Gale winds, foreshadowing the ceaseless rains and cold of a gulf coast "norther," struck shortly before dusk to bring new suffering for this city's hungry and shelterless.

NO RETREAT INDICATED His statement, dictated to newsmen, said nothing to indicate a retreat from an earlier declaration which set off the party ruckus. He said Wednesday that should Eisenhower be unavailable, he would go ahead with a Knight-pledged delegation regardless of what Vice President Nixon does. Hinshaw spoke of Knight as a "purely synthetic" candidate for President and other pro Nixon Republicans rebuked the governor for talking of campaign plans during the President's illness. This, said Knight, is his position: He's for Eisenhower first, last and always.

"That does not mean I am running for President," he said. "It simply means that I would head an independent delegation to provide leadership for our party."

Put $15,000 in trust to guarantee the support payments after he leaves soon for Rome to make a movie.

3. Pay a $5,000 fee to his wife's attorney, S. S. Hahn, and $500 court costs. 'BITTER EXPERIENCE' The sum in trust was asked by Hahn "to protect my client from bitter experience." He cited his experience with 1 film star Flynn, against whom Hahn brought contempt-of-court action last year over a $10,000 child support debt owed ex-wife Nora Eddington.

Last April Hahn announced Flynn, movie acting in Rome, had paid up. Hahn asked dismissal of the contempt charge. Crawford's attorney, Gerald Lip-sky, told Superior Judge Edward R. Brand there was no similarity between the cases of Crawford, and the thrice wed Flynn. Judge Brand observed that the Crawfords had been married 14 as she tried Friday night for Brodenck Crawford to: years and said he understood "if you don't meet Flynn's wives im mediately, you miss them.

The order actually represented a financial setback for Mrs. Crawford. Last month the judge ordered her husband to continue paying about $2,000 a month pending Friday's hearing. She sought $2,000 a month plus $400 a month for the support of Kim, 8, and Kelly, 4. Most of the session was taken up with discussion of her household expenses.

Crawford's attorney asked her to list her clothes and to account for future clothing needs. 4,000 NOT ENOUGH "I don't believe that question is going to get us any place," Judge Brand interjected. "Any woman could have 4,000 dresses and that would still not be enough. Mrs. Crawford contended that her husband last year had a gross income of $178,000 and his earnings so far this year are about $140,000.

Cashey, testified that Crawford had only $66,000 left last year paying all expenses. to the governor's office in Indianapolis protesting what it called use of the troops "to bolster one side of the argument." It has been pointed out that New Castle is not under martial law and a battalion of national guardsmen on the scene have questionable authority either to keep the foundry closed or to bar union members and sympathizers from the area.

VPi Rescue teams brought down the first bodies Friday from the moun tain peak scene of America's worst commercial airlines disaster as investigators sought the cause of the crash which took 66 lives.

Skilled climbers battled high winds and deep snow drifts for six hours before they were able to retrieve the remains of two women and two children from the blackened spot on Medicine Bow Mountain where a United Air Lines DC-4 crashed Thursday. Rescue work halted at dusk to be resumed Saturday. Officials predicted it would take several days to bring down all the bodies over the difficult terrain. As government and airline officials sifted the widely scattered bits of wreckage for clues as to the cause, UAL President W. A.

All the USC coed had to do to win TV's biggest giveaway was walk to a table and gather up the greenbacks. But first Pat had been put into a trance by hypnotist Arthur Ellen on NBC's "Truth or Consequences" as a stunt to match the staggering popularity of "The $64,000 Question." Ellen told Pat she would be unable to get up from her chair and touch the money after she awoke. True to the predictions of experts on hypnosis, the 19-year-old brunette student, daughter of an air craft executive, sat as if glued to her chair.

She was unable to break the "post-hypnotic" suggestion. After Ellen put her in trace, he told her, "You will not be able to reach the money.

The sergeant said the dog had followed his daughter home from school Thursday. He checked with the Humane Society and found the Celidonios had reported it missing, Secretary of State Dulles next "I think you could say," presi dential press secretary James C.

27." These topics include unification of Germany, European security, disarmament, and increased East- West contacts. The Eisenhower-Dulles talks will follow a weekend visit by Vice President Nixon at the presidential bedside. The announcement that Dulles will fly to Denver came as the chief executive neared the close of his first critical two weeks on the recovery road. Medical bulle tins Friday repeated the familiar theme that Eisenhower is making satisfactory progress "without com plications." The 4:15 p. m.

bulletin reported that the President did some read ing on his own for the first time. A table was rolled over the Pres ident's bed and a bookrack placed on the table made it unnecessary for the chief executive to hold the book as he read from one of his favorites, A. Conan Doyle's "Sir Nigel." Hagerty said Eisenhower would Struck Indiana Plant Permitted To Reopen; Governor Flies Back NEXT TUESDAY House set up for President Tuesday. be doing his own reading from now on but the material would be light and include no government papers. Heretofore Army nurses have read to the President.

An ever-present "if" still is attached both to the Nixon visit and the Dulles conference. They will take place "if" the chief executive's doctors allow them.

Hillings said he had called Walter Byers, executive secretary of the NCAA at Kansas City, and inquired into the general NCAA program.

He also requested Byers to forward to him official papers and data adopted by the NCAA on the TV problem. Hillings made it plain he was not prejudging the matter but emphasized that he believes the subject to be a major one, worthy of attention from the Judiciary COLLEGE FOOTBALL TV FACES OFFICIAL LOOK TOOTH FAIRY REWARDS FAITH OF LITTLE GIRL NEW CASTLE, Ind Gov. George N. Craig sent word he was hurrying back to Indiana Friday from Florida, a few hours after Perfect Circle Corp. won city officials' permission to reopen Monday its foundry where eight persons were wounded in rioting Wednesday.

Gov. Craig's office in Indianap olis immediately arranged for a conference of company, union and law enforcement officials Sunday afternoon in the statehouse. Craig's aides would not say whether his return was prompted by the piston ring company's decision, approved by Mayor Paul E. McCormack of New Castle. Meanwhile ranking guard offi cers had informed Mayor McCormack they intend to withdraw their men and equipment from the Perfect Circle foundry property before it opens Monday.
