Meanwhile, rivers were on the rise again Friday as heavy spring rains halted cleanup operations and raised fears of worse flooding ahead. More than 2,000 persons who fled last week in some of the worst flooding ever along the swollen Illinois River were still with friends or in emergency shelters Friday. The Illinois River at Peoria rose to 26.3 feet Friday, up three inches from the day before, after receding steadily from last week's near record height of 28.7 feet Experts predicted that the riv-er would level off at below 27 feet this weekend and begin falling again, barring heavy rain.

That's Jeff Gollings with Kewanee (AP) A tornado smashed a window in Ke-wanee-Wethersfield High School and damaged two houses and several outbuildings Friday, but no injuries were reported, police said. Although central Illinois was under a tornado watch from mid-afternoon to 9 p.m. Friday, there were no reports of damage in this area. The twister blew out a window at the Kewanee school gymnasium, where a group of high school and junior high school students were in physical education classes.

None were injured. The tornado ripped off the roof of one bouse, tore the chimney from another and toppled a backyard shed before leaving Kewanee, authorities said.

Chapman also said that additional symptoms were necessary before Mrs. Salmons could be classified as severely depressed.

"Symptoms include sleep disturbance, early morning awakenings, appetite disturbance, weight loss and difficulty in concentrating, for instance, in a conversation," Chapman said. "Or in a trial?" Eberspacher asked. "Or in a trial," Chapman said. Discussing unipolar depression (presented as a diagnosis Thursday) before the jury, Chapman also said that the suffering person would be unable to enjoy anything and would not take good grooming care of him or herself. Other rebuttal -witnesses who testified for the prosecution Friday afternoon were Dr.

By Linda Negro Shelbyville A Bloomington psychiatrist testified Friday that Mrs. Dorothy Salmons of Decatur was not suffering from mental disease or defect on the day Judith Ann Townsend, 29, of Shelbyville, was slain. Dr.

Robert E. Chapman, 46, said Mrs. Salmons had a personality disorder but it did not "incapacitate her from appreciating the criminality of her acts." Chapman was one of five witnesses called Friday, the fourth day of the murder trial. Friday's witnesses were called by Shelby County State's Attorney Edward Eberspacher III to rebut testimony by defense witnesses. Closing statements by both attorneys will be given beginning at 9:30 a.m.

Nurse Beverly Jones had told her if she left work she would need a certificate from a doctor. Mrs. Salmons testified earner this week that she left work Dec. 11 with a migraine headache and headed for her doctor in Cerro Gordo, but ended up in the Townsend home in Shelbyville.

Chapman also studied the tape of Mrs. Salmons' recorded statement in Macon County. "I found a large range of emotional tones from sadness and remorse to almost tears, to haughtiness, anger and accusations," Chapman said. "But there was no evidence of mental disease of defect present at the time." Chapman repeated the phrase "no evidence of mental disease" many times throughout his 2Vfe hours of testimony and cross-examination. The doctor said he couldn't agree with the diagnosis of hysterical neurosis because certain evidence of such was not present.

"The subject would have had to be in a trance orltered state before, during or after the incident for that diagnosis," Chapman said. "That (hysterical neur Democratic Senate primary last year, said he most likely will seek Stevenson's seat. s. Dixon said he expects a formidable challenge from Scott. The two were the state's largest vote-getters last November when they both won re-election.

Stevenson, elected in 1970 to the unex- -pired term of Sen. Everett M. Dirksen, has been plagued recently by political problems. Last year he was jeered at a state AFL-CIO convention after he said he would support natural gas deregulation. Polls showed him slipping in name recognition and voter approval Politicians attributed it to a lack of visibility in Illinois and an inability of Stevenson to adapt to new, television-oriented campaign techniques.

Late in 1978 he began talking about a third-party run for president, saying the Democrats were "mortgaged" to labor and the Republicans to business. Then he said he might seek the Democratic nomination for president, run for another term in the Senate or move back to his Illinois farm to "think, write, speak." "The Senate can be a distraction for serious public servants," Stevenson said in "It distracts you frequently from serious work." Stevenson also complained about his role as chairman of the Senate Ethics Committee. "I don't want to be the truant officer for the U.S. Senate," he said. The News-Gazette, with a circulation of 44,936, hired five newsroom employees away from the Courier in recent weeks to begin a morning edition after reports began circulating that the Courier might close.

Most of the other 30 Courier newsroom employees don't have other jobs to go to, Selkowe said. The Courier employs 135 persons and the Journal 121 persons, including 24 newsroom employees. Lindsay-Schaub has set up a relocation service to help employees find new jobs. They will get severance pay equivalent to two weeks to 12 weeks of regular pay based on years of service. The Courier, which is more than 100 years old, has won about 900 photography awards and 100 news writing awards in its history.

The morning daily won five awards in Associated Press statewide writing competition last year. The evening Journal, with a daily circulation of 34,829, began publishing in 1891. Lindsay-Schaub bought the Courier in 1934 and the Journal in 1932. The Journal's closing leaves the city mington, testified that Mrs. Salmons attempts to block out unpleasant memories.

He disputed the theory that she was not in control or had "dis-sassociated" herself from the murder before it had happened. In giving Mrs. Salmons several intelligence and perception tests, Chapman said he noticed she "had a particular way of dealing with unpleasant stress and unwanted wishes and desires. "She used a mechanism known as denial to deny the existence, block out, disregard and keep away from consciousness (the unpleasant memories)," Chapman said. Chapman also talked with the people Mrs.

Salmons was in contact with before and after the Dec. 11, 1978 slaying, including the nurse at Caterpillar Tractor Co. in Decatur and detectives at the Macon County Sheriff's Department where she had turned herself in. "From talking with these people I learned that she tended to be calm and there was no evidence that she was confused or disoriented," Chapman said. "She knew exactly what she wanted and didn't want and where she was go that he would not run if Dixon becomes a candidate.

"It is a practical political decision on my part," Simon said. "In part, I think at this point he has much greater statewide recognition, and it is in part that he and I have been friends for a long time." Dixon said he expected Simon's support. Other Democrats mentioned as possible candidates for the seat include former Gov. Dan Walker, former Cook County Assessor Thomas Tully and Alex Seith, who was beaten in the 1978 Senate election by Sen. Charles Percy.

Walker said there was time to think about the possibilities and refused to elaborate. Of a possible race against Walker, who upset him in a 1972 gubernatorial primary after a bitter campaign, Dixon said, "I neither fear it, nor would I be eager for it." Attorney General William Scott and state Rep. Cal Skinner of Crystal Lake are candidates for the Republican nomination. Peoria Mayor Richard Carver has said he is likely to seek the Republican nod. "My plans will not be appreciably changed by the announcement (by Stevenson)," Carver said Friday in Peoria.

"I had anticipated this possibility but it won't affect what I do. Certainly Alan Dixon would be a formidable candidate." Meanwhile Anthony MartinTrigona, who was soundly beaten by Seith in a "We're very unhappy, red-eyed and miserable trying to put out our last paper," he said. Byron C. Vedder, vice president of planning for Lindsay-Schaub, said Friday the papers were closed because they were not producing enough income. "Lindsay-Schaub is getting put of the newspaper business," Journal Publisher W.C.

Boyne said. "The employees expected' an announcement," Boyne said. "We've kept them up to date on what was going on." Courier Publisher Jerry E. Dunning said employees there took the announcement well. "They understood all efforts were exhausted to try to sell the papers," he said.

Selkowe said news coverage in the Champaign-Urbana area will suffer as a result of the Courier's closing. He described the competition, the Champaign News-Gazette, as a community booster publication which "caters to the advertising community." "Without us to keep them honest, they will continue to be that way," he said. Washington (AP) U.S. Sen. Adlai E.

Stevenson of Illinois said Friday he will not run for another term. Illinois Secretary of State Alan J. Dixon immediately announced that he would declare his candidacy Monday for the Democratic Senate nomination. "This decision was made two years ago," said Stevenson, 48, son of a two-time Democratic presidential nominee. He said he decided to wait until after the 1978 elections and the start of the new Congress to make the announcement.

Stevenson, who has spoken recently of challenging for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1980, said that he has "no plans beyond the Senate, nor any intention of making them soon. Nothing is ruled out." Although Stevenson has criticized President Carter for what he called a lack of leadership and made speeches about policy problems, he has not announced as a candidate for the White House, raised funds or signed up campaign workers. "After 10 years in the Senate, it will be time to move on and make room for another," Stevenson said. "I will serve out my term to the best of my ability and continue laying out alternatives for the country." U.S. Rep.

Paul Simon, said he would talk with Stevenson and Dixon this weekend to decide if he is interested in the nomination. He reiterated April 14 is the date for elections in the eight school districts throughout Macon County. The Decatur Board of Education candidates tell why they believe they should be elected in a package of stories in the Sunday Herald and Review. The candidates were invited to submit the statements for publication. Early this year, Stevenson began introducing sweeping legislation that would sharply revamp U.S.

policy in such fields as agriculture, energy and international trade. He traveled the country making speeches about the need to speed American technological innovation as a way of maintaining the nation's position in the world marketplace. Repeatedly, Stevenson has sponsored legislation to create a government-owned petroleum corporation to develop U.S. oil reserves and deal with foreign countries for oil. The bill always has been killed.

(AP) Presumably everyone knows "The Spirit of St. Louis" crossed the Atlantic first from west to east but it was a Junker that did it the other way. Less than a year after Charles Lindbergh made the first trans-Atlantic flight in 1927, two Germans and an Irish airman flew a Junker monoplane from Baldonnel Field in Ireland to Greenery Island, Canada. The plane, on exhibit in the Henry.

Schenner, president and treasurer of Lee Enterprises, said Friday that no date has been set for the sale of the remaining Lindsay-Schaub papers to Lee. In January Schermer said the sale would be completed in several months. He said Friday he had nothing new to report on the transaction. Under January's tentative purchase agreement Lee would acquire the Herald and the Review, the Southern II-linoisan of Carbondale, the Intelligencer of Edwardsville, the Midland Daily News of Midland, Mich, and the Huron Daily Tribune of Bad Axe, Mich. Neither Lindsay-Schaub nor Lee has announced future plans for employees of the firm's corporate office in Decatur, which includes editorial writers.

Vedder of Lindsay-Schaub said Friday Lee would decide the future of the corporate office. He said he doesn't know how many people work in that office, which is located in Decatur. Back in 1855 members of St. John's Episcopal Church had to wait their turn to worship. The Anglican community shared space with other congregations in the old Masonic Temple.

Five other Lindsay-Schaub newspaper properties, including the Decatur Herald and the Decatur Daily Review, are being sold to Lee Enterprises Inc. of Davenport, Iowa, Lindsay-Schaub revealed in January. The Courier and Journal are not part of the transaction. Lindsay-Schaub reported earlier it was trying to find buyers for the Courier and Journal.

The, Courier said Thursday a Massachusetts investor was hopeful that new ownership for the paper would be announced soon. But "not enough money was raised to buy the paper," Courier Editor Peter W. Selkowe said Friday. "The mood here is terrible," Selkowe said. "We were a good newspaper.
