DEPARTMENT OF HIST. ARCHIVES DES MOINES. IA. ESTHERVILLE DAILY NEWS BY FAR THE LARGEST CITY, RURAL, TOTAL CIRCULATION IN EMMET COUNTY 95th Year; No. 241 Estherville, Emmet County, Iowa, Friday, July 19, 1963 Week 35c; Copy Khrushchev Sees Chances Good for Limited Test Ban MOSCOW (AP) Premier Khrushchev expressed optimism today about the chances for a Big Three agreement in current negotiations on a limited nuclear test ban and said he would like to see outlawing of all such tests, including those underground.

The Soviet leader reiterated in a Kremlin speech that he wanted an West nonaggression pact. He did not insist that it be tied to the treaty being negotiated here to forbid nuclear test blasts in the air, outer space and under water. This would seem to indicate thatKhrushchev might he receptive to a countersuggestion made by President Kennedy through his special envoy, W. Averell Harriman; that the issue be handled through a nonagression declarations. At the same time, again announced he was ready to permit Western inspection of vital Soviet Union as safeguard against concentrations for a surprise attack.

This was offered as a device for helping to ease world tensions and was not directly connected wih the test ban treaty. Speaking of the U.S., British and Russian test ban talks in Moscow, Khrushchev said: "We are under the impression that there is hope now of achieving agreement on the banning of nuclear tests in the atmosphere, cosmic space and under water if, of course, there are no special changes in the: positions of the American and British representatives. Eight Injured In Four-car Smashup EMMETSBURG Eight persons were injured Thursday morning and a ninth person, Darrell Schnell, Graettinger, escaped injury in a chain reaction collision involving five vehicles. Four cars were stopped for a flagman on U.S. 18 at the curve west of here, when a cream truck driven by Schnell came around the curve and ran into the back end of the fourth car, which started a chain reaction, shoving the other three together.

truck caught (ire in the accident, but the fire was put out in short order. Driver of the back car which was struck by Schnell, Arthur Perez and his wife, three children and a sister, all from Los Angeles, were treated for cuts and bruises at Palo Alto County Memorial Hospital. Gordon Strain and a passenger, Steve Stromberg, both of Fort Dodge, were in the second car. They escaped injury, although the car was extensively damaged. The driver of the third car, Melvin A.

Rasmusson, Harlan, was hospitalized with arm, side and back Mrs. Jack Frohling, Mallard, was driver of the first car. She received neck and head injuries and her three small children received bruises. They were treated and released. The accident was investigated by Highway Patrol and the Palo Alto County sheriff's office.

"Apparently, we will not reach agreement on the ban of underground nuclear tests at the present time. Nevertheless, the Soviet government considers that if an agreement is achieved on a ban of nuclear tests in the atmosphere, cosmic space and under water, there will be an important and useful step forward." Bidding for easing tensions at a time when the Soviet Union remains heavily involved in a Communist family dispute with Red China, Khrushchev spoke at a friendship rally for visiting Hungarian Communist leader Janos Kadar. In quick succession he: Revived a Russian offer of 1958 to permit foreign inspectors to take up station at Soviet airfields, railroads stations, highways and ports to prevent secret concentrations of troops for surprise attacks. Proposed an exchange of inspection teams between Westtroops in West Germany and Soviet troops in East Germany, adding that the Russians were ready to negotiate a reciprocal reduction in the number of those troops on both sides. Insisted again on the signing of a peace treaty with Germany that would settle the status of West Berlin, but set no deadline.

Declared a new world war is not necessary to build communism or speed up revolution. Challenging Peking's hard line views, he said a nuclear war could destroy mankind and even those, who survive might "envy the dead." Try Again To Hold Breath For Long Time DES MOINES (AP) A Des Moines man who had been in the habit of demonstrating how long he could hold his breath under water was saved from drowning by an 18-year-old lifeguard Thursday afternoon. Charles Holt, 30, was rescued from the bottom of a public ming pool here by Jerry Smith, serving his third season as lifeguard at the pool. After he was revived Holt said he would make no more efforts to show that he can stay under from to 5 minutes. Smith said he saw Holt on the bottom in 10 feet of water, pulled him out and worked on him until he started gasping for breath.

Holt was taken to a hospital where it later was discovered he had a mild case of pneumonia. Seek Cut in Feed Grain Acreage By OVID A. MARTIN WASHINGTON (AP)--The government will offer growers of corn, barley and sorghum grain: upwards of $1.2 billion in pay-: ments next year to make way for a larger feed market for wheat. For the first time in years, wheat, which is principally a food grain, will be grown free of government controls. At a referendum last May, producers rejected a new and tigher plan offered by the administration.

Because of this, officials expect a sharp increase in wheat production next year which could add to surpluses and depress grower prices and incomes. But the Agriculture Department hopes to minimize these possible impacts on wheat farmers by encouraging feed grain growers to reduce plantings sharply below levels of recent year. The drop, in feed grain production would be met by the extra wheat, ularly lower grades. Provisions year's version of the feed grain reduction program, in effect since 1961, were announced Thursday by the riculture Department. Farmers who voluntarily reduce feed grain acreages at least 20 per, cent diversion will get payments price on supports the idled land.

Farmers, will be permitted to idle as much as 50 per cent of their feed grain land and get paid for it. This year, the maximum eligible for payments was 40 per cent. To encourage farmers to divert the maximum acreage, payments per acre will be highest for those who idle between 40 and 50 per cent of their feed grain acres, and also higher than offered this year for maximum diversions. Price-" support rates for. the three feed grains will be held.

at this year's levels a bushel for corn, 96 cents a bushel for barley, and $2 a hundredweight for sorghum grain. As is the case this year, the 1964 price supports will be in the form of loans and payments. Next year, price support loans will be $1.10 for corn, compared with $1.07 this year; 84 cents for barley compared with 82 cents, and $1.77 for sorghums compared with $1.71. Payments, which come on top of loans, will be 15 cents a bushel for corn compared with 18 cents this year, 12 cents compared with 14 cents for barley, and 23 cents compared with 29 cents for sorghums.

Winds carrying heavy rain and hail stones ranging up to the size of a quarter, ripped through the northern part of Emmet County yesterday afternoon, leaving in its wake severely damaged crops. Mrs.

Arnold Tangeman reported this morning that crops on their farm, located about two miles west of Dolliver, "were completely wiped out" as a result of heavy hail. She said stones about the size of a quarter flattened crops and drifted on the ground. The storm struck that area shortly after 4 p.m. and she reported hail stones were still piled on the ground at 8 o'clock. The Verne Von Hagen farm located across the road and east of the Tangeman farm also reported crop damage.

West of the Tangeman farm, Ray Gram reported some crop damage, although it appeared that storm struck the hardest at Tangeman's, where board fences and trees were toppled. Other crop damage in the area, but not considered as severe, was reported in the vicinity of the Bob Simacek farm near Huntington, eastward past the Don Kirchner farm, located about five miles west of Dolliver on the new eastwest blacktop road. Crop damage also was reported on the farms of Harold Lenox, Norman Christensen, Ivan Linge and Chris Jesperson. They are all south of the farms previously mentioned. An estimated inches of rain was brought by the storm.

Total accumulated rainfall in Estherville from 7 a.m. yesterday until noon today was reported at inches. As the storm moved across the Estherville area, clouds blackened the sky and accompanying rains caused storm gutters to swell and several streets to flood temporarily. Several street lights in downtown Estherville were out for awhile, but not because of damage from the storm. City line foreman Morton Mason explained that the street lights are controlled by a photo-electric cell, which automatically shuts off and turns on the lights, depending on whether it is light or dark out.

He said flashes of lightning will turn the lights off as if it were daylight, and that the lights will not go on again until the cells adjust to the darkness. More than five inches of rain fell in the Davenport area between 10 p.m. and sunrise. Winds were estimated at about 70 miles an hour after the velocity gauge at the Quad-Cities Airport blew apart when gusts hit 48 miles an hour. At Oelwein 5.7 inches of rain were reported, the most in that city since June 14, 1925.

The winds toppied two light towers at the Davenport Municipal Stadium, with damage estimated at nearly $30,000.

Turtle Likes Taste Of Residential Living There is at least one mud turtle, after a taste of city life in Esther- ville, who is perfectly, willing to permanently natural habitat for the city.

This reptile was first spotted by Kim Yule, 7, and her father, Merle, about eight or nine weeks ago. They saw it on Highway 17 near Trinity Lutheran Church and Kim, fearing for its life, induced her daddy to rescue it and bring it home for a family pet. After: couple days at the Yule household Kim's daddy convinced her that the turtle would be happier in the mud banks of the Des Moines River. Before they took him back, however, Kim wrote her name on the reptile's shell with yellow crayon. Tuesday evening Kim got a call from Karen Knutsen inquiring if she had lost a pet turtle.

But unless you have proper equipment, scientists say, the best and safest way to watch will be on television. Powerful infrared rays could cause permanent eye damage to those who look at the sun directly. The spectacular scientific show will be brief, from the start of the eclipse over Japan at dawn to 4:44 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the Maine coast, about three hours later. And only in a 60-mile wide strip across Alaska, Canada and Maine will the eclipse be total.

Most Americans will only be able to see a partial eclipse. San Franciscans will see 34 per cent, New Yorkers 88. The eclipse is caused by the moon passing between the sun and the earth, thus blocking the brilliant solar rays. cier, executive officer; Second Lt.

Preliminary to his talk with Johnson, Dolling writes that "unless the' right-of-way is unusually wide, trees such as hackberries, oaks, maples, etc. are too large. In most cases, flowering trees or other small trees such as Washington hawthorn, flowering crabs, plums and amur maples have worked very satisfactorily." and their daughters, Jeanie and Dalene stop for a short rest before down the bean field.

Karen said she would bring the turtle to Kim and Kim was waiting on the curb to welcome it home when Karen arrived. It apparently had taken the turtle eight or nine weeks to wend its way back to the residential section from the Des Moines River. Kim thought this time she would keep the reptile but her dad still believes the turtle really prefers a mud bank to Kin's wading pool; he's just temporarily dissatisfied with life on the river. So Kim and her dad once more took him back to the river. However, Kim won't be surprised if about Sept.
