first since 1957 when the business recession set in. The Labor Department, reporting today the rise in its living cost index, noted it was still slightly below the November, 1958, rec ord high.

The index stood at 123.8 per cent of the 1947-49 average. This was one-tenth of one per cent be low the all-time peak. Ewan Clague, commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, said the nine months since April 1958, have been the longest period of comparitive price stability since the index was established on its present basis in 1940. It has fluctuated within a range of four-tenths of a point on the index scale. Although spendable earnings and the buying power of factory workers dropped from December, they were at record levels for a January.

It was the first time since the onset of the recession in 1957 that a monthly earnings record has been reached. The price stability of recent months means there will be no increase in wages for lv; million automobile, aircraft and farm implement workers whose pay is adjusted to movements of the index. They have had no cost-of-living in-! crease since last summer. About 82,000 workers, mostly in the aircraft industry, whose contracts have a formula on a different base, will gain a penny-an- hour pay increase. These workers had taken a one-cent drop in October.

Clague said the outlook for the next few months is for continued comparitive stability in living costs. There was no sign, however, that the administration's fear of a resumption of inflation later in the year has abated. In January lower prices for clo- Vechie Watson Crushed At Orient E. L.

Stratton told a group of educators today that from the over-all state level, "our schools are meeting the challenge." "I do not mean to say that there is no room improvement in any area," he said. "I must look at these matters from the state, the overall level, and what I see is good." In an address to a teachers' institute, Stratton also declared: "Lincoln did his sums on a shovel, by firelight, and he became a great educated man.

I don't recommend that our children use pioneer facilities for their schooling, but I do wonder whether we have too many frills, and perhaps not enough history." Left In Woman's Will U.S.A. To Sell Five Acre Property At Ina The United States of America Is going to sell a home at nearby Ina soon under unusual circumstances. And therein lies an interesting tale: Carrie Settle, a 75-year-old resident of Ina, died on August 12. 1957. When he will was admitted to probate a month later it was discovered that she had left her five-acre home in Ina to a nephew for his lifetime "and upon his death to the United States of America." The will itself did' not explain her bequest but relatives said it was apparently because of "her great love for her country." Her nephew, who holds a lifetime estate in the property, is a resident of northern Illinois and it a relatively young man with many more years of life expectancy, lriends said today.

When he dies the property will revert to the United States. Until that time he is the the owner. The government, apparently having no use for the property beyond its value, is not going to wait un.til that lime to sell i1. The Services Ad-' ministration has announced that it is taking sealed bids on the properly subject to "the existing life estate." That apparently means that the buyer would' become the owner after the death of Mrs. Settle's nephew.

Sealed bids are being accepted up to 2:00 p. m. today at the General Services Administration regional office in Chicago. Covington On CHICAGO (AP) University of Illinois trustees Thursday approved nominations of 19 Illinois residents as new members of the general committee of the University of Illinois Citizens Committee.
