Dr. N.

Garst Employe Whalley, an employee of the Garst Company here, had ed home from work and apparently had trouble getting up an incline in the farm driveway about 30 yards from his house. When he got out oft the truck he apparently slipped and fell under the front wheel which rolled over his chest. The accident happened about 7:10 p.m.

The Huffman ambulance was called from Coon Rapids and Lack of Education, Skills Handicaps ADC Parents By DAN PERKES DES MOINES (AP)-Many of the 9,589 Iowa families receiving aid to dependent children welfare payments are contributing their own small force to the ranks of unskilled labor. A report released Saturday by the State Board of Social Welfare showed that a large number of ADC fathers and mothers have occupations that fall in the unskilled labor classification. This is the segment of the nation's labor market that is finding employment opportunities steadily dwindling. More than 3,000 fathers of fam- Arrest 98 in Crackdown On Gamblers WASHINGTON (AP)-Federal tax agents who crashed in on gamblers across the nation have arrested 98 persons and seized $12,000 in their seventh national crackdown of the past two years. In simultaneous raids Friday, tax men struck in 48 cities.

They swooped down on 83 gaming establishments. In addition to the cash, they confiscated 28 slot machines and 18 automobiles. Professional gamblers are required by federal law to buy $50 annual tax stamps, pay a tax of $250 on each coin-operated gambling device and a 10 per cent excise levy on their profits. The gamblers arrested for tax violations could face fines of $50 to $5,000, and up to five years in prison. In New York City, tax men raided seven gambling spots and arresed seven persons.

Six were arrested in New Orleans, and five in Patterson, N.J., and Donora, Pa. Tax men struck in eight California cities and towns, arresting three persons in Los Angeles, three in Torrance and two in Downey. Single arrests were made in Pasadena, Glendale, Hawthorne, Gardena, and Southgate. Raids at four places in Woon- Air Search Centered on Objects Find No Signs of Life; Fate of 107 Still Uncertain By CARL ZIMMERMAN MANILLA (AP)-Search planes reported sighting five partially submerged objects in the western Pacific today along the scheduled route of a chartered airliner that vanished with 107 persons aboard. No persons were seen in the immediate vicinity.

The U.S. destroyer Brister was dispatched to determine what the objects are. The Joint Rescue Center at Agana, Guam, said the Brister is expected to reach the area at dawn Sunday. A KC97 plane was ordered to circle above the objects until the Brister arrives. Seek Clues Photographic Squadron 61 at Guam sent a Sky Warrior jet to photograph the objects in hopes that the pictures might reveal some identification and possibly furnish a clue to the fate of the four-engine Super Constellation of the Flying Tiger Line.

A U.S. Air Force spokesman declared earlier that "chances are getting slimmer every minute" that any aboard the missing plane would be found alive. The plane was presumed to have crashed or ditched after leaving Guam Thursday night for a hop to Clark Air Force Base near Manila. The propeller-driven plane, with a crew of 11 Americans, left Travis Air Force Base in northern California Tuesday carrying 93 U.S. Army men and three South Vietnamese bound for South Viet Nam.

The Army men reportedly were to join the U.S. forces bolstering the South Viet Nam government's fight against the Communist Viet Cong guerrillas. Refueling Stops The plane made scheduled refueling and service stops at Hawaii, Wake Island and It was last heard from 270 miles west of Guam, when the, pilot radioed a routine message without a hint of trouble. After fruitless flights Friday, officials tripled the search area and pressed nearly 100 planes and nine ships into systematic crisscrossing of more than 220,000 square miles of calm Pacific waters. More than 10 planes from U.S.

Air Force and naval installations in the Philippines and 40 more from U.S. bases on Guam scoured almost every conceivable path the pilot of the missing plane might have taken. Flights were sent up during the night in hopes that flares would be sighted. None was seen. But nobody was ready to give up.

At Clark Field, Gen. Theodore R. Milton, commander of the 13th Air Force, said search and maintenance their crews heads were off and "ready the to only way they'll stop is if they're ordered to." A search plane sighted what was thought to be a life raft, the Air Force said, but it turned out ilies getting ADC payments are unskilled laborers. There are almost 1,500 unskilled mothers. A number of other family breadwinners have never been fully employed or their employment histories unknown.

The report said that about 54 per cent, or 4,747 mothers in ADC homes are under 35 years of age, and about 46 per cent, or 3,973, are between 35 and 65. Little Education About 1,000 mothers in the younger group have no education beyond the eighth grade and some 1,600 in the older group have eight years or less of formal schooling. "Limited education plus limited work experience handicaps the majority of ADC mothers who might see their way clear to seek employment," the report said. "The younger women especial, ly those under 25-do show some interest in furthering their education and training for employ. ment.

"Generally, high schools in Iowa have been willing to help these young women return to school by providing free tuition and arranging classes to be at home with their children as much as possible." The report gave special emphasis to the mothers, because the mothers are at home in 8,720 of the 9,589 ADC homes. In 869 cases, the mothers have died, deserted or are in mental institutions. Impact on Children The abnormal situation at home has a tremendous impact on the ADC children, the report indicated. On Jan. 1, there were 26,140 boys and girls on the active ADC rolls, with about 16,000 of them of school age.

The welfare agency found about 10 per cent of the school age children were about two or more years behind in comparison with other children in their age group. "This is a matter of concern to social workers," the report said. "It is known that many of the ADC children come from homes of limited educational background. "Perhaps the inability of parents to help them and to be a piece of driftwood. socket, R.I., brought four arrests.

S. HOFFMAN WASHINGTON (AP) U.S.

officials reported today good proggress in the development of a system of spy satellites designed to detect Russian missile launchings almost instantly and radio back warning. Soviet Premier Khrushchev neglected, perhaps intentionally, to mention the U.S. Midas satellite system Friday in announcing creation of a new Russian "global rocket" that he said was able to avoid U.S. radar warning stations. At least two experimental Midas satellites have been sent aloft.

One of them was credited with spotting a Titan missile only 90 seconds after Titan took off from Cape Canaveral, last Oct. 25, Secret Program. Other models may have been shot into polar orbits since then, but the Air Force has drawn tight secrecy around the program. Also cloaked for security reasons is a related spy in the sky project called Samos. The Samos satellites are designed to take pictures of military bases in Russian territory or any other area from hundreds of miles in space.

Officials said both programs were moving along without any serious difficulties. The two spy satellite systems may be operational within a couple of years. Military authorities were not jolted by Khrushchev's claim that Russian scientists have created a new intercontinental rocket that they call global. Same Claim in 1957 Observers recalled that when Russia made its first claim to having successfully tested an intercontinental missile, it said the rocket could hit any spot on the globe. That was more than years ago-on Aug.

26, 1957. It was suggested that Khrushchev Friday could have meant a missile able to travel somewhat over 12,000 miles, rather than a rocket built to circle the earth. A rocket with a range of more than 12,000 miles could reach about halfway around the world, which has a circumference. Thus, nearly every point on the globe would be within its reach, depending on the direction in which it was fired. U.S.

missilemen have fired at least four Atlas ICBMs more than 9,000 miles. Friday, the Air Force successfully tested a Titan I rocket calculated to have a potential of perhaps 12,000 miles. The first test shot of the Titan from Cape Canaveral, was described as covering more than Rockets See Page 7 The Weather IOWA FORECAST Generally fair with slowly rising temperatures through Sunday.

Battle Rages On Shore of Sea of Galilee TEL AVIV, Israel -Israel and Syrian forces clashed on the eastern shore of the Sea of in a night battle that raged until early today.

Both sides claimed victory in the gravest frontier fighting in two years, Planes in Action At least two Israel planes joined the battle and one Syrian plane, reported to be a Soviet-made MIG17 jet, also swung into action. Syria charged Israel attacked with tanks and four were knocked out. But an Israeli spokesman said no tanks were in aktion and the actually were trucks disabled by land mines. An Israeli army spokesman claimed at least 30 Syrians, including a company commander, were killed as Israeli forces launched a hit-run invasion of Syria, knocking out gun positions. He placed Israeli troop losses at five dead and six seriously wounded.

The Israeli force also captured a large amount of Syrian arms and ammunition, the spokesman said.

"'The revolution needs to revise all the revolutionary nuclei and all the political apparatus of the revolution to do away with the errors and abuses and to gain good performance," he declared in a televised address monitored here. "We have to stop tolerating poor performance and errors," he "Those who are useless will not continue in their positions." Castro singled out no individuals but he had particularly biting criticism for the revolutionary defense committees. These groups--with representatives in every city block, in all factories and on farms-are responsible for watching their neighbors and coworkers for signs of counterrevolutionary attitudes. His sharp denunciation came during a postmidnight speech, his second attack of the week on his own regime. He ordered rationing Monday and criticized Cuba for not meeting food production goals.

The prime minister said he had talked a few days ago with several women who complained they had been humiliated in public and treated as counterrevolutionaries when they actually supported the regime wholeheartedly. "We have to increase public vigilance against errors and injustices," he shouted. "No one has the right to commit injustices and he who does so is an enemy of the revolution." Some people, he said, "think they are more revolutionary than Castro See Page 7 Snow No Bar to Irish Gaiety at Emmetsburg EMMETSBURG a shortage of shamrocks in Dublin, and more snow than any son of Erin really needs in its sister city of Emmetsburg on this St. Patrick's Day. But the townsfolk in this northwest Iowa community of 3,800 are keeping alive the wearin' o' the green spirit, all the same.

Even though there's more than 20 inches of snow on the ground, the hardy folks are carrying on with the annual St. Patrick's Day celebration here. And they wish all the best, too, to their sister city in the Emerald Isle. Emmetsburg became the sister city to Dublin in February, when Dublin's Lord Mayor Robert W. Briscoe accepted the offer of sisterhood extended by John McCain, chairman of this town's St.

Patrick's Day celebration. But Briscoe had to turn down an invitation to join in the festivities here because of a prior commitment in Chicago, By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER GENEVA (AP) The United States appeared almost today to come under heavy pressure from several nonnuclear nations in the disarmament conference to suspend its plans for a series of nuclear weapons tests in the atmosphere starting next month. Brazil Takes Lead Brazil has taken the lead among the eight-nation middle bloc of the conference in arguing that, even without an international inspection system, atmospheric tests can be stopped now because they are detectable over great distances. At the heart of the developing struggle is President Kennedy's announced plan to go ahead with atmospheric tests in late April unless Russia signs a test-ban treaty providing for international inspection.

Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko told U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk privately last Sunday that the Soviet government would not accept international inspection for a test ban. Soviet Ambassador Semyon K. Tsarapkin announced the position Conference See Page 7 1.

Army Takes Over Control in Guatemala By MORRIS W. ROSENBERG GUATEMALA -The army held this Central American capital under virtual martial law today as opposition mounted to. President Miguel conservative regime. Army troops chased two guerrilla bands in the hills. The army seized control of the city on orders following four days of street fighting and other violence that left 20 persons dead and more than 200 injured.

More than 250 persons reportedly have been arrested. The army declared it was ready to take extreme measures to put down students protesting what they called fraud in 1 last December's elections that returned Ydigoras' conservative party to control of. Congress. Heavily armed troops took over key communication and transportation points and patrolled the streets. An 8 p.m.

to 5 a.m. curfew was clamped on the city. Antigovernment strikes spread. and businesses shut down. Commercial life was nearly stopped.

The army also searched for two small, rebel bands in the mountains in northern and northeastern Guatemala. One group is led by Carlos Paz: Tejada, who was defense minister under former pro-Communist President Jacobo Arbenz, ousted in a 1954 coup. Paz Tejada issued a manifesto early this week urging the people to overthrow Ydigoras. Arbenz was last reported in Havana as a guest of Ydigoras' arch foe, Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro. Castro's.

Havana radio hailed the Guatemalan insurgents, declaring, "We salute our beloved brothers of Guatemala who are covering themselves with glory fighting for their democratic rights and national liberation." Informants said the other guerrilla band was composed largely of former army officers who call their group the 13th of November movement. Ydigoras smashed an' officers' uprising on Nov. 13, 1960. McCain sent a. wire to Briscoe in Chicago yesterday, which read: "St.

Patrick himself is a-smilin' down on, us today, for Emmetsburg and Dublin are sisters. "May it be a great day for you and your fair Dublin, but I have a tear in my eye because you can't be with us. Best of all to you and yours." McCain added the words, "Erin go Bragh," which translates as "Ireland forever." Emmetsburg is named for Robert Emmet, an Irish patriot, whose statute adorns the town square. That's the focal point of today's celebration. Shamrock flags adorn the streets, and in spite of the snow, traffic islands are decked out in green.

Five Island Lake north of town has become "Five Ireland Lake" in honor of the day. The festivities include selection of a "Miss Shamrock," a parade in the afternoon and an Irish dance.
