While only one case among the school children has been definitely confirmed as being Asian Flu, Dr. Ralph E.

Dwork, state health director, said it is possible there are 180 cases of Asian Flu there. cers as North Little Rock High' School students were taken into custody. The quick nabbing of agitators seemed to have a dampening effect on the crowd. Apparently the police meant to remove agitators from the scene as they arrive. Meanwhile President Eisenhower's vacation headquarters reiterated the chief executive is ready to order federal troops to Little Rock to quash any new outbreak of racial violence at Central High.

At Sea Island, where Gov. Orval Faubus has disputed the President's right to use troops without the governor's consent, Faubus was reported poised to return to Arkansas.

The President will speak from his White House office in the capital. Replying to questions, Hagerty said Eisenhower is not ending his Newport vacation.

He plans to return to Newport Wednesday morning. Ike Angry The President was clearly angered by the racial disorders in the Arkansas capital. He put out a statement saying: "I will use the full power of the United Statesincluding whatever force may be necessaryto pre. vent any obstruction of the law and to carry out the (integration) orders of the federal court." Eisenhower and his legal advisers have no doubt the proclamation does open the way for ordering out federal troops. But Arkansas Gov.

Orval Fail-bus contends the President can't use federal forces in Little Rock unless requested by the governor. "I don't plan to make any such request," Faubus said. The governor last Friday night obeyed a Federal District Court order to withdr a National Guardsmen used to bar Negro pupils from Little Rock's Central High School. Faubus said he put the soldiers there to preserve law and orderto prevent violence. Mondaywhile Faubus was In Georgia attending the Southern Governors Conference violence did break out at the high school as nine Negroes entered the buildIng.

After a bloody round of rioting on the grounds, they left. Sen. McClellan (D-Ark) took the position Eisenhower has no legal authority to use federal troops to enforce integration. Ile noted that Congress, in passing civil rights legislation at the last session, repealed a Reconstruction era law that empowered the President to use troops to enforce court orders in civil rights cases. Eisenhower drew on other legal authority in issuing his cease and desist order which James C.

Hagerty, White House press secretary, called a necessary step in advance of any actual use of troops. He acted under Title 10 of the United States Code. Its provisions say in part: "Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it im- practicable to enforce the laws of the United States in any state or territory by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into federal service such of the militia of any state, and use such of the armed forces as he considers necessary to enforce those laws and to suppress the rebellion." from this same category, it was indicated, and would involve funds which otherwise might go to the city The county library seeks something like $17,000 in additional funds. It, too, had its request rejected by the county Budget' Commission, and is appealing to the State Tax Commission. Two Members Absent Two members of Council were absent from Monday's special session.

They were Ralph Heilman and James Hinkle. However, since no suspension of rules were required by the resolution, the remaining five members were able to take action. Pending a reply from the State Tax Commission on the city's request for a 30-day, extension in preparation of its appeal, data is to be assembled as quickly as possible in support of the appeal. A request for prompt preparation of this information was made of Auditor Webb last Friday and is believed, in some quarters, to have led to his resignation He pointed out, too, that there is a long-standing court ruling that if appeals in this classification are "passed up" for five consecutive years, the county is entitled to what might otherwise be the city's share. The city has never previously questioned, by appeal, the current apportion-1 ment in this category.

Referring to the court ruling, Mr. Stanhope said he could not "go along with it," but it might mean carrying an appeal to the State Supreme Court for a final decision. In the "local government" category, the city now is receiving an approximate 33 per cent, based on the 1950 census. Council contends that, on the basis of the city's present population, its share should be about 47 per cent. This change, if made, would provide about $15,000 additional for the city, it was indicated.

The county library also is seeking more funds for 1958, and this Increase, if allowed, would come Three Local Men Now Engineers The outbreak of influenza which Dr. Dwork said began about Thursday, Sept. 12, reached its peak six days later. He called the oubreak "higher than usual" for a school. Dr.

Dwork declined to identify the school. He said outbreaks of very similar illnesses now are being investigated in three schools in Lucas County, which he also declined to identify. The Sandusky outbreak, he continued, so far has been confined to one school which has BOO students. No severe complications were reported and the disease on the average lasted about three days. The department made a spot check of absenteeism in schools in Toledo, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus Monday and found no undue rate.

Dr. Dwork said a small outbreak of a mild illness was reported in one school in Akron and this is being checked against the possibility of Asian Flu. If the disease remains as mild as it has been in the cases now under investigation, there is not cause for alarm, Dr. Dwork said. NEW YORK UilThe AFL-CIOI ethical practices committee has brought a corruption indictment against the Bakery and Confectionary Workers International Union and the United Textile Workers of America, the parent labor body announced today.

Misuse of union funds and other malpractices were char ged against some union officers. The committee found that the two unions do not "meet the standards for ethical union practices" established by the AFL-CIO. The report was issued as the Teamsters Union reportedly faced an ultimatum from the AFL-CIO high command to clean up within a month or be suspended from the labor federation. The fate of the Teamsters, the nation's biggest union, and the future of its Vice President James R. Hoffa in the merged labor movement rested with the 29- member AFL 00 Executive Council.

The council is meeting here today and Wednesday in extraordinary session to handle charges against the three unions. John Beckerdite, 76, of Warsaw, died in Chillicothe Hospital at 9:55 a.m. Tuesday of injuries received last Tuesday evening when the car he was driving rolled over, in the construction area of Route-23; north of the state patrol post. Be became the eighth traffic fatality this year and the first this month as compared with 18 deaths in 1956 for the same period. Mr.

Beckerdite's injuries were listed at the time of his accident as a crushed chest, broken pelvis and broken right shoulder. A passenger in the car, Mart Wallen. 65, also of Warsaw, suffered a cut on his left ear, multiple abrasions on his body and mild concussion. He was released from the hospital a few days later. The accident occurred, according to the state patrol.

when Beckerdite failed to heed 18 warning signs that indicated the four-Jane highway narrowed to two-lanes with a cross-over from the four-lane to the two-lane section. His car went between a large sign and several mailboxes before rolling over several times. Both men were thrown from the car witnesses told the state patrol. The body has been taken to Ware's Funeral Home pending arrangements. City Council, in special session, amended its 1958 budget Monday night in preparation for its appeal to the State Tax Commission, and asked for a 30-day extension In preparing that appeal.

The extension was requested, due to the resignation Monday of the city's fiscal officer, Auditor David K. Webb. Council, by motion, expressed regret at Mr. Webb's decision to resign. No successor has as yet been named.

Council's action on the city budget was taken to correct two errors in bond listings. The effect of the corrections is expected to be an additional allocation from the County Budget Commission of $3,438 for the city's 1958 apportionment. Cited as incorrectly listed were two bond issues, currently totalling about $110,000. One involved the recent Water Street interceptor sewer which, It is contended, is not a general obligation since it is to be paid from sewer rental fee revenues. It was pointed out by Solicitor William Stanhope that this issue could not become a general obligation as long as sufficient funds remain in the sewer rental fund.

The other sewer project dates back to Nov. 1, 1935 when 000 was voted for a general project in the West End. Of this issue, approved at an only $55,000 remains unpaid. It is scheduled to be retired in 1961. It is the city's contention that this issue has been carried "inside" the 10 mill limitation, whereas it should have been placed "outside." Proper classification of both sewer projects "outside" will provide the city the additional $3,438 in budgetary funds, the city asserts.

He pointed out that an increase in students was felt this year in the lower grades and that the next few years will see a marked growth in the school population. "It is not too early for Chillicotheans to make plans to care for this influx of new students," he said. Stanley Martin, architect of McLaughlin and Keil, Lima, answered questions regarding the proposed new buildings.

In attendance besides numerous civic groups were members of the City Board of Education and City Council. C. R. Duncan Gives Up Dramatics Councilman Everett Gire wanted to know "why wasn't all this discovered but got no specific answer. Mr.

Stanhope replied that it was not sin his province to check on items listed in the mayor's budget. He said sinking fund figures come from the city treasurer, in cooperation with the city auditor, and that the mayor then includes these figures In the complete budget which he offers to Council for its action. The city has some hope of convincing the State Tax Commission that it also is entitled to a larger share in the "free znillage" and "local government" apportionments. A ruling in the city's favor in the former category would provide about WOO additional, Mr. Stanhope said, but would mean that the county would lose about $4 for every $1 gained by the city.

He intimated that such an exchange might not be an actual advantage to the city, and that It is a matter for Council to This took the Labor Department's consumer price index to 121 per cent of the 1947-49 average, 3.6 per cent higher than a year ago.

Five automobiles figured in an accident on Main Street, just east of Paint Street, about 7:35 p.m.

Monday. Mrs. Helen L. Cooke, 27, Findlay, later charged with driving an auto having insufficient brakes, told police the driver of the first car she hit, jumped from his car and let it crash into a sedan parked at the curb. Polite said the accident occurred as Mrs.

Cooke was driving west on Main Street and attempted to stop behind a tank truck waiting in a line of traffic. As she slowed, the brakes of her car failed. To avoid a collision with the rear of the truck, Mrs. Cooke swerved across the center of the street, striking an eastbound station wagon driven by David W. Kern, 36, of 552 Kern Ave.

Mr. Kern's station wagon then crashed into a parked sedan owned by Miss Pauline Welch, Greenfield. At the same time, Mrs. Cooke swerved away from hitting the station wagon and struck the rear bumper of a car just ahead of the tank truck. It in turn hit the car ahead.

Drivers of the cars ahead of the tank truck were Thomas J. Rigney 37, of 72 W. Second and Mrs. Beta C. Edinger, 32, of 750 E.

C. William O'Neill told Republican members of the Ohio Senate today. The governor met at the mansion with the senators to go over several departmental reports and discuss current problems. O'Neill also said the number of patients In Ohio's mental hospitals has dropped to the lowest figure In four years despite a record admission rate of 12,000 yearly. Earlier, the governor had announced his Intent to open camps, similar to the civilian conservation camps of the 1930s, as a move to reduce juvenile delinquency.

He attributed the decrease in mental patients to stepped up social service functions for returning patients to the community when cured or ready for placement In a rest or nursing home; successful use of drugs and substantial increase in the number of treatment personnel.

These are the first purchased since 100 machines were bought in 1954 for Ross County. However, the county last year rented eight machines with the understanding the rental price (MO each) could be credited to the purchase.

The board of elections, in recommending the purchase of the eight machines, pointed to need for them, demonstrated last year when they were rented, and also to the increased registration for the November election. Wednesday is the absolute dead. line for registering for voting this fall. The board of elections office will be open from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m.

Normally office hours are from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. The resolution of purchase adopted by Commissioners Ralph P. Stitt, Clyde Thomas and John Meeker points out "that since voting machines have been adopt. ed as the method for voting ia Ross County, it will be a long.
