Guards called in storm
By United Press International
National Guardsmen patroled
the ice-glazed streets of New
Castle, Ind., today, stepping
around sparking power lines
and over huge trees felled by
the clinging layers of ice.
“It’s nothing to hear a big
crash and see a full-grown tree
fall down in front of you,” said
New Castle Police Sgt. David

Fighting breaks out
at Pensacola school
PENSACOLA, Fla. (UPI) -
Escambia High School in
Pensacola is closed today and
authorities hope it will result in
the cooling-off of racial tensions
that saw two people wounded
and nine arrested during a
melee involving 1,500 black and
white students Thursday.
Students used rocks, tree
limbs and belts during the 4%-
hour disturbance, which broke
out over whether the school’s
athletic teams should be called
the “Rebels” or the “Raiders”.
Riot squad officers from the
Escambia County Sheriff’s De
partment, using tear gas and
attack dogs, finally quelled the
fighting by cordoning off the 300
to 400 blacks inside the school
from the 1,200 whites outside.
The students outside dispersed
and peace was restored.
Sheriff’s Sgt. Jim Edson said
a man who claimed to be
picking up his sister grabbed a
gun from his glove compart-

Two other persons died when
a twin-engine plane crashed in
a blinding snow storm in
Vermont.
San Francisco bus riders said
“Merry Christmas” to each
other as they headed to and
from their jobs in the snow
bound city.
Up to six inches of snow
blanketed hills around the Bay
area. A few city-dwellers raced
down hills on skis.
The storm brought needed
moisture for drought-plagued
California’s farmers, but ex
perts say it was too little to lift
the drought.
Up to 27 inches of snow fell in
the High Sierra, where ski
resorts have been closed or
severely hampered by a lack of
snow.
The Rockies also were hard
hit. Thirty inches of snow fell in
24 hours at Colorado’s Purgato
ry ski area and 22 inches at
Wolf Creek Pass.

and wounded two persons, one
superdicially. Both victims were
treated and released.
Authorities later arrested
Raymond Lindsey, 22, of
Pensacola, and charged him
with aggravated assault. Bond
was set at 110,000.
Six other persons were
treated and released at area
hospitals, Edson said. A total of
nine students were taken into
custody.
Reporters at the scene,
however, said dozens of persons
were treated at the scene for
tear gas inhalation, cuts and
bruises.
Fighting among black and
white students broke out at 8
a.m. The school was closed at 9
a.m., but it took police until
12:45 p.m. to clear the building.
Witnesses at the school said
facilities were badly damaged,
particularly the cafeteria.

has made to the board, and
four additional vacancies will
develop during his present term
of office.
“If I leave no other mark as
governor, I am determined to
improve the quality of educa

Busbee. “In screening pros
pects to fill these vital positions

select members who share my
view that we need a new
direction in education in which
the basics of reading, writing
and arithmetic are re-em
phasized.”

high school teacher for 11
years, succeeds Mrs. A. Ed
ward Smith of Columbus.

and eight-year member of his
city board, succeeds Sam
