SIX THE BRIDGEPORT POST, WEDNESDAY. MARCH 6. 1963. FLOODS EASE IN 4 STATES; LOSSES HIGH (Continued from Page One) about 85 buildings in Bessemer and other suburbs areas. Several persons were i jured.

Property damage was peeled to run into the millions dollars. Two persons were inju ed and several houses damagec in a violent wind storm in Ca Springs, Ga. Leave Homes About 1,000 families were mat temporarily homeless by th surging waters in West Virgin! Ohio and Pennsylvania. An est mated 500 persons have bee forced to leave their homes Indiana. In Athens, Ohio, last nigh about 800 students were evacu ated from four dormitories Ohio university as the Hockin river overflowed into lowlyin areas of the campus.

Seven dozen families also were force to leave their homes. Athens, town of 16,470 in southeastern Ohio, was completely cut from other communities, with a highways and the Baltimore an Ohio railroad tracks inundated In Warren county, in southei Ohio, the number of evacuees to taled more than 400 families However, floodwaters receded i southwestern Ohio. Most of th tributaries flowing into the Ohii river also dropped. Flood Stage In West Virginia, the Ohio rive rose to flood stage from Wheel ing southward into Kentucky. In Cincinnati the big river was ex pected to crest sometime Satur day at 57 feet, five feet above flood stage.

It also appearcc headed for crests above floo stage in Huntington, W. Va. Ashland, and Maysville within the next three days Flood conditions in western Pennsylvania appeared generally improving. The crest of the Monongahela river passed Brad dock and was-expected to pass Pittsburgh without major overflows. Flooding was reported in low areas in Dravorsburg, community of nearly 4,000 about 12 miles upstream from Pittsburgh.

In Indiana, many rivers anc streams headed toward expectec crests above flood stage but the end of heavy rains eased the threat of major overflows. Some flooding was reported in Maryland, with about 25 houses damaged in Crellin, in the western part of the state, after the Youghiogeny river spilled over its banks. Many highways in the area were inundated. 'Rain Falls Outside the flood areas, rain fell in Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginia and moved eastward. Another belt of rain extended from th? Ohio valley eastward to the Atlantic coast.

Freezing rain mixed with snow pelted New England, changing to rain in southern sections. Gale warnings were posted along the coast. Freezing-rain also hit southern sections of lower Michigan while light snow fell from the northern plains into the central Rockies. Rain dampened areas in northern California while fair to partly cloudy skies prevailed in other parts of the nation. No severe cold weather was reported.

Temperatures ranged from near zero in northern Maine to the 70s in southern Florida. The 20s and 30s prevailed in the WEDNESDAY: "Whn the (Irl next to me at school saw my green make, she raised her haad tod asked (be teacher permlulM ie scream." 1 I I I i i I major part of the nation, with ibnj the 40s and 50s along the West coast and the 50s and 60s in the Southeast. NEW VIRUSES HTf MANKIND (Continued from Page One) during chain-reaction epidemic reproducing more viruses in eac person. Something could go amiss the gigantic assembly line that a slightly different virus produced from time to time. An with more than three billion pec pie in the world now, the chance could be greater that a new viru could appear, Huebner explain But there's no way yet prove this.

"Peculiar" illnesse this year could well be due some old vims that hadn't bee active in recent years in your 1 cality. Bloody Noses This year, for example, i some eastern cities many peopl got bloody noses, beyond the ex pectation of slight bleeding du to injury to nasal membranes colds, perhaps abetted by lo' lumidity in heated houses. These people got real nosebleeds, only sometimes alon with coughs, muscular aches am intestinal upsets. One nose am ihroat specialist called it--per haps blood; virus." Remember "Virus am '24-hour virus" and othe names? These are easy designations foi nfections when doctors and pa ients don't go to the trouble-and expense--of laboratory tests identify the exact virus making a playground of your body. Go Deeper But virus researchers have deeper and are well along classifying 10 dozen or more viruses into types and families-- ometimes overlapping known Echo Virus, RS or respira ory synctytial, Adeno, Rhino Entero, Coryza, Ard, and Ere 'iruses.

They also are working out the itory--still incomplete--of Aat symptoms each type pro uces. These viruses cause vary- ng amounts of annual sickness, nd Asian Flu got in some extra efty licks this year. Vaccines are controlling some the most dangerous viruses ncluding polio, flu and smallpox. The push for practical vaccines gainst "common cold," respira- jry and intestinal viruses is tougher, partly because so any viruses are involved. Quite from the boon of vaccines reduce human misery from ese viruses, this research has van greater implications.

Cause Cancers One is the growing suspicion at garden-variety types of vises may be implicated some- iw in causing certain human mcers, says Dr. Maurice R. illeman of the Merck Institute Therapeutic Research in West oint. Pa. Two adeno viruses which use respiratory troubles in hu- ans--have been found capable producing malignancies in ani- als, he points out.

The research for vaccines ainst fairly ordinary viral dis- ses may help in defining causes human cancer applying similar chniques for protection, Dr. eman says.

West Berlin city officials associates found that 'll vi- long tried to have the Intourist i ru5es or virus families apparent- office removed. But the Russians cause 40 per cent of respira- viruses hitting the nervous system might begin acting like some minor viruses. Says one doctor: six times this year he's had a recurrence of diarrhea and soreness of shoulder muscles blamed on a virus.

Apparently this virus only feebly provokes normal body defenses, just enough to control the infection for a time, then the virus acts up again. If a nerve virus, such as a polio or coxsackie virus, behaved this way, the damage could be tremendous. First Task For a vaccine against "colds," says Hilleman, the first task is to pin down which ones are most important in causing sicknesses, and then to learn how -many effectively and safely can be combined in a vaccine. In some of the initial steps, he held on to the site as one of the lory illnesses in children, and 19 four occupation powers in Ber- pe cent of those in adults. Other lin.

March P) Charles H.

Perkins, who THREE SUSPECTED IN BISHOP THREAT (Continued from Page One) not know how long the investiga tion would take, but said tha when completed a report will be submitted to U.S. Attorney Robert C. Zampano, who will decide on the action to be taken. Meanwhile, State Jail Adminis trator Harold E. Hegstrom, sai that no State jail guards have been implicated so far in the smuggling of the extortion letter from the jail.

Mr. Hegstrom's department is conducting an in vestigation at the North avenue into special favors grantei a prisoner, a charge that resulted from the FBI and State Police investigation in the ex case. The two investiga tions are not connected. The letter was reportedly smuggled out of the jail in Janu ary; it was postmarked Jan. 28 Pullen was in the State, jail a hat time awaiting action by the Superior court.

Mr. Hegstrom said that the state police, in a report made in late February, "made no that guards at Fairfield State jail might be involved in the smuggling." He also commented on his own investigation, begun yesterday by Deputy Jail Administrator Joseph M. McDonald. Supervisors Quizzed "Mr. McDonald has questioner ive of the personnel at the North Avenue jail," Mr.

Hegstrom said. "He has started with the supervisors, and will go on down the ine. "We want a thorough investiga- ion," he stressed. Involved in the jail investiga. icn is Gerald Gerardi of Stam- 'ord, now an inmate of Wethers- ield jail with Pullen, and in late "anuary an inmate with him ol the North avenue jail.

The investigation centers around wo questions--whether Gerardi preferential treatment while at the jail during a Mann Act trial in U.S. District court in New Haven, and wheth- he smuggled letters from an- ither prisoner in the jail. This investigation by Mr. Mc- Xmald differs from State police nvestigation, which was concerned primarily with the smuggling, ncident. But, it was learned, the State wlice came across the Gerardi matter of preferential treatment diile investigating the smuggling ncident.

Full Text Not Disclosed Mr. Weeks said he would not make public the full text of the etter, "as it may be evidence lat- on." State Police Capt. Jesse Foley said that several letters were vidently prepared for mailing rom the North Avenue jail "but nly the one in the possession of he FBI got out." Pullen had been arrested here ollowing a combined Bridgeport- 7 airfield-State Police investiga- ion into an alleged extortion plot. At the time of Pullen's arrest, wlice authorities declined to identify the intended victims, saying only Uie case involved "a prominent Fairfield family." According to unofficial but reliable sources this family was that of Andrew R. Smith, of 3321 Park, avenue, Fairfield.

Mr. Smith is president of Smith, Ramsey and company, Bridgeport stock brokers. Gerardi and two other men, Harry Stein, operator of the Blue Rail restaurant in Port Chester, N. and Alfonso Morgsn, of Greenburgh, N. were convicted on the Mann Act violation about two weeks ago and are awaiting sentencing.

complaints concerning treatment of Gerardi alleged that tie was allowed to have visitors after regular visiting hours. Gerardi's lawyer, Robert R. joldberger, told Mr. HcEstromi a letter yesterday that "it ap-l pears to me that someone is i i ercsted in creating a prejudicial atmosphere for my client prior sentencing."
