Col. Jesus Navarro, Apurimaca provincial police commander, said the story was invented to frighten villagers into moving to another part of town. March PARIS (AP) The government held back its big stick in the French coal strike today but told 200,000 striking miners they must go back to work before their demands can be discussed. The miners showed no signs of ending their walkout.

i The work before talks statement came from Premier Georges Pompidou. He told two political delegations that the government's decision to draft the miners was not a challenge to their right to strike. He said the order is designed to avoid a shutdown of French industry through a depletion of the nation's coal supply. Meeting with delegations from the Gaullist Union for the New Republic and the Democratic Union of Workers, Pompidou said he will make the government position clear in a nationwide radio-television address tomorrow or Fri day. Enters Sixth Day Now in its sixth day, the strike is labor's first major stand against President Charles.

De Gaulle's 4'4-year-old regime. The workers seek higher wages and a 40-hour week. By defying the draft order, the workers made themselves liable to dismissal, fines or imprisonment. But there was no report of any government action up to now against the men. Lenten Message "Far be it from me to glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ" Galatians 6:14 To meditate on the Cross of Christ does not mean to think of the wooden Cross, its construction and what might have happened to it.

The Cross suggests a "kind" of life, a way of life obedience, love, truth, loyalty, unselfish service. These values suggest eternal values associated with and to be interpreted in the light of the will of God. The tragedy of the ages is that men have abandoned themselves to and gloried in wrong causes. (Rev. B.

H. Romanowski, St. Paul United Church of Christ) Storm ported in good winter driving condition. All other roads in the state were snow packed and slippery and no main roads were reported closed. Sideroads and passing lanes on the interstate highway systems were partially blocked in places, however.

For the most part, it was the heaviest snowfall of the season in the state, and was the first time this year a snow emergency was declared in Milwaukee. The snow started falling Tuesday afternoon as sleet and freezing rain in many areas, and is blamed to some extent for the small turnout in the primary election to decide candidates for Wisconsin Supreme Court justice. At least three sub sectional games leading up to the Wisconsin Interscholastic ath letic Association tournament at Madison next week were post poned. Accident Fatal To Highway Worker By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Wisconsin's highway toll for 1963 has reached 98 with the death of an Ozaukee County man The total a year ago today was 102. Aira Laubenstein, 30, of Route 1, Fredonia, an employe of the Ozaukee County Highway Department, died Tuesday of injuries received on Monday in an acci dent near Waubeka.

Police said he was repairing a sand spreader on his truck when he was hit by a car and pinned against the spreader. A record snowfall for this winter hit Oshkosh Tuesday, creating conditions ideal for accidents and delaying those heading for work or school. Strong, shifting winds dur ing the night created poor visibility for drivers and the snow piled up to eight inches on the level at the Wisconsin Public Service Corp. measuring station. City and Winnebago County crews worked throughout the night and continued today to open traffic lanes for regular flow of 5 vehicles.

With moderating temperatures, it seemed best to remove the accumulation from streets and sidewalks as soon as possible before it became more of task. Most in Three Years This proved to be the heaviest single snowfall in more than three years. Once before this winter, the snow created an emergency problem when 7 inches were recorded on Jan. 12, most of which remained because of 16 succes sive days of sub-zero weather that followed. Streets were becoming impassable by 9 o'clock last night, and city crews were alerted.

By 10 p.m., a fleet of 15 truck plows and a crew of 33 men tackled the job of keeDing the streets open. By midnight, a snow emergency had been declared and streets were cleared of vehicles, allowing the four graders to begin work in the downtown section. In the county, crews were able to keep the main highways open, but it was impossible to clear all roads. In many instances, only one lane of traffic was cleared. Highway commissioner Leon Morrissey said that 10 trucks were at work by 8 o'clock last night, and that 42 units were on county roadways at midnight.

Up to 6 this morning state roads were in fair shape, but lesser roads were bad, in many cases blowing closed again after county crews had plowed them. The units were to continue the job until all the roads are cleared. With higher temperatures today, drifting ceased to be a problem, and it was expected that the highways would all be passable some time today or tonight. Many telephone calls to the Winnebago County sheriff's office this morning were answered with the advice to stay off the roads if possible. Many autos out in the storm during the night became stuck in ditches and snowbanks along the highways.

City plowing crews were expected to finish their work by noon today. Once out of their driveways, workers driving to Continued on Page 10, Col. 1 Antarctica Post Is Floating Away CHRISTCHURCH. New Zealand (AP) A piece of Antarctica has broken off and floated away, taking part of an unmanned ice station with it, the U.S. Navy said today.

The naval icebreaker Edisto discovered the chunk of ice 300 miles northwest of where it should have been attached to the Ross ice shelf. The break had bisected the station, exposing the interiors of two buildings. Canned supplies still stood on their shelves. The station is believed to be Lit tle America 3, built in 1940-41 and out of use for many years. But a spokesman said it could be Little America 4, which was built in 1947 and is known to have broken away in 1952.

Larsen, Superior, a county supervisor. Beilfuss and Larsen will battle for election in the April 2 statewide general election. Even Detore the snow came yesterday, few voters made their way to the polls anywhere in Winnebago County. As an example, Oshkosh's 20,942 registered voters managed a total voter participation of only 1,035.

Less than 300 had voted by 11 a.m. Poll workers reported instances of no votes cast by a few of those. Oshkosh voting machine tallies showed the 1,035 voters, but total votes cast numbered only 1,027 in the one-contest election. An aldermanic primary at Nee-nah illustrated the effect of a strong turnout on the county totals. Probably as a result of the local primary there, Neenah votes accounted for more than half the unofficial county total for Larsen, Evans, and Donnelly for nearly half that cast for Alexopulos.

Deep snow covered the county by the time polls closed, but re turns countywide were complete at the office of Miss Nell Hoff. mann, county clerk, by 9:10 p.m City Clerk Roger Kliss had 15 of the 16 Oshkosh precincts by 8:30, just 22 minutes after the first report. Last to show up was the Fifth Ward count where poll officials said they had been delayed in getting a cab. Unofficial returns from the county's 53 precincts gave Beilfuss 1,761, Evans 731, Larsen 453, Davis A. Donnelly, Eau Claire, 430, and Christ Alexopoulos, Milwaukee, 182.

Oshkosh voters by unofficial count voted pluralities in every precinct for Beilfuss, giving him 632 votes to 148 for Evans, 100 for Larsen, 98 for Donnelly and 49 for Alexopoulos. Of 10 pricints, eight gave pluralities to Beilfuss with the Second and Seventh Wards vot ing most heavily for Evans, Returns announced Tuesday evening and still to be confirmed by the county board were 607 for Beilfuss, 426 for Evans, 215 for Don- Continued on Page 10, Col. 4 Racine Jail Escapee Mails Keys to Sheriff RACINE, Wis.

The keys were mailed from Lit tie Rock, by Melvin Barnes, 34. who had been held on a burg lary charge. a MILWAUKEE (UPI) Circuit Judge Bruce Beilfuss, a highly respected veteran jurist, was es tablished today as the favorite to be Wisconsin's newest State Supreme Court justice on the basis of Tuesday's snow-plagued primary in which he ran roughshod over four opponents. However, Harry E.

Larsen of Superior, a past president of the Douglas County Bar Association, who will oppose Beilfuss in the April 2 general election for asso ciate justice, promised to wage a fighting campaign in an effort to overcome the apparent odds against him for the 10-year post. Beilfuss, 48, who has been on the 17th circuit bench since 1948 and had almost every major endorsement made for the primary, gathered more votes than the other candidates combined. "I didn't expect these results," said Beilfuss, who was very pleased by the landslide triumph in his first state-wide try for office. Larsen's First Try Too It was also Larsen's first statewide try for public office. With 3,477 of the state's 3,528 precincts reported, Beilfuss had 126,765 votes.

Larsen had 38,374 votes and the man nearest him was William H. Evans, Milwaukee, the unsuccessful Democratic nominee for attorney general last fall, who had 31,071 votes. State Sen. Davis Donnelly, D-Eau Claire, ran fourth with votee. Christ Alexopoulos, a Milwaukee attorney, ran last, as he has done in the last two pre vious primaries for Sate Supreme Court justice, with 16,095 votes.

Beilfuss of Neillsville for Supreme Court justice with pluralities in 47 precincts. County voters gave the second nomination to William H. Evans, Conservatives Under Attack For Broadcast LONDON (AP) The opposition Labor party and some British newspapers lashed the Conservative government and the security services today for letting former French Premier Georges Bidault slip in and out of England. Bidault, hunted by France as chief of the anti-De Gaulle terrorist organization, appeared Monday on a taped television program on the British Bradcasting Corporation. The government said Tuesday he apparently had left Britain.

De Gaulle's officials, who tightly control the French government radio and television service, implied that Prime Minister Harold Macmillan's government should have kept the interview from being aired. British wrath spared the virtual ly independent BBC and concentrated on the security services, al ready under heavy fire because three Soviet spies have turned up in government service in the past 19 months. The Labor shadow cabinet called a special meeting tonight to draft a demand for an unequivocal statement by the government on its part in the affair. The Laborities want to know exactly how Bidault slipped into Britain undor the noses of security men, how he got away again, why detectives didn't track him down, and why officials apparently paid no attention to persistent press reports last January that Bidault was in London. The Labor move did not imply any criticism of the right of the BBC to televise the interview.

Most sections of the press solidly defended the BBC's right to present news as it thought fit, but the newspapers were asking the same questions the Labor shadow cabinet was asking. The Daily Mirror said Bidault has three forged passports under different names and that this in formation has been passed to all ports and airports in Britain and France. Bidault has been reported in a number of cities in West Europe in the past year and ap parently moves about the Con tinent with relative freedom. abandon his bid for ofsetting changes in the revenue laws. Asked whether that was a fair interpretation, Kennedy replied that he thought the best program was the one he had sent to Congress.

He said he felt Congress would enact this type of bill one including the proposed revisions. Kennedy opened the news con ference with a volunteered statement plugging for congressional action on three legislative propos-He said he hopes the youth opportunities bill can be enacted als. before Congress takes its Easter recess. He noted hearings have been completed in the House on legislation to help produce more doctors and dentists. The talents of young persons going into these professions are needed, he said, and he hopes the bill will be passed.

He urged prompt attention to his legislative recommendations in the field of mental health. Soon after the question period began, the President was asked about the four U.S. aviators who lost their lives in the ill-fated Bay of Pigs Cuban invasion. Were they employes of the government or the CIA? Kennedy did not direcf. answer the question.

He said it was a voluntary flight, and that the men were serving their country. Many times over the past years, Kennedy said, Americans have served Section Of Alabama Hit By Tornado BESSMER, Ala. (UPI) A tornado ripped section of this Birmingham suburb Tuesday, causing damages estimated in the millions of dollars to at least 100 homes and businesses. Repair crews worked through the night with bulldozers and dump trucks in downtown sec tions clearing out brick walls and rooftops hurled into the streets National Guardsmen patrolled the street to keep out looters and sightseers. At least-12 persons were hos pitalized with injuries from the winds.

Mayor Jess Lanier, who said the damages would run "in the millions," said "it is fantas tic that nobody was killed." Like Freight Train Another tornado, "roaring like a freight train," struck the northwest Georgia town of Cave Spring Tuesday night, injuring two per sons and damaging several houses. The twister uprooted several trees and flung one across a power line, plunging about half the town in darkness for several hours. Witnesses said the Cave Spring tornado struck about 6 p.m.. CST and lasted about two minutes. WASHINGTON (AP)-President' Kennedy said today he still wants tax reductions linked with tax revisions and it is his judgment that Congress will enact a bill embracing both.

Kennedy did not say whether he would, if necessary, accept a tax cut without what he calls tax reforms. The first question at a presidential news conference was aimed at trying to clear up exactly what he would accept in tax legislation. Kennedy has proposed that Congress lower taxes by $13.6 billion over three years and offset this by tax revisions which would bring in $3.5 billion for a net cut of about $10 billion. Then last week he said tho important thing is to get a tax bill this year, and: "Whatever is necessary to get that bill, I would support." Some of his remarks to a symposium on economic growth sponsored by the American Bankers Association, were interpreted as meaning he would accept a $13.6 billion slash and, if need be, Recommend 15 New Sites For UW Extensions MADISON (UPI) An education planning group heard recommendations Tuesday for 15 new sites for future University of Wisconsin centers of state college branch campuses. The joint staff of a sub-committee of the state's coordinating committee for higher educationn made the recommendation.

The sub-committee, the coordinating committee, the Legislature, and either the University of Wisconsin board of regents or the state college board of regents must all approve the proposed sites. The suggested locations were Rice Lake, Medford, Rhineland-er, Shawano, Marshfield, Tomah, Baraboo or Reedsburg, Richland Center, Beaver Dam to Mayville, West Bend or Port Washington, Oconomowoc, Janesville Beloit, Monroe, Fond du Lac and Wisconsin Rapids. Marshfield has already been approved as a site for a future UW extension center. The group added in its recommendations that the understanding is that an additional campus of the UW would be located in southeastern Wisconsin probably In the Waukesha or Lake Geneva area. The study of the new came as the Legislature is considering a bill to close all of the state's 22, two-year county colleges by 1968.

By United Press International A March storm that dumped up to nine incnes ot new snow on parts of Wisconsin, blocking roads and closing schools, headed out of the state today leaving warmer weather in its wake. Schools throughout the south western part of the state were generally closed, with nine inches of snow falling at Madison, eight at La Crosse and seven at Lone Rock. Heavy amounts were also re corded in a narrow belt across the middle of the state from La Crosse to Wausau to Green Bay. Wausau has six inches. Green Bay seven.

Light snow was reported in the northwestern part of the state, and while traffic was tied up and roads described as hazardous in the southeast portions, snowfall amounts did not approach those in the west or central. Milwaukee had 4.8 inches of new snow and Rockford three. In the north, Eau Claire had just one inch. Occasional snow flurries were in prospect today, with the possibility of some slight thawing in the south where temperatures were expected to reach near 40 degrees. Cold weather in the 20s was expected to return Thursday.

The American Automobile Association (AAA) road report said improvement in driving conditions was expected throughout the day with mo6t roads expected to be in fair to good driving condition by noon. Blowing snow was expected to cause reduced visibility in many areas, however. Shortly before noon today, highways north of U.S. 8 were re.
