WW 2 THE STATE JOURNAL Saturday, Jan. 13, 1962 Wounded Michigan i Says Educational TV Farmer's Bad Luck Sift Fatal Air Crash No Cure-All in School taught to nearly seven million stu- i jf .7 Educational TV is no cure-all i for overcrowded classrooms and i other school problems. Dr. Lynn M. Bartlett, state superintendent of public instruction, warned Michigan educators attending a Kellogg center seminar Friday.

The group of some 65 school men met for two days to review recent rapid growth in use of television in teaching, and one of the speakers, Donald Emery, superintendent of schools in Shaker Heights, Ohio, said progress so far is encouraging. In future years, he said, TV may be a dominant factor in the classroom. COSTS HIGH But Dr. Bartlett said teaching by the electronic media has its misleading aspects, particularly in cost, because TV programming reauires numerous technicians and hieh-Driced eauipment. Also, TV will never replace tne competent, well trained teacher, the state official said.

Bartlett said proposals for set ting up a state-wide television network extending to every section of the state are currently being studied and urged support for pas sage of legislation pending in me United States house of representatives rules committee which would provide matching funds for such a project. He envisaged the state network as serving not only school classrooms, but many state, depart ments, including the highway de partment, the conservation commission, state police and others. The network, if established, would share a 24-hour day be tween the schools and the various agencies. Police couia use it, ne said, to flash pictures of stolen cars or wanted criminals, and the highway department to send out daily work orders to various parts of the state. GROWTH CITED Emerv.

in his talk previous to Bartlett's, reviewed the growth of educational TV, stating it had grown from a single course taught to 59 students in 1951, to more than 1,000 organized courses Tax Time Joint, Separate Returns Married persons have a choice in most cases of filing either a joint or separate return. To file a joint return, both husband and wife must be either an American citizen or a resident alien at all times during the taxable year, You do not file a joint return by merely including your wifes in come in your return. both of vou must sign it. A joint return can be filed on either the Form 1040 or the Form 1040-A. Read the instructions to see if you are eligible to use the 1040-A since everyone cannot use it.

Marital status is determined as of the last day of the taxable year. The instruction book explains how to determine your marital status. If your husband or wife died during the year, you are considered married for the entire year and you may file a joint return. If an executor or administra tor has been appointed, the sur viving spouse and the executor or administrator must sign the re turn. Otherwise, the surviving spouse will sign and indicate that he or she is the surviving spouse; such as, John Jones (Surviving Spouse).

If a refund is due when one spouse is deceased, secure a Form 1310 from the internal revenue service. Attach the completed Form 1310 together with a copy of the certificate of death to the return.

Sf Man Found Hunter Finds Victim In Woods; Shot In Head A young man with a rifle bullet wound in the back of his head was. found about noon Saturday by a hunter near the west bank of the Red Cedar river, about 120 yards southeast of the intersection of Kalamazoo and Clippert sts.

State police identified the vic tim as William G. Hawley, 18, a Michigan State university freshman from Lodi, O. Offficers said the young man's father, Dr. Wil liam Hawley, is a physician. The youth was still alive at 1:30 p.

but was in critical condi tion, according to hospital authorities. Officers said they believed he had placed the barrel of a rifle in his mouth and pulled the trigger in a suicide attempt. A new .22 bolt action rifle, still bearing the price tag from a department store two blocks away, was found near the body. Officers said the gun was resting on a large piece of wrapping paper, used by the store sporting goods department, and they theorized the victim purchased the gun Sat urday morning. The victim was discovered by Robert Byrd, 505 S.

Homer as he was hunting rabbits along the river bank. Byrd told Det. Richard Thorne of the state police that his hound dog discovered the man. Officers said the wound in the back of the man's head was an exit wound and they were not certain where the bullet entered. The victim was taken to Edward W.

Sparrow hospital after police and neighbors helped carry him out through tangled underbrush to Clippert st. Dimes 'Airlift9 Business Steady At City Airport Business was reported "steady" Saturday morning at the March of Dimes "Airlift" headquarters in the Spartan aviation hangar at Capital City airport. Residents of the Lansing area were being given 10 minute-flights over the city in planes donated by private owners and the three operators at Capital City airport. All of the proceeds go into the March of Dimes campaign, according to Robert Yelvington, chairman. The flights cost two dollars for adults and half-price for children under 12.

It is now considered futile to try to unearth the debris in search of the dead, although a few poke around in the morass in search of relatives and friends. Ranrahirca. once a peaceful vil lage nestled in Huylas valley un der towering snow-capped peaks, is a tomb. Perhaps services will be held over it later. The thunderous slide of ice, rock, mud and boulders as large as four-story buildings virtually erased Ranrahirca and neighbor ing Yanama after dusk Wednesday.

More than 8,000 persons are officially listed as residents of these two villages, and their sur rounding rural areas. Other villages and settlements in the Inca farming valley also were swallowed up in the mile-long sea of mud and stones now-exuding the stench of death. How many died will probably never be known. Official esti mates Vun from 1,500 to several thousand. Fewer than 100 bodies have been recovered.

Most will not be. Another avalanche in this same Ancash province 21 years ago killed an estimated 5,000 persons. Only 300 bodies were recovered then. Wednesday's avalanche provided its own mass grave. Virtual ly everyone in its path was killed in his tracks.

The deadly swath was born on the slopes of Mount Huascaran Peru's highest peak and was unloosed by summer warmth. The sun has settled behind the towering peaks when the slide swept nine miles down a canyon and into the countryside. Most in Ranrahirca were in their homes, just finishing dinner. Minutes later, all but 50 of Ranrahirca's 500 residents were dead. AFL-CI0 Leader At Parley Here Governmental Employes' Union Meets Arnold P.

Bank Forecloses On Auto Agency A writ of attachment for $60,000 has closed the Kettles Ford deal ership in DeWitt. The writ was obtained by the Michigan National bank in circuit court in Clinton county against the Kettles Ford Sales, owned by Richard S.t and Charles S.

Kettles. Richard Kettles said that the bank couldn't consider his Ford franchise as an asset in the in ventory being taken by the sher iffs department. "That is controlled by Ford and can't be bought for a million or sold for a buck," he said. The company employs 14 persons.

13 A re tired Livingston county farmer who lost his $12,000 savings to bandits in 1958 and his wife in 1959, lost his home Friday in a S7.000 fire. Wasal Gwozdzik, 71, was driven from his home at 11545 Owosso rd. in Conwav township when a de fective chimney touched off the blaze at 12:15 p. m. Firemen from Fowlerville summoned help from the Howell fire department to help fight the fire at the home nine miles norm-east of here.

Gwozdzik, whose wife died May 19, 1959, waved to a neighbor when he discovered the fire, since he had no telephone, but the neigh bor thought he was waving a ereetine and didn't notice the blaze until later. Gwozdzik and his wife were severely beaten by a pair of bandits who invaded their home in 1958; and forced him to turn over 000 from a safe in a bedroom. Police said Gwozdzik didn't be lieve in banks. Firemen managed to save few articles of. furniture.

Concluded from Page One Truman telling the former presi dent that con-con had unani mously passed a bi-partisan resolution to invite you and President Eisenhower to address the constitutional convention while it is in session." Komney also produced a copy of a telegram1 which he sent to Truman Dec. 6 which informed Truman that Eisenhower had agreed to appear at con-con on Dec. 13 and mentioned Romnev's understanding (from McGaughey's visit at Independence) that, vou prefer to speak to us early part of January. STAEBLER COMMENTS Neil Staebler, Democratic na tional committeeman, said a for mal invitation to Truman to speak to con-con was not sent until Dec 18, or 23 days after McGaughey's interview with the former presi dent and five days after Eisen hower's hour-long speech and question-answer session with the delegates. 'This manner of handling went on while all the public pronounce ments were that one former presi dent would not be invited without the other," said Staebler.

Romney said Democratic partv otticiais were using the Truman turn-down" of the con-con invita tion in an attempt to embarrass him as a potential candidate for governor. Romney said he respected Tru man right to change his mind," but added that "the rec ord of communication with him and from him makes it clear that it is being used for specific parti san political purpose." He said he was willing to con sider the incident "closed, as far as I'm concerned," although commenting that -he "would be delighted if either President Kenne dy or former Pres. Truman would still agree to come before the convention." Riles Held for In fant Who Died in the Orient Funeral services were held Sat urday at Gorsline-Runciman fu neral home-for Amber L.

Plane Hits Wisconsin TV Tower; Pilot, Others Killed CHIPPEWA FALLS, Jan 13 W) The Wisconsin aeronautics commission was conducting an in-! vestigation today into the crash of a private airplane that killed five persons yesterday when the craft struck a television antenna tower which the commission said had been declared an air traffic hazard.

Killed in the crash were the pilot, Orin S. Slaussen, 40, of Mid- dleton, and four officials of the Oscar Mayer Co. meat packing firm of Madison. The four com pany men were William B. Ahem, 49, Edmund Blair, 33, John A.

Weaver, 35, and Earl W. Blanken- heim, 50, all of the Madison area The twin-engine, five place Cessna 310 smashed into cloud-shrouded 450-foot community TV antenna about one mile west of Chippewa Falls. The Oscar Mayer men were flying to Rice Lake on a business trip. The tower, owned by Chippewa Cable company, provides reception from eight distant television stations to area residents who sub scribe to the service. The commission began a suit against the company in 1960, shortly after the tower was built, contending it was erected illegally and that it was an air hazard.

Cir cuit Judge Clarence E. Rhinehard of Chippewa Falls upheld the commission's contention that the tower was a hazard and the Chip pewa Cable company appealed to the Wisconsin supreme court. Train Hits LogHauler; Driver Safe (Special to The Stats Journal) WEBBERVILLE, Jan. 13Rob ert B. Antes delivered a load of logs to a St.

Johns sawmill Saturday after a train hit the cab of his truck-trailer on Friday and he miraculously escaped alive. "I really don't know how I came out alive," Antes, 40, of Maple Rapids, told Wayne Anderson Webberville police chief. Antes was driving a semi-trailer truck loaded down with huge logs from a farm south of Webberville to the sawmill. Stockbridge rd. was slippery and at the grade crossing Antes was unable to stop.

His cab stuck a couple of feet over the tracks when a speeding passenger train, heading toward Lansing from Detroit, struck it. Antes was at the wheel with his foot on the brake at the impact. The heavy logs held in place with the cab only pivoting sidewards. But the impact jammed both doors tight shut. He said his cab was knocked virtually clear of the tracks and almost every succeeding car on the train sideswiped past in the brief time that followed.

When the train had passed, the truck was without a front tire, the hood, a part of the motor and almost one entire side of the cab. The train stopped and the engi neer, John Canfield of Grand Rap ids walked back to check the damage. He, too, was amazed to see Antes walking about un injured. Thirty minutes were required to clear the tracks and Antes left for another truck cab which was substituted Saturday and the trailer loaded with logs was hauled off to their destination.

He said his committee will in clude broad representation from state agencies, civil groups, conservation, agriculture and the alcoholic beverage industry- ben.

Paul C. Younger (R-Lan- singt, agreed with the governor. He asked for an indefinite suspension of the ruling. He had learned, he said, that the order would result in eliminating an annual 520 to billion goods and services from the chemical industry of Michigan to manufacturers of throw-away bottles. "On addition," he said, "Michi gan miners of silica would be severely damaged throuch a re duction of the volume of business they now realize by supplying sili ca to manufacturers ot non-return able bottles." A glass manufacturer had given serious thought to establishing a plant in Michigan, he said, but has withheld further action since announcement of the ban.

The figures included closed cir cuit TV within schools, airborne classrooms and local educational film courses distributed nationally by such organizations as National Educational Tele vision (N. E. Another conference speaker pre dicted that within five years as many as 35 million students will be receiving some form of tele vision instruction. Emery said the wider use of television in education is caused by an explosion in student popula tion, a shortage of trained teachers and an even more critical shortage of classrooms. Election Date Set Successor to Sen.

Miron Will Be Chosen at April 2 Vote A successor to the late Sen. William E. Miron, (D-Escanaba, will not be seated until about two weeks before the 1962 legislature is scheduled to adjourn. That was decided late Friday when Gov. Swainson set April 2 as the date for a special election to fill the vacancy caused by Miron's death Jan.

3. The primary election will be held Feb. 20. Swainson said he chose the April 2 date to coincide with special elections scheduled in Menominee, Escanaba, Gladstone, Manistique. Munising, St.

Ignace and Sault Ste. Marie, all in the 30th senatorial district. This would save $4,000 in election costs, he said. The candidates also need time to adequately present their candidacy in this seven-county district," he added. A Jan.

24 deadline was set for filing of nominating petitions and a Jan. 27 deadline for candidates to withdraw. Kent T. Lundgren, Menominee druggist and Republican delegate to the constitutional convention is considered a likely candidate for Miron seat. He ran three times against the former Delta county sheriff and twice was defeated by less than 150 votes.

William Leblanc, Chip pewa county Republican chairman, is another possibility. Prentiss M. Brown, of St. Ignace, son of the former United States senator and an unsuccess ful candidate for congress from the 11th district, is considered a likely Democratic candidate. The governor's decision means Republicans will hold a 22-11 ma jority in the senate through most of the session, which is likely to adjourn in April.

and ALLIED FLORISTS "I 1 RUSSELL J. KLEIS Name Head Of Council Area Churches Elect Russell J. Kleis As President Russell J. Kleis, assistant pro fessor of education at Michigan State university, was named pres ident of the Lansing Area Council of Churches at the annual assembly held Friday at Bethlehem Lutheran church. Other officers elected were Rev Charles O.

Erickson, pastor of Haslett Community church, vice president; Mrs. Cleo Taylor, sec retary, and Richard Sellers, treas urer. Robert H. Scott, assistant direc tor of the state department of corrections, assisted by Dr. Harold B.

Stonehouse and Dr. Kleis, presented the question for the evening discussion, "What is the Task of the Church in the 60s?" This was followed by a discussion held about each of the 28 tables in the room. A summary of the findings from the tables was presented. 'The council is the composite of the members of the churches and can do only what they allow it to do through their commitment and dedication," Dr. Stonehouse said.

"All of us in every field of life can do together more and better things than any one of us can do alone." Dr. Kleis suggested that "the parish of today's church is wherever its members are in busi ness, politics, education, recreation, etc. "We do not live in a world," he said. "We live in many worlds. We need to remember our com mission to minister to the whole world." Prior to giving his instructions to the table chairmen, Mr.

Scott said: "The brokenness, fragmentation, futility and loss of mean ing of our age should not be taken as a part of the world in which i live. Rather these factors should be a challenge to us." Rev. Truman Morrison, pastor of Edgewood Peoples church, led the group in worship. He said in the course of his meditation, "It is the church composed of falli ble men that is indestructible in supplying Christian continuity from one generation to another.
